Uh, yeah he was. Hence why he had the Anbu mask on when first called in by Tsunade.
And IIRC he wasn't literally "made" by Orochimaru. Yamato was a normal baby that was injected/infused with the First's DNA. He just happened to be one of the very few "successes" that didn't reject the DNA.
Hahaha so did I. Though it was mainly due to how sudden and out of nowhere it was. Bee's down for the count and Sasuke's feelin' all good, then all of a sudden LARIATOOOOOO~!
Overall though awesome episode. The fight looked amazing.
