Orochimaru
See The Legendary Sannin

Kabuto Yakushi
"Voiced by: Nobutoshi Canna (JP), Henry Dittman (EN), Moisés Ivan Mora (Latin America), Ricardo Escobar (Spain)"

Orochimaru's right hand man.

As a young child, Kabuto was orphaned in the Great Ninja War. Konoha's Head of Medical Corps took pity on him, taking him in and teaching him medicine. At some point in the past, he started working for Sasori, who erased part of his memory to make him a sleeper agent. Then, when Orochimaru defected from Akatsuki, he broke the memory seal, and Kabuto became Orochimaru's follower.

In combat, Kabuto uses medical techniques that he repurposed for combat. His main technique is the Ninja Scalpel, which can sever the strongest muscles with great ease. This, combined with his love of torture, make him an especially dangerous opponent.

Kabuto shows up in the first series during the Chunin Exams; at first, he appears to be a good guy, helping Naruto's team make it to the finish. Later, it's revealed he's spying on Naruto and Sasuke. After this revelation, he (while disguised as an ANBU) heals Hinata's rather severe internal injuries even though he gained absolutely nothing by doing so (and was healing somebody who could literally see right through his mask if she woke up). He plays a bit of a bigger role in the Search for Tsunade arc, where he engages Tsunade in battle. Though she has her Super Strength to fall back on, he quickly finds a way around it, beating her. Fortunately, Naruto saves her and is more than willing to demonstrate his new Rasengan on Kabuto.

In Shippuden, he shows up in the second arc. Later, after Orochimaru dies, he has something of an existential crisis and integrates some of Orochimaru's DNA into his body. He feels that he needs to prove his strength by overpowering the growth in his body, but appears to be failing... -
 * Adjusting Your Glasses: Type 3.
 * Affably Evil: Towards Naruto anyway.
 * Animal Motifs: Guess. And later.
 * All Your Powers Combined:
 * All Webbed Up:
 * Bad with the Bone:
 * Biological Mashup:
 * Dishing Out Dirt:
 * Elemental Shapeshifter:
 * Healing Factor: The main reason Orochimaru got an interest in him are his unusually high regeneration abilities..
 * Musical Assassin:
 * Avenging the Villain
 * The Assimilator
 * Awesomeness By Analysis
 * Ax Crazy: Comes very early in the series when he spoke of getting his blood riled up and when his eyes would get crazy and bloodshot when angered. This hinted at a more violent and bloodthirsty side, but we never saw any evidence of it past the chunin exams.
 * Badass:
 * Badass Bookworm: Never been impressive physically, but he is very gifted in medicine, poison and biology, while being also cunning and quite manipulative.
 * Handicapped Badass: His glasses aren't for deception, he really has myopia. That means that when he escaped from Naruto soon after absorbing Orochimaru's remains, when not wearing his glasses, he was technically "half-blind".
 * Bastard Understudy: To Orochimaru.
 * Berserk Button: Don't dismiss the value of a name to his face.
 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Male example, especially in the Chunin exams.
 * Blind Without Them
 * Blinded by the Light/Sonic Stunner:
 * Body Horror: Gets scales all over his body and a snake growing out of his abdomen after he "masters" Orochimaru's cells power.
 * Boss Rush: His necromancy is a real Game Breaker.
 * The Chessmaster
 * Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: His genuine loyalty to Orochimaru is the exception.
 * Combat Medic / Deadly Doctor
 * Combat Pragmatist: Slits his wrist and throws his blood on Tsunade because she is Afraid of Blood and later wipes his own blood in Naruto's eyes to blind him.
 * Contemplate Our Navels: He bombards Naruto with questions such as "Who are we? What is our purpose?" prior to revealing he has fused himself with the remains of Orochimaru to give himself an identity.
 * Crazy Prepared: He appears to have.
 * Curb Stomp Battle:.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Deep-Cover Agent: Spent much of his life as one, working for, Orochimaru, and Akatsuki.
 * Double Reverse Quadruple Agent
 * Enigmatic Minion
 * Evil Albino
 * Evil Counterpart: One of Naruto's, more subtly than the others. His main motive seems to be to validate his own existence--he peppers Naruto with fauxlosophic questions on the subject upon reappearing after Orochimaru's death. This is a rather warped take on Naruto's (initial) reasons for wanting to be Hokage.
 * Evil Genius: Is this in Tobi's shaky alliance, with Zetsu doubling as the Dark Chick and The Dragon and Sasuke as The Brute.
 * Evil Gloating: Indulges more and more into this trope once has begun, to the point of being quite insuferable during his fight against
 * Eviler Than Thou:
 * Explaining Your Power to the Enemy: Especially in his fight against . Goes hand in hand with bragging constantly about how far he has evolved and is supposedly undefeatable.
 * Fan Nickname: ...
 * Fate Worse Than Death: Itachi traps Kabuto in a genjutsu that he can't break out of unless he's willing to admit to his faults. However, he eventually does admit to his faults, though since he's convinced he's unstoppable it takes a while in order for him to do so.
 * Four Eyes, Zero Soul: Pre-evolution.
 * Hellish Pupils: Post-evolution, and bow howdy are they creepy. They're almost Terumi-esque levels of devilish.
 * Black Eyes of Evil: When you thought he couldn't get any scarier this happens
 * Freudian Excuse: He's telling Sasuke and Itachi his childhood, possibly invoking this trope by saying he had "nothing"...and yet this is so far averted since he was taken in by an Orphanage of Love where one nun gave him her own glasses so he could see. This actually makes him a bit scarier--how detached is he to see all that kindness as nothing?
 * From Nobody to Nightmare
 * Gambit Pileup: Not exactly him, but
 * Genre Savvy:
 * Dangerously Genre Savvy:.
 * Wrong Genre Savvy: His choice of . Though it's hard to say if he is really trying to win the war.
 * Humanoid Abomination: Finally upgraded into one by the time he meets the Big Bad in person.
 * Horned Humanoid:.
 * Irony:.
 * : kind of. As a kid, he forgot his after a battle, and he was wearing a  when the people who found him decided to.
 * Loss of Identity: Struggled with this his whole life. Only after Orochimaru's death does he confront it and decides to assimilate his remains and become a new more powerful person.
 * Mad Doctor
 * Mad Scientist
 * Meaningful Name: "Yakushi" is the name of the Buddha of Medicine. Fitting for the second best medic-nin of the series.
 * Theme Naming: "Kabuto" is a samurai's helmet, which matches his teammates Yoroi Akado ("armor") and Misumi Tsurugi ("sword").
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Master Poisoner: Was able to synthesize a poison that could
 * Mr. Exposition: During the chuunin exams.
 * The Mole
 * Reverse Mole: Interesting subversion between two groups of villains. Is allegedly Sasori's spy, but he's actually loyal to Orochimaru.
 * More Than Mind Control: After Orochimaru freed him from Sasori's Mind Control, he chose to become loyal to him, not from gratitude, but because he was seduced by his view of the world and motives.
 * Multiple Choice Past: It's been revealed that the backstory he gave when he was introduced.
 * : One of three, the other two being Orochimaru . Kabuto is probably the best example though. He's the only one . Even before he had shades of this with his Dead Soul Jutsu reanimating corpses to use as decoys.
 * Nerd Glasses: Subverted. After he turns out to be with Orochimaru, these turn into Four Eyes, Zero Soul.
 * Not So Harmless: He seemed to be a not very good Chunin candidate, but after he's revealed to be Orochimaru's right-hand man, he's shown to be a Jonin-level medical ninja.
 * Later on,.
 * His latest achievement is
 * One-Man Army: Thanks to.
 * Personality Blood Types: In Shippuden. Kabuto is AB, despite Orochimaru's asking if he is A based on his compulsive desire to keep corpses sealed in a scroll in a certain order.
 * Pet the Dog: Cured Hinata of the wounds she got against Neji for apparently no reason other than random kindness. Much later he also heals Sakura from her 4-Tailed inflicted wounds, though he justifies it through pragmatism.
 * Power Parasite: In Part II. Implants himself with Orochimaru's cells after the latter's "death". Later he steals some abilities of, but he doesn't forget to train properly in some other fields.
 * Psychotic Smirk: Prone to this after he.
 * Sanity Slippage: After Orochimaru's death.
 * Scaled Up:
 * Scary Shiny Glasses
 * Self-Made Orphan:
 * Snakes Are Evil: Has picked this up from Orochimaru. He.
 * Snake Person: Takes after Orochimaru.
 * The Starscream: Played with. It's suggested that he might be trying to betray Orochimaru (with Orochimaru even musing that he's not sure which way Kabuto will go), but he never actually does, possibly because Sasuke did it first.
 * Story-Breaker Power:.
 * Teens Are Monsters: Before the timeskip he is merely nineteen years old and has some severe issues from his childhood as the Sole Survivor found after a large battle.
 * Took a Level In Badass: From Orochimaru's Dragon to.
 * Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Could be considered a Most Triumphant Aversion. He started as a jonin-level threat. Now he's probably.
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy:
 * Wild Card
 * Xanatos Gambit:  Whether or not he considers the latter outcome a benefit depends on whether or not he cares if his plan is acomplished while he's alive.

Sound Genin
The Sound Genin appear during the Chunin exams. While they initially appear to be a legitimate three-man squad, it's revealed that they're just taking the test to get at Sasuke. All three of them die by the end of the arc. They are:

Zaku Abumi
"Voiced By: Souichiro Hoshi (JP, child) Keiji Okuda (JP) Sam Riegel (EN)"

Zaku fights using special pipes in his arms which allow him to channel wind with destructive force. As a child, he was a thief at his village who faced punishment from the authorities. Orochimaru saw what he liked in the boy (no, not like that--probably), and recruited him. In the Chunin Exams, he fights Shino, who beats him by plugging up his arm holes with bugs. He then is used as a human sacrifice to revive one of the Hokages. -
 * Gale Force Sound: His air tubes shoot out sound waves.
 * Jerkass
 * Out-Gambitted: In his fight with Shino.
 * Pride: Very arrogant.
 * "Well Done, Son" Guy: The anime shows this (towards Orochimaru) is his main motivation.
 * When All You Have Is a Hammer: His sound waves are his main jutsu, and can be used from anything from attacking targets to blocking kunai to even softening the earth.

Kin Tsuchi
"Voiced By: Akiko Koike (JP) Stephanie Sheh (EN)"

Kin is a long-haired Dark Action Girl who fights using strings attached to bells, which are then used to hypnotize and disorient her opponents (although in the manga they simply distracted served to distract the opponent while she threw more needles at them). She and her companions attempt to kill Sasuke under Orochimaru's orders and she's the one who holds Sakura hostage, which drives her to her Important Haircut. Later, she fights Shikamaru in the Chunin Exams, who demonstrates his superior strategic thinking by sliding his shadow under one of her strings, then forcing her to knock herself out. She's then used as a human sacrifice. -
 * Dark Chick
 * Jerkass
 * Rapunzel Hair
 * Sonic Stunner: Through her bells.

Dosu Kinuta
"Voiced By: Daisuke Egawa (JP) John De Mita (EN)"

Dosu fights using his Melody Arm, a special attachment which, when struck, causes painful resonation within the body. Since the inner ear is used for balance, it's quite devastating. In the Chunin Exams, he fights Chouji, who attempts to avoid his Melody Arm by curling up into a ball. It's to no avail as, thanks to the body being mostly water, it makes an excellent conductor of sound. After he advances, he decides he'll have a better shot at fighting Sasuke by killing the Uchiha's opponent, Gaara. Naturally, this fails, and he dies. -
 * Curb Stomp Battle: Dosu's fight with Choji in the Chunin Exams. Choji rolls into a wall and Dosu finishes him off with his sound waves.
 * Dropped a Bridge on Him: Killed off while trying to kill Gaara so that he can face Sasuke more easily.
 * Genius Bruiser: Has a good grasp of how to take advantage of his opponents' weak spots, and even realizes that Orochimaru is using the Sound Genin.
 * The Faceless: His face is covered in wrappings except for one eye.
 * Sonic Stunner: His melody arm which can cause extreme disorientation without even striking the opponent.

Sound Five
The Sound Five are Orochimaru's squad of personal bodyguards. They first appear during the Chunin Exam arc, where they prevent anyone from interfering with Orochimaru's fight with the Third Hokage. Their main appearance, though, is in the Sasuke Retrieval arc, where they are sent to escort Sasuke to Orochimaru's lair and serve as the antagonists of the arc. Each of them fights one of the members of the Retrieval team, and all of them are dead by the end of the arc.

Each of them possesses a Cursed Seal, which allows them to transform into more powerful forms during battle.

The Sound Five as a whole have examples of:


 * Barrier Warriors: The Sound Four cast various barrier and sealing jutsu together.
 * Five-Bad Band:
 * Kimimaro-Big Bad
 * Sakon/Ukon-The Dragon
 * Kidomaru-Evil Genius
 * Jirobo-The Brute
 * Tayuya-Dark Chick
 * Orochimaru-Bigger Bad
 * One-Winged Angel: Courtesy of the Curse Mark
 * Younger Than They Look: Believe it or not, they are FOURTEEN. Kimimaro's fifteen.
 * What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic: The single colored tao symbols on their uniforms, meant to represent imbalance.

Their members are:

Jirobo
"Voiced by: Kenta Miyake (JP), Michael Sorich (EN)"

Big guy. Constantly berating Tayuya for her foul mouth. Very physically strong, but the weakest overall of the five. Hates being called fat, but calls Choji fat constantly in their battle -- go figure.

He knows lots of Earth-Style jutsu and taijutsu, and can eat other peoples' chakra to strengthen himself. His Cursed Seal form makes him bigger and tougher.

Has Choji on the ropes for most of their fight, but Choji uses a Deadly Upgrade and kills him in one punch. -
 * Berserk Button: Being called fat.
 * Boomerang Bigot: Makes fun of Choji for being fat during their fight, despite being fatter than he is.
 * The Brute: But a lot smarter than most examples, enough to dish out some serious emotional abuse against Chouji. Not smart enough to realize, however, that dissing Shikamaru was a really bad idea...
 * Dishing Out Dirt
 * Evil Redhead
 * Fat Bastard
 * Life Energy: He can eat chakra to regain strength.
 * Mighty Glacier
 * One-Winged Angel: Becomes even bigger, grows more hair, has his skin turn red, and grows wart-like portrubences.
 * Power Makes Your Hair Grow
 * Stout Strength
 * Super Strength: He is able to lift a giant Choji!

Kidomaru
"Voiced by: Susumu Chiba (JP), Peter Lurie (EN)"

Spider guy. Has four extra arms. Sort of dark skinned. Does whatever a spider can...and more. Can produce both regular webs and golden ones which instantly harden to become harder than steel. In the Japanese version, always talks as if battles are some sort of Real Time Strategy game. A good strategist, though -- is able to determine Neji's weakness merely by watching him fight for a while.

Can instantly forge weapons using his webs, including a bow-and-arrow with tremendous destructive potential. Has a personal summon; a spider who can instantly create hundreds of smaller ones. His Cursed Seal form makes him more spiderlike.

Nearly kills Neji, but Neji manages to turn the tables on him at the last minute. -
 * Ambiguously Brown
 * Arachnid Appearance and Attire: 8 members, check; can make web, check; has a spider for summon, check. He even gets a Third Eye when in One-Winged Angel form.
 * The Archer: Is able to make just about anything out of his webbing, including a fully-fledged bow and arrow set.
 * Awesomeness By Analysis
 * Evil Genius: It takes Kidoumaru about five minutes to figure out the weakness in the Hyuuga Clan's much-vaunted Absolute Defense, and another two minutes to exploit it and bring Neji to his knees.
 * Giant Spider: Summons one in Level Two, and it reproduces. Sleep tight, arachnophobes...
 * Multi-Armed and Dangerous: This is never mentioned nor discussed in-universe.
 * Multi Ranged Master
 * One-Winged Angel: Becomes even more spider-like, grows horns, and has his hair turn white and grow.
 * Power Makes Your Hair Grow
 * Third Eye
 * Power Dyes Your Hair
 * The Strategist: And thinks killing people is fun, like an RTS game. Remember that he's fourteen years old.
 * Wrong Genre Savvy: Told Neji that it's the destiny of minor characters to be removed from the game first. Too bad he didn't realize he was the minor character...

Sakon and Ukon
"Voiced by: Shunsuke Sakuya (JP), Brian Beacock (EN)"

Two members for the price of one. They share the same body most of the time, and are basically the same in terms of personality -- the only real difference is that Sakon is a showboat who likes to toy with his opponents, while Ukon likes to end things quickly.

With their unique kekkai genkai, Ukon is able to spend most of his time sleeping in Sakon's body, but can emerge to give Sakon extra arms or legs to work with, or can separate entirely. They can also merge with their opponents to destroy the enemy's body from the inside. Their Cursed Seal form is a two-headed ogre -- when they split in this form, half of their body is covered in spikes.

They tangle with Kiba and Akamaru in a two-on-two fight, but are eventually killed by Kankuro's puppet combinations. -
 * Ax Crazy: To the point where he had to be reminded not to kill Sasuke in their first meeting.
 * Biological Mashup: Their main skill is using their ability to fuse their bodies with each other and their opponents.
 * Brains and Brawn: To a degree. Sakon handles the physical stuff, while Ukon deals with the possession jutsu and other mental aspects of fighting.
 * Creepy Twins
 * The Dragon / The Starscream: To Kimimaro. He's the strongest member after him, acts as the leader in the latter's absence, and really doesn't seem to like him.
 * Grand Theft Me: Ukon can take control of his enemy's body and slowly kill them, but is hurt when the target is hurt, too.
 * Healing Factor: Due to their cellular based powers.
 * One-Winged Angel: Turns into a demonic looking pair of ogres, with fangs, claws, Spikes of Villainy, and one arm and leg that are grossly larger and more deformed than the other.
 * Horned Humanoid
 * Real Men Wear Pink: Both brothers wear blue lipstick.
 * Sissy Villain: A subversion: he's pretty and wears a lot of makeup, but his mannerisms are anything but feminine, and he's a violent, unapologetic sadist to boot.
 * Spikes of Villainy: In One-Winged Angel form.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Tayuya
"Voiced by: Akeno Watanabe (JP), Kari Wahlgren (EN), Cristina Hernandez (Latin America)"

The only female. Redheaded Dark Action Girl. Very rude. In combat, she uses a flute to order around three huge demons. Her Cursed Seal form is a five-horned demon-like creature with brown skin. Fights Shikamaru to a draw, but is killed by Temari. -
 * Brown Note: While playing a melody on her flute, Tayuya can create an illusion that her opponent is strung up by wires while the skin starts to melt off their bones.
 * Cluster F-Bomb: In some translations.
 * Cute Monster Girl: Her level two curse transformation is much less monstrous and ugly than the others. Some think she even looks better.
 * Dark Action Girl: Is more than capable of fighting both physically and tactically, at one point decking Naruto in the face hard enough to send him flying.
 * Dark Chick: Of the Sound Five.
 * Evil Redheads
 * Fiery Redhead
 * Flunky Boss: Her main method of fighting is controlling three demonic creatures with her flute.
 * Lady of War: She fights from long-range by playing a flute.
 * Master of Illusion: Tayuya is shown to be skilled at genjutsu.
 * Musical Assassin: Her flute is heavily utilized in her fighting style.
 * One-Winged Angel: A demon girl with multiple horns and very creepy eyes.
 * Horned Humanoid
 * Summon Magic: Summons Youkai demons based on the Monkey Morality Pose.
 * Playing Against Type: In Latin-America, she's voiced by Sakura. The REALLY famous one.
 * Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Tends to be the one heaping on verbal abuse of her teammates, and doesn't seem to enjoy working with her squad...although there may be a reason for her conduct: when Shikamaru catches them up while impersonating Jiroubou, Tayuya immediately throws off a string of abusive remarks, and she, Kidoumaru, and Sakon instantly caught on on to the deception when Shikamaru-as-Jiroubou just takes her abuse without complaint.
 * Worthy Opponent: Considers Shikamaru this in their battle, and vice-versa.

Kimimaro Kaguya
"Child Voice: Makoto Tsumura (JP), Kari Wahlgren (EN) Adult Voice: Toshiyuki Morikawa (JP), Keith Silverstein (EN)"

The strongest member. The last member of a clan of Blood Knights who were killed off after attempting to revolt against the Hidden Mist Village. Taken in by Orochimaru, who he idolizes. He was originally supposed to be Orochimaru's next vessel, but he contracted a terminal illness (likely tuberculosis), which prevented this. The others didn't want him to join, but as he was able to kick their asses all at once, they didn't have much of a choice.

He has a kekkai genkai which allows him to control the growth of his bones, which are harder than steel. He can cause them to protrude from his body as Spikes of Doom, or remove them from his body entirely to use as weapons. (They evidently grow back instantaneously.) This reaches squicky levels at times, for example when he pulls out his own spine to use as a weapon. His Cursed Seal form is a dinosaur-like creature.

Fights Naruto, then Rock Lee, and then Gaara. He beats the first two without much difficulty, but is nearly buried alive by Gaara. He manages to break free (which should have been physically impossible), but succumbs to his illness before he can land the killing blow(it should have still landed, but him dying magically robbed the attack of all its momentum for some reason).

. -
 * Anatomy Arsenal
 * Anti-Villain: Type I
 * Awesome Yet Practical: He uses his ability to manipulate his skeleton to move after his illness has rendered him immobile.
 * May explain the above loss of momentum as his attack being a reshaping of his body instead of movement.
 * Badass: Fights successive one-on-one battles with Naruto, Lee (admittedly not fighting at his best), and Gaara. Only the last of the three actually manages to seriously harm him, and even then Kimimaro only lost because he was already terminally ill before the fight ever started.
 * Bad with the Bone
 * Ballistic Bone
 * Convenient Terminal Illness
 * Ill Boy
 * Incurable Cough of Death: The reason why Orochimaru can't take his body.
 * Your Days Are Numbered
 * Determinator: His illness was well into it's final stages before he set out to retrieve Sasuke, and keeps on fighting until the moment of his death.
 * The Dragon: Leader of the Sound Five, and one of Orochimaru's best followers. May have been Co-Dragons with Kabuto pre-illness. If you count the anime, then both Kimimaro and Kabuto shared this role with Guren.
 * Expy: His relationship with Orochimaru is quite reminiscent of Zabuza and Haku's. However, unlike Zabuza and Haku, who basically have a father-son relationship, Orochimaru is not unhappy about Kimimaro's death and decides he'll simply move on to Sasuke.
 * Facial Markings: Like all members of the Kaguya clan, two points on the forehead, which are based on a fashion of ancient Japanese noblemen.
 * Implacable Man
 * Last of His Kind: The last living Kaguya.
 * Let's Fight Like Gentlemen: During his fight with Rock Lee, Lee stops him for a few moments by...telling him to wait and let him take his medicine, as he had just recovered from major surgery. Kimimaro abides.
 * Lightning Bruiser: Of the hard-hitting speedster variety.
 * Lovecraftian Superpower
 * Nigh Invulnerability: Highly durable, and able to resist Gaara's Sand Coffin.
 * One-Winged Angel: Bones jut out completely, hair colour and eye colour changes, and he gets even faster and more Nigh Invulnerable.
 * Only One Name: In spite of being from the Kaguya clan, the databooks say his name is only "Kimimaro".
 * Relationship Voice Actor: He tangles with the Liam O'Brien-voiced Gaara. Hmm...
 * Spikes of Doom: Many of his moves, particularly Dance of the Larch, involve sprouting bones from his body to impale him.
 * Spikes of Villainy: The bones jutting from him in released form certainly count.
 * Spike Shooter
 * The Last Dance: Fights Naruto, Rock Lee and Gaara to ensure Orochimaru gets his new vessel.
 * The Renfield
 * The Stoic
 * Villainous Valour
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy
