The four young shinobi felt the strange man's raw killing intent and pictured their own gruesome deaths right before them. Kimimaro quickly regained his composure and bowed before the pale ninja, "Orochimaru, you are a missing-nin from the Leaf Village who started the Hidden Sound. You are in a league of your own and we despise our Mizukage. Would you .. let us join you in order to get stronger?"

"Such a straightforward guy. What do you have to offer?" the Sound Head's lips slithered into a frightening grin.

As the Kaguya clansmen stood back up, all four boys glared at Orochimaru and expressed their own raw killing intent. The Sannin stepped back as he felt an individual death from each boy and a final death from their combined thirst for blood.

"I am Kimimaro of the Kaguya. I can manipulate my bone structure. Haku can use ice release because he is part of the Yuki clan. Suigetsu can become water and wields one of the Seven Swords of the Mist. Chojuro wields another one as well."

"We're just going to roll over to him? You're shitting me?" Suigetsu piped in, "I want to kill something."

"It's the smartest decision. Right, captain?" Kimimaro stared at the awkward leader.

"Ah, yes... a good decision, Kimimaro." Chojuro's looked away.

"Well then, show me your skills against Jugo and capture him." Orochimaru's grin grew even more.

"Wait, Lord Orochimaru. Haku needs to report that we'll take a while in order delay being classified as missing-nin. Hunter-nin will be on our tracks, if we don't report in due to the long duration of this trip." Kimimaro added.

"Fine, then. Haku may go and then catch up with us."

The masked boy nodded and rushed off to the village in a hurry.

Back at the cave, the frenzied Jugo had been easily subdued by Kimimaro's bones.

Utterly amazing... this boy could have caught me by surprise with this awesome kekkei genkai. Orochimaru thought to himself.

"Hey, Jugo. I am Kimimaro and these are my friends. If you follow us, we'll become good friends and you can learn to control your power." the bone ninja smiled.

Jugo's jaw dropped, "R-really?"

"Yes."

"Thank you."

Once Haku rejoined the group, they were on their way to Otogakure. A week had passed when they had finally gotten close to the Sound Village's main hideout. Orochimaru, had constantly talked with them about special abilities and jutsu.

"You boys will challenge my Sound Five. Although, they may win based upon their summoning techniques that work well with their fighting style if things go for an extended period of time." the snake man mused.

"We'll just cut them down before they can use summons. Hell, maybe I can use my own summon." Suigetsu chimed in.

"I love it. We'll go to a field near the base once my right-hand man joins us. I'll have him bring them to us." the snake man licked his lips.

Once they arrived at the field. Suigetsu summoned a giant clam, but it was obscured by smoke and mist. The water ninja then followed up with his water dragon jutsu to get them moving.

As they dodged, Kimimaro came from the side and knocked four of the Sound Five out quickly as they dodged both the water dragon and illusions of the Mist Ninja, the fifth member blocked his attack. The Lone Sound Ninja countered and broke the thin layer of bone as well as the Kaguya's ulna with one chop.

"Hg. Impressive. I can fix that bone quickly. My name is Kimimaro Kaguya." the silver haired boy introduced himself.

"Genyumaru." the sound ninja muttered.

Kimimaro rushed him and knocked him out cold with a hardened headbutt, "Nice to meet you."

Orochimaru quickly came to the battlefield as soon as the summon ended. "I wish you boys would've showed off your techniques without the mist. But it was a good strategy against them."

As the two remaining sound ninja got within range, ice mirrors formed around them, twenty-one in total. Haku stepped into the mirror with a bone-knife in his left hand.

Kimimaro ran to his two opponents and performed his Dance of the Camelia. He made a bone sword and assaulted the two Sound Heads. Both of them blocked the initial array of irregular stabs, but the Kaguya managed to wound them get them open for Haku. The ice user decapitated their heads and ended his Demonic Ice Mirrors jutsu.

As the technique ended, a giant snake erupted from Orochimaru's headless body.

"You will pay for this!" the snake monster charged.

Chojuro and Suigetsu sliced through the monsterin unison with their swords. Separating the head and upper half from the rest of the body.

"Jugo." Kimimaro called out.

"On it!" the orange haired giant crushed Orochimaru's head with his transformed arm.

"Shit. That went way too smoothly. Are you sure that's the real one?" Suigetsu gripped his sword tight.

"The blood... It's paralyzing.. must be the air.." Chojuro muttered.

Everyone was paralyzed, barring Haku. Luckily, the paralysis was only temporary with no other side effects, but the Sound Five started waking up before the ice ninja could tend to his teammates.

"What the hell did you do to Lord Orochimaru?" Tayuya demanded.

"We killed him and we have enough strength to kill all of you." Haku bluffed.

"None of us want to fight you again. We actually want you Sound villagers to join us. The Mist Village needs powerful bloodlines and ninja like you." Kimimaro strained to stand.

"I'll join." Genyumaru smiled as the other Sound Ninja turned in confusion.

"You wanna join these asswipes?" Tayuya pointed at them.

"Yeah. My clan need this and so do I. What would be the point in staying here anyways now that Orochimaru's gone? You guys might as well just join the Mist Village."

The Sound Four all looked at each other, "Fine."

The backup came sixteen minutes later. It was Ao, Chukichi, Mei and several other jonin.

"Mission report!" Ao ordered.

"We have killed Orochimaru and his right hand man. His strongest followers, the Sound Five are willing to join us and there are more clans or ninja that may be willing, sir." Haku reported.

"Alright then, we'll search the bases and gather as much information as possible. Afterwards, we'll leave for Kirigakure."
