The Sound Five

Original Sound Five

The Sound Five (Sound Four before Kimimaro joined for a short time) were Orochimaru's specialized bodyguards. All were specially given the curse seal by Orochimaru, making them more ferious than they were before. The Sound Five were able to create numerous special techniques which required all members.

Members:

Jirobo

Jirobo is referred to as the weakest member according to other members. He relies on physical attacks, less jutsu involvled. His physical techniques aren't like most others'....unless of course lifting boulders with ease is normal. Jirobo is able to absorb chakra, another reason for why he enjoys physical combat.

Jirobo ends up getting into a battle with Choji. He ironically calls Choji fat the entire battle, but Choji didn't let this go in vein. Choji kills Jirobo with a blow to the chest.

Sakon and Ukon

Sakon and Ukon share a spot in the Sound Five. They are twin brothers who look very much alike (Sakon wears a beaded necklace around his neck, Ukon doesn't). Sakon and Ukon hold a unique Kekkei Genkai, the ability to merge bodies into one with one another or with an opponent. Ukon is usually the one to merge into Sakon, giving him extra limbs and such to help attack and defend. When combining with an opponent, Sakon and Ukon can "infect" them and slowly kill away their cells. There is one problem with this though, any damage that the opponent takes while Sakon and Ukon are in the body, Sakun and Ukon take that damage too.

Tayuya

Being the only female of the group, she is ill-tempered and very...bad. She is a master of the flute, her only weapon (making her fear close quarters combat). To help with her weapon shortage, Tayuya has the ability to summon 3 large demon-like creatures called Doki. She has the ability to control these Doki with her flute, making them attack and defend at her will. And of course, Tayuya's one weapon is not one to overlook. Her flute has the ability (when played) to cast genjutsu of all sorts.

Tayuya gets into a battle with Shikamaru Nara, a lazy guy who's genius mind is just waiting to be used. Their battle is a long, hard one as both were tactical experts. Tayuya gets the upperhand by pure physical force and is almost able to kill Shikamaru. Right before she is able to, Temari arrives. The Wind Ninja manages to break Tayuya's sacred flute, leaving Tayuya without a weapon to fight with. In the end, Tayuya is crushed under trees, rocks, and dirt from the entire forest Temari blew apart.

Sound Five in SL

The Sound Five play an important yet mysterious role. If you manage to find in which country they are hiding, maybe you could encounter them. But what then? Spar with them? Test your skills? Who knows what could happen from the legendary, curse seal holding, bodyguards of Orochimaru.
