History Characters / NarutoHiddenSoundVillage

* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: 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.''

!!CharacterSpecificPages

* TeamNormal: She doesn't have either body modifications like her partners or blood limit abilities. Instead, she uses needles and bells that emit paralyzing sounds.

One of the many prisoners of Orochimaru's that he keeps under lock and key in his hideout. Upon his current body being wrecked beyond repair and with Sasuke still not at the Sound Village, Kabuto has the prisoners kill each other in a BattleRoyale with the winner being promised his freedom. Needless to say, "freedom" here is defined by becoming the next host of Orochimaru, of which Gen'yūmaru is the "lucky winner". His body would serve as Orochimaru's vessel until his ill-fated attempt to claim Sasuke as his own.

* ArcherArchetype: His Spider War Bow: Terrible Shot allows him to create a bow and arrows out of his Spider Sticky Gold. He also fits the intellectual aspects and is a composed fighter but like everyone in the group, he is an unrepentant sadist.

* InvincibleVillain: He is ''never'' defeated throughout his appearances. He easily defeats the Sound Four in a Flashback and a thousand Naruto shadow clones powered up by the Nine-Tails chakra. Lee while drunk manages to catch him off-guard, but when he activates his Level One Cursed Seal, he quickly turns the tables. While Gaara nearly buries him alive, his Level Two Cursed Seal allows him to break free, and he is on the verge of killing both Gaara and Lee, when his illness finally does him in. After he gets revived by the Edo Tensei, he easily fights of a Squadron of Samurai, and even a Naruto shadow clone who mastered the Nine-Tails' chakra wasn't enough to keep him down. Only when the Edo Tensei ends, he finally dies for good.

* AlasPoorVillain: In-universe after his death, Rock Lee and Gaara had a talk about how unfortunate he was. See TragicVillain below.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Believe it or not, they are FOURTEEN. Except for Kimimaro who is fifteen. They only look their age in the stock photos we use.

* {{Bishounen}}: A strange, creepy version. They're even described as fox-like.

* {{Bishonen}}: Very handsome.

* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Tayuya once calls him an octopus, but this is otherwise never mentioned nor discussed in-universe.

* FlunkyBoss: Her main method of fighting is controlling three demonic creatures with her flute.

* InformedAbility: Shikamaru muses that she is almost as good of a tactician as he is, but this seems to be an assertion born in the stress of the moment. While Tayuya is clearly of the "smart ninja" type, her strength comes actually from [[SuperpowerLottery having some really powerful and not easy to counter techniques]], not from any inherently strategic usage of those. Tellingly, she is killed at the moment a similarly powerful offensive jutsu is thrown at her.

* TheQuietOne: During the Invasion of Konoha, she's the only one of the four who has no spoken lines, not even a grunt when reinforcing the barrier.[[note]]She gets a line in the anime before they set it up, however.[[/note]] She becomes more talkative during the Sasuke Retrieval storyline.

* TrashTalk: Kimimaro is very rude to opponents and those he views a below him, even his own Sound comrades. This trope becomes literal in the case of Naruto, with Kimimaro referring to Naruto and his Shadow Clone army as “scattered garbage” that needs to be cleaned up. In an anime filler flashback, Kimimaro tells the Sound Four to submit to him or die, and ridicules them as being “pathetic” after he defeats them.

* TheAce: Considered to be the strongest of Orochimaru's subordinates until Sasuke came along, and was viewed as a suitable vessel for Orochimaru had it not been for his fatal illness. Kabuto even noted that Orochimaru's botched invasion of the Hidden Leaf would've turned out differently if Kimmimaro had partken in the fighting. He was also the leader of the Sound Five, having defeated the rest of the Sound Four to establish his leadership. Unlike his teammates, he doesn't get defeated by an opponent but by his own illness. During the war arc, he was one of the few Edo Tensei zombies who did not get sealed by Allied Shinobi Forces, even holding his own against a Naruto shadow clone that mastered the Nine-Tail's chakra.

* TheDarkChick: Ironically, she's the only of the Sound Five to actually use sound as a weapon.

* ContraltoOfDanger: In contrast to Kin's squeaky register, she has a fairly deep voice in the original Japanese anime and is a foul-tempered bitch who can kick your ass. Counts as a TomboyishVoice too.

* VocalDissonance: In the Japanese anime, her voice has a fairly squeaky pitch that one wouldn't expect from her otherwise dour demeanor; contrast with Tayuya's ContraltoOfDanger.

** He is a foil to Sasuke in several ways. They are both considered at separate times to be Orochimaru's ideal vessel for possessing a kekkei genkai. Jugo sees Sasuke as Kimimaro's memento. Gaara sees the same eyes in Kimimaro as Sasuke, eyes seeking to prove his existence. They both followed Orichimaru for their purpose. The biggest difference being Kimimaro was loyal to Orochimaru while Sasuke wasn't and followed his own path.

* LastOfHisKind: The last living Kaguya.

* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: Out of his bones. With it he could make a [[CoolSword swords]], BladeBelowTheShoulder, a [[WhipItGood Whip]], and a giant spearhead.
* SycophanticServant: To Orochimaru.

* AssholeVictim: For how gruesome his death was, we really don't feel for him

* WorfHadTheFlu: A group of powerful shinobi, they are only defeated by the Sasuke Retrieval Team (mostly composed of genin) because they were hurt and exhausted after their battle with Genma and Raido.

* OffModel: He's no looker, that's for sure, but his appearances across the five-part Land of the Sea arc have him drawn distinctively different in each episode. Episode 171 has him resemble [[Franchise/GhostInTheShell Batou]] of all people.

* BerserkButton: Being called fat.
