Kidomaru in his robes, Source [[1]]. A member of Orochimaru's elite squad, the Sound Four, Kidomaru earned his position and freedom from the Sound Village's vast prison/experimentation system by slaughtering his fellow prisoners in massive battles organized for Orochimaru's research. No longer fearful of death, his tactical abilities grew exponentially alongside his playfulness, especially with an enemy he finds interesting. However, not even he is immune to the Cursed Mark's intoxicating chakra, becoming aggressive and violent under its effects. Like most of the Sound Four, Kidomaru was born with a rare kekkei genkai, in his case three pairs of arms and a knack for climbing. During his mission to bring Sasuke to Orochimaru, he was left behind to delay his Hidden Leaf Village pursuers after Jirobo's failure, though Neji Hyuga stayed behind himself to allow the rest of his team to proceed. Kidomaru's strength and tactical nature so outweighed his opponent that he believed Neji to be dead and left to reconvene with his squad, only to be blindsided by his barely alive combatant. With one swift strike, Neji disabled the flow to Kidomaru's heart, killing him instantly. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Sound Four were resurrected by Kabuto to do battle with the ones that killed them. While stalemated at best against Neji, his ability to now use Underworld Turnover without drawback thanks to his immortal body quickly turned the tide, though Shikamaru quickly pulled together a strategy to draw Naruto to their location using their enhanced hatred, leading to their almost immediate sealing.
