By surviving their respective matches, they proved themselves to be the strongest of Orochimaru ‘s prisoners and as such were made his bodyguards. [ 2 ] The Sound Four were at some point forced to accept Kimimaro as their drawing card, who well defeated them all in battle and, because of his Shikotsumyaku abilities, was slated to be Orochimaru ‘s future host torso. Under Kimimaro their group was known as the Sound Five ( 音隠れの忍五人衆, Otogakure no Shinobi Gonin Shū, literally meaning: Hidden Sound Shinobi Five People ). In the anime, the Sound Five assisted Orochimaru with assassinating the Fourth Kazekage and killing Shiore ‘s team during the Chūnin Exams in Konohagakure. Kimimaro fell terminally ill after this, forcing him to withdraw from the group ; he became ill at some unspecified prison term in the manga .

Like the rest of the Sound Five, Tayuya constantly referred to her enemies as “ rubbish ” and was arrogant adequate that she thought she could kill Kakashi. however, she demonstrated fear towards Kimimaro, knowing he could easily kill her as he ‘d beaten her and the rest of her team once earlier. During her crusade against Shikamaru, Tayuya besides developed a begrudging level of respect for her adversary and complimented him in her own backhand way. Like some of her teammates, Tayuya had her own percept of ethical motive as she criticised Shikamaru for sacrificing members of his team to bring back one person who left with them voluntarily. When Sakon commented about Jirōbō and Kidōmaru ‘s delay in re-joining their group ( not knowing they were dead ), Tayuya was more concerned about their leader Orochimaru .

She had brown eyes that were accentuated by her eyelashes extending into the corners of her eyes and was normally sporting an impassive expression on her face.

Demonic Flute

Tayuya was the only member of the Sound Four to use fathom as her primary coil fight style, in the shape of her Demonic Flute and was shown to have huge skill using it. In a fight with Shikamaru, she was able to dodge attacks and play her flute simultaneously. however, her flute, having been her only weapon, left her more vulnerable to close-range combat as she lacked predilection for any other tools.
