Despite Sakon being more active than Ukon and was usually the main body, Sakon acknowledged his older brother's authority and faithfully obeyed any orders Ukon gave him. The twins shared a good relationship, but are capable of viewing each other objectively during combat since their personalities differed from one another. Likewise, Ukon was described as greatly self-confident, but was more quick-tempered than Sakon. This tendency of Sakon's caused him to slow down the rest of the group whenever he got interested in an opponent. When in battle, Sakon liked to prolong the fight by toying with the opponent and using unnecessarily powerful techniques to show off. Orochimaru and Kabuto noted Sakon to be the fastest and strongest member of the Sound Four, traits Sakon was very proud of. Kimimaro fell terminally ill after this, forcing him to withdraw from the group he became ill at some unspecified time in the manga.ĭescribed as spiteful and confident, Sakon enjoyed fighting and liked bad-mouthing the opposition.
In the anime, the Sound Five assisted Orochimaru with assassinating the Fourth Kazekage and killing Shiore's team during the Chūnin Exams in Konohagakure. 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). The Sound Four were at some point forced to accept Kimimaro as their leader, who easily defeated them all in battle and, because of his Shikotsumyaku abilities, was slated to be Orochimaru's next host body. By surviving their respective matches, they proved themselves to be the strongest of Orochimaru's prisoners and as such were made his bodyguards. In the anime, the Sound Four were originally prisoners of Orochimaru, forced to fight other prisoners to the death in battle royales. 6.1 Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation.Sakon ( 左近, Sakon) and his older brother Ukon ( 右近, Ukon) were twin brothers from Otogakure and the apparent leader(s) of the Sound Four.
