While Hiruzen leads a mission along with his ANBU to capture him at one of his many caches, Orochimaru escapes and goes on the run as a Rogue Ninja. On the way to the country's border, Orochimaru gets ambushed by Kakashi, who easily gets defeated. A snake then approaches Orochimaru. Unaware of an explosive tag concealed in it, Orochimaru lets the snake have its way. The paperbomb detonates and greatly injures Orochimaru forcing him to retreat and seek for a hideout. Sent by Danzō, Kinoe is on his way to a venue to help Orochimaru cross the Land of Fire's border but once at the place where he should wait for Orochimaru, Kinoe meets the very peculiar Iburi clan who have been helped by Orochimaru.
