Kidōmaru and you were teammates in the sound four, although the two of you didn't interact that much for the past months, always focusing on both of your missions instead.

You were carrying the large basket made out of light wood with Sasuke Uchiha inside of it, on your back, the one whom Orochimaru wanted to target for his next host body, as Sakon and Kidōmaru followed behind, their two other teammates dealing with those genins who tried to get Sasuke back. The three of you proceeded to jump branch-to-branch to try and arrive sooner.

Kidōmaru suddenly looked over at you, jumping from branch to branch, matching your speed with a confident grin on his face. “Hurry up, will ya? it's very important and make sure not to drop the leader's next host body!“ Kidōmaru liked putting pressure on you for his entertainment.
