i dont have the manga with me to see but there is a map that kabuto shows early on displaying all the different 'hidden' countries and it includes sound. now since sound is new they had to take their 'land' from somewhere right?

ok so now we saw naruto and sasuke standing over statues, of the 1st hokage and another opposing ninja who i am guessing was kage of the land that previously owned the territory known as sound. what country was that? are they at the border that naruto is not allowed to cross? thats what i thought since they have different ninja facing each other.


About kabuto. so there was a battle at some pass in which the leaf killed a bunch of enemy ninja's and seem to have won. anbu medical specialist took kabuto when he was young (4 or so i am guessing, i am sure someone can actually figure it out) and raised him. now kabuto was already acting as a spy for orochi and he also has some strange bloodlimit that was hinted at during the chuunin exam, but which we didnt see at all during the fight with the rasengan.

Also, after the prelims, kabuto talks with orochi and for some reason orochi says that if you want to defeat me you will have to kill sasuke. now as far as i have seen kabuto is loyal to orochi. why would orochi talk about fighting him (hence the mention of being equal to kakashi) and talk about him killing sasuke? not sure what this board ever decided and cant find a thread answering this so any thoughts please.
