Born in a small village, Guren was shunned for her Crystal Style kekkei genkai, which many viewed tempting war with other nations. When Orochimaru destroyed said village, Guren was left as the only survivor, with Orochimaru taking interest in her rare abilities, recruiting her into the Hidden Sound Village. Ruthless, obsessive, sadistic, and vain, Guren was the perfect as one of Orochimaru's subordinates. Due to this, she often caused friction with other subordinates she deemed even the smallest amount disloyal, particularly Orochimaru's second in command Kabuto Yakushi. Loyal, powerful, healthy, and bearing a kekkei genkai, she was chosen as a potential host for Orochimaru around the same time as Sasuke, though his fight with Hiruzen hastened how quickly he would need a new host, leading him to choose Genyumaru instead. With Sasuke now in the Sound, the chances of Guren being chosen any time in the near future plummeted. With that loss of purpose, she isolated herself with one of the Land of Sound's numerous mountain caves.

Years later, Kabuto was sent to retrieve her to construct a team to capture the Three-Tails. Attacking him at first, she agreed when he claimed that proving herself could shift Sasuke later on the list, allowing her to become Orochimaru's next host. Returning with him, she ordered the hideout's prisoners to kill each other, killing the first sixteen that refused herself, until only five remained: Rinji, Gozu, Kigiri, Kiho, and Nurari. Taking her team, Kabuto, and Yukimaru, the crux of the plan, to a forest on the edge of the Land of Hot Water, Guren gradually came to care for Yukimaru as a younger brother, with both having lived most of their lives alone. En route to their destination, Team Guren was attacked by the Hidden Leaf Village's Team 8 and Kakashi. Setting numerous traps while her team caught up, she captured Hinata in order to stall their pursuers, though the arrival of Team 7 ultimately caused the plan to fail. Retreating her team to their hideout, Kabuto pieced together an accelerated plan, giving Yukimaru a large amount of military pills to awaken the Three-Tails. Losing control of the beast, Guren attempted to restrain it while protecting Yukimaru, using the last of her chakra to barely weaken it enough for it to retreat. Awakening to being nursed back to health by the boy, who himself seemed sick from the chakra pills, Guren jumped back into action when she sensed Naruto approaching. After a short battle, Yukimaru stopped the fight, allowing Naruto to call Guren's loyalty to Orochimaru into question, making her question it herself. After many more fights with the Leaf shinobi and the Three-Tails, the deaths of most of her team, and realizing and being forgiven for killing Yukimaru's mother on one of Orochimaru's mission, Naruto's words finally won in her mind, defecting with Yukimaru and Gozu.
