[Source]. One of the few inheritors of Shikotsumyaku within the Kaguya clan, and one of the strongest in both its manifestation and overall skill, Kimimaro was viewed as a threat by his clan's patriarch and caged, only being released temporarily when his warlike clan went on a raid. However, when his clan chose the Hidden Mist Village as their target, Kimimaro was the only one to understand their strength, fleeing from battle while his clan got slaughtered. Wandering for years without purpose, he eventually met Orochimaru, whose charisma and drive he found enthralling. Taming Jugo, leading the Sound Five, and bringing numerous small clans into the Hidden Sound Village, Kimimaro fully dedicated himself to his new purpose; being Orochimaru's next host. However, despite Kabuto's best efforts, Kimimaro came down with an untreatable disease between assassinating the Fourth Kazekage and the Sound's attack on the Hidden Leaf, being bedridden and in immense pain at most times of the day. When Kabuto passes on new that three of the Sound Four had failed their mission to bring Orochimaru's new host to the Hidden Sound, Kimimaro decided how he wished to die, keeping Sasuke's barrel safe until he could unseal it, making space for him to enter the Sound while Kimimaro fought off his last pursuer, though two more would allow Naruto to get away. After completely exhausting his opponents, his sickness finally caught up to him, killing him just before delivering the killing blow. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was resurrected by Kabuto alongside Chiyo and Hanzo, where he slaughtered numerous samurai before being confronted by one of Naruto's shadow clones. Despite his opponent now having almost the full power of Kurama at his fingertips, Kimimaro was still able to fight him for the full day and night between Naruto entering the fight and returning to the afterlife following Kabuto's defeat. Variant: Sick Kimimaro Shortly before Orochimaru's invasion of the Hidden Leaf Village, Kimimaro came down with an uncurbable disease. This variant counts as CR 13 (10,000 XP). A sick Kimimaro's maximum hit points are halved, and he gains the following feature: Sickness. When Kimimaro spends chakra, he takes an equal amount of psychic damage.
