One of the jonin of the Hidden Leaf Village, Saburo was once a genin under the command of Orochimaru alongside Anko and Machiya. Too loyal to Hiruzen be trusted with the specifics of Orochimaru's experimentation, unlike his teammates, he was completely blindsided by the revelation of his master's inhumane acts. Being knocked unconscious, his memories of the discovery were sealed and he was forcefully converted into a sleeper agent, allowing Orochimaru to modify his memories at will and control him directly if need be. When Orochimaru's human experimentation was discovered by the Third Hokage, forcing the snakeman to flee, Saburo felt the same pain. Becoming a jonin on his own, Saburo was eventually given the choice to lead a team of genin. Influenced by Orochimaru, he chose Kabuto, Yoroi, and Misumi, three genin loyal to his old master. Under his tutelage, he dubbed them the Helmet—Armor—Sword Trio, considering them skilled enough to act on their own, with Kabuto becoming their unofficial leader, attending to his own work as a jonin. Despite pulling almost all of his agents out of the Leaf during the Sound and Sand's attack surrounding their Chunin Exam, including Saburo's own team, he was left inactivated, even cheering on his generation's Ino-Shika-Cho while they crushed a team of Sound chunin. Three years later, following Orochimaru's death, he teamed up with seven other jonin to hunt down the Akatsuki, though ultimately his team found nothing. |
