After Orochimaru had Kabuto fetch Guren, and the two returned to Orochimaru's current hideout, Guren was put in charge of having hundreds of test subjected prisoners battle each other to the death. After the majority of the prisoners kill each other, Guren stops the battle to make them her henchmen. When most of them decided to kill her and escape Orochimaru, Guren, without hesitation, kills them instantly with her crystal jutsu.
