Talk:Otogakure

How Dosu, Zaku and Kin were able to participate in chunnin exam? I mean their vilage is not really a village. And didn't third hokage knew that they were allies of Orochimaru because of their headband protector?Giotis (talk) 18:26, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * At that point the sound was considered a village, and no one knew about its connection to Orochimaru.--Deva 27 (talk) 18:35, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

fact checking
Where was it stated that this ain't no actual village but just a complex of labs, bases and hideouts? Because unless I'm mistaken, it was said that Oro convinced Daiymo of Land of Sound (then Land of Rice Fields) to allow him establish Otogakure. Why would he need to convince someone in order to make SECRET underground structures? Not to mention Orochimaru had at one point over 1000 Otogakure Jounin at his disposal, where do the uniforms, forehead protectors and all come from if it ain't no village?--Elve Talk Page 19:47, February 22, 2015 (UTC)
