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. The remaining henchmen, Rinji, Gozu, Kigiri, Kihō and Nurari, instantly decided to follow her without question. After they joined her, Guren left the members at strange ruins as she escorted Yūkimaru the Spirit Lake. Not long after, members Rinji and Gozu discover that Kakashi and Team Kurenai following them.
