Yeah, it's pretty new. Remember Kabuto explaining the small village of the sound, at the beggining of the Chunnin written test?Originally posted by: Winged Dancer
. Does Orochimaru own a small country too?
I am sure there is a Sound Village, and that he created a new country. Not totally sure if his country is also called sound. I can think of an episode, I'd guess around the preliminaries or so, where Oro explains.
There's a map with all countries we know so far and his, which is rather small. If I have time I will check and try to find it, unless somebody figures that one, first.
As for Itachi not being evil enough, well judging by Sasuke, he may have had a good excuse for doing what he did...not just because he's pure evil... j/k
Yes, he is evil and psycho... And I hope he remains that way.
It's very bizarre to imagine Gaara and Naruto going for ramen at Ichiraku...or going out with the boys:
Gaara: Come on, there's still a tea house open.
Shikamaru: Sheesh, don't you ever get any sleep?
