Not only that, but also the two guys that tagged with Kabuto during the Chuunin Exam (masked dude with chakra sucking palms that got owned by Sasuke's Shishin Rendan)

and if we keep in mind the flashbacks of Orochimaru aquiring his previous body, there are several dozens of prisioners, its safe to assume Orochimaru and Kabuto or the Sound 5 aren't feeding/guarding those people, there must at least be a supporting village/farm for supply purposes.
