Shikadai, Inojin, and Cho-Cho's Team 10 is assigned to a joint mission with Shinki, Yodo, and Araya from the Hidden Sand. The mission is to find and retrieve an Otsutsuki Puppet that Shikadai had once fought. Team 10 arrives in the Land of Wind and decide to stop at a certain shop. On their way, a man passes them who piques Shikadai's interest. Upon arriving, a chilling scene confronts the trio.
And let me remind you, that
ودعني أذكّركم
Schreibt euch hinter die Löffel,
dass der einzige Chunin unter uns Shikadai ist!
Y que sepan que es el único
chuunin entre nosotros.
Y que sepáis que es
el único chuunin entre nosotros.
Mi sembra superfluo dirlo, ma tra noi 
Shikadai è l'unico ad essere un chunin!
E permita-me lembrar que o Shikadai
é o único Chunin entre nós.
