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.
I have to get strong enough
to surpass him,
،عليّ أن أصبح أقوى ما يكفي لأتخطّاه
Ich muss stärker werden
und ihn übertrumpfen,
Pero si no me hago más fuerte que él,
no podré seguir adelante.
Pero si no me hago más fuerte que él,
no podré seguir adelante.
È solo che se non divento 
almeno forte a sufficienza da batterlo,
Só preciso ficar mais
forte para superá-lo...
Пока я не превзойду его по силе…
