San Francisco.
Inside the Sound Ninja Base, Sunil Bakshi arrived with a group of subordinates. There were ten men, two to a crate.
Five crates in all, each marked with the 084 symbol.
"Mr. Kabuto, because of Cloud Village and Sunagakure, allocating 084s has become more difficult. This time, we've brought five items that meet the standard."

At this point, Sunil Bakshi asked, "Does the Sound Ninja side not intend to publicly collect 084 Objects like Sunagakure and Cloud Village?"
Hearing the question, Yakushi Kabuto smiled and shook his head. "We can't expose ourselves on
