Shimura Kentei arranged for Hozuki Suirou and Mizurong to fuse with the Three-Tails and Six-Tails respectively so the beasts could create independent clones. Suirou successfully made a Black Tortoise-shaped Isobu clone but gained a snake tail, while Mizurong collapsed during her transformation, leaving Kentei urgently calling for a wild boar’s kidney.

• Shimura Kentei arrived in Kirigakure wearing Hozuki Suirou’s forehead protector, and Suirou announced that she had made him her disciple.

• Mizurong collapsed during the process, and Kentei urgently ordered the Anbu to bring over the wild boar because he needed its left kidney.

After returning to Kirigakure, Shimura Kentei examined Hozuki Suirou’s transformed Snake Tail and tried to find a way to restore her legs. He could not change her back yet, but he created a chakra circulation circuit for her new body and told her to cultivate with it.

After learning Terumi So had come to arrange a marriage alliance with Mizurong’s clan, Kentei left to consider how to stir up trouble and earn more money.

• Shimura Kentei slapped Terumi So after Terumi So confronted him with killing intent, and Kirigakure Anbu carried the injured man to the hospital.

After Hozuki Suirou completed Half-Chakrafication, Kentei gave her a Nature Energy cultivation method and prepared to return to Konoha.

• The Third Mizukage approved Kentei's beauty clinic and appointed him nominal dean of Kirigakure's upcoming Ninja-Samurai Academy, while requiring him to charge ninja clan members triple fees.

He descended into the Senju Secret Archives with Mito and opened Hashirama’s coffin, leaving the reason for his inspection still to be confirmed.
