Mei Terumī tested her new Sage Mode and grew closer to Yota, who stayed in Kirigakure to build ties with the village after obtaining Haku’s Ice Release blood and Utakata’s Six-Tails Chakra. Yota returned to Akatsuki’s new base, found Tsunade gambling with Kakuzu and Hidan, and settled in to study medicine, sealing, and human-body research.
- Mei Terumī used Sage Mode to test her strengthened techniques and Chakra, then kissed Yota and teased him about his boldness.
- Yota stayed in Kirigakure for two or three months, obtaining Haku’s blood and Utakata’s Six-Tails Chakra with their cooperation while cultivating ties with Mei Terumī.
- Yota used Kamui to return to the Land of Rice Fields, where he discovered Tsunade, Kakuzu, and Hidan had turned Akatsuki’s new base into a gambling den.
- Yota overturned the gambling table and decided to remain at the base to study Medical Ninjutsu, human-body research, and Sealing Jutsu while training.
- Yota learned quickly, and Tsunade estimated she would have nothing left to teach him within half a year.
