Outside Kumogakure.
After her conversation with Yōya last time, Yugito had not come looking for him again.
After all, a conflict had just broken out among their higher-ups.
And Yugito had been grievously wounded by Yōya.
It would have been somewhat inappropriate for the two of them to meet again.

Last time, it had been some of the strongest people in the entire Ninja World. Who was it this time?
Kumogakure's barrier unit suddenly detected
