Tahm received Itachi’s intelligence identifying the Xuan Yuan Corps as the mercenaries pursuing the Fourth Raikage and locating their likely ambush point. The story then followed the Corps preparing to intercept him and Tsunade and Shizune arriving at a town, where they found its casino closed for the night.

• Itachi gave Tahm a detailed report linking the Xuan Yuan Corps to the mission to pursue the Fourth Raikage and pinpointing a town along his route home.

• Tsunade punched a tree in frustration after discovering the town’s casinos were closed, while Shizune hoped they would stay closed the next day.

Tsunade and Shizune arrived at the inn and tried to take the room occupied by Hinata and Tahm, but Tahm refused Tsunade’s offer of money. The clash ended with Tahm showing off a fortune that dwarfed her own.

• Tsunade learned that the inn had no other vacant rooms and broke its granite counter in frustration.

• Tahm spat out carts’ worth of banknotes and declared that no one had more money than him.

Tahm turned a late-night dispute with Tsunade into a mahjong game, using Hinata’s Tenseigan to help win Tsunade’s money and pile up her debts. Tsunade tried to leave without paying, but Tahm revealed he knew her identity and would collect when she returned to Konoha.

• After Gold Release failed to settle the dispute, Tahm invited Tsunade to gamble, and she put fifty million on the table.
• Tahm introduced mahjong and recruited Hinata and Shizune to play, while Hinata used her Tenseigan to help him cheat.
• The four played through the night, and Tsunade lost her money and wrote IOUs totaling more than ten billion.
• Tsunade and Shizune planned to run off without paying, but Tahm identified Tsunade and said he would collect the debt in Konoha.
• Tahm warned Tsunade that using the Hundred Healings Technique to disguise herself as a little girl would not help her evade the debt.

Amayi told the Fourth Raikage that Tahm, whom he had met at an inn, could save Karui from an adult Explosive Bug. At the inn, Tsunade mistook Tahm’s reputation as the Medical God for her own and refused the Raikage’s request for help before Tahm clarified that everyone was talking about him.

• Amayi told the Fourth Raikage that he could not remove the Explosive Bug from Karui, but said Tahm might be able to save him.
• Amayi recalled how Tsunade’s late-night mahjong game sparked a noisy confrontation at the inn, where Tahm’s strength frightened the assembled guests.
• A debt-collection boss recognized Tahm as Konoha’s Medical God and left after Tahm asked him to give Tsunade more time to pay.
• Tsunade assumed the Medical God title belonged to her and decided Tahm was a fraud, while the debt collectors warned her not to run away.
• The Fourth Raikage arrived seeking the Medical God’s help, but Tsunade refused before Tahm told her that the Raikage was talking about him.

The Fourth Raikage asked Tahm to treat Karui, who had been infected by Explosive Bugs, but Tahm used the request to pressure him over Hinata’s kidnapping and then revealed that the Raikage was infected too. Just as Tahm was about to name his price, Tsunade offered to treat them instead, prompting the Raikage to say they would “make do” with her.

• Raikage A asked Tahm to treat Karui, and Tahm challenged him over Kumogakure’s kidnapping of Hinata four years earlier.
• Raikage A apologized and pleaded to save Karui, moving Hinata and Tsunade with his promise to protect his comrade.
• Tahm refused to treat Karui and warned Raikage A that his delay could cost Amayi time to collect both their bodies.
• Raikage A discovered an Explosive Bug swelling on his chest and asked Tahm what it would take to treat them.
• Tsunade interrupted Tahm’s negotiations and offered to treat Raikage A and Karui, and Raikage A said they would make do with her.

Tahm challenged Tsunade to a medical contest, wagering two billion ryo against her Monstrous Strength Fist. His attempt to cure Karui in one second failed, but he realized why the Explosive Bug resisted his ability and insisted he could still treat him.

• Tahm exposed Tsunade's hemophobia, and Tsunade said Shizune would perform the operation while Shizune stood up to Raikage A's distrust.
• Tahm proposed treating Karui while Tsunade treated Raikage A, wagering a one-billion-ryo IOU and one billion in cash against Tsunade's Monstrous Strength Fist.
• At the abandoned stone house, Tsunade and Tahm examined the critically ill Karui, whose adult Explosive Bug had grown to basketball size.
• Tahm used Mikael's Crucible, but the Explosive Bug remained on Karui, and Tsunade mocked him as Raikage A grew unhappy.
• Tahm realized the grown Explosive Bug was a living creature rather than an abnormal status his ability could dispel, then told Tsunade he could still cure Karui.

Tahm used a Black-Iron Cleaver to decapitate Karui, then restored her with Starcall and removed the Explosive Bugs. Karui survived unharmed, while Raikage A and the others watched in shock.

• Tahm warned Raikage A not to interfere during Karui's treatment and secured his promise.
• Tahm took out his Black-Iron Cleaver and severed Karui's head, prompting Raikage A to attack him with Lightning Release: Lariat.

• Tahm explained that Karui could remain conscious briefly after decapitation and used Starcall to regrow her body.
• Karui returned to life without the Explosive Bugs, and Tahm covered Hinata's eyes while telling Karui to put on her clothes.

Tahm organized a strike against the Xuan Yuan Corps after Hinata detected their position, recruiting Tsunade and Jiraiya with a large payment. Jiraiya arrived in a pleasure-house robe and unexpectedly reunited with Tsunade, realizing Tahm had set him up.

• Karui recovered from the shock of her decapitation and went to retrieve her clothes while Hinata sensed the Xuan Yuan Corps nearby.

• Tahm brought Jiraiya to Tsunade, and Jiraiya recognized her and accused Tahm of setting him up.

• Tsunade rejected Jiraiya’s advances and punched him away after Tahm brought him to her.
• The Xuan Yuan Corps’ leader learned that the Raikage and his allies had left the stone house, then decided to abandon the mission.

• Tahm introduced Hinata as Mount Myoboku’s third-generation inheritor of Senjutsu and ordered the group not to let the Xuan Yuan Corps escape.

Tahm, Hinata, Tsunade, A, and Jiraiya stopped the Xuan Yuan Corps’ attempted escape and defeated all five members. The battered corps ended up before Karui, Amayi, and Shizune, who wondered why they had been summoned.

• Big Red ordered the Xuan Yuan Corps to flee and used Explosive Bugs, but Hinata repelled the contaminated air while Tsunade crushed Big Red’s Earth Release defense.
• A held Little Green, and Jiraiya fought Little Purple, while Tahm used Alpha Strike and a Rasengan against Little Blue before devouring him and forcing him back into physical form.
• Little Yellow turned invisible and tried to escape, but Hinata tracked his movements through changes in gravity and struck him with Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm.
• Hinata trapped Little Yellow in her binding field and spun him like a satellite before slamming him into the ground.
• The five defeated members of the Xuan Yuan Corps lay half-paralyzed before Karui, Amayi, and Shizune, who wondered why they had been called.

After the Xuan Yuan Corps was defeated, Tahm warned Raikage A that the Akatsuki planned to collect the tailed beasts and secured his promise to help later. Tahm said he was not ready to fight the Akatsuki yet, but expected a decisive battle in a few years.

• Tahm asked Raikage A to repay Karui’s treatment with a promise to help him in the future.

• Tahm told Jiraiya that he was only troubling the Akatsuki for now and expected a decisive battle in a few years.
• Tsunade asked how Tahm knew so much, and he claimed to be the famous prophet Tahm trained by the Great Toad Sage.

Tahm captured the Xuan Yuan Corps and demanded that its leader change the organization’s name, then used the Bewitching Demon Technique to break his resolve. The leader finally agreed to rename the Corps.

• Big Red and the other members of the Xuan Yuan Corps woke up bound, and Tahm said he would take them to Konoha for the bounty and interrogation about their Explosive Bugs.
• Tahm revealed that he had attacked them because he considered the name Xuan Yuan arrogant and demanded that the leader issue an announcement changing it.
• The leader refused, declared that the Corps and its name would endure through future generations, and challenged Tahm to torture him.
• After Tsunade asked that Hinata be spared from any torture, Tahm used the Bewitching Demon Technique on the leader, making him experience intense affection for Tahm followed by disgust.
• Tahm repeatedly used the technique, and the leader eventually begged him to stop and agreed to change the Corps’ name.

Tahm forced the leader of the Xuan Yuan Corps to agree to rename the mercenary organization, but rejected the leader’s attempt to rename it Youxiong. After everyone proposed unsuitable names, Tahm made the leader choose between the Magical Girl Corps and the Calabash Brothers, and he reluctantly chose the latter.

• Tahm’s genjutsu left the leader of the Xuan Yuan Corps emotionally shaken, and he agreed to issue a name-change announcement.
• The leader retrieved the Corps’ identity card and clan keepsake and explained how he would notify the underground world and his clansmen.
• Tahm discovered that the leader had chosen Youxiong as the new name, crushed the announcement, and demanded another name.
• Tsunade, Shizune, Jiraiya, and Hinata suggested names including the God of Gambling Corps, Anti-Gambling Corps, Anti-Porn Squad, and Meow Ninja Corps.
• Tahm offered the names Magical Girl Corps and Calabash Brothers, and the leader reluctantly chose Calabash Brothers.
