Xuandou received Ebizo, a Sunagakure adviser, who brought him the bodies of five former Kage as a gift. The gift strengthened Xuandou’s defenses against the coming Ōtsutsuki threat, but Shamon’s inclusion left him wondering what Ebizo intended.

  • Xuandou arranged guards for Yunyou and Mirai and ordered them to stay inside until he dealt with their enemies.
  • Ebizo arrived in Azure Tide Port and told Xuandou that his visit was his own idea, not an order from either Kazekage.
