Yubi proved himself as a battlefield medic and fighter while raiding Amegakure with Sasori and Arai, then used his inventions and hospital reforms to earn Sunagakure’s attention. The arc left the village investing in his medical knowledge as the war became a contest of endurance.
Yubi survived a Root assassination attempt, then joined Sasori and Arai on a campaign against Konoha forces in the Land of Grass, where he awakened and used Blood Manipulation. After returning to Sunagakure, he passed the Third Kazekage’s combat assessment, while the village prepared him and Sasori to lead in a future war.
Yubi and Sasori served on Sunagakure’s front against Iwagakure, where Yubi’s battlefield medicine and Military Music helped turn the war in Sunagakure’s favor. After the ceasefire, they resumed their separate plans, while Yubi was assigned to lead rookie Genin against Kirigakure and recognized the order as a test of obedience.
Yubi returned from the coastal mission and used his new position to pursue medical reform and influence Sunagakure’s politics. While Sasori helped engineer a purge of officials, Yubi developed medicines and left Arai to decide whether he could be trusted.
Yubi built Sunagakure’s medicine industry, arranged the Third Kazekage’s death, and helped push the village into war with Konoha. As Sunagakure’s invasion advanced, Yubi and Sasori prepared an ambush for Minato’s approaching vanguard.
Yubi and Sunagakure turned the war against Konoha through guerrilla tactics, medical support, and attacks on key targets. After capturing Uchiha and taking their Sharingan, Yubi failed to reproduce the eyes and began considering other ways to strengthen himself and Sunagakure.
Yubi defeated the Third Raikage, became the Fourth Kazekage, and used Sunagakure’s medical resources to strengthen the village and reshape its position in the war. As the other great villages shifted their forces, Yubi turned his attention to Kirigakure and was summoned to see the ailing Daimyo of the Land of Wind.
Yubi strengthened Sunagakure through migration, construction, medicine, and carefully negotiated ceasefires while preparing to take the Land of Rain. As he planned the coming campaign, he also set out to meet Yahiko and face Madara and Black Zetsu directly.
Yubi infiltrated the Akatsuki, earned Yahiko and Nagato’s trust while covertly advancing Sunagakure’s interests, and arranged support for Akatsuki against Amegakure. After discovering Obito’s plans, Yubi killed him and took Black Zetsu prisoner, leaving the future of the shinobi world open to his intervention.
Yubi defeated Hanzō, brought the Land of Rain under Sunagakure’s control, and strengthened the village through new alliances, research, and plans for economic development. After investigating the Chimera Technique and gaining the Queen of Roran’s bloodline, he turned to rebuilding the Land of Rain and transforming the Land of Wind.
Yubi secured foreign partnerships to fund the Land of Wind’s transformation, rebuilt the Land of Rain, and recontained Shukaku while considering Gaara as a possible Jinchūriki. At Konoha’s exchange meet, Sunagakure’s fighters demonstrated their growing strength, and Yubi left after warning Konoha’s leaders about the Uchiha Clan.
Yubi strengthened Sunagakure through trade, medical advances, and exchanges with other villages, while Black Zetsu secretly recruited Orochimaru against him. He began a relationship with Pakura and married her, then turned his attention to raising Sunagakure’s young generation as Deidara’s outburst hinted at trouble ahead.
