Night Parade · Halloween
Mukai used his new body’s control of wind and lightning to save himself, invent devices, and gain the trust of Sasori, Pakura, and Granny Chiyo. After refining Iron Sand into valuable Chakra Metal, he secured Chiyo’s protection and prepared to lead Pakura’s squad toward Amegakure, while Rasa was summoned by the Third Kazekage.
Mukai allied with Yahiko’s Akatsuki, restored Moon Sake Town, and led the construction of a canal that brought water to the oasis. As his team prepared for the Chunin Exams, Mukai recruited Shisō and intervened when they encountered a noble abusing a child, then revealed to Sasori that Komushi was consuming most of his Chakra.
Mukai led his team through the joint Chunin Ninja Exams while exposing Konoha’s barrier weakness and negotiating with Orochimaru. After Shisō won his match and Mukai strengthened ties with Nonō, he gave Sasori a self-operating, intelligent Crow puppet.
Mukai won the Chunin Ninja Exams, then returned to the Land of Wind and built an oasis settlement, school, and fortress with his allies. As Akatsuki faced growing threats from Hanzō and Rain forces, Mukai’s hidden powers and technology helped expose infiltrators and protect Yahiko’s town.
Mukai subdued Shukaku, helped Sunagakure overthrow the Land of Wind’s daimyo, and strengthened the village’s defenses. As Sunagakure turned toward war with Amegakure, Sasori confronted Hanzo outside Moon Sake Town.
Mukai and his allies killed Hanzo, secured Amegakure, and helped Konoha resist attacks from three great villages while building an alliance with Tsunade. Mukai’s projects brought rain toward the Land of Wind as the war continued, and the stretch ended with Ōnoki preparing to strike Orochimaru and Manda with Dust Release.
Mukai turned the war against Iwagakure by defeating the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, recruiting Kisame, and leading a counterattack that forced Ōnoki to surrender. As the story left the Land of Rice Fields battlefield, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade reunited to face the Third Raikage, Killer B and Gyuki, and Matatabi.
