Miya grew stronger through fights, hunting, and a breakthrough in his chakra, then captured an Iwagakure spy and bargained with Hiruzen for early graduation. After passing the exam and becoming Orochimaru’s disciple, Miya began testing his strength against his new teacher.
Miya completed dangerous solo missions, negotiated a hefty payment to enter the Chunin Ninja Exams, and gained access to Ryūchi Cave. He left Susu with the White Snake Sage for training as the exams approached.
Miya entered the Chunin Ninja Exams alone, then slaughtered and overwhelmed rival teams in the Forest of Death before battling Orochimaru until Hiruzen ordered the exam stopped. After recovering from his devastating Overload Mode, Miya escaped Danzō’s attempt to recruit him into Root and returned to Ryūchi Cave, where he reunited with Susu and planned a technique to make her happy.
Miya mastered Sage Mode, returned to Konoha, and strengthened his ties with Rin and Kurenai before leaving to obtain the Star and a swordsmith. After absorbing the Star’s energy and commissioning a blade in Takumigakure, he headed to an Underground Exchange base to earn the remaining payment.
Miya hunted missing-nin, armed himself for war, and joined Konoha’s campaign against Sunagakure. As the Sand forces launched an all-out attack, Miya returned to the Gobi Desert and unleashed a blast that overwhelmed Chiyo, forcing Ebizo to flee with her.
Miya's battle left Chiyo and One-Tail Shukaku dead, while Sunagakure debated further war and other forces prepared operations against Konoha. Konoha welcomed Miya home, Might Duy fought the Mist Ninja, and the account returned to Miya's clash with Chiyo.
Miya defeated Sunagakure’s forces and disrupted their front line, while the conflict spread to Iwagakure and the Seven Mist Ninja. The story left Miya recovering in the hospital as Might Duy and Konoha’s teams faced new dangers.
