Chūnin Re-Examination Arc
Konohamaru Sarutobi and Mirai Sarutobi were assigned to escort a couple until they had come across the village that had been taken over by Hyōgo. Knowing him and his bandits are holding villagers hostage, Konohamaru surrendered himself in order to find an opportunity to rescue them while Hyōgo poisoned Mirai, who took the chance to return to Konoha, with the latter assuming the poison had killed her.

Having no luck interrogating Konohamaru, Hyōgo ordered his men to torture the couple, until a disguised Boruto Uzumaki posed as a lost woman who stumbled upon the village. Not believing the ruse, Hyōgo questioned who he was until the village was blanketed by fog, which Team 7 used to free the hostages and defeat the bandits. Hyōgo himself was defeated by Konohamaru's assisted Rasengan by Boruto and Sarada Uchiha when he attempted to flee.
