Ten years ago, as the guardian of the Box of Ultimate Bliss, Mui, tried opening it once with Muku's chakra, in the hopes of asking the box to grant them the wish of reviving Kusagakure to its former glory. However, Muku didn't have enough chakra and was sucked into the box instead, leaving Mui grief-stricken. As a result, he sought a way to reopen the box to ask for his son back, unbeknownst to his superiors.

Abilities
Mui had shown great skill with taijutsu, able to defeat multiple prisoners barehanded without losing his composure, as well as easily defeat a weakened Naruto with a series of swift punches. Even after suffering a mortal wound through his chest by his son, Mui managed to get back up on his feet and apply a powerful seal. Mui also has knowledge of pressure points, knocking Naruto unconscious with few strikes.

Nature Transformation
Mui had demonstrated great proficiency with Fire Release. The most prominent of his fire techniques was one which can bind a prisoner and prevent them from moulding chakra while at the same time absorbs their chakra after he applies a formula to them, it will also set them aflame should they try to escape. He also had an advanced form of this which he can use on larger targets. By altering this technique, he can surround his arm with fire to use as a blade which can use to engulf those he stabbed in fire.

Plot Overview
Mui makes his début, informing the new set of prisoners about the Hōzukijō. When Naruto Uzumaki voiced his innocence, Mui forcefully branded him with the Fire Release: Heavenly Prison technique telling him that proving his innocence was of of no concern to him as his village had deemed him a criminal and it was his duty to contain him. Mui later has Maroi kidnap Naruto to be used in his experiments but it is revealed to be a clone. The real Naruto is later captured however, and placed in solitary confinement. After meeting with other members of the Flower Group he discusses the fact that they had Konohagakure's jinchūriki in their possession and that he could be used to open the Box of Ultimate Bliss as well as Kazan who had been plaguing them for some time. After much efforts and quelling several rows that broke out in the prison subsequently, Mui was finally able to seemingly kill Kazan on a cliff-side and get the real Naruto into their lab. Siphoning off his chakra and feeding it to the box, they are finally able to awaken the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

Believing Mui to want to ask the box to return Kusagakure to its former glory, the other members look on with joy and anticipation in their voice only to hear Mui tearfully ask to box to return his son, Muku to him who was sealed into the box the last time it was opened. As they try to stop him, Kazan, who is revealed to be alive, stopped them. When he son emerged from the box, Mui wept with joy before his son ran his hand through his chest seriously wounding him before turning into Satori. It was through Naruto's words that gave Mui the strength to get up and attack Satori with the Fire Release: Great Fire Heavenly Prison technique which suppressed it enough for his son to revert to his human form. As his son looked at him, Mui is attacked once more by Muku and his body is sent flying to the mural that he built for his wife where he dies.
