Great Sea Battle of Kirigakure Arc
While travelling in his personal boat with his apprentice, Ikada, Kajiki chanced upon a dead ship piloted by a group effort from Kiri and Konoha-nin. They were attacked by the Funato clan after they saved the citizens of Dotō Island, who were also on the ship. Kajiki inspected the ship's engine. Unable repair it onsite, Kajiki instead towed the ship back to his port for proper repairs. While saving everyone for free, he did however insist on be paid for repairs to the ship, which Kagura Karatachi agreed to. Midway through, he learned that Ikada failed to stock up on a crucial piece for the engine. Despite his hesitance to send Ikada to retrieve it, Boruto Uzumaki agreed to go with him, which Kajiki conceded to.

After Ikada and Boruto returned, repair continued to go smoothly, with Kajiki complimenting Ikada's improved craftsmanship. Before the day was over, Kajiki heard that Ikada left early for the first time. Later that night, with the ship's repairs nearly done, the Funato attacked. Denki and Iwabee protected Kajiki and the ship. By morning, the attack had been repelled. Later, Kajiki grew concerned by Ikada's sudden disappearance, and informed Boruto of it when he went to say goodbye to Ikada.

Sometime later, Kajiki grew more concerned while he and the other shipbuilders watched Araumi Funato's declaration of war on the entire Land of Water and Kirigakure, with Ikada leading the forces.
