Kawaki & Himawari Academy Arc
Kande attended the Academy opening ceremony as part of a new class. His classroom was put under the care of new teacher Hana Kaka. His class included many children of famous people, including the daughter of an acting duo, the daughter of the Seventh Hokage, and Kae Yukiwari, the princess of the Land of Bamboo. The class also included Kawaki, a noticeably older student.

Later, Kande was placed on a practice team with Konashi Nerikiri and Mimi Inuzuka as part of a series of competitions to improve teamwork skills. While making lunch, Kande used his Lighting Release to start a fire for cooking.

When the class had to put on a play about the Sannin, Kande was cast as Gamabunta. After Eiki's struggle with Kawaki damaged the set, Kande joined in the repair efforts.

The day of the festival, Kande helped his classmates set up the stands and decorations. When the festival received a terrorist threat, he stayed inside. Later, following Hana being hospitalised from the terrorist attack, Kande joined his class in welcoming back their teacher. To make up for the festival being cancelled, Hana arranged for the class to undergo survival training on an uninhabited island. However, Kikuchiyo was injured and their food supplies vanished, stoking fear about a rumour of killer missing-nin settling on the island. Everyone formed groups to scavenge food, and later to look for Neon's damaged drone. By night, everyone enjoyed their food.

Soon after, they learned from Kawaki and Himawari that Kae was killed by Hana, who was actually a hired assassin. As everyone was horrified to learn the truth about their kind and beloved teacher, Himawari noted that Hana's actions as an assassin seemed too excessive, including how she took Kae after seemingly killing her. Realising that Kae is likely still alive, the class worked together to find and save her. Through knowledge of the island from an old article, they realised Kae was most likely somewhere on the west coast of the island. Following a trail of crumbs left by Kae, they found her hidden in a cave. Before they could move forward, Kawaki told them to stay behind as they were just students against an elite assassin. Kawaki also revealed himself to really be a full-fledge shinobi, with the mission to protect Kae. Accepting the seriousness of the situation, the students stayed behind. Afterwards however, Eiki noted they could still be helpful in another way.
