Kawaki & Himawari Academy Arc
Giving her a chance to experience some freedom from her duties as a princess, Kae was sent to Konohagakure, attending their Ninja Academy. Without her knowledge, this was also done to ensure her safety while a threat of assassination was investigated back in the Land of Bamboo There, she quickly became popular for her beauty and the revelation of her nobility. She found Kawaki interesting, despite him being older than other students and more standoffish. When he tried to befriend her, many confused it with him trying to woo her. Kawaki later caught her acting naturally, and she told him about how people expected her to act. Eiki Fūma, who did have a crush on her and found Kawaki suspicious, attacked him with a summoning scroll, but was knocked out by the summon. Kawaki protected Kae from the summon. Kae asked him who he was, but he brushed it off, just saying he wanted to befriend her, and offered her a romance novel. She later told Batora Kuromori how she was enjoying her time in the Academy.

Later, eager to make friends, Kae invited her class to a tea party. Wanting to make sure everything was perfect, Kae worked on the entire setup herself, hoping it would impress her mother from beyond. When everyone came, people things seemed to move smoothly until Kawaki, believing the cake was poisoned from a strange smell, suddenly trampled across the tables, destroying her cake. Kawaki, unable to reveal that there was an assassination attempt on her, merely excused himself. As Kae suckled at failing in her tea party, Osuka Kamakura began mocking the failure. However, Kawaki and Himawari Uzumaki revealed that what Kawaki smelled was actually mustard in the cake. It was also revealed that Neon Asakusa was forced to do it by Osuka through her drone. As Osuka tried to deny any involvement and pin it all on Osuka, Kae finally dropped her prim demeanour and furiously scolded Osuka for abusing her friend like that. Once calming down, Kae was shocked to see that everyone actually enjoyed this more outspoken side of her. Realising that she didn't have to keep up appearances, she happily agreed to restart the party, with Kawaki replacing the cake with a pile of taikyaki.
