Mitsuki, having re-activated his Sage Mode, defeated a group of Claw Grime when he is approached by Konohamaru, carrying Matsuri's Thornbulb. Mitsuki informs Konohamaru that Araya has taken Ryū's Thornbulb and is headed to Shinki's tree, while carrying the fallen Yodo. Konohamaru expresses regret of what happened to Yodo, but states that this is the level of resolve needed to deal with the Human God Trees, and Yodo would be happy to hear her sacrifice led to them acquiring the Thornbulbs. Mitsuki notes that he spotted Jura flying towards the direction where Konohamaru was with Matsuri, while ignoring Mitsuki's group and having no interest in re-acquiring Ryū's Thornbulb.
