Kakashi pursues Kinoe, who refuses to surrender Yukimi. Remembering Orochimaru’s past aid to her clan, Yukimi returns home to halt the conflict between the two ANBU. Upon arrival, she witnesses her kinsmen being killed by Orochimaru, who then chases and captures her. Kakashi and Kinoe soon arrive at the hideout, following smoke trails that drive Orochimaru away. As Yukimi nearly dissipates into smoke, Kinoe uses Wood Style to encase it. The smoke trails of the clan members gather around this artificial encasement, transforming it into a real tree from which the genuine Yukimi emerges. The three decide to walk their own paths, with Kakashi informing Kinoe that they neither saw Orochimaru nor discovered the Iburi Clan.
