After Team 7 successfully brings Hotaru back to the Tsuchigumo village, they are met with an unwelcoming reception from the villagers. However, the Tsuchigumo Chief approaches them, seemingly glad to see Hotaru's return. As Team 7 prepares to leave, the chief escorts Hotaru to a room, claiming she needs rest. Unfortunately, the chief locks her inside the room along with the Magaki Group, a band of rogue ninjas who seek the Tsuchigumo clan's forbidden jutsu.
Hotaru manages to escape from the clutches of the ninja bandits who were hot on her trail. Concerned for her safety, Naruto Uzumaki returns to the village and confronts the chief, seeking answers. The chief confesses that the village has yet to initiate a search for Hotaru. Determined to find their friend, Naruto and his team take it upon themselves to embark on a search mission.
Eventually, Team 7 intercepts the pursuing ninja bandits and successfully rescues Hotaru from their clutches. As they prepare to depart, the chief witnesses this act of bravery and assures them that the villagers will now accept Hotaru without the burden of the forbidden jutsu hanging over them.
