While Evesdroping Team 7 and Kokuri he finds out that, the hospital Kokuri donated the stolen Money happened to be the same hospital her sister was in.
Finding out the truth, he decided to not say anything, Benga found in an instant that he was lying and landed a bunch of punches and sent him to the solitary the highest guarded place in Houzuki Castle. With a swollen face and teary eyes, Kamata finds no regret on his decision, as he proudly covered up the Man who saved his sister.
Later, Konoha decided to send his reinforcement to receive Kokuri, Lord Mujo told Chief Benga that he will be going to Konoha soon, But alas, the Lord Mujo who was an Asthama patience got stroke again and dwelling in greed Benga took his Asthama inhaler. And soon after that, Chief Benga declared himself the New Lord of Houzuki Castle and decided to send Kokuri to Solitary, where half of the Mujina members are waiting to kill Kokuri.
With the current situation Team, 7 decided to break out, which only seems to be the fair option left for them. Kedama overheard the conversation and to protect the Mission Mitsuki assaulted Kedama. Kedama then revealed his past of how he was framed and failure of breaking out to Mistuski and told him to rest assured, he will not say a soul to any.
Sarada opened the tank of water to let Kokuri use it to break the seal of Houzoki but soon assaulted buy Cheif Benga when she was running away, she fell into a deep cave while fighting Benga. Without Sarada, the message was now unavailable for Team 7, as no one was now there to blink the lights from the tower. When Benga was going through Sakura stash to erase the evidence of him and his connections to Mujina gang Member Tsukiyo. He found about Boruto, Mitsuki and Kokuri and of course, the breakout. He decided to go back to their cell and check on them and punched Boruto who was sleeping on his bed turns out to be the shadow clone. Now the news of prison break went out and the other prisoners were all happy to hear the news and tease them about this.
Benga asked Kedama about them and told him he will give him the special treatment if he did so. But Kedama rejected his offer and said he was in deep sleep. Desperate Benga left the cell but didn’t notice the hole between the bed.
Benga nulled the water which was supposed to be in the tank for Kokuri and summoned a two head dog to find and kill them. Soon Sarada regained her unconsciousness and noticed the rising water, and decided to make a route to get out of here as soon as possible meanwhile Mitsuki knocked the beasts by some concretes for a while and ran toward the tank.

Benga now left with no option other than free the mastermind Tsukiyo himself. But as soon as he released his Houzuki mark He knocked Benga with his jutsu and went to kill Kokuri. Team 7 and Kokuri are now outside the Castle but got assaulted by Tsukiyo.

- The two headed dogs are known as Orthros as in Greek Mythology, and brother of Cerberus, the three headed dog that guarded the underworld.
