Aniki received an order from an unspecified individual to kidnap Osuka Kamakura for ransom. Oppo and Teru also kidnapped Himawari Uzumaki along her, and when Aniki checked on them, he beat them for deviating from the plan, before deciding to sell Himawari to Naruto's enemies, and left. When he returned, he chastised Teru and Oppo for sharing so much information about him, blowing up a crate with Fire Release, and forbidding them for revealing anything further.

At night, Oppo and Teru fell asleep, while Aniki kept drinking. Himawari and Osuka freed themselves, and Himawari attacked him. He resisted her attacks and began choking her. Kawaki arrived in time to save her, and resisted Aniki's Fire Release, defeating him. As he was arrested, he cursed at the superior who put him up to it.
