## New Era [ ]

### Jūgo Arc [ ]

Main article: Jūgo Arc Sasami and Momo confronted and prevented Team 15 from requesting backup from Konoha . They managed to immobilise Namida Suzumeno and Wasabi Izuno by using the opportunity to test their device based cursed seals while Sumire Kakei reluctantly escaped with Nue . They later disguised themselves as researchers from the Land of Rivers and brought Namida and Wasabi, both infected with the cursed seal, back to the village, informing Team 7 that they only found the two members of Team 15 unconscious but did not find Sumire.

After the Land of Rivers researchers took custody of the incapacitated Jūgo and the entire village turned against the Konoha-nin, she and her brother stood before Jūgo with the head researcher preparing to experiment on him. Later, after delighting in watching Wasabi Izuno and Namida Suzumeno's suffering from their cursed seals, Momo and Sasami were sent to search for the Konoha shinobi wandering in the forest. There, they noticed " Sumire " running by. The siblings quickly pursued her. During the chase, Sasami realised it was a diversion from how their target was deliberately staying just ahead of them. Momo then fell back to the base, while she went on ahead and encountered Sarada and Karin .

Once transformed, she quickly began making sport of her opponents, treating them as prey. Karin's sensory prowess and Sarada's Sharingan let them follow her movements enough to defend themselves. However, as Sarada's chakra continued to drain from overusing her dōjutsu, Sasami managed to land a powerful blow on her. Karin was able to subdue Sasami with her chakra chains long enough for Sarada to take some of Karin's chakra, letting her deliver a devastating punch that knocked Sasami out and destroyed her collar device.
