Sai spends his day off strolling around the village and drawing when he encounters three children he initially had trouble interacting with, noting that two of them remind him of Naruto and Sakura. This causes Sai to remember the events of his first mission as a Team Kakashi member and how he changed because of it, hoping to someday share the bond that his teammates share with Sasuke. Eventually reaching a nearby village that was indirectly affected by Pain's attack, Sai uses the doors of a destroyed house to paint a mural of himself, Naruto, and Sakura holding hands with Sasuke.
