Hoping to be able to conquer the other shinobi lands in doing so, Hoki, a shinobi of Seimei's village, and his team, the Four Celestials, plotted to revive him by using the chakra of Shukaku, Gaara's Tailed Beast, which Hoki himself successfully used together with sacrificing his own body to do so. Activating the armor and weapon suit Hoki himself had used, Seimei introduced himself, stating he'd been revived as his village's ultimate ninja tool. Easily overpowering Naruto Uzumaki while continuously absorbing Shukaku's chakra out of Gaara, Seimei expressed delight at being able to face the Tailed Beast after Gaara, partially transformed into him, broke out of his cage. However, Gaara forced the transfromation off, with Seimei proceeding to arrogantly mock him and injure him with his swords(Gaara's

Emerging surprised at how much chakra Gaara had left, Seimei attempted to steal what remained, only to have his armor weapon destroyed when Gaara threw a mineral-enhanced spear at him. In utter disbelief, Seimei was then promptly burried alive and crushed to death by Gaara's Giant Sand Burial jutsu.
