• Tama dropped a tachi at Kaze’s feet, and Kaze recognized its ornate design as belonging to Enma.
• Kaze drew Enma and felt its blackish-purple energy spread over the sword and his arm as it rapidly drained his Chakra.

Kaze realized Tama may have traveled to Wano and stolen Enma from the young Kozuki Oden, while the sword’s slash devastated part of the Uchiha compound and drained Chakra from his arm. He took responsibility for the damage and told the Police Force he had caused it while testing a new Ninjutsu.

• Kaze reasoned that Tama’s calm reaction to Enma meant she might know its power and have brought it back after taking it from Kozuki Oden in Wano.
• Enma’s self-directed slash cut through three buildings and three streets, leaving Kaze’s right arm shriveled and nearly without Chakra.
• Kiyoshi and Setsuna arrived with the Police Force, and Kaze told them he had damaged the compound while testing a new Ninjutsu.

• After the compound’s damage was addressed, Kiyoshi agreed to post Kaze’s requested official notice the next day.
