Chapter Summaries

After Team Seven encountered Mist Ninja on their escort mission, Kakashi warned Konoha and Shinichi Hyuga that Hinata’s unsealed Byakugan might be a target. Shinichi declined to send reinforcements, and the team later faced Juzo Biwa on the road to the Land of Waves, where Kakashi prepared to fight.

• After Mist Ninja attacked Team Seven, Kakashi sent letters to Minato and Shinichi Hyuga warning of possible danger to Hinata’s Byakugan.
• Minato strengthened checkpoint controls and questioned Hiashi about the Hyuga Clan’s decision to delay Hinata’s Caged Bird Seal, while Shinichi refused to send reinforcements.

• The next morning, Naruto and the others escorted Jonaz through the fog when Juzo Biwa’s sword struck a tree in their path.
• Juzo Biwa demanded that Team Seven leave Jonaz behind, but Kakashi refused, revealed his Sharingan, and took a combat stance.

Juzo Biwa attacked Team Seven, but Kakashi used his Ninja Dogs and Chidori to grievously wound him. Juzo escaped into the fog, while Shinichi Hyuga watched from Konoha and decided Juzo was too valuable to let die.

• Juzo Biwa charged Kakashi and Team Seven, whose Genin froze under his killing intent until Kakashi urged them to protect Jonaz and retreat.
• Kakashi dodged Juzo's Kubikiribōchō strikes and used Lightning Release: Lightning Snake, then summoned eight Ninja Dogs to restrain Juzo.
• Kakashi struck Juzo through the chest with Chidori, but Juzo broke free, punched Kakashi, and escaped into the fog after declaring he would return.
• Naruto praised Kakashi, Sasuke noted his Sharingan, and Hinata wondered how Kakashi compared to her brother.
• In Konoha, Shinichi Hyuga watched the encounter through the Tenseigan and decided Juzo still had value to him.

Juzo Biwa, gravely wounded after fighting Kakashi Hatake, was cornered by Zabuza Momochi and Haku, who sought Kubikiribōchō. As Zabuza and Haku gained the upper hand, Shinichi Hyuga appeared and transported Juzo Biwa away from the battlefield.

• Juzo Biwa collapsed in the forest as his injuries worsened, then recognized Zabuza Momochi and a masked Kirigakure Anbu as his pursuers.

• As Zabuza's Water Dragon rushed toward him, Shinichi Hyuga appeared, transported Juzo Biwa to a distant clearing, and greeted him.

• Shinichi warned Zabuza and Haku, and they retreated into the fog.
• Shinichi used the Tenseigan to confirm that Haku was a boy.

Zabuza Momochi and Haku withdrew from the fight, while Shinichi Hyuga recruited Juzo Biwa to investigate whether Mizukage Yagura was being controlled. Shinichi also planned to make the Mist Ninja learn that the Hyuga Main Family’s Byakugan had appeared in the Land of Waves.

• Zabuza Momochi judged Shinichi Hyuga too dangerous to challenge and left with Haku, deciding to pursue a mission for the village instead.
• Shinichi Hyuga told Juzo Biwa that Hinata was his younger sister and that Naruto and Sasuke were the sons of Konoha’s Fourth Hokage and Fugaku Uchiha, so Juzo was fortunate to have failed his mission.
• Juzo Biwa agreed to serve Shinichi Hyuga, who tasked him with returning to Kirigakure and checking whether Yagura was acting of his own will or was being controlled.
• Shinichi Hyuga gave Juzo Biwa a Reverse Summoning Scroll that could summon his Shadow Clone in an emergency and warned him that whoever might be controlling Yagura was dangerous.
• Shinichi Hyuga told Juzo Biwa to spread word that the Hyuga Main Family’s Byakugan had appeared in the Land of Waves.

Shinichi Hyuga used his Tenseigan-powered Flying Thunder God to send Juzo Biwa to the Land of Water as part of a plan to draw out Kirigakure and protect Hinata.
