Background / History

Arrival and contact with Konoha

Qian Yu acquires Uncle as a B-rank character card: a disciple of a great mage who has mastered thousands of chi spells. Uncle is deployed with Chixing after Qian Yu realizes he needs powerful agents to act in his place. 2 3

Uncle and Chixing intervene in Minato Namikaze's battle against the Shadowkhan in Konoha Forest. While Chixing holds the attackers back, Uncle prepares a spell; afterward, he explains the threat of Shendu and the Twelve Talismans to Minato. 3 4

He later identifies the poisonous fog surrounding Minato as a curse formed through black magic. Using Qi Magic and a glowing pufferfish artifact, he disperses the fog and senses the curses left on Minato by Jack's attack. 6

Konoha's talisman search

Uncle tells Minato that the Hidden Organization is an ancient group of demons responsible for many major evils, though he claims not to know its ultimate objective. 7

After the Ox Talisman is seized, Uncle explains that it grants far more than raw strength, enhancing the user's physique and resistance to impact. He also warns that the Shadow Kingdom is an endless realm of darkness whose ordinary visitors may become Shadow Ninja. 10

Sarutobi Hiruzen formally accepts Uncle's cooperation in locating the scattered Talismans. Uncle makes clear that he does not seek ownership of them; his priority is simply preventing the Shadowkhan from collecting them. 12

With Anbu assistance, Uncle develops a locating spell for the Horse Talisman and leads Orochimaru and Chixing toward the Land of Rain. 13 In Amegakure, his spell detects that two Horse Talismans are present in the country after the Shadowkhan take the first one. 18

Conflicts over the Talismans

During the struggle for the Horse Talisman, Uncle uses Qi Magic against Beizi of the Twelve Guardian Ninja and later blocks the Shadowkhan from escaping through shadows. 20 21

After returning to Konoha, Uncle begins tracking the Pig Talisman despite political pressure from the Fire Daimyo, who demands that Konoha surrender both the Talismans and the so-called “Swindling Duo”—Uncle and Chixing. 25

At Yugakure, Uncle supports Chixing against Rasa and Yashamaru. His Fire Magic distracts Rasa long enough for Chixing to land a devastating magma strike; Uncle explicitly tells Chixing not to kill him. 27

Monkey Talisman incident and Shendu's return

Uncle recognizes Zhi Qiang as a former protector of Bear Ridge who has joined the Hidden Organization. During their confrontation over the Monkey Talisman, Zhi Qiang transforms Uncle into an old mountain goat, leaving him unable to chant spells or use his artifacts properly. 34 35

Still transformed, Uncle and Jiraiya survive Zhi Qiang's Tailed Beast Bomb because Uncle's Qi Magic Shield absorbs the blast. He then relies on Chixing to gather materials for a spell that can restore their human forms. 36

After Shendu resurfaces as a direct threat to Konoha, Uncle devotes himself to crafting a spell capable of subduing him. He also identifies Shendu's use of the Sheep Talisman to force Sarutobi Hiruzen into astral projection and states that a counterspell can restore him. 47 49

Appearance

Uncle is a frail elderly man whose unassuming build contrasts with his extensive magical knowledge and combat utility. 2 3

• White shirt and yellow vest. 3
• Dark-blue trousers and brown leather shoes. 3
• Small round glasses. 3
• Carries a satchel containing herbs, bottles, jars, and magical materials. 4
• Was temporarily transformed into an old mountain goat by the Monkey Talisman. 35 36

Personality

Uncle is dramatic, excitable, and highly superstitious about demonic or corrupting influences. He reacts immediately to perceived threats—mistaking Orochimaru for a Snake Demon and judging others by whether he senses “dark chi.” 6 12

Despite his theatrical manner, he is practical and disciplined. He prioritizes preparation, repeatedly instructing Chixing to buy time for spellcasting or to stop chatting when a Talisman must be recovered. 3 13 He also favors containment over needless killing, as shown when he stops Chixing from finishing the injured Rasa. 27

Abilities & Skills

Qi Magic

Uncle is a disciple of a great mage who has mastered thousands of chi spells. His magic functions independently of chakra, making it difficult for shinobi such as Orochimaru to analyze through conventional chakra sensing. 2 13

• Disperses cursed poisonous fog through Qi Magic. 6
• Detects dark energy, curses, and demonic influences. 6 12
• Uses green magical energy to interfere with the Shadowkhan's shadow-travel escape method. 21
• Casts petrification magic, though he moderates its strength against ordinary humans. 21
• Uses Fire Magic as a distraction in combat. 27
• Creates defensive shields powerful enough to protect himself and Jiraiya from a Tailed Beast Bomb. 36
• Requires time, materials, and the ability to chant; his goat transformation prevents him from casting normally. 35 36 47

Talisman Tracking and Lore

Uncle is Konoha's principal authority on the Twelve Talismans, Shendu, and the Shadow Kingdom. 4 10

• Explains that the Twelve Talismans embody Shendu's divine powers and were separated by a Saint Warrior's sealing spell. 4
• Identifies the Ox Talisman's physical enhancement properties. 10
• Creates a locating device and specialized spells to identify a Talisman's position on a map. 7 13
• Detects multiple Talismans within the same country. 18
• Treats preventing Shadowkhan possession as more important than deciding which faction holds a recovered Talisman. 12

Tactical Support

Uncle generally operates behind Chixing or allied shinobi rather than relying on physical strength. 3 20

• Directs Chixing during combat and uses the resulting chaos to prepare spells or create openings. 3 27
• Uses magical attacks to disrupt opponents rather than overpower them directly. 20 27
• Can assess supernatural threats that ordinary chakra-based senses fail to identify. 6 21

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Dried pufferfish — Magical focus used to dispel curses and poisonous fog. 6
• Dried gecko — Magical artifact used in Qi Magic, including the spell that blocks Shadowkhan shadow travel. 21
• Herbs, bottles, and jars — Spell components carried in his satchel. 4
• Talisman-locating materials — Includes a horseshoe medium used to identify the Horse Talisman's location. 13

Relationships

• Minato Namikaze — First major Konoha contact; Uncle provides Minato with information on Shendu, the Talismans, and the Hidden Organization. 4 7
• Sarutobi Hiruzen — Konoha ally who accepts Uncle's cooperation in the Talisman search. 12
• Orochimaru — Temporary mission ally. Uncle initially suspects him of being a demon, while Orochimaru becomes fascinated by Qi Magic and Chixing's origins. 12 13 20
• Jiraiya — Ally during the Monkey Talisman conflict; Uncle's shield protects them both from Zhi Qiang's Tailed Beast Bomb. 34 36
• Zhi Qiang — Former acquaintance whom Uncle recognizes as a once-renowned protector of Bear Ridge; they become enemies after Zhi Qiang joins the Hidden Organization. 34 35
• Shendu — Principal demonic adversary whose Talismans Uncle seeks to keep away from the Shadowkhan. 4 12 47
