• The Incense Statue shuddered as the faith entered it, then cracked from its top downward.

With this new safeguard in place, he prepared to leave and pursue missions, strengthen Hidden Spirit Village, and find the remaining members of the Eighteen Arhats.

• The stone statue shed its outer layer and revealed a jade statue resembling Guy, which informed him it could teleport him to its location without a distance limit by using faith power.

• Guy reviewed his Indestructible Vajra Technique proficiency and Monk Points, then considered changing gifted youths' fates or saving entire clans to earn more points.
• Guy resolved to travel the Shinobi World to find new allies and the four youths still needed to complete the Eighteen Arhats, and planned to leave once the children could train by themselves.

• Guy decided his real destination was the Tsuchigumo Clan, whose members and inherited forbidden object interested him.

Guy traveled to Fūraibō to seek the Tsuchigumo Clan’s forbidden Fury Release, hoping his powerful body and teleportation could let him use it beyond its normal limits. He met clan chief En no Gyōja and revealed his interest, leaving the old man wary.

• Guy reviewed Fury Release’s devastating power and its history as a mutually destructive technique that the Tsuchigumo Clan could only charge for about eighteen hundred seconds.

• Guy met En no Gyōja and bluntly said he had come for Fury Release.
• En no Gyōja studied Guy and remarked that he was a straightforward man.

• En no Gyōja claimed the forbidden artifact had been entrusted to Hiruzen Sarutobi and told Guy to seek Fury Release in Konoha.
• Guy revealed that he knew the artifact was inside Hotaru, En no Gyōja’s granddaughter, and pointed toward her hiding place.
• En no Gyōja used the Word Binding Technique to launch a slash at Guy, who shattered it with a punch.
• En no Gyōja wrote the characters for “Flame” and “Explode,” blasting apart the house as he and the clansmen retreated and surrounded the site.
• Guy walked out of the flames unharmed and told the Tsuchigumo clansmen he would have to defeat them before they could talk.

Guy defeated the Tsuchigumo Clan without killing anyone and persuaded En no Gyōja to consider moving the clan to Spirit Mountain by offering real protection and support. En no Gyōja agreed to inspect Spirit Mountain, while Guy proposed removing the Fury Release object sealed inside Hotaru.

• Guy carried Hotaru to En no Gyōja after defeating the Tsuchigumo Clan, leaving its people alive but unable to fight.
• Guy demanded that the clan join Spirit Mountain and argued that Konoha's alliance offered little protection against stronger forces.

• Guy asked to remove the Fury Release object inside Hotaru, and En no Gyōja worried whether he could do so safely.

Guy removed the Fury Release Device embedded in Hotaru’s back and healed the wound. Hotaru was left free of the device, while Guy kept the artifact for further investigation.

• Guy reassured Hotaru that she could protect the Tsuchigumo Clan without the device, and En no Gyōja silently gave her permission to follow him.
• Hotaru lay facedown as Guy examined the device and learned from her how the Fury Release Forbidden Technique stored and released senjutsu chakra.
• Guy used a Chakra Scalpel to remove the device, carefully sealing and reconnecting Hotaru’s blood vessels.
• Guy placed the removed device on an iron tray and used the Mystical Palm Technique to heal Hotaru’s wound.

Guy removed the Fury Release Device from Hotaru and restored her scarred back, then offered the Tsuchigumo Clan a place at Spirit Mountain. He left without earning Monk Points, suspecting rewards required sincere help and willing allegiance, and headed toward his next destination with the device.

• Guy finished repairing Hotaru's back, sealed the Fury Release Device in a scroll, and woke her.
