Chapter Summaries

Kakashi’s combined team fought through Moryo’s Ghost Army and reached the temple, where they joined the Iwagakure and Sunagakure teams. After an argument between Douyang and Yan Luoya, Priestess Miroku explained that Yomi Cult ninja could destroy the barrier restraining Moryo.

• Kakashi, Toroi, and Juzo Biwa led twelve ninja through the Ghost Army and into the temple.
• Douyang used his Kokugan to discover that repeated damage drained the terracotta soldiers’ chakra and slowed their repairs.
• The team found Pakura, Yan Luoya, and their teams already at the temple, where Yan Luoya provoked Konoha and Douyang stood up to him.
• Miroku stopped the brewing confrontation and explained that the Yomi Cult had released Moryo and would attack the temple’s barrier.

Miroku revealed that Moryo could be sealed at Demon-Sealing Mountain, so the shinobi planned a decoy while an escort led her there. Douyang privately urged Miroku not to sacrifice herself, leaving her to ask what he wanted.

• Miroku explained that she had to reach Demon-Sealing Mountain to seal Moryo, and the teams agreed to split up, with Kumogakure, Konoha, and Sunagakure escorting her while the others stayed behind.
• Douyang reviewed his improved template progress and new Black Chakra Rods ability as the group prepared for the journey.

Douyang secured Miroku’s cooperation in learning her lineage’s Sealing Jutsu, then joined the teams escorting her toward Demon-Sealing Mountain as Moryo pursued them.

• Miroku placed sealing formulas around the canyon, and the teams attacked Moryo when it entered.
• Miroku warned the teams that Moryo’s roars could affect their minds and turn them into puppets.

The allied shinobi reached Demon-Sealing Mountain, where Miroku explained how Moryo could be sealed permanently. Uchiha Douyang volunteered to help her complete the seal, then revealed his golden eye and told Shisui he only needed to hold Moryo for five minutes.

• Pakura knocked Moryo into the canyon, and Miroku trapped him behind a sealing barrier for at least three days.
• Kakashi led the squads to Demon-Sealing Mountain, where Miroku explained that Moryo's soul and body had to be sealed separately.

Douyang and Shisui joined Miroku to seal Moryo in Demon-Sealing Mountain, concealing their strongest abilities until the monster appeared. Shisui trapped Moryo with Susanoo and Douyang struck it with black cubes summoned through Daikokuten, leaving Miroku poised to act.

• Miroku revealed that the priestess lineage and Moryo were parts of a single whole, then promised to keep Douyang and Shisui’s trump cards secret.

Uchiha Douyang, Shisui, and Miroku fought Moryo inside Demon-Sealing Mountain while Miroku tried to seal it. Outside, Toroi decided to enter the cave despite the plan to leave Moryo's sealing to Douyang and Shisui.

• Miroku began the sealing ritual, but Moryo broke free of Daikokuten's restraint and fought Shisui's Susanoo as the cave began to collapse.
• Douyang pierced Moryo with Black Chakra Rods, weakening it, but Moryo used Soul Possession on Shisui and failed to control him.
• Douyang sent Shisui to protect Miroku, then attacked Moryo with more Black Chakra Rods and used Sukunahikona to strike its eyes.
• Outside Demon-Sealing Mountain, Toroi, Pakura, and Kakashi fought the terracotta puppets while worrying about the battle inside.
• Toroi announced he would take people into the cave, claiming he had a special way to deal with Moryo, and Kakashi reluctantly agreed after Pakura raised no objection.

The priestess sealed Moryo into a bottle, but Toroi arrived intending to take Moryo for Kumogakure and create a new jinchūriki. Shisui and Douyang fought back, and Douyang appeared behind Toroi as Toroi's magnetized shuriken sped toward the priestess.

• The priestess bound Moryo with sealing chains, separated his soul from his body, and sealed his soul inside a black bottle.

• Toroi avoided a direct clash and sent magnetized shuriken toward the helpless priestess; Shisui's thrown short sword failed to stop them.
• Douyang suddenly appeared behind Toroi.

Douyang and Shisui helped Miroku seal Moryo and defeated Toroi and the other Cloud Ninja, then concealed how the Kumogakure team had died.

• The group agreed to say that Moryo had killed Toroi and his men, then escorted Miroku back to the Land of Demons.
• Yan Luoya and Juzo Biwa reacted with hostility toward Douyang and Shisui, and Pakura warned Team Kakashi that Juzo seemed interested in them.
• Douyang cautioned Pakura about trouble in Sunagakure, and she left with her team without answering.

Douyang spent over a month learning the Priestess Clan's Sealing Jutsu from Miroku while their relationship grew intimate, and he agreed to bring Shion to Konoha when she was old enough. After Kakashi's team completed their mission, Douyang finally left the Land of Demons with them, and they reached the Land of Grass.

• Miroku taught Douyang Sealing Jutsu each evening, and their feelings for each other deepened as he quickly mastered the techniques.

• At Kakashi's urging, Douyang said farewell to Miroku and traveled back toward Konoha with the team.
• After three days on the road, Kakashi's team entered the Land of Grass.

Kakashi, Shisui, and Douyang were ambushed on their way home by a joint force of Kirigakure and Iwagakure ninja. Douyang faced Juzo Biwa alone, who revealed that he wanted the squad's bounties, and vanished from Juzo's sight after shrinking with Sukunahikona.

• Kakashi's memories of Obito and Rin resurfaced as the squad traveled through a forest, where Douyang spotted signs of a trap.
• Explosions, earth spikes, and water attacks separated Kakashi, Shisui, Douyang, and their fourth teammate, while their attackers began hunting them.
• Juzo Biwa confronted Douyang and explained that he and Yan Luoya had joined forces, with Juzo pursuing the squad's bounties for money.
• Juzo attacked Douyang with the Great Waterfall Technique, Kubikiribōchō, water arrows, and the Water Prison Technique.
• Douyang used Sukunahikona to shrink and evade the Water Prison, leaving Juzo staring at the empty water and questioning the ability.

• Douyang used Sukunahikona and Black Chakra Rods to defeat Juzo Biwa, then killed him and stored his body in Daikokuten space.

After returning from the Land of Demons, Uchiha Douyang reviewed his mission gains and encountered Shimura Danzō at his clinic. Danzō asked Douyang to examine his troubled body, but Douyang rejected him as the Uchiha Clan’s enemy.

• Kakashi and his teammates rested in the Land of Grass after surviving an ambush by Iwagakure and Kirigakure ninja, then returned safely to Konoha.
• Torifu Akimichi sealed their mission report in the top-secret archives and ordered them to keep the mission and ambush confidential.

• Danzō asked Douyang to examine his body, and Douyang noticed his right arm tremble before refusing to treat the Uchiha Clan’s sworn enemy.

Douyang rejected Danzo’s explanation about Itachi’s death and sought a way to increase his chakra by using the Ryūmyaku. He obtained permission to study the Four Symbols Seal, leaving the Hokage Building’s Scroll of Seals as a tempting target for his Kokugan.

• Douyang refused to treat Danzo and ordered Yui to replace the chair Danzo had used.
• Douyang considered ways to expand his chakra reserves and realized the Ryūmyaku might provide an ideal source of chakra that he could store in the Amber Purifying Pot.

• Torifu Akimichi approved Douyang’s request and led him through the guarded Hokage Building to the secret chamber.
• Torifu Akimichi copied the Four Symbols Seal onto a scroll and gave it to Douyang, who was told to return it in two months.

• Suikazan Fuguki discovered that his Kirigakure group had taken the wrong route and ordered them to reach their destination and rendezvous with Hozuki Mangetsu within three days.

• Douyang agreed to be careful and resolved not to let Uchiha Setsuna carry out his plans.

• Uchiha Douyang recalled that he would not support Uchiha Setsuna’s ambitions or let him destabilize the village and clan.
• Uchiha Kazekawa intercepted Douyang on his way to meet Kurenai Yuhi and demanded that he come see Elder Setsuna.
• Douyang refused and agreed to go only if Kazekawa defeated him in a spar.

• Douyang struck Kazekawa’s wrist, caught his falling katana, and brought the blade to Kazekawa’s neck.

After spending the night with Kurenai Yuhi, Uchiha Douyang was urgently summoned to the Hokage Building, where Torifu Akimichi announced that Kirigakure had attacked the Land of Fire’s eastern border. Douyang suspected that Obito, who had infiltrated Kirigakure, had orchestrated the attack.

• Torifu Akimichi announced that Utakata, Hozuki Mangetsu, and Suikazan Fuguki led Kirigakure’s vanguard, and he ordered Konoha’s forces to intercept them under Uchiha Fugaku’s command.
• Torifu Akimichi gave Team Kakashi a classified mission, and Douyang stocked up on ninja tools and explosive tags before saying goodbye to Kurenai Yuhi.

• Suikazan Fuguki used Samehada to force Hyuga Hiashi to retreat on the eastern border battlefield.

Kakashi and his team reached a heavily guarded Kirigakure supply depot on the former site of the Land of Whirlpools and prepared to destroy it. When Uchiha Douyang realized the enemy numbers made Kakashi’s plan likely to fail, he decided to intervene, and Shisui’s battle drew the Mist ninja’s attention.

• At the border, Uchiha Fugaku used Susanoo to confront Utakata’s Six-Tails transformation, reassuring Hyuga Hiashi that Konoha could hold the line.
• Kakashi, Uchiha Douyang, Guy, and Shisui arrived at the island and found sealing formulas concealing the number of defenders.
• Kakashi ordered the others to draw enemy fire while he destroyed the depot, but Douyang urged him to leave the task to a stronger teammate; Kakashi insisted he could do it.
• After nightfall, Douyang killed two Mist sentries and discovered that the island had between two and three hundred defenders.
• When Shisui’s fighting caused a commotion and Mist ninja searched near Douyang, he threw three explosive-tag kunai, setting off a series of blasts.

Kakashi destroyed the Mist Ninja supply depot but was surrounded and left near death. Douyang, who had secretly remained on the island, rescued him as Shisui and Guy returned to help, and Guy carried Kakashi away while Douyang and Shisui faced the pursuing Mist Ninja.

• Douyang and Guy attacked the Mist Ninja to draw their forces away while Kakashi waited for his chance to strike.
• After Shisui and Guy withdrew, Kakashi charged the supply depot with Lightning Release and destroyed it, while Shisui and Guy fought off their pursuers.
• Shisui and Guy regrouped and realized Douyang had stayed on the island, so they returned to help Kakashi.
• Surrounded and gravely wounded after blowing up the depot, Kakashi lost consciousness as a Mist Ninja prepared to kill him.
• Douyang emerged from hiding and saved Kakashi, then Shisui and Guy arrived, and Guy carried Kakashi away while Douyang and Shisui stayed behind.

Douyang and Shisui fought more than a hundred Mist Ninja after Guy escaped with Kakashi, and Shisui unleashed Susanoo: Tsukumo to break the enemy’s assault. They defeated many Mist Ninja, but Shisui’s ocular power was spent and Sora Minazuki prepared to strike as Douyang helped Shisui leave.
