During the era when the Toyotomi Clan ruled Japan, there lived a young woman known as Princess Yo, who could heal any wound or disease with her magical powers.
Gyuki's rebellion against the Nura Clan shook the foundations of the clan. But ironically, Gyuki's whole story is not one of betrayal, but of pain and loyalty.
When Gyuki crosses swords with Rikuo, he sees for himself the young Master's true power. Gyuki explains his decision to rebel and insists that he will no longer turn against the clan.
The battle between the Nura Clan and the Shikoku yokai is slowly going in favor of Rikuo and his friends. But strangely enough, Tamazuki is still beaming with confidence.
Rikuo completes his training and returns to Ukiyoe Town with the Tono yokai. Seeing the progress his grandson has made, Nurarihyon allows Rikuo to go to Kyoto.
Nurarihyon is suddenly attacked by Muchi, but unfortunately, that is not the extent of the Nura Clan's problems. A young man by the name of Inugamigyobu-Tanuki Tamazuki reveals himself to Rikuo.
