Utsutsu dreams of hell

Rui and shichigen part ways with hachiro and then fire a flare to call the others for assistance. As shaizou and utsutsu go to their aid, they are also surrounded by the rain. Utsutsu uses her dreaming reality technique, but one of the rain throws a smoke bomb, neutralizing the effect of her illusions. Shaizou then uses his eyes to spread her illusions, consuming the rain with fear, but also effecting himself. In a flashback, the young utsutsu spends half of her time in a room dominated by a huge painted mandala depicting hell, which her father explains is to develop her ninja dreaming reality technique. On the day she must master the technique or die, her father burns himself to death before her, leaving her with a horrifying memory forever. Back in the present, hachiro encounters hadaebou attempting to infiltrate the murakumo during the chaos. Shaizou fires a cannon balls at the murakumo with little effect, and the second one is fired back at them by kujaku tsuibamu using his inverted halberd of time. Meanwhile hachiro permits hadaebou to pass to rescue tadanaga, however joujin appears and reminds hadaebou that tenkai's orders were to eliminate tadanaga if he could not be saved.
