With each step, they face various challenges and traps that are meant to stall them from reaching Kurei's headquarters. Meanwhile, Mikagami faces off against Uruha Hokage's Jisho, who possesses the power of Hyomon Ken, or the Frozen Flame.
Jisho is a ruthless and skilled assassin who has been tasked to prevent Mikagami from continuing his journey to save Yanagi by defeating the Uruha.

However, he soon realizes that Jisho's power is not limited to ice manipulation but also allows him to create illusions that can confuse and disorient his opponent.
Despite the overwhelming disadvantage, Mikagami remains focused and uses his intellect to outsmart Jisho. He cleverly uses his sword to reflect the light and reveal Jisho's illusions, allowing him to strike Jisho with a powerful attack that knocks him out of the battle.
The episode ends with Mikagami victorious and reunited with Recca's team, who have managed to navigate their way through Kurei's traps and successfully enter his HQ. However, their ultimate goal remains to rescue Yanagi and defeat Kurei, and the battle is far from over.
