Later, when Magire Kakuremino became sadden when Sumire turned down, Nue influenced him for a short time. In the following days, Nue's rampage escalated throughout the village.

When Sumire began temporally working at the Konohagakure Water Purification Plant, she had Nue influence a worker, to intentionally get injured, until the Seventh Hokage intervened.

Upon realising that Boruto could see Nue influencing Negative Chakra, Sumire strategically had Nue target individuals in area's of the village away from him.

Upon influencing Komame , Sumire's classmates confronted her in the act, leading to Sumire escaping and Nue being attacked by Boruto's explosive kunai.

Later, realising that she was found out, Sumire left the hospital to begin the endgame of her plan.

She was intercepted by Sai Yamanaka 's unit, who initially managed to subdue her. She managed to escape by unleashing Nue, who's tangible form began to unleash a rampage.

Kakashi Hatake made the first strike, severing the creature's tail, only for it to grow dozens of smaller tails in its place to steal nearby people's chakra.

Kakashi than organised the shinobi to form a barricade to keep the Nue contained. Meanwhile, Boruto, who was confronting Sumire, began to have a strange reaction to the events, causing his right eye to act erratically.

This drew the attention of the Nue, which teleported above Boruto. Wanting to complete the Nue's development, Sumire offered herself to the creature, which swallowed her whole before disappearing into a void.

As Boruto and Mitsuki followed through the void into the pocket dimension , they quickly resumed battling Nue. While they were able to restrain it, Sumire quickly came to its defence.

Boruto continued to reach out to her, insisting that violence was not what she wanted unlike her father. Desperately clinging to her father's request, she ordered Nue to take her chakra and finish the plan.

Nue instead ignored Sumire's order and instead snuggled against her. While Sumire was confused by this event, Boruto deduced that having been nurtured by Sumire all these years, it came to view her as its parent.

Insisting that Sumire doesn't want it to hurt people any more than she does herself, Sumire finally let go of her anger.

Nue then aided its surrogate parent and her classmates into escaping the dimension, causing it to be left behind from falling debris.

Despite this, the strong connection it developed with Sumire allowed her to retain a piece of its essence, letting Nue live on sealed in Sumire's left palm.

The miniaturised creature quickly jumped on Sumire's shoulder and aided its master, using its chakra to strengthen Boruto's fishing pole.

During the practical test of the graduation exams, as Sumire battled against Konohamaru, she summoned Nue to attack him.

After a short scuffle, he repelled the creature with his Lightning Release. Later, Nue helped free the captured students from the teachers by sneaking in while the Sumire and her allies distracted them.

Sumire summoned Nue to save the team with its chakra. Some time later, Nue was summoned to help Namida Suzumeno grow stronger and develop a new technique.

The tiny summoning charged around acting as a target for Namida to strike and dodge. Later, the training apparently helped Nue as during a mission to protect sacred antiques, Nue morphed into a larger form, easily subduing a foe and getting praise from Sumire.

Nue was summoned to aid Boruto, knocking the man off the cliff an into the river. On their way, they were attacked by Momo and Sasami, who took the opportunity to test their device based cursed seals.

They quickly defeated the genin and infected Namida and Wasabi with cursed seals. Nue fought off the attackers and carried Sumire away.

It stood guard on her until she woke up. Once Sumire was back on her feet, Nue began tracking their allies through their scent. Before Sumire could talk to them, Nue attacked.

After managing to rip off Suigetsu's water arm, he decided to fight seriously and quickly knocked them both out. Later, as Sumire struggled to save her team from Momo , she reluctantly summoned Nue to fight.

Even as the duo teamed up against the him, Momo's cursed seal proved too much. Concluding that only Nue's full power would be enough to defeat Momo, Namida and Wasabi offered their chakra to let Nue transform again into its larger form.

Once transformed, Nue proved able to compete against Momo. With help from Sumire, it was able to knock him out and destroy his cursed seal collar.

While Nue was ready to finish him off by absorbing his chakra, Sumire talked it out from doing so. Nue's continued defiance of Sumire's commands lead her to decide joining the Scientific Ninja Weapons Team , in hopes of finding a way to better synergise with Nue.

Some time later, after Sumire's reassignment was finalised, Nue and Sumire were given a farewell party by their friends.

The yokai is also thought to be nocturnal as most of its sightings happen at night. Its name written in kanji translates to night and bird.

The nue is thought to have started appearing in the late Heian period. The visual appearance may be a combination of the animals in the Sexagenary cycle , with a northeast Tiger , a southeast Snake , a southwest Monkey , and a northwest Qian dog and wild boar.

Originally, the nue were stated to be a bird that resembles the green pheasant , [5] but their precise identity is unknown. At this early time, although, it had a different semantic meaning.

It referred to a bird known as White's thrush. The monster in the Heike Monogatari , in the end, was merely "something that cries with the voice of a nue, its true nature unknown", and was not given a name.

But nowadays, this particularly famous monster is usually identified as a "nue". They are a regular feature of the Kiri-noh fifth performance of a noh.

Among other things the nue-odori nue-dance and the mochi-maki mochi -scattering are performed. At Osaka Harbor , the Nue is used as a motif in its emblem design.

From the legend of Nuezuka, it was selected for its relation to Osaka bay. Subsequently, the emperor fell into illness, and neither medicine nor prayers had any effect.

A close associate remembered Minamoto no Yoshiie using an arrow to put a stop to the mystery case of some bird's cry, and he gave the order to a master of arrows, Minamoto no Yorimasa , to slay the monster.

Instantly Ino Hayata seized it and finished it off. There are several accounts of what was done to the nue's corpse. According to some legends, like the Heike Monogatari , as the people in Kyoto were fearful of the curse of the nue, they put its corpse in a boat and floated it down the Kamo River.

After the boat floated down the Yodo River and temporarily drifted upon the shore of Higashinari County , Osaka , it then floated into the sea and washed up on the shore between Ashiya River and Sumiyoshi River.

It is said that the people in Ashiya courteously gave the corpse a burial service, and built a commemorating mound over its tomb, the Nuezuka.

According to the Ashiwake bune , a geography book from the Edo period , a nue drifted down and washed ashore on the Yodo River, and when the villagers, fearful of a curse, notified the head priest of Boon-ji about it, it was courteously mourned over, buried, and had a mound built for it.

According to the Genpei Seisuiki and the Kandenjihitsu the nue was said to be buried at the Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto Prefecture, and it is said that a curse resulted from digging it up in the Edo period.

Another legend relates the spirit of the dead nue turning into a horse, which was raised by Yorimasa and named Kinoshita. As this horse was a good horse, it was stolen by Taira no Munemori , so Yorimasa raised an army against the Taira family.

As this resulted in Yorimasa's ruin, it is said that the nue had taken its revenge in this way.
