Chapter 527 follows the Cloud shinobi Darui, Samui, and Atsui against the revived Gold and Silver Brothers, whose sealing tools trap two of the trio and lay a lethal verbal trap on Darui by turning his own most-spoken word against him.
Summary
Darui leads Samui and Atsui into combat with the resurrected Gold and Silver Brothers. Away from the fighting, the Fourth Raikage and Tsunade trade what they know about the origins of Kinkaku and Ginkaku. The brothers' treasured tools soon turn the tide, and both Samui and Atsui are drawn into the Benihisago gourd.
Darui himself falls victim to the Shichiseiken, which slices and curses his word soul before the Benihisago records it. The trap works by his own speech: should he ever utter the single word he has spoken most often across his lifetime, the gourd will seal him away as well.
Key Events
The three Cloud ninja engage the reanimated brothers. The Raikage and Tsunade recount the pair's history. Samui and Atsui are sealed inside the Benihisago. The Shichiseiken curses Darui's word soul, binding his fate to whatever word he has used most in his life.
