The episode begins with Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo on the search for the next shard of the Shikon Jewel. As they continue on their journey, they come across a village that appears to be under attack by a giant toad-like demon.
This demon, named Tsukumo Toad, is in fact a Lord demon, which means he has the ability to control other demons. In this particular case, Tsukumo Toad has convinced a group of smaller toad demons to attack the village and steal their crops.
As Inuyasha and the group investigate the situation, they learn more about Tsukumo Toad's powers and how he is able to control the smaller demons. They also meet a young girl from the village named Nazuna, who has a personal vendetta against Tsukumo Toad for destroying her family's crops.
In the midst of the chaos, Kagome is able to sense the presence of a shard of the Shikon Jewel within Tsukumo Toad's body. This prompts Inuyasha and the group to come up with a plan to defeat him and extract the shard.
However, Tsukumo Toad proves to be a difficult opponent. Not only is he able to control the smaller toad demons, but he also has multiple heads, which allows him to see in all directions and make it difficult for Inuyasha and the group to approach him.
Despite this, Inuyasha and Kagome come up with a plan to distract Tsukumo Toad while Shippo and Nazuna try to extract the shard from his body. They are successful in removing the shard, but this angers Tsukumo Toad and he launches a final attack on the group.
In a tense battle, Inuyasha is able to defeat Tsukumo Toad and save the village. The group also successfully obtains another shard of the Shikon Jewel, bringing them one step closer to completing it.
Overall, the episode is full of action and suspense as Inuyasha and the group face off against Tsukumo Toad and his army of smaller demons. It also explores the theme of revenge, with Nazuna seeking retribution against Tsukumo Toad for his actions.
