In the manga, this was made all the more tragic because Minato had just relayed the information that his Sekirei had moved Chiho from Higa's hospital to MBI's hospital, thus freeing Uzume from Higa's power. Similarly, in the manga, she sacrificed herself in order to save Minato.

In the anime, she sacrificed herself to save Musubi from one of Higa's Sekirei. Near the end of the Second Stage, Uzume leaves Izumo Inn, realizing she can no longer be a friend with Minato's party. She develops a friendly rivalry with Kazehana, whom Uzume refers to as 'Nee-san'. Higa, who is holding Chiho hostage, manipulates her into using her powers to eliminate other Sekirei. Uzume has a large collection of costumes at the Inn, which were worn to entertain Chiho. The 'fight' was eventually broken up by Miya. This turned out to be a bad move, since Musubi was taught to immediately challenge another Sekirei as soon as she encounters one, resulting in Musubi attacking first before Uzume managed to escape and finds Minato. Uzume shows deep love towards Chiho.Musubi first encounters her after sharing the same bath with the other Sekirei, with Uzume seeing Musubi's Serkirei crest and revealing to her that she is also a Sekirei. Uzume's Ashikabi is a young girl named Chiho Hidaka (日高千穂, Hidaka Chiho?, Voiced by: Sayori Ishizuka (Japanese), Kara Edwards (English)), who is confined to a hospital due to an unknown illness.
