They believed that it was stolen by the humans of a nearby village and began ruining their fields in order to find it.

During the story
Inuyasha and his friends arrived at the village during their search for Naraku. The villagers thought that Inuyasha was a dog god and asked him to save their fields that were being ravaged by the monkeys. Inuyasha reluctantly agreed to help villagers. Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippō soon encountered a giant monkey in the forest. It soon transformed back into the three little monkeys after Inuyasha threw a single punch at it. They whispered with each other about what to do after their disguise was broken. They decided t admit defeat and Gon presented Inuyasha with a sacred stone as a peace offering. It wall all a trap the get Inuyasha to hold the stone while it transformers into a giant boulder that would be stuck to his hand. They mocked Inuyasha for foolishly accepting their trick, but he hit them and claimed that he still had one free to clobber them with. The three monkeys run away. Kagome and Shippō chase after them in order to break the spell while Inuyasha was forced to wait due to his boulder. The two of them soon catch up to them and Kagome offers each of them a lollipop. She asks why they are ravaging the villagers fields, but they explaining that they are only doing it to look for the stone of the Monkey God. They knew to search in the village because each of them received message in a dream from the Monkey God. Gon's dream was that the place the Monkey God was in was dark and damp. They suddenly heard a large sound that was coming closer. Kagome asked them to undo their spell on Inuyasha, but the monkeys claimed they couldn't because they forgot how. Inuyasha suddenly appeared and hit each of them again after he heard that they forget how to undo the spell. They claimed that the Monkey God could undo the spell. They all returned to the village in order to find the stone. The villagers had no idea where the stone was, but decided to help the monkeys find it in order to protect their village.

Everyone searched the village, but were unable to find them. Miroku and Sango returned to the village at sunset. Miroku said that he could use his powers to find the stone, but bluffed that his powers would only work in the morning as a way for him and the others in order to be treated well by the villagers during the night. Everyone except the three monkeys knew or suspected that he was lying. Kagome soon saw an aura that was emanating from a bowl of pickled vegetables that was being carried by one of the villagers. The three monkeys instantly recognized the aura as belonging to the Monkey God. Inuyasha and the monkeys were about to tear through the fields to find the stone, but Kagome used her "sit" command to stop them. She had the villagers take her to where they pickle their vegetables. They saw a stone on top of the pickling tub. Kagome and the monkeys could see sacred aura surrounding the stone. A villager said he found it just outside of the village. The monkeys thought that villagers were lying, but then suddenly remembered that they left after they got distracted from picking up acorns and forgot about it. The Monkey God emerged from the stone and was reunited with his three servants. The villagers promised to build new shrine for the Monkey God in exchange for his protection.
