Chapter Summaries

Uchiha Liuyun attacked the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki at a destroyed port, nearly killing Han before Mū King intervened. After trading blows with Rōshi and Han, Liuyun charged back into the fight against the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

• Uchiha Liuyun appeared before Han and Rōshi, and his strange eyes left both Jinchuriki disoriented.
• Liuyun attacked Han, but Mū King blocked his Chakra Blade with a golden horn and woke Han before he could be killed.

• Liuyun recovered from Han's blow and charged at the Five-Tails Jinchuriki again.

Liuyun fought Han and Rōshi, surviving their coordinated attacks before bringing out Samehada to drain Rōshi’s Tailed Beast Chakra. He followed up with a Sage Technique that engulfed both Jinchuriki in a massive sphere of water.

• Liuyun and Han clashed in a fierce exchange of monstrous strength until Han pulled away, badly injured.

• Samehada drained Rōshi’s Chakra and swallowed three of his four tails before Liuyun unleashed Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave, enveloping both Jinchuriki.

Liuyun overwhelmed Rōshi and Han inside a vast sphere of Sage-infused water, where its resistance and Chakra interference left the Jinchuriki unable to fight effectively. Han unleashed the complete Five-Tails, but Liuyun stabilized the sphere, while Stone Ninja gathered outside and prepared to surround him once the battle ended.

After Uchiha Liuyun captured the Four-Tails and Five-Tails from Hidden Stone Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen tried to contain the fallout and contact him through Kushina. The Five Great Nations declared Liuyun the first SSS-Rank Rogue Ninja and issued a hunt order, while Hidden Waterfall Village panicked after learning he was in the Land of Waterfall.

• A Stone Ninja envoy threatened war unless Konoha explained Liuyun's attack and returned the Four-Tails and Five-Tails.

• Hidden Waterfall Village learned Liuyun was in the Land of Waterfall, sealed the village, and increased security around the Seven-Tails.

Liuyun absorbed the Four-Tails and Five-Tails’ Chakra, avoided attacking Hidden Waterfall Village, and entered Hidden Rain Village to meet Hanzō. He left Hanzō with instructions to find Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan, while Hanzō warned that Liuyun’s recklessness would lead to his early death.

• Liuyun extracted the Four-Tails and Five-Tails’ Chakra, left concealed jutsu inside them, and sent their unconscious Jinchuriki toward the Hidden Sound Village with a summoned python.

• Hanzō watched Liuyun disappear into the rain and concluded that his exposed nature would lead him to die young.

Liuyun met Orochimaru near Konoha's camp and discussed the Five Great Nations' hunt for him and the power behind his growing threat. He then explained the Tailed Beasts' origins, leaving Orochimaru shocked by Liuyun's apparent goal of becoming a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

• Liuyun met Orochimaru in the Land of Rivers and described the battles he had fought against the Hidden Stone Village.

Liuyun visited the ruins of Whirlpool Village and vowed to avenge the Uzumaki Clan by attacking Hidden Mist Village. He found and took control of the Three-Tails, leaving Hidden Mist Village shaken as the beast broke free.

• Liuyun asked Orochimaru about the Wind-Fire Battlefield, then left to wander while Orochimaru planned to remain until the war ended.
• A year later, Liuyun searched the ruins of Whirlpool Village for Uzumaki survivors, found none, and vowed to seek revenge on Hidden Mist Village.
• Three months later, Liuyun entered Hidden Mist Village and used his Sharingan to force a Mist ninja to reveal the Three-Tails' location.
• Liuyun learned the Six-Tails had already been sealed into a Jinchuriki, then slaughtered the guards protecting the Three-Tails.
• Liuyun shattered the Three-Tails' sealing barrier and used his Mangekyō Sharingan to awaken and control the beast, which blasted through the cavern and shook Hidden Mist Village.

Liuyun attacked the Hidden Mist Village, using the Three-Tails and summoned allies to overwhelm its shinobi. As the Third Mizukage warned everyone not to meet Liuyun’s gaze, a fearless young girl defied him and challenged Liuyun.

• The Third Mizukage and Night restrained the Three-Tails with water and ice, but Liuyun appeared and attacked them with Fire Release.

• A young girl ignored the warnings, raised her head, and defiantly challenged Liuyun.

Liuyun attacked the Hidden Mist Village with the Two-Tails, Three-Tails, and Black Dragon, while the Third Mizukage protected Mei Terumi and led the village's counterattack. Mei Terumi was left terrified by the attackers' overwhelming strength and prayed for the Mizukage to win.

• A Hidden Mist Jonin was killed by Black Dragon's roar before he could strike Liuyun, and Mei Terumi stayed back, praying for the Third Mizukage to win.

Liuyun devastated Hidden Mist Village with an Immortal Technique and escaped after capturing the Three-Tails. The Five Kage then convened to discuss joining forces to eliminate him.

• Hidden Mist's clans joined the battle, but Liuyun endured their attacks as the village refused to unleash the Six-Tails.

• The Third Mizukage emerged from the ruins and turned to rescuing survivors while the Shinobi World reacted to Liuyun's attack.
• The daimyos ordered the Five Great Shinobi Villages to prioritize eliminating Liuyun, and the Five Kage met in Konoha Village to discuss joining forces.

The Five Kage argued over how to deal with Uchiha Liuyun, with the Third Kazekage accusing Konoha of possibly enabling him and Sarutobi Hiruzen rejecting the claim. The Kage ultimately agreed to join forces and kill Liuyun, and Hiruzen guaranteed that Konoha would not hold back.

• The Third Tsuchikage and Fourth Raikage called for the nations to unite against Uchiha Liuyun, while the Raikage vowed that Hidden Cloud would kill him.
• The Third Kazekage accused some villages of allowing Liuyun to grow stronger and implied that Konoha might have secretly directed him.

• Hiruzen guaranteed that neither he nor Konoha would hold back in the battle against Liuyun.

The Five Kage agreed to involve Hidden Waterfall Village’s Seven-Tails Jinchuriki and discussed how to coordinate an attack on Uchiha Liuyun. Unaware that they had reached a consensus, Liuyun traveled to Hidden Rain Village, where Hanzō of the Salamander panicked over the danger his visit posed.

• The Five Kage decided that Hidden Waterfall Village would contribute its Seven-Tails Jinchuriki to the operation without consulting the Takikage.
• The Five Kage discussed how to locate and contain Liuyun and coordinate their forces, but ended the meeting without a complete plan.
• Liuyun crossed into Rain Country while the Five Great Nations sent elites to track him, and he killed a pursuing Hyuga ninja.
• Liuyun buried the Hyuga ninja and chose to ask Hanzō of the Salamander about Nagato’s group.
• Hanzō angrily warned Liuyun that his arrival could make the Five Great Nations believe Hidden Rain Village was allied with him.

• Liuyun pressured Hanzō of the Salamander into sharing a meal and asked where Nagato and the others were.

• Konan sheltered Liuyun, but Yahiko warned her to be cautious after noticing that the rain had not touched him.
• Nagato sensed a threatening, distorted presence in Liuyun’s smile and hid behind Yahiko while the others spoke with him.

Liuyun debated Yahiko and Akatsuki about whether peace could be achieved through ideals or required force, using Hanzō of the Salamander as an example. He left their shelter in the rain, while Nagato suspected Liuyun had come specifically for him.

• Yahiko explained that Akatsuki had been founded to end war and bring peace to the Rain Country, but Liuyun called peace a weighty goal.
• Liuyun challenged Akatsuki’s belief that peace only needed enough committed followers and argued that even Hanzō of the Salamander had failed to bring peace to his own country.
• Akatsuki members angrily defended Hanzō, and Liuyun apologized before explaining that force was needed to win and preserve peace.
• Yahiko rejected Liuyun’s view that force could eliminate problems, but Liuyun insisted that lasting peace did not exist and had to be maintained through force.
• Liuyun stood to leave despite the heavy rain, revealed to Konan that he was not blind, and departed while Nagato watched him and wondered if he had come for him.

• Liuyun decided to leave Madara alive so he could crush his schemes, use Akatsuki to further his plans, and prepare for Kaguya and the Otsutsuki Clan.

• Hatake Sakumo told Liuyun that the mark held spatial coordinates and that the Five Kage would soon arrive.

• Hatake Sakumo explained that the coordinates marked a location where the Five Kage would use space-time techniques to arrive, while the surviving ninjas argued over whether to attack Liuyun or wait.
• Liuyun waited on a fallen Hidden Stone ninja's corpse as three puppets arrived, carrying the Third Kazekage, the Third Tsuchikage, and the Fourth Raikage.

• Liuyun deduced that the Five Kage had used Cloud Village's Heavenly Transfer Technique and shock-absorbing puppet shells to reach him, and the Fourth Raikage accused the Third Hokage of leaking their plan.

Liuyun faced the Five Kage, who attacked him together after negotiations failed. He unleashed a vast flood and badly injured Sarutobi Hiruzen, then pursued the Kage through the water as they tried to regroup around the Third Tsuchikage.

• The Fourth Raikage attacked Liuyun, and Liuyun blocked his punch before evading the other Kage’s attacks.

• Liuyun pursued the scattered Kage through the water while the Third Tsuchikage called for them to regroup.

• The Third Kazekage raised an Iron Sand shield against Liuyun, but Liuyun shattered it and forced the Five Kage to regroup beside the Third Tsuchikage.
• The Third Kazekage bound the Five Kage with Iron Sand chains, and the Third Tsuchikage used Added-Weight Rock techniques to send them plunging toward the ground.

• Liuyun mocked the Five Kage and concealed how depleted he was, while the Third Tsuchikage and the others vowed to keep fighting.
• Liuyun confronted Sarutobi Hiruzen, accusing him of hypocrisy and blaming him for helping bring about Liuyun’s current circumstances.
