Chapter Summaries

Konoha’s leaders debated how to prevent Orochimaru from becoming Fourth Hokage and how to exploit his interest in the Sharingan, while Danzo secretly hoped to control Uchiha Feiyu. After nearly a year of training, Feiyu mastered a fusion of Susanoo and Lightning Release Chakra Mode and believed he had become the strongest in the Shinobi World.

• Shimura Danzō urged Sarutobi Hiruzen to reconsider Orochimaru as Hokage, while Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura joined the effort to block Orochimaru’s succession.
• Shimura Danzō proposed using Orochimaru’s interest in the Sharingan to damage his reputation and separate him from Uchiha Feiyu, and Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed to wait until the war ended.
• Uchiha Feiyu returned to training, accepted Root’s newly offered techniques while treating Danzo’s attempts to win him over as a scheme, and continued developing his abilities.
• As Konoha’s war casualties mounted and young graduates were sent to the battlefield, Uchiha Feiyu spent nearly a year honing his powers.
• Uchiha Feiyu successfully combined Susanoo with Lightning Release Chakra Mode, strengthened his abilities with additional Kekkei Genkai, and concealed his progress from the Anbu and Root watching him.
• Uchiha Feiyu sensed Natural Energy through the Joyous Union Manual and believed he could eventually master it, though he had not yet learned to absorb and digest it fully.

Uchiha Feiyu harvested Hashirama Cells from Root’s laboratory and used them in the Blood Pool, greatly increasing his vitality, Chakra, and ocular power. After returning to Konoha, he went to Root to seek a mission, but Danzo summoned him before he could choose one.

• Uchiha Feiyu secretly took most of the cultivated Hashirama Cells from Root’s laboratory while the researchers believed the culture tank had malfunctioned.
• Uchiha Feiyu absorbed the refined Hashirama Cells in the Blood Pool, multiplying his vitality and Chakra and developing an incomplete Sage Body.
• Uchiha Feiyu tested his new vitality-filled Chakra on a tree and concluded that his Wood Release was weak, though continued refinement could improve his Sage Body.
• Uchiha Feiyu sensed that his ocular power was nearing Mangekyo level and wondered whether Hashirama Cells could let him awaken an Eternal Mangekyo.
• Uchiha Feiyu went to Root to look for a mission, but two Root ninja told him that Danzo wanted to see him.
• Danzo greeted Uchiha Feiyu in his office, and Uchiha Feiyu asked who they would kill, where, and how many.

Shimura Danzō sent Uchiha Feiyu to investigate the disappearance and apparent human experimentation of four Uchiha ninja, hoping to drive a wedge between Feiyu and Orochimaru. Feiyu led the Root team to Orochimaru’s laboratory, where he learned Orochimaru had reported his successful Wood Release experiment to Danzō, and the chapter ended as Root confronted Orochimaru.

• Shimura Danzō asked Uchiha Feiyu to investigate four Uchiha ninja who disappeared inside Konoha and were likely subjected to human experiments, and Feiyu accepted the mission.
• Uchiha Feiyu let the Root investigators follow their clues to Orochimaru’s concealed laboratory outside Konoha while secretly manipulating them with his Five Senses Manipulation.
• Uchiha Feiyu entered the laboratory and told Orochimaru that Danzo had sent him to arrest the rogue ninja responsible for experimenting on the Uchiha.
• Orochimaru revealed that his Wood Release Experiment had succeeded and that he had reported the result to Shimura Danzō less than three days earlier.
• Uchiha Feiyu revealed the Root ninja behind him, and they accused Orochimaru of conducting the human experiments and ordered him to surrender.

Uchiha Feiyu and Orochimaru concluded that the Third Hokage and Danzo were conspiring to drive Orochimaru out of Konoha, so they prepared to leave and make trouble for the village. Feiyu then exposed his long-running illusion over Root, captured Danzo, and revealed that he wanted revenge for Danzo’s role in his parents’ deaths.

• Uchiha Feiyu warned Orochimaru that Danzo could use evidence of his experiments to force him out, and Orochimaru suspected the Third Hokage had ordered the move.
• Orochimaru decided to leave Konoha and let the village face the consequences, while Feiyu offered to join him and asked to learn Impure World Reincarnation.
• Uchiha Feiyu visited Danzo carrying a bundle that appeared to contain Danzo’s own severed head, then trapped him in an illusion and exposed his knowledge of Root’s secrets.
• Danzo ordered Root ninja to kill Feiyu, but they ignored him because Feiyu had manipulated their senses and controlled what they perceived.
• Orochimaru asked whether Danzo should be kept alive, and Feiyu explained that he wanted to settle a personal grudge over Danzo’s connection to his parents’ deaths.

Uchiha Feiyu killed Danzo, manipulated Root into attacking the Uchiha Compound and the Hokage Building, and collected the fallen Uchiha’s bodies while the village descended into chaos. Orochimaru fought Sarutobi Hiruzen, who ordered the Anbu to capture him as the battle ended.

• Orochimaru advised Uchiha Feiyu to kill Danzo, and Feiyu snapped Danzo’s neck, collected his soul, and burned his body.
• Uchiha Feiyu used Five Senses Manipulation to make Root ninjas attack the Uchiha Clan and the Third Hokage, then gathered Root’s files to undermine Hiruzen’s rule.
• Over a hundred Root ninjas attacked the Uchiha Compound while other Root ninjas assaulted the Hokage Building, leaving half the compound destroyed before the Uchiha defeated their attackers.
• Uchiha Feiyu secretly collected more than seventy fallen Uchiha bodies as Orochimaru fought Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been weakened by snake venom.
• After Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen were both badly wounded, Hiruzen ordered the arriving Anbu to capture Orochimaru and take him to prison.

Uchiha Feiyu left Konoha with Orochimaru after exposing Root’s files, then awakened dual Tsukuyomi abilities that let him train within an accelerated Genjutsu realm. He discovered the training rapidly strengthened his Chakra transformations, but consumed souls far faster than expected.

• Uchiha Feiyu arrived during Orochimaru’s battle with the Third Hokage, helped Orochimaru escape, and revealed that he had distributed copies of Root’s files throughout Konoha.
• Uchiha Feiyu and Orochimaru left Konoha with Orochimaru’s loyal subordinates, but agreed to cooperate without building an organization together.
• Uchiha Feiyu proposed taking over a weakened shinobi organization and agreed to provide Orochimaru help in exchange for payment.
• Uchiha Feiyu entered the Underground Blood Pool and evolved his Sharingan, awakening Tsukuyomi in both eyes and discovering their enhanced time control and soul-absorbing Genjutsu realm.
• Uchiha Feiyu used the Genjutsu realm to train for what felt like a year, greatly improving his Chakra transformations while consuming the knowledge of over a hundred souls.

Uchiha Feiyu infiltrated Sunagakure and used overwhelming genjutsu to seize control of the village while confronting Fifth Kazekage Pakura. He left Pakura helpless as he examined the village’s secret scrolls and studied how to form Scorch Release.

• Uchiha Feiyu reached Sunagakure and used Five Senses Manipulation to pass the guards and explore the village undetected.
• Uchiha Feiyu visited Rasa’s home, found Karura with the infant Temari, and realized Gaara and Kankurō were not present in this version of events.
• Pakura celebrated news of Orochimaru and Uchiha Feiyu defecting from Konoha before Feiyu appeared in her office and trapped her in genjutsu.
• Uchiha Feiyu’s illusions made Pakura believe Sunagakure had been invaded and its shinobi were attacking one another, while her attempts to break free were also illusions.
• Uchiha Feiyu read Sunagakure’s secret scrolls and found the method for combining Scorch Release, then blinded Pakura when she tried to attack him.

Uchiha Feiyu used Genjutsu to force Pakura to make him a member of her Shadow Guard Squad, then demonstrated that Sunagakure could not defeat him. Pakura agreed to cooperate with him in taking control of the village, and Feiyu began his plan to restore its Magnet Release.

• Uchiha Feiyu stripped Pakura of her senses, controlled her, and made her appoint him to her Shadow Guard Squad.
• Pakura recalled the appointment and despaired, while Uchiha Feiyu explained that he wanted Sunagakure to grow stronger for his own purposes.
• Pakura challenged Uchiha Feiyu to demonstrate his strength, and he invited her to attack him in the Demon Great Desert.
• Pakura unleashed her Scorch Release fireballs, but Uchiha Feiyu withstood them with his Lightning Armor.
• Pakura acknowledged that Sunagakure could not defeat Uchiha Feiyu and agreed to cooperate with him in taking control of the village.
• Uchiha Feiyu announced that he would restore Sunagakure's Magnet Release and raised glittering golden metal sand with Gold Dust Ninja Art.

Uchiha Feiyu demonstrated that he could use Gold Dust and Wood Release, convincing Pakura that his abilities could transform Sunagakure and the Land of Wind. After returning to the village and winning over its ninja, he demanded compensation from Pakura for his help, leaving her to ask what he wanted despite Sunagakure’s lack of money.

• Uchiha Feiyu created a massive Gold Dust pillar and offered to help qualified Sunagakure ninja learn Magnet Release at the cost of some of their lifespan.
• Uchiha Feiyu revealed his Wood Release, and Pakura declared it far more useful to Sunagakure than Magnet Release; he refused to teach the Kekkei Genkai to others.
• Pakura and Uchiha Feiyu returned to Sunagakure, where the village’s ninja celebrated the Wood Release plants covering the entrance and much of the village.
• Uchiha Feiyu expanded the greenery across Sunagakure’s canyon, earning the villagers’ enthusiastic support as Pakura brought him back to the Kazekage Office.
• Uchiha Feiyu sat in the Kazekage’s chair and demanded compensation for helping Sunagakure, and Pakura asked what he wanted while warning that the village was poor.

Uchiha Feiyu used a secret dual-cultivation method to gain control over Pakura, and their first session awakened his Scorch Release while strengthening them both. With Pakura’s backing, Feiyu began using his soul technique to help Sunagakure shinobi awaken Magnet Release, starting with an elderly volunteer.

• Pakura agreed to dual cultivate with Uchiha Feiyu in exchange for his promised help with Magnet Release shinobi and Sunagakure’s environment.
• That night, Feiyu and Pakura dual cultivated, and Feiyu secretly intended the method to make the Kazekage increasingly compliant.
• The next morning, Feiyu awakened Scorch Release and gained strength, while Pakura reported a major increase in her Chakra and abilities.
• Pakura gathered more than a dozen Sand Control Technique users and introduced Feiyu as the person who would help them awaken Magnet Release.
• An elderly Sand Shinobi volunteered first, and Feiyu used Rasa’s soul to begin the awakening process.

Uchiha Feiyu used Fourth Kazekage Rasa’s soul to help Sand Shinobi awaken Magnet Release, with Karura and two others succeeding. Sunagakure gained new fighters and a source of gold, while the remaining candidates were told they could try again after the soul recovered.

• Uchiha Feiyu had Rasa’s soul possess Shirosuna, who performed Gold Dust Great Burial and then awakened Magnet Release himself.
• Karura asked to try the method, and after Rasa’s soul possessed her, she successfully used Gold Dust Great Burial and awakened Magnet Release.
• Seven or eight Sand Shinobi failed to awaken the bloodline, while one more succeeded with less strength than Shirosuna.
• Uchiha Feiyu withdrew Rasa’s weakened soul, and Pakura welcomed the three new Magnet Release users and the gold dust they could provide Sunagakure.
• Pakura told the unsuccessful ninjas they could try again in half a year, while Uchiha Feiyu estimated Rasa’s soul could endure only a few more uses of the technique.

Uchiha Feiyu expanded Sunagakure’s oases and successfully used Impure World Reincarnation to revive Hashirama Senju, whom he assigned to help with greening the desert. Pakura then revealed that Karura had agreed to become one of Feiyu’s cultivation vessels, setting up their meeting.

• Pakura urged Uchiha Feiyu to recruit more powerful kunoichi as cultivation vessels, and he left the selection to her.
• Uchiha Feiyu used Wood Release to expand Sunagakure’s oasis lands, greatly improving the village’s prospects for recovery.
• At Sunagakure’s underground base, Uchiha Feiyu successfully reincarnated Hashirama Senju using a sealed test subject and placed a control talisman in his brain.
• Uchiha Feiyu gave Pakura control of Hashirama Senju so he could help Sunagakure maintain its forests and grasslands.
• Pakura told Uchiha Feiyu that Karura had agreed to become his cultivation vessel after Pakura presented the technique as a way to grow stronger.

Uchiha Feiyu made Karura submit to his cultivation and used her newly increased strength to send her after Hoshigakure’s Star. He then prepared to confront the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, whose monks and hired forces had kept Sunagakure from challenging his authority.

• Pakura pressured Karura into accepting Uchiha Feiyu’s cultivation by threatening to make Temari a Jinchuriki, and Karura became obedient to Feiyu within days.
• Karura’s Chakra and Magnet Release grew stronger through cultivation with Feiyu, while he reviewed intelligence about unusual places and powers in the Shinobi World.
• Feiyu ordered Karura to take ninjas and retrieve Hoshigakure’s Star, which he suspected might be tied to the Otsutsuki, the God Tree, or another source of energy.
• Feiyu concluded that the Daimyo of the Land of Wind resisted Sunagakure because he relied on powerful monks and wandering ninjas, and he planned to control or eliminate the Daimyo.
• Feiyu looked forward to fighting the Daimyo’s forces, including more than two thousand Chakra-cultivating monks and a proposed ninja army, to replenish his Sacrificial Black Qi.

Uchiha Feiyu attacked the Daimyo’s Palace, defeated its guards, and confronted the Daimyo of the Land of Wind over his efforts to weaken Sunagakure. He put the Daimyo under Sharingan Genjutsu, leaving him furious and ordering his forces to kill Feiyu.

• Uchiha Feiyu entered the capital and walked through its gates after using Genjutsu on the soldiers guarding them.
• Uchiha Feiyu killed two samurai at the Daimyo’s Palace entrance, then fought the guards and monks who rushed to stop him.
• The monks restrained a Lightning Clone with golden sealing chains, but Uchiha Feiyu appeared on Golden Sand before the Daimyo and his shinobi.
• Uchiha Feiyu accused the Daimyo of weakening Sunagakure by cutting its funding and building up the monks and Guardians.
• The Daimyo began to offer a compromise, but Uchiha Feiyu used Sharingan Genjutsu to make him believe Sunagakure had betrayed him.
• The Daimyo ordered his forces to kill Uchiha Feiyu.

Uchiha Feiyu destroyed the Daimyo of the Land of Wind’s forces with Magnet Release and Wood Release, then sacrificed the tens of thousands of dead to the Demonic Path Inheritance Compendium. The chapter ended as he received the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, Secret Technique Chapter.

• Uchiha Feiyu slaughtered the Monks and ninja in the Daimyo’s Palace, then used Sharingan Psychological Suggestion to drive the Daimyo of the Land of Wind to gather his forces against Sunagakure.
• Uchiha Feiyu followed the Daimyo’s assembled army toward Sunagakure and attacked after it had marched away from the capital.
• Uchiha Feiyu used Tree World Descent to absorb the Chakra of tens of thousands of soldiers and kill most of the Monks and wandering ninja.
• Uchiha Feiyu killed the remaining Monks after they rejected his offer to flee, while the surviving wandering ninja escaped to spread the news.
• Uchiha Feiyu sacrificed the army’s deaths through Precise Sacrifice and received the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, Secret Technique Chapter.

Uchiha Feiyu used the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art to strengthen his physique and spent nearly two years cultivating its secret arts while rebuilding Sunagakure’s strength. The chapter leaves Sunagakure far stronger, with Feiyu’s Anbu and Pakura and Karura advancing under his influence.

• Uchiha Feiyu took control of the Land of Wind’s Daimyo, then used the Blood Pool to refine corpses and awaken Eternal Mangekyo-level ocular power while repairing most of his Sage Body’s deficiencies.
• Uchiha Feiyu decided to cultivate the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art’s secret arts, which could improve his physique and absorb Natural Energy, and estimated that mastering them would take years.
• Nearly two years later, Uchiha Feiyu had learned to cultivate Sage Mode, absorb chakra from ninjutsu, and use a powerful Genjutsu through the demonic art’s secret arts.
• Uchiha Feiyu used Sunagakure’s Bloodline Limit corpses to optimize his physique, while Pakura, Karura, and many female ninjas advanced through Dual Cultivation with him.
• Sunagakure gained more than thirty new Jonin in two years, including twenty-four of Feiyu’s Anbu, and Pakura and Karura grew strong enough to help restore much of the village’s former power.

Uchiha Feiyu taught Natsuhoshi and Karura a technique to counter the Mysterious Peacock Method’s drawbacks, then traveled to the Land of Grass to investigate Kusagakure and capture an Uzumaki woman. He ended the chapter interrogating two Grass Ninjas for intelligence on Kusagakure.

• Uchiha Feiyu met Natsuhoshi and Karura at a training ground above Sunagakure and explained that he had developed a technique to let them safely continue cultivating the Mysterious Peacock Method.
• Uchiha Feiyu gave the technique to Natsuhoshi and Karura and told Karura to teach it to Pakura as well.
• Two female Anbu reported that the Uzumaki Clan members Uchiha Feiyu had been monitoring had appeared in Kusagakure, and he decided to capture Uzumaki Karin's mother and test his secret techniques there.
• Uchiha Feiyu traveled to the Land of Grass, where two Grass Ninjas tried to rob him and ended up kneeling before him.
• Uchiha Feiyu used his Sharingan to compel the two Grass Ninjas to reveal intelligence about Kusagakure.

Uchiha Feiyu uncovered the Grass Ninjas’ plans for a captured Uzumaki woman and stormed Kusagakure’s prison, killing the ninjas who tried to stop him. He reached the woman in the deepest cell, where she nervously asked who he was.

• Uchiha Feiyu learned that Kusagakure had captured an Uzumaki woman and that its factions were debating whether to exploit her healing bloodline or sacrifice her to the Box of Paradise.
• A Grass Special Jonin led Uchiha Feiyu to the prison and revealed that the woman was being held there while the village’s leaders deliberated.
• Uchiha Feiyu killed his guide, exposed himself to Kusagakure, and drained the chakra and bodily origins of the Grass Ninjas who confronted him.
• Uchiha Feiyu dissolved the prison’s seals, killed the prisoners who shouted at him, and continued deeper into the cells.
• Uchiha Feiyu found the red-haired Uzumaki woman, who trembled and asked who he was.

Uchiha Feiyu rescued Uzumaki Kana, devastated Kusagakure, and forced its surviving ninjas to submit by promising them Essence Pills. After controlling the village’s three strongest leaders, he sent them to seize the Box of Paradise and prisoners from Hozuki Castle.

• Uchiha Feiyu freed Uzumaki Kana from Kusagakure’s prison and faced the Grass Ninjas outside.
• Uchiha Feiyu used a Sage Chakra-enhanced Wind Release tornado to destroy half of Kusagakure and scatter its defenders.
• Uchiha Feiyu sent more than a hundred Wood Clones to slaughter Grass Ninjas and collect their essence as pills.
• Uchiha Feiyu made the surviving Grass Ninjas surrender, controlled Kusagakure’s three high-ranking leaders with Genjutsu, and distributed Essence Pills to strengthen the survivors.
• Uchiha Feiyu promised more pills in exchange for living ninja sacrifices, and the Grass Ninjas agreed to bring him more captives.
• Kusagakure’s three leaders went to Hozuki Castle and returned with the Box of Paradise, its warden Mui, more than a hundred prisoners, and over a thousand Grass Ninja guards.

After controlling Mui and strengthening Kusagakure, Uchiha Feiyu used the Box of Paradise to refine a new demonic treasure and absorb its corrupted souls. The process briefly separated his soul from his body, then returned it with greater stability, leaving him with a stronger foundation and confidence about future challenges.

• Uchiha Feiyu controlled Mui after giving him Essence Pills, bringing Kusagakure's forces to strength comparable to the major ninja villages.
• Uchiha Feiyu examined the Box of Paradise and sacrificed black mist to obtain the Primal Chaos Treasure Box forging method and the Soul Refinement Technique.
• Uchiha Feiyu sensed more than a million ninja souls inside the Box of Paradise and began refining the box while purifying and absorbing their soul energy.
• Uchiha Feiyu's soul left his body during the refinement, then returned and felt more stable, with improved sensory abilities, reactions, and Chakra control.
• Uchiha Feiyu recognized that his cultivation foundation remained unstable but believed he would grow strong enough to surpass the Otsutsuki Clan before reaching a bottleneck.
