• Itachi told Kaze that the Third Hokage wanted to see him, and Kaze took his time getting ready and eating breakfast before arriving late at the Hokage's Office.
• Kaze found Hiruzen, Koharu, Homura, and key members of the Uchiha Police Department gathered there, while Itachi remained at his side.

• Kaze told Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Konoha leadership that Konoha should resist the Raikage rather than seek peace through compromise.

Kaze’s plan succeeded when the Leaf Village Police Force exposed Danzo’s crimes across Konoha, forcing Hiruzen and the other leaders to contain the fallout. Hiruzen feared Kumogakure would attack, while Itachi struggled to understand how Kaze had uncovered his double-agent role.

• The Leaf Village Police Force used Genjutsu to take over Konoha’s broadcasts and revealed Danzo’s crimes, including footage of his arrest.

The Police Department’s notice and video exposed Danzo’s crimes and showed Kaze executing him, sending Konoha into turmoil. As Hiashi and Torifu learned what happened, they considered the political fallout and suspected Fugaku had outmaneuvered Hiruzen, unaware that Uchiha Kazekage had planned the affair.

• Hizashi told Hiashi that Danzo had stolen Sharingan, experimented with Hashirama Cells, and been executed by Kaze after resisting arrest.
• Hiashi reacted with shock at Kaze’s strength and worried that Hinata could not match his talent.

• Torifu suspected Fugaku had orchestrated the affair, while the chapter revealed that Uchiha Kazekage had actually led and planned it.

Konoha’s clans and citizens learned of Danzo’s crimes and were stunned by Kaze’s strength. As Hiruzen publicly distanced himself from Danzo and promised an investigation, Might Guy left to seek the truth from Kaze.

• Might Guy left to find Kaze and learn the truth, while Asuma wondered whether Hiruzen had supported Danzo’s actions.
• Hiruzen publicly claimed he had been kept in the dark, said he had authorized the investigation, and promised to remove Danzo as advisor, disband Root, and investigate its members.

After defeating Danzo and forcing Konoha’s leadership to compromise, Kaze outlined plans to rebuild the Police Force’s reputation and win public support. He left his clan eager to promote the force as a path toward his dream of becoming Konoha’s new Naruto.

• Kaze explained that he wanted to expand the Police Force’s work and eventually establish police departments across the Land of Fire.
• Kaze argued that the Uchiha had never produced a Naruto because they had failed to win people’s hearts, then declared his dream of becoming Konoha’s new Naruto.
• Kaze persuaded Kiyoshi and the others that serving the people would help him gain recognition and lead the Uchiha to control Konoha.
• Kaze proposed replacing the Police Force’s Uchiha Crest with Konoha’s symbol so villagers would see the force as belonging to Konoha.

Kaze returned to the Uchiha Compound and began training Sasuke and Naruto, teaching them about the Shadow Clone Jutsu and its ability to transfer experience to the original. He hoped Naruto’s enormous chakra reserves would let him exploit the technique to train far faster.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi and the other Uchiha members promised to carry out Kaze’s plans for banners and a new Police Force emblem.

• Kaze instructed Sasuke and Naruto to practice tree climbing with Shadow Clones and warned them that clone fatigue would return to their bodies.
• Kaze sensed Fugaku approaching, left the boys to train, and met Fugaku, who said he had something to discuss.

Fugaku accepted Kaze’s Police Department reforms and questioned his intentions toward Kumogakure, while Kaze explained he would respond according to the Raikage’s actions. After receiving intelligence about Danzo and Shisui’s deaths, the Raikage saw an opening against Konoha, though his elders urged caution and proposed probing the village first.

• Fugaku learned that the Third Hokage had publicly approved the Police Department’s operation and reflected on how Kaze’s defiance had gained the Uchiha Clan support.

• Cloud Ninja delivered intelligence about Danzo and Shisui’s deaths to the Raikage, who laughed and declared that Konoha was vulnerable.
• The Raikage’s elders warned against a large-scale attack and suggested sending people to probe Konoha first.

Kaze continued training Naruto and Sasuke with Shadow Clones, while Sasuke exhausted himself and missed practice. Naruto arrived before dawn to show Kaze his Shadow Clone Jutsu and tree-climbing progress, then Kaze caught him when the branches broke and began the next part of his training.

• Kaze asked Naruto whether he had been scared, then started the next part of his training.

Kaze began teaching Naruto the Six Powers, demonstrating Shave and encouraging him to master it. He promised to reveal Naruto’s parents’ identities after Naruto learned Shave and Chakra Emission, then demonstrated Chakra Emission by shattering a boulder.

• Kaze explained that Naruto would train with Shadow Clones and introduced Shave as the first of the Six Powers.
• Kaze demonstrated Shave by moving behind Naruto in an instant and explained how to perform the technique.

• Kaze told Naruto that he had also known Naruto’s mother, whom he described as cute with a bad temper.
• Kaze promised to tell Naruto about his parents after he mastered Shave and Chakra Emission, then showed him Chakra Emission by coating his fist in Chakra and shattering a boulder.

Kaze taught Naruto the basics of Chakra Emission and Armament Haki while Naruto practiced the Six Powers. Might Guy arrived, revealed he had made up his mind about Kaze’s proposal, and challenged him to a spar, leaving Kaze amused by Guy’s confidence.

Kaze sparred with Might Guy to test his Six Powers and Haki while observing the Eight Gates Technique. After fighting Guy at the fifth gate, Kaze had copied the technique with his Sharingan.

• Might Guy realized Kaze had become powerful enough that he needed to use the Eight Gates to challenge him.
• Might Guy opened the first three gates as Kaze activated his Sharingan and studied his movements and Chakra flow.
• Might Guy opened the fourth and fifth gates, and Kaze matched his attacks with Taijutsu while Naruto was driven back by the wind pressure.
• Might Guy retreated after realizing the strain of the Eight Gates would wear him down, then ended the spar when he became exhausted.
• Kaze praised the battle and concluded that his Sharingan had let him copy the Eight Gates Technique.

Kaze revealed that he had copied the Eight Gates from Might Guy, then combined the technique with his Rumble-Rumble Fruit powers to unleash a devastating attack. The chapter ended with Kaze and the onlookers stunned by the blast that devastated a distant mountain peak.

• Kaze used Moonwalk to reach the sky above the Uchiha Compound and punched toward a distant mountain.
• Kaze’s lightning-charged punch struck the mountain and blasted its summit into a mushroom cloud, shocking him and the watching Naruto, Might Guy, and Anbu ninjas.

Kaze tested a powerful combination of the Eight Gates and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, discovering its limitations while impressing Might Guy, Naruto, and the watching Anbu. The Anbu concluded that Kaze might be evenly matched with the aged Third Hokage, despite being only fifteen.

• Kaze realized that full Elementalization closed the Eight Gates, and that his strongest attack consumed enough Chakra to be used only four to six times.

• Naruto admired Kaze, while Might Guy marveled that Kaze had copied and surpassed his use of the Eight Gates without appearing injured.

• The Anbu squad captain was shocked to realize he had compared the fifteen-year-old Kaze to the Third Hokage.

After witnessing Kaze copy the Eight Gates Technique and display overwhelming power, Hiruzen feared the Uchiha's growing influence and Kaze's possible rise to Hokage. He decided to send Yamato to find Jiraiya or Tsunade and bring one of them back to the village.

• Hiruzen watched Kaze's battle with Might Guy through the Clairvoyance Jutsu and was shocked by Kaze's mastery of the Eight Gates Technique and Lightning Release.

• Hiruzen worried that Kaze's growing reputation and the Uchiha Clan's improved standing could let Kaze compete for the Fifth Hokage position.
• Hiruzen considered potential rivals but concluded that Kakashi, Yamato, Might Guy, and Itachi could not match Kaze's strength or prestige.
• Hiruzen decided to send Yamato to find Jiraiya or Tsunade and persuade one of them to return as the next Hokage.

Kaze recruited Might Guy as an instructor for the Leaf Village Police Force and heard his concerns about Kakashi. On the way home with an exhausted Naruto, Kaze encountered Obito, who introduced himself as Madara Uchiha, and Kaze answered with the name Tajima Uchiha.

• Might Guy agreed to become an instructor for the Leaf Village Police Force.
