First Elder and Second Elder learned that Third Elder and Oli’s Soul Jade Tablets had shattered, but decided to investigate before telling the Clan Leader. At Anya Tavern, Vivian and her friends held a victory banquet, while Xiao Xie quietly left desserts in a shadowy corner.

• First Elder worried that Oli’s attempt to win the Ninth Princess’s favor might go wrong, and Second Elder assured him that Third Elder was secretly watching over them.

After learning that Anya Tavern may have killed his son Oli, Will Jackman rushed to Green Jade Town and attacked the tavern. Vivian confronted him over the destroyed roof, while Duo Duo asked Xiao You to help protect her master.

• Xiao You revealed that the Queen had sent her to protect Duo Duo, and Duo Duo urged her to help Vivian against Will.

Will Jackman confronted Vivian over his son Oli’s death, but Duo Duo’s status as the next Elf Queen made him hesitate. After spotting the Life Gem in Duo Duo’s pendant, Will used the murder accusation to pressure her into handing it over, and Vivian prepared to fight.

• Will dropped his accusation that Vivian and the others killed Oli and demanded Duo Duo's pendant, revealing that he wanted the Life Gem.
• Xiao Xie said he had killed Oli and the Three Great Elders after learning they planned to steal Duo Duo's Life Gem.
• Will unleashed his killing intent and summoned a giant golden spear, prompting Duo Duo to offer the Life Gem if he would spare Xiao Xie.
• Xiao Xie refused Duo Duo's offer and ordered Suppressing Heaven and Earth to attack Will with two Gravity Cannons.
• Will destroyed the Gravity Cannons with his Gold Fox Spear, but Xiao Xie summoned the Obelisk Giant God Soldier, which swung its fist at Will.

Xiao Xie used the Giant God Soldier to kill Will and capture his soul and Storage Ring. After Vivian mistook Xiao Xie for a Saint-Level Summoner, he left the tavern to use Will’s possessions to raise his strength.

• Will was trapped by the Gravity Cannon’s intense gravity and failed to withstand the Giant God Soldier’s punch, which destroyed his body.

• Xiao Xie told Vivian he was going to rest, then headed to the rear courtyard to exchange Will’s possessions for Points.
• Vivian sent the tavern guests home, and a wolfman mercenary celebrated having been served a drink by Xiao Xie.

After Will Jackman’s death made Xiao Xie’s reputation spread, Vivian pledged to stand by him, while Vivia worried about the powerful enemies he might have. Xiao Xie reviewed how he had planned Will’s death, recycled the contents of his storage rings, and began upgrading Suppressing Heaven and Earth.

• The mercenaries left Anya Tavern boasting about Xiao Xie, spreading word that he was a Saint-Level Summoner.
• Vivian ordered Carl and Kurt to repair the tavern, and she reassured Vivia that she would stand by Xiao Xie; Duo Duo also declared her loyalty.
• Xiao Xie entered the Worship Space and recalled that he had killed Oli and the Three Great Elders to lure Will Jackman into a trap and kill him before the Spirit Fox Empire’s Saint Realm Experts could intervene.
• Xiao Xie found fewer valuables than expected in Will’s Storage Ring, recycled its Magic Cores for over 320 million Points, and gained over 30 million more by recycling the cores from Oli and the Three Great Elders’ rings.
• Xiao Xie spent 30 million Points upgrading Suppressing Heaven and Earth’s materials to Vibranium and planned another upgrade because Vibranium was unreliable against magic.

Xiao Xie enhanced Suppressing Heaven and Earth, while the Fox Emperor used Will Jackman's death to reclaim control and exile the Jackman Family. Three months later, Xiao Xie remained famous across the Spirit Fox Empire and drew a World Travel Ticket from the Birthday Prize Wheel, preparing to visit Naruto.

• Xiao Xie spent 100 million Points to enhance Suppressing Heaven and Earth, raising its strength and maximum gravity control to 6,000 times.
• The Fox Emperor declared Will Jackman a suspected rebel and commuted the Jackman Family's death sentences to exile at the frontier.
• The Fox Emperor thanked Xiao Xie and decided not to seek revenge, recognizing the danger of provoking a Saint-Level Summoner.
• Three months after Will's death, Xiao Xie's name had spread across the Spirit Fox Empire, and he no longer performed tavern duties because customers feared him.
• Xiao Xie asked Xiao Xiao to bring up the Birthday Prize Wheel and received a World Travel Ticket.

Xiao Xie weighed the World Travel Tickets he had and chose the Naruto world over Legend of Sword and Fairy 1, deciding that the latter was too dangerous because its world included powerful figures beyond the story’s main plot. He prepared to use the Naruto ticket, while his status panel showed his current abilities and resources.

• Xiao Xie considered the Naruto, Pacific Rim, and Legend of Sword and Fairy tickets after ruling out worlds that were too weak or dangerous.
• Xiao Xie rejected Pacific Rim because earning Worship Points there would rely on luck rather than reliably improving his strength.
• Xiao Xiao warned Xiao Xie that the complete world of Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 also contained powerful figures from Legend of Sword and Fairy 3.
• Xiao Xie realized he might be unable to save Zhao Ling'er with his current Golden Core Late Stage cultivation and chose the Naruto World Travel Ticket.
• Xiao Xie checked his Attribute Panel, which listed his abilities, possessions, and more than three million Worship Points gained after he killed Will.

Xiao Xie settled into Konoha Village and visited Ichiraku Ramen, where he met Naruto Uzumaki and Iruka. Seeing Naruto long for the expensive seafood ramen, Xiao Xie ordered three more bowls and offered to treat him and Iruka.

• Xiao Xie traveled to the Land of Fire in the sixtieth year of Konoha and decided to visit Konoha Village.
• Xiao Xie dealt with several groups of bandits, entered Konoha Village, and rented a shop and courtyard.
• Xiao Xie went to Ichiraku Ramen and met Naruto Uzumaki and Iruka there.
• Xiao Xie praised Teuchi's Deluxe Seafood Ramen while Naruto watched hungrily.
• Xiao Xie ordered three more bowls of Deluxe Seafood Ramen, offering two to Naruto and Iruka and one to be packed up.

Xiao Xie befriended Naruto and waited for the chance to inspect the Book of Seals when Naruto stole it. After Naruto failed his graduation exam, he sat alone, and Mizuki approached him with a sinister smile.

• Xiao Xie treated Naruto and Iruka to ramen, introduced himself, and invited them to visit his department store.
• Xiao Xie planned to examine the Book of Seals when Naruto stole it, avoiding a direct confrontation with Konoha.
• Naruto regularly visited Xiao Xie's store, and Xiao Xie promised him a mysterious gift if he passed his graduation exam.
• Naruto failed the Clone Technique exam and sat alone, ashamed that he had promised Xiao Xie he would pass.
• Mizuki spotted Naruto and approached him with a sinister smile.

After recording the forbidden techniques in the Book of Seals, Xiao Xie chose three to learn and quickly mastered the Eight Gates. He tested its power, then released it, confident that the Nine Spirits Pearl could counter its life-draining cost.

• Naruto stole the Book of Seals and practiced the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique while Xiao Xie secretly recorded its forbidden techniques.
• Xiao Xie returned to his room, reviewed the techniques, and chose the Eight Gates, Impure World Reincarnation, and Flying Thunder God Technique to study.
• Xiao Xie mastered the Eight Gates in less than half an hour and opened all eight gates to test his increased strength.
• Xiao Xie released the Eight Gates and relied on the Nine Spirits Pearl to replenish the life force its use consumed.

Xiao Xie developed the Instantaneous Technique, a space-time ninjutsu that used Space Aura as coordinates, and tested it near Konoha. After rescuing a girl from two attackers, he captured the men as potential sacrifices for Impure World Reincarnation and prepared to summon souls.

• Xiao Xie studied the Flying Thunder God Technique and used a hundred shadow clones to develop the Instantaneous Technique, which let him teleport by sensing or marking Space Aura.
• Xiao Xie expanded his perception across Konoha and teleported to a forest several hundred li away, finding the technique easy to use thanks to his abundant Nine-Tails chakra.
• Xiao Xie sensed that there were no bandit dens near Konoha and later teleported two men away as they tried to assault a girl in a town nearby.
• Xiao Xie brought the unconscious men to a remote forest to use as sacrifices for Impure World Reincarnation and extracted the souls of the Three Great Elders and Will Jackman from Rongwu Mountain.

Xiao Xie tested Impure World Reincarnation by reviving Will and Three Great Elders in weak sacrificial bodies, then sealed them away. The next morning, he celebrated Naruto passing the graduation exam by giving him a ninja pouch and taking him to Ichiraku Ramen.

• Xiao Xie used two street thugs as sacrifices to revive Will and Three Great Elders with Impure World Reincarnation.
• Will said he could only reach Level 6 Warrior strength, while Three Great Elders could only reach Level 5 Warrior strength in their new bodies.
• Xiao Xie sealed Will and Three Great Elders in coffins and returned to his bedroom.
• Naruto rushed into Xiao Xie's shop to announce that he had passed the graduation exam, and Xiao Xie gave him a ninja pouch as a gift.
• Xiao Xie took Naruto to Ichiraku Ramen, where Teuchi made Naruto's ramen free to celebrate his graduation.

Xiao Xie considered taking Kakashi’s Sharingan and decided to visit Danzo at Root before Naruto’s team left for the Land of Waves. At Root, Danzo plotted to seize control of the Jinchuriki and Sasuke while preparing to replace Hiruzen as Hokage.

• Xiao Xie shared ramen with Naruto, Teuchi, and Ayame, then thought about Kakashi’s Kamui eye and whether taking it would help Kakashi.
• Xiao Xie decided to visit Danzo at Root and reflected on how Danzo’s schemes had harmed Konoha and frustrated his own bid for the Hokage position.
• Danzo declared that the Jinchuriki and Sasuke should be under his control and that Hiruzen should be replaced by a stronger Hokage.

Xiao Xie captured Danzo, stole the Sharingan implanted in his body, and used Danzo to strengthen Will through Impure World Reincarnation. He then refined the stolen eyes, awakening a four-pointed shuriken Sharingan in his right eye and a three-tomoe Sharingan in his left.

• Xiao Xie knocked Danzo unconscious, transformed into Uchiha Obito, and escaped Root with Danzo, claiming he would avenge the Uchiha Clan.
• Xiao Xie took Danzo to a forest, gouged out his right eye, and removed every Sharingan from his right arm.
• Xiao Xie used Impure World Reincarnation to revive Will in Danzo’s body, and Will said it let him reach early ninth-level strength.
• Xiao Xie sent Will away in a coffin and entered the Worship Space to refine the ocular power from Danzo’s Sharingan.
• Xiao Xie finished refining the eyes and opened his own, revealing a four-pointed shuriken Sharingan in his right eye and a three-tomoe Sharingan in his left.

Xiao Xie tested Shisui’s Mangekyō abilities and considered seeking more Sharingan from Orochimaru, while the Third Hokage investigated the mysterious attacker who had taken Danzo. The Third Hokage suspected a link to the Nine-Tails attack but remained unaware of Danzo’s experiments.

• Xiao Xie concluded that more Sharingan could push his left eye past its bottleneck and decided to wait for Orochimaru to come to him during the Konoha Crush.
• Xiao Xie activated Susanoo and found that his single Mangekyō Sharingan could summon only its incomplete upper body.
• Xiao Xie identified his right eye’s ability as Kotoamatsukami and reflected on how Soul Power affected genjutsu.
• Xiao Xie returned to his bedroom as the Third Hokage heard Root’s report and connected the attacker to the masked man who had controlled the Nine-Tails.
• The Third Hokage questioned why Danzo had been captured and whether the attacker belonged to the same organization as Uchiha Itachi.

The Third Hokage considered how to contact Uchiha Itachi for information about the mysterious person who abducted Danzo, unaware of the secret in Danzo’s arm. Xiao Xie reflected on Itachi’s role in the Uchiha Clan’s massacre and rejected sacrificing family for the greater good, saying he preferred a tyrant’s approach.

• The Third Hokage failed to understand why the mysterious Akatsuki-clad person had abducted Danzo, then prepared a special scroll to contact Uchiha Itachi.
• The chapter explained that Uchiha Itachi was secretly Konoha’s spy within Akatsuki and might know about the mysterious person.
• Xiao Xie argued that Uchiha Itachi’s decision to kill his parents and the Uchiha Clan for the greater good was unacceptable to him.
• Xiao Xie reasoned that Uchiha Shisui had gradually influenced Itachi’s thinking and that the idea of sacrificing some for the greater good benefited those left alive.
• Xiao Xie said he preferred Cao Cao’s principle of betraying the world rather than letting the world betray him.

After Naruto left Konoha with Kakashi’s team for their first outside mission, Xiao Xie followed them to the Land of Waves, where Kado’s control had left the people impoverished and hopeless. After giving a hungry girl candy, Xiao Xie decided to eliminate Kado and claim his assets and the people’s Worship Points.

• The Third Hokage grew suspicious after Uchiha Itachi denied that Akatsuki had a mysterious masked man.
• Naruto visited Xiao Xie to say goodbye before leaving Konoha with Kakashi, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura on a mission.
• Xiao Xie used the Instantaneous Technique to travel to the Land of Waves and considered taking Kakashi’s Sharingan.
• Xiao Xie learned that Kado controlled the Land of Waves’ maritime trade and had driven its people into poverty.
• Xiao Xie gave a hungry little girl a bag of candy and decided to get rid of Kado.

Xiao Xie realized that Team 8, led by Yuhi Kurenai, was escorting Tazuna in the Land of Waves instead of Naruto’s team, and decided to protect them. Zabuza ambushed the group, and the chapter ended with him demanding that they hand Tazuna over.

• Xiao Xie sensed Kurenai’s team entering the Land of Waves and realized he had mistaken which team accepted the escort mission.
• Xiao Xie decided to intervene because Kurenai and Hinata were in danger and he wanted to save Kurenai.
• Zabuza spotted Hinata’s Byakugan and recognized her as a member of the Hyuga Zong Family, hoping to take her eyes for himself.
• Kurenai sensed Zabuza’s killing intent and warned the team, allowing them to dodge his thrown Executioner’s Blade.
• Zabuza introduced himself through his attack and demanded that Kurenai hand Tazuna over, but she refused.
