Chapter Summaries

Feng Ye returned to Konoha after obtaining the Tenseigan and reaching Six Paths level, then considered how to grow stronger and protect against threats like Momoshiki Otsutsuki. He decided Kakashi should receive Obito’s Kamui Mangekyo, leaving Kakashi’s future strength and marriage as matters to arrange.

• Feng Ye returned to the Hokage Office, dismissed his Shadow Clone, and told the Nine-Tails to stay inside rather than watch television.
• Feng Ye strengthened the barrier around the fifth floor with Six Paths Power, then rested and assessed his new Tenseigan and Six Paths abilities.
• Feng Ye concluded that his Tenseigan could let him resist Momoshiki Otsutsuki’s Time Stop, while identifying Nagato’s Rinnegan and the Eighth Gate as possible paths to greater strength.
• Feng Ye decided to give Obito’s Kamui Mangekyo to Kakashi and considered teaching Kakashi senjutsu once his Chakra reached Kage level.
• Feng Ye wondered whether Kakashi’s future son would inherit Sage Body power or the Sharingan, and thought he could arrange a marriage for Kakashi.

Feng Ye told Kakashi and Rin that Obito had died and left Kakashi his Mangekyō Sharingan, while advising him to wait until he could bear the strain. After handling Hokage duties, Feng Ye went to Kirigakure, where Mei Terumi had restored order and was ready to accompany him.

• Feng Ye returned home, gave Kakashi the Kusanagi Sword, and said he still had to settle matters in Kirigakure.
• Feng Ye told Kakashi and Rin that Obito had died and placed a scroll containing Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan on the table.
• Feng Ye advised Kakashi to delay transplanting both eyes until he had raised his Chakra and developed a Sage Body, and Kakashi chose to train first.
• Over the following year, Kakashi trained intensely while Feng Ye checked on Konan's work and left a Shadow Clone at the Hokage Office.
• Yagura recovered from the genjutsu but remained badly injured, so he ordered Mei Terumi to take over Kirigakure's duties; she suppressed the chaos and waited for Feng Ye.
• Feng Ye arrived in Kirigakure, and Mei Terumi, dressed and ready, told him she was prepared to go with him.

Feng Ye ended the war with Kirigakure by securing the Seven Ninja Swords’ summoning scroll and imposing terms on the village. Back in Konoha, he restricted the scroll, sent Nuibari to Rin, and began studying the Scroll of Seals.

• Feng Ye negotiated with Kirigakure’s Grand Elder, and Mei Terumi urged the village to accept his terms and surrender the Seven Ninja Swords’ summoning scroll.
• Kirigakure’s Grand Elder agreed, and Feng Ye inspected the scroll before declaring the war ended for now and telling Mei Terumi he looked forward to her becoming Fifth Mizukage.
• Feng Ye altered the summoning scroll so the Seven Ninja Swords could only be summoned through it, then summoned Nuibari and sent it to Rin.
• Feng Ye ordered a Shadow Guard to tell Shikaku about the agreement, then placed the summoning scroll in Konoha’s Sealing Chamber.
• Feng Ye took the Scroll of Seals to his office and began reading about techniques he could master with his Six Paths abilities.

Feng Ye studied the Scroll of Seals, tested sealing techniques on Konan, and removed the seal restricting her Chakra. He made her an official Konoha ninja while secretly using her to draw out Nagato, then examined the dangerous Impure World Reincarnation technique.

• Feng Ye learned sealing techniques and Wood Release techniques from the Scroll of Seals with ease.
• Feng Ye tested several sealing techniques on Konan, then healed her and removed the seal that had restricted her Chakra.
• Feng Ye told Konan she could become an official Konoha ninja, while intending to use her freedom and a Flying Thunder God formula to locate Nagato.
• Konan thanked Feng Ye, poured him tea, and returned to her place in the office.
• Feng Ye studied Impure World Reincarnation and recognized that powerful resurrected people could break free of the caster's control.

Feng Ye reviewed the limits of sealing Impure World Reincarnation and discussed Konoha’s finances and operations with Shikaku Nara. He approved recalling most of Konoha’s forces from the Land of Rain and promised aid to Rōran, then learned Tsunade had borrowed ten million ryo in his name.

• Feng Ye studied Impure World Reincarnation but gave up on finding a way to seal it because separating the worlds of the living and dead exceeded his power.
• Shikaku Nara reported that the Land of Rain was stable, and Feng Ye ordered four thousand of Konoha’s six thousand stationed ninja recalled while two thousand remained.
• Shikaku Nara told Feng Ye that Rōran had requested aid because losing the Dragon Vein’s power had left the town struggling to obtain water, and Feng Ye agreed to help.
• Feng Ye put the proposed Shadow Guard division on hold and said he would train newly graduated ninja instead of transferring clan elites.
• Feng Ye told Shikaku Nara to collect reparations from Kirigakure and learned Tsunade had borrowed ten million ryo in his name before leaving Konoha.

Feng Ye arrived in Rōran as sandstorms threatened to bury the desert town, then used Wood Release to transform the surrounding desert into a vast forest. His feat spread across the Shinobi World, earning him the title God of Shinobi.

• Sara watched an approaching sandstorm and worried that Rōran’s people would be forced to abandon their home.
• Feng Ye reunited with Sara and drove back the sandstorm with Sage Art - Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere.
• Sara explained that the Dragon Vein’s fading power had brought increasingly frequent sandstorms, and Feng Ye asked whether she wanted to remain in Rōran.
• Feng Ye entered Six Paths Mode and used Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence to spread a vast forest around Rōran and scatter the sandstorms.
• Rōran’s people celebrated the forest as a miracle, and word of Feng Ye’s feat spread until the Shinobi World called him the God of Shinobi.

Two years after creating the border forest, Feng Ye had strengthened Konoha and established the Shadow Guard’s divisions while remaining its Fifth Hokage. Shisui reported Konoha’s takeover of the Land of Bears and delivered Hoshigakure’s sealed Star, as Feng Ye greeted his enthusiastic admirers.

• Over two years, Shisui Uchiha became an Elite Jonin, Kakashi gained Kage-level strength and wounded Killer B, and several ninjas took leadership or vice-leadership roles in the Shadow Guard.
• Tsunade became a Konoha advisor, Konan the Angel became captain of the Fifth Division, and Kurenai Yuhi rose to Elite Jonin after training with Feng Ye.
• Shisui Uchiha reported that Hoshigakure’s resistance had been crushed and the Land of Bears had been incorporated into the Land of Fire as Bear Town.
• Shisui Uchiha gave Feng Ye a sealed box containing Hoshigakure’s Star, which he described as possessing an evil power.
• Feng Ye waved to a group of girls below Hokage Rock, prompting excited cheers and amused comments from villagers nearby.

Feng Ye examined the sealed Star, reviewed the peaceful annexation of neighboring countries, and continued training toward opening the Eighth Gate. As Kumogakure’s envoys arrived to formalize peace after the Third Great Ninja War, Feng Ye sent Rin to receive them.

• Feng Ye inspected the Star, judged its energy to be harmful radiation rather than Ten-Tails power, and stored it under an Eight Trigrams Seal.
• Feng Ye reviewed reports on the Land of Bears and other neighboring countries being annexed with few casualties, and noted that the surrounding small countries might be unified within two years.

• Rin brought Feng Ye yuzu tea and snacks, and playfully said she would make them only for him.
• A Shadow Guard reported that Kumogakure’s envoys had arrived, and Feng Ye instructed Rin to receive them.

Feng Ye considered the Cloud Ninja envoys’ likely scheme against the Hyuga Clan, then visited Kushina and Mikoto as they chatted about Naruto and Sasuke. Kushina expressed gratitude to Feng Ye and planned to return to ninja work once Naruto was old enough to start school.

• Feng Ye recalled how the Cloud Ninja could use Hinata’s third birthday and the Hyuga Clan’s rules to target the clan, but decided not to warn anyone unless they made a move.
• Feng Ye left a Shadow Clone in the Hokage Office and went to the Uchiha compound, where Kushina and Mikoto were discussing Naruto and Sasuke.
• Feng Ye told Mikoto he had come to check on Itachi’s training and reassured Kushina that she could ask Kakashi for help with any problems.
• Kushina told Mikoto she was grateful to Feng Ye and believed Minato’s decision had been right, then said she hoped to resume ninja work when Naruto turned five.
• Mikoto agreed that Feng Ye was a legendary Hokage, noting that even Hashirama had not tamed the Nine-Tails.

Naruto and Sasuke competed at shuriken throwing in the Uchiha Clan backyard while Feng Ye and Itachi watched. After Feng Ye left, the boys argued about his strength and nearly fought before Kushina and Mikoto sent them home.

• Naruto and Sasuke competed at shuriken throwing, with Sasuke outscoring Naruto.
• Feng Ye watched with Itachi, who observed that Naruto could match Sasuke with proper guidance.

• After Feng Ye and Itachi left, Naruto asked about their relationship, and Sasuke said Feng Ye was Itachi's teacher.
• Naruto and Sasuke argued about Feng Ye's strength and prepared to fight until Kushina and Mikoto arrived and told them to go home.

Feng Ye tested Itachi and approved him for the Shadow Guard's Third Division, then agreed to Hyuga Hiashi's request to hold Hinata's third birthday celebration within the clan. Meanwhile, Anko urged Kurenai to make a move on Feng Ye, leaving Kurenai flustered.

• Feng Ye defeated Itachi's attacks with one hand and approved his admission to the Shadow Guard's Third Division.
• Shikaku told Feng Ye that the Cloud Ninja envoys had arrived, and Feng Ye agreed to hold the celebration the following day.
• Anko urged Kurenai to act before Rin could win Feng Ye over, and Kurenai grew embarrassed as she listened.
• Feng Ye overheard their conversation, and Kurenai hurried to the kitchen when she saw him.
• Hyuga Hiashi asked to hold Hinata's third birthday celebration within the Hyuga Clan, and Feng Ye granted permission.

Feng Ye presided over Konoha’s celebration of peace, intimidating the Cloud Ninja envoys with the village’s strength before leaving early. At home, Kurenai Yuhi and Rin competed for his attention while Anko Mitarashi watched from hiding.

• Feng Ye greeted the Cloud Ninja delegation and reminded its leader that he had once fought the Raikage, leaving the envoys uneasy.
• A Cloud Ninja noticed the Hyuga Clan had skipped the celebration, and the delegation leader wondered whether Konoha had marginalized them.
• Feng Ye left the crowded celebration early and returned home for dinner.
• Kurenai Yuhi offered Feng Ye wine and spilled some on herself while Anko Mitarashi watched from her room.
• Rin came home, objected to the minors drinking, and exchanged a pointed gaze with Kurenai Yuhi after saying Kakashi had helped settle the Cloud Ninja envoys.

Feng Ye’s dinner gathering turned into two chaotic mahjong and card tables, until he sensed hostile intent outside and Kakashi used it as an excuse to leave. Kakashi tricked Konan into coming over, and Feng Ye told her to take his place at the table.

• Tsunade and Shizune arrived, Anko came out of hiding, and Feng Ye set up two tables for the gathering.
• The Nine-Tails played cards with Kakashi, Shizune, and Anko, loudly boasting until Shizune won the round.
• Feng Ye sensed hostile intent outside and said they would deal with it the next day.
• Kakashi slipped away to meet Konan on the roof and sent her to the Hokage Building under the pretense of an urgent mission.
• Konan arrived at Feng Ye’s house, where Feng Ye asked her to replace Kakashi at the card table.

After a late-night game, Feng Ye left early the next morning to address a crisis at the Hyuga Clan grounds. Hyuga Hiashi had killed a Cloud Ninja leader who was trying to abduct Hinata, and Konoha waited for Feng Ye to decide how to handle the incident.

• Feng Ye won most of the late-night games, while Konan took first place at the other table.
• Feng Ye woke on the sofa, spoke with Kurenai Yuhi, and left to deal with a problem that required him in person.
• At the Hyuga Clan grounds, Cloud Ninja accused Hyuga Hiashi of killing their captain and demanded that Konoha hold the clan responsible.
• Hyuga Hiashi explained that the Cloud Ninja leader had tried to abduct Hinata and appeared to freeze during his attack, leading him to suspect a frame-up.
• Shikaku Nara questioned Hinata and stalled for Feng Ye's arrival, while the examination confirmed that the captain died from a broken neck and ruptured blood vessels.

Feng Ye intervened after the Cloud Ninjas accused the Hyuga Clan of killing their captain, and he killed two Cloud envoys who demanded an explanation. He left the courtyard carrying Hinata after declaring that Konoha would stand behind its own ninja.

• Hyuga Hiashi questioned the corpse examiner, who confirmed the Cloud leader had died from Gentle Fist and showed no signs of manipulation.
• The Cloud Ninjas accused the Hyuga Clan of killing their captain, while Fugaku Uchiha and Shikaku Nara remained silent.
• Feng Ye arrived, comforted Hinata, and picked her up as the Cloud Ninjas demanded that the Hyuga Clan answer for the death.
• Feng Ye killed the Cloud Ninja who demanded an explanation and declared that Konoha stood behind its ninja.
• Feng Ye killed another Cloud Ninja who protested, then dismissed the gathering and carried Hinata inside.

Feng Ye protected the Hyuga Clan from the Cloud Ninja and discovered that Otsutsuki Hamura's Chakra had attached itself to Hinata. He told Hyuga Hiashi he would seal the Chakra until Hinata was old enough to learn to control it, then left to prepare the seal.

• Feng Ye carried Hinata away from the courtyard after resolving the conflict, while Hyuga Hiashi and Fugaku Uchiha reflected on his fair treatment of Konoha's clans.
• Feng Ye saw that a wisp of Otsutsuki Hamura's Chakra had attached itself to Hinata and decided to let her inherit it, while preventing it from controlling her.
• Hyuga Hiashi entered, and Feng Ye explained that his eyes came from Otsutsuki Hamura and that Hamura's Chakra had reincarnated through Hinata.
• Feng Ye told Hyuga Hiashi he would seal Hamura's Chakra until Hinata was old enough to learn to control it, and Hiashi gratefully accepted the plan.
• Feng Ye revealed that he had briefly controlled the Cloud Ninja the previous night after the Nine-Tails sensed his malicious intent, then left to devise Hinata's seal.

The Fourth Raikage accepted that Kumogakure could not challenge Konoha while Feng Ye remained alive, while Feng Ye developed a seal capable of containing Six Paths-level Chakra. After testing it on the Nine-Tails, he prepared to use the refined technique on Hinata’s Hamura Chakra.

• The Fourth Raikage raged over Konoha’s arrogance, but Dodai warned that Kumogakure could not win a war against Konoha and urged him to wait and rebuild.
• Feng Ye tested sealing formulas on a Wood Release clone, refining them until they could completely contain his Six Paths-level Chakra.
• Feng Ye named his new technique the Night Seal and adjusted it so its markings would gather onto a single strand of hair.
• Feng Ye tested the finished seal on the Nine-Tails, binding it into a ball and shrinking it into a strand of black hair on his head.

Feng Ye tested a seal on the Nine-Tails, then used his new sealing technique to contain Otsutsuki Hamura's Chakra within Hinata. After confirming she was unharmed, he sent her home with Hyuga Hiashi and advised him not to train her too harshly.

• Feng Ye released the Nine-Tails from a strand of hair to test his sealing technique, then placated it by promising twenty times its usual rice cakes and sake.

Feng Ye learned that Takigakure had nearly been destroyed after the Seven-Tails escaped during a Jinchuriki replacement, and he accepted the village’s surrender. He decided to travel to the Land of Falls with Kurenai Yuhi, intending to take control of the situation and consider making her the Seven-Tails’ Jinchuriki.

• Feng Ye read intelligence that Takigakure’s failed sealing attempt had freed the Seven-Tails and devastated the village.
