• The messenger told Yahiko and the others that Feng Ye had entered Amegakure alone and killed Hanzo, leaving the room stunned.
• News spread that Feng Ye had destroyed Amegakure, shaking the entire ninja world.

• Orochimaru explained that the Sand Shinobi’s border deployment had forced Konoha to divert troops from its struggle against the Stone Shinobi.

• Danzo told Orochimaru that Hanzo was dead and Amegakure had collapsed.

• Ōnoki pulled Iwagakure’s frontline forces back after learning Feng Ye had destroyed Amegakure, while Rasa left the Sand Shinobi at the border to serve as dissidents he planned to eliminate.
• Feng Ye went to a valley in the Land of Rain and reflected on the lingering mental effects of dispersing more than a thousand Shadow Clones.
• Feng Ye decided to avoid pursuing the retreating Stone Shinobi and instead study the Lightning Release Secret Technique.
• Feng Ye planned to use Lightning Release Chakra to temper his body and make opening the Eight Gates easier.

Feng Ye perfected the Lightning Release Body Forging Secret Technique through trial and error, then used it to temper his body at Quintuple Speed. The training improved his compatibility with Lightning Release and gave him hope of opening the Eighth Gate.

• Feng Ye repeatedly tested different amounts of lightning-nature Chakra, using Time Reversal to heal the injuries caused by excessive power.
• After half a day, Feng Ye found a safe Chakra amount and began tempering his body with lightning, cultivating under his newly increased Quintuple Speed.
• Three days later, Feng Ye completed the first stage, raised the lightning intensity, and continued training.
• After half a month, Feng Ye found that body tempering reduced the damage from Eight Gates Lightning Release enough for him to withstand the Fourth Gate without Time Reversal.
• Feng Ye concluded that the secret technique could help him open the later gates and eventually reach the Eighth Gate.

Feng Ye spent several months training until his Lightning Release Body Forging Secret Technique brought him close to Kage-level strength, while the other ninja villages stayed cautious after he killed Hanzo.
