Chapter Summaries

Yunqing reflected on how powerful the current ninja world was and concluded that the Land of Rain had little chance of rising between the great villages. At First Ray of Sky, he and Sāmon considered how heroes on opposing sides pursued their convictions, leaving their conflict rooted in their positions.

• Yunqing settled into his room while Pakura noticed the stationed Sunagakure ninja’s admiration for him.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi received news of Yunqing’s arrival and decided that he, Minato Namikaze, and Hatake Sakumo could travel leisurely as long as they did not arrive last.
• Minato Namikaze cautioned that delaying might affect important matters, but Hiruzen Sarutobi argued the summit likely concerned future events rather than an immediate crisis.
• Hatake Sakumo avoided joining their discussion and worried about surviving another dangerous meeting with the Third Kazekage.

After the Kage arrived in the Land of Iron, Yunqing punished the late-arriving Kumogakure delegation with a brutal beating. The Third Raikage and his companions recovered overnight while the other Kage witnessed the gap in Yunqing’s strength and exchanged barbs with Kumogakure.

• Hanzo of the Salamander praised Ayu, while the first-generation Kage examined their prosperous villages’ finances and regretted not taking the Daimyo’s wealth for themselves.
