When Feng An returned home, he found Hinata deep in meditation, approaching a vast stone statue of Otsutsuki Hamura in her consciousness as it responded to her.

• Feng An used Kotoamatsukami on Jiraiya and made him support Feng An becoming the Sixth Hokage and urge him to knock Tsunade over.

• Hinata cautiously moved toward the statue, which lowered and opened its right hand as her violet Chakra radiance grew brighter.

Hinata touched the horn atop Otsutsuki Hamura’s statue and became trapped as it drained her Chakra. Feng An entered her deep consciousness world and used his life-filled trees to replenish her Chakra, but the statue continued absorbing it, and a glow began pulsing in its chest.

• The statue carried Hinata to its head, where she touched its horn and became unable to release it as it drained her Chakra.

• Feng An took Hinata’s hand and demanded to know why Hamura had absorbed her Chakra.
• Hamura said the statue had absorbed Chakra passively, but Feng An still asked him how he planned to compensate them, leaving Hinata dumbfounded.

With Jiraiya unable to summon toads and Naruto also at Mount Myōboku, Feng An stayed to learn its sage arts while the Great Toad Sage sought another way to send him home.
