• Feng An sensed few Chakra fluctuations near Cloud Village, redirected his journey there, and promised himself he would only take a look.

Feng An arrived at the ruins of Cloud Village and learned that a flying attacker and a falling meteor had destroyed it. After Feng An cleared the rubble with a Wind Style technique and left, two scavengers realized he might be the legendary Red-Haired Demon.

• Feng An entered Cloud Village and found it reduced to ruins, with two men searching through the debris.
• One scavenger told Feng An that a man had flown in and a meteor had destroyed the village, while the other said Iwagakure had looted much of it.
• Feng An used Wind Style: Great Breakthrough to clear the heavy debris without stripping away the ground.
• The two men marveled at Feng An's power and hurried to search the newly exposed ruins.
• The second scavenger recognized Feng An's red hair and said he had flown away, leading the men to suspect he was the legendary Red-Haired Demon.

Feng An found Kabuto Yakushi’s corpse beneath the meteorite Madara Uchiha had dropped, then traveled to Iwagakure to search for Dust Release. He left Shadow Clones to comb the mountains and headed toward one that had found a likely hiding place.

• Feng An split the meteorite with Earth Style: Rock Fist and discovered Kabuto Yakushi’s corpse beneath it.
• Feng An stored Kabuto Yakushi’s corpse in the Kamui Dimension and decided to focus on finding Dust Release rather than interfere with Madara Uchiha.
• Feng An used Flying Thunder God to travel to Iwagakure, leaving more than a thousand marks across the Shinobi World along the way.
• Feng An sent nearly a thousand Shadow Clones to search the surrounding mountains for records of Dust Release.
• Feng An spotted Kurotsuchi sneaking into the Tsuchikage’s office building, then learned that one of his Shadow Clones had found a possible hiding place for Dust Release.

Feng An deciphered the mural’s proportions for combining Earth, Wind, and Fire Chakra to create Dust Release, while Kurotsuchi searched for the same secret but could not understand it. After she left, Feng An destroyed the mural to keep anyone else from learning the technique.

• Feng An dismissed his Shadow Clones and found a mural marked with symbols for Earth, Wind, and Fire alongside clusters of black dots.
• Kurotsuchi searched the Tsuchikage’s office, then remembered another place she often visited and headed to a mountain cave.
• Feng An deduced that the dots meant six parts Earth Chakra, two parts Wind Chakra, and two parts Fire Chakra.
• Kurotsuchi found the mural but could not understand it, and she left the cave without learning Dust Release.
• Feng An destroyed the mural with a Rasengan so no one else could learn Dust Release.

Feng An returned home after practicing Dust Release, while Sasuke challenged Naruto to a fight and nearly struck him with Chidori.

• Kakashi raised an Earth Flow Wall to stop Sasuke's Chidori, then took Naruto to the Hokage's office.
• Tsunade told Naruto that the Miko of the Land of Demons had reported a possible search for the sealed Box of Paradise and warned that Naruto might die.

Tsunade told Naruto that the Miko of the Land of Demons had prophesied his death and explained that he could avert it only by staying near Miko Shion, though doing so would put him in danger. Naruto accepted the mission, and Feng An agreed to join Team 7 to protect him, but he set a condition.

• Tsunade and Kakashi confirmed that the Miko of the Land of Demons had foretold Naruto's death, and Tsunade explained that avoiding Shion would cause her to die in his place.
• Naruto chose to go to the Land of Demons and protect Shion despite the prophecy.
• Tsunade assigned Team 7 to protect Shion, help seal the demonic creatures, and protect Naruto while trying to break the prophecy.
• Tsunade summoned Feng An and asked him to accompany Kakashi's Team 7 to the Land of Demons and keep Naruto safe.
• Feng An agreed to the mission but said he had one condition.

Feng An asked Tsunade to let Hinata Hyuga accompany him on a mission to the Land of Demons, then visited Killer B in the dungeon to speak with the Eight-Tails, Gyuki. He offered Gyuki a place in his own body and said he wanted to become the Sage of Six Paths, leaving Gyuki considering his confidence.

• Feng An asked Tsunade to bring Hinata Hyuga along on his mission to the Land of Demons, and she agreed.
• Feng An asked to see Killer B, and Tsunade brought him to the dungeon and opened the cell.

• Feng An fought off Gyuki's attack and surprised the Eight-Tails with his enormous Chakra.
• Feng An offered to let Gyuki use his body without Sealing Jutsu and said he wanted to become the Sage of Six Paths.

Feng An freed Gyuki from Killer B and sealed the Eight-Tails into his own body. Tsunade called in Konoha’s forces, but after seeing Feng An subdue Gyuki alone, she dismissed most of them and left Sai on standby.

• Feng An persuaded Gyuki to help him become the Sage of Six Paths and promised to free him from Killer B.
• Feng An broke Killer B’s seal with his Adamantine Sealing Chains, and Gyuki emerged, refusing to enter Feng An’s body willingly.
• Feng An restrained Gyuki with his chains and knocked him unconscious with the Coffin Jutsu before drawing him into his own body.
• Tsunade summoned Elephant, the Anbu, and the Sealing Squad, then sent everyone away except Sai after Feng An brought Gyuki under control.
• Sai arrived and asked whether he was supposed to seal Feng An, but Tsunade told him to stay ready to help suppress Gyuki if needed.

Feng An extracted the Eight-Tails Gyuki from Killer B and sealed it inside himself using Adamantine Sealing Chains. After leaving the dungeon, he told Tsunade he would handle the matter in the Land of Demons and departed to find Kakashi.

• Feng An suppressed the Eight-Tails Gyuki with Adamantine Sealing Chains, broke it down into Chakra, and transferred it into his body.
• Tsunade and Sai watched in disbelief as Feng An sealed the Eight-Tails within himself.
• The Eight-Tails Gyuki awoke in Feng An’s consciousness space, realized it was no longer inside Killer B, and attacked Feng An’s phantom.
• Feng An removed the Black Rods from Killer B, whose body fell dead to the dungeon floor.
• Feng An told Tsunade he would take care of the Land of Demons matter and left using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Feng An brought Eight-Tails Gyuki back and let Two-Tails Matatabi enter his consciousness to meet him. Matatabi challenged Gyuki to reconsider his bond with his Jinchuriki, leaving him stunned by the idea that he had imprisoned himself.

• Tsunade ordered Sai to bury the dead Killer B and went to deal with Ōnoki's hunger strike.
• Feng An told Two-Tails Matatabi and Hinata Hyuga that Eight-Tails Gyuki was inside him temporarily, and Matatabi asked to visit him.
• Feng An allowed Matatabi into his consciousness, where she stopped Gyuki from surging out.
• Matatabi argued that Gyuki had mistaken the companionship of his Jinchuriki for friendship and had locked himself in the prison of his own heart.
• Gyuki was left stunned as Matatabi told him that he, not the humans, had shut the prison of a Jinchuriki.

Matatabi tried to persuade Eight-Tails Gyuki that living with Feng An would be freer and more comfortable than staying with Killer B. Gyuki was shocked to learn that Feng An let Matatabi live independently with only a few restrictions.

• Matatabi told Gyuki she had chosen to leave Yugito Nii and trusted Feng An, whom she described as the strongest person alive.
• Gyuki questioned whether Matatabi had merely traded one cage for another, and Matatabi insisted Feng An did not restrain her.
• Matatabi claimed Feng An would defeat Hashirama Senju in a six-four split, with Feng An taking six.
• Matatabi urged Gyuki to follow Feng An, promising he would have chances to go outside as long as he obeyed him.
• Matatabi explained that Feng An let her live independently and only asked her not to destroy the village and to stay in a smaller form outside when possible.
• Gyuki reacted in disbelief that Feng An allowed a tailed beast so much freedom.

Matatabi told Gyuki about the freedom and trust she experienced living with Feng An, but Gyuki refused to believe her and resolved to provoke Hinata. Watching Feng An, Hinata, and Matatabi share a meal and wash dishes, Gyuki was bewildered by Matatabi’s happiness and insisted it was all a trap.

• Matatabi explained to Gyuki that Feng An trusted her and warned him not to provoke Hinata, or he would die for real.
• Matatabi returned to Feng An and told him about her conversation with Gyuki; he let her keep her privacy and listened when she chose to share.
• Hinata called Feng An and Matatabi to eat, and the three shared a meal together.
• Gyuki watched them eat, dismissed the food as beneath tailed beasts, then suspected it was poisoned when he found himself wanting to taste it.
• Gyuki expected Matatabi to return to a cage after dinner, but saw her happily join Feng An and Hinata in washing the dishes.

Gyuki watched Matatabi sleep and grew envious, then Feng An let him out of his body. Gyuki emerged at full size, so Feng An subdued and beat him until he agreed to shrink.

• Matatabi settled into her sleeping nook while Gyuki watched and complained that she had become careless.
• Feng An left the house, used his Adamantine Sealing Chains to pull Gyuki out, and Gyuki emerged in his massive form, crushing the trees around them.
• Feng An used Sage Mode, the Wood Human, and Great Corpse Reincarnation to restrain Gyuki after he ignored the order to shrink.
• Feng An sat on Gyuki and struck him repeatedly until Gyuki begged him to stop and promised to shrink.
• Gyuki realized he should shrink himself, and Feng An stopped his next punch and stood up.

Feng An let the Eight-Tails Gyuki roam freely, but Gyuki mistook his permission for a trap and eventually tried to escape toward the Land of Lightning. Feng An caught up with him and brought him back to bask in the sun, leaving Gyuki awkwardly correcting his excuse about the weather.

• Feng An forced the Eight-Tails Gyuki to shrink to a small octopus, then left him free to enjoy the scenery or sunlight.
• Gyuki stayed put, suspecting Feng An was testing him, while Feng An returned home, sensed him with Mind's Eye of the Kagura, and fell asleep.
• After waking, Gyuki found Feng An absent and ran toward the Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning, deciding he had never promised to stay.
• Feng An sensed Gyuki leaving and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear beside him.
• Gyuki claimed he had only been going to bask in the sun, and Feng An allowed him five minutes before taking him back.
• When the sunlight shifted, Gyuki blamed the weather and fell silent after Feng An corrected his proverb.

Feng An and Hinata joined Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke on their mission to the Land of Demons, traveling by Flying Thunder God to Iwagakure before continuing on foot. The group set out for the distant Land of Demons after Feng An stopped Naruto and Sasuke from fighting.

• Eight-Tails Gyuki returned to Feng An's body, and Feng An went home to meet Hinata.
• Matatabi entered Hinata's consciousness, and Feng An teleported them to Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke; Kakashi said Sakura could not join them.
• Feng An repeatedly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to take the group to Iwagakure, where he explained he could not teleport farther without marked locations.

Kakashi and his team met the Miko Shion in the Country of Demons and set out with her for the Country of Swamps despite a tense argument over her treatment of shinobi. In the Country of Swamps, Yomi sent four men to kill Shion.

• Kakashi presented Tsunade’s documents at Shion’s residence, and Shion ordered the group to depart immediately for the Country of Swamps.
• Shion warned Naruto Uzumaki that her prophecy predicted his death and demanded that Feng An and Hinata Hyuga bow to her.
• Feng An refused to bow, and Naruto Uzumaki protested Shion’s arrogance before the group reached a reconciliation.
• Shion warned that she would report the incident to the daimyo of the Land of Fire and their Kage, then set out with the group as night fell.
• Yomi sensed that Shion had departed and sent four men to kill her.

Feng An and Kakashi guarded Shion’s group overnight on the journey to the Country of Swamps. In the morning, Shion woke from a prophecy of Tani’s death, and Hinata spotted several figures rushing toward them earlier than Feng An expected.

• Naruto complained about the travel schedule while Feng An told Hinata that danger would come, though he concealed that he expected it the next day.
• The group made camp for the night, and Kakashi and Feng An stayed awake to guard everyone while Sasuke listened to their conversation.
• Sasuke wondered why Kakashi treated Feng An as an equal and wanted to earn that kind of recognition himself.
• Shion woke shaken by a dream of Tani dying and told him to return, but Tani insisted on continuing his duty as her guard.
• The group prepared to set out, and Hinata spotted several figures approaching as Feng An questioned whether events had changed from what he remembered.
