Chapter Summaries

Sun Keiyun learned from Zhou Min about Wuchu’s history and the Land of Wind’s political and economic problems. After seeing widespread poverty and disorder in the capital, Sun Keiyun concluded that the Land of Wind could only be saved through unification with the ninja world.

• Zhou Min described Wuchu’s geography and history, including how the Zili Clan and Mingshan Clan came to dominate the Land of Wind.
• Zhou Min explained that the two great families effectively controlled funding for Sunagakure and that Wuchu’s population and service economy had grown as desertification and border conflicts pushed people into the city.

• Sun Keiyun reasoned that the Land of Wind’s failing economy and political leadership could not resolve its problems, and concluded that unification was the only solution.

Sun Keiyun arranged for the Great Harmony Society to launch an uprising in Wuchu that night, before the daimyo could establish a new ninja village. As the city’s people and supplies quietly gathered, the Land of Wind’s capital failed to recognize the threat.

• Zhou Min told Sun Keiyun that the Great Harmony Society could mobilize hundreds of thousands of people and had gained the Wuchu governor’s support by improving order and employment.

• Sun Keiyun proposed talking to Shinnō first, believing that resolving his lingering obsession might end his revenge plan.

Sun Keiyun studied new Divine Words from the Sky Fortress and assigned Cang Wen two aerial fortress projects, including a powerful orbital headquarters called South Heaven Gate.

Bai Ou brought the Cloud Eagle Corps to the Sky Fortress to begin delivering the Great Harmony Daily and advised its staff to make the Great Harmony Society’s emergence the first issue’s front-page story. Ma Gongde took over as lead writer, and the newspaper’s headline was set, though the article still needed Bai Ou’s review.

• Bai Ou gathered more than 8,600 Cloud Eagles, and he and Golden Wind led them from the Land of Birds to the Sky Fortress.
• Ma Gongde welcomed Bai Ou and Golden Wind, then brought Bai Ou to the editorial department to advise on the newspaper’s first issue.
• The editorial staff argued over whether the fall of the Land of Wind or the deaths of several famous ninja leaders deserved the front page.
• Bai Ou argued that the Land of Wind’s fall should lead because the newspaper served ordinary people and because the Great Harmony Society needed to announce its existence and spread its ideals.

After learning how the Third Raikage died, A wanted revenge on Iwagakure, but strategist C redirected Kumogakure’s plans toward the Land of Fire and the Great Harmony Society. C then proposed banning the Society’s newspapers and manipulating it into creating a ninja village allied with Kumogakure, while A appointed C’s daughter Samui as his secretary.

• A learned from the newspaper that Iwagakure had exhausted and humiliated the Third Raikage before he died, and he demanded an immediate invasion of the Land of Earth.

The Great Harmony Society expanded rapidly across the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire, while Miura Yamato’s investigation revealed its widespread influence and hundreds of thousands of organized workers in Kyoto. The Land of Fire sought Konoha’s help, but Orochimaru refused to intervene in what he called an internal conflict.

• Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure held back while the Great Harmony Society advanced through the Land of Wind, crushing bandits and desert raiders and causing the Bounty Exchange to suspend related missions.

• Miura Yamato learned that some families refused to participate and that Orochimaru had proposed recruiting troops and appointing city and district leaders to defend their territories.

• Tsunade urged the Great Harmony Society to expand more aggressively, but Yakushi Nonō argued that it should keep building strength and manage the Evil God Army carefully.
