Konoha reinforcements arrived through the Flying Thunder God Squad’s teleportation technique, strengthening Minato Namikaze’s position against the Fourth Raikage and Deva Path Pain.

• Uchiha Fugaku insisted on being the first to teleport, then arrived and boldly declared that Konoha was taking over the battlefield.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hyuga Hiashi, Might Guy, and Choza Akimichi joined Minato, leaving the exhausted Flying Thunder God Squad behind.
• Minato demanded that Deva Path Pain release Orochimaru, and Fugaku attacked Pain with a Shuriken Shadow Clone technique before Pain repelled the shuriken with Shinra Tensei.

Uchiha Qingfeng awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan after the Remidia Cake triggered the power stored by his potions. He discovered that it granted Kamui in his left eye and Hiko-tsu-kami, a memory-sealing and altering ability, in his right, but he had not yet tested whether it could get him out of the spatial passage.

• Uchiha Qingfeng woke up in the spatial passage and shoved Jashin-chan off his chest.
• Uchiha Qingfeng questioned the System and learned that the Remidia Cake had acted as a catalyst for his Mangekyo awakening.

• Uchiha Qingfeng asked Jashin-chan whether his Mangekyo patterns matched, and she said they did but were complicated and ugly.

Uchiha Qingfeng discovered that his eyes had evolved into an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan with a time-based ocular technique he named Zafkiel, then used his abilities to hide a set of memories. He and Jashin-chan escaped the memory lake and returned to the Ninja World.

• Uchiha Qingfeng and Jashin-chan emerged from the lake water and escaped the memory realm.

After emerging from the lake, Uchiha Qingfeng learned that only a little over a year had passed and left the cave with Jashin-chan and the two Tailed Beasts. He awakened his Complete Body Susanoo and flew off to see what had changed in the Ninja World, while Obito secretly followed Nagato to the Land of Rice.

• Little Two-Tails and Little Seven-Tails waited anxiously for Qingfeng and Jashin-chan, then hibernated after sealing the cave entrance.
• Qingfeng emerged from the lake, learned that over a year had passed, and rushed out of the cave with Jashin-chan and the two Tailed Beasts.

• Qingfeng told the gathered fighters that the place was lively but would not remain so for long.

Uchiha Qingfeng and Minato Namikaze took control of the battlefield after the Fourth Raikage’s failed attempt to kill the Hokage. The Raikage agreed to pay Konoha one billion, while Minato kept his companions and Killer B in custody until the money arrived.

• Uchiha Qingfeng announced that Konoha had taken over the battlefield, and Minato Namikaze let Deva Path Pain leave after Pain said he had only come to rescue Qingfeng.
• Minato Namikaze confronted the Fourth Raikage and Killer B over their attack, then had the captured Konoha ninja brought over and checked by Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi.
• After confirming that the Konoha ninja were alive, Minato demanded compensation for the assassination attempt and secured the Raikage’s written IOU for one billion.
• Minato allowed the Fourth Raikage to return to the Land of Lightning alone to collect the money, while ordering his guards and Killer B to remain in custody.
• Killer B nervously rapped about Konoha and the billion, and the Fourth Raikage knocked off his sunglasses with a slap.

Uchiha Qingfeng effortlessly countered Killer B’s Eight-Tails and defeated it, then used Sharingan Genjutsu to control a smaller Eight-Tails clone. He left the Fourth Raikage to fetch the ransom while taking the clone into Susanoo’s crystal.

• Killer B ignored the Eight-Tails’ warnings and transformed, firing a Tailed Beast Ball at Uchiha Qingfeng.

• Uchiha Qingfeng taunted the Fourth Raikage and made him choose between paying compensation or losing Killer B and the Eight-Tails, so the Raikage left.

• Minato Namikaze asked about Qingfeng’s human-bodied, snake-tailed companion, and Qingfeng introduced her as Little Evil God before she declared herself a god.

• Killer B traveled quietly beside Qingfeng, while the little Eight-Tails remained free near him and did not want to rejoin its main body.

Uchiha Itachi questioned Uchiha Qingfeng about Sharingan evolution, and Qingfeng’s hints led him to realize that awakening stronger eyes required unbearable trauma. As Qingfeng’s group continued toward Konoha under Obito’s surveillance, the Fourth Raikage reluctantly prepared a billion-ryo payment to recover his captured men and the Eight-Tails.

• Uchiha Itachi asked Uchiha Qingfeng whether the Sharingan could evolve beyond the Three Divine Artifacts, and Qingfeng warned him that he would not want the eyes.
• Uchiha Itachi inferred that Sharingan evolution required the severe injury, loss, or abduction of someone important and decided he did not want such power.

• The injured Leaf Village Anbu recovered enough to travel using Chakra, while the Fourth Raikage returned to Cloud Village.
• The Fourth Raikage summoned Mabui and withdrew one billion ryo to pay for the release of the Eight-Tails and his guards.

The Fourth Raikage rushed toward Konoha to protect Kumogakure’s captured guards and limit the damage from their defeat. Minato and the others returned safely with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, while Konoha’s leaders agreed to ransom him and went home.

• Mabui used the Heavenly Transfer Technique to send the Fourth Raikage toward Konoha, and he left instructions for Darui to become the Fifth Raikage if he did not return.

• Uchiha Itachi had witnessed Fugaku’s uncharacteristically wild behavior during the mission but pretended he knew nothing.

• Uchiha Qingfeng refused to return the Eight-Tails' severed part, saying it was payment for the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki attacking him.
• The Eight-Tails said it did not want the severed part back, and the Fourth Raikage left with his people.

After returning to Leaf Village, Uchiha Qingfeng collected a small mission reward and rejected Minato Namikaze’s offer to buy his Tailed Beast companions. He then traveled to Mount Myōboku, where Sage Fukasaku confronted him about neglecting his Sage Mode training and told him the Great Toad Sage still had not awakened.

• Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima praised Qingfeng's exceptional Sage Mode before he returned to Leaf Village.

Uchiha Qingfeng returned to find his Veterinarian Shop packed with friends while Obito tried to slip away under the cover of being a customer. Qingfeng recognized the danger of letting him escape and held on, insisting they go treat Obito’s supposedly injured cat.
