Uchiha Qingfeng visited Stone Village and proposed a personal deal with Ōnoki involving portions of Iwagakure’s Tailed Beasts, but Ōnoki rejected it after learning how to save a Jinchuriki whose Tailed Beast was extracted. Qingfeng realized he had revealed a valuable secret without gaining anything.

• Ōnoki took Qingfeng to the Tsuchikage Building, where he demanded to know why Qingfeng had come to Stone Village.
• Qingfeng said he wanted to check whether Orochimaru was there and meet the village’s two Jinchuriki, prompting Ōnoki to accuse him of targeting Iwagakure’s Tailed Beasts.
• Qingfeng offered to borrow portions of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails’ Chakra in his personal capacity, while leaving ownership with Iwagakure.
• Qingfeng explained that resealing some of a Tailed Beast’s Chakra into a Jinchuriki soon after extraction could prevent their death, citing Kushina Uzumaki’s survival after the Nine-Tails’ rampage.
• Ōnoki rejected the deal, reasoning that Iwagakure could use the secret without relying on Qingfeng, and Qingfeng concluded that he had given away valuable information for nothing.

Uchiha Qingfeng left Iwagakure with Deidara and met the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki in a valley, claiming he had come to help them coexist with their Tailed Beasts.

• Qingfeng cast a genjutsu that transported Orochimaru to a black-and-white space above a lake so they could speak privately.
