• Qingfeng explained that Kakashi, the Fourth Hokage, and the Uchiha Clan Head had bought the remaining pills, and Orochimaru accepted his account for the time being.

Orochimaru pressured Kakashi into handing over four Soldier Pills, while Kakashi left Qingfeng a million ryo to make up for their value. Qingfeng discovered the System had assigned him a mandatory mission to help the Fourth Hokage regain power, then found that his window had no glass.

• Orochimaru demanded Kakashi’s remaining Soldier Pills for research, and Qingfeng persuaded Kakashi to hand over the four he had.

• Qingfeng tried to abandon the System mission to help the Fourth Hokage regain power, but the System rejected his attempt and forced him to accept it.
• Qingfeng considered how difficult it would be to restore Minato to power, then discovered that his window had no glass.

Qingfeng watched Trident recruit the boys in his class and learned that they planned to unify the Ninja Academy by taking on sixth-year students. The class looked to Qingfeng as their boss, while Anko wrestled with whether to confess that she had removed the glass from his bedroom window.

• Qingfeng observed how the students had settled into school life, including Itachi's fixation on Uchiha Izumi and Iruka's eager socializing.

• Trident called Qingfeng their boss and led the boys out to fight, prompting the class to look to Qingfeng.
• Anko thought about returning the glass she had removed from Qingfeng's window, while remaining conflicted about his having taken her seat.

Uchiha Qingfeng tried to avoid being treated as the Trident’s boss while his classmates reported the group’s fight with the sixth-years. He finally went to break up the brawl, but his classmates rallied behind him and demanded retaliation.

• Qingfeng refused Itachi’s suggestion to inspect the Trident’s confrontation with the sixth-years, hoping the students would settle it without bloodshed.
• Classmates repeatedly reported that the Trident had stormed the sixth-year classroom and started a brawl, drawing more students out to watch.
• Anko called Qingfeng out as the Trident’s boss and urged him to save his underlings, so he went with Itachi to stop the fight.
• Qingfeng and Itachi found the Trident and their classmates thrown outside, with the sixth-years having beaten them but left them with only superficial injuries.
• The boys gathered behind Qingfeng and declared him the Ninja Academy’s boss, while Qingfeng told them to return to class and his classmates demanded that they teach the sixth-years a lesson.

Uchiha Qingfeng was challenged by the sixth-years after the Trident’s brawl, and he sent Itachi to fight them instead. Itachi defeated the group with Shadow Clones, but the spectators kept calling him One-Against-Seven and added a new teasing nickname.

• Yoshizo challenged Qingfeng to fight, and Qingfeng mocked him for picking on first-years and being a repeater.
• Qingfeng dodged Yoshizo’s punch and told the sixth-years to attack him together, then stepped aside and sent Itachi in.

• The sixth-years pinned down Itachi’s Shadow Clone, which dispersed, while Itachi remained standing and Yoshizo clutched his injured nose.
• The spectators praised Itachi as One-Against-Seven, and Qingfeng called him forever single, leaving Itachi annoyed by the nickname.

After Itachi defeated the sixth-years, the students credited Qingfeng and began treating him as the Ninja Academy’s boss. Their attempt to dominate the school was stopped by Teacher Hayama, but Qingfeng still left to a chorus of greetings that made him regret his new reputation.

• Itachi defeated the sixth-years, and Uchiha Ishi declared Qingfeng the Ninja Academy’s boss.
• Gekko Hayate made Yoshizo greet the Trident members as brothers while Qingfeng imagined writing popular novels to earn money.

• Uchiha Ishi claimed the class takeover had been meant as a surprise for Qingfeng, preserving Qingfeng’s reputation with the Third Hokage.
• Qingfeng hurried out of the academy after school, but students called him Boss as he left.

Uchiha Qingfeng and Uchiha Itachi agreed to use Shadow Clones for school after the trouble at the Ninja Academy, while Inuzuka Hana wondered how far behind them she had fallen. Once his visitors left, Qingfeng tried to open the System and was told his inventory was near its weight limit.

• Uchiha Itachi told Uchiha Qingfeng he wanted to attend school with a Shadow Clone after the campus fight, and Qingfeng agreed that both of them would do so until the graduation exam.
• Uchiha Qingfeng and Uchiha Itachi blamed the four “Trident” brothers for causing trouble and discussed teaching them a lesson.
• Inuzuka Hana silently compared her abilities with the boys’ and wished she could learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
• Inuzuka Hana and Uchiha Itachi left Uchiha Qingfeng’s room, and Qingfeng returned to the Pharmacy to use his saved Gold Coins.
• Uchiha Qingfeng opened the System and received a warning that his inventory was about to exceed its weight limit.

Qingfeng spent most of his savings on increasingly costly inventory upgrades so he could use the lottery, then drew several skills, supplies, and potions. The chapter ended with him deciding to take a newly acquired Warrior's Mental Stimulant Potion together with his Mental Stimulant Potion.

• Qingfeng upgraded his inventory, learned each upgrade added only one slot, and failed to get a refund through the System's designated counter in Afghanistan.
• Qingfeng recharged more taels as the upgrade price rose from one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand and then three hundred thousand taels, clearing enough inventory space to access the lottery.
• Qingfeng used his remaining Gold Coins on the lottery and received Swift Shadow Hand, Instant Slash, food, several potions, and repeated Forward Slash prizes.
• Qingfeng obtained a Warrior's Mental Stimulant Potion whose description recommended taking it with Mental Stimulant Potion, and he decided to try the combination.

After taking a Warrior's Mental Stimulant Potion, Qingfeng stayed awake and went rooftop training, prompting Anbu and the Leaf Village Military Police Force to chase him as a suspected intruder. He escaped by summoning Sven and using a sword technique to propel himself into the sky, leaving his pursuers stunned.

• Qingfeng found that combining the Warrior's Mental Stimulant Potion with his usual potion sharpened his mind but made his mental pain twice as intense, so he sent Shadow Clone One to handle the next day's Ninja Academy trip and went out to train.
• Qingfeng ran across Leaf Village rooftops, and Anbu and the Leaf Village Military Police Force spotted him and began pursuing him toward the forest.
• Qingfeng realized the growing crowd behind him included several Anbu and feared being recognized, so he summoned Sven and shared vision with the Crow.
• Qingfeng drew the Rusted Katana and used “Follow the swift wind—Forward Slash,” causing Sven to fly rapidly as Qingfeng rose into the sky.
• The pursuing Ninjas watched Qingfeng fly away and wondered whether he had used a Wind Release Ninjutsu.

Qingfeng used his leveled-up Forward Slash to escape pursuit and descend safely, but found himself in the Death Forest. After beating and shaving a black bear, he spotted the Central Tower and headed back toward the village.

• Qingfeng used Forward Slash to escape the Anbu and Leaf Village Military Police Force Ninja, then released Sven when the crow could not keep up.
• Qingfeng slowed his fall with Forward Slash and landed in a forest he suspected was the Death Forest.
• A black bear attacked Qingfeng, who drove it back with Konoha Violent Whirlwind and shaved off most of its fur before leaving it alive.
• Qingfeng realized he had run in the wrong direction when he saw the Central Tower, then cut a path through the Death Forest toward the Pharmacy.

Qingfeng returned to the Pharmacy after his nighttime escapade, while Shisui’s Anbu squad tracked his trail and found the battered, shaved bear he had left behind. With patrols still active, Qingfeng stayed indoors, experimented with Fire Style and the Rasengan, and ended the night determined to master both Chidori and Rasengan.

• Qingfeng sneaked back into the Pharmacy, dispelled his sleeping Shadow Clone, and worried that his rooftop escape might cause the village to lock down.
• Shisui and the Anbu followed Qingfeng’s trail through the Death Forest and found the black bear he had beaten and shaved.
• Shisui assigned the rest of his squad to bring the frightened bear to the village, then pursued Qingfeng’s trail back toward Konoha.
• Shisui lost Qingfeng’s trail inside the village and concluded that the bear was their only lead for identifying suspects.
• Qingfeng used Fire Style to dry his hair, burned its ends, and cut them off while deciding not to practice Ninjutsu outside as patrols continued.
• Qingfeng tried forming a Rasengan with one hand, caused it to explode harmlessly, and resolved that he wanted both Chidori and Rasengan.

After wrecking his bedroom while testing ninjutsu, Qingfeng saw Kakashi arrive to check on him after an enemy ninja infiltrated Konoha. Qingfeng returned Kakashi’s Chidori scroll, then followed him to a training ground to demonstrate his technique.

• Qingfeng concluded that he could not use Chidori and Rasengan at the same time, and found his bedroom and chair destroyed by his experiments.
• Kakashi visited Qingfeng’s pharmacy to make sure he was safe and warned him to stay indoors at night while Konoha searched for an enemy spy.
• Qingfeng returned the Chidori scroll to Kakashi and said he had nearly mastered the technique.
• Kakashi took Qingfeng to a nearby training ground and asked him to attack at full strength.
• Qingfeng concealed lightning within his body and formed Chidori in his left hand, surprising Kakashi with a technique reminiscent of Kumogakure’s Lightning Release.
