Chapter Summaries

• Feng claimed that his grandmother had been cousins with Tōka Senju, prompting Tsunade to declare that they were relatives.

Feng received news that Orochimaru planned to strike during Konoha’s Chūnin Exams and that the Fourth Raikage had lost both arms. He ordered an invasion of the Land of Crafts, then changed the plan after recalling Takumi Village’s chakra-absorbing armor and Seimei’s revival, deciding to go there himself.

• Tsunade blamed Feng for her gambling losses, while Feng insisted he was waiting for news and gave Shizune some of his winnings before Izumi arrived.
• Izumi reported that Orochimaru wanted to act during Konoha’s Chūnin Exams and offered to arrange an advance infiltration; Feng accepted and told her to arrange it for his squad.
• Izumi reported that the Xuanyuan Group had nearly killed the Fourth Raikage, who survived but lost his remaining arm, leaving Kumogakure occupied with choosing a successor.
• Feng ordered Inabi Uchiha and Kirisame Tomoshu to conquer the Land of Crafts, assigned fleets to blockade its northern and eastern waters, and arranged for the Land of Water and Kirigakure to prepare for the takeover.
• Feng consulted his notebook about the Land of Crafts and found records of Takumi Village’s chakra-absorbing armor and Seimei’s revival, so he ordered Izumi to delay the invasion until he arrived.

Feng’s forces conquered Takumi Village, and Feng questioned the Four Celestial Symbols Men about Seimei’s resurrection method. Hoki pledged loyalty to Feng, who tacitly accepted him and ordered him to explain what he knew about Seimei.

• Inabi Uchiha replicated Feng’s takeover of Sea Country’s capital and continued his campaign in the Land of Crafts while Feng headed for Takumi Village.

• Hoki, Kujaku, and Suiko stepped forward, and Hoki described Seimei as ambitious and asked how far Feng intended to go.
• Hoki pledged loyalty to Feng, who tacitly accepted him and told him to continue explaining Seimei’s resurrection.

Feng learned that Takumi Village’s Shrike Armor could revive its creator, Seimei, by sacrificing a living person, and agreed to use it to bring him back. After Hoki sacrificed himself, Seimei emerged from the stone coffin.

• Hoki explained that the Shrike Armor could absorb chakra, unleash elemental attacks, and revive Seimei through a willing sacrifice, but no one in Takumi Village could forge it.
• Feng decided to revive Seimei, hoping to use his craftsmanship to reproduce the armor, and Hoki eagerly offered himself as the sacrifice.
• Feng ordered Mei Terumi to watch over the preparations and supplied the armor with chakra borrowed from the Nine-Tails.
• Two days later, the Four Celestial Symbols Men assembled the Shrike Armor on Hoki and attached its swords.
• Hoki performed the revival ritual and turned to ash as the coffin lit up; Seimei then stepped out of it.

Feng returned to Konoha with Mangetsu, Kimimaro, and Haku to enter the Joint Chūnin Exams as Sound ninja and prepare to exploit the chaos of Orochimaru’s attack. As they surveyed the village, an indignant voice challenged their criticism of Konoha.

• Feng received Orochimaru’s plan for the Konoha Crush and submitted the names Qian Jian, Sarutobi Zan, Shizō, and Suien for his team.
• Feng planned to enter Konoha himself with Mangetsu, Kimimaro, and Haku, using the chaos to seize valuable resources rather than attack the village outright.
• Two days before the exams, Feng and the three shinobi toured Konoha and compared it unfavorably with the cities back home.
• Mangetsu asked how they should perform in the exams, and Feng told them to act normally, hold back against Konoha ninja when possible, and otherwise do as they pleased.
• A raspy voice mocked the group for looking down on Konoha and insisted that it was the most prosperous of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

Feng provoked Gaara in Konoha, fought through his sand defense, and nearly triggered his rampage before Baki and Konoha ninja intervened. The groups separated under Konoha’s rules, while Baki left suspicious of Feng’s intentions and Konoha arranged to watch the outsiders.

• Feng recognized Kankuro, Temari, and Gaara, then challenged Gaara and struck at him with the Horse-Cutting Sword.
• Gaara’s sand blocked Feng’s attack, but Feng cut through it and held his blade to Gaara’s neck, driving Gaara into a violent fit.

Yakushi Kabuto reported his White Zetsu Cell research and agreed to return to Feng after the Konoha Crush Plan, then lead the Uchiha fusion effort.

• Hozuki Mangetsu, Kimimaro, and Yuki Haku passed the written test with blank papers and survived the Forest of Death without Orochimaru appearing.
• Mangetsu, Kimimaro, and Haku eliminated Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji, then won their preliminary matches against Dosu, Kin Tsuchi, and Sakura; Sai defeated Akadō Yoroi.
• Konoha arranged the ten-person final tournament so the four advancing Konoha Genin faced opponents Feng considered favorable to Konoha, angering Feng.
• Yakushi Kabuto secretly visited Feng and reported that White Zetsu Cell experiments showed high theoretical fusion success rates with Sharingan users.
• Kabuto agreed to return after the Konoha Crush Plan and train people to perform White Zetsu Cell fusion surgeries on the Uchiha.

Feng learned that transplanted Mangekyō Sharingan might guarantee successful fusion with White Zetsu Cells and ordered Kabuto to prepare experiments. Kabuto also asked permission to rescue former Konoha Orphanage companions during the Konoha Crush, and Feng agreed.

• Kabuto finished reporting Konoha intelligence and prepared to leave, but Feng asked whether transplanted Mangekyō could ensure successful White Zetsu Cell fusion.
• Kabuto deduced that transplanted Mangekyō should have a 100% success rate and said he was 90% confident, prompting Feng to order experiments.

As the Chunin Exam finals began, coordinated forces launched the Konoha Crush Plan while Gaara lost control to Shukaku. Feng secretly put Shukaku to sleep, then recalled Kimimaro and told Baki that Gaara could no longer be relied on.

• Feng recalled Kimimaro and told Baki that Gaara could not be counted on to awaken the One-Tail.

As Konoha was overwhelmed by Orochimaru and Sunagakure’s attack, Feng assembled his forces at the abandoned Uchiha compound and ordered them to seize valuable targets. He sent three teams into the village while keeping Konoha intact for his future plans.

After the Castle (Tokatsu) vanished, Uchiha Kazue coordinated Feng’s forces and confirmed their assignments for the Konoha Crush Plan. In Konoha, Feng led the Uchiha openly toward Root to begin their revenge on Shimura Danzō, while drawing attention away from Mei Terumi and the others.

• Uchiha Kazue contacted Feng’s commanders and allies by wireless and convened an operation briefing led by Uchiha Bosawa.

• Feng told the Uchiha that they could finally take revenge on Konoha and led them toward Root’s base to target Shimura Danzō.
• The Uchiha raised their Sharingan and drew their blades as they followed Feng, making their return to Konoha conspicuous.

Uchiha Feng led a force of Uchiha into Konoha during the invasion and attacked Danzo’s Root Base to exact revenge. Feng confronted Danzo and ordered his clan to attack, leaving the battle for Root underway.

• Feng’s Perfect Susanoo slaughtered Root ninja, drove off the summoned Baku, and repeatedly killed Danzo, who revived with Izanagi.
• Danzo ordered Root to attack Feng inside Susanoo and used the Reverse Four Symbols Seal to remove its katana while their combined ninjutsu blasted away one arm.
• Danzo and Root kept bombarding the motionless Susanoo, while the Uchiha watched calmly, knowing Feng was playing with his opponents.
• After Root exhausted its chakra and damaged both of Susanoo’s hands, a Nara Clan ninja realized Feng could restore the Susanoo at will.
• Feng replenished the Perfect Susanoo and unleashed its giant sword in a flurry against Danzo and Root.

Feng and the Uchiha killed Danzo and destroyed Root, then prepared to rescue their allies as Mei Terumi’s Royal Guard raided Konoha’s ninja tool depot. The chapter left Feng’s group heading for their next target while Mei’s squad began looting supplies.
