Chapter Summaries

Feng’s deception convinced Ōnoki that Kumogakure had betrayed Iwagakure, prompting him to offer the Land of Whirlpools Kumogakure’s intelligence. Feng explained his scheme to Mei Terumi and Gaara as Iwagakure’s envoy arrived for talks.

• Stone Marten told Ōnoki that Cloud Ninja had killed Iwagakure shinobi and fought Uchiha from the Land of Whirlpools, while Kurotsuchi confirmed the Uchiha’s public report matched his account.
• Enraged by what he believed was Kumogakure’s betrayal, Ōnoki prepared to mobilize against them, but his advisers persuaded him to retaliate by sharing their intelligence with Konoha and the Land of Whirlpools.
• Ōnoki sent Ippan and a team of communication shinobi to the Land of Whirlpools to offer Kumogakure’s intelligence for free.
• Feng welcomed the news that Iwagakure’s envoy had arrived and told Gaara, Uchiha Izumi, and Mei Terumi that he had expected them.
• Feng explained how staged evidence, Stone Marten’s testimony, Ōnoki’s suspicions, and the villages’ old grudges had led Iwagakure to believe his deception.

Feng explained how his schemes needed to be tailored to Iwagakure and Kumogakure, then negotiated with Iwagakure’s envoy, Ippan, over cooperation and a non-aggression agreement. Ippan left to seek Ōnoki’s instructions after Feng insisted the agreement cover all Uchiha territory.

• Feng explained that he would use intrigue against suspicious Ōnoki but straightforward truths to manipulate Kumogakure.
• Feng met Ippan, Ōnoki’s envoy, who proposed cooperation and promised Iwagakure would stop sending ninja into the Land of Whirlpools.
• Feng asked Iwagakure to put its promise not to enter his territory into a written agreement.
• Ippan agreed to a written non-aggression document naming the Land of Whirlpools, but Feng insisted it name Uchiha territory instead.
• Ippan said he needed to contact Iwagakure for instructions, and Feng calmly waited while drinking tea.

Feng allied with Iwagakure and used its intelligence to launch attacks on Kumogakure, aiming to deepen the conflict between the two villages. A month later, Uchiha Kazue led a mobile unit toward another Cloud Ninja force, taking care to follow Feng’s orders and avoid provoking other countries.

• Iwagakure agreed to Feng’s demands and signed a non-aggression agreement that barred the Uchiha Clan from attacking Land of Earth territory.
• Iwagakure shared Kumogakure’s intelligence with Feng, who ordered Uzumaki Ayaka and Uchiha Kazue to begin purging Cloud Ninja forces.
• Feng explained to Mei Terumi that the campaign against Kumogakure would make Iwagakure bear the blame and encourage the two villages to fight each other.
• Genji wondered when Mei would understand that he had placed her beside Uchiha Feng so she could learn how to become the lady of the house.
• A month later, Ayaka and Kazue identified another Cloud Ninja force from Iwagakure’s intelligence, and Kazue ordered the mobile unit to attack it.
• Kuki Takanobu warned Kazue not to cross into the Land of Hot Water, and Kazue asked White Zetsu A-Bian to remind her if she forgot.

Kumogakure's leaders struggled to respond to the Uchiha's destruction of eight squads, while A demanded revenge and Dodai warned that war would leave the village exposed. Inabi Uchiha delivered evidence that Iwagakure had betrayed Kumogakure and made peace with the Land of Whirlpools, leaving the Raikage's council to confront the betrayal.

• A raged over the deaths of nearly three hundred ninja and called for an army to march on the Land of Whirlpools.
• Dodai warned A that an invasion would risk attacks from Konoha and Kirigakure, and A abandoned his immediate call to mobilize.
• An Anbu announced that an envoy from the Land of Whirlpools had arrived, and A ordered him admitted.
• Inabi Uchiha presented letters, intelligence reports, and an official agreement to Kumogakure's leaders.
• A, Darui, and Dodai discovered that Iwagakure had supplied the Uchiha with Kumogakure's secrets and signed a non-aggression agreement with the Land of Whirlpools.

A and Kumogakure learned that Ōnoki had secretly used the Uchiha to undermine them and exploit their conflict, prompting the village to unite against Iwagakure. A ordered a force to march toward the Land of Earth, while Darui insisted they notify Konoha first and leave enough troops to defend Kumogakure.

• A grew furious after examining the non-aggression agreement bearing Ōnoki’s signature and seal, then demanded to know what the Uchiha wanted from Kumogakure.
• Inabi Uchiha said he did not know his clan head’s intentions, and Darui deduced that Iwagakure had manipulated both Kumogakure and the Uchiha to profit from their conflict.
• A struck Inabi with his sleeve, but Inabi vanished in a puff of smoke because he was a Shadow Clone.
• Kumogakure’s council united in anger against Iwagakure, and A ordered the Anbu and an army to march through the Iron Country toward the Land of Earth.
• Darui urged A to notify Konoha and avoid leaving Kumogakure undefended, so A agreed to send a message and take the Anbu and five thousand ninja.

Darui prevented Kumogakure from launching a full-scale war against Iwagakure and instead ordered limited attacks and intelligence sharing. As the conflict spread into small nations, Konan questioned Nagato’s plan to force peace by capturing the Tailed Beasts, but he remained unconvinced.

• Darui halted Kumogakure’s advance and ordered the army to withdraw and hold position unless Iwagakure attacked.
• Darui explained to A that Iwagakure and Uchiha Feng both wanted to manipulate Kumogakure, then ordered Anbu strikes on Iwagakure squads and sent Samui to share intelligence with Konoha and the Land of Whirlpools.
• A accepted Darui’s leadership, and Kumogakure began small-scale attacks on Iwagakure across neighboring small nations.
• Konan asked Nagato whether Amegakure should intervene as the fighting spread into the Land of Rain, but Nagato chose to let the great nations weaken each other.
• Konan challenged Nagato’s plan to capture the Tailed Beasts and impose peace, but Nagato insisted that suffering and fear were necessary to end war.

Kumogakure and Iwagakure went to war after A confronted Ōnoki over Iwagakure’s treaty with the Uchiha. The villages fought for months before pulling back into an uneasy truce, while Konoha and Uchiha Feng stayed out of the conflict because other enemies occupied them.

• A confronted Ōnoki with documents proving Iwagakure had signed a non-aggression agreement with the Uchiha, then attacked him with Guillotine Drop.
• Ōnoki evaded A and threatened him with Dust Release, while Yugito Nii stood ready to support the Fourth Raikage.
• A’s attack triggered a battle between five thousand Cloud Ninja and Iwa Ninja, which ended at nightfall after both sides suffered several hundred casualties.
• A and Yugito fought alongside each other to hold Ōnoki back, but neither could overcome his Dust Release.
• Kumogakure and Iwagakure restrained themselves to avoid giving the nearby Konoha army or Uchiha Feng an advantage, and their armies retreated over the following months.
• Small clashes continued for three months before the two villages’ forces withdrew far apart, effectively creating an unspoken truce.

After Ōtsutsuki Urashiki attacked Gaara and drained much of his Chakra, Feng recognized the threat and gathered sensory ninja and medical support to search for him. Feng and Gaara waited at a remote oasis in the Land of Wind, hoping to draw Urashiki into a fight.

• Tekka Uchiha reported that an unknown white-robed attacker with Byakugan that could become red Rinnegan had drained Gaara's Chakra with a Crimson Fishing Rod.
• Feng identified the attacker as Ōtsutsuki Urashiki and ordered Tekka to summon sensory ninja, Uzumaki Ayaka, and Yakushi Kabuto while warning his forces to withdraw and hold their defenses.
• Feng rejected Tekka's offer to summon additional fighters, deciding he could handle Urashiki but might need Kabuto's poisons.
• Feng relocated the oasis's residents and sent Ayaka, Ao, and other sensory ninja to search for Urashiki on the Steel-Wing Dragon.
• Feng stayed at the oasis with Gaara, who was being treated by Yakushi Kabuto in Tokatsu the Chameleon's castle, and prepared to lure Urashiki into a confrontation.

Feng fought Urashiki in a deserted oasis, using Flying Thunder God and stacked chakra modes to overwhelm him. Just as Feng was about to land a potentially fatal attack, an unknown person used Kamui to pull Urashiki away.

• Urashiki tracked Feng to the oasis, and Feng sent Gaara and Yakushi Kabuto away before facing him alone.
• Feng blocked Urashiki's attacks, then combined Lightning Release Chakra Mode with Yin Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and used Flying Thunder God to strike him repeatedly.
• Feng cut off both of Urashiki's horns and wounded him, while Urashiki used Time Rewind to evade attacks and heal.
• Feng caught Urashiki off guard with a Rasengan fused with Iron Release and Lightning Release, but an unknown person used Kamui to pull Urashiki away.
• Feng recognized the Kamui ripples but could not identify the newcomer through the flying sand and stones.

Feng met Naruto, Sasuke, and several youths from his future, who revealed that future Feng had deliberately sent Urashiki to this era with a gift. They gave Feng Urashiki’s chakra in the Crimson Fishing Basket and left to return Urashiki’s body and deliver other items.

• Naruto introduced Boruto, Sarada, Uchiha Takachi, Sada Xiaobo, and Uchiha Shinji to Feng, while keeping the future’s secrets.
• Sasuke returned from the Kamui Dimension with Urashiki captured and explained that future Feng had arranged for him to travel back as a gift.
• Sasuke drained Urashiki’s chakra with the Crimson Fishing Rod, combined it, and placed it in the Crimson Fishing Basket for Feng to eat when he encountered Zero-Tails.
• Naruto and Sasuke showed Feng four Mangekyō and explained who would receive them, along with future plans for Boruto’s eyes and Rinnegan for Takachi.
• Naruto and Sasuke prepared to leave with Urashiki’s body and the youths, while Feng accepted the basket and let them go.

Feng learned that the train production line was complete, but Yakushi Kabuto reported that the first Uchiha White Zetsu Cell fusions had succeeded. Feng decided to undergo the next fusion himself and left plans for the railway and the war aside while preparations began.

• Kazahana Dōtō told Feng that the train production line was complete, and Feng set out to inspect it in the Land of Whirlpools.
• Yakushi Kabuto reminded Feng that he had promised to join the second batch of White Zetsu Cell fusion experiments after the first batch succeeded.
• Uchiha Izumi and Yakushi Kabuto urged Feng to wait for more data, but Feng insisted on undergoing the fusion because he needed greater strength.
• Feng refused Izumi’s request to join the experiment and assigned her to recall Uzumaki Ayaka and Sister Kazue while others monitored the war.
• Feng told Kazahana Dōtō to survey a railway route from Sunagakure to the Capital of the Land of Wind while Feng went to prepare for the fusion.

Feng used his newly awakened Wood Release and White Zetsu Cell research to solve the railway project’s shortage of railroad ties, then revived two Kazekage to search the Land of Wind for iron. He left Sunagakure with Kazahana Dōtō preparing to begin construction of a railway to the capital within a week.

• Kabuto explained that Feng’s dormant Senju genes had helped his White Zetsu Cells fuse quickly, and Feng saw that Wood Release trees could serve as durable railroad ties.
• After his cells fully stabilized, Feng went to Sunagakure and used Impure World Reincarnation to revive the Third Kazekage and Fourth Kazekage with two death-row prisoners as sacrifices.
• Feng ordered Rasa and the Third Kazekage to use Magnet Release to search the Land of Wind for iron and mineral veins.
• Feng had five Uchiha demonstrate Wood Release by creating giant wooden pillars that could remain intact for decades and serve as railroad ties.
• Kazahana Dōtō agreed to begin building a railway between Sunagakure and the Capital of the Land of Wind within a week.

Feng surveyed and oversaw construction of the first railway between Sunagakure and the Capital of the Land of Wind, while the Sage of Six Paths considered whether to trust him. As the nearly completed railway faced a super sandstorm, Feng ordered the workers to safety and the tracks covered.

• The Sage of Six Paths watched Feng depart, debated changing his plans, and chose to wait before committing to Feng.
• Kurama asked Feng about the people from the future, and Feng explained Urashiki’s arrival and the Ōtsutsuki Clan’s God Trees.
• Over three months, Feng supervised railway construction and resolved conflicts among ninjas, technical workers, and ordinary laborers.
• Baki warned Feng that a super sandstorm was approaching the capital, and Feng ordered construction stopped and the new tracks covered with Earth Release.

Feng hired Fujiyoshi Enta’s weather-controlling family for twenty years after they brought rain that cleared the sandstorm dust. He planned to use their abilities across several countries, but realized their small numbers could not solve the Land of Wind’s desert problem.

• A super sandstorm halted construction, and Feng worried about protecting the railways he planned to build across the Land of Wind.
• After the storm, dark clouds arrived with Uchiha Izumi and a group of traveling merchants, whom White Zetsu had found at Feng’s request.
• Fujiyoshi Enta explained that only five members of his family could control weather, and his ability brought rain that washed the dust from the air.
• Feng hired Enta’s family for twenty years, offered monthly pay, and ordered Izumi to arrange housing and advance wages for them.
• Enta agreed to serve Feng and arranged for his companions to bring the rest of the family.
• Feng planned to send weather controllers to other regions, then lamented that the two left for the Land of Wind could not eliminate its vast desert.

Feng completed the railway between Sunagakure and the Capital of the Land of Wind, then ordered Kazahana Dōtō to expand the rail network. He turned to the delayed canal project and ordered ninja and Wood Release users to accelerate construction.

• Feng supervised the railway’s first trial run as the train traveled from Sunagakure to the Capital of the Land of Wind and returned that evening.
• Feng ordered Kazahana Dōtō to begin regular train service, build more trains, and expand the railway network, promising him a territory to rule if he succeeded.
• Feng demanded that the canal project connecting six countries be completed within a year, despite Ebizo’s doubts.
• Feng ordered Ebizo to use Earth Release ninja to carve the canal foundations and told Jiro to summon people who had awakened Wood Release.
• Feng explained that Wood Release trees could supply railway sleepers and instructed the workers’ leaders to prepare for his demonstration.

Feng accelerated the canal project in the Land of Wind, then rushed back to Sunagakure after learning that mysterious chakra-less outsiders had infiltrated the country and were connected to Konoha ninja. Meanwhile, Kumogakure and Iwagakure signed a non-aggression treaty and hesitated to investigate Feng’s plans.

• Feng organized Earth Release and Wood Release ninja and ordinary workers to build the canals, while he trained the Sand ninja and assigned Ebizo to handle foreign communications.
• The first canal carried water through the Land of Silence, and the second reached the Land of Demons; construction continued toward the Land of Wind.
• Unknown attackers landed on the Land of Wind’s coast, scattered inland after Tekka Uchiha defeated them, and evaded searches because they seemed to have no Chakra.
• Feng identified the intruders as people from the Overseas Continent and left Ebizo and Kenjiro in charge of the canal while he returned to Sunagakure.
• Darui and Ōnoki signed a new non-aggression treaty after nine months without profitable missions, then discussed Feng’s canal work and avoided sending investigators into the Land of Wind.

Feng arrived at the ruins where Hyde’s group and the Konoha ninja had gathered, then captured their people and defeated Hyde’s knights. After learning Hyde had manipulated Timothy to seize the Gelel Stone, Feng took the stone for himself and noticed its energy felt strangely familiar.

• Feng ordered Yakushi Kabuto to join him, then traveled with Kabuto and Ao to a mountain ruin where Hyde, Timothy, Heyan, and the Konoha ninja had gathered.
• Feng confronted the groups and ordered Kabuto to capture Timothy and Heyan while Ao searched the Land Cruiser for researchers.
• Feng defeated Hyde’s three female knights, while Ao captured people inside the Land Cruiser and Kabuto restrained Timothy and Heyan.
• Feng revealed that Hyde had murdered Timothy’s family and raised him to help control the Gelel Ore Vein, shattering Timothy’s faith in Hyde.
• Hyde attacked Feng, but Feng used Flying Thunder God to evade him, cut off the hand bearing the Gelel Stone, and claimed the stone, whose energy seemed familiar to him.

Feng discovered that the Gelel Stone mostly contained Natural Energy and arranged for Kabuto to send it and Hyde to Orochimaru for research. After the Konoha team left, Ao finished searching the Land Cruiser, and Feng ordered his people to secure the captured researchers before departing the ruins.

• Feng realized the Gelel Stone's power came mostly from Natural Energy and told Kabuto to offer it and Hyde to Orochimaru for research in exchange for a share of the results.
• Hinata asked Feng about Hanabi, while Naruto demanded that Feng release Hanabi and the captive Heyan.
• Feng questioned Shikamaru about Konoha's intentions, and Shikamaru led the team away after promising not to reveal what happened.
• Feng told the departing team that Hanabi was safe and Heyan could leave after explaining what he knew about the ruins.
• Ao returned with Hyde's Gelel Stone researchers, Land Cruiser personnel, and senior members of Hyde's organization.
• Feng ordered Ao to contact Tekka, instructed Kabuto to take the captured researchers to Orochimaru, and left the ruins.

After deciding to follow Naruto Uzumaki and seize opportunities in the small nations he became involved with, Feng recruited Ao to help track him and prepared a team of Uchiha genjutsu specialists. He left Gaara burdened with administrative work while arranging an evaluation for the Uchiha.

• Feng realized Konoha feared him and decided to stay close to Naruto Uzumaki to exploit the upheaval Naruto caused in small nations.
• Feng ordered Tekka to guard the ruins and take the researchers to Dotō, then selected Ao to accompany him on the mission to track Naruto.
• Feng and Ao returned to the Land of Whirlpools aboard the Steel-Wing Dragon so Feng could arrange further personnel transfers.
• Feng summoned ten young Uchiha genjutsu experts, ordered them to disguise themselves, and prepared to evaluate them.
• Gaara reported that Konoha had stabilized but that they lacked information about Naruto, so Feng said he would monitor Naruto himself and left Gaara to handle the paperwork.

Feng tracked Naruto to the Land of Birds and waited until Princess Toki took power before making his move. He used two Uchiha to place Toki and Chishima under Sharingan control, silently bringing the Land of Birds under his faction’s control.

• Feng and his group followed Naruto from Konoha after several fruitless trips, then tracked him to the Land of Birds.
• Feng watched Naruto and the Konoha ninja help Toki expose and defeat the conspirators who had murdered the previous daimyo.
• After Toki succeeded as daimyo, Feng sent Ao and two Uchiha teams to keep following Naruto while he stayed behind.
• Feng entered the Daimyo Palace and told Toki and Chishima that the guards were asleep and would become his subordinates.
• Shōya used his Two-Tomoe Sharingan to control Chishima, and Yōhei used his Three-Tomoe Sharingan to control Toki.
• Feng’s faction took control of the Land of Birds without open resistance.
