Feng secured a three-year exchange-student agreement with Konoha, then took advantage of Hoshigakure’s crisis to absorb it and the Land of Bears. When several other small nations also turned to the Land of Whirlpools for help, Feng expanded his territory by six nations but lacked the manpower to manage them.

• Feng ordered Uzumaki Ayaka to seal Ido inside Yakumo, offered to help Yakumo control it, and left her to decide the Kurama Clan’s fate.

Feng assigned manga artists to recreate Dragon Ball, Death God, and One Piece so Kurama Yakumo could test whether her Kekkei Genkai could bring their contents into reality. In Konoha, Sasuke met Hiroto at the Uchiha district ruins and challenged him, but Hiroto declined, leaving Sasuke to depart with his resentment and guilt unresolved.

• Feng ordered Izumi to tell Tekka and Kabuto to let Orochimaru research the ruins in the Land of Wind, but to report any other tricks immediately.

• Orochimaru agreed to join the Giant God Soldier Mecha project as a temporary special research officer and said he would settle his loose ends within a week.

Orochimaru settled into a well-equipped, closely monitored research center, where abundant resources let him focus on his work and eased his hidden ambition.

• Feng told Orochimaru to have the merchant Gato visit him, then watched the flourishing streets of the Land of Whirlpools.

Nobles and wealthy interests from several countries plotted to sabotage Uchiha Feng’s alliance, which was drawing workers and business away from their lands.
