Chapter Summaries

Feng interrogated the thief Five-Inch Nail and learned about two nail-controlling techniques, then secured the original ninjutsu for controlling kunai. After Kentaro returned with the scrolls and admitted killing Five-Inch Nail, Feng began studying the techniques with him.

• Feng ordered Five-Inch Nail beaten until he revealed his name, his two nail-controlling ninjutsu, and how he had obtained them.
• Five-Inch Nail said he still had the original technique for controlling kunai, and Feng promised to spare him and reward him if he retrieved it.
• Feng sent Kentaro and a squad with Five-Inch Nail to recover the original scroll from Ichinoshuku in the Land of Stone.
• Kentaro returned five days later with both scrolls and admitted that he had killed Five-Inch Nail after discovering the thief planned to sell the ninjutsu.
• Feng confirmed the scrolls were genuine, sent Kenjiro and the others to training, and gave Kentaro the nail-control technique to study while he read the kunai-control version.

Feng and Kentaro studied two metal-manipulation ninjutsu and discussed how to adapt them into sword control. Feng persuaded Kentaro to help improve the techniques, leaving them focused on mastering their principles before pursuing a more powerful and stylish version.

• Kentaro and Feng concluded that Five-Inch Nail's techniques controlled chakra-infused metal rather than magnetic force, so they should be called Iron Release, not Magnet Release.
• Feng recognized that Kunai Formation could potentially be adapted to control longswords and believed he knew how to obtain weapons suitable for the technique.
• Kentaro dismissed the techniques as less useful than the Uchiha clan's Fire Release, but Feng argued that sword control could let them fight with striking style.
• Feng's vision of a sword-riding immortal excited Kentaro, who wondered if he could become the center of attention.
• Feng urged Kentaro to learn the techniques' principles, adapt kunai control into longsword control, and then research ways to increase their power.

Feng trained in Lightning Release while expanding his military and assigning his allies missions to strengthen and prepare the Land of Tea.

• Black Zetsu withdrew before the conflicts concluded, and within half a year Feng had strengthened his control over the Land of Tea.
