Chapter Summaries

Feng launched a coordinated assault on Kirigakure, using Ao to bypass its defenses and dividing his forces across the village. Mei Terumi rallied the defenders, but Feng’s overwhelming attack and appeals to ordinary villagers left Kirigakure offering little resistance.

• Ao disabled Kirigakure’s warning systems, allowing Feng to approach the gates unnoticed.
• Feng summoned Tokatsu to block the gates and assigned his forces to attack from three directions while guarding against escape.
• Genji and Mei Terumi separately decided to concentrate Kirigakure’s defenders near the Mizukage Building, where roughly four hundred combat-ready ninja gathered.
• Mei Terumi ordered some defenders to fetch weapons and others to evacuate civilians, but Feng’s force reached her before they could prepare.
• Feng advanced under his Susanoo as Yuki Rō urged villagers to stay indoors or surrender, while Kaguya Shū and others hunted armed defenders.
• Most villagers and many ninja stood aside, and Feng’s forces met little resistance at the gates and on both flanks.

Feng’s forces overwhelmed Kirigakure after Mei Terumi’s defenders fought a desperate battle at the Mizukage Building. Mei surrendered to save the remaining villagers, and Feng’s forces began disarming and capturing the defeated ninja as the three attacking forces united.

• Feng confronted Mei Terumi at the Mizukage Building and ordered the Prisoner Camp to attack when she refused to surrender.
• Mei cut through the Prisoner Camp, but Kaguya Shū and Yuki Rō worked together to hold her back with bone and ice defenses.
• With Mei occupied, Feng’s forces overwhelmed the remaining Kirigakure defenders as attackers closed in from three sides.
• After seeing her comrades defeated and fewer than ten unable to fight, Mei surrendered and asked Feng to spare the village.
• Mei called on everyone to lay down their weapons, and Kirigakure’s fighters stopped resisting.
• Feng’s forces collected weapons, took prisoners, sealed chakra, and treated the wounded as Kentaro Uchiha and Uchiha Jianshi arrived and joined the other forces.

After taking control of Kirigakure, Feng appointed Yuki Rō as Fifth Mizukage and laid out reforms for the region’s academies and orphan care. Genji inferred that the Uchiha had secretly engineered Kirigakure’s downfall, but Feng refused to confirm or explain the truth.

• Uchiha Kazue reported that most of Kirigakure had accepted Feng’s rule, and Feng assigned Kaguya Shū to deal with the remaining holdouts.
• Feng named Yuki Rō the Fifth Mizukage, then kicked him out of the office to take charge of pacifying the village.
• Feng asked Yashiro Uchiha to serve as the Mizukage’s assistant and outlined plans for conventional and specialized Ninja Academies, a Samurai Academy, orphan support, practical instruction, and a ninjutsu library.
• Feng offered a pair of Mangekyō to the Uchiha who contributed the most techniques, persuading Yashiro that the clan would readily share its records.
• Genji concluded that the Uchiha had controlled the Mizukage and Daimyo to weaken and seize Kirigakure, then accused Feng and the others of plotting against the village.
• Feng said the Uchiha would own their actions but were not the Uchiha Genji imagined, and he refused to explain further.

Feng persuaded Elder Genshi that Kirigakure’s ninja would become paid professional soldiers rather than disposable tools, and Elder Genshi surrendered to spare the village further bloodshed. Feng put him in charge of persuading Kirigakure to submit, with Tekka supervising and Yuki Rō set to govern the pacified village.

• Feng told Elder Genshi that an Uchiha controlled the Fourth Mizukage and outlined his plans to make Kirigakure a training base for his forces.
• Elder Genshi agreed to serve Feng if he could lead the effort to persuade Kirigakure to surrender and prevent more deaths.
• Feng agreed, provided Kirigakure’s people accepted their new assignments as soldiers in his Mobile Units and Scout Corps.
• Elder Genshi formally surrendered on Kirigakure’s behalf, judging that resistance would destroy the weakened village.
• Feng ordered Tekka to take Elder Genshi to Yuki Rō and Kaguya Shū, assist the surrender effort, prevent needless killing, and supervise the village’s pacification.

After Genji led Kirigakure’s surrender, Feng secured the village and planned how to bring nearly three thousand shinobi stationed elsewhere under his control. He refused Genji’s request to give them more time, prioritizing Kirigakure’s consolidation before Obito could return.

• Feng asked Mei Terumi to join his Royal Guard, and she asked for time to think.
• With Genji’s help, Feng subdued Kirigakure in a few days and ordered the village’s remaining shinobi recalled in batches.
• Feng assigned Genji and Yuki Rō to persuade the returning shinobi to surrender, with the Royal Guard ready to kill anyone who resisted.
• Genji asked Feng to give his fellow villagers another chance, but Feng said the persuasion effort was already their chance and refused to delay.
• Feng considered Obito’s possible return and the risks of drawing Black Zetsu’s attention, so he insisted on bringing Kirigakure fully under control quickly.

Feng assigned the Uchiha leaders to expand their forces and return to the territories they had been guarding, while Kazue arranged for new Royal Guard members to stay near him. The clan turned the selection into a fierce contest among its women, hoping to find Feng a suitable partner and secure his descendants.

• Feng ordered Taro, Kazue, Inabi, and Tekka to absorb returning Hidden Mist ninja, expand the Mobile Units, and patrol the Land of Water before returning to their assigned countries.
• Taro, Kazue, Inabi, and Tekka worried about leaving Feng with fewer guards, but he reassured them that he had the Flying Thunder God and would expand his Royal Guard.
• Kazue suggested selecting clan members to replace Inabi and Tekka in the Royal Guard, and Feng told her to coordinate the choice with Uncle Yashiro and the others.
• Kazue privately treated the recruitment as a chance to find a clanswoman to become Feng’s partner and bear his descendants.
• Uchiha women competed fiercely for the Royal Guard positions, judging each other’s Sharingan and fighting to prove their superiority.

Uchiha Izumi won a place in Feng’s Royal Guard after awakening her Three-Tomoe Sharingan, while Feng focused on bringing Kirigakure under his control. Most returning Hidden Mist ninja surrendered after seeing his abilities, but border security and the village’s expenses remained concerns.

• Uchiha Izumi became the final choice for Feng’s Royal Guard after her ocular power and training surpassed the other candidates.
• Feng learned that Izumi awakened her Three-Tomoe Sharingan after hearing that Itachi had slaughtered his family and the Uchiha who remained in Konoha.
• Feng and Genji began incorporating Kirigakure’s returning ninja, and Feng used the Flying Thunder God, White Fang Swordsmanship, and Mangekyō Sharingan to make later groups surrender.
• Feng left the Land of Water–Land of Fire border forces alone for the time being and planned carefully around the more dangerous Land of Water–Land of Lightning border.
• Feng took responsibility for Kirigakure’s expenses, which he could cover with the resources of the six countries he controlled.

Feng discussed how to bring Kirigakure’s border ninja into his forces without provoking war with Kumogakure. He approved Genji’s plan to persuade the ninja first and rotate their postings, then ordered a show of strength at the border.

• Yuki Rō warned Feng that the border ninja near the Land of Lightning were experienced, loyal, and difficult to persuade, while Kumogakure’s harassment made the situation dangerous.
• Yashiro Uchiha proposed striking Kumogakure’s border outposts and using force to subdue any Kirigakure ninja who resisted.
• Genji rejected a direct attack and suggested that he and Feng visit the border, offer the ninja better treatment and security, then transfer them in batches to break up their units.
• Feng accepted Genji’s plan and ordered Yashiro to summon Tekka and Inabi Uchiha with their Mobile Units to the border.
• Feng told Uchiha Izumi to gather the Royal Guard and accompany them.

Feng gave Yashiro Uchiha the Mangekyō Sharingan eyes and assigned him to deliver them to Kentaro, then traveled with Mei Terumi to Kirigakure’s outpost in the Land of Crafts. The chapter left them preparing an open area for Feng to summon Tokatsu the Chameleon.

• Feng offered Yashiro Uchiha Fugaku’s and Itachi’s Mangekyō eyes, praising his contributions to the Ninja Academy and asking him to help keep Kirigakure in check.
• Yashiro Uchiha refused the eyes because of his age, and Feng chose Brother Kentaro to receive them instead.
• Yashiro Uchiha accepted the jar and sealed it in a scroll, while Feng departed with Tekka, Inabi Uchiha, and the assembled forces.
• The chapter described the Land of Crafts and Takumi Village, whose ninja-tool trade had protected the country from war for years.
• Feng and Mei Terumi arrived by Steel-Wing Dragon at Kirigakure’s border outpost in the Land of Crafts.
• Mei Terumi instructed the patrol ninja to find an open area so Feng could summon Tokatsu the Chameleon.

Feng and Genji brought nearly two thousand ninja to Kirigakure’s border outpost, where Genji announced that the village had come under the Daimyo’s command. After Ming and other officers resisted, Feng invited them into the Castle for a private talk and had Tokatsu take them away.

• Elder Genshi emerged from Tokatsu’s Castle with Feng and nearly two thousand ninja, alarming the outpost’s commander, Ming.
• Genji assembled the outpost’s officers and announced that Lord Feng, appointed by the Daimyo, now held authority over Kirigakure.
• Ming and other border ninja rejected the announcement and refused to accept the Daimyo’s rule.
• Feng asked Genji to bring the border ninja into the Castle while Mei Terumi, Uchiha Inabi, and Tekka reorganized the outpost’s defenses.
• Trusting Genji, Ming led the border ninja into the Castle, and Feng asked Tokatsu to take them home and reverse-summon him there.

Feng brought Ming and the Hidden Mist Village ninja to Kyakumei Forest, where he intended to force them to accept the daimyo’s authority. Ming rejected Feng’s threat and declared that he and his subordinates would resist rather than surrender.

• Feng had Tokatsu release the people inside him and lead them to an open area in Kyakumei Forest.
• Raku, Blood Claw, and several other chameleons joined Feng to watch the meeting, alarming the Hidden Mist Village ninja.
• Feng reassured Ming and the others that the chameleons would only watch, then Ming demanded to know why Genji had agreed to place the village under the daimyo’s command.
• Feng said Genji had agreed because otherwise Feng would destroy the Hidden Mist Village, and he offered the ninja a choice between surrender and death.
• Ming mocked Feng’s threat, unleashed his killing intent, and vowed that some of his ninja would fight to the end rather than surrender.

Feng tried to persuade Ming and the Hidden Mist ninja to surrender, and Genji vouched that Feng would keep them safe. Ming agreed to let those who wished to live surrender, but he and nearly a hundred others charged Feng, who prepared to face them alone.

• Feng threatened Ming with the fate of the ordinary ninja, but Ming refused to surrender because he feared Feng might later kill them.
• Genji assured Ming that Feng would honor their surrender, and Ming accepted that the Hidden Mist Village had fallen.
• Ming demanded that Feng protect and never mistreat those who surrendered, then directed them to join Genji.
• Ming asked Feng to kill him and the remaining ninja, and they charged Feng rather than surrendering.
• Feng stopped his subordinates and confronted the attackers alone, activating Lightning Release Chakra Mode and opening the Sixth Gate.

Feng defeated Ming and the Kirigakure Ninja who attacked him, then arranged for the survivors to join his forces and the fallen to be buried. Afterward, he fought the chameleons in Kyakumei Forest and had Tokatsu send him away before more arrived.

• Feng overwhelmed the Kirigakure Ninja, and Ming died after declaring that they had defended their village's dignity.
• Feng asked Genji to take the dead home for burial and ordered Uchiha Izumi and Kirisame Tomoshu to sort the surrendered Ninja into groups.
• The chameleons urged Feng to stay in Kyakumei Forest, but he refused and complained about the place.
• The chameleons held Feng back, so he summoned his third-stage Susanoo and fought them until they were all sprawled on the ground.
• Feng told Tokatsu to use the Reverse Summoning Technique, and Tokatsu sent him away.

Feng ordered a preemptive operation against Kumogakure but clarified that he intended only a limited fight, not a war. He revealed that his plan was to drive Kumogakure from the Land of Crafts through pressure and money, leaving his forces ready to act.

• Mei Terumi reported that Kumogakure seemed to be preparing to act, and Feng ordered her and Tomoshu to scout for a battlefield.
• Feng summoned Tokatsu the Chameleon and assembled his forces, but Uchiha Izumi and Genji warned that attacking could expose the Uchiha and provoke Kumogakure.
• Feng told them he did not plan to wipe out Kumogakure's troops and explained that a limited battle could display Kirigakure's strength while serving as training.
• Feng quietly told Genji that the Land of Crafts was central to his plan, and Genji agreed to inform the others and support him.

Feng led an assault on the Kumogakure camp, using the Steel-Wing Dragon and summoned chameleons to wreck the harbor while his forces attacked the main gate. The battle ended with most Cloud Ninja dead or wounded and the survivors captured.

• Kirisame Tomoshu reported that Kumogakure had reinforced its camp, and Feng assigned Inabi, Tekka, Izumi, and Mei Terumi to surround the main gate while he attacked the harbor.
• Feng flew toward the camp on the Steel-Wing Dragon, then descended using the Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique and drew fire from Cloud Ninja who mistook him for an Iwagakure ninja.
• Feng countered the Cloud Ninja’s attacks with Majestic Destroyer Flame, then summoned Tokatsu, Blood Claw, Raku, and other chameleons to crush Cloud Ninja and smash nearly half the harbor’s ships.
• After seeing Feng’s flames, Inabi Uchiha and the others launched an assault on the camp’s main gate and overwhelmed its defenders.
• The fighting ended after about half an hour, with Feng’s forces suffering fewer than a hundred casualties and roughly two hundred surviving Cloud Ninja captured.

Kumogakure's Fourth Raikage A prepared to retaliate after Kirigakure destroyed a border outpost, while Feng arranged a diplomatic effort to keep Kumogakure out of the Land of Crafts. The story left A heading toward the battlefield, unaware that Feng's plan depended on surviving his retaliation and winning the Land of Lightning's daimyo's support.

• After learning that Kirigakure had destroyed Kumogakure's outpost and killed over two hundred ninja, A demanded that Mabui transport him to the battlefield with the Heavenly Transfer Technique.
• Mabui refused to risk using her incomplete technique on A, and Dodai arrived with Samui and arranged for A to travel with C and a thousand assembled ninja instead.
• Dodai ordered Killer B to stay behind to guard Kumogakure, and A and Samui set out to catch up with Darui's force.
• Half a day earlier, Feng ordered Inabi Uchiha to send word to Bosawa to appoint Takayanagi Haruki as Minister of Foreign Affairs and send him to negotiate a ceasefire with the Land of Lightning's daimyo.
• Feng directed Haruki to offer treasures and accept reputational humiliation in exchange for a decree barring Kumogakure from stationing troops in the Land of Crafts.

Feng used bribed envoys from the Land of Lightning to block Fourth Raikage A and force Kumogakure to hear the daimyo’s decree. The decree ordered Kirigakure to pay Kumogakure compensation while barring both villages from stationing ninja in the Land of Crafts, leaving A to confront the limits imposed by his daimyo.

• Feng positioned the Land of Lightning’s envoys in front of his army and had Takayanagi Haruki flatter them while the Uchiha and Kaguya clans held back their anger.
• Samui noticed the envoys beside Feng as Kumogakure’s forces approached, but Fourth Raikage A charged ashore before hearing her concerns.
• Feng withdrew with his forces, leaving the envoys to intercept A and claim they had come under the daimyo’s decree to mediate.
• A shoved the lead envoy aside, but the envoys grabbed and held him until Darui, Samui, and the other Kumogakure ninja arrived and agreed to talk.
• Samui read the decree, which required Kirigakure to pay Kumogakure one hundred million ryō and apologize, ordered both villages to withdraw their garrisons from the Land of Crafts, and forbade Kumogakure from retaliating.

Feng used the Land of Lightning Daimyo’s decree to keep Kumogakure from openly retaliating after its border garrison was wiped out, while assuring Genji that his forces could defeat the village if needed. Genji came to trust Feng’s strength and began imagining Kirigakure rising above the other great villages under his command.

• Fourth Raikage A grabbed the Land of Lightning’s envoy and threatened him after hearing the decree forbade Kumogakure from retaliating against Kirigakure.
• Samui and the other Kumogakure leaders restrained A, and Samui argued that the village deserved justice for the missing five hundred Cloud Ninja.
• Feng told Genji that the Daimyo’s decree only needed to obstruct open conflict, while Kumogakure’s strength posed little threat to his forces.
• Genji reconsidered Feng’s confidence after recalling his Mangekyō’s control over Jinchūriki and the Uchiha’s combat abilities.
• Genji praised Feng’s foresight and concluded that Kirigakure would eventually rank above Kumogakure and Konoha under his command.

Huo Feng agreed to spar with Fourth Raikage A after negotiating terms with the Land of Lightning’s messenger. He fought A to test his physical combat and reactions, and the battle continued as A launched a powerful lightning-charged attack.

• Genji told Huo Feng to lead the Hidden Mist Village toward greater heights, but a Land of Lightning messenger interrupted to relay A’s conditions for peace.
• Huo Feng agreed to reveal the captured Cloud Ninja’s whereabouts, offer the prisoners in exchange for techniques, and spar with A, provided Kumogakure accepted any casualties.
• Genji confirmed Huo Feng’s authority as the Land of Water Daimyo’s representative, and A challenged him to prove he could represent the Hidden Mist Village.
• Huo Feng reinforced his blade with Fire, Iron, and Earth Release, activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and opened the Eight Gates through the Sixth Gate.
• Huo Feng and A exchanged powerful blows, and A judged that his stronger Lightning Release Chakra Mode would give him the advantage.
• A charged into a Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop while Huo Feng relied on instinct and bodily reactions, unable to use his Mangekyō while concealing his identity.

Feng and Fourth Raikage A fought at close range, with Feng exploiting his knowledge of the Third Raikage’s technique to evade A’s Hell Stab and wound him. After A shattered Feng’s Lightning Release Armor, both sides gathered behind their leaders, leaving the duel on the verge of becoming a larger battle.

• A intensified his Lightning Release Chakra Mode and attacked Feng with Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite, but Feng ducked beneath the strike.
• Feng counterattacked A’s ribs with repeated sword blows, breaking through his Lightning Release Armor and leaving a severe wound.
• A increased his speed and traded heavy blows with Feng, then used Lariat and Heavy Boulder to shatter Feng’s Lightning Release Armor.
• Feng spun his blade to escape A’s follow-up and ordered his allies not to join the fight.
• Darui and Yugito Nii advanced with Kumogakure’s ninja while C treated A’s wound, as both forces prepared for a broader confrontation.
