Second Kazekage Fūma Yōkan prepared to attack the Land of Fire with the Land of Water and the Land of Lightning, while Uchiha Gen searched for the moon passage and flew to the moon himself. There, he found the lunar clan’s Giant Tenseigan and clashed with Otsutsuki Wuli over the clan’s supreme treasure.

• Fūma Yōkan discussed deploying troops with his advisers and maintained contact with the Land of Water and the Land of Lightning, while the Land of Earth remained silent.

Meanwhile, the Land of Fire fought off a massive invasion without Gen, and Kazekage Fūma Yōkan ordered the Jinchūriki brought forward after a month of heavy losses.
