Kurenai Yuhi decided to ask her father about studying Medical Ninjutsu, and Rin Nohara asked to learn from the same reading list. Two days later, Fang Xu found a chakra-infused giant goose in the Forest of Death and prepared to exchange it.

• Fang Xu advised Kurenai Yuhi to consult Shinku Yuhi before committing to Medical Ninjutsu, and offered to make her a beginner reading list and help her ask Tsunade questions.

• Obito resented Fang Xu’s closeness with Rin but reminded himself that his training under Might Duy had helped him defeat three Uchiha his age.
• Asuma dismissed Fang Xu’s interest in Medical Ninjutsu and resolved to grow stronger so Kurenai would notice him instead.
• Two days later, Fang Xu found a large, aggressive goose with chakra in the Forest of Death and considered exchanging it to test his upgraded Exchange Talent.

Fang Xu exchanged a goose, a Chakra Refinement Technique scroll, and condensed chakra, then witnessed the reborn beast tamer Wang Hao confront Chen Yang in a secret realm. Wang Hao relied on memories of his past life and a uniquely powerful beast taming space, while Chen Yang remained an obstacle he considered beneath his notice.

• Fang Xu exchanged the goose, scroll, and chakra and saw Wang Hao facing Chen Yang in an unfamiliar secret realm.
• Wang Hao recalled how Chen Yang had mocked and obstructed him while trying to take his spirit plant.
• Wang Hao warned Chen Yang that his patience had run out, and Chen Yang mocked him in response.
• Wang Hao reflected that his rebirth gave him knowledge of future opportunities and a beast taming space with tenfold acceleration across growth, evolution, recovery, adaptation, and spiritual development.

Chen Yang ordered his followers to cripple Wang Hao so he could not pursue the secret realm’s opportunities, but Wang Hao suddenly suffered a devastating attack on his beast taming space. The chapter left Wang Hao bleeding from all seven orifices as an unknown force appeared to tear at his talent.

• Chen Yang mocked Wang Hao’s background and decided to have his followers break Wang Hao’s arms and legs to prevent him from growing stronger.
• Wang Hao warned Chen Yang that he would make him regret attacking him, but Zhuzi and A Qiang charged at him with their beasts.
• Wang Hao’s starter beast was overwhelmed by Zhuzi’s Black-backed Hound and A Qiang’s Ironclaw Gray Wolf as Zhuzi swung an Alloy Baton at him.
• Wang Hao suddenly clutched his head and fell to his knees when an unfamiliar force struck his beast taming space and seemed to scrape at his tenfold growth and evolution boost talent.
• Wang Hao screamed in agony as blood seeped from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.

Chen Yang’s group found Wang Hao unconscious after he suddenly began bleeding, then three strange objects appeared on him: a goose, a scroll, and a crystal. Chen Yang discovered the crystal and scroll could let humans cultivate chakra, secretly claimed the scroll, and suspected the goose was special too.

• Wang Hao collapsed unconscious, and Chen Yang ordered Zhuzi to check him; Zhuzi confirmed he was alive but badly hurt.
• A Big White Goose, an ancient-looking scroll, and a transparent crystal appeared in midair and landed on Wang Hao.
• Zhuzi collected the three objects, and Chen Yang rewarded him with a five-thousand bonus.
• Chen Yang learned that the crystal was a Chakra Seed and the scroll contained a Chakra Refinement Technique that let humans cultivate power independently of beasts.
• Chen Yang secretly stored the scroll in his Beast Taming Space and examined Big White Goose, suspecting he was more than an ordinary goose.

Chen Yang contracted Big White Goose and discovered that the bond had given him chakra, confirming the Chakra Refinement Technique was real. He kept the secret from his followers and ordered them to take the unconscious Wang Hao to the Secret Realm entrance.

• Chen Yang contracted Big White Goose despite its attempts to peck and struggle, then sensed the beast inside his Beast Taming Space.
• Chen Yang received a small amount of chakra through the contract and decided to give the Chakra Seed to his father so the Chen Family could cultivate.
• Chen Yang refused to explain the goose’s significance to his followers, who speculated that it might have a hidden divine beast bloodline.
• Chen Yang told his followers not to spread word of the strange events and let them believe Wang Hao had simply fallen ill.
• Chen Yang ordered his followers to carry Wang Hao to the Secret Realm entrance and say they had found him unconscious.

Chen Yang left the Secret Realm with Wang Hao, intending to return later for Zhuzi and the others to contract beasts, while keeping the Chakra Refinement Technique and Seed secret. Fang Xu learned that Wang Hao had been the Beast Taming World's intended protagonist, then received his tenfold-growth Beast Taming Space Crystal and realized the world had traded it for Chakra cultivation.

• Chen Yang ordered Zhuzi and A Qiang to carry the unconscious Wang Hao toward the Secret Realm's entrance, while the others guarded them.
• Fang Xu realized Wang Hao had been a regressor whose Beast Taming Space and opportunities Chen Yang had taken through the exchange.
• Fang Xu received Wang Hao's Beast Taming Space Crystal, which granted a hundred-meter space with an initial tenfold growth and evolution effect, plus reciprocal power feedback between beast and tamer.
• Fang Xu concluded that the Beast Taming World's World Will had traded Wang Hao's opportunity for the Chakra Refinement Technique, a Chakra Seed, and Chakra-related biological samples because Chakra cultivation could benefit humanity as a whole.

Fang Xu acquired Wang Hao’s Beast Taming Space Crystal, gained a tenfold-growth Beast Taming Space, and contracted the Pikachu Pokémon Egg. He planned to move his Berry saplings into the space to accelerate their growth.

• Fang Xu considered why the World Will had traded Wang Hao’s Beast Taming Space Crystal and concluded that Chen Yang was better suited to spread the Chakra Refinement Technique.
• Fang Xu merged the chaos-colored crystal into his sea of consciousness and gained a circular Beast Taming Space with powers that accelerated growth, hatching, adaptation, and evolution tenfold.
• Fang Xu returned home and formed a contract with the Pikachu Pokémon Egg, sensing a bond that would let him and Pikachu strengthen each other.
• Fang Xu moved the incubator and Pokémon Egg into the Beast Taming Space, where Pikachu’s hatching time dropped to twelve hours.
• Fang Xu realized the space could accelerate his Berry saplings and went to the backyard to prepare to move them.

Fang Xu moved more than a hundred Berry saplings into his beast taming space and found them thriving there the next morning alongside the incubating Pikachu Pokémon Egg. He sent a shadow clone to the Ninja Academy to gather medical books, then met Kurenai Yuhi while running and learned she could distinguish him from his clone.

• Fang Xu spent the evening transplanting more than a hundred Berry saplings into his beast taming space, where they adapted quickly beside the incubator holding the Pikachu Pokémon Egg.
• The next morning, Fang Xu saw that the Berry saplings had grown more vigorous and prepared a large breakfast to recover from the previous day's exertion.
• Fang Xu sent a shadow clone to the Ninja Academy to borrow medical reference books and gave him instructions about Kurenai, Rin, Obito, and Kakashi.
• Fang Xu went running and encountered Kurenai Yuhi, who recognized that he was the original rather than his shadow clone.

Kurenai asked Fang Xu to train with her every morning, and he agreed while secretly observed by her jealous father, Shinku Yuhi. Fang Xu then went to the busy Ninja Hospital, where he treated a Chunin’s contaminated wound under Chiba Miwa’s supervision.

• Kurenai asked Fang Xu to run and train with her each morning to improve her stamina, and he agreed while warning her not to overexert herself.
• Fang Xu noticed Shinku Yuhi watching them from a tree but pretended not to see him as Shinku grew jealous of their closeness.
• Kurenai and Fang Xu promised to train together again the next morning, then parted ways.
• At the Ninja Hospital, Chiba Miwa asked Fang Xu to assess and debride a Chunin’s infected arm wound.
• Fang Xu carefully cleaned the wound and applied medical chakra, easing the Chunin’s pain and earning Chiba’s approval.

Fang Xu left his medical internship when he sensed that the Pokémon Egg was about to hatch, then welcomed a newly hatched Pichu and fed it. After Pichu fell asleep, Fang Xu was left with his new Pokémon at home.

• Fang Xu impressed Chiba Miwa and the Medical Corps with how quickly he learned to treat patients during his hospital work.
• Fang Xu sensed the Pokémon Egg was about to hatch and asked Chiba Miwa for an hour away from the hospital.
• Fang Xu returned home and entered the Beast Taming Space, where he watched Pichu hatch and welcomed it through their contract bond.
• Fang Xu summoned Pichu into the real world and used the Gourmet Tablecloth to provide it with warm nutritious milk.
• Pichu drank the milk, grew sleepy, and curled up to sleep beside Fang Xu.

Fang Xu felt Pichu’s contract feedback strengthen his body and refine his lightning, which had turned golden and gained a trace of Electric-type essence. As Pichu’s power grew in the Beast Taming Space and the Berry saplings flourished, Fang Xu looked forward to raising Pichu and receiving greater feedback from it in the future.

• Fang Xu recalled the sleeping Pichu into the Beast Taming Space, where the space’s energy enveloped it.
• Pichu’s contract feedback slightly improved Fang Xu’s mental strength, vitality, physique, and lightning control.
• Fang Xu discovered that his lightning had turned golden and gained a hint of Pichu’s Electric-type essence, making it easier to control precisely.
• Fang Xu sensed that Pichu’s Electric-type power was growing and that blue-and-gold lightning was nourishing its body as it adapted to electricity.
• Fang Xu promised to raise Pichu so it could nourish him in return once it grew stronger.
• Fang Xu checked the Berry grove and found that more than one hundred saplings had grown healthier and begun to spread out.

Fang Xu recognized that the Beast Taming Space could accelerate plant growth, so he bought seeds and saplings and planted them there as a sustainable resource base. He covered the unusual planting by putting ordinary saplings and vegetable seeds in his backyard, then returned to the Ninja Hospital to resume his Medical Ninjutsu work.

• Fang Xu realized the Beast Taming Space could strengthen plants as well as support tamed beasts, and decided to use its vacant land for crops and medicinal herbs.
• Fang Xu bought vegetable and fruit seeds, saplings, and basic medicinal herb seeds at the western market, telling the sellers he was studying Medical Ninjutsu.
• Fang Xu planted Berries, fruit trees, vegetables, and medicinal herbs in the Beast Taming Space, while keeping some supplies for his backyard.
• Fang Xu planted ordinary saplings and vegetable seeds in his backyard to disguise the missing plants and make the yard look freshly planted.
• Fang Xu returned to the Ninja Hospital, where Chiba Miwa sent him to assess a Chunin's shoulder laceration.

Fang Xu treated an injured Chunin and continued balancing hospital work, training, and care for Pichu and the growing plants in his beast taming space. When his exchange talent recovered, he sent a chakra-infused snake to Professor Oak's laboratory, where it appeared alongside the sudden disappearance of an Everstone.

• Fang Xu carefully removed splinters and treated the Chunin's shoulder wound with help from a nurse.
• Over the next two days, Fang Xu trained, sent a shadow clone to the Ninja Academy, and watched Pichu and the plants develop in the beast taming space.
• Fang Xu exchanged a captured chakra-infused snake after his exchange talent's cooldown ended.
• At Professor Oak's laboratory, the Everstone vanished and Fang Xu's paralyzed snake appeared on the floor.
• Professor Oak excitedly approached the unfamiliar snake, but Nanami stopped him and ordered Alakazam to examine it safely.

Nanami and Professor Oak investigated the disappearance of the Everstone and the arrival of a large snake, comparing it with the earlier exchange of a Special Pikachu Egg for a boar. They agreed the repeated appearances of ordinary animals were no coincidence, prepared to improve laboratory safety, and Professor Oak speculated that Arceus might be behind the exchanges.

• Nanami and Professor Oak compared the missing Everstone and arriving snake with the earlier missing Special Pikachu Egg and arriving boar, and considered how the exchanges might work.
• Professor Oak grew excited at the prospect of studying and breeding ordinary animals, while Nanami worried that more dangerous creatures could appear.
• Nanami urged Professor Oak to prepare quarantine, testing, housing, and breeding areas, and he agreed to raise the laboratory's safety standards.
• Nanami pointed out that the Pokémon Egg and Everstone were valuable too, and Professor Oak reasoned that the powerful entity had no need to act maliciously.
• Professor Oak suggested that Arceus might be sending the lost animals so researchers could help restore a missing part of the world.

Professor Oak investigated the ordinary animals and their unfamiliar energy while Arceus watched, hoping Fang Xu’s trades would bring change to the Pokémon World. Fang Xu realized Arceus had addressed him and began considering what to trade next; three days later, he faced an extraordinarily fast ninja chicken in the Forest of Death.

• Professor Oak told Nanami he wanted to study the boar, the snake, and the unfamiliar energy inside them.
• Arceus watched the laboratory and hoped Fang Xu’s trades would introduce changes to the Pokémon World.
• Fang Xu received an Everstone and concluded Arceus had called him the unknown trader, so he resolved to seek more ninja beasts and useful items.
• Fang Xu decided to keep the Everstone for a future Pokémon and suspected Arceus might reject chakra techniques to avoid disrupting the balance between humans and Pokémon.
• Three days later, Fang Xu paralyzed a fast ninja chicken with Lightning Release Chakra after it charged from the bushes and pecked a hole in a tree.

Fang Xu exchanged a ninja chicken, a Chakra Refinement Technique scroll, and his chakra for a spatial ring Nicolas Flamel had created. Flamel studied the unfamiliar chakra system and recognized it as a new path to power.

• Fang Xu wondered why so many animals in the Forest of Death displayed chakra, then exchanged a ninja chicken, a copied scroll, and a mass of chakra.
• Nicolas Flamel completed a ring with a permanently fixed Undetectable Extension Charm for his planned ecological garden.
• The ring vanished from Flamel’s protected workshop, and a ninja chicken, the scroll, and two chakra crystals appeared in its place.
• Flamel examined the chakra crystal and read the scroll, learning that chakra could be refined by combining mental and physical energy.

Nicolas Flamel studied the chakra system and recognized its potential to complement magic, while Fang Xu received a vast Spatial Ring and an inheritance crystal in exchange. After testing the ring, Fang Xu returned home and began absorbing the crystal’s Meditation Method, Extension Charm, and basic alchemical knowledge.

• Nicolas Flamel examined the chakra crystals and ninja chicken, then stored them and began recording his thoughts on how chakra might interact with magic.
• Fang Xu concluded that chakra could change the worlds it entered and reasoned that Arceus opposed humans gaining a cultivation system because it could disrupt the balance between trainers and Pokémon.
• Fang Xu received a Spatial Ring that could hold living creatures in a space spanning a hundred li and an inheritance crystal containing a Meditation Method, the Undetectable Extension Charm, and simplified alchemical knowledge.
• Fang Xu tested the ring with chakra and mental strength, confirming that it worked and that its interior maintained a stable environment.
• After checking his home for observers, Fang Xu pressed the inheritance crystal to his brow and began digesting the Meditation Method.

Fang Xu developed two chakra-powered Spatial Bracelets that each held ten cubic meters and could last ten years, then brought them to Hatake Sakumo to sell. He explained how they differed from Sealing Scrolls, leaving Sakumo and Kakashi to consider the unusual invention.

• Fang Xu used meditation to improve his mental strength and successfully cast the Undetectable Extension Charm with chakra.
• He tested Shinobi World materials and found chakra-conductive metal best for creating stable, long-lasting spatial items, though it was extremely expensive.
• Fang Xu made two Spatial Bracelets, each with ten cubic meters of storage and an expected lifespan of ten years, and decided to sell them discreetly to Hatake Sakumo.
• Fang Xu visited the Hatake Residence while Hatake Sakumo was training Kakashi and offered him the bracelets.
• Fang Xu explained that the bracelets allowed repeated storage and retrieval without the limitations of a spatial Sealing Scroll.

Fang Xu showed Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi his reusable Spatial Bracelets and asked for help assessing their value because he was short on funds. After testing them, Hatake Sakumo agreed to buy both, but Fang Xu had not yet heard his offer.

• Fang Xu demonstrated that the Spatial Bracelet stored and retrieved items with chakra alone, and Kakashi recognized its usefulness for missions.
• Hatake Sakumo warned Fang Xu not to make the invention public and said it surpassed ordinary spatial Sealing Scrolls in capacity, durability, and convenience.
• Fang Xu said producing the two bracelets had exhausted his funds and asked Hatake Sakumo to assess their value or help him sell them safely.
• Hatake Sakumo tested the bracelets, warned that outside buyers might target their maker, and offered to buy both.
• Kakashi tested the second bracelet and confirmed how easily it stored and retrieved a cup.
• Hatake Sakumo described the bracelets as valuable to Elite Jonin, Anbu, caravan guards, and ninja clan leaders, then agreed to buy them, and Fang Xu asked how much he would pay.

Fang Xu sold two Spatial Bracelets to Hatake Sakumo for thirty million ryo and taught him and Kakashi how to secure them. Sakumo warned Fang Xu to keep his ability to make spatial equipment secret, and Fang Xu left the Hatake Residence with the money and his teacher’s advice.

• Hatake Sakumo offered Fang Xu thirty million ryo for the two Spatial Bracelets, and Fang Xu accepted.
• Sakumo handed Fang Xu a Sealing Scroll containing the money, and Fang Xu trusted him enough not to check it.
• Fang Xu explained the bracelets’ blood binding and chakra lock, and Kakashi and Sakumo secured their bracelets and tested them.
• Sakumo warned Fang Xu that others might try to control him if they learned he could produce spatial equipment, and Fang Xu promised to keep it secret.
• Fang Xu left the Hatake Residence, and Sakumo told Kakashi to continue training.

Fang Xu spent part of his thirty million ryo on chakra metal, a custom lightning-conducting longblade, and medicinal herbs for his training. After returning home, he planted herb seedlings and seeds in the Beast Taming Space, where its life-promoting power quickly revived the plants.

• Fang Xu visited Tenten Ninja Tool Shop and bought a kilogram of chakra metal, commissioning an Eight-Sided Han Sword-shaped Chakra Longblade for eighteen million five hundred thousand ryo total.
• The shopkeeper told Fang Xu that he had named the shop after the daughter he hoped to have someday, whom he planned to name Tenten.
• Fang Xu bought recovery herbs, medicinal seedlings, and seeds from the Nara Clan's medicinal herb shop, choosing them based on the pharmacology Tsunade and Chiba Miwa had taught him.
• Fang Xu returned home, secured and sorted his purchases, and planted the seedlings and seeds in the Beast Taming Space.
• The Beast Taming Space's life-promoting power quickly revived some of the herb seedlings, pleasing Fang Xu.

Fang Xu trained Pichu and continued his own preparations as two months passed. With the Third Kazekage still missing, Sunagakure’s leaders debated how to contain the crisis, and Ebizo proposed war against Konoha to unite the village and secure support from the Daimyo.

• Fang Xu helped Pichu practice controlling his electric current, then prepared recovery medicine and trained.
• Two months after the Third Kazekage disappeared, Sunagakure’s leaders faced growing rumors, pressure from the Daimyo, and the threat of Iwagakure.
• The senior officials argued over whether to keep hiding the disappearance or appoint an acting Kazekage.
• Ebizo warned that the village’s internal crisis and outside threats would worsen if they continued searching without a plan.
• Ebizo proposed war as a way to unite Sunagakure and named Konoha as the target.
