He uncovered an Uchiha Clan ambush and, as the attackers charged, revealed his lightning-nature chakra alongside a newly redeemed katana.

• The Third Hokage left Ling Feng with a warning, and Minato Namikaze offered to help; Ling Feng declined and suggested Minato choose Kakashi instead.

• The leader awakened a two-tomoe Sharingan and attacked Ling Feng at increased speed, but neither fighter could gain a decisive advantage.

• Minato Namikaze told Ling Feng that the Uchiha Clan Head had discussed the deaths with Hiruzen Sarutobi and that the investigation kept coming back to Ling Feng.

• Ling Feng arrived at the Hokage's office two hours after Minato delivered the summons, and Hiruzen remarked on his extensive training routine.

Ling Feng challenged the ANBU’s original plan and led Fox Mask, Cat Mask, and Dog Mask to intercept the Land of Fire’s senior officials before the enemy could attack. They reached the party just as twenty Kirigakure ninja ambushed them, and Ling Feng moved to protect the officials and face the attackers.

• Fox Mask told Ling Feng to wear an ANBU mask, but Ling Feng refused and said he would decide about masks in future missions.
• Ling Feng warned that the enemy might have changed plans after the ANBU purged its moles, then persuaded Fox Mask’s team to take a different route to the officials.
• Ling Feng led the team to the traveling party and spotted twenty Kirigakure ninja approaching with his Byakugan.
• Ling Feng ordered Fox Mask and the others to hide the officials as kunai flew toward them, and a mission appeared requiring him to eliminate all enemies within an hour.

Ling Feng used his Sharingan genjutsu to distract ten Kirigakure ninja and sent the Fox Mask and the others ahead to protect the VIP. He then killed the enemy leader with a lightning-charged kunai and his perfected Body Flicker Technique, while planning to improve his Byakugan and Sage Body.

• The Fox Mask and the other ANBU members urged Ling Feng to retreat, but he warned that Kirigakure had already exposed their identities and would attack the VIP with another group.
