Jiraiya and the Fourth Raikage struggled against the Akatsuki and the reincarnated Kage until Orochimaru withdrew the Kage and abandoned Kakuzu and Deidara. Uchiha Itachi attacked Nagato to reach Naruto, but Orochimaru ambushed him, then proposed that he and Nagato team up against Itachi.

• Jiraiya pressed Deidara for the Akatsuki leader's identity while evading his clay bombs, and the Fourth Raikage asked how to stop the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu.
• Jiraiya told the Fourth Raikage that sealing was the known way to restrain the reincarnated, but the Raikage lacked sealing skills.

• Orochimaru ambushed Itachi with the three reincarnated Kage and asked Nagato to join forces against him.

Nagato extracted the Nine-Tails from Naruto Uzumaki, but Obito took it away before Orochimaru and Itachi could stop him. After the battle left Jiraiya’s group devastated, Orochimaru found his base stripped bare, while Jiraiya returned to Konoha determined to uncover Danzo’s past agreement with Itachi.

• Jiraiya returned to Konoha and demanded that Danzo explain his agreement with Uchiha Itachi, but Danzo refused, so Jiraiya decided to question Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.

In Kirigakure, Mei Terumi planned to take advantage of Sunagakure’s losses and bring the village under Kirigakure’s control. Liu Feng agreed to go with Pakura and Kushina, but left their method of subduing Sunagakure unclear.

• Pakura reported that the Akatsuki had captured the Nine-Tails and that the major Ninja Villages had suffered heavy losses.
• Mei Terumi proposed sending Pakura to bring Sunagakure under Kirigakure’s control, and Liu Feng supported the plan despite Pakura’s unpopularity there.
• Pakura agreed to go, and Mei Terumi asked Liu Feng to accompany her; Liu Feng accepted and assigned Pakura as his guard.
• Kushina insisted on joining Liu Feng’s trip, and he agreed to take her.
• Liu Feng prepared to leave at once, then told Kushina they would not use force to subdue Sunagakure.

Liu Feng arrived in Sunagakure and demanded that it submit to Kirigakure, giving Ebizo half a day to decide. Ebizo gathered Sunagakure’s Jonin to discuss their choices, while Baki questioned whether they had any real alternative.

• Liu Feng, Kushina, and Pakura traveled through a sandstorm and reached Sunagakure, where Ebizo received them.
• Liu Feng told Ebizo that Sunagakure must submit to Kirigakure, and Kushina threatened him when he objected.
• Ebizo asked for time to consider, and Liu Feng gave him half a day to answer.

• Ebizo gathered Baki and the other Sunagakure Jonin to discuss the demand, and Baki asked whether they had any other choice.

Sunagakure’s Jonin voted to submit to Kirigakure rather than risk destruction, and Ebizo accepted Liu Feng’s terms. Liu Feng abolished Sunagakure’s identity, left Pakura to suppress dissent, and returned to Kirigakure with Kushina.

• Liu Feng used Yomotsu Hirasaka to return to Kirigakure with Kushina, who said she had expected a battle.

After Sunagakure submitted to Kirigakure, the other great villages feared Kirigakure’s growing power and considered joining forces against it. Meanwhile, Obito returned to the Akatsuki hideout, killed Nagato, and revealed that he intended to take the Rinnegan for himself.

• News that Sunagakure had joined Kirigakure spread, prompting Jiraiya, Ōnoki, and the Fourth Raikage to fear for their villages and consider an alliance.
• Jiraiya struggled with Danzo’s political challenge and growing unrest among Konoha’s clans, while Ōnoki and the Fourth Raikage worried that Kirigakure had shattered the balance among the great villages.
• Mei Terumi warned Liu Feng that the other villages might unite against Kirigakure, but Liu Feng remained focused on the Akatsuki Organization’s silence.
• Obito returned to the Akatsuki hideout after Kakashi destroyed the Curse Mark on his heart, freeing him to pursue the Moon Eye Plan.
• Obito attacked Nagato, revealed he was not Uchiha Madara, and declared that he would take Nagato’s Rinnegan.

Obito took Nagato’s Rinnegan and used it to revive the Ten-Tails, while Black Zetsu prepared for the possibility that Obito’s plans would fail. The Ten-Tails was now under Obito’s control, and Black Zetsu secretly worked to preserve another path to Kaguya Otsutsuki’s resurrection.

• Obito confronted Nagato over the Rinnegan, but Uchiha Itachi attacked with Amaterasu and rescued Nagato, taking one of his eyes.

• Itachi gave Orochimaru the Rinnegan as payment for reviving the four Hokage, but Black Zetsu stole it and escaped.
• Orochimaru failed to track Black Zetsu and demanded Itachi’s eyes as compensation for the lost Rinnegan.

Liu Feng revived Uchiha Madara with Impure World Reincarnation but kept his purpose secret, and Madara set out to use Obito to investigate him. Obito learned that Minato Namikaze had returned to Konoha and prepared to attack, despite warnings that several Hokage had also been revived.

• Liu Feng told Uchiha Madara that Obito Uchiha had betrayed him, but refused to reveal why he had revived him.

• Mei Terumi asked Liu Feng whether Kirigakure would aid Konoha, and Liu Feng agreed while bringing Mikoto, Kushina, Tsunade, and others ahead of the slower Kirigakure forces.

• Kushina punched Senju Tobirama and blew apart his head after he insulted Liu Feng’s family.
• Senju Tobirama tried to retaliate with Flying Thunder God Slash, but Liu Feng pinned him to the ground with a Black Rod and stepped on his face.

Liu Feng continued humiliating Senju Tobirama for his past treatment of the Uchiha, ignoring appeals from Tsunade and Senju Hashirama. The chapter left Liu Feng facing Hashirama after easily destroying his Wood Style attack and warning that a fight could level Konoha.

• Liu Feng told Senju Hashirama that he had destroyed Senju Tobirama’s soul, and Tsunade stood between them to stop Hashirama from attacking.
• Jiraiya, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and others urged Senju Hashirama to calm down, and he abandoned revenge rather than risk Konoha’s destruction.
• Ōnoki reminded the group that Obito Uchiha was their enemy, and Liu Feng said the Ten-Tails was stronger than all of them and nearing Konoha.
• Ninja reported that the White Zetsu Army and the Ten-Tails were approaching, so Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi called for an attack before they reached the village.
• Minato Namikaze took Hiruzen Sarutobi to scout the enemy, while Liu Feng told the Fourth Raikage that Kirigakure’s ninja were on their way and would bring a surprise.

Liu Feng planned to use Kirigakure’s arrival to eliminate those who would not submit and rule the Ninja World, while Jiraiya, Ōnoki, and the Fourth Raikage set out to confront Obito Uchiha. At the battlefield, the group saw the Ten-Tails, and Kushina teased Tsunade about being an old woman.

• Liu Feng reassured the Fourth Raikage that Kirigakure’s ninja were coming, while secretly planning to use them to wipe out his opponents.

• Kushina teased Tsunade by calling her an old woman, then hid behind Mikoto when Tsunade threatened to hit her.

• Mikoto pried Kushina away and handed her to Tsunade, who scolded her while Liu Feng watched Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama fight.
• Obito Uchiha sent a Tailed Beast Bomb toward Liu Feng, who redirected it through a Yomotsu Hirasaka portal and made it explode above the Ten-Tails.

• Obito used the Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal to seal the Ten-Tails inside himself and began to transform.
• Kushina judged Obito's Chakra and said she could defeat him, but Liu Feng explained that Obito had not fully controlled the Ten-Tails or become a Perfect Jinchuriki.

Obito Uchiha became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and fought Senju Hashirama while adapting to the Ten-Tails’ power. Tsunade joined the battle with True Several Thousand Hands, leaving Hashirama astonished by her Wood Style and Sage Mode.

Tsunade and Kushina gained Yomotsu Hirasaka from Liu Feng while the battle against the White Zetsu Army continued. Mei Terumi had yet to bring Kirigakure into the fight, and Uchiha Madara watched Liu Feng’s group from a distance.

• Tsunade asked Liu Feng for help learning Space-time Ninjutsu, and he gave her and Kushina Ability Acquisition Cards for Yomotsu Hirasaka.
• Tsunade and Kushina used the cards to acquire the space-time technique, while Mikoto remarked on the advantage of space-time abilities.

Obito used Chibaku Tensei to disable Minato Namikaze’s escape routes, defeated him, and then confronted Kakashi. Kakashi failed to change Obito’s mind about the Moon Eye Plan, while Liu Feng watched.
