Itō Yuying brought Jiraiya, Uchiha Fugaku, and Sato Ken to the border for battlefield training, but his presence made the Cloud ninja avoid them. After several quiet days, Fugaku and Sato Ken finally fought a Cloud patrol and endured severe wounds before Jiraiya healed them with Senzu Beans.

• Itō Yuying set up camp near the border command post and told Jiraiya to help Fugaku and Sato Ken only if they were about to die.

• After Hanazawa Kazuo and Tian Qiran were healed with Senzu Beans, Hyuga Yeyang told them he hoped he would not need to rescue them again.

Kinkaku and Ginkaku arranged an ambush to capture Hyuga Yeyang’s subordinates and steal their abilities, while Konoha’s team fought Kumogakure ninja. The plan succeeded when Tian Qiran and Hanazawa Kazuo were knocked unconscious and carried away.

• The Raikage celebrated Kumogakure’s victory, while Kinkaku and Ginkaku decided to wait before putting their plan into action.

• Ten Chunin attacked Tian Qiran and Hanazawa Kazuo; after the pair fought off several attackers, Lightning Release stunned them, and the Chunin carried them away.

Kinkaku and Ginkaku began extracting memories from Tian Qiran and Hanazawa Kazuo while Hyuga Yeyang fought to reach them. After the Raikage intervened and kept Hyuga Yeyang occupied, Hyuga Yeyang began gathering power for a new technique, and Kinkaku and Ginkaku fled.

• Kinkaku and Ginkaku placed Tian Qiran and Hanazawa Kazuo on a formation platform and slowly extracted their memories.
• Hyuga Yeyang attacked the barrier with an Energy Ball, then shattered it with his Konoha Heaven-Damaging Fist.

• Hyuga Yeyang rose into the sky and began charging a powerful new technique, while Kinkaku and Ginkaku fled and the Raikage watched warily.

• Itō Yuying returned to the Konoha camp and told Senju Ziyu that the Raikage, Kinkaku, and Ginkaku had died.

• Yotsuki A accused Konoha of attacking Kumogakure and stirred its ninja to vow to fight Konoha to the death.

The Third Raikage rallied his forces for revenge while Itō Yuying brought reinforcements to Konoha’s camp, where he turned Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō’s attempt to saddle him with chores back on them.

Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya turned the battle at the ridge around, while Tsunade confronted Cloud squads attacking the logistics camp.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi learned that over a thousand Cloud ninja were attacking Xiaogou Ridge and ordered Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya to lead five hundred reinforcements there.

• Jiraiya killed an Elite Jonin with Bloodburst Shockwave, then used Ten-Finger Barrage to cut down Cloud ninja before several Elite Jonin counterattacked.

• The Cloud Elite Jonin chased Jiraiya, dislocated both his arms, and punched through his abdomen.
• The Cloud ninja cheered their Elite Jonin and attacked the Konoha ninja with renewed force.

A Cloud elite jonin attacked Uchiha Hanyue and his allies while demanding Nagui's location, then revealed himself as the Two-Tails' jinchūriki. Itō Yuying arrived as the Two-Tails broke free and began attacking both armies.

• The Cloud elite jonin dodged Uchiha Hanyue and Hyuga Yeyang's attacks, gouged out Hanyue's Mangekyō Sharingan, and knocked him unconscious.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi sent Itō Yuying to capture the jinchūriki, but Hyuga Yeyang released the Two-Tails' restraints, and it attacked both Konoha and Cloud ninjas.

Itō Yuying stopped the Two-Tails from attacking Konoha’s forces and defeated her, then let her Jinchūriki, Yugito Nii, escape with Uchiha Hanyue’s eyes. Yugito reported to the Raikage, who suspected Itō Yuying was interested in her, leaving her embarrassed and fleeing before he finished questioning her.

• Itō Yuying rescued Hyuga Yeyang and fought the Two-Tails, overpowering her and forcing her to retreat into Yugito Nii.

• Yugito Nii, embarrassed by the Raikage’s teasing, ran out of the Raikage’s Office before he finished questioning her.

The Raikage led the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and 1,000 troops to the battlefield, prompting Hiruzen Sarutobi to bring Itō Yuying and 400 men to meet them. As the forces clashed, Itō Yuying fought Bee but was caught in a relentless barrage of tailed attacks.

• Itō Yuying's clone was destroyed, and Bee trapped him in a growing barrage of tails that battered him too severely to use Instant Transmission.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Itō Yuying gained the upper hand against the Raikage and Bee, but Bee escaped after joining forces with Eight-Tails. Itō Yuying locked onto Bee as the battlefield’s fighters watched, while the Raikage desperately tried to negotiate.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi took to the air and harried the Raikage with Ninjutsu, while the Raikage pressed him with close-range attacks.

• The Raikage asked Hiruzen Sarutobi to let Bee go in exchange for withdrawing a hundred li, but Hiruzen ignored him as the battlefield’s fighters watched Itō Yuying.

Itō Yuying unleashed a devastating attack while the Raikage held Hiruzen Sarutobi hostage, then launched his Void-Shattering Bomb at the fleeing Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Bee. The bomb vanished after carving a vast trench, leaving the outcome unclear.
