Chapter Summaries

Uchiha Fugaku and Sato Ken returned from the front after improving through repeated battles, while Kinkaku and Ginkaku schemed against the Raikage. Itō Yuying then took a new team to the front, where Hyuga Yeyang had to intervene after Hanazawa Kazuo and Tian Qiran were overwhelmed by Kumogakure ninja.

• Sato Ken and Uchiha Fugaku reviewed their weaknesses with Itō Yuying before continuing five more days of battles against Kumogakure.
• The Raikage rebuked his defeated subordinates, while Kinkaku and Ginkaku devised a plan and the Raikage later sent younger ninja to fight Itō Yuying's team.
• Itō Yuying brought Uchiha Fugaku and Sato Ken back to the training base, where Fugaku defeated Hyuga Hiashi after Hiashi challenged him.
• Itō Yuying took Tian Qiran and Hanazawa Kazuo to the front, and Hyuga Yeyang led them on patrol in the northwest.
• A Kumogakure squad overwhelmed Hanazawa Kazuo and Tian Qiran, so Hyuga Yeyang stepped in, tore off their Jonin's arm, and drove the squad away.
• 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.
• Hyuga Yeyang led Tian Qiran and Hanazawa Kazuo on patrol, where Hanazawa fell for two Genin’s plea for mercy before Tian rescued him from their counterattack.
• Kinkaku ordered five Elite Jonin to distract Hyuga Yeyang and ten Chunin to capture his subordinates without killing them, so he could use a secret technique to learn their abilities.
• At the arranged battle, five Elite Jonin attacked Hyuga Yeyang, who evaded their initial attacks and fought back.
• 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.

• Hyuga Yeyang attacked the barrier with an Energy Ball, then shattered it with his Konoha Heaven-Damaging Fist.
• The Raikage stopped Hyuga Yeyang from reaching Kinkaku and Ginkaku and agreed to help capture him while the brothers continued extracting memories.
• As the Raikage fought Hyuga Yeyang, Kinkaku and Ginkaku urged him to capture Hyuga Yeyang so they could copy his memories too.
• Hyuga Yeyang rose into the sky and began charging a powerful new technique, while Kinkaku and Ginkaku fled and the Raikage watched warily.

Hyuga Yeyang defeated the Raikage, Kinkaku, and Ginkaku with a devastating lightning attack but nearly died afterward. Itō Yuying healed him, then fought the three men and survived Kinkaku and Ginkaku’s suicidal explosions by using a Senzu Bean.

• Hyuga Yeyang struck the Raikage, Kinkaku, and Ginkaku with Thunder Punishment, collapsing as the lightning finally faded.

• Itō Yuying exchanged points for a Senzu Bean and recovered from his injuries.

After Itō Yuying reported killing the Raikage and Kinkaku and Ginkaku, Konoha prepared for war with Kumogakure and assigned its commanders. Kumogakure chose Yotsuki A as its Third Raikage, and he rallied the village against Konoha.

• Itō Yuying returned to the Konoha camp and told Senju Ziyu that the Raikage, Kinkaku, and Ginkaku had died.
• Senju Ziyu sent Itō Yuying to inform Tobirama Senju, who convened Konoha’s leadership and organized the village’s war plans.

• 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. In Iwagakure, Mu learned why Itō Yuying had killed the Second Raikage and refused to send aid to the Cloud ninja.

Hiruzen Sarutobi coordinated Konoha’s response to the Cloud ninja invasion, sending reinforcements to Xiaogou Ridge and assigning Tsunade to protect the rear medical camp. 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.

Tsunade, Might Duy, Hyuga Yeyang, and Uchiha Hanyue fought off waves of Cloud Ninja until the Kage Level Nagu Yi arrived and badly wounded them. Uchiha Hanyue trapped Nagu Yi with Mirror Image and forced him to retreat, but his vision was failing as Nagu Yi prepared to attack again.

• Nagu Yi overwhelmed Uchiha Hanyue, Might Duy, and Hyuga Yeyang, but Tsunade’s compressed Ki attack and Hanyue’s Mirror Image caused a massive explosion that left Nagu Yi incapacitated.
• Shimura Danzō found Nagu Yi, recognized him as a powerful Cloud ninja, and took him and Tsunade’s group back to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi approved Tsunade and her companions joining the front lines as part of the second wave of reinforcements.

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

• 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.

• 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.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi fought the Raikage while Itō Yuying faced Bee, who taunted him and attacked at great speed.
• 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.

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.

• Itō Yuying pierced the Raikage and Hiruzen with a laser beam, then left as Jiraiya healed Hiruzen with a Senzu Bean.

With the Cloud Ninja ready to negotiate, Itō prepared to return to Konoha, while Black Zetsu secretly watched him and Might Duy challenged him to a fight.

• Itō Yuying told Jiraiya and Tsunade that the team would return to Konoha to rest before heading to the Land of Earth's front lines for more experience.
• The next morning, Itō Yuying led the group back to the Konoha Elite Training Base, then brought Sarutobi's battle report to Tobirama Senju.

• Second Tsuchikage Mu and Ōnoki asked Tobirama Senju whether Konoha planned to share its techniques, and Tobirama had Itō Yuying throw them out.
• After all five Kage arrived, the Mizukage provoked the Tsuchikage and Raikage until Tobirama Senju got them to settle down and begin the meeting.

• Itō Yuying left the meeting, flew to a snowy cliff, found a transparent diamond-shaped stone, and knocked an attacking snow eagle into an avalanche.
• The system told Itō Yuying that the stone could purify his Ki and stabilize his bloodline, but he questioned why the system cared so much about it.

After the system took the World Origin Crystal to upgrade, Itō Yuying spent time in the Land of Iron and met Mifune, who asked him for a swordsmanship spar. Itō accepted, despite the samurai accompanying Mifune fearing the challenge would get him killed.
