Chapter Summaries

Yinglang explained why Yutian had struggled in theory class and offered him covert training in exchange for future support. Yutian left determined to pass the Water Walking test, while Yinglang was left exhausted by his guidance.

• Yinglang told Yutian he needed dependable allies and promised to support his training in exchange for Yutian's future backing.
• Yinglang set a two-week deadline for Yutian to pass the Water Walking test and warned him to hide his progress.
• Yutian asked why Kagami and the favored students learned theory so much faster, and Yinglang showed him a coded sheet of dots as an example.
• Yinglang explained that Yuanguang's circle used insider terminology while giving other students confusing, incomplete explanations, and that Yutian's difficulty was not a lack of talent.
• Yutian thanked Yinglang and left the grove with renewed resolve, while Yinglang realized the guidance had nearly exhausted him.

In the winter of Konoha’s sixth year, Yinglang trained Yutian to control wind chakra under intense stimulation and revealed that he had awakened a one-tomoe Sharingan. He left Yutian with an outrageous list of possible awakening methods and four days to master Water Walking.

• Yinglang coached Yutian to push chakra to his fingertips and use chili-induced pain to improve his control while coating and throwing three shuriken.
• Yutian hit the tree with a near-correct triangle, and Yinglang praised his chakra timing and precision.

• Yinglang reminded Yutian that Water Walking was due in four days, and Yutian resolved that there was more than one path forward.

At Konoha’s year-end assessment, Yutian struggled through the weighted run while trying to keep pace with the elite candidates. He finished twenty-ninth and advanced to the next stage, exhausted but newly determined.

• Tetsu Uchiha announced that the first stage required the candidates to carry sandbags through thirty laps, with only the first thirty finishers advancing.
• Yutian carried a heavy sandbag and began the run near the back of the middle group, while Kagami Uchiha stayed among the leaders.
• As candidates dropped out and Kagami passed him, Yutian drew on Yinglang’s words and forced himself to keep moving.
• Near his limit, Yutian used his improvised pushing method to continue and lunged across the finish line, where another child caught his arm before he fell.
• Tetsu Uchiha announced Kagami Uchiha in first place and Yutian in twenty-ninth, confirming that Yutian had passed the first stage.

After the weighted run, Tetsu Uchiha tested the children’s chakra control by having them cross a pool on floating boards, and only a handful passed. Yutian failed once but used his retest to cross successfully, leaving fifteen children to rest before the upcoming combat round.

• Tetsu Uchiha announced the floating-board chakra control test, and Yutian fell into the pool on his first attempt as other children mocked him.
• Yinglang encouraged Yutian through Sound-to-Thread while most of the children failed the test.
• Uchiha Yinglang crossed the boards steadily, and Kagami Uchiha completed the course with exceptional control.
• Yutian stepped forward for a retest and carefully crossed all ten boards without falling.
• Tetsu Uchiha announced that the fifteen remaining children would rest for an hour before combat sparring, and Yutian began recovering.

Yutian and Yinglang won their third-round sparring matches, advancing as the assessment narrowed to eight contenders. After announcing another fifteen-minute rest, Tetsu Uchiha prepared to continue with the next round.

• Tetsu Uchiha announced that eight contestants remained and ordered a fifteen-minute rest before the next round.

The year-end assessment narrowed to four as Yutian surrendered to Kagami and Yinglang advanced through a series of apparent accidents. Yinglang reached the final against Kagami, leaving Yutian wondering whether he could actually win.

• Yutian fought Kagami but gave up after Yinglang warned him that continuing could leave him injured and unable to train.
• Yinglang defeated Uchiha Honoikazuchi when a fall tore Honoikazuchi's trousers, forcing Tetsu Uchiha to declare Yinglang the winner.
• Kagami defeated Uchiha Tomohisa, while Yinglang advanced past Uchiha Ken after Ken's pouch came loose and Yinglang's fall swept his ankle.
• Tetsu Uchiha announced that Kagami and Yinglang would meet in the final after an hour's rest.
• Yinglang reassured Yutian with a subtle look as he was helped away, and Yutian began to think he might have a chance against Kagami.

Uchiha Yinglang dropped his act and briefly overpowered Kagami, who awakened his Sharingan and turned the fight around. As Kagami prepared to finish him, Yinglang revealed that he had awakened an identical one-tomoe Sharingan.

• Kagami began the final match by advancing on Yinglang, who dodged two casual strikes with seemingly clumsy accidents.

• Kagami struck Yinglang in the ribs and swept at his supporting leg, leaving him hurt and struggling to stay upright.
• As Kagami prepared a finishing blow, Yinglang looked up and revealed his own one-tomoe Sharingan.

During the year-end assessment, five-year-old Yinglang revealed his awakened Sharingan and countered Kagami Uchiha’s attacks with precise, unconventional techniques. After Yinglang dismantled Kagami’s Great Fireball with chakra-guided shuriken, he asked whether Kagami still wanted to fight.

• Yinglang revealed a One-Tomoe Sharingan, shocking Kagami and the children watching the assessment.

• Yinglang asked the pale-faced Kagami whether he still wanted to fight.

Uchiha Yinglang defeated Uchiha Kagami in the year-end assessment despite Kagami awakening a two-tomoe Sharingan during their fight. Tetsu Uchiha declared Yinglang the ultimate winner.

• Kagami's rage caused his Sharingan to evolve to two tomoe, and he launched a faster, more dangerous attack on Yinglang.
• Yinglang dodged Kagami's knife-hand and used a curving shuriken to wound him and set up a scissor sweep that knocked him down.

After Uchiha Gen was gravely wounded in an ambush by the Tsuchigumo Clan, Yinglang suspected Yuanguang Uchiha of arranging the attack to seize power and align the Uchiha with Konoha. Yinglang revealed his forbidden technique and was authorized to manage clan affairs while Uchiha Gen recovered, leaving him poised to move against Yuanguang.

• Uchiha Lei arrived bloodied and reported that the Tsuchigumo Clan had ambushed Uchiha Gen with Raging Hair Heaven.

• Yinglang confronted the Uchiha elders and accused Yuanguang of leaking Elder Xuan’s route to the Tsuchigumo Clan.

Kagami resolved to grow stronger and prove his father’s path was right after Yuanguang’s downfall. Meanwhile, Hashirama and Tobirama argued over the danger of Yinglang’s forbidden technique, and Yinglang used a newly acquired feng shui method to detect tensions in the Uchiha clan, especially around Kagami.

• Kagami blamed the clan and Yinglang for his father’s fall, then decided to train harder and challenge Yinglang through strength earned fairly.
• Hashirama confronted Tobirama about whether he had arranged the attack on Tsuchigumo, and Tobirama defended the need to counter the Uchiha’s Dragon-Slaying Breathing Technique.
• Tobirama warned that the technique could let the Uchiha turn children into powerful, loyal fighters, and Hashirama was shaken by the possibility of children being made to fight.
• Yinglang received a fragment of the Book of Shaking the Dragon through his weekly draw and learned a method for observing feng shui and the flow of qi.
• Yinglang sensed resentment around Yuanguang’s residence spreading toward Kagami, whose aura suggested conflict between his Uchiha origins and the Will of Fire.
• Yinglang marked the locations with unusual auras on a map and planned to visit them, especially Kagami’s training spot.

While watching over the injured Elder Xuan, Yinglang comforted Liuli and gave her a Fake Immortality Pill for her father, bringing them closer and prompting her to offer help with clan affairs. The next morning, Yinglang prepared to face the Elders' Council and received a message that Tobirama wanted to see him.

• Uchiha Lei told Yinglang that Elder Yuanguang had claimed to be ill and that Tobirama wanted Yinglang to visit the Hokage Office.

Yinglang confronted Tobirama Senju over Yuanguang’s punishment and Konoha’s control of the Uchiha, then awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan. His resolve to leave the Uchiha and establish the Toyotomi House hardened, and he headed to speak with the recovering Elder Xuan before departing.

• Yinglang decided he could no longer remain in the Uchiha Clan and reaffirmed his plan to establish the Toyotomi House, while intending to repay Elder Xuan’s kindness first.
• Yutian told Yinglang that Tobirama Senju had summoned him again and that Kagami had been training furiously after Yuanguang lost his authority.

• Yinglang tested his Sharingan in a deserted alley, sensed a closer connection between it and his dragon essence, and went to visit Elder Xuan.

Yinglang told Elder Xuan that Konoha’s hostility toward the Uchiha made the clan’s future unsafe and proposed secretly creating a refuge outside the Land of Fire. Elder Xuan approved the plan and agreed to arrange trusted scouts, while Yinglang considered possible locations for the base and the future Toyotomi House.

• After leaving Elder Xuan, Yinglang considered Rōran, the Land of Demons, and the Land of Ghosts, while favoring undiscovered land as the foundation for the future Toyotomi House.

After awakening his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Uchiha Yinglang explored how its spiritual power fused with his dragon essence and assessed his growing strength. He concluded that he had entered ordinary Kage level, with the potential to challenge strong Kage, and began considering how to advance his plans.

• Yinglang tested the fused gray-white qi, which silently pulverized stone and corroded a wooden post from within.
• Yinglang divided shinobi strength into tiers from weak Kage through Six Paths level and judged his physical power to be at least that of an ordinary Kage.

• Yinglang left the training ground at dawn and considered accelerating his overseas base, Uchiha escape route, and Toyotomi House plans while preparing to catch up to Tobirama Senju.

Yinglang used South Wind and the Anywhere Door to discover and reach a vast, undeveloped continent south of the Land of Fire, which he named Great Britain and planned to rule himself. He concealed the continent from Elder Xuan, instead proposing a separate escape base for the Uchiha in the Land of Ghosts.

• Yinglang observed migratory birds, then used Reverse Summoning to travel with South Wind to a vast southern continent with no shinobi civilization.

• Yinglang planned Great Britain around a directly ruled core territory, frontier noble domains, and chartered colonial companies.
• Yinglang brought Yutian through the Anywhere Door, explained the dangers and purpose of the new land, and gained his pledge to serve as its governor.
• Yinglang replaced Yutian’s chakra seed with one shaped by his dragon essence, strengthening Yutian and binding his power to Yinglang.

• Yinglang planted misleading evidence and traces at the scene to frame Yuanguang and the Tsuchigumo for conspiring and killing one another.
• Uchiha En's patrol found the bodies, and the clan accepted the staged account that Yuanguang and the Tsuchigumo chief had died in a betrayal and counterattack.
