• Hiruzen Sarutobi assumed Danzo was constipated, then was shocked to hear he had been standing there since the day before yesterday.

Danzo recovered from his injuries while enduring visits from Bieshu Feifan, Might Duy, and Might Guy, then learned Hiruzen Sarutobi had arranged the same discount for him as Feifan. Hiruzen sent Feifan and the two Might men on an unsupervised D-rank mission to find a merchant’s missing cat, and Feifan began devising a plan.

• After seeing the Cloud Ninja vomiting and suffering diarrhea, Bieshu Feifan sent Might Duy to fetch a doctor, who diagnosed acute gastroenteritis, infected wounds, and necrotic hands.
• The doctor learned that the captives had been fed feces mixed with swill, while Hiruzen Sarutobi received a letter asking why the envoys had not arrived at the Land of Lightning's border.

• Jiraiya delayed the escort at the Land of Hot Water border, then agreed with Bieshu Feifan and the others to bury the four dead Cloud Ninja before continuing the mission.

• Bieshu Feifan charged the Kumogakure envoy three million ryo for mission information, then left after making him buy paper and a pen.
• Might Duy demanded three million ryo for his account, accepted the envoy's Chakra Metal knuckle blades instead, and rambled about food during the mission.
• Might Guy refused to tell the envoy anything because he had no money, and the envoy left the Hokage's Office furious.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi worried that Jiraiya had disobeyed orders and that Konoha had offended Kumogakure, but Kumogakure made no response.
• Bieshu Feifan visited Jiraiya to learn senjutsu, and Jiraiya agreed after opening the box of books Bieshu brought as a gift.

• Jiraiya agreed to consider teaching Bieshu Feifan Senjutsu after checking his chakra and promised to keep his information secret.
• Jiraiya sensed that Bieshu Feifan had chakra reserves greater than most Jōnin, but explained that Senjutsu also required an affinity for natural energy and a calm mind.

• Bieshu Feifan failed to sense natural energy normally, then used his Innate Divine Ability to absorb it and form senjutsu chakra.
• A toad arrived and told Sage Fukasaku that the Great Toad Sage wanted to meet the newly arrived cultivators.

Bieshu Feifan waited with Sage Fukasaku for the Great Toad Sage to wake, then met with him alone. When the Great Toad Sage tried to discuss his dream of the Child of Prophecy, Bieshu Feifan drowned him out with jokes and an elaborate made-up tale, leaving the sage speechless.

• Bieshu Feifan and Sage Fukasaku waited for the Great Toad Sage to wake and passed the time playing cards.

After returning to Konoha, Bieshu Feifan learned the Chunin Ninja Exams were approaching and met the teammate Hiruzen Sarutobi had chosen for him and Might Duy.
