Ye Feng left the Land of Birds with Qiuyu Yuna and Matsumoto Tiannai, accepting a parting gift from Ōsagi and setting out toward the Land of Bears at a leisurely pace. After giving Garurumon three days off, he traveled with the women and stopped at a secluded lake, where they went swimming.

Ye Feng struggled against Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, using lightning and a developing Kirin attack while trying to buy time. When Isshiki overwhelmed him, Ye Feng opened the sixth gate of the Eight Gates Released Formation and moved too quickly for Isshiki to track.

• Ye Feng told Orochimaru that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had defeated him in his First Form and described the enemy’s abilities and possible weakness.

The group bought ingredients and returned to Ye Feng's home, where the other shadow clones forced the clone who had gone out to cook while Ye Feng continued training.

• Near the Ninja Academy, Inuzuka Clan Fengyu and Kurenai Yuhi greeted Ye Feng's shadow clone and learned that Matsumoto Tiannai and Qiuyu Yuna were his maids.

• The group went to the market for ingredients, but Asuma Sarutobi had to pay because the others had no money.
• At Ye Feng's house, the group found nine shadow clones waiting to confront the clone that had left, while Ye Feng remained absorbed in training.
• When Matsumoto Tiannai and Qiuyu Yuna blushed at the suggestion that they cook, the nine clones ordered the returning clone to make dinner, and he reluctantly carried the ingredients into the kitchen.

Ye Feng woke from cultivation stronger after his battle with Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and faced questions about Matsumoto Tiannai and Qiuyu Yuna becoming his maids. Qiuyu Yuna revealed that Ye Feng and Tiannai had already crossed a boundary, leaving Inuzuka Clan Fengyu and Kurenai Yuhi glaring at him as everyone waited for an explanation.

After his friends left, Qiuyu Yuna revealed what his shadow clones had done while he was cultivating, and the clones challenged Ye Feng to deny they reflected his own thoughts.

• Ye Feng confronted the shadow clones, but they insisted they shared his thoughts, leaving him wondering whether they were really his clones.

Ye Feng agreed to let his shadow clones continue existing after he reached cultivation perfection, as long as they contributed true qi and committed no heinous acts. He carried Inuzuka Clan Fengyu home and explained to her parents why he hoped she would move on, but Fengyu remained torn between her feelings for him and the thought of living without him.

• Ye Feng listened as a shadow clone explained that the clones had developed independent thoughts, then offered to let them remain after his cultivation reached perfection if they helped him and behaved themselves.

• After Ye Feng left, Fengyu's mother warned her that following him would only bring heartbreak, while Fengyu struggled with the thought of a life without him.

Ye Feng returned home and tried to keep his shadow clones from interfering with his relationships, but they attempted to poach Matsumoto Tiannai and Qiuyu Yuna for themselves.

• Ye Feng brought the clones to cultivate true qi, then continued absorbing their energy through the evening and night without interruption.

After completing another round of cultivation, Ye Feng went out with Qiuyu Yuna and Matsumoto Tiannai, but encountered an angry Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze confronting three Uchiha.

At Uchiha Fugaku’s wedding, Ye Feng’s fortune-telling persuaded Takeda Hyuga to delay Hyuga Hiashi’s marriage for five years, and Ye Feng traded barbs with Jiraiya over his attention to the women accompanying him.
