Ye Feng helped Shisui Uchiha, Matsumoto Tiannai, and Yuna learn to sense Natural Energy as they cultivated True Qi. After absorbing his shadow clones’ True Qi and breaking through a Spiritual Power barrier, Ye Feng awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

• Ye Feng sent Matsumoto Tiannai and Yuna to cultivate beside his shadow clones and ordered Shisui Uchiha to rest.
• Shisui Uchiha sensed Natural Energy later that day, and Ye Feng introduced him to the shadow clones as his new disciple.
• Ye Feng reassured Matsumoto Tiannai and Yuna about their slower progress, then advised Shisui Uchiha to rest properly when he struggled to sense Natural Energy at home.
• Matsumoto Tiannai and Yuna learned to sense Natural Energy within seven days, and Shisui Uchiha began converting it into True Qi after fifteen days.
• Ye Feng absorbed his shadow clones’ True Qi, used his Spiritual Power to break through a barrier, and awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Ye Feng discovered his Mangekyō Sharingan abilities and tested them in a fight with Orochimaru. He used Fleeting Moment to overwhelm Orochimaru, but the technique badly strained his left eye and consumed much of his chakra.

• Ye Feng discovered that his left eye had Fleeting Moment, which could alter time in a small area, and his right eye had Void Severance, which transferred damage from a phantom to its original.
• Ye Feng traveled to Orochimaru's laboratory and asked him to spar so he could test his new abilities.
• Ye Feng and Orochimaru fought at the ruined site where Ye Feng had previously summoned Gamabunta, and Orochimaru used white snakes in Multiple Hidden Shadow Snake Hands.
• Ye Feng activated Fleeting Moment and slowed Orochimaru's perception, then easily bypassed his defense and held a kunai to his throat.
• Ye Feng suddenly cried out in pain as his left eye bled; he realized Fleeting Moment had drained over half his chakra and placed severe strain on his eye.

Ye Feng tested his Mangekyō Sharingan abilities with Orochimaru, revealing his time-control power and developing Susanoo. The test turned into a confrontation, ending as Orochimaru summoned two coffins to fight back.

• Ye Feng told Orochimaru that his Mangekyō ability, Fleeting Moment, controlled time in a small area, and noticed that his ocular power had begun recovering.

• Orochimaru agreed to play along with Ye Feng's test, formed hand seals, and summoned two coffins marked one and two.

Ye Feng fought Tobirama Senju after Orochimaru summoned Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju with Impure World Reincarnation. Hashirama recognized that Ye Feng and Orochimaru were allies, then agreed to fight Ye Feng, who strengthened his Susanoo with armor and a shield.

• Orochimaru revealed that his Impure World Reincarnation could currently restore 80% of the dead person's strength, then summoned Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.
• Tobirama Senju charged Ye Feng, who shattered his Water Dragon Bullets with his Kusanagi Sword and forced him to escape using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
• Hashirama Senju deduced that Ye Feng and Orochimaru were allies and stopped Tobirama Senju from challenging Ye Feng again, saying Tobirama was no match at 80% strength.
• Hashirama Senju approached Ye Feng on a Wood Dragon and agreed to give him a proper fight after Ye Feng asked to exchange blows.
• Ye Feng increased his true qi and ocular power, transforming his Susanoo with blood-red armor, a mask, and a large shield.

• Ye Feng tested Susanoo’s shield with the Kusanagi Sword and found that it could not scratch the shield.
• Orochimaru told Tobirama Senju that Ye Feng had only just awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, astonishing Tobirama with Susanoo’s strength.
• Hashirama Senju attacked Ye Feng with Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence, and Ye Feng cut through the wooden tendrils with his glowing Kusanagi Sword.
• Ye Feng used Susanoo’s shield to withstand tendrils attacking from behind while Hashirama dodged the sword’s white crescent of light on his Wood Dragon.
• Hashirama Senju bound Susanoo with three Wood Dragons, but Ye Feng controlled the Kusanagi Sword to cut them apart and free himself.
• Tobirama Senju wondered how the sword could fly without chakra threads, while Orochimaru enjoyed seeing him shocked.

Ye Feng fought Hashirama Senju with his Susanoo and Kusanagi Sword, eventually gaining the advantage in close combat. Hashirama entered Sage Mode and prepared to unleash the rest of his strength, while Ye Feng braced for the attack.

• Ye Feng's sword energy shattered Hashirama Senju's Wood Human Technique after Hashirama used Wood Dragons to weaken the slash.
• Hashirama surrounded Ye Feng with eight wooden hands, but Ye Feng's Susanoo grew a lower body and leapt clear of their strike.
• Ye Feng charged Hashirama's wooden giant, and the two fought at close range as Ye Feng's movements improved and he cut off one of its arms.
• Tobirama Senju realized Ye Feng was outperforming Hashirama in close combat, and Hashirama praised Ye Feng before promising to use his remaining strength.
• Hashirama Senju entered Sage Mode, and his surging aura shook Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru as Ye Feng prepared to defend himself.

Hashirama Senju’s attempt to use True Several Thousand Hands failed when his Impure World Reincarnation body began to crumble. Before he returned to the land of the dead, Orochimaru told him about Konoha’s current troubles, while Ye Feng and Orochimaru hinted that he might meet Madara Uchiha again.

• Hashirama Senju’s True Several Thousand Hands shattered, and Ye Feng realized his damaged body could no longer withstand the chakra.

• Orochimaru explained that Shimura Danzō had plotted against Hiruzen Sarutobi and colluded with Sunagakure, but Ye Feng had helped end the war.
• Orochimaru hinted that he might summon Hashirama Senju to meet an old friend, and Hashirama Senju guessed that he meant Madara Uchiha.

Ye Feng reassured Tobirama Senju that he could control the Uchiha Clan, and Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju departed after entrusting Konoha to Ye Feng and Orochimaru. Back in Orochimaru's laboratory, Ye Feng suggested improving Impure World Reincarnation with Hashirama Senju's cells, and Orochimaru began the experiment.

• Tobirama Senju warned Ye Feng that the Uchiha Clan could threaten Konoha, and Ye Feng said he had the clan under control and plans to protect Konoha after he left.
• Orochimaru told Tobirama Senju that Ye Feng and the former Uchiha clan head had already killed nearly half the clan, quieting Tobirama's concerns.
• Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju released their Impure World Reincarnation and departed after Hashirama entrusted Konoha to Ye Feng and Orochimaru.
• Orochimaru refused Ye Feng's offer to continue fighting, and Ye Feng took him back to Konoha.
• Ye Feng suggested combining White Zetsu cells with Hashirama Senju's cells to strengthen Impure World Reincarnation, and Orochimaru summoned Hashirama's cells to begin researching the idea.

Ye Feng failed to advance his cultivation through effort alone and sent his shadow clones to pursue leads and consider forming an organization. Before leaving Konoha, he learned his friends had graduated and visited Might Duy and Might Guy, where Guy acted as though he had not seen him.

• After three days of cultivation, Ye Feng concluded that he needed another opportunity to break through and considered investigating the Gelel Stone and Ryūmyaku.
• Ye Feng shared his memories with his shadow clones, and they discussed forming an organization outside Konoha to gather strength and pursue their own plans.
• Ye Feng went to the Hokage Office to tell Tsunade he would leave the village, but found Shikaku Nara and Shizune working in her absence.
• Shizune told Ye Feng that Obito and their friends had graduated as genin and invited him to their gathering the next day.
• Ye Feng visited Might Duy and Might Guy at the Training Ground, where Duy kept training and Guy lowered his head and avoided speaking to him.

Ye Feng told Might Duy he could open the sixth gate and planned to leave the village to overcome a training bottleneck. Back home, he used a new sound-transmission ability to prank Obito, who came over and challenged him to prove he could see what Obito was doing.

• Ye Feng told Might Duy he planned to travel and revealed that he could open the sixth gate of the Eight Gates Released Formation.
• Ye Feng returned home and used divine sense and the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Technique to speak to Obito from afar.
• Ye Feng frightened Obito by pretending to be a ghost officer, then revealed his identity after Obito cried that he still had to care for his grandmother and marry Rin.
• Obito rushed to Ye Feng's house, accused him of scaring him, and demanded to know how he had known what Obito was doing.
• Ye Feng claimed his new ability let him transmit his voice and see the person he was speaking to, and Obito hid behind the house to test him with hand seals.

Ye Feng learned why Fengyu had kept Obito and the others away, then announced he would leave Konoha alone to investigate the Ryūmyaku. After traveling through the Land of Wind, he reached the Ancient Kingdom of Roran and was welcomed into its city by kind residents.

• Obito told Ye Feng that Fengyu had forbidden them from visiting because the others were upset that Ye Feng was training Shisui Uchiha, and Ye Feng refused to teach Obito his sensing technique until he grew stronger.
• Ye Feng ended the shadow clone's training, told Shisui to continue practicing, and announced he would leave the village alone the next day to search for something.
• Matsumoto Tiannai and Qiuyu Yuna prepared for the trip, but Ye Feng told them to stay behind and comforted them before departing the next morning.
• Ye Feng crossed the Land of Wind and, after two days in the desert, reached the outskirts of the Ancient Kingdom of Roran's city.
• Ye Feng claimed his parents had died and he was searching for relatives, so residents invited him into their homes and a gate guard offered to help him.

Ye Feng stayed with an elderly couple in the Ancient Kingdom of Roran and intervened when Jeru and his men demanded payment for a debt supposedly left by their dead son. After examining the IOU and questioning the couple, Ye Feng exposed that the document was newly written, not a year old.

• The elderly couple welcomed Ye Feng into their home and shared dinner with him.
• Jeru and four men burst in and demanded that the couple repay their dead son Tasim’s alleged debt.
• Jeru produced an IOU for 300,000, shocking the couple and causing the old woman to faint.
• The old man admitted the handwriting was Tasim’s and offered to surrender their house to settle the debt.
• Ye Feng questioned why Jeru had not shown the IOU earlier, then learned Tasim had died nearly a year ago without a body being recovered.
• Ye Feng declared that the paper and writing were no more than three days old, exposing Jeru’s claim as a lie.

Ye Feng forced Jeru to reveal that Tasim was alive and imprisoned at a secret base connected to Anrokuzan and the Ryūmyaku. After learning the truth, Ye Feng was left unsure whether to confront Anrokuzan or secretly investigate and leave.

• Jeru tried to grab Ye Feng, but Ye Feng seized his wrist and restrained him.
• Ye Feng turned water into ice blades, which cut through a henchman’s iron rod and drove Jeru’s men to beg for mercy.
• Ye Feng tortured Jeru for the truth about Tasim and the forged IOU, eventually cutting off his thumb.
• Jeru revealed that Tasim and other missing people were being held at a secret base and forced to work.
• Ye Feng considered whether to eliminate Anrokuzan or investigate the Ryūmyaku quietly, feeling conflicted about both choices.

Ye Feng investigated the Ryūmyaku beneath Rōran, found its energy unsuitable, and entered Anrokuzan’s base to rescue Tasim. He freed the forced laborers from their puppet guards, but they hesitated to escape as he urged them to leave with him.

• Ye Feng killed Jeru and four others, then promised the elderly couple he would rescue their son and urged them to sell their home and leave Rōran.
• Ye Feng found five pipe openings, entered the underground passage, and encountered Sara before reaching the Ryūmyaku.
• The Ryūmyaku’s energy surged toward Ye Feng, but he found its chakra-heavy, impure energy unsuitable and left to search for Tasim.
• Ye Feng reached the labor camp, severed the threads controlling eight puppets, and asked the forced laborers to identify Tasim.
• Ye Feng found the exhausted Tasim, carried him toward the ventilation duct, and urged the other laborers to escape, but they remained still.

Ye Feng discovered he had rescued the wrong young man and found Tasim dead in the base’s pit. After bringing Tasim’s body to his grieving parents and teleporting them out of Rōran, Ye Feng attacked the puppets blocking other laborers from escaping.

• Ye Feng learned from a laborer that Tasim had been thrown into the deep pit, then found his body there and burned the other corpses.
• Ye Feng brought Tasim’s body to the elderly couple, who grieved over their son’s death.
• When Anrokuzan’s forces pursued the escaping laborers, Ye Feng took the elderly couple and Tasim’s body outside Rōran’s gates.
• Ye Feng saw guards and puppets trapping more laborers near the gates and flew at the puppets with the Kusanagi Sword, cutting down more than a dozen.

Ye Feng restrained the puppet troops at Rōran’s gates and helped the forced laborers escape, then left the ancient city with Tasim’s body and Tasim’s elderly parents. He buried Tasim and brought the couple to the capital of the Land of Birds, where a guard recognized him as Lord Ye Feng.

• Ye Feng used his Cultivation Method to trap the puppets and held the guards at swordpoint so the forced laborers and their families could flee.
• Ye Feng told the guards that Anrokuzan controlled Rōran and had forced people to work in a secret base, but they refused to believe him.
• After several more people escaped, Ye Feng sealed Rōran’s gates with a raised stone slab and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave with the elderly couple and Tasim’s body.
• Ye Feng buried Tasim outside the capital of the Land of Birds, then reassured the elderly couple that his acquaintance Tanaka Aoba would help them.
• At the capital’s gates, Ye Feng asked to see Tanaka Aoba, and a guard knelt after learning that the visitor was Uchiha Yefeng.

Ye Feng met Tanaka Aoba again in the Land of Birds, arranged help for an elderly couple, and warned him about Rōran. He then traveled to the Land of Demons to investigate Moryo and ended by asking a glasses-wearing man whether he had a son.

• A guard treated Ye Feng as equal to the Daimyō because of a decree, and Ye Feng asked him to summon Tanaka Aoba.
• Tanaka Aoba welcomed Ye Feng, who asked him to settle the elderly couple and gave them five hundred thousand.
• Ye Feng warned Tanaka Aoba about the ancient city of Rōran, but declined to meet Lord Ōsagi and left the couple in Tanaka Aoba’s care.
• Ye Feng traveled to the Land of Demons with Garurumon and asked the palace guards to inform the priestess that he had urgent business concerning the monster.
• A middle-aged man welcomed Ye Feng as the Lightning Asura, and Ye Feng, reminded of Taruho, asked whether the man had a son.

Ye Feng met Priestess Miroku and revealed that he knew the truth about her and Moryo, the demon she guarded. Their conversation ended with Miroku accusing him of stealing Moryo’s power.

• Huiming escorted Ye Feng to Priestess Miroku after explaining that she had requested his presence.
• Ye Feng told Miroku he had come to assess ways to destroy the demon, then asked her to dismiss everyone so they could speak privately.
• Ye Feng thanked Miroku for her service to humanity and identified Moryo as a demon born from humanity’s evil thoughts.
• Miroku refused to let Ye Feng approach Moryo, insisting its seal would hold for decades.
• Ye Feng suggested the seal was weakening, and Miroku accused him of being the ninja who stole Moryo’s power.

Ye Feng persuaded Miroku to take him to Moryo so he could test whether he could erase its consciousness and use its energy. Miroku agreed to travel with him, and Ye Feng lifted her with Wind Style to avoid a slow journey.

• Ye Feng told Miroku that Moryo's energy might become an unlimited supply if its consciousness could be erased, and asked her to help him assess its power.
• Miroku asked for Ye Feng's consciousness-erasing Secret Technique, but he refused to share it and promised instead to help whenever Moryo caused trouble.
• Miroku offered Ye Feng anything in exchange for the Secret Technique, and he jokingly asked for her; after she accepted, he clarified that he could not give her the technique.
• Miroku accepted Ye Feng's promise and ordered Huiming to arrange a journey to the Land of Swamps.
• Ye Feng suggested that they travel alone, then used Wind Style to lift Miroku off the ground.

Ye Feng and Miroku flew toward the Land of Swamps, shared a meal, and reached the volcanic cave where Moryo was sealed. When Moryo’s energy burst from the seal and formed five flood dragons, Miroku froze as they charged.

• Ye Feng lifted Miroku into the air and flew with her toward the Land of Swamps despite Huiming and the guards’ concerns.
• Miroku enjoyed her first flight, teased and argued with Ye Feng, then shared his grilled meat beside a lake.
• After eating, Ye Feng and Miroku continued to the volcanic cave where Moryo was sealed.
• Ye Feng sensed energy unlike chakra that resembled natural energy and hurried toward the rune-covered stone door.
• Blackish-purple energy erupted from the door, formed five flood dragons, and charged at Ye Feng and the frightened, frozen Miroku.

Ye Feng fought Moryo’s regenerating energy flood dragons while protecting Miroku, then discovered that a tiny crack in the stone gate was letting Moryo’s power escape. Miroku confirmed the damage but could not repair it, leaving them searching for a way to seal the crack as Ye Feng gave up on using Moryo’s energy to advance.

• Ye Feng summoned the Kusanagi Sword and used Susanoo to protect himself and Miroku from Moryo’s flood dragons.
• Ye Feng repeatedly cut the flood dragons apart, but they regenerated, and Miroku warned him that he could not exhaust Moryo’s vast energy.
• Ye Feng used his divine sense to find a nearly invisible crack in the stone gate and told Miroku that it was leaking Moryo’s energy.
• Miroku confirmed the crack but said she could not repair the gate, and Ye Feng realized he had to abandon his plan to use Moryo’s energy to reach the Golden Core Realm.
• Ye Feng asked Miroku to seal the crack, but she knew no suitable technique and suggested erasing Moryo’s consciousness instead.

Ye Feng tried to use Miroku's three precious Spirit Stones to seal Moryo at the Stone Gate, but the reformed Dragons attacked while he drew the sealing formation. As a Dragon closed in, Miroku stepped in to protect Ye Feng and prepared to sacrifice her own energy.

• Ye Feng asked Miroku for powerful objects and learned that she had three stones filled with exceptionally pure natural energy.
• Ye Feng placed the stones around the Stone Gate and began drawing a sealing formation with his true qi.
• The Dragons reformed into four stronger creatures, and one charged at Ye Feng while he was unable to stop drawing safely.
• Miroku stepped between Ye Feng and the attacking Dragon and told him to continue sealing Moryo while she dealt with it.
• Ye Feng recognized that Miroku was preparing to release her energy and begged her not to sacrifice herself, but she thanked him for their time together.

Ye Feng stopped Miroku from sacrificing herself by overloading Sumeru to complete the seal on Moryo, but the effort left him unconscious and damaged his dantian. When he woke, Miroku believed he had lost his sight, though Ye Feng could still perceive his surroundings through divine sense.

• Ye Feng seized Miroku's wrist to stop her from releasing the restriction, but Moryo's now-formless energy struck him and sent him toward the lava.
• Ye Feng's Kusanagi Sword rescued him, and Miroku found him unconscious as the newly formed seal stopped Moryo's energy from seeping through the stone gate.
• Miroku carried Ye Feng out of the cave and waited with him until he woke later that day.
• Ye Feng recalled using Sumeru to accelerate time and finish the formation, and discovered that the strain had exhausted his true qi and ocular power and cracked his dantian.
• Miroku saw Ye Feng's grayish-white pupils and wept, believing he had sacrificed his sight to save her.
• Ye Feng activated his divine sense, and the surrounding scene appeared in his mind.

After sealing Moryo, Ye Feng comforted Miroku, cooked for them, and spent the night with her in a cave despite his injured eyes and depleted energy. Miroku woke embarrassed and accused him of doing something to her, but then remembered she had hugged him in her sleep while dreaming of her mother.

• Ye Feng reassured the tearful Miroku that sealing Moryo was a good thing and wiped away her tears.
• Miroku tried to cook, but Ye Feng took over after she failed to start a fire; he explained that his divine sense let him see despite his blindness.
• Miroku discovered a hole in her clothes, blushed when Ye Feng pointed it out, and went into the cave to mend it.
• Ye Feng gave Miroku the bedding and kept watch at the cave entrance until she invited him to rest beside her.
• Miroku moved beside Ye Feng in her sleep, hugged him, and called him Mom.
• Miroku woke screaming and accused Ye Feng of doing something to her, then recalled that she had dreamed of her mother and hugged him in her sleep.

After sacrificing his eyes to repair Moryo’s seal, Ye Feng parted ways with Miroku and traveled back to Konoha while avoiding attention. He reached the village blindfolded and told the gate guards he had lost his sight.

• Miroku and Ye Feng resumed their journey, and she grew quiet as she anticipated returning to her duties as Miko.
• Ye Feng sensed Huiming and the Miko guards approaching, then parted from Miroku after she invited him to visit the Land of Demons.
• Ye Feng revealed that he could see within ten kilometers, prompting Miroku to realize he might have seen her while she wore only underwear in the cave.
• After Ye Feng left, Miroku told Huiming that Ye Feng had sacrificed his eyes to repair a crack in Moryo’s seal.
• Ye Feng traveled discreetly for more than ten days, reached Konoha, and told the gate guards that he had lost his sight in both eyes.
