Chapter Summaries

Ye Feng searched for Feng Yu's missing body, ruled out Ōnoki, and discovered traces that pointed to Black Zetsu. After returning to Konoha with a lead, he faced Tsunade's questions about the resurrection technique and its price.

• Ye Feng used Genjutsu on Ōnoki, who confirmed that Iwagakure had not taken Feng Yu's body, then ordered the gate guards punished and the incident kept secret.

• Ye Feng warned Shisui against spending too much time on shuriken, and Shisui threw three at him to demonstrate their usefulness.

• Ye Feng admitted that Shisui had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and reassured Minato Namikaze that Shisui’s thinking was perfectly normal.

• Uchiha Ryu introduced himself and Uchiha Kigo and Uchiha Kawasawa, then tried to stop the two juniors from challenging Ye Feng.
• Kigo and Kawasawa insisted on testing Ye Feng's strength, and Ye Feng accepted so he could demonstrate his power and put the Uchiha Clan in order.
• Ye Feng invited Uchiha Shinichi to join the fight, but Shinichi agreed to wait and enter only if Kigo and Kawasawa could not handle Ye Feng.

• Ye Feng's water dragon attacked Uchiha Kawasawa and his companion with ice spikes, and Uchiha Shinichi recovered and came to their aid.
