• Orochimaru used Edo Tensei on two condemned prisoners, who took on the appearances of Ye Feng’s parents.

After burying his parents, Ye Feng broke through from the Body Tempering Realm to the Foundation Establishment Realm, awakening his cells to absorb natural energy and advancing his Sharingan to three tomoe. He assessed his new abilities and considered how to create Spirit Talismans in a world without the usual materials.

• Ye Feng returned home, examined his increased strength and natural energy absorption, and considered using Spirit Beast blood and substitute paper to make Spirit Talismans.

After Ye Feng's breakthrough stirred up a vast surge of natural energy, Konoha's leaders investigated without finding the cause, while Orochimaru suspected Ye Feng was responsible. At the Uchiha compound, Uchiha Tianchang decided to eliminate the Second Elder and his hardline followers before they could endanger the clan.

• Ye Feng explained that the Fire Spirit Talisman needed little chakra to unleash a single fireball, then Minato activated one and blasted through two trees.

He infiltrated Minato Namikaze’s home to test one, but after Minato detected an attack and threw shuriken at him, Ye Feng’s invisibility ended and he was exposed.
