Arc 2Kumogakure’s War Against Konoha
Yeyue Ziyun brought the Uzumaki Clan to Kumogakure and helped lead its campaigns against Konoha during the Second Shinobi World War. After defeating powerful Konoha forces and the Uchiha Clan Head, he faced Hiruzen Sarutobi’s retreating army as Kumogakure pressed its advantage.
- Yeyue Ziyun warned Zō Uzumaki of Konoha’s planned attack, helped the Uzumaki Clan defeat the assassins, and persuaded Zō to join Kumogakure.
- The Third Raikage welcomed the Uzumaki Clan and named Ziyun his successor, while Ziyun advised Kumogakure to avoid a costly direct battle with Hatake Sakumo’s forces.
- Ziyun used his Door-Door Fruit to infiltrate Konoha’s camps and destroy their supplies, then helped Kumogakure exploit the damage and sow distrust between Danzo and the Senju Clan.
- After Sunagakure and the Land of Rain entered the war, Ziyun led Kumogakure forces against Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya, defeating their force with his lightning attacks.
- Ziyun defeated the Uchiha Clan Head’s Susanoo and helped Kumogakure rout Konoha’s forces, while the Uchiha Clan Head survived using Izanagi and escaped.
- As the other villages prepared to fight Konoha, Ziyun persuaded the Third Raikage to strengthen Kumogakure rather than invade Konoha, and he received a Super S-rank mission to lead the village to victory.
- After Konoha defeated the Three Great Shinobi Villages, Hiruzen Sarutobi led three thousand ninja toward Kumogakure, but the Third Raikage and Ziyun attacked and forced them to retreat.
