Prepare your food capacity
The Swordsman card asks for at least 7.5 food counters; the August Discord guide says 8. Aim for 8 to cover both reports. Fill your food before the hand-in. Improved Stomach and the clan’s food bonus help meet the check.
Butterfly Stage 1
Cook an All Star Fruit Bowl using two of each ordinary fruit (Apple, Orange, Banana, Mango and Pear) and one Life Up Fruit. Find the Akimichi Swordsman from Training Grounds and choose the third dialogue about wings, then deliver the bowl. The older video’s one-of-each recipe is superseded here by the Trello recipe.
Butterfly Stage 2
Build experience by using Butterfly Mode. Visit Choji below Passageway and bring at least 15 Ramen for the eating contest. Win the minigame and claim the affinity/stage reward. The sources do not provide a reliable minimum number of Stage 1 activations.
Abilities
| Unlock | Effect |
|---|---|
| Stage 1 — M1 | Temporary flight; Discord reports 5 seconds in combat and 8 outside it. |
| Stage 1 — M2 | Ground slam, knockback and Chakra Seal. |
| Stage 2 — M1 | Faster flight. |
| Stage 2 — M2 | The slam also creates a chakra-regeneration zone. |
| Passive | Chakra regeneration scales with food counters. |
| Spinning Human Boulder | Requires the Improved Stomach path; Discord adds Fruit Summoning, the affinity and 500 Acumen. Roll into opponents and jump for a landing slam. |
