Kusagakure’s Ninja forced Mui to help them face Uchiha Chisen by threatening to expose his crimes at Hozuki Castle. Mui agreed to open the Box of Ultimate Bliss using their chakra and the prisoners’ chakra, hoping it would also let him free his son Muku.

• Kusagakure’s Ninja offered to make Mui the Grass Shadow, but Mui saw that they wanted him to confront Uchiha Chisen for them.
• The Grass Ninja admitted they had come to drag Mui into the conflict and warned that Chisen could see through sin.
• Mui refused to risk fighting Chisen and demanded that the Grass Ninja pour their chakra into the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
• The Kusagakure leader ordered the Ninja to drain the prisoners in Hozuki Castle as well and open the box.
• Mui agreed, hoping the additional chakra would let him bring Muku back from inside the Box of Ultimate Bliss.

Mui and the Grass Ninja poured chakra into the Box of Ultimate Bliss, hoping to unlock its power. As the box began to open, Mui wished for it to return his son Muku, angering the Grass Ninja who wanted to use it against Uchiha Chisen.

• Karin and Kijiro asked Uchiha Chisen to slow down as he flew toward Hozuki Castle.
• Mui explained that the Box of Ultimate Bliss needed chakra and that a tailed beast jinchuriki could help open it faster.
• The Grass Ninja and Hozuki Castle prisoners fed chakra into the box, while the Grass Ninja imagined wishes of power, immortality, wealth, and world domination.
• Mui urged the Grass Ninja to pour in more chakra as the box glowed and began to crack open.
• Mui kicked aside a Grass Ninja and wished for the box to return his son Muku.
• A Grass Ninja cursed Mui and warned that Uchiha Chisen was on his way.

Mui used the Box of Ultimate Bliss to bring back his son, Muku, but released Gō, a monster that wore Muku’s face and fed on chakra and fear. As Gō slaughtered everyone at Hozuki Castle, Uchiha Chisen approached and prepared to confront it.

• Mui wished for Muku’s return, and the Box of Ultimate Bliss produced a figure wearing his son’s face.
• The figure revealed itself as Gō, stabbed Mui, and drained his chakra while the Grass Ninja realized Mui had released a monster.
• Gō absorbed power from the Grass Ninja’s fear and slaughtered them throughout Hozuki Castle.
• Uchiha Chisen sensed the twisted chakra and found only one living being at Hozuki Castle as he neared it with Kijiro and Karin Uzumaki.
• Uchiha Chisen left Karin with Kijiro and flew toward the castle, his body radiating scorching heat.

Uchiha Chisen transformed into a blazing sun with Shine Release and confronted Gō, the monstrous being released from the Box of Ultimate Bliss. He summoned ten fiery orbs that began scorching Gō and the land around Hozuki Castle.

• Karin Uzumaki and Gō saw Uchiha Chisen’s immense chakra rise into the sky like a sun, and Gō wondered if Chisen was a god.
• Gō’s disguise failed under the heat, revealing his monstrous form as he flew up to confront Chisen.
• Gō asked Chisen to leave his ancient territory, while Chisen judged the creature evil and decided to test his Shine Release against him.
• Chisen summoned ten golden-red fireballs that scorched the earth and vegetation around Hozuki Castle.
• Gō felt his blood boil and his skin begin to burst under the heat as the smell of his burning flesh filled the air.

Uchiha Chisen tested Gō’s strength with his shine release sun orbs, and Gō survived the first attack before fleeing from the next two. Chisen discovered his control over the orbs only reached three kilometers and pursued Gō himself.

• Gō resisted Uchiha Chisen’s opening attacks and struck at him with deadly feathers, but the shine release heat burned them to ash.
• Chisen launched a pursuing sun orb, which Gō stopped with his arms at the cost of severe burns.
• Karin Uzumaki and Kijiro watched one of the ten suns fall as Chisen judged Gō to be at least as strong as an ordinary tailed beast.
• Chisen sent two larger sun orbs after Gō, who flew away to escape rather than face them head-on.
• Chisen realized he had lost control of the orbs beyond three kilometers and flew after Gō with the six suns still beside him.

Uchiha Chisen killed Gō with his Shine Release and Flying Thunder God Technique, gaining a new ability that converted emotions directed at him into chakra. He then heard people across several lands thinking and talking about him, leaving him troubled by the overwhelming voices.

• Uchiha Chisen struck Gō with Shine Release sun orbs, using the Flying Thunder God Technique to make an orb hit it unexpectedly.
• Uchiha Chisen merged his remaining sun orbs into a giant sun and crushed Gō, burning it to ash.
• Uchiha Chisen gained the ability to refine emotions directed at him into chakra and replenish his reserves.
• Uchiha Chisen heard Mei Terumi, Nagato, and Sarutobi Hiruzen think or speak about him, with their emotions feeding him chakra.
• Uchiha Chisen heard countless civilians across the Land of Water, the Land of Fire, and the Land of Grass discussing him and struggled with the clamor.

Uchiha Chisen absorbed an overwhelming flood of emotional energy, formed a second Truth-Seeking Orb, and passed out from the voices overwhelming his mind. As Grass Ninja fled and declared Kusagakure destroyed, Chisen dreamed of the seven chakra natures.

• Uchiha Chisen formed a second Truth-Seeking Orb and a golden God's Robe, but the emotional energy's countless voices disoriented him.
• Uchiha Chisen told Kijiro and Karin Uzumaki to stay at Hozuki Castle, then passed out.
• Kijiro carried Uchiha Chisen back toward Hozuki Castle with Karin Uzumaki.
• Grass Ninja fled, believing Uchiha Chisen had destroyed Kusagakure and that they had no chance against him.
• Uchiha Chisen dreamed of wind, fire, water, earth, lightning, Yin Release, and Yang Release intertwining.

Uchiha Chisen discovered that his kekkei mōra could absorb emotional chakra, shield him from the voices it carried, and help him observe people connected to it. While he remained hidden for two days, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Lightning threatened war against the Land of Fire unless Konoha restrained him.

• Uchiha Chisen realized his kekkei mōra was evolving and could absorb emotional chakra, though perfecting it would take far too long at his current rate.
• Uchiha Chisen used the emotional chakra connections to observe Obito, Black Zetsu, and Kimimaro at the Great Tenseigan, then saw Nagato repairing the Six Paths and Tsunade reacting angrily to his disappearance.
• Black Zetsu sensed that someone might be watching and proposed moving the Great Tenseigan and Kimimaro to another base in the Land of Rice Fields.
• Kijiro hid with Uchiha Chisen and Karin Uzumaki for two days, leaving Konoha unable to find him.
• Sarutobi Hiruzen told Tsunade that the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Lightning had threatened to form a joint army unless the Land of Fire restrained Uchiha Chisen.

Kitsuchi resisted the Daimyo’s demand to invade the Land of Fire and focused on strengthening Iwagakure against the Akatsuki Organization. Meanwhile, Yakushi Kabuto and Jūgo struggled to infiltrate the village to steal Ōnoki’s remains as Otsutsuki Toneri prepared to act after glimpsing another Tenseigan’s visions.

• Kitsuchi and Kurotsuchi discussed the proposed alliance with Kumogakure and Sunagakure, and Kitsuchi chose to wait while prioritizing intelligence on the Akatsuki Organization.
• Kitsuchi’s purges tightened Iwagakure’s security, while Kumogakure and Sunagakure also hesitated to send troops into the Land of Fire.
• Yakushi Kabuto told Jūgo that Iwagakure’s tightened security and the loss of his spies had made stealing Ōnoki’s remains difficult.
• Yakushi Kabuto considered contacting Black Zetsu and using White Zetsu for infiltration.
• Otsutsuki Toneri revealed that he could see scenes through another Tenseigan and viewed the missing Great Tenseigan as an opportunity.

After recovering from the emotional chakra’s effects, Uchiha Chisen discovered new Six Paths Power and Shine Release abilities and returned to the Land of Grass to hunt down its remaining evildoers. Meanwhile, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, Land of Lightning, and Land of Wind planned to form Allied Shinobi Forces from ninja outside their villages to kill Chisen and reassert their authority.

• Otsutsuki Toneri decided to wait for the guards to leave before trying to seize the Great Tenseigan, wary of Uchiha Obito’s space-time ability.
• Uchiha Chisen awoke after three days in hiding with Kijiro, and he thanked Kijiro for looking after him.
• Uchiha Chisen realized his two Truth-Seeking Orbs had strengthened his Six Paths Power, letting him shape Shine Release into a destructive light sword and briefly merge with light.
• Uchiha Chisen returned to the Land of Grass to eliminate the remaining Grass Ninja evildoers.
• The Daimyo of the Land of Earth, Land of Lightning, and Land of Wind complained that their Shinobi Villages were ignoring their orders and blamed Uchiha Chisen for undermining Daimyo authority.
• The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning proposed gathering independent ninja, wandering ninja, and samurai into Allied Shinobi Forces numbering over ten thousand to defeat Chisen and reduce their reliance on the Shinobi Villages.

The Daimyo of the Lands of Earth, Wind, and Lightning recruited more than ten thousand ninja to hunt Uchiha Chisen, luring them with the promise of a new shinobi village and a 1.2 billion bounty. In Kumogakure, Fourth Raikage Ai judged that the allied force would fail and chose to let it attack Chisen, expecting the Land of Lightning’s Daimyo to depend more heavily on Kumogakure afterward.

• The Daimyo of the Lands of Earth, Wind, and Lightning issued a joint call for ninja to hunt Uchiha Chisen and offered a 1.2 billion bounty and the chance to establish a shinobi village.
• Rogue ninja and members of unaffiliated clans joined the Allied Shinobi Forces, which grew beyond ten thousand as rumors spread that it might reach thirty thousand.
• Samui told Fourth Raikage Ai that the Daimyo’s recruitment threatened Kumogakure’s funding after the village had refused their orders.
• Fourth Raikage Ai said he believed Chisen was at least as strong as he was and could overcome the allied force with Susanoo.
• Fourth Raikage Ai decided Kumogakure should let the allied force fail so the Land of Lightning’s Daimyo would have to rely on Kumogakure.

Iwagakure’s leaders decided to send unmarked ninja to join the Three Great Nations Allied Forces while publicly claiming they could spare no troops. At the Akatsuki base, Nagato warned that Uchiha Chisen was far stronger than the allied forces understood and predicted that the Daimyo’s deaths could bring a great upheaval closer.

• Rōshi, Han, and Iwagakure’s leaders argued that the village should contribute ninja to the Three Great Nations Allied Forces to avoid consequences if Uchiha Chisen survived.
• Kitsuchi agreed to send ninja without Iwagakure markings and to tell the Daimyo that the village was too weakened to spare troops.
• Rasa ignored the Land of Wind Daimyo’s plans as he struggled to keep Sunagakure afloat.
• Kakuzu, Hozuki Gengetsu, and Kimimaro discussed joining the allied forces to kill Uchiha Chisen and claim the bounty.
• Deva Path Pain told them not to get involved, warning that even a hundred thousand ninja might not kill Uchiha Chisen and predicting the Daimyo would die.

Tsunade refused to send Konoha’s forces in large numbers against the alliance of the Earth, Wind, and Lightning Nations, fearing that doing so would trigger another Shinobi World War. As concern for Uchiha Chisen spread, Neji and Sasuke planned to graduate early and join him, while Jiraiya wondered whether Chisen could survive the allied force.

• Uchiha Izumi told Tsunade that Chisen had not replied to the Ninja Cats’ message, and Tsunade said Konoha could send only a few elite squads.
• Izumi told the Uchiha clan that Konoha would not deploy its forces on a large scale, and an Uchiha elder insisted that Chisen could defeat the alliance.
• Naruto condemned the alliance in class, and Sasuke announced that Neji had applied to graduate and that he also planned to graduate early.
• Jiraiya watched Naruto through the Crystal Ball and asked Fukasaku and Shima whether Chisen would be surrounded and killed.

Fukasaku and Shima warned Jiraiya that Uchiha Chisen had become powerful enough to surpass Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara, while Jiraiya began questioning whether Chisen could reshape the shinobi world as the Child of Prophecy. In the Land of Grass, Chisen continued his purge despite a three-nation alliance forming against him, as Yakushi Kabuto examined the White Zetsu Black Zetsu had provided.

• Fukasaku and Shima told Jiraiya that the Great Toad Sage could not foresee Uchiha Chisen and had warned them not to provoke him.
• Jiraiya reflected on Chisen's absolute justice and wondered whether Chisen could change the shinobi world just as much as the Child of Prophecy.
• Uchiha Chisen told Kijiro that he would finish two more rounds of purges in the Land of Grass, then establish temporary Police Forces using innocent residents.
• Uchiha Chisen dismissed the threat of the Earth, Wind, and Lightning alliance and declared that the shinobi world needed to see that absolute justice could not be stopped.
• Yakushi Kabuto examined the White Zetsu that Black Zetsu had sent him and noted their abilities, including using Wood Style, moving underground, disguising themselves, and restoring lost limbs.

Yakushi Kabuto used a White Zetsu as a sacrifice to revive Ōnoki with Impure World Reincarnation, then sent the controlled Third Tsuchikage toward Iwagakure. The village’s guards recognized Ōnoki’s familiar chakra just before a flash of light announced the attack.

• Yakushi Kabuto and Jūgo discussed using White Zetsu as sacrifices, and Kabuto decided to test the technique on Ōnoki’s corpse.
• Two White Zetsu stole Ōnoki’s body from Iwagakure, allowing Kabuto to collect his tissue unnoticed.
• Kabuto sacrificed a White Zetsu to revive Ōnoki, implanted a control formula, and estimated the reanimated Ōnoki had about thirty percent of his former strength.
• Kabuto ordered Ōnoki to attack Iwagakure, and the reanimated Tsuchikage flew toward the village.
• Iwagakure’s guards spotted Ōnoki and sensed his familiar chakra before a dazzling white light burst forth.

Yakushi Kabuto sent the reanimated Ōnoki to attack Iwagakure, forcing Kitsuchi, Rōshi, and Han to fight the former Tsuchikage. Han punched through Ōnoki’s chest, but Kabuto revealed that Impure World Reincarnation would let him recover.

• Ōnoki destroyed Iwagakure’s gates with Dust Release, unable to control his reanimated body.
• Kitsuchi and the other Iwagakure ninja recognized Ōnoki, who urged Rōshi, Han, Gari, and Kitsuchi to kill him.
• Ōnoki fired Dust Release again, and three Iwagakure chunin were annihilated before the ninja stopped it with rock walls.
• Rōshi attacked Ōnoki with magma, but Ōnoki formed another Dust Release cube as Kitsuchi warned everyone to scatter.
• Han struck Ōnoki in the chest and punched a hole through him, while Yakushi Kabuto watched and explained that the reanimated body would recover.

Reanimated Ōnoki proved nearly impossible to kill, so Rōshi and Han fought him while Iwagakure prepared to seal him. Ōnoki resisted Yakushi Kabuto’s control long enough to let two Tailed Beast Bombs destroy him, while Kabuto considered reanimating other Jinchuriki.

• Han punched through Ōnoki’s chest, but Ōnoki regenerated and nearly struck Han with Dust Release, forcing Han to tear off his right hand to escape.
• Ōnoki urged Iwagakure to seal him, and Rōshi ordered Kitsuchi to organize the Sealing Squad while he and Han kept Ōnoki occupied.
• Rōshi and Han partially transformed and launched two Tailed Beast Bombs at Ōnoki.
• Ōnoki resisted Yakushi Kabuto’s control and forced himself not to dodge the bombs.
• The Tailed Beast Bombs struck Ōnoki and destroyed his reanimated body, severing Kabuto’s connection to him.
• Yakushi Kabuto watched Iwagakure and considered reanimating Jinchuriki from past generations.

Yakushi Kabuto and Jūgo fled Iwagakure after Kabuto resolved to improve Impure World Reincarnation and obtain Hashirama Senju's cells. Iwagakure blamed the Akatsuki Organization for Ōnoki's resurrection, while Konoha leaders discussed the threat and learned Uchiha Chisen was returning after another cleanup in the Land of Fire.

• Yakushi Kabuto decided to leave Iwagakure with Jūgo, continue refining Impure World Reincarnation, and seek Hashirama Senju's cells.
• Kitsuchi and Rōshi assessed the damage from Ōnoki's attack, and Kitsuchi ordered letters sent to the Five Great Nations blaming the Akatsuki Organization and urging them to unite.
• Sarutobi Hiruzen admitted to Tsunade that he had once learned Impure World Reincarnation, and they considered whether Orochimaru had passed it to the Akatsuki Organization.
• Mitokado Homura noted that Konoha's investigations had confirmed Orochimaru joined the Akatsuki Organization, and Tsunade agreed the group was becoming a threat.
• Sarutobi Hiruzen asked about Uchiha Chisen, and Tsunade said he was returning to Konoha after resuming his cleanup of the Land of Fire.
