Chapter Summaries

Hinata, Sasuke, and Himawari worked together to defeat and seal Urashiki after he tried to steal Hinata’s chakra and eyes. They sent him into outer space, while Hinata eyed the chakra Himawari had taken from him.

• Hinata charged Urashiki, who impaled her with his red-glowing hook, but Sealing Jutsu prevented him from absorbing her chakra.
• Himawari used her Tenseigan Chakra Mode and Truth-Seeking Orbs to pin Urashiki and seal his abilities.
• Sasuke used Planetary Devastation while Himawari absorbed Urashiki’s power, trapping him inside a celestial body.
• Sasuke and Himawari sent Urashiki’s sealed celestial body into outer space.
• Hinata admired Himawari’s power and wondered whether Urashiki’s chakra could be eaten.

After sealing Urashiki beneath Planetary Devastation, Sasuke divided the extracted God Tree chakra and explained how it could strengthen their allies. Hinata absorbed her portion, survived a dangerous surge of chakra, and the group remained in hiding with the remaining portions to distribute.

• Sasuke, Hinata, and Himawari fled the devastated terrain and hid in a cave with the extracted God Tree chakra.
• Sasuke explained that the chakra was only part of the God Tree and that Urashiki's main body remained sealed inside Planetary Devastation.
• Sasuke divided the chakra among himself, Naruto, Hinata, and other allies, setting aside portions for Hiashi, Hanabi, or Neji.
• Sasuke gave Hinata a portion rich in Yang power and advised her to absorb it through her body to strengthen her Sage Body.
• Hinata swallowed the chakra, whose uncontrolled surge inflated her body, then regained control through her chakra control and awakening Otsutsuki bloodline.
• Sasuke scolded Hinata for swallowing the chakra carelessly.

Hinata analyzed how God Tree Chakra differed from Sage Chakra and concluded that its life force let it merge with the body and promote evolution, while its Yin-Yang Power could awaken the Rinnegan. She resolved to obtain the God Trees within both Urashikis, while Sasuke left to meet his counterpart before returning to his world with Himawari.

• Hinata compared God Tree Chakra with Sage Chakra and reasoned that God Tree Chakra contained life force and possibly Yin-Yang Power.
• Hinata told Sasuke that Urashiki's power was far weaker than the Nine-Tails' and Kaguya's, and Sasuke resolved to remember her assessment.
• Sasuke told Hinata and Himawari that he would meet his counterpart, then return with Himawari to their world.
• Himawari used her Tenseigan to examine Hinata as Hinata explained that God Tree Chakra was merging with her body and changing her cells.
• Hinata theorized that Otsutsuki cultivated God Trees to accumulate life force and Yin-Yang Power, and that Kaguya's God Tree had granted her immortality.
• Hinata planned to extract the God Tree from Urashiki and later absorb the God Trees from both worlds' Urashikis.

After absorbing God Tree Chakra, Hinata gained immense vitality and a body that continuously absorbed Natural Energy, transforming her Sage Mode and greatly increasing her power. She tested her new abilities with Himawari and decided to return so she could complete the final transformation.

• Hinata felt her life force and Sage Chakra surge after merging with the God Tree Chakra.

• Himawari asked whether Hinata's ocular techniques had awakened, and Hinata said she would need to wait longer.
• Hinata told Himawari they would return so she could complete the final transformation.

Hinata bid farewell to Sasuke and Himawari, then learned that her newly awakened eye technique could only be used once every ten years. After they returned to their own time, she considered how the chakra she had acquired could change the Hyuga Clan and continued toward the nearest town.

• Hinata hugged Himawari goodbye as Sasuke and Himawari prepared to leave through the time-space passage.
• Hinata used her eye technique to pinch Himawari's cheeks, then learned from Sasuke that the technique initially had a ten-year cooldown.
• Sasuke said Urashiki's chakra might shorten the cooldown, and he and Himawari departed through the passage.
• Hinata reflected that the two sealed portions of Urashiki's chakra could strengthen the Hyuga Clan but might also draw dangerous attention.
• Hinata noted her birthday was four days away, considered the chakra as gifts for her family, and headed toward the nearest town.

Hinata analyzed how her newly awakened “Predict the Future” dojutsu worked and assessed her strength against the Shinobi World’s major threats. She decided to keep working with Black Zetsu to obtain Tailed Beast power while watching Black Zetsu and Kaguya Otsutsuki closely.

• Hinata reasoned that her dojutsu predicted opponents’ intended actions by reading spiritual energy fluctuations and could damage them by leaving chakra in their spiritual worlds.
• Hinata assessed her current strength, techniques, and likely counters, identifying Pain, Itachi Uchiha’s Totsuka Blade, and Ōnoki’s Dust Release as concerns.
• Hinata celebrated her new power at the private hot spring and declared that she could let herself go before the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki appeared.
• Hinata planned to have Akatsuki collect the Tailed Beasts and rely on Black Zetsu to send her some of their power, while keeping watch on Black Zetsu and Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Hinata returned to Konoha and learned that investigating a destructive battle in the Land of Fire would count toward her Jonin examination. She told Hyuga Hiashi that the battle was connected to her and showed him the scroll containing Urashiki’s chakra, which she said could make him stronger.

• Hinata showed Hyuga Hiashi the scroll sealing Urashiki’s chakra and hinted that she was connected to the battle that had altered the terrain.
• Hyuga Hiashi warned that a shinobi capable of such destruction would become the Shinobi World’s public enemy if he could be killed, while Hinata reasoned that Konoha would protect her.
• Hinata told Hyuga Hiashi that the scroll could make him stronger.

Hinata explained that the chakra sealed in two scrolls could turn people into powerful humanoid Tailed Beasts, then demonstrated her new strength to Hyuga Hiashi. After Hinata’s attack left him unable to react, Hyuga Hiashi asked how to absorb the chakra.

• Hinata told Hyuga Hiashi that the scrolls contained chakra without intelligence or a sense of self, and warned that those who absorbed it would not gain the Tailed Beasts’ immortality.
• Hinata admitted she had absorbed some chakra and revealed her power to Hyuga Hiashi with the Byakugan.

• Hyuga Hiashi said the air had seemed to solidify around him, and Hinata wondered if she had unconsciously used Natural Energy.
• Hyuga Hiashi took a Sealing Scroll and asked Hinata how to absorb its chakra.

Hinata helped Hyuga Hiashi absorb chakra from a sealing scroll, greatly increasing his chakra and changing how Yin-Yang Power flowed through his body. When they tested their strength with the Gentle Fist, Hiashi was still knocked back by Hinata.

• Hyuga Hiashi questioned Hinata about the sealing formula and the friend who had given her chakra, then decided not to press her further.
• Hyuga Hiashi released the seal and swallowed the chakra mass while Hinata watched his body with her Byakugan.
• As Hiashi absorbed the chakra, his life force spread through his body and Yin-Yang Power flowed toward his eyes, though he noticed no change in them.
• After absorbing the chakra until evening, Hiashi found his chakra had increased by several dozen times and agreed to spar with Hinata.
• Hinata and Hiashi struck at the same time, but Hinata's palm sent Hiashi staggering back more than ten steps.

Hinata discovered that Hyuga Hiashi had awakened a blue Rinnegan after absorbing Urashiki's chakra, and worried Urashiki might use it to revive himself. Hiashi agreed to hide the eyes and avoid their powers while Hinata promised to protect the Hyuga Clan.

• Hinata examined Hyuga Hiashi's chakra and watched his Byakugan transform into a blue Rinnegan.
• Hinata warned Hyuga Hiashi not to summon anything if the urge arose, fearing Urashiki had left his will in the chakra.
• Hinata explained that Urashiki might revive if the God Tree body were summoned and absorbed, so Hyuga Hiashi agreed not to use the Rinnegan's abilities.
• Hyuga Hiashi chose to keep his new eyes secret to protect the Hyuga Clan from enemies inside and outside Konoha.
• Hinata assured Hyuga Hiashi she would protect the Hyuga Clan and said she could handle the current Shinobi World.

• Tsunade and Shizune watched the match and bet on how long Asuma would last.

Hinata passed her Jonin examination by defeating Asuma with overwhelming speed, strength, and healing ability. Tsunade recognized that Hinata had reached the level of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, then ordered her to come to the Hokage’s office and classified the assessment as an S-rank secret.

• Asuma began Hinata’s Jonin examination at Training Ground Three, intending to keep his distance and probe her strength with ninjutsu.

• Tsunade explained that Jiraiya and Naruto had found an ancient ruin in the Land of Rainbow and needed a sensory-type ninja to explore it.

• Tsunade ordered Hinata to leave for the Land of Rainbow, help Jiraiya decipher the ruin, and bring its information back to Konoha.

Hinata met Black Zetsu in the Land of Rainbow and learned he wanted her help recovering the half of the Nine-Tails sealed inside the Fourth Hokage. She agreed to pursue the Reaper Death Seal while Black Zetsu warned that he would otherwise take the Nine-Tails from Naruto to revive the Ten-Tails.

• Hinata traveled to the Land of Rainbow with Wind God and Thunder God, disguised herself, and waited for Black Zetsu while gathering intelligence.
• Black Zetsu met Hinata and asked about the battle in the Land of Fire, and Hinata told him she had sealed Urashiki Otsutsuki using Hamura's power.
• Hinata warned that stronger Otsutsuki might come and urged Black Zetsu to revive Ancestor Kaguya as soon as possible.
• Black Zetsu admitted he had arranged the ancient ruin Jiraiya discovered and asked Hinata to help obtain the secret technique of the Reaper Death Seal.
• Hinata suggested investigating Orochimaru for a way to undo the seal, and White Zetsu offered to track him down.
• Black Zetsu said he would reclaim the Nine-Tails from Naruto if they could not release the half sealed inside the Fourth Hokage, and Hinata agreed to cooperate.

Hinata asked Black Zetsu about fusing Kimimaro’s Shikotsumyaku and learned that Yin-Yang Release, strong life force, Kimimaro’s cells, and his chakra were needed. Black Zetsu promised instructions, while Hinata resolved to find Orochimaru and revive Kimimaro so she could obtain his chakra.

• Hinata warned Black Zetsu to tell her if he cooperated with Orochimaru because she wanted to examine Orochimaru’s cloned Eight-Tails’ Horn.
• Hinata asked Black Zetsu how Madara Uchiha fused Hashirama Cells and whether the Kaguya Clan descended from Ancestor Kaguya.
• Black Zetsu explained that fusing Kimimaro’s power required Yin-Yang Release, greater life force than Kimimaro’s, his cells, and some of his chakra.
• Hinata realized she could obtain Kimimaro’s chakra by reviving him through Impure World Reincarnation and decided she had to find Orochimaru.
• Black Zetsu promised to compile cell-fusion techniques for Hinata, then sank into the ground and vanished.

Hinata watched Naruto’s training in the Land of Rainbow and had Wind God and Thunder God challenge him before revealing herself. She tested her new Eight Trigrams finishing move on Naruto, leaving him unable to get up while Jiraiya watched in alarm.

Jiraiya brought Hinata and Naruto to a cave he believed was an ancient ruin, where violent Natural Energy hid a maze and a magma-filled pit. Naruto struggled against the energy as the group began exploring, but Hinata kept him stable and they continued deeper.

• Jiraiya explained that Naruto had uncovered the cave while training and that its dangerous Natural Energy had nearly caused the Nine-Tails to erupt.

• Hinata translated a stone inscription about the Sage of Six Paths, his sons Indra and Asura, and their conflict over the Ninjutsu Sect’s succession.
• Jiraiya led Hinata and Naruto farther into the cave, where they found a vast lava pit surrounded by poisonous air and violent Natural Energy.
• Hinata stopped resisting the Natural Energy, causing it to overwhelm all three and draw them into a vision.
• Hinata recognized the vision as Genjutsu and examined Naruto and Jiraiya, finding Jiraiya’s chakra unusually chaotic.
• Indra accused the Sage of Six Paths of sealing their grandmother and acquiring the Ten-Tails, while Asura argued that dividing it into the Nine Tailed Beasts would protect the world.

Hinata, Naruto, and Jiraiya witnessed Indra and Asura’s history through a genjutsu and debated whether the Ninja Sect’s system could bring peace. Hinata urged Jiraiya to investigate the truth rather than let the world’s rules shape his judgment.

• Hinata saw the genjutsu reveal Indra’s conflict with Asura, their battle, and Indra’s warning that powerful enemies would come from beyond the world.
• Jiraiya, Hinata, and Naruto escaped the genjutsu and left the cave, where Jiraiya concluded that Indra’s lingering will had caused them to see those scenes.
• At an inn, Jiraiya identified the Ten-Tails, the Tailed Beasts, the brothers’ conflict, and the outside enemies as the vision’s key revelations.
• Hinata used her Byakugan to communicate with Nine-Tails and confirmed that the Ten-Tails existed and that the Nine Tailed Beasts came from it.
• Hinata argued that unifying the world might bring peace, challenged Jiraiya for reflexively rejecting Indra’s ideas, and insisted they had to learn the truth.

Jiraiya analyzed the cave’s vision and suspected a conspiracy involving Akatsuki, the Sage of Six Paths, and the origins of the Shinobi World’s hatred. He and Hinata agreed to investigate the history further, and Jiraiya planned to ask Mount Myōboku about the Sage’s mother and the Ten-Tails.
