Chapter Summaries

Urashiki arrived in Kumogakure to gather chakra and was mistaken for a Hyuga before his Rinnegan led the Cloud Ninja to believe he was the Akatsuki leader. He decided to kill the witnesses and resume his disguise, while the Kumogakure forces prepared to report his presence to the Raikage and fight him.

• Urashiki emerged in ruined Kumogakure, reflected on what he had learned about the Shinobi World, and resolved to collect its chakra despite fearing Hinata.
• Four Kumogakure Anbu confronted Urashiki, and he called himself Hyuga Urashiki before stealing one Anbu’s chakra with his fishing hook.
• Three Anbu trapped Urashiki in a swamp and hardened mud around him, but he broke free with Shinra Tensei and killed them with the flying fragments.
• Cloud Ninja saw Urashiki’s Rinnegan and a Kumogakure Jonin concluded that he was the Akatsuki leader; Urashiki realized his Byakugan disguise had been exposed.
• Urashiki decided to kill everyone present and later resume impersonating a Hyuga, while the Jonin ordered Sanken to alert the Raikage and the others to hold Urashiki back.

Hinata used her Artificial Satellite to monitor Urashiki attacking Hidden Cloud Village, then ambushed him with a sealing technique and took him to her laboratory. Urashiki was left restrained on her experiment table, insisting that history meant he could not die.

• Hinata watched the battle at Hidden Cloud Village through her Artificial Satellite and spotted Urashiki fighting the Cloud shinobi.

• Hinata pinned Urashiki with Truth-Seeking rods and transported him to her laboratory.
• Urashiki struggled on Hinata's experiment table and claimed that history required him to travel to the past.

Hinata searched Urashiki’s memories, learned about the Otsutsuki clan and how to plant God Trees, then transformed him into a Chakra Fruit and consumed it. She resolved to seize Ryūchi Cave and use the fruit’s power to transcend the world and become the sole Hinata across parallel timelines.

• Hinata struck Urashiki with Gentle Fist Style—Concussion and used Memory Search to overcome his Rinnegan illusion seal.
• Hinata discovered that the Otsutsuki clan had invaded countless planets and that Urashiki’s memories contained a method for planting God Trees.

• Hinata controlled Urashiki into willingly transforming into a Chakra Fruit, which she swallowed.
• Hinata declared that she would transcend the world by becoming the sole existence across parallel timelines.

After eating the Chakra Fruit, Hinata discovered that her physique, vitality, chakra reserves, and Dojutsu power had improved, and she had gained a Six-Tomoe Rinnegan. She uncovered Urashiki’s hidden time technique, Time Rewind, and recognized its potential as she considered how far her abilities could grow.

• Hinata found that the Chakra Fruit had greatly increased her chakra reserves and vitality, while making her physique comparable to Madara Uchiha’s Ten-Tails Jinchuriki form.
• Hinata revealed a Six-Tomoe Rinnegan on her forehead and instinctively learned its eye techniques.
• Hinata discovered that Urashiki’s Rinnegan had granted him Time Rewind, which let him replay a few seconds before an attack and choose a response.
• Hinata realized that Time Rewind could develop into true time ninjutsu as her life essence grew, despite being unable to undo attacks that had already landed.
• Hinata celebrated gaining both Yomotsu Hirasaka and Time Rewind alongside All-Knowing, All-Powerful, and declared the powers hers.

Hinata traveled to Ryūchi Cave and destroyed the mountain range and its snake clan to clear the land for planting a God Tree. She planned to cultivate the tree there and use it to nourish her Tenseigan, while considering the remaining sage lands and the Sage of Six Paths.

• Hinata decided to investigate whether Hamura was dead and claim the Tenseigan in the Tenseigan Chamber if he was.
• Hinata used Yomotsu Hirasaka to travel to Ryūchi Cave and sensed its abundant Natural Energy.
• Hinata unleashed Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, grinding Ryūchi Cave and its snake clan into dust except for the White Snake Sage.
• Hinata absorbed the White Snake Sage's Sage Chakra, expelled it, and pulverized the White Snake Sage.
• Hinata decided to plant a God Tree in the cleared land and use it to nourish her Tenseigan.

Hinata summoned her God Tree and discovered a way to use it to advance her cultivation. She began gathering the energy needed to form a Chakra Fruit, leaving herself with a long-term path to grow stronger.

• Hinata considered ways to plant a God Tree and realized her existing tree could not bear another fruit because it had reached its limit.
• Hinata summoned her God Tree, which absorbed Natural Energy but could not continue growing without a fruit to hold its power.
• Hinata connected the God Tree to her Yin-Yang Seal and learned that forming a Tailed Beast required Natural Energy, vitality, Yin-Yang Release, and the five elemental transformations.
• Hinata used the God Tree's power to draw energy toward a central point in her Yin-Yang Seal, beginning the process of condensing a Golden Core, or Chakra Fruit.
• Hinata planned to absorb the Golden Core and eventually use Yin-Yang Release to turn it into a Nascent Soul, giving her a path to grow stronger over centuries.

After Ryūchi Cave was destroyed, the Great Toad Sage reflected on Hinata’s strength and Mount Myōboku’s looming danger. Hinata pierced the Yin and Yang realms to confront the Sage of Six Paths and questioned how his Chakra had endured for a thousand years.

• The Great Toad Sage learned that Hinata had destroyed Ryūchi Cave and feared that Mount Myōboku could be next.
• The Great Toad Sage noted that Sasuke had suppressed Indra’s will and that no one in the Shinobi World could stop Hinata.
• Hinata used the Tenseigan and Six-Tomoe Rinnegan to pierce the Yin and Yang realms and summon the Sage of Six Paths.
• The Sage of Six Paths questioned Hinata’s reason for destroying Ryūchi Cave, and Hinata declared that she intended to surpass Kaguya Otsutsuki and make the Hyuga Clan the strongest in the universe.
• Hinata asked whether the Sage of Six Paths had preserved his Chakra through Natural Energy or by binding it to the Tailed Beasts.

Hinata confronted the Sage of Six Paths over his actions concerning Kaguya, Hamura, and Ryūchi Cave, while he tried to explain his choices and reflected on the world’s future. He vanished without giving Hinata a clear answer about Hamura, leaving her convinced he might be plotting against her.

• Hinata accused the Sage of Six Paths of hypocrisy for stopping her from wiping out Ryūchi Cave while claiming credit for sealing Kaguya.
• Hinata argued that the Sage and Hamura had divided the spoils after sealing Kaguya, pointing to Hamura’s Tenseigan as evidence.
• The Sage explained that he had taken Kaguya’s chakra to strengthen her seal and said the world’s pain could give rise to people who changed it.
• The Sage asked Hinata whether she knew the truth about Hamura, then disappeared before answering her questions.
• Hinata suspected the Sage had admitted defeat only because he feared her, while the Sage staggered beyond the barrier and wondered who had made her so distrustful.

Hinata returned home after gaining a clearer understanding of the Otsutsuki clan and reconsidered whether she could face Isshiki. Meanwhile, the Akatsuki devastated Kumogakure and Takigakure, prompting the other villages to prepare an alliance and a Five Kage Summit in Konoha.

• Hinata realized that Urashiki was far weaker than the Otsutsuki clan's strongest members and worried that she could not defeat Isshiki.
• Pain attacked Kumogakure, killed the Fourth Raikage, captured Killer B, and left the village in ruins.
• The Akatsuki attacked Takigakure during Konoha's negotiations over the Seven-Tails, and Kakashi's team barely survived.
• Tsunade called for a Five Kage Summit in Konoha to unite the villages and protect Naruto, the Akatsuki's remaining target.
• Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure agreed to an alliance, while Sand Village remained divided over whether to resist the Akatsuki.

Hinata met Black Zetsu in Konoha’s Back Mountain and received a scroll containing chakra from the One-Tail through the Eight-Tails. They planned to deal with Nagato in three days, but worried that Obito might have discovered their real goal of resurrecting Kaguya.

• Hinata left a Wood Clone in her room and secretly went to Konoha’s Back Mountain to meet Black Zetsu.
• Black Zetsu gave Hinata a scroll containing chakra from the One-Tail through the Eight-Tails and admitted he could not guarantee Kaguya would agree to their plans afterward.
• Hinata and Black Zetsu agreed to deal with Nagato in three days, with Orochimaru summoning Minato Namikaze in the Land of Rain so they could extract the Nine-Tails.
• Hinata questioned whether Obito would interfere, and Black Zetsu said Madara had left a contingency plan to kill him if he acted suspiciously.
• Black Zetsu revealed that Obito had slipped out of White Zetsu’s surveillance several times, raising the possibility that he had uncovered their true purpose and might ally with Madara.

Hinata considered Obito’s hidden plans and monitored the preparations for the coming conflict, while Orochimaru and Sasuke headed to the Land of Rain to seize control of the Ten-Tails’ power. Itachi noticed Akatsuki’s strange lack of interest in Naruto and wondered what the man posing as Madara intended to do.

• Hinata questioned Black Zetsu about Obito’s intelligence networks, and Black Zetsu insisted Obito knew nothing of Kaguya Otsutsuki’s return.
• Hinata returned to her room through a Space Gate, then used the Artificial Satellite to see the Five Kage and their forces traveling to Konoha.
• Hinata observed that Orochimaru and Sasuke had split up to summon Minato Namikaze and Madara Uchiha and to seize the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
• Hinata spotted Nagato and Konan alone in Amegakure, then saw Itachi Uchiha watching the village from a nearby town.
• Itachi suspected Akatsuki’s lack of interest in Naruto was abnormal and wondered whether the man calling himself Madara Uchiha would let Pain control the Tailed Beasts.

Itachi Uchiha suspected Akatsuki had another way to obtain the Nine-Tails' chakra and wondered what Hinata knew about its plans. Hinata confirmed the chakra sources of the One-Tail through Eight-Tails were genuine and absorbed them, preparing to raise her chakra to the level of the Ten-Tails.

• Itachi Uchiha sensed that Hinata might be monitoring him and considered whether Akatsuki would attack Konoha or use its backup Nine-Tails chakra.
• Hinata secretly watched Itachi Uchiha from the Hyuga residence and concluded he could no longer change the situation, even at his peak.
• Hinata inspected the scroll with her Byakugan and confirmed it held the chakra sources of the One-Tail through Eight-Tails without tampering.
• Hinata reasoned that combining the chakra sources could let her use Truth-Seeking Orbs and develop Ten-Tails-level chakra.
• Hinata released the eight chakra masses from the scroll and drew them into her body.

Hinata fused the chakra sources of the Nine Tailed Beasts into Ten-Tails Chakra, then weighed the risks of using it against absorbing it gradually. She chose the safer evolution and began converting the Ten-Tails Chakra Source into life force within her body.

• Hinata discovered that absorbing the Tailed Beast Chakra had caused no immediate strange sensation.
• Hinata merged the Nine Tailed Beasts' Chakra Sources, creating unstable Ten-Tails Chakra that she could barely control with her Tenseigan and Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.
• Hinata considered converting all her chakra into Ten-Tails Chakra or absorbing its source gradually, and chose the gradual method because the energy was too dangerous to control.
• Hinata used her Tenseigan to absorb and convert the Ten-Tails Chakra Source, experiencing a warm, pleasurable evolution of her body.

Hinata overslept on the day Akatsuki planned to seal the Nine-Tails, forcing Orochimaru and Black Zetsu to stall until she could arrive. In the Land of Rain, Pain ordered the sealing plan to begin, and Orochimaru used Impure World Reincarnation to summon Minato Namikaze.

• Hinata woke at nine-thirty after sleeping through her repeated alarms, despite the day's important events.
• Orochimaru demanded Konoha ninja and test subjects as rewards if Akatsuki succeeded, while White Zetsu provoked him about Minato becoming Hokage.
• Orochimaru and Black Zetsu stalled their meeting because Hinata had not arrived, but Pain eventually ordered them to proceed.
• Orochimaru performed Impure World Reincarnation and raised a coffin containing Minato Namikaze's body.
• Orochimaru explained that Minato's soul had not yet been summoned from the Pure Land, then performed more hand seals as Minato opened his eyes.

Minato Namikaze was revived through Impure World Reincarnation and confronted by Obito and the Akatsuki, who wanted the Nine-Tails. Meanwhile, Hinata arrived late to meet Sasuke, who noticed her new Six-Tomoe Rinnegan but missed the change she hoped he would see.

• Minato Namikaze recognized Orochimaru, Obito, and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path after being revived in a cave.
• Obito revealed himself to Minato Namikaze, who inferred that the Akatsuki were targeting the Nine-Tails.
• Orochimaru controlled Minato Namikaze while Pain explained his plan for peace through the Nine-Tails, and Minato and Nagato began debating their beliefs.
• Hinata, delayed while applying makeup, used Yomotsu Hirasaka to appear beside Sasuke at their meeting place.
• Sasuke noticed Hinata's Six-Tomoe Rinnegan and asked about the Otsutsuki, so Hinata urged him to look for another difference.

Hinata and Sasuke prepared to seize control of Nagato and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, while Hinata learned Nagato’s location from Orochimaru. She secretly coordinated with Orochimaru in the cave, leaving him responsible for Konan as their plan to bring down Akatsuki began.

• Hinata told Sasuke to wait for her signal and then take control of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path after she controlled Nagato.
• Sasuke gave Hinata Orochimaru’s note revealing Nagato’s location, and Hinata imagined using Akatsuki’s funds to build a space empire.
• Hinata learned that Orochimaru had not summoned Madara because Madara needed to be revived under controlled conditions.
• Hinata contacted Orochimaru through the Artificial Satellite and instructed him to deal with Konan while she handled Nagato.
• Orochimaru agreed to treat Konan as a test subject, but Hinata told him to pursue her instead and claimed Akatsuki’s funds for herself.

Hinata and Sasuke headed toward Nagato’s hideout while discussing the plan and the dangers facing the Shinobi World. Hinata warned Sasuke that powerful Ōtsutsuki threats were closing in, leaving him to consider the chance to grow stronger before they arrived.

• Hinata assured Sasuke that Orochimaru had agreed to help and led him toward Nagato’s hiding place to wait for the Nine-Tails’ sealing to finish.
• Sasuke asked whether taking control of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path would disrupt Hinata’s partnership with Black Zetsu, and Hinata decided she would tell Black Zetsu that Sasuke had betrayed them.
• Sasuke asked what Hinata planned to do after reviving Kaguya, and she said they would grow stronger, defeat the Otsutsuki clan, and reach the peak of the universe.
• Hinata warned Sasuke that the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura might have sought immortality, and described Hamura’s yellow Tenseigan as capable of moving planets.
• Hinata told Sasuke that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and the distant Otsutsuki clan posed major threats, and said Urashiki’s arrival had exposed the Shinobi World to them.
• Hinata called the coming conflict a rare opportunity for them, while Sasuke doubted her claim that the Shinobi World was calm.

Hinata and Sasuke headed to Nagato after discussing the Otsutsuki threat, while Nagato’s Rinnegan prompted him to merge with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Hinata struck Nagato through the Spirit Ball, disrupting Pain and setting off a clash in the cave that ended with Madara Uchiha emerging from a coffin.

• Sasuke eagerly accepted the prospect of joining forces against Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, and Hinata led him toward Nagato.
• Pain sealed the Nine-Tails into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which awakened after gathering the chakra of eight Tailed Beasts.
• Nagato sensed the Rinnegan urging him to become one with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path as Hinata sent a Spirit Ball through a Space Gate and struck him.
• Hinata told Orochimaru to move, and Pain collapsed as Nagato’s gaze suddenly calmed.
• Orochimaru attacked Konan while Obito pierced her heart, then Orochimaru treated her wounds and summoned another figure with Impure World Reincarnation.
• Madara Uchiha pushed open the coffin lid, leaving Minato to wonder who Obito really was.

Madara Uchiha emerged through Impure World Reincarnation and learned that Obito planned to resurrect him fully, while Black Zetsu realized Hinata intended to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. Hinata prepared to extract the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path’s chakra with Sasuke as Madara and the others rushed toward them.

• Madara Uchiha left his coffin, identified the Impure World Reincarnation, and told Obito he expected to be resurrected through Rebirth Samsara.
• Black Zetsu urged Madara Uchiha to retrieve the Rinnegan from Nagato, but the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path vanished before they could leave.
• Black Zetsu realized Hinata had deceived him and feared she would become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, destroy the Rinnegan, or eliminate the Uchiha clan.
• Hinata examined the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and sensed Kaguya's dormant will within it.
• Hinata told Sasuke to extract the Ten-Tails' chakra, then explained that he should prepare to fight her and use his Rinnegan.
• Sasuke admitted he did not know how to extract chakra from the statue, so Hinata took charge while he laid out two sealing scrolls.

Sasuke sealed the Ten-Tails’ chakra and stayed behind to face Madara, while Hinata returned to Nagato and revived him. Madara regained his living body but remained blind until he took an eye from White Zetsu, then faced Sasuke’s challenge.

• Sasuke sealed the Ten-Tails’ chakra into the Sealing Scroll and told Hinata to continue the plan while he confronted Madara.
• Hinata returned to Nagato’s treehouse and used the Outer Path—Reanimation Jutsu to revive Madara Uchiha.
• Madara’s Impure World Reincarnation body became flesh and blood, but his eyes crumbled away because he had given them to Nagato.
• Madara, Black Zetsu, and Obito found Sasuke standing on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and they recognized his Rinnegan, including a Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.
• Madara offered Sasuke a chance to join him, but Sasuke challenged Madara to fight after he recovered his eyes.
• Madara implanted one of White Zetsu’s eyes and weighed whether to retrieve his own Rinnegan or face Sasuke without its power.
