Arc 18Kara and the Vessel
Shinki confronted Ōtsutsuki Ura, investigated Victor’s experiments, and uncovered Kara while rescuing its captured Vessel. The boy, renamed Shūichi, began a new life in Konoha, where Delta attacked before Amado restored her in a new body.
- Shinki traveled into the past, witnessed Ura defeat Gaara, and followed him across dimensions before refusing his invitation to join the Ōtsutsuki.
- Shinki defeated Ura with Rasenshuriken, explained the time-traveling turtle to Tsunade, and persuaded her to let it remain free.
- Shinki investigated Shōjōji’s identity theft and Kara’s abandoned Amegakure laboratory, then traced Victor’s experiments to the Hashirama Cells and a miniature God Tree.
- Shinki recovered the Hashirama Cells, defeated Deepa, and killed Victor, while Kara’s leader and Amado worked to conceal their plans and continue the Vessel experiments.
- Shinki took Kara’s Vessel from Ao and Wolou, read the boy’s memories, and found Kara’s abandoned laboratory before Sai made portraits of its members.
- Kabuto and Nonō welcomed the boy at their orphanage as Shūichi, who asked Shinki to help remove his Kāma and began training with Shinki’s Shadow Clone.
- Delta attacked Shinki and Shūichi during their training, but Shinki protected the boy and bound Delta before she detonated herself.
- Amado implanted Delta’s drone into a new body, and Delta awoke cursing the Sixth Hokage.
