• Shinki used a Shadow Clone and Dust Release to reduce Delta to nothing, then learned from returned memories that Jigen had escaped with help from a traitorous Anbu.

After Shinki insisted that Shūichi stay in Konoha, he joined Naruto and Sasuke for a barbecue, where a misunderstanding about the women’s conversation left him bewildered. Meanwhile, Jigen and Amado discussed the failed mission and decided to destroy the Ōtsutsuki Cult before Konoha could reach it.

• Shinki persuaded Konoha to let Shūichi stay, then clarified that he had wanted to invite Naruto and Sasuke to barbecue rather than answer Naruto’s question.
• At the Naka River, Naruto and Sasuke brought Hinata, Sakura, and Ino to the barbecue, and Shinki mistook their talk about a company massage device for something intimate.

Shinki and Shikamaru investigated the theft of Konoha’s Defense Map and Sewer Line Map, which Konohamaru’s squad soon found on a tower. Kashin Koji and Amado then used Koji’s reconnaissance to move Amado into Konoha, where he entered wearing a Chakra Concealment Device.

• Shikamaru discovered that Konoha’s Defense Map and Sewer Line Map were missing and reported the theft to Shinki.
• Shinki and Shikamaru checked the Records Room surveillance, found that it had been disabled during the night, and ordered an investigation and a change to the Chakra Cannon’s deployment.

• Amado received a message from Koji, and Naruto arranged his glasses so the message could be projected onto the wall.

Amado showed Naruto, Shikamaru, Sasuke, and Shinki a live feed of Kashin Koji confronting Jigen, then explained that Isshiki Ōtsutsuki controlled Jigen and sought a stronger vessel. The revelation that Shūichi was also one of Isshiki’s vessels left the group facing the threat behind Jigen’s plans.

• Amado showed the group Koji’s live fight with Jigen and said Koji’s actions would prove he wanted to defect from Kara.
• Jigen revealed that he knew Koji and Amado had betrayed him, while Koji attacked with Fire Style and Toad Oil before Jigen countered with Sukunahikona.
• Amado identified Jigen’s shrinking ability as Isshiki’s power, then told the group that Isshiki Ōtsutsuki was controlling Jigen.
• Amado explained that Isshiki had arrived in the Shinobi World with Kaguya, survived her attack by entering Jigen as a parasite, and later implanted Kāma to seek resurrection.
• Amado said Jigen was too fragile to serve as Isshiki’s perfect vessel and confirmed that Shūichi was another vessel Isshiki had found.

Amado explained that Isshiki’s resurrection through Jigen would erase the Kāma on Shūichi and leave Isshiki only two days to implant another one. After Isshiki revived and defeated Kashin Koji, Shinki sent Shadow Clones to the alternate dimension, where one caught a rock Isshiki had dropped on Koji.

• Amado explained that Koji was forcing Jigen into a fight so Jigen’s death would trigger Isshiki’s resurrection, and that Isshiki would then seek Shūichi within two days.
• The projection revealed Kashin Koji’s face, prompting Naruto to recognize Jiraiya and Shinki to question Amado about cloning him.
• Koji used the Flame Mountain Great Fire, which Jigen could not absorb, and the flames killed Jigen and the weakened Isshiki, triggering Isshiki’s resurrection.
• Amado warned that Koji had no chance of surviving against Isshiki, while Shinki decided to investigate the alternate dimension using Shadow Clones.
• Isshiki pinned the injured Koji beneath rocks and summoned another stone above his head, but an unseen hand reached through the void and caught it.

Shinki’s Shadow Clones confronted Isshiki in the Alternate Dimension while the real Shinki remained in Konoha, where Amado gave Shikamaru a vague explanation for not contacting Konoha sooner. Isshiki escaped the clones’ opening attack by shrinking himself, but realized he was badly outmatched and needed to escape before his remaining two days ran out.

• Naruto and the others left to organize Konoha’s evacuation while Shikamaru questioned Amado about why he had not sought Shinki’s help earlier, and Amado said he only did things he was sure of.
• Six Shinki clones appeared in the Alternate Dimension, and Isshiki realized Amado had exposed his location.
• The clones distracted Isshiki long enough for Koji to escape by summoning a giant toad, then one clone attacked Isshiki with Night Guy.
• Isshiki blocked the kick with a black cube and shrank himself with Sukunahikona to evade the clones.
• The clones summoned Susanoo Warrior Gods, but Isshiki shrank them and the clones decided to wait out his remaining two days while monitoring his space-time technique.
• Isshiki concluded he could not defeat Shinki’s clones and resolved to escape, even if he could only place another Kāma on someone.

Shinki defeated Isshiki and returned to the Hokage's Office, where Shikamaru called off the evacuation. In the Ten-Tails' dimension, Isshiki's Kāma awakened in Code's palm, and Isshiki appeared to name him his heir.

• Shinki's Shadow Clones pursued Isshiki through alternate dimensions until Shinki arrived and revealed he had learned about the Ōtsutsuki's home from Momoshiki's Kāma and could see the future using Ōtsutsuki Pu Shi's eyes.

• Shinki killed Isshiki and returned to the Hokage's Office, where Shikamaru called Naruto and the others to end the shelter order.
• Code's white Kāma awakened in the Ten-Tails' dimension, and Isshiki's apparition called Code his loyal servant and sole heir.

Amado warned Shinki, Shikamaru, and Naruto that Code, a surviving Kara member with a white Kāma and a limiter on his power, remained a threat and might have access to a Ten-Tails. In the Land of Snow, Code killed the Ōtsutsuki Cult guards, confronted Bagu, and demanded Ada’s power for revenge before reaching her sealed chamber.

• Amado told Shinki, Shikamaru, and Naruto that Code was a devoted Isshiki follower whose failed Kāma branding left him with a white Kāma, and that Amado had installed a limiter on his power.

• Code reached the Ōtsutsuki Cult base in the Land of Snow and killed the guards who blocked his way.
• Code seized Bagu, learned that Boro and Jigen were dead, and announced that he planned to avenge them on the Sixth Hokage of Konoha.
• Code ordered Bagu to take him to Ada, the test subject Jigen had ordered Boro to destroy, and entered a sealed chamber containing a huge transparent incubation tank.

Code freed Ada from her cultivation tank and fell under her heart-stealing ability, then questioned her about her powers and learned she longed for a genuine romance. He suspected Shinki might be the only person who could love her unaffected, leaving him worried he had released a rival.

• Code recognized Ada as the experimental subject Jigen had ordered Boro to destroy and tore open her cultivation tank despite Bagu’s warning.
• Ada ignored Code’s greeting, then stopped him from attacking her and left to wash; Code realized she had stolen his heart.
• Ada explained that her Clairvoyance let her observe places and events from the past, but not see the future, and named the Sixth Hokage as someone with a similar ability.
• Ada admitted she could not tell whether people’s feelings for her were genuine and said she longed for an ordinary romance with someone immune to her power.
• Code reasoned that a Kāma Vessel could be immune to Ada’s ability and feared that Shinki might be her only possible romantic match.

Ada formed a partnership with Code and brought him to meet her younger brother Daemon at the Ōtsutsuki Cult base. Meanwhile, Amado explained Code’s Claw Marks to Shinki and confirmed his involvement in past technology projects; the chapter ended as cult members arrived after Code broke into Daemon’s room.

• Ada told Code she would gather information while he protected her, and Bagu led them through the Ōtsutsuki Cult base.
• Amado explained that Code used Claw Marks to move between fixed locations and admitted he had helped develop technology for the White Night Group, the Land of Snow, and Konoha.

• Code tore open a sealed cultivation tank, but it was empty, and Daemon appeared on his back and criticized his looks.
• Ada introduced Daemon as her younger brother and Code’s fellow knight, then cult members arrived to investigate the noise.

Ada demonstrated Daemon’s ability to Code while the Ōtsutsuki Cult patrol attacked, and Amado offered to restore Shūichi’s Kāma after warning that his Ōtsutsuki-fication was irreversible. Shūichi remained suspicious of Amado, while Shikamaru showed Shinki a strange black pattern found on the Konoha Wall.

• Daemon killed the Ōtsutsuki Cult patrol members by reflecting their killing intent, and Ada explained his ability to Code.
• Shūichi woke from a nightmare about Code, then Amado told him that his Ōtsutsuki-fication would continue despite the disappearance of his Kāma.
• Amado offered to rebuild the connection between Shūichi and the Ōtsutsuki power in his body, but Shūichi questioned his motives and left.
• Amado privately suspected that Shūichi would not give up the Kāma’s power easily.
• Shinki told Shikamaru that Amado could use Konoha’s laboratory under watch, and Shikamaru showed him a photograph of a strange black pattern found on the Konoha Wall.

Shinki and Amado investigated Code’s Claw Marks across the Five Great Shinobi Villages while Ada and Code waited for a chance to act. At Konoha’s orphanage, Shūichi grew attached to his peaceful new life, trained to protect it, and lost a spar to Konohamaru, resolving to prove himself without Kāma.

• Shinki showed Amado a photograph of a Claw Mark, and patrols later found similar marks around Konoha and the other great villages.
• Amado warned Shinki that Code could travel through the Claw Marks, while Ada and Code discussed using them to distract the villages as they waited for an opportunity.

• Shūichi resolved to grow strong enough to protect Konoha from Code and challenged Konohamaru to a spar.
• Konohamaru defeated Shūichi, who recognized his dependence on Kāma and resolved to prove he could fight without it.

Shūichi fled Konoha to avoid bringing danger to the village, but Code intercepted him and tried to take him away. Shinki arrived as Code dragged Shūichi through a Claw Mark, leaving Code trapped halfway through in another dimension.

• After Shūichi lost to Konohamaru, Konohamaru told him that Kara traces had been found near Konoha and revealed that Anbu were guarding him.
• Amado brought a Cultivation Pod to the Konoha Research Institute, where Katatsuke saw its contents and was shocked.
• Shūichi slipped away from the Anbu watching him on Kage Rock and fled Konoha, while Shinki sent a Wood Human Clone after him and Ada woke Code.
• Code intercepted Shūichi outside Konoha and used his Claw Marks to stay on his back before pulling him toward a Claw Mark.
• Shinki arrived as Code transported Shūichi, and Code's lower half became stuck in the Claw Mark in Ada's dimension.

Code attacked Shinki’s Shadow Clone while trying to abduct Shūichi, but Shūichi awakened Kāma and an eye resembling Isshiki’s dōjutsu after witnessing the clone’s apparent death. The next morning, Konoha’s leaders gathered to discuss Kāma’s return and whether Isshiki had revived.

• Code branded Shinki’s Shadow Clone with a Claw Mark and attacked, but a vine struck Code and let Shinki rescue Shūichi before Dust Release destroyed the clone.
• While flying through the air, Shūichi awakened Kāma and golden patterns around his eye, then Shinki’s real body used a Flying Thunder God Mark to bring him home.
• Shinki revealed that he was alive, questioned Shūichi about Kāma’s return, and learned that Shūichi did not know why it had reappeared.
• Ada told Code that Shinki had survived because he had fought only a Shadow Clone, while Code planned to use his Claw Mark on Shūichi to infiltrate Konoha and kidnap Amado.
• Ada noticed that Kāma had reappeared on Shūichi and suspected the event involved an old fox, while Code wondered whether Isshiki had returned.
• The next morning, Shinki convened Konoha’s leaders and Amado to discuss Shūichi’s Kāma, and Naruto suggested that Isshiki might have come back to life.

Amado explained how Shūichi’s Kāma had reappeared and revealed the dangerous abilities of Ada and Daemon. Shinki became convinced Amado had secretly restored Shūichi’s Kāma and considered how to investigate him.

• Amado said Isshiki’s sealed power had reappeared in Shūichi as a weapon, and Shinki described Code’s ability to reflect attacks during their fight.
• Amado identified the reflection as Daemon’s Shinjutsu and explained that his sister Ada could see events anywhere in the world and witness the past.
• Shinki arranged protection for Amado, then confronted him in his laboratory about placing the Kāma mark on Shūichi.
• Shūichi arrived and said Amado had proposed restoring his Kāma before modifying his body without waiting for his consent.
• Amado claimed he had acted for Konoha and that Shūichi’s own will reactivated the Kāma, but Shinki doubted his motives and considered imprisoning him or reading his memories.

Shinki read Amado’s memories and learned that Amado had used Shūichi’s Kāma in hopes of resurrecting his daughter, Akebi Sanzu. After Code abducted Amado, Shinki suspected that Amado had hidden or manipulated parts of his memories and wondered whether the kidnapping was part of a larger plan.

• Amado offered to let Shinki read his memories, revealing his efforts to resurrect Akebi Sanzu and his decision to implant her memories into Shūichi’s Kāma.
• Shinki questioned Amado about why he had not asked for help, and Amado explained that experiments had damaged Akebi’s remains.
• When Shūichi asked whether Akebi’s resurrection would turn her into an Ōtsutsuki and take over his body, Code emerged through a Claw Mark and abducted Amado.
• Back in the Hokage’s Office, Shinki realized that parts of Amado’s memories had been blurry and suspected that Amado had controlled what he saw.
• An Anbu reported that Code had taken Amado, and Shinki wondered whether Amado had planned the abduction from the start.

Code forced Amado to remove his limiters, restoring his power, while Ada stopped Code from killing Amado because she wanted advice about starting a relationship with Shinki. The chapter left Code and Daemon facing off as Amado advised Ada to make the first move.

• Code took Amado to an alternate dimension and demanded that he remove his limiters while Ada and Daemon watched.
• Amado guessed that Ada wanted to date Shinki, and Ada ordered Code to release him so she could hear what he had to say.

• Code charged at Daemon while Ada asked Amado how to start a romance with Shinki, and Amado advised her to make the first move.
