Chapter Summaries

Wu Chen orchestrated battles over the Six-Tails and Eight-Tails, with Konoha and the Akatsuki clashing before superheroes helped Konoha defend the Eight-Tails in Australia. Minato Namikaze reached one hundred percent acting progress, and Wu Chen returned alone to the Kamui Dimension to check the system panel.

• Deidara, Obito, Minato Namikaze, and Might Guy gained acting progress after the failed attempt to capture the Five-Tails, with Might Guy gaining the most.

• The battle increased several characters' acting progress and brought Minato Namikaze to one hundred percent.
• Six months after New York's destruction, Wu Chen returned alone to the Kamui Dimension and opened the system panel.

Wu Chen reviewed his gains from the battle in Australia and chose new abilities for Minato, Obito, and Nagato, including Perfect Sage Mode, Wood Release, and a sensory technique. He discovered Deidara had an aptitude for Dust Release, while his character portrayal progress remained at 100% for Minato and the others’ listed percentages.

• Wu Chen reasoned that Ōnoki had likely recognized Deidara's Dust Release talent, but Deidara had left Iwagakure after becoming devoted to his art and joining the Akatsuki.

• The system offered Wu Chen either an upgraded Minato with a temporary tenfold strength burst or the real Minato as a loyal summon.
• Wu Chen chose the second option and gave up Minato as a role-playing character.

Wu Chen chose to summon a real, loyal Minato Namikaze rather than give his role character a temporary tenfold power boost. Minato joined Wu Chen and advised him on his plans, while Captain United States trained at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s new base and was approached by Hawkeye.

• Minato told Hawkeye they first needed to test his chakra nature.

• Natasha dodged an arrow that pierced her reinforced punching bag, several iron plates, and the training room wall.
• Natasha recognized the arrow as one like Hawkeye's and initially thought he had tried to kill her.
• Natasha saw Minato Namikaze through the hole and guessed he had accidentally fired the arrow while demonstrating a technique for Hawkeye.
• Hawkeye and Minato Namikaze entered Natasha's training room, where Minato checked that she was unharmed and examined the punching bag.

Minato Namikaze accidentally nearly hit Natasha with an arrow and decided to compensate her by taking her away with the Flying Thunder God Technique. In the Kamui Dimension, Wu Chen learned that S.H.I.E.L.D. was studying the Tesseract and realized Thanos’s plan to invade Earth with Loki and the Chitauri was still unfolding.

Nick Fury rushed to a suburban S.H.I.E.L.D. base after the Tesseract began fluctuating, but Loki arrived through its portal and stole it. Minato Namikaze diverted the resulting explosion, then demanded that Fury explain S.H.I.E.L.D.’s secret work with the Tesseract.

• Nick Fury left Captain America’s orders behind and hurried to the suburban base after learning the Tesseract was unstable.
• Agent Maria Hill and two agents assured Fury that Dr. Selvig had shown no unusual behavior.
• Loki emerged from the Tesseract’s portal, took it and Dr. Selvig, and escaped with the two agents; Hawkeye avoided being captured because he was training at headquarters.
• Minato Namikaze appeared and used Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder to redirect the Tesseract’s remaining energy far from the base, where it exploded.
• Minato Namikaze confronted Nick Fury and asked him to explain what had happened.

• Natasha persuaded Minato Namikaze to teach her Chakra Refinement, and he explained that Wu Chen was both his disciple and an equal in Konoha.

After Nick Fury explained that he had developed Tesseract-powered weapons to protect humanity from the Akatsuki and other threats, the heroes accepted his reasoning and prepared to recover the Tesseract. Minato Namikaze left to guard Konoha’s sealed Tailed Beasts, while Wu Chen went with him to retrieve his weapons.

• Nick Fury admitted that he had pursued Tesseract-powered weapons because S.H.I.E.L.D. felt helpless against the Akatsuki, Konoha, and Asgard.

• Wu Chen used the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring Dr. Banner to S.H.I.E.L.D. and presented the promised conditions to Nick Fury, who frowned deeply.
