Chapter Summaries

Tsunade demanded that the ninja villages join a new alliance under threat of destruction, setting a one-month deadline. After the meeting, Lin Ke and his companions ignored a Konoha Village Number Two group following them and returned to prepare experiments involving the tailed beasts.

• Ōnoki challenged the visitors from another world, while Sarutobi Hiruzen Number Two refused to choose between them and the other villages.
• The Fourth Raikage attacked the Third Mizukage’s call for restraint, and the gathered Shadow Guards drew their weapons.
• Tsunade declared that she would form an alliance of ninja in one month and destroy any village that refused to join.
• Utakata sensed that someone from Konoha Village Number Two was following the group as they headed back.
• Lin Ke summoned the Earth Dragon and said they would ignore the pursuers while preparing to extract the tailed beasts without harming their Jinchuriki.

Lin Ke discovered that consuming the Five Tails' shadow created a permanent shadow without hurting the beast, after abandoning his attempt to cut it apart. In World Number Three, Madara's Six Paths brought Killer B and Uzumaki Naruto to Uchiha Obito, who captured them and prepared to pursue the Eye of the Moon Plan.

• Lin Ke concluded that cutting into a Tailed Beast caused unbearable pain and chose not to continue the experiment.
• Lin Ke, Sasuke, and Utakata studied the Five Tails' shadow, then Lin Ke's shadow consumed it and created a permanent shadow as the Five Tails quickly recovered.
• Madara's Six Paths met Uchiha Obito in World Number Three and offered cooperation, bringing the unconscious Killer B and Uzumaki Naruto as proof of sincerity.
• Uchiha Obito pulled Killer B and Uzumaki Naruto into the Kamui Dimension and left to continue the Eye of the Moon Plan.
• Madara's Six Paths watched Obito depart and resolved to find a way back to the original world and Lin Ke.

Lin Ke tested whether Pearl Jam could become permanent by having it consume Six Tails chakra, but the experiment instead forced the chakra into his body and caused him severe pain. He concluded that Stands were projections of his mental strength, though they could still help him grow stronger by consuming chakra.

• Lin Ke had Pearl Jam eat a leftover scrap of Six Tails chakra while Utakata prepared to intervene.
• Lin Ke's body absorbed the chakra, causing intense pain as it spread through his chakra system and transformed into his own chakra, stamina, and mental strength.
• Sasuke stopped Utakata from sending chakra into Lin Ke and directed him to cool Lin Ke with Water Release.
• Number One Hashirama judged that Lin Ke would survive and explained that Pearl Jam had filtered out the Tailed Beast's will before sending the chakra into Lin Ke.
• After the symptoms subsided, Lin Ke realized Stands could not become permanent but could transport chakra into his body as a painful way to grow stronger.

Senju Tobirama studied Lin Ke’s unusual technique and speculated that his powerful Mental Energy could grant it materialized properties, but admitted he had no way to teach him to control it. In World Number Two, Number Two Hashirama stood by unifying Konoha across worlds, and Sarutobi Hiruzen Number Two agreed to speak with his counterpart.

• Senju Tobirama explained that Lin Ke’s technique used unusually powerful Mental Energy and suggested he might develop abilities like the Sage of Six Paths.
• Lin Ke asked how to train his control, but Senju Tobirama admitted he did not know and told him to ask the Sage of Six Paths.
• Lin Ke pinched Senju Tobirama’s cheeks, and Number One Hashirama watched them tussle with amusement.
• Sarutobi Hiruzen Number Two told Number Two Hashirama that he and his friends had failed to change his mind about joining their Konoha’s side.
• Number Two Hashirama argued that both Konoha groups shared the goal of peace and proposed unification, then urged Sarutobi Hiruzen Number Two to speak with his counterpart.
• Sarutobi Hiruzen Number Two accepted the suggestion.

Senju Tobirama explained Konoha’s plans for limiting reincarnation and discussed the village’s uncertain future with its leaders. Lin Ke then went to World Number Two, where he met Baki, the Wind Release teacher assigned to him.

• Senju Tobirama told Konoha’s leaders that reincarnation would be restricted and tied to merit earned through missions.
• Lin Ke left the meeting to visit World Number Two and meet the Wind Release teacher sent by Sunagakure.
• Nara Shikaku invited Lin Ke to visit him, and Lin Ke agreed before using the Body Flicker Technique to leave.
• Lin Ke recognized the young Baki as his new teacher, while Tsunade took Number Two Rasa to the Hokage Building to discuss village affairs.

Lin Ke learned Wind Release: Net from Baki, but his version created chakra ropes that linked targets and transmitted stray thoughts. After testing it on rabbits, he discovered the connections could form a network and share the technique’s chakra cost, leaving him eager to develop the mutated ninjutsu further.

• Refugees began building and decorating the expanded town around Kannabi Bridge.
• Baki taught Lin Ke Wind Release techniques and explained how to use Wind Release: Net.
• Lin Ke attempted the technique and produced a chakra rope instead of a conventional net.
• With Utakata supplying chakra, Lin Ke tested the rope on rabbits and experienced their thoughts.
• Lin Ke linked two rabbits, learned the network could connect its nodes and share chakra consumption, and recognized the technique’s potential.

Lin Ke tested the Net Technique with Senju Tobirama and Number Two Hashirama, discovering that it enabled unlimited communication across worlds. Their attempt to test the connection caused a brief doorway to open between the worlds before Senju Tobirama closed it.

• Lin Ke explained that he had linked nearby rabbits with the Net Technique, and Senju Tobirama asked him to stop their intrusive thoughts from reaching him.
• Lin Ke adjusted the rabbits’ permissions, then Senju Tobirama and Number Two Hashirama tested the technique’s ability to transmit information, sensations, sounds, images, and memories.
• Senju Tobirama realized the technique might overcome the communication barrier between worlds and told Lin Ke to return to the Main World.
• Lin Ke sensed the distant connection weaken, but a glowing doorway appeared and linked his laboratory to the laboratory in World Number Two.
• Number Two Hashirama released a surge of chakra through the doorway, and Senju Tobirama threw a scroll through it, causing the doorway to vanish.

Lin Ke and Senju Tobirama tested the Net Technique, confirmed it could connect the two worlds, and expanded it into a network for communication and shared media. A week later, Lin Ke connected the sealed Uchiha Madara to the Net, adding a new consciousness.

• Lin Ke and Senju Tobirama tested the passage between worlds with rabbits, a Shadow Clone, and a death-row prisoner, confirming that living creatures could cross safely.
• Lin Ke attached the Net Technique to the gathered ninjas, reducing its chakra cost, while Senju Tobirama concluded that widespread adoption could make it sustainable for ordinary users.
• Senju Tobirama and Lin Ke expanded the Net into chat, video, and forum features, and Lin Ke retained authority to block, mute, and delete users.
• Number One Hashirama and Number Two Hashirama tried to make an online gambling app, but Lin Ke disabled it and brought them to the Main World with the sealed Uchiha Madara.
• Lin Ke extended the Net Technique through Madara's chakra-isolating seal and connected a new consciousness to the Net.

Lin Ke helped the two Hashiramas confront Uchiha Madara, who was defeated and sealed again after refusing to cooperate. Days later, Lin Ke discovered that the Net Technique might reach into the Pure Land.

• Number Two Hashirama released Uchiha Madara from the seal, and Madara recognized the two living Hashiramas as coming from different worlds.
• Uchiha Madara summoned Susanoo and attacked, while Lin Ke fled and gathered fragments of tangible chakra from the battle.
• The two Hashiramas defeated Madara in under five minutes, and Senju Tobirama sealed him again.
• Senju Tobirama warned Lin Ke that Madara's chakra was dangerous, then returned with the Hashiramas to their respective worlds.
• Days later, Lin Ke rested in an ice-filled hot spring after absorbing chakra and realized the Net Technique might reach into the Pure Land.

Lin Ke expanded the Net into the Pure Land, where the dead remained silent until one of them eventually responded to his anonymous posts. Senju Tobirama received Orochimaru’s proposal to use the Boat Crossing Technique to find more Hashiramas for a hunt for Old Madara, and began choosing an advance team.

• Lin Ke connected Baki and other dead souls to the Net, but Baki could not reach the living-world server or Tieba.
• Lin Ke created a Pure Land server and posted dozens of anonymous messages, then left when no one replied; later, someone complained about his posts.
• Senju Tobirama messaged Number Two Hashirama to remind Tsunade and the others to attend the new Six Kage Summit, where they would establish the Ninja Alliance.
• Sasuke’s Perfect Susanoo had defeated infiltration attempts by Anbu from Kirigakure and Kumogakure, while the Daimyos of the Five Great Nations continued holding meetings.
• Orochimaru sent Senju Tobirama a proposal to use the Boat Crossing Technique to find another world and summon more Hashiramas to search for Old Madara.
• Senju Tobirama approved the proposal, ruled Orochimaru out of the advance team, and began considering who else should go.

Senju Tobirama prepared the Ninja Alliance’s cooperation plan and new mission system as the Six Kage Summit began. Tsunade introduced the Net Technique to the Kage, who accepted joining the alliance after seeing its communication capabilities, and Sarutobi Hiruzen Number Two noticed an unread agreement from Lin Ke.

• Senju Tobirama left home in Konoha’s reincarnator district and went to the Hokage Building to handle preparations for the Six Kage Summit.
• Senju Tobirama and Konoha’s leaders from the Main World settled on a mixed mission system, alongside plans to reform ninja education and reward alliance merits with services and access.
• Tsunade read Senju Tobirama’s cooperation plan at the Kannabi Bridge settlement, and Ōnoki asked what accepting the Net Technique meant.
• Tsunade connected Ōnoki to the Net, and after reading its usage guide, Ōnoki declared that Iwagakure had no objections to the treaty.
• Tsunade connected the other Kage to the Net, and Sarutobi Hiruzen Number Two found an unread message titled TP/Lin Ke Agreement.

Lin Ke discovered that the Pure Land Web had become a chaotic cesspit and worked with Yakushi Kabuto to create the TP/Lin Ke Agreement, which let Web automatically punish users who broke its rules. After appointing Kabuto to develop the Net Technique, Lin Ke returned to the calmer real-world server.

• Pure Land Web spread rapidly among deceased ninjas, whose anonymous arguments and improvised apps filled the unmoderated server with chaos.
• Lin Ke began cleaning up the server but struggled to enforce rules alone until Yakushi Kabuto offered his help and explained how Web's shared spiritual connections worked.
• Lin Ke established the TP/Lin Ke Agreement, allowing Web to supervise users and punish violations through rules most users accepted.
• Lin Ke summoned Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Nonō, then sent them to the orphanage; Yakushi Nonō reincarnated with Uchiha Shisui, while Kabuto chose to remain in the Pure Land and develop the Net Technique.
• Lin Ke left the Pure Land server exhausted and was relieved that the real-world Web remained comparatively peaceful.

Lin Ke sent the reincarnated people and sealed Uchiha Madara to World Number Two while Uchiha Izuna refused to reunite with the Uchiha Clan. Madara reconsidered his failed dream and accepted Hashirama’s offer to meet over a drink.

• Number One Hashirama opened a passage to World Number Two, and the reincarnated people crossed over with their families while Might Guy asked Lin Ke to help Kakashi.
• Uchiha Izuna rejected the Uchiha Clan and agreed to persuade his brother, while Lin Ke gave the brothers a monitored private chat.
• Uchiha Izuna urged Madara to lie low and restore the Uchiha Clan, but Madara told him that the times had changed.
• Madara acknowledged that his dream had failed and that Hashirama might have been right, despite Izuna’s protest.
• Number One Hashirama welcomed Madara back and invited him to share a drink, and Madara silently accepted.

At the Kannabi Bridge garrison, Lin Ke learned several Wind Release techniques from a brainwashed young Baki while keeping him under observation. In World Number Two, Uchiha Madara offered to scout other worlds if Lin Ke reincarnated Izuna, then insisted they find Obito and Black Zetsu first.

• Lin Ke explained that young Baki could not leave the garrison because he knew too much about Lin Ke’s secrets, and he used Genjutsu to make Baki forget their previous conversation.
• Lin Ke learned Wind Release: Great Net, Air Current Dance, and Wind Cutter Technique from Baki, then asked him to explain the difficult A-rank Wind Blade.

• Madara agreed to work for them if Lin Ke reincarnated Izuna, and Hashirama immediately accepted.
• Madara asked to find Obito and Black Zetsu before they set out.

Lin Ke tested new Wind Release techniques while the Ninja Alliance dealt with the aftermath of war and Uchiha Madara searched for Uchiha Obito. Madara and Senju Hashirama cornered Obito in Takigakure and urged him to surrender as they rescued the Seven Tails Jinchuriki.

• Lin Ke discovered that Wind Release: Great Net created a separate net from Net Technique, then tested Air Current Dance and found it could sustain chaotic winds for several minutes.
• Lin Ke reflected on the Ninja Alliance’s work, Uchiha Izuna’s new job, and Uchiha Madara’s search for Uchiha Obito.
• Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama confronted Uchiha Obito as he tried to leave Takigakure with the captured Seven Tails Jinchuriki.
• Uchiha Madara explained that Obito’s Kamui left him vulnerable when he became tangible, while Senju Hashirama urged him to surrender.
• Senju Hashirama’s trees carried away the Seven Tails Jinchuriki, leaving Obito trapped and furious.

Lin Ke prepared for the Space-Time Pursuit Squad’s mission while Uchiha Madara and the younger Namikaze Minato traveled with Number Two Hashirama to World Number Three. They arrived near Sunagakure amid a world overrun by giant vines, as Kaguya Ōtsutsuki confronted Uchiha Obito and Second Pillar.

• Uchiha Madara gave Lin Ke a Rinnegan to keep before vanishing, and Lin Ke stayed up training Wind Release techniques until dawn.
• Lin Ke, Utakata, Uchiha Madara, and Number One Hashirama traveled to World Number Two, where Senju Tobirama assigned the younger Namikaze Minato to join the mission.
• Number Two Hashirama used the Boat Crossing Technique to send Uchiha Madara and the younger Namikaze Minato to World Number Three.
• The travelers arrived near Sunagakure and found enormous vines holding cocoons across a seemingly lifeless landscape.
• Uchiha Obito used Kamui to save Second Pillar from Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who declared that she would kill them and reclaim all chakra.

Old Madara revealed that the Eye of the Moon Plan was built on a false tablet, just as Ōtsutsuki Kaguya attacked the visitors from other worlds. Namikaze Minato escaped with Old Madara, but Number Two Hashirama was struck by Kaguya’s bone spike, and the survivors returned to the Kannabi Bridge encampment without him.

• Old Madara told Number One Madara and Number Two Hashirama that the stone tablet was false and the Eye of the Moon Plan would destroy humanity.

• Ōtsutsuki Kaguya weakened herself trying to copy Minato’s space-time technique, and Number One Madara and Number Two Hashirama attacked her.
• Ōtsutsuki Kaguya pierced Number Two Hashirama with a bone spike, and Namikaze Minato returned to the Kannabi Bridge encampment with Old Madara.
• Senju Tobirama noticed that only one person had returned, while Lin Ke calmly awaited an explanation.

Senju Tobirama killed Old Madara and had Lin Ke revive Number Two Madara, who revealed the Eye of the Moon Plan and Kaguya’s resurrection in another world. After deciding the enemy was too dangerous to confront, Tobirama ordered final preparations while Lin Ke returned to the Main World, where Hina told him that Sasori of the Red Sands had arrived with a Sunagakure group.

• Senju Tobirama stabbed the dying Old Madara to death, and Lin Ke used the Summoning Technique to revive Number Two Madara.
• Number Two Madara recounted how Black Zetsu had manipulated him into the Eye of the Moon Plan and revealed that Kaguya had been resurrected in his world.
• Senju Tobirama decided they could not send anyone to fight Kaguya and told Lin Ke to make the final preparations to abandon both worlds.
• Lin Ke returned to the Main World, gathered his escape-plan scrolls, and put on his old uniform.
• Hina told Lin Ke that Haruno Sakura had become a Special Jonin, Naruto was preparing for the Chunin Exams, and Temari, Gaara, Kankuro, and Sasori of the Red Sands were staying nearby.

Lin Ke reunited with Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, and Sasori in Sunagakure as the Chunin Exams approached. Sasori proposed using Lin Ke’s sealing jutsu to create Sage Art Human Puppets, but Lin Ke rejected the idea.

• Lin Ke went with Hina to visit the Sunagakure group and embraced Gaara, who had grown more accustomed to normal life and was communicating with Shukaku.
• Gaara told Lin Ke that Shukaku had promised to stop disturbing his sleep as long as Gaara did not transform in front of Lin Ke.
• Temari and Kankuro greeted Lin Ke, and Kankuro asked whether Lin Ke had kept his old puppet.
• Lin Ke saw Sasori in his Original Body and learned that he had come to buy it back and discuss cooperation.
• Sasori proposed combining Lin Ke’s sealing jutsu with Human Puppets to make immortal puppets that used Natural Energy, but Lin Ke said he was not interested.

Lin Ke agreed to a challenge from Kankuro, Temari, and Gaara, offering Human Puppets, Sasori’s Original Body, and access to seal research as prizes. The group prepared to repeat their old bell-grabbing test, with Temari demanding a date with Lin Ke if they won.

• Lin Ke told Sasori to seek the seals or Original Body through a trade with the Hokage, while reflecting on Konoha’s ongoing experiments with degraded Original Body cells.
