Chapter Summaries

Liuyun told Minato that he would decide the fate of Konoha’s people based on whether they wished to join the Sound Village, while he planned to conquer the other countries and use the God Tree to reclaim chakra. He revealed that he sought a Chakra Fruit to face the Otsutsuki Clan, who were on their way to the planet, and intended to seal the God Tree afterward.

• Liuyun said he would use the Chakra Fruit’s power to face the Otsutsuki Clan alone and then seal the God Tree away forever.

Minato learned that Liuyun had unified the world and gathered chakra to prepare for enemies from beyond the heavens, and he returned to Konoha determined to correct Naruto and Sasuke’s view of him. Meanwhile, Liuyun watched the God Tree’s fruit ripen and began sorting Infinite Tsukuyomi captives, awakening some Konoha residents without chakra.

• Minato believed Liuyun’s explanation and apologized for having misunderstood him.

Liuyun met the Black Dragon, his old brother from Ryūchi Cave, and learned that its strength had grown far beyond what he expected. After Liuyun teased it about its cultivation and promised to take it beyond the planet to fight the Otsutsuki Clan, the Black Dragon challenged him and found itself immobilized.

• Liuyun’s daughter Nanao called him home for lunch, and he joined his family for a meal and a game of Dou Dizhu.
• A female Jonin reported that strange visitors, including one claiming to be Liuyun’s brother, had arrived outside the Yamikage Estate.

• The Black Dragon challenged Liuyun, but Liuyun immobilized it and mocked its weakness.

Liuyun negotiated with the great sacred regions over the God Tree’s roots, then learned from the Black Dragon how the tree and Kaguya Otsutsuki had devastated the world and its native immortal tradition. The chapter left Liuyun uncovering a history in which Kaguya had started the war that the victors later obscured.

• Liuyun restrained the Black Dragon, then heard requests from Shikkotsu Forest and Mount Myōboku to withdraw the God Tree roots spreading into their lands.

• The Black Dragon admitted that it had received spirit spring water and a spirit flower for lobbying Liuyun.
• The Black Dragon explained that ancient sages had failed to destroy the God Tree, which recovered by absorbing the earth’s energy and eventually devastated the world when Kaguya made it bloom and bear fruit.
• Liuyun realized that Kaguya had provoked the ancient war and that the victors had obscured the slaughter of native cultivators and the loss of their immortal tradition.

The Black Dragon urged Liuyun not to let the God Tree destroy the world, and Liuyun promised he would not harm his home. After meeting Nanao, the Black Dragon recognized her rare constitution and offered to ask the White Snake Sage to guide her; Liuyun then discovered the precious source water in the Black Dragon’s gourd.

• The Black Dragon explained that the Sacred Lands aided humans out of gratitude for ancient immortals and asked Liuyun to protect their shared home from the Demon Tree.

• Liuyun told Naruto and Sasuke they had to complete unpaid missions and pass the Sound Village's entry assessment before they could join.

Naruto and Sasuke received orders from Orochimaru to wipe out resistance in the Land of Fire, while Naruto struggled to accept killing his former countrymen. As the Akatsuki guarded the nearly ripe Chakra Fruit, an unknown attacker emerged from a Spatial Vortex and launched Six Paths Black Rods at them.

• Orochimaru sent Naruto, Sasuke, and other vanguard forces to eliminate the remaining nobles and rebels in the Land of Fire.
• Naruto hesitated over the mission, but insisted he would carry it out after Sasuke challenged his resolve and Minato offered to send a Shadow Clone with him.
• Deidara and Hidan argued while the Akatsuki members guarded the Chakra Fruit, which Konan and Nagato believed was close to ripening.
• A Spatial Vortex appeared above the God Tree, and an unseen attacker fired Six Paths Black Rods at nearly every Akatsuki member.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki attacked the Akatsuki Organization to seize the nearly ripe Chakra Fruit, but Liuyun intercepted him and healed the wounded. Isshiki focused on Liuyun as the main threat and prepared to fight for the God Tree and its fruit.

• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki ambushed the Akatsuki Organization with Six Paths Black Rods, injuring several members before Deidara struck his Spatial Vortex with a Clay Bird bomb.
• Isshiki emerged from the vortex and charged the Space Barrier around the Chakra Fruit, but Liuyun kicked him away.
• Liuyun used the God Tree to remove the Black Rods and heal the wounded Akatsuki members, then revealed he had lured Isshiki out with the fruit.

• Liuyun sent Deidara to tell the others to use the barrier technique, while Isshiki declared his intention to defeat Liuyun and claim the God Tree.

Liuyun confronted Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, taunting him about his past and trading rapid attacks with him. As the Akatsuki Organization members took positions around Isshiki, Liuyun charged back into battle, and the two continued clashing at extreme speed.

• Liuyun mocked Ōtsutsuki Isshiki for hiding from Kaguya and surviving by parasitizing Jigen, enraging him.
• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki entered Karma Stage Two and attacked with shrunken Black Receivers, but Liuyun caught them and countered.
• Liuyun struck Isshiki with his sword and kicked him in the groin as the Black Receivers pierced Liuyun; both suffered injuries, though Liuyun quickly healed.
• The Akatsuki Organization members spread into position around Ōtsutsuki Isshiki while Liuyun removed the Black Receivers and prepared to fight again.
• Liuyun charged Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, and the two exchanged blows so quickly that the watching Akatsuki members could barely see them.

Liuyun overwhelmed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki with his speed, strength, and Sage Lightning, forcing Isshiki to transform and risk everything in a final battle. Liuyun then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport behind Isshiki and stab him through the heart.

• Liuyun's dragon scales deflected Isshiki's Black Receivers, and his lightning-infused sword and punch sent Isshiki flying with Jigen's body near collapse.
• Isshiki transformed into his original form and attacked Liuyun with Daikokuten's black cubes and Black Receivers, but Liuyun caught or evaded them.
• Liuyun escaped the falling cubes with the Flying Thunder God Technique and threw Isshiki's shrunken Black Receivers at him.
• Liuyun teleported in front of Isshiki and plunged the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi into his heart, and Isshiki recognized the spatial teleportation technique.

Liuyun used the Eight Desolations God Trapping Array to trap Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and prevent him from escaping. Isshiki’s attacks failed to stop Liuyun, and he prepared to continue fighting under the mistaken belief that neither of them could use spatial abilities.

• Liuyun used the Flying Thunder God Technique to strike Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, then phased through Isshiki’s punch and kicked him away.
• The Akatsuki members and the Tendo Puppet formed the Eight Desolations God Trapping Array, sealing the space around Liuyun and Isshiki.
• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki unleashed a barrage of Black Receivers, but Liuyun advanced through the attack unharmed.
• Isshiki tried to use his Spatial Ability to reach the God Tree Fruit, discovered the barrier had sealed space, and failed to break through its golden walls.
• Liuyun manifested a Truth-Seeking Orb Black Receiver as the Tendo Toneri Puppet prepared a golden steel needle, while Isshiki wrongly assumed Liuyun could no longer use spatial abilities.

Liuyun defeated Ōtsutsuki Isshiki by combining his Truth-Seeking Orb receivers with an ambush from the Tendo Puppet, then seized Isshiki’s eyes. As the Akatsuki Organization gathered around the captured enemy, Liuyun activated the Human Path.

• Liuyun’s Truth-Seeking Orb receiver resisted Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s shrinking ability, and Liuyun battered Isshiki’s iron rod out of his hand.
• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki shrank to evade Liuyun’s attack, but the Tendo Puppet launched a microscopic needle that struck him and forced him back to full size.
• Liuyun pinned Ōtsutsuki Isshiki with Truth-Seeking Orb receivers, removed his Dharmachakra Eye and Byakugan, and declared the match decided.
• The Akatsuki Organization praised Liuyun and asked about Isshiki’s ability, so Liuyun explained Sukuna-Hikona and handed the eyes to the Tendo Puppet.
• Liuyun returned the Tendo Puppet to the Kamui Dimension, seized Ōtsutsuki Isshiki by the head, and activated the Human Path.

Liuyun absorbed the remaining chakra in the world, restored the Ten-Tails to its peak form, and fed it Kaguya Otsutsuki and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. The resulting Chakra Fruit remained high-grade, so Liuyun took the Ten-Tails into his body and left to make one final attempt at cultivating the Supreme God Fruit.

• Liuyun finished searching Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's memories, sent the Akatsuki Organization members back to the Sound Village, and absorbed the remaining Chakra Seeds through the God Tree.

• Liuyun absorbed the Ten-Tails into his body and left to pursue his final attempt at cultivating the Supreme God Fruit.

Liuyun found Isshiki's imprisoned Ten-Tails and fed it to his own gigantic Ten-Tails, which transformed into a God Tree and began producing a Supreme God Fruit. Far away, an Ōtsutsuki priestess sensed the fruit's appearance and opened a Spatial Tunnel to inform her Clan Leader.

• Liuyun entered Isshiki's Pocket Dimension and found the beast-form Ten-Tails chained in an underground chamber.

• An Ōtsutsuki priestess sensed the Supreme God Fruit's appearance and opened a Spatial Tunnel to inform the Clan Leader.

Otsutsuki Ya Cang learned that the Creation God Tree had sensed the appearance of a Supreme God Fruit, but the clan could not locate it. He ordered the Third Elder to continue divining while facing the threat that the gods and the tree would punish the clan if they failed to deliver a fruit.

• The Female High Priestess told Otsutsuki Ya Cang that the Creation God Tree had sensed a Supreme God Fruit but gave no clue to its location.
• Otsutsuki Ya Cang summoned the three elders and brought out the Myriad Stars Chart, warning that the clan must prevent another member from secretly consuming the fruit.

• The Third Elder tried to divine the fruit's location and found that it had been deliberately concealed.
• Otsutsuki Ya Cang ordered the Third Elder to prepare a divination ritual, explaining that both the gods and the Creation God Tree required Supreme God Fruits.

Liuyun waited for the Supreme God Fruit to ripen while the God Tree devoured Kaguya Otsutsuki's Pocket Dimensions to sustain it. After swallowing the fruit, Liuyun's eyes evolved and his body began transforming, so he sealed much of the energy inside himself and drifted toward the main world within a Truth-Seeking Orb, followed by the God Tree.

• Liuyun shielded the God Tree from perception and waited as it absorbed energy until its Supreme God Fruit ripened.
• Liuyun opened Spatial Tunnels so the God Tree could drain Kaguya Otsutsuki's Progenitor, Ice, Gravity, Acid, and Lava Dimensions, leaving them shattered or depleted.
• Liuyun plucked the scarlet, eyeball-shaped fruit from the God Tree, watched it shrink to cherry size, and swallowed it.
• The fruit's energy caused Liuyun's left eye to open and both eyes to evolve into Nine Tomoe Rinnegan, while a Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan appeared on his forehead.
• Liuyun sealed most of the energy flooding his body, enclosed himself in a Truth-Seeking Orb, and drifted toward the main world as the God Tree followed.

Otsutsuki Ya Cang investigated the missing clansmen after learning that a Supreme God Fruit had appeared, but the Creation God Tree suddenly went berserk, apparently after the fruit was consumed. Ya Cang and the clan’s strongest fighters suppressed the tree, though its rampage had threatened to destroy the clan’s territory.

• Otsutsuki Second Elder reported that none of the reachable clansmen had a Supreme God Fruit and suspected that missing teams might have cultivated one.
• Otsutsuki Ya Cang questioned Otsutsuki Momoshiki, who said he had not found a Supreme God Fruit and had yet to visit Kaguya and Isshiki.
• Otsutsuki Third Elder divined that the Supreme God Fruit was in the southeast, in the direction of Kaguya and Isshiki, as the palace began shaking.
• The Female High Priestess reported that the Creation God Tree had gone berserk and that the God Fruit had likely been consumed; Otsutsuki Ya Cang ordered Chakra Fruits and criminals offered to calm it.

• Otsutsuki Garuda, Otsutsuki Reishiki, Otsutsuki Koshi, and Otsutsuki Yuchen used their abilities together to restrain and stop the Creation God Tree.

Otsutsuki Ya Cang and the Venerables calmed the rampaging Creation God Tree with Otsutsuki Shenxu’s power and fed it offerings before meeting to discuss the traitor who had eaten the Supreme God Fruit. In the Ninja World, Liuyun returned home carrying the sealed God Fruit’s power and began sharing it with Asuka.

• Otsutsuki Kagutsuchi burned and swallowed a severed root, provoking the Creation God Tree to reveal its Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan.
• Otsutsuki Shenxu calmed the Creation God Tree, and Otsutsuki Ya Cang ordered Chakra Fruits and criminals offered as sacrifices.
• Otsutsuki Shenxu proposed capturing the traitor who ate the Supreme God Fruit and feeding him to the Creation God Tree, and Otsutsuki Ya Cang called the Venerables to a meeting.
• A blazing giant tree fell toward the Land of Rice, but Liuyun’s Truth-Seeking Orb absorbed it before Sound Village ninja could investigate.
• Liuyun returned to the Yamikage Estate and told Asuka and Kushina that he had eaten a Chakra Fruit and sealed its power.
• Liuyun began using Blood Exchange to give Asuka more powerful blood and Chakra despite her protests.

Liuyun infused Asuka with as much God Fruit power as her body could bear, then passed more power to Kushina and conceived another child with her. After unsealing some of his own power, he discovered his Inner Core had become a humanoid form and wondered if he had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

• Liuyun exchanged blood with Asuka and used the God Fruit's power to strengthen her until her body could bear no more.
• Kushina told Liuyun that Orochimaru had made Sara the Land of Wind's new daimyo and had taken Nanao to present her to the new daimyo.
• Liuyun hypnotized Asuka so she could adapt to her power, then took Kushina to the Kamui Dimension and transferred more God Fruit power to her.
• Liuyun and Kushina conceived a child after repeatedly sharing the power, and he sent her home once she was exhausted.
• Liuyun unsealed some of his power, found that his Inner Core had become humanoid, and resolved to absorb the remaining God Fruit energy slowly.
