Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Shimura Kentei reflects on the possibility that Naruto’s “dark side” was actually the original Naruto, while the righteous version may have been connected to Asura’s soul. He questions whether Indra and Asura were truly reincarnated or instead possessed successive hosts, suggesting that Naruto’s case may have involved the original Naruto being killed and replaced.

• After understanding the nature of True Waterfall, Kentei exits the genjutsu without producing a dark counterpart, shocking the Third Raikage. The Raikage explains that True Waterfall normally exposes a person’s inner darkness, but only beings with chakra can properly interact with it.
• Kentei tests this theory using chakra-less monkeys. By controlling them with Immortal Yuan Power and sending them into True Waterfall, he observes a dark shadow possessing one monkey and driving it berserk.
• Examination reveals that the possessed monkey has a chakra bloodline. This confirms Kentei’s suspicion that True Waterfall’s “dark side” is connected to chakra rather than merely ordinary negative emotions.
• Kentei provokes the Third Raikage by claiming that even the First Hokage is only barely strong by the Shimura Clan’s standards. He explains the theoretical existence of increasingly advanced chakra combinations, culminating in a possible seven-element Kekkei Genkai.
• Rather than debate theory, the Third Raikage asks what Kentei wants. Kentei requests his cooperation in future experiments, then asks to examine the Raikage’s unique black Lightning Release.
• Kentei analyzes the black Lightning Release in his Black Cauldron Space and concludes that it is not a Kekkei Genkai but a more advanced, purer form of the Lightning attribute.
