Chapter Summary: “Fugaku’s Mangekyō”

• Shimura Danzō uses Shadow Clones and a Four Red Yang Formation to create Natural Sage Fire, melting Heavy Gold, Sealing Crystal powder, and Perfect Chakra Metal.
• Secretly, Danzō replaces most of the Perfect Energy Metal with earth-nature Chakra Metal. Shimura Kentei conceals the alteration by manipulating the metal’s molecules and masking the evidence with radiation interference.
• The alloy skeleton is successfully cast, inspected by Iwagakure, and accepted as genuine.
• Kitsuchi undergoes the dangerous enlargement and implantation procedure. His heart and organs fail several times, but Kentei’s medical skill keeps him alive and the operation succeeds.
• Iwagakure provides numerous preserved Sharingan as payment. Danzō extracts their excess Pupil Power, removes the spiritual imprints of the Ten-Tails God Tree and the Sage of Six Paths, and fuses them into a powerful “super Sharingan.” Although visually only a Three-Tomoe Sharingan, it possesses strength comparable to a Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Ōnoki questions whether the Moon Otsutsuki Clan caused the destruction at the Land of Iron. Danzō admits that this possibility cannot be dismissed, though neither he nor his spies have found proof.
• Danzō explains that the Moon Otsutsuki possess superior “authority” over chakra. He claims that purifying chakra can weaken this control and offers to process Iwagakure’s ninja in exchange for Perfect Chakra Metal.
