Chapter Summaries

Habara and Shisui defeated a Sunagakure Anbu squad and discovered its leader was Yashamaru. After learning their target had entered the trap, they disguised themselves as Anbu and headed toward the fortress to pursue Obito.

• Shisui rapidly killed five Sunagakure Anbu while Habara watched and assessed his growing speed.
• The remaining Anbu tried to escape and signal for help, but Habara stopped their leader, blocked his Magnet Style attack, and subdued him with Sharingan genjutsu.
• Orochimaru sensed the battle from afar, continued toward the fortress, and reflected on his desire to study Sharingan and obtain Uchiha tissue.
• Habara and Shisui learned through genjutsu that the Anbu captain was Yashamaru and that someone had already drawn attention near the fortress.
• Habara told Shisui that Obito had fallen into their trap, then the two disguised themselves as Sunagakure Anbu and followed Yashamaru toward the fortress.

Habara and Shisui coordinated with Konoha’s agents in Sunagakure to locate the village’s hidden stores of documents and techniques, while Orochimaru challenged Obito to use other villages’ intelligence networks. Habara and Shisui inspected a suspected site and sensed they were being watched.

• Habara and Shisui reassured two Konoha Anbu agents, then asked them for locations and defenses of Sunagakure’s important archives and warehouses.

• Habara sensed someone watching them and concluded the site might be their target.

Habara and Shisui investigated a suspicious park in Sunagakure and planned to raid its fountain that night, while Obito tortured captured Kumogakure Anbu for information. After realizing Habara might have entered the village, Obito asked Orochimaru for help locating their target and offered him Sharingan in return.

• Habara and Shisui identified the fountain as a likely hidden entrance or emergency exit and decided to investigate it first, with Chiyo as their backup target.
• Shisui chose a discreet approach through the park, and Habara planned to use Space Ninjutsu to retreat and draw Obito out after securing their target.
• Obito tortured a captured Kumogakure Anbu member in a sealed basement after White Zetsu helped him locate foreign spies in Sunagakure.
• Orochimaru met Obito, who explained that a missing Anbu squad might mean Habara had entered the village and urged them to act that night.
• Obito offered Orochimaru Sharingan, Mangekyō Sharingan, and a future leadership position in exchange for his help, then vanished as Orochimaru dismissed him as an idiot.

Habara and Shisui silently eliminated the watchers in Sunagakure’s park and raided a hidden archive, where they found unlabelled records of the village’s secrets. As Obito and Orochimaru arrived, Habara discovered a scroll titled One's Own Life Reincarnation Technique.

• Habara used a Shadow Clone to distract the park’s watchers while Shisui and Habara silently killed them.

• Habara secured the technique and other scrolls, then sensed Obito and Orochimaru approaching.
• Obito attacked Habara with Kamui, but Habara countered with Void Walk as space around them grew unstable.

• Rasa rushed to respond to the explosion and sensed several powerful chakra signatures spreading through the village.
• Shisui emerged unharmed from the ruins, and Orochimaru began summoning an Impure World Reincarnation for him to fight.

Uchiha Madara was summoned in his Impure World Reincarnation body and challenged Uchiha Shisui while Habara fought Uchiha Obito in Sunagakure. As Obito grew desperate and unleashed several Space Turbulences, Habara prepared to end their fight quickly and support Shisui.

• Uchiha Madara awakened under Orochimaru's control, learned that Uchiha Obito had become a threat, and agreed to fight Uchiha Shisui while Habara was occupied.
• Uchiha Shisui identified himself as the Uchiha Clan's Vice Clan Head and prepared to face Uchiha Madara, who sensed his Hashirama power and Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Habara sensed Obito's Kamui attack and used Void Walk to tear open space and expose Obito, then clashed with him atop Sunagakure's buildings.
• Sunagakure shinobi watched the fight and began evacuating residents as flames and a powerful chakra surge erupted from the direction of Madara and Shisui's battle.
• Habara accelerated his attacks to finish Obito and reach Shisui, while Obito responded by unleashing several Space Turbulences around him.

• Uchiha Madara outmatched Shisui in close combat, but Shisui’s genjutsu deceived him and let Shisui resume the fight with Fire Release.

• Habara’s Space Ninjutsu shattered the Kamui Dimension and distorted Obito’s body, forcing Obito to use his eyes to try to reverse the damage.

Habara captured Obito, removed his Mangekyō Sharingan, and left him bound after telling him to seek answers in Konoha. He returned to Sunagakure, where he and Shisui faced a village counterattack alongside Uchiha Madara, who proposed they join forces to test his new techniques.

• Habara removed Obito's eyes, bound him, and said he would keep him alive until he revealed everything he knew.
• Obito asked whether the technique he sought was real, and Habara told him to find out after returning to Konoha.
• Habara emerged above Sunagakure and found Shisui and Uchiha Madara facing attacks from the village's shinobi and puppets.

• Uchiha Madara noticed Habara's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and, after declining to fight him, asked him to join forces against the Sunagakure shinobi.

Habara, Uchiha Madara, and Shisui fought their way through Sunagakure after joining forces, with Madara using Wood Release and Habara combining it with Fire Release. They overwhelmed the Sand Ninja, while Chiyo and Ebizo began to suspect that Madara looked familiar.

• Habara recognized White Zetsu's power in Uchiha Madara and realized Madara could use Wood Release.
• Rasa, Chiyo, and Ebizo surrounded the trio, and Madara unleashed Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence against the Sand Ninja.
• Habara followed with Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation, combining his flames with Madara's wood and inflicting heavy losses.
• Rasa attacked with Gold Dust while Chiyo sent her puppets against the trio, but Habara, Shisui, and Uchiha Madara evaded and counterattacked.
• The Sand Ninja struggled to land a hit as Habara and Uchiha Madara destroyed their attacks, and Chiyo and Ebizo wondered why Madara looked familiar.

Habara, Shisui, and Uchiha Madara fought through Sunagakure’s defenders, and Madara unleashed Wood Release before Habara set it ablaze. The resulting inferno and poisonous smoke forced Rasa, Chiyo, and Ebizo to order a retreat, leaving Habara to ask whether another battle remained.

• Habara and the others fought separately as Rasa ordered the Sand Ninja to keep them from regrouping.
• Uchiha Madara used Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees and released poisonous pollen, while Sunagakure’s shinobi tried to counter it with Wind Release.
• Habara arrived beside Madara and explained that he wanted to preserve Sunagakure’s people and strength while bringing the village under his control.

• Habara remarked that the battle was over and asked Uchiha Madara whether they still had another fight ahead.

Habara and Uchiha Madara agreed to end the battle, while Orochimaru questioned Habara about the Resurrection Technique and received no clear answer. After the groups parted, Madara met Black Zetsu, ordered him to verify whether Obito was dead, and asked to hear about Habara’s recent actions and plans for peace.

• Madara asked Black Zetsu to report Habara’s recent deeds, his peace plan, and its results.

Habara and Shisui escaped Sunagakure after confronting Uchiha Madara, and Habara considered how Obito’s removal could shift control of Akatsuki. Uchiha Madara planned to use Orochimaru to direct Akatsuki and train a new vessel, while Black Zetsu named a candidate who hated Habara.

• Habara told Shisui that Uchiha Madara stood far above others and explained how Madara’s pride and failure to understand people had driven others away.
• Shisui reflected on what he had learned and noted that Obito could no longer attack their people from the shadows, though they had not found the Resurrection Technique.
• Habara worried that Orochimaru or Uchiha Madara might take control of Akatsuki after Obito’s removal and considered the danger Madara’s return would pose.
• Uchiha Madara told Black Zetsu to have Orochimaru control Akatsuki without learning their true goal and to train a new vessel in Obito’s place.
• Black Zetsu said he had a candidate in mind: someone who hated Uchiha Habara, had been expelled from the clan, and had awakened the Mangekyo before it was taken away.

Habara told Jiraiya and Nara Shikaku that his raid on Sunagakure had achieved its objectives, then revealed a resurrection technique for Tsunade to assess. After Tsunade warned that the technique could kill its caster, Habara proposed using Shisui’s Genjutsu to influence an immortal test subject, and Tsunade realized he meant Hidan.

• Jiraiya and Nara Shikaku reprimanded Habara and Shisui for the destruction their raid had caused in Sunagakure, while Habara argued that the operation had succeeded.
• Habara asked Jiraiya and Nara Shikaku to arrange a secure laboratory and involve Tsunade in examining the resurrection technique he had found.
• Tsunade concluded that the technique could revive the dead by transferring vitality and awakening the soul, but using it likely killed the caster and required a complete body.
• Nara Shikaku asked whether Genjutsu could control the caster, and Tsunade explained the risks of direct and indirect control.
• Habara suggested that Shisui use gradual Mental Suggestion, and Shisui agreed that he could influence a target over a week or two.

Uchiha Itachi continued training after losing his Mangekyō Sharingan, and Black Zetsu offered him a way to challenge Uchiha Habara if he was willing to risk everything. In Konoha, Habara gathered the Seven Great Clans and others to test a jutsu that might resurrect the dead, leaving them poised for its first demonstration.

• Uchiha Itachi reaffirmed his determination to clear the Third Hokage's name and prove Uchiha Habara and the others wrong as he trained.
• Black Zetsu approached Uchiha Itachi and offered him a method to oppose Uchiha Habara, contingent on his resolve and willingness to risk everything.
• Nara Shikaku gathered the Seven Great Clans, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Kakashi in a hidden laboratory to witness Habara's experiment.
• Shisui told Habara that Kotoamatsukami had controlled Hidan and reinforced the suggestion that he learn and perform the jutsu.
• Habara summoned a body with the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu and explained his plan to combine it with the jutsu he had discovered.
• A laboratory door opened as a figure entered, and the gathered observers prepared to see the experiment begin.

Habara used Hidan’s life force and the Resurrection Technique to revive Nohara Rin, proving that the dead could be brought back to life. Rin awoke, reunited with Kakashi, and accepted that she was alive.

• Hidan left the laboratory after enduring torture and, compelled by a voice in his heart, began the resurrection technique on Nohara Rin.
• Habara watched Hidan’s life force flow into Rin as her Impure World Reincarnation body dissolved and began rebuilding into a living body.
• Rin’s heart began beating, her eyes returned to normal, and Hidan collapsed unconscious.
• Tsunade and the others witnessed the successful resurrection, and Tsunade considered the possibility of reviving her younger brother and awakening the Senju Clan’s Wood Release bloodline.
• Kakashi rushed to Rin, who recognized him, embraced him, and said that being alive was wonderful.

Habara’s Living World Reincarnation successfully revived Nohara Rin, while Hidan survived the process in a dried-out state. In the Kamui Dimension, Obito awaited proof that Rin had truly returned, and Habara arrived with her.

• Habara reassured the gathered clan heads that his resurrection technique needed further testing, then checked Hidan with Shisui and confirmed that Hidan was still alive.
• Shisui praised Habara’s foresight in capturing Hidan, and Habara told Kakashi to have Tsunade examine Nohara Rin before meeting someone.

• Habara warped into the Kamui Dimension with two others, and Obito froze when he saw one of them.

Habara revived Nohara Rin and reunited her with Kakashi and Obito, who struggled to believe she was alive. After explaining the limits of the resurrection technique to Konoha’s leaders, Habara left them with the prospect of future clan-related discussions.

• Obito saw the resurrected Nohara Rin and Kakashi, realized Habara’s experiment had worked, and questioned whether Rin’s return was real.
• Habara and Shisui left Rin, Kakashi, and Obito to talk while Habara tested Obito’s eye and explained that he could control its Kamui ability.
• Habara told the assembled clan representatives that the resurrection technique remained unstable, consumed two lives per person, and required further refinement.
• Jiraiya asked whether the Fourth Hokage could be resurrected, and Habara explained that the Reaper Death Seal first had to be broken.
• Habara invited the Hokage to witness further discussions concerning the younger generations of their clans.

Over three years, Habara strengthened Konoha through selective resurrections and new training and business ventures. The chapter ends with Konoha officially joining Habara’s expanding weapons trade as Jiraiya accepted its role in the changing shinobi world.

• Habara revived Senju Nawaki instead of Hashirama and Tobirama, while Tsunade secretly used White Zetsu tissue in her experiments on Nawaki.
• Habara revived Hizashi Hyuga at Hiashi’s request, and Hizashi helped Hiashi rally the Branch Family against the Main Family.
• Hiashi defeated the Main Family and imposed the Caged Bird Seal on everyone except himself and his heir, including his wife and Hanabi; Neji reunited with his father.
• Habara, Jiraiya, and Shisui arranged for Kakuzu to train Konoha’s young ninja and take them on missions, where they rapidly improved.
• Kakuzu’s missions expanded Habara’s weapons business, and Habara and Jiraiya brought Konoha into the trade as the villages incorporated into Konoha settled into improved lives.

Habara reflected on peace and concluded that unifying the Shinobi World under Konoha was the only workable path, while Jiraiya came to support his approach. After three years of expansion and research, Habara secured Obito’s knowledge of Yin-Yang Release and other techniques, but his work on the Chimera Technique ran into a problem.

• Habara considered three ways to achieve peace and concluded that conquering and unifying the Shinobi World was the most reliable.
• The Land of Grass and the Land of Hot Water gradually accepted Konoha’s rule, and Jiraiya came to believe that action and administration had brought peace.
• After meeting Nohara Rin, Obito thanked Habara and agreed to share everything he had learned from Uchiha Madara.
• Obito asked Habara to help him survive his Cursed Seal and allow him to meet Rin and Kakashi while imprisoned; Habara agreed to both requests.
• Obito handed over his knowledge of Yin-Yang Release, tailed-beast control, and simplified Six Paths Technique, giving Habara much to study.
• Habara continued researching the Chimera Technique and Yin-Yang Release, but encountered a problem improving the Chimera Technique.

Habara struggled to fuse Ice Release and Lava Release into Kekkei Mōra while preparing for Akatsuki’s growing threat. Shisui visited him on the day Naruto’s class received their team assignments, and Habara reflected on how the Uchiha had grown stronger over the past three years.

• Habara failed again to fuse Ice Release and Lava Release, despite having successfully created Lava Release by combining Fire Release and Earth Release.
• Habara learned that Akatsuki had recruited Shennong and that Uchiha Itachi had grown close to Black Zetsu, and he worried that Akatsuki would soon begin collecting tailed beasts.

• Shisui visited Habara on the day Naruto’s class received their team assignments and assured him that his Military Police Force duties were handled.
