Chapter Summaries

As the great nations’ war devastated the Land of Rain, Hanzo resolved to seek an alliance with Konoha. Danzō left the decision to Renye, while Konoha’s senior ninjas spread ridiculous rumors about Renye and Danzō’s closeness.

Renye met Hanzo of the Salamander to consider an alliance between Konoha and the Hidden Rain Village. Hanzo offered a generous share of the spoils, but Renye demanded that he impress him before time ran out.

• Hanzo presented an alliance document offering Konoha eighty percent of the war reparations, but Renye asked why Konoha should ally with him and gave him the time it took an incense stick to burn to impress him.

Renye tested Hanzo of the Salamander’s reasons for seeking an alliance, then accepted Hidden Rain Village as Konoha’s ally after Hanzo pledged his strength and vowed to drive out the invaders. After learning of the pact, Ōnoki sought to bring Sand Village into the fight against Konoha.

• The Second Raikage vowed to go to the front lines the next day and kill Hanzo.

Renye rushed to the battlefield after learning that the Second Raikage, Third Mizukage, and Third Tsuchikage were attacking Hanzo of the Salamander. He arrived just as Hanzo faced defeat and intercepted the Kage’s attacks, leaving the confrontation poised for a new fight.

• Nara Motokazu reported that Cloud Village had not deployed its Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and Renye ordered him to report any new information.

Renye killed the Third Mizukage while rescuing Hanzo, then returned to camp convinced that his eyes were recovering and that he could defeat Madara. His strange behavior convinced Nara Motokazu that Renye’s mental illness had returned, prompting Tobirama to head to the battlefield to investigate.

• Renye rescued the badly wounded Hanzo, killed the Third Mizukage, and left the battlefield with the Mizukage’s severed head as Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagami Uchiha arrived too late to help.

• Madara sneezed underground and suspected that Tobirama, Renye, or Hashirama was cursing him.

Renye’s allies arrived after he had defeated the Third Mizukage, while Tobirama Senju came to investigate reports that Renye had developed another personality. Tobirama questioned Renye about Madara Uchiha, leaving Renye confused.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagami Uchiha arrived after Renye had defeated the Third Mizukage, and Renye’s allies teased him about finishing the battle before they arrived.

• Renye denied secretly meeting Grandpa Madara, while Tobirama Senju became convinced Madara had caused Renye's past illness and asked whether Renye had noticed anything unusual.

Renye visited Madara Uchiha, who ordered him to capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki from the Cloud camp within three days. Renye accepted while secretly planning to delay collecting the Tailed Beasts until Madara grew frail and he could ruin the Moon Eye Plan.

• Renye learned from Motoharu Nara that Tobirama Senju had returned to the village and went to see Madara Uchiha underground.
• Madara demanded to know why Renye had not brought him the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and Renye explained that the Jinchuriki had stayed inside the Cloud camp.

Renye used White Zetsu to locate Blue B in the Hidden Cloud camp and planned to abduct him under cover of night. He sneaked into Blue B’s tent disguised as Madara Uchiha, where Blue B turned to face the intruder.

• Renye sent White Zetsu to search the Cloud camp and they found Blue B’s tent.

• The Second Raikage ordered the cloud ninja to search for Blue B and informed Ōnoki of his disappearance.

• Renye defeated Blue B without using his right Mangekyo ability and carried him to Madara Uchiha's underground hideout.
• Madara used the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to absorb the Eight-Tails, killing Blue B as one of the statue's eyes opened.

• Renye accepted Madara's weapons solemnly and agreed to capture one more tailed beast, while planning to keep delaying the rest.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others returned from battle and asked Renye about the Flame-Tipped Fan strapped to his back.
• Kagami Uchiha recognized the fan as the Uchiha Clan's weapon and inferred that Renye had been in contact with Madara Uchiha.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi, Utatane Koharu, and the others picked weapons to borrow, while Kagami Uchiha chose the scythe.

The Second Raikage, Ōnoki, and the Temporary Mizukage planned to trap and kill Renye by sealing space-time ninjutsu after suspecting him of taking B. Back at Konoha’s camp, shinobi discussed the war’s likely end and their plans afterward, while Renye said he wanted to go home and sunbathe.

• The Second Raikage blamed Renye for B’s disappearance, and he, Ōnoki, and the Temporary Mizukage met to discuss how to stop him.
• Ōnoki proposed using Iwagakure’s sealing jutsu to block space-time ninjutsu within a range, and the three Kage planned to coordinate an attack on Renye.

• At Konoha’s camp, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others discussed the war’s possible end and what they would do when they returned home.
• Renye said he wanted to go home and soak up the sun, and the others wondered whether he had any other plans.

• Renye activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and mocked the Kage as they prepared to attack him together.
• Ōnoki fired Dust Release at Renye, but the Flame-Tipped Fan absorbed the beam, leaving Ōnoki stunned.

Renye used the Uchiha Gunbai to absorb and reflect Ōnoki’s Dust Release, then fought off the Second Raikage and the Temporary Mizukage as the three Kage coordinated their attacks. As the prolonged battle drained their Chakra while Renye remained seemingly fresh, he taunted them about their dwindling strength.

• Renye absorbed Ōnoki’s Dust Release with the Gunbai and reflected its remaining force as a destructive shockwave, forcing the three Kage to dodge.
• Ōnoki ordered the Second Raikage and the Temporary Mizukage to restrict Renye’s movements and keep him from using the fan.
• Renye slung the Gunbai onto his back, parried the Second Raikage with his tachi, and destroyed the Temporary Mizukage’s water whips with explosive-tag shuriken.
• Ōnoki struck with a focused Dust Release beam, but Renye’s Susanoo skeleton bought him enough time to dodge.
• The three Kage continued their coordinated assault while Renye countered with swordsmanship, Body Flicker, and Fire Style, and interrupted Ōnoki’s preparations with a kunai.
• As the Kage’s Chakra and attack strength waned, Renye appeared unaffected and taunted them about running out of Chakra.

Renye overwhelmed the Second Raikage, the Temporary Mizukage, and Ōnoki after their chakra dwindled, then killed the Raikage and Mizukage as the barrier began to fall. He turned his attention to the panicked Ōnoki and prepared to finish him.

• Renye kicked the Second Raikage into the Temporary Mizukage, knocking both of them down and interrupting the Mizukage's jutsu.
• Ōnoki ordered the Iwagakure sealing ninja to lower the barrier, while Renye charged the injured Raikage.

• Renye sliced off the Second Raikage's head, then killed the Temporary Mizukage when he tried to surrender.
• Renye faced the terrified Ōnoki and said he would kill him rather than wait for New Year's.

Uchiha Renye defeated Ōnoki by stripping away his ability to use the Light-Weight Rock Technique, then killed him after accepting his surrender on behalf of Iwagakure. The other Kages were already dead, leaving Iwagakure’s forces to rely on Renye’s promise that they would be allowed to leave safely.

Renye defeated the Third Mizukage, Ōnoki, and the Second Raikage, prompting the Stone, Cloud, and Mist forces to surrender and ending the Second Great Ninja War. He accepted the surrender and arranged to sell the Mizukage and Raikage corpses, then looked forward to returning to Konoha.

• Renye announced that Ōnoki had asked him to let the Stone Ninja leave, and he allowed them to retrieve the Tsuchikage's remains in exchange for payment.
