Chapter Summaries

Renye turned the Shinobi Alliance’s belief that he was badly wounded into an opening, killing several attackers and escaping in smoke and flames. Afterward, the Kage discussed his warning about Uchiha Madara’s plan, while Shamon suspected Tobirama Senju was helping Renye deceive them into letting Konoha gather the tailed beasts.

• Renye pulled the kunai from his arm and killed the two jonin who rushed him, then used his own kunai to kill the ninja who had ambushed him.
• Renye unleashed the Great Dragon Fire Technique against the ground and trees, creating flames and smoke that concealed his escape.
• The Fourth Mizukage ordered the Shinobi Alliance to search for Renye, while Shimura Danzō prepared to send Anbu if Renye was in danger.
• Tobirama Senju asked the Kage what they thought of Renye’s warning about Uchiha Madara, and the Fourth Mizukage urged them to protect the jinchuriki.
• The Fourth Mizukage concealed Kirigakure’s loss of the Three-Tails and warned Tobirama Senju and Shimura Danzō to guard their village’s jinchuriki.
• Shamon suspected that Renye was Uchiha Renye and that Tobirama Senju was acting along with him to trick the other villages into letting Konoha collect the tailed beasts.

Renye returned from his failed attempt to capture the Six-Tails badly injured, and told Madara Uchiha that the Shinobi Alliance had united to protect the tailed beasts. Madara gave Renye one month to capture a tailed beast, then asked about his dream, and Renye said he only wanted to survive.

• Madara asked Renye whether he had any dreams, and Renye replied that his dream was to survive.

The Kage discussed protecting the Six-Tails Jinchuriki while the Fourth Mizukage concealed the Three-Tails’ disappearance. Tobirama Senju learned that Madara Uchiha had killed the Three-Tails after Renye summoned it, leaving the true requirements of the Moon Eye plan unclear.

• Hashirama explained that Renye’s summoning of the Three-Tails triggered a Tailed Beast Bomb, after which Madara killed it in anger.
• Tobirama concluded that they needed to protect the remaining Tailed Beasts while relying on Renye to hinder Madara.

Renye was ordered by Madara Uchiha to capture the Six-Tails Jinchuriki within twenty days, despite the Shinobi Alliance’s thousands of shinobi guarding it. He traveled to the Land of Water with Tobi, intending to stall for time, while Madara Uchiha’s dwindling strength made him consider intervening himself.

• Madara Uchiha reflected that his power was draining and resolved to capture the Nine-Tails himself if necessary.
• Renye left for Kirigakure with Tobi and admitted he was unsure whether they could capture the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.
• Tobi suggested they discuss a battle plan, but Renye questioned whether capturing a tailed beast required one.

Renye rejected Tobi’s plan to use White Zetsu to distract the Shinobi Alliance, but, unable to think of a better approach, agreed to try it while planning to shift the blame if it failed. Tobi eagerly set out to assemble the White Zetsu army for an attempt to capture the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.

• Tobi proposed sending White Zetsu to distract the Shinobi Alliance while Renye used the chaos to extract the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.
• Renye argued that a mass White Zetsu attack would alert the alliance and make capturing the Jinchuriki harder.
• When Tobi asked for another idea, Renye admitted he had none and agreed to use Tobi’s plan for now.
• Tobi excitedly went underground to gather the White Zetsu army.

Renye let Tobi lead a White Zetsu attack on the Shinobi Alliance as cover for infiltrating the camp and reaching the Six-Tails Jinchuriki. He hoped the plan would fail, but the Alliance’s attention remained fixed on the White Zetsu until a shinobi spotted him.

• Renye dismissed Tobi’s plan and decided to sabotage it subtly while making it look as though it nearly succeeded.
• Tobi returned with a few hundred White Zetsu, and Renye led them toward the Shinobi Alliance camp.
• The White Zetsu appeared throughout the camp, drawing the Kage and Alliance shinobi into battle.
• Under cover of the attack, Renye followed Tobi into the camp and headed toward the Six-Tails Jinchuriki’s tent.
• A shinobi noticed Renye’s passing shadow and shouted, drawing nearby shinobi’s attention.

Uchiha Renye was surrounded by the Five Kage and allied shinobi while trying to capture the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, but Danzō and Shamon deliberately held back to protect themselves and avoid harming him. As more elite Jonin joined the fight, Renye began to struggle and planned to kill some enemies before making a convincing retreat.

• The Shinobi Alliance recognized Uchiha Renye and surrounded him as the Five Kage hurried to the battlefield.
• Danzō urged Renye to escape but refused to attack him, while Shamon stayed close to Danzō for protection.
• The Third Raikage, Fourth Mizukage, and Fourth Tsuchikage attacked Renye, but Renye kicked the Mizukage away and mocked their strength.
• The Fourth Tsuchikage called for the Hokage, Kazekage, and elite Jonin to join the fight, while Danzō told Konoha’s ninja not to interfere.
• Renye fought off the growing crowd of elite Jonin, began to feel strained, and planned to kill some enemies before retreating.

Renye escaped the Shinobi Alliance again, then arranged for Tobi to summon Hanzo of the Salamander as backup. He secretly signaled Danzo to meet him that night, leaving their reunion pending.

• Renye followed Tobi's suggestion and escaped the battle with a smoke bomb, evading the Third Raikage.
• The Fourth Tsuchikage challenged Danzo and Shamon over Konoha and Sunagakure's lack of support, but Shamon persuaded the others that the two leaders had wisely guarded against a diversion.
• Danzo recognized Renye's squad's secret hand signal and went with Utatane Koharu to discuss it privately.
• On a reef, Renye reassured Tobi and sent him to the Land of Rain to fetch Hanzo of the Salamander as an ally.
• Renye rested on the reef and prepared to meet Danzo that night after signaling him to wait in a small woods.

Renye secretly met Shimura Danzō in the woods and told him that Madara Uchiha had ordered him to capture the tailed beasts. Renye reassured Danzō that he could handle Madara and left without revealing his full plan.

• Shamon saw Shimura Danzō leave the camp at night and chose to pretend he had noticed nothing.
• Renye arrived late to meet Danzō, explaining that he had fallen asleep in the afternoon sun.
• Renye told Danzō that Madara Uchiha had ordered him to capture the nine tailed beasts, but withheld what he knew about the Outer Path Demonic Statue and the Ten-Tails.
• Danzō told Renye that Tobirama Senju had returned to Konoha to warn Mito, and asked whether Renye could stop Madara Uchiha.
• Renye assured Danzō that he would handle Madara himself, while Danzō guessed that Renye was delaying because Madara was running out of time.
• Renye left the woods, and Danzō wished him safety.

Renye waited for Tobi and Hanzo of the Salamander to arrive, then delayed their mission by taking them out for sushi. He continued stalling for time while Tobi secretly assembled a large White Zetsu force to attack the Allied Shinobi Forces.

• Renye wondered whether Madara knew about his conversation with Danzo and planned to reveal his intentions after the Allied Shinobi Forces had been dealt with.
• Tobi returned with Hanzo of the Salamander, who had hurried from the Land of Rain to help Renye.
• Renye took Hanzo to a sushi restaurant, where Hanzo could not remove his gas mask, then packed sushi for him to eat in a deserted forest.
• Tobi asked when they would attack, while secretly preparing a thousand White Zetsu for the operation.
• Renye told Tobi to wait for the right timing, intending to stall for another two days, and Tobi admired his supposed strategic planning.

Renye agreed to attack the Shinobi Alliance camp with Hanzo and Tobi, but planned to make the mission fail rather than risk success. As they approached the camp, Renye told Hanzo he could retreat if the battle went badly.

• Hanzo asked Renye when they would attack the Shinobi Alliance, while Renye continued sunbathing and put off the mission.
• After Tobi urged him to act, Renye announced a strike in three days and assigned Tobi to create a distraction with White Zetsu while he and Hanzo infiltrated the camp.
• Renye told Hanzo not to use his weapons or poison mist and gave him a mask and robe to conceal his identity, warning that Amegakure could be attacked if the Five Great Nations discovered Hanzo's involvement.
• Three days later, Renye and Hanzo approached the guarded Shinobi Alliance camp, and Hanzo asked Renye to find a successor for Amegakure if he died.
• Renye told Hanzo not to be pessimistic and said he could retreat if they could not defeat the Alliance.

Renye coordinated with Tobi and Hanzo to draw the Allied Shinobi Forces’ attention and infiltrate their camp to capture the Six-Tails Jinchuriki. After Hanzo was surrounded by three Kage, Renye tried to draw attention to himself, but Shamon and Danzō deliberately ignored him, so he made a noise to expose his position.

• Renye sent Tobi to unleash the White Zetsu army and assigned Hanzo to sneak in from the west while he entered from the east.
• Tobi’s White Zetsu emerged throughout the Allied Shinobi Forces camp, prompting the shinobi to split between fighting them and guarding the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.
• Hanzo entered the camp but was surrounded and attacked by the Fourth Mizukage, the Second Kazekage, and the Tsuchikage.
• Renye used a Flying Thunder God Mark on Danzō to reach the camp’s center and saw Hanzo struggling against the three Kage.
• Shamon noticed Renye but pretended not to see him, while Danzō also avoided looking for him to avoid disrupting Renye’s plan.
• Renye deliberately snapped a tree branch to draw everyone’s attention and prevent the Six-Tails Jinchuriki from being captured.

Renye let the Allied Shinobi Forces discover him and fought them while pretending to serve Madara Uchiha’s Eye of the Moon plan. After rescuing the defeated Hanzo, he escaped as the Three Kage led the pursuit and Konoha and Suna held back.

• Renye appeared before the Allied Shinobi Forces, drawing shinobi from Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure into an attack while Konoha and Sunagakure stayed still.

• Renye shouted threats about the Eye of the Moon plan to maintain his cover and prepared to withdraw as the surrounding shinobi closed in.
• The Raikage defeated Hanzo, and Renye kicked him away, lifted Hanzo onto his shoulder, and broke through the encirclement.
• The Fourth Mizukage urged the Hokage and Tsuchikage to pursue, while Danzō and Shamon sent only a few shinobi after Renye and kept their forces at the rear.

Renye planned to stop pretending to support Madara Uchiha’s plan and confront him after the capture mission failed. On the final day of the deadline, Renye sent Hanzo of the Salamander away and went alone to Madara’s hiding place.

• Renye reassured Hanzo of the Salamander after they escaped the Allied Shinobi Forces, while privately welcoming the failed mission as a chance to delay Madara’s plan.
• Tobi reported their repeated failures and reminded Renye that only one week remained before Madara’s deadline.
• Renye questioned Tobi about his loyalty to Madara and concluded that Tobi had been reporting his actions to Madara.

• Renye and Hanzo of the Salamander made three more failed attempts to infiltrate the camp during the final week.
• On the deadline’s final day, Renye sent Hanzo of the Salamander away and headed alone to Madara Uchiha’s hiding place.

Renye finally confronted Madara about the Moon Eye Plan, arguing that the Uchiha Clan stone tablet might have been tampered with. Madara rejected the possibility and cut Renye off before he could finish explaining.

• Tobi complained to Madara that Renye's glare scared him and suspected Renye was a Shinobi Alliance spy.
• Renye returned from another failed mission, and Madara asked whether opposing his plan was Renye's choice.
• Renye challenged Madara's belief in the Moon Eye Plan and asked whether he had considered that the stone tablet's contents might have been altered.
• Madara angrily insisted the tablet could not have been tampered with, then fell silent when Renye questioned whether ancestral teachings were necessarily correct.
• Renye began to warn Madara that the tablet's contents might be false, but Madara interrupted him.

Renye confronted Madara Uchiha and tried to convince him to abandon the Eye of the Moon plan and return to Konoha. When Madara rejected him, Renye attacked, and Madara broke free of the Demonic Statue’s life-support tubes to face him at full strength.

• Madara Uchiha ended his cooperation with Renye after Renye questioned the Eye of the Moon plan.

• Renye drew his katana and began awakening his Mangekyo Sharingan as he attacked Madara.
• Madara dodged Renye’s strike, countered with a punch, and used Banshō Ten'in.

Renye fought Madara Uchiha in the underground hideout, using Flying Thunder God, fire ninjutsu, and Susanoo but failing to overcome Madara’s Rinnegan. Madara ended the fight and told Renye to return to Konoha, but Renye challenged him by pointing out that his body had reached its limit, provoking Madara’s killing intent.

• Renye used Flying Thunder God to escape Madara Uchiha’s suction, then attacked him with his tachi and fire ninjutsu, which Madara countered or absorbed.
• Renye formed a half-body Susanoo, and Madara answered with his own blue Susanoo; their clash collapsed the underground space and carried the fight to the surface.
• Madara Uchiha ended the battle, dismissed his Susanoo, and ordered Renye to return to Konoha while declaring his plan to bring true peace to the Shinobi World.
• Renye told Madara Uchiha that his body had already reached its limit, and Madara narrowed his eyes and threatened him with killing intent.

Renye challenged Madara Uchiha’s claims of strength and used his reactions to argue that Madara was tiring, but Madara’s Limbo attacks forced him to retreat. Their fight continued as Madara’s repeated use of Limbo began rapidly draining his strength, leaving the outcome dependent on who could endure longer.

• Renye inferred that Madara had stopped fighting because his condition was declining, and teased him about it.
• Madara struck Renye in the abdomen with Limbo: Border Jail, sending him crashing through trees into rubble and breaking ribs.
• Madara told Renye that their power gap made his cleverness useless, but Renye accused him of putting on a calm facade.
• Madara sent another Limbo shadow after Renye, who used the Flying Thunder God Technique to evade attacks he could not perceive.
• Renye stalled until the shadows’ attack interval opened, while Madara realized repeated Limbo attacks were rapidly worsening his condition.

Renye failed to persuade Madara Uchiha to abandon Infinite Tsukuyomi, so he challenged Madara’s understanding of the White Zetsus. Madara realized their numbers exceeded what he had created and asked Renye what he knew.

• Madara Uchiha urged Renye to stop fighting and return to Konoha, but Renye insisted that Madara’s plan had serious flaws.
• Madara defended Infinite Tsukuyomi as a way to end suffering for everyone, rejecting Renye’s offer to put him alone in a happy genjutsu.
• Renye considered the danger of being trapped in Infinite Tsukuyomi and turned to the White Zetsus as a way to challenge Madara’s beliefs.
• Madara said he had made the White Zetsus using Hashirama’s cells and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
• Renye pointed out that the White Zetsus surrounding them greatly outnumbered the ones Madara had created, and Madara asked him to explain the secret connected to Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Renye tried to convince Madara Uchiha that the Infinite Tsukuyomi turned its victims into White Zetsu, but Madara refused to believe him and sent him away. Black Zetsu learned that Renye had uncovered the plan’s flaw and expected Madara to pursue the Tailed Beasts alone as its mother’s revival drew nearer.

• Renye told Madara Uchiha that people trapped by the Infinite Tsukuyomi eventually became White Zetsu, but Madara accused him of lying.
• Renye pointed to the White Zetsu as evidence, yet Madara insisted he would carry out the Moon Eye Plan and verify the truth himself.
