Chapter Summaries

Ningyuan tested the Ning Organization’s advanced weapons on the Nine-Tails while the other Tailed Beasts watched, escalating from rockets to anti-armor shells and armor-piercing rounds. The Nine-Tails attacked Ningyuan, and he ordered a ton of napalm bombs to see what could damage him.

• Ningyuan had the AN-06 rocket launchers fire a full salvo at the Nine-Tails, blasting craters into his body and injuring his leg.
• Ningyuan ordered anti-armor rockets fired, and the shaped-charge warheads pierced through the Nine-Tails as the other Jinchuriki and Isobu watched.
• Kushina questioned the harsh treatment, but Ningyuan continued attacking the Nine-Tails to deter the other Tailed Beasts.
• The Nine-Tails activated Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, but Ningyuan ordered self-propelled howitzers to fire tungsten-core armor-piercing rounds that pierced him again.
• The Nine-Tails sensed goodwill from Ningyuan, suspected his senses had been manipulated, and lashed his extended tail toward him.
• Ningyuan stood his ground and ordered one ton of napalm bombs brought to the firing range.

Ningyuan used successive weapons to test the Nine-Tails, then negotiated a contract that granted it a wilderness territory in exchange for protecting Gui Ning’s citizens and surrendering half a tail. The Nine-Tails signed and gained official recognition and freedom, unaware that its remote mountain would later become a major tourist attraction.

• Ningyuan severed the Nine-Tails’ golden Chakra, identified it as Yang Release, and used an unseen force to pin the beast down while napalm bombs burned it.
• Ningyuan assessed how the four attacks had harmed the Nine-Tails and warned it that Gui Ning had large stocks of weapons.
• Ningyuan offered the Nine-Tails a wilderness territory if it agreed not to harm Gui Ning’s citizens, help rescue them, and leave a tail as security for a contract.
• The Nine-Tails bargained down the required sacrifice to half a tail, endured Ningyuan’s soul-piercing technique, and signed the agreement.
• The Nine-Tails understood that Gui Ning’s recognition would protect its freedom and accepted its obligations; ten years later, Fox Head Mountain had become a popular scenic attraction.

Three years after founding Gui Ning, Ningyuan’s rule had transformed the former nations, while the people whose original destinies had been altered settled into new lives. After learning that Lu Zhou had completed the Wen Tian Yi Hao launch vehicle, Ningyuan ordered its recognition and military transfer, then visited the growing Divine Tree and considered his preparations for Kaguya’s resurrection.

• Gui Ning’s roads, schools, hospitals, and public services expanded, and deaths from hunger and cold fell almost to zero as support for Ningyuan grew.
• Might Guy, Nohara Rin, Uchiha Obito, and Kakashi pursued new paths under the Re-education Policy and Gui Ning’s institutions, while Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Fugaku remained imprisoned for their roles in the Uchiha Clan’s rebellion.
• Mei Terumi told Ningyuan that Lu Zhou’s team had completed Wen Tian Yi Hao, a launch vehicle developed with sealing, barrier, and weight-altering techniques.
• Ningyuan ordered a commendation conference for the Wen Tian Yi Hao scientists and instructed the Science and Technology Committee to send its technical materials to the Military Science and Technology Committee.
• Ningyuan traveled to Loulan, where Black Zetsu reported that the Divine Tree had grown another twenty centimeters and was two years from reaching nine meters.
• Ningyuan planned to use the next two years to develop nuclear bombs, hoping that missiles and nuclear weapons would persuade Kaguya to accept the power of technology.

Ningyuan fused the Nine Tailed Beasts' Chakra into the Divine Tree, which grew into a massive tree and revealed a possible path to drawing energy from the sun. Black Zetsu used the tree to revive Otsutsuki Kaguya, who emerged in Loulan and questioned how powerful ninja Chakra had become.

• Ningyuan fused the Chakra of the One-Tails through the Nine-Tails into the Divine Tree, causing it to grow to 336 meters and sprout nine branches.
• Ningyuan realized the Divine Tree absorbed energy from both the planet and the sun, and considered solar energy as a future source for cultivation.
• Black Zetsu touched the Divine Tree and poured a vast, moonlike energy into it.
• The Divine Tree contracted and vanished, leaving Otsutsuki Kaguya revived in its place.
• Black Zetsu clung to Otsutsuki Kaguya, who swept him into her sleeve and asked whether ninja Chakra had grown powerful after a thousand years.

Ningyuan tried to persuade Otsutsuki Kaguya that they could work together against enemies from the stars, but she distrusted his reasoning and attacked. He sent Minato and the others away, leaving himself to face Kaguya alone.

• Minato took the group to the Country of Roran, while Ningyuan stayed behind to fight Kaguya.

Ningyuan fought Kaguya across her dimensional spaces, countering her attacks with a wide range of techniques and exploiting her poor combat instincts. After realizing how young and talented he was, Kaguya resolved to get serious, but Ningyuan ended the chapter by announcing that he would teach her how to fight.

• Kaguya attacked Ningyuan with repulsion, hardened hair, and Rabbit Hair Needles, but he countered her attacks with a shockwave, a high-frequency sword, and the Golden Light Divine Curse.
• Kaguya drew Ningyuan into Gravity Space, where he used the Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique to move easily despite the fortyfold gravity, then dismissed her threat to target his allies.

• Kaguya escaped into the Land of Ice and Snow, but Ningyuan summoned a massive ice dragon and reached her there.
• Kaguya recognized Ningyuan's many techniques and resolved to show him the Otsutsuki Clan's power, then attacked the ice dragon with Rabbit Hair Needles.
• Ningyuan called out Rabbit Hair Needles himself and said he would teach Kaguya how to use the technique.

Ningyuan demonstrated how Kaguya could improve her combat skills, then uncovered her plan to deceive the Divine Faction and protect humanity from its purge. Kaguya broke down in grief, and Ningyuan caught her as she faltered in the air.

• Kaguya told Ningyuan that the Otsutsuki Clan had hundreds of members at least as strong as her, and explained its ranks and Divine Tree operations.
• Kaguya revealed that she was a faith-based Rabbit Goddess, described the Otsutsuki Masters and their God, and taught Ningyuan how faith could create divine intent and power.
• Kaguya passed the cultivation method to Ningyuan and explained that gods could share a faith, though only one could reach its end.
• Ningyuan considered possible divine domains, concluded that Order supported them all, and told Kaguya he had chosen it.

• Ningyuan emerged from Loulan City holding Kaguya’s hand and introduced her as a new member of the Ning Organization.
• Ningyuan arranged a quiet residence for Kaguya in Mingchuan Town and assigned her to record Otsutsuki techniques and compile ninja-world history.
• Ningyuan studied Kaguya’s records and concluded that the Nine Tailed Beasts held the Path of Nature, while the time attribute of Origin Chakra might remain in Loulan’s Dragon Vein.
• Ningyuan identified the time, space, elemental, and Path of Nature components of a Chakra fruit and realized he could potentially create a weakened version.
• Ningyuan connected his Phoenix Heavenly Technique and Golden Light Divine Curse to the Otsutsuki records, then fused them through the system.
• The fusion produced a new pink, unnamed skill that absorbed solar and natural energy and merged them with Chakra to generate a new energy.

Ningyuan fused the Phoenix Heavenly Technique and Golden Light Divine Curse into a new cultivation method, discovering that its energy could control matter, souls, space, and life with godlike ease. After naming the method the Tai Heng True Scripture, he began considering how to travel to other worlds.

• Ningyuan tested the new black energy and found that it greatly accelerated his Mana growth while enhancing his existing techniques and making space-time abilities nearly effortless.
• Ningyuan discovered that the energy let him fly, pass through earth and water, create life, accelerate plant growth, summon weather, and form objects from nothing.

• Ningyuan explored his soul, found the system, and learned that Mother Earth gave transmigrators Golden Fingers and that faith could link beings across worlds.
