Chapter Summaries

Vegapunk tested Pakura’s Nano Magnetic Field Device and helped her combine Magnetic Release with Scorch Release into a devastating attack. The test impressed Pakura, but Vegapunk dismissed its destructive power and said he needed even higher temperatures to meet his energy requirements.

• Vegapunk confirmed that Pakura’s Magnetic Field Device used Chakra, lacked the development potential of a Devil Fruit, and gave her Magnetic Release far beyond the Kazekage’s level.
• Pakura realized her new ability could disrupt the Kazekage’s metal manipulation and give her an advantage against Rasa.
• Vegapunk proposed combining Pakura’s Scorch Release and Magnetic Release because the two abilities were compatible.
• Pakura compressed a Scorch Release fireball with a magnetic field and launched it into a metal target, creating a crater over a hundred meters across.
• Vegapunk called the attack’s results mediocre and said he needed Scorch Release temperatures high enough to unlock his energy needs.

Vegapunk sent Pakura to the Wind Country to help seize control of Sunagakure, and she agreed after he promised the village would benefit from his development. Meanwhile, Rasa was panning the Desert for Gold Sand to help Sunagakure recover from its losses.

• Vegapunk ordered Pakura to go to Sand Ninja Village and seize the Kazekage position, while keeping his ability to control her through the Magnetic Field Device hidden.
• Pakura traveled to the Wind Country with Vegapunk and Hancock, who mocked her and warned her not to interfere with Vegapunk's mission.
• Vegapunk told Pakura that Sunagakure could share in the prosperity of Sea Ninja Village if it became his subordinate.
• Pakura agreed to help Vegapunk take control of the Sand Ninja, asking him not to treat them as cannon fodder.
• Rasa led his Kage Guard to a Desert with rich metal deposits and began extracting Gold Sand to help Sunagakure after its defeat treaty.

Rasa encountered Pakura in the Desert and accused her of treachery to conceal the Sand Ninja leadership’s role in betraying her. Pakura attacked with a newly developed Scorch Release technique, leaving Rasa injured and two members of his Kage Guard dead or incapacitated.

• Rasa began mining gold-rich sand, but stopped when he sensed Pakura and two companions approaching.
• Pakura confronted Rasa over sending her to Sea Ninja Village, and Rasa branded her a traitor and tried to execute her.
• Rasa suspected Pakura had lured him to the Desert, while Pakura let him believe the reporting Chunin was her accomplice.
• Pakura launched a fast, powerful Scorch Release fireball that shattered and melted Rasa’s Gold Sand Wall.
• Rasa escaped underground with a scorched hand, while the blast killed one Kage Guard member and severely burned another.

Pakura defeated and killed Rasa after overpowering his Gold Sand with her Magnetic Release. With Rasa dead, Hancock swiftly killed the remaining Kage Guard, and Vegapunk’s group prepared to leave.

• Pakura bombarded Rasa with accelerated Scorch Release attacks, forcing him to unleash Gold Dust Great Burial.
• Pakura seized control of Rasa’s Gold Sand and revealed that her Magnetic Release was more complete and powerful than his ability to control gold.
• Rasa tried to escape, but Pakura trapped him with the Gold Sand and forced him to fight.
• Rasa attacked Pakura with Wind Release, but she blocked it and buried him beneath bloodied Gold Sand, killing him.
• Pakura asked the Kage Guard to stop fighting, but Vegapunk said they would not switch sides, and Hancock killed the three remaining guards.

Pakura, Vegapunk, and Hancock traveled to Sunagakure after Pakura insisted she would handle taking control of the village herself. The sand ninja spotted their fast aircraft approaching, and the chapter ended as it neared the village.

• Vegapunk offered to help Pakura conquer Sunagakure with experimental weapons, but she said she would handle it herself and asked him and Hancock to stay quiet.
• Vegapunk summoned his Small Aircraft, and the three flew from the Water Country to the Wind Country in less than half an hour.
• The chapter described Sunagakure's weakened state after the war, including its severe losses, struggling economy, and surviving ninja taking on many missions.
• A Sunagakure reconnaissance unit spotted the Bright Silver Shuttle approaching and sounded the alarm.

Vegapunk used the flying vehicle’s Atomic Fission Cannon to devastate Sunagakure and break the sand ninja’s will to resist. He prepared to descend and demand their obedience, while warning that he could use the even deadlier Microwave Field if they refused.

• Vegapunk activated the flying vehicle’s Atomic Fission Cannon despite Pakura’s attempt to stop him.
• The beam split Sunagakure across its center, killing or injuring hundreds of sand ninja and leaving the survivors unwilling to fight.
• Vegapunk judged the cannon’s matter-destroying power superior to Dust Release and considered its attack on an Otsutsuki fatal if it struck the head.
• Pakura understood the scale of Vegapunk’s power and was shocked by his coldness toward the enemy village.
• Vegapunk ordered the group to descend and warned that he did not want to test the Microwave Field on the sand ninja.

Pakura descended from Vegapunk’s Flying Vehicle and crushed the Sand Ninja who attacked her with Magnetic Release and Gold Sand. She exposed the Sunagakure higher-ups’ betrayal and demanded that the Sand Ninja choose between following her and dying with them, while the Flying Vehicle’s weapon began glowing again.

• Pakura left the Flying Vehicle and descended toward the Sand Ninja, who recognized her and were urged by their higher-ups to capture her.
• Sand Ninja attacked Pakura with combined ninjutsu, puppets, and sandstorms, but she used Gold Sand to overwhelm their attacks.
• Pakura formed golden spears and killed two Sand Ninja higher-ups who accused her of stealing Magnetic Release.
• Pakura told the Sand Ninja that their higher-ups had betrayed her by sending her to Sea Ninja Village in exchange for peace.
• Pakura demanded that the Sand Ninja follow her or die alongside the higher-ups, and they fell silent as the Flying Vehicle began glowing again.

Pakura took control of Sunagakure after eliminating the leaders who betrayed her, and appointed Dr. Vegapunk an Honorary Elder. After gaining access to the village’s secret techniques and research, Dr. Vegapunk studied them for two days and returned them.

• Pakura declared herself Sunagakure's Acting Kazekage after defeating its upper ranks and learning that Rasa had been killed.
• Chiyo and Ebizo supported Pakura as the Fifth Kazekage, citing the village’s need for a leader who could suppress Shukaku.
• Pakura introduced Dr. Vegapunk as the Sea Country Daimyo’s heir and appointed him Sunagakure’s advisor and Honorary Elder.
• Ebizo accepted Dr. Vegapunk’s appointment after judging the Flying Vehicle’s power and speed to be beyond known ninja technology.
• Dr. Vegapunk gathered Sunagakure’s secret ninjutsu and research materials, studied them for two days, and returned them after mastering their contents.

A returning Sunagakure ninja learned how Vegapunk’s inventions had transformed the village and rushed to volunteer for testing. At the tower, Vegapunk continued developing Chakra-mode ninjutsu while Pakura reflected on how quickly his technology had advanced her training.

• A painted Puppet Master returned to Sunagakure, saw Vegapunk’s tower, and learned that the Fourth Kazekage had been replaced and the village elders were gone.
• A masked ninja told the Puppet Master that Vegapunk’s inventions had won over most Sand Ninjas, including technologies that granted Magnetic Release and improved puppets.
• The Puppet Master hurried off to inspect Vegapunk’s Iron Puppets, while Bai Sha ran to volunteer for a Wind Release Body Flicker Technique test.
• Vegapunk studied a completed fluid model for Chakra modes and considered whether its formulas could produce techniques for different attributes and Kekkei Genkai.
• Pakura recalled that she had mastered Scorch Release and Magnetic Release Body Flicker Techniques in three days using Vegapunk’s Training Pod.

Vegapunk asked Pakura to stay with him so he could test whether she could develop Kekkei Tōta by fusing three Chakra natures, while Hancock asserted her place as his closest companion. He explained that the Wind Country’s 32 billion ryō in funding would help complete his Weather Tower, which he planned to use to control the country’s climate and locate mineral deposits.

• Vegapunk told Pakura to stay with him for an experiment, and Hancock teased him before warning Pakura to serve him properly.
• Pakura reported that the Wind Country had provided 32 billion ryō, enough to cover Sunagakure’s normal operating costs for thirty years.
• Pakura recalled how Vegapunk had replaced the Wind Country’s Daimyo and nobles with Clones and how she had helped eliminate the originals.
• Vegapunk said the funding would help complete the Weather Tower and explained that he intended to use it to control the Wind Country’s climate and search for minerals.
• Vegapunk explained that the tower drew geothermal energy from underground and relied on his meteorological research to influence the country’s weather.

Vegapunk prepared Pakura to fuse Fire, Wind, and Lightning Chakra in the Training Pod to create a Kekkei Tōta. Pakura began the experiment, but the chapter ended before its result was known.

• Vegapunk completed the Training Pod’s calibration and explained his calculations for fusing Pakura’s Fire, Wind, and Lightning Chakra into a light-based Kekkei Tōta.
• Pakura questioned whether the rare Kekkei Tōta could really be created so easily, and Vegapunk assured her that he had carefully prepared for the experiment.
• Pakura entered the Training Pod, and Vegapunk used his magnetic and electrical abilities to activate and control it.
• The Pod heightened Pakura’s mental clarity and Chakra perception, allowing her to begin guiding her Chakra natures into fusion.

Vegapunk tested Pakura’s newly fused Kekkei Tōta and discovered that its multicolored beam was far more lethal to living creatures than it appeared. After a night of experiments, he concluded that its killing power depended on the target’s defenses and Chakra, and Pakura learned which materials could best resist it.

• Pakura emerged exhausted from the Training Pod, and Vegapunk gave her water before taking her to test her Kekkei Tōta.
• Pakura fired a multicolored beam at a metal target, heating it until it glowed and melted, but she was disappointed by the apparent lack of power.
• Vegapunk placed Desert lizards behind a metal wall, and Pakura’s beam killed them despite failing to penetrate the barrier.
• Vegapunk and Pakura tested the beam against different defenses through the night, finding that lead resisted it best, followed by metal, rocks, and soil.
• Vegapunk concluded that stronger Chakra increased resistance and estimated that a jōnin using Earth Release would need a five-meter-thick wall to mostly block the beam.

Vegapunk completed the Weather Tower and prepared its five Chakra energy pools to power experiments that could control Wind Country’s climate. He asked Pakura to fill the pools, but she could not supply water-attribute Chakra, so Vegapunk assigned that task to Hancock.

• Pakura’s Light Release proved to be a deceptive radiation-based Kekkei Tōta that could kill opponents even after they blocked its visible beam.
• After nearly half a year of construction, Vegapunk completed the Weather Tower, whose deep foundation reached magma to harness geothermal energy.
• Vegapunk showed Pakura the five rune-covered Chakra energy pools and asked her to fill them with Chakra.
• Pakura said she could fill the wind, fire, and earth pools, and likely the lightning pool, but not the water pool, so Vegapunk decided to have Hancock handle it.
• Vegapunk explained that he had adapted Chakra Core technology to create giant Chakra-generating hearts that would keep the five energy chambers circulating for more than ten years.

Vegapunk completed the Weather Tower’s Chakra energy system, and it calmed the Wind Country’s gales and brought rain that began transforming Sunagakure. Pakura told him that the Queen of Roran he had been seeking had arrived, leaving Vegapunk eager to meet her and investigate the Dragon Vein.

• Hancock criticized Pakura’s subordinates as they struggled to fill the Weather Tower’s lightning-nature Chakra pool, and Pakura admitted that her estimates had been wrong.
• Vegapunk filled the remaining pool with his Chakra, activating the Tower’s heart and completing its energy system.
• The Weather Tower weakened the Wind Country’s relentless gales, and within days rain began falling across the country.
• Pakura watched rain fall over a greener Sunagakure as Vegapunk explained that the plants and trees would take years to complete the transformation.
• Pakura told Vegapunk that the Queen of Roran had been brought to him, and he became eager to study the Dragon Vein beneath Rōran.

Sara feared that Sunagakure had summoned her to claim Roran’s Dragon Vein, but Pakura introduced her to the young scientist Vegapunk instead. Vegapunk identified Sara as the key to controlling the Dragon Vein and discovered that her power might come from a different energy system than Chakra.

• After Sunagakure’s ninja took Sara from her people, she worried that the village wanted Roran’s Dragon Vein.
• Pakura entered with Vegapunk, whose intense gaze embarrassed and intrigued Sara.
• Pakura identified the boy as Dr. Vegapunk, surprising Sara, who had imagined the famous scientist as an old man.
• Vegapunk examined Sara and noted that she could control the Dragon Vein’s energy despite having little Chakra.
• Vegapunk reasoned that Sara’s energy might belong to an older supernatural system that Chakra had largely displaced.

Vegapunk examined Sara’s connection to the Dragon Vein and planned to use Chakra techniques to reconstruct her lost supernatural system. Meanwhile, Management Robots made Sunagakure’s administration fairer and left Pakura with little to do, while Sara collapsed after exhausting training.

• Vegapunk concluded that Sara’s rare power was a fading remnant of an ancestral supernatural system and became interested in rebuilding it through Chakra.
• Vegapunk considered implanting modified Flying Thunder God and Sealing Techniques into Sara to study their effects, frightening her with his intense interest.
• Hancock accused Sara of stealing Vegapunk’s affection, while Pakura explained that the Management Robots handled administration better than she did.
• Sunagakure’s Management Robots governed impartially, and the village’s Puppet Masters eagerly studied them, prompting Vegapunk to install weapons and a Combat Program to protect one.
• Sara crawled out of the Training Pod drenched in sweat, said she could not continue, and collapsed from exhaustion.

Vegapunk trained Sara for a month, awakening her ability to sense and influence the Earth Veins and revealing her potential as a Formation Master. Sara gained stronger control over the Dragon Vein, but she remained unsure whether she could calm its immense power.

• Vegapunk explained Chakra's attributes and pushed Sara through Space-Time adaptability and perception training.
• Vegapunk avoided specialized training and bodily modifications because he feared damaging Sara's ability to sense the Dragon Vein.
• After a month of training, Sara instinctively sensed Earth Vein paths and learned she could influence terrain, gather Feng Shui, and turn a desert into an oasis.
• Sara realized her ancestors might have formed the Roran Dragon Vein from Earth Vein energy, while Vegapunk hoped to study their techniques.
• Vegapunk asked Sara to calm the Dragon Vein, but she said she could not be sure she could control its immense power.

Vegapunk assessed the immense power of the Dragon Vein beneath Rōran and decided to risk unsealing it, hoping to study its energy and use a nearby uranium deposit to ignite his Nuclear Fusion Reactor. He and Sara reached the buried underground palace and began dismantling the seal.

• Vegapunk measured the Dragon Vein’s energy and found it nearly comparable to the Weather Tower’s, while Sara realized its power could devastate Rōran and much of the Wind Country.
• Vegapunk resolved to unseal the Dragon Vein, driven by his research into its space-and-time properties and his need for an abundant energy source to help him return to the Pirate World.
• Hancock prodded Sara into following Vegapunk, and the three cleared rubble from Rōran’s ruins to reach the underground palace.
• Vegapunk examined the sealing arrays and the Trident-shaped Flying Thunder God Kunai, identified the seal’s nodes, and began severing them.

Vegapunk and Hancock resisted the Infinite Tsukuyomi after Sara’s Dragon Vein sent them to a Parallel World, where a gigantic tree had trapped people in cocoons. They left Sara unconscious and set out to avoid a distant battle while looking for a way back.

• Sara struggled to calm the Dragon Vein as Vegapunk recorded its energy and realized it had disrupted space-time.
• The Dragon Vein’s energy subsided, revealing the enormous Nine Tomoe Red Moon, and the Infinite Tsukuyomi began affecting Vegapunk.
• Vegapunk’s Quantum Chip and electromagnetic abilities blocked the Genjutsu, while Hancock broke free using her Conqueror’s Haki.
• A giant tree attacked Sara and the others with branches, and Hancock’s Captive Arrow turned the branches and cocoons to stone before the tree shattered them.
• Vegapunk decided to leave Sara behind because she could not wake up, then sensed a distant battle and chose to avoid it.

Vegapunk exploited the Infinite Tsukuyomi to synchronize with the minds of people across the Ninja World, gathering their knowledge and immense mental power. He left the dream world empowered, with the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan still overhead and the Otsutsuki Clan’s knowledge as his next possible target.

• After the God Tree lifted Sara, Vegapunk became curious about the Infinite Tsukuyomi and decided to use it to access human knowledge.
• Vegapunk analyzed the Genjutsu and chose Sara as an opening, awakening her memories of traveling through the Dragon Vein.
• Vegapunk drew Sara’s mind into his own and began breaking the dreams of ordinary people to gather their mental power.
• As Vegapunk’s strength grew, he shattered more dreams, including those of powerful ninjas, while his Quantum Chip absorbed their knowledge and began upgrading.
• Vegapunk collapsed the dream world and realized the Infinite Tsukuyomi could no longer affect him, though his gathered mental power would only last while the Genjutsu continued.
• Vegapunk estimated that he had recorded nearly all the Ninja World’s knowledge and wondered what he could learn from the Otsutsuki Clan.
