Kaguya Otsutsuki’s Quantum Chip-controlled stand-in overwhelmed Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake before Vegapunk restricted her to defensive actions and let clones fight in her place. After finishing his absorption of Kaguya’s memories and Chakra, Vegapunk looked outside and found Naruto, Sasuke, and the others hanging from the God Tree, with only Kaguya still standing.

• Vegapunk and Hancock cleared the ruins of Rōran and built a new Laboratory there in three days.

After a year of technological growth in the Wind Country and Sea Country, Vegapunk tested a new space teleportation system that used a small dimension as a transfer point. The teleportation and its reverse both succeeded, proving the experiment worked.

• The Wind Country developed into savanna terrain as Sunagakure grew into a small city and its ninjas became much stronger.

• A metal puppet ordered Mei Terumi and Pakura to clear the area for the next experiment, and Pakura said Vegapunk had gone to a celebration banquet.
• White Zetsu told Obito that he had encountered other White Zetsu, leaving Obito to wonder whether they came from Konoha or one of Madara Uchiha's contingencies.
• Black Zetsu denied that Madara Uchiha had left other contingencies, but both he and Obito decided to investigate the other White Zetsu.

Vegapunk woke beside Hancock in the Amenominaka Starting Ball Space, where she had made a bridal chamber, and recovered from their night together before they shared breakfast. He learned that White Zetsu had encountered others investigating Rōran, while he reflected that Black Zetsu and Obito had delayed acting against him.

• Hancock used her pure Yang Release Chakra to restore Vegapunk after he woke, and they spent time resting together.
• Hancock took Vegapunk out of the Starting Ball Space and summoned White Zetsu to prepare breakfast.
• Vegapunk praised the White Zetsu maid’s cooking, and she explained that his experiments had made them more humanlike and independent.
• The White Zetsu maid told Vegapunk that they had encountered others underground investigating Rōran.
• Vegapunk noted that Black Zetsu and Obito had finally begun moving, then considered why Obito had avoided confronting the Sea Ninja Village and intended to turn its hatred against Konohagakure.

Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu went to the outskirts of Rouran Base to investigate unfamiliar White Zetsu and Vegapunk’s technology. Black Zetsu feared the discovery could expose the Eye of the Moon Plan, but the chapter left the source of the new White Zetsu unknown.

• Black Zetsu wondered whether the unfamiliar White Zetsu meant a second God Tree or a new Otsutsuki had appeared.
• Obito Uchiha asked about Vegapunk’s role in changes to the Wind Country and the Water Country, and Black Zetsu acknowledged his genius and regretted not eliminating him sooner.

Vegapunk recovered from a huge meal Hancock fed him, then detected intruders inside his Research Base. After identifying Obito and Black Zetsu on the monitoring network, he prepared to have WarGreymon confront them.

• Hancock fed Vegapunk until he had eaten more than three times his body weight, and he used the Quantum Chip to digest the food.

• Vegapunk and Hancock reviewed the Mid-Air Monitoring Network’s footage and saw a phantom figure pass through a wall while a black monster appeared beneath the base.
• Vegapunk identified the intruders as likely Obito and Black Zetsu and decided to send the newly restored WarGreymon to confront them.

Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu invaded Vegapunk’s Research Base, where WarGreymon attacked them under Vegapunk’s watch. Obito’s Kamui was strained by WarGreymon’s spatially disruptive claws, and the battle continued with Obito barely escaping a second strike.

• Vegapunk watched the intruders with Hancock, who asked to test her new power after WarGreymon finished fighting.

• Obito used Wood Style to bind WarGreymon, but WarGreymon spun free and shredded the trees.
• WarGreymon teleported behind Obito and sliced off part of his scalp and mask; Obito counterattacked with his scythe, which barely scratched WarGreymon’s arm.

• Hancock stepped through a spatial distortion before Obito, who sensed Chakra more terrifying than the Nine-Tails.

• Black Zetsu recognized Hancock's aura and realized that Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed inside her.
• Black Zetsu charged at Hancock, who smashed its head with Conqueror's Haki; Black Zetsu reformed, but White Zetsu could not recover.
• Hancock restored Obito Uchiha's Chakra, Pupil Power, and wound, then dismissed his value and said she wanted to warm up.
• Hancock attacked Obito Uchiha with a beam of Chakra that petrified his sleeve and part of the metal wall.

• Obito enlarged the Wood Golem and swung a Chakra blade at Hancock, who caught the blade in her bare hand.

Hancock defeated Obito Uchiha in the desert and brought him, Black Zetsu, and Tobi to Vegapunk. After waking in the Laboratory with his Kamui eye replaced and his restraints removed, Obito was invited to talk with Vegapunk.

• Hancock shattered Obito Uchiha’s armored wooden giant, exhausted his chakra, and knocked him unconscious.
• Hancock captured Black Zetsu and Tobi, then brought all three prisoners to Vegapunk.
• Obito Uchiha woke to find his Kamui eye had become an ordinary eye and his body had been altered.
• Vegapunk released Obito’s restraints and asked whether he would talk.

Obito Uchiha, stripped of his powers and captured, confronted Vegapunk about his past and defended the Eye of the Moon Plan. Vegapunk revealed he had read Obito’s memories and took out Obito’s old Swirl Mask, leaving Obito wondering whether he planned to impersonate Madara Uchiha.

• Obito Uchiha worried that Vegapunk could use his eye and memories to impersonate Madara Uchiha, but admitted he was too weak to stop him.
• Obito asked Vegapunk whether he planned to join the Akatsuki or carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan, and Vegapunk said he had no interest in either.
• Vegapunk revealed that he had learned Obito's deepest wish was to create a world where Rin Nohara existed, and offered him a chance to make up for the past.
• Vegapunk explained that his earlier Parallel World journey had been triggered accidentally by the Dragon Vein, so he planned to test independent travel before attempting it himself.
• Vegapunk chose Obito as his test subject because Kamui could help protect him during travel, and he did not want to risk Hancock or spend resources creating a suitable clone.
• Vegapunk presented the experiment as a chance to travel back through time, and Obito begged to become experimental subject Unit 1.

Vegapunk strengthened Obito Uchiha with restored abilities and new powers while secretly making his Nanomachines an irreversible control measure. Obito agreed to retrieve his other Mangekyō Sharingan from Kakashi, and Vegapunk decided to accompany him to Konohagakure.

• Vegapunk used Nanomachines to monitor and control Obito Uchiha, secretly replacing part of his brain with them.
• Vegapunk transformed Obito Uchiha with Tobi’s material, restoring his Kamui Sharingan and granting him Wood Release, an Inferior Sage Body, and Sage Mode.

He revealed that the Alliance intended to target Kakashi’s Mangekyō Sharingan and eventually the Fire Country, while suspecting the Fire, Lightning, and Earth countries were drawing closer together.

• Vegapunk confidently said the Third Hokage would not dare harm him, while Hancock promised to protect him and Obito Uchiha considered whether Danzo might still act against him.
• Mei Terumi worried that Konohagakure might resort to covert tactics, and Vegapunk said the Alliance planned to take Kakashi’s Mangekyō Sharingan and later target the Fire Country.
• Vegapunk explained that the Fire, Lightning, and Earth countries appeared to share an understanding, partly because the Sea Country Alliance’s expansion had hurt the Lightning Country’s maritime trade and economy.
• Mei Terumi questioned whether the Alliance needed to target the Fire Country, and Vegapunk warned that the three nations might cooperate against the Alliance.
• Mei Terumi remained confident that Sea Ninja Village could contend with the continent’s forces, citing its thousand-plus Jonin-level experts and tens of thousands of Chunin-level fighters.

Vegapunk prepared to visit Konohagakure as Konoha’s leaders debated how to respond to the growing power of Sea Ninja Village and Sunagakure. Hiruzen rejected Danzo’s proposal to target Vegapunk, warning that it would leave Konoha isolated against the world.

• Mei Terumi worried that Vegapunk’s visit to Konohagakure would be dangerous, but Hancock insisted she would protect him.
