Chapter Summaries

Vegapunk’s group captured Black Zetsu, absorbed the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and traveled to Konoha, where Hancock extracted the Nine-Tails from Kushina Uzumaki. They left Kushina unconscious but alive, with the Nine-Tails sealed away.

• Hancock caught Black Zetsu hiding beneath Madara Uchiha’s corpse, and Vegapunk stored Madara’s body and absorbed the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path’s Chakra.
• Kushina complained to Rin Nohara that the Third Hokage would not let her join the battlefield, then sensed the terrifying Chakra of Vegapunk’s group entering the izakaya.
• Vegapunk’s group arrived, and the Blond Boy knocked Rin unconscious while Obito Uchiha restrained the Konoha Ninja with Wood Style.
• Hancock transported Kushina and the others into Amenominaka’s Gravity Space, where she pinned Kushina down and extracted the Nine-Tails into a sealed Tailed Beast Ball.
• Hancock tossed the unconscious Kushina back out of the space after Vegapunk told her not to take Kushina as a maid.

Vegapunk's group attacked Iwagakure to find its Jinchuriki, overpowering Ōnoki and wrecking much of the village. As Obito's Susanoo advanced, the Five-Tails arrived and knocked it back, preparing to fire a blast.

• Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki killed the Iwagakure guards at the gate, and Hancock petrified dozens of Ninja before capturing Ōnoki and draining his Chakra.
• Obito Uchiha used Genjutsu on Ōnoki and learned that the Five-Tails Jinchuriki lived in a nearby valley while the Four-Tails Jinchuriki stayed at a temple in Earth Country.
• Obito Uchiha wiped out Iwagakure reinforcements with Sage Mode Wood Style and advanced through the village inside a Wood Golem clad in Susanoo armor.
• Iwagakure Ninja used combined Earth Release techniques to attack Obito, but his forest restrained their earthen mountains and his Kamui Sword Slash split their rock golem and carved through the village.
• The Five-Tails charged into the Susanoo, knocked it dozens of meters away, and formed a black sphere before firing a flash of light.

Vegapunk collected the remaining Tailed Beasts and forced Kaguya Otsutsuki to undergo an experiment fusing her with the other world's Kaguya. The fusion succeeded and greatly enhanced her Chakra, but it remained unclear which consciousness had awakened.

• Obito captured the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, while Vegapunk and Hancock subdued Son Goku and his Jinchuriki.
• Kaguya Otsutsuki defeated the A-B Brothers, killed the Fourth Raikage, and took Killer B through Yomotsu Hirasaka.
• Obito left the ruined Kirigakure with two Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, while Vegapunk learned where Shukaku was sealed after confronting Rasa.
• Vegapunk paralyzed Kaguya Otsutsuki when she resisted the experiment and threatened to erase her memories if she rebelled again.
• Hancock released Black Zetsu, which possessed Kaguya Otsutsuki and transformed her into a black sphere as the two Kaguya counterparts fused.
• The sphere cracked open, and the awakened Kaguya Otsutsuki marveled at her transformed Chakra and increased strength.

Vegapunk began turning Infinite Tsukuyomi into a Chakra-powered Second World, using the Moon Otsutsuki and their Giant Tenseigan to build a prototype network. The network worked within the moon’s enclosed world, though transmitting Chakra across space remained unsolved, and Vegapunk retained administrator control over its users.

• Kaguya Otsutsuki explained that she had fused with and absorbed her counterpart, then transferred nearly half her Chakra to Hancock, who said her body was already at its limit and refused to become an Otsutsuki.
• Vegapunk chose to research Infinite Tsukuyomi as a Second World, and he and his group traveled to the moon to begin the work.
• Vegapunk subdued the feuding Moon Otsutsuki with improved Caged Bird Seals and made them work as laboratory assistants and attendants.
• Vegapunk used a Giant Tenseigan as an amplifier and completed a shared dream world, but failed to develop technology for transmitting Chakra across space.
• Vegapunk launched a trial Infinite Tsukuyomi network inside the moon, where the Moon Otsutsuki shared Chakra and downloaded one another’s Ninjutsu through the Giant Tenseigan.
• Vegapunk retained administrator privileges that let him ban users and potentially block their access to networked Ninjutsu.

Vegapunk struggled to find a way to connect the Ninja World to the Chakra Network until Hancock’s new sealing formula gave him an idea. He developed a simple technique to let people interface with the network and planned to teach it through the Infinite Tsukuyomi Genjutsu.

• Vegapunk told Hancock that he could not find a Chakra transmission channel for the Ninja World because its people lacked Otsutsuki blood and a connection to the Tenseigan.
• Vegapunk and Hancock toured the Moon Small World and explored the Illusory World in the Chakra Network Second World.
• Hancock showed Vegapunk a sealing formula that automatically output her Yang Release Chakra, and Vegapunk realized sealing techniques could transmit Chakra to the network.
• Vegapunk improved the idea into a simple Sealing Technique that nearly anyone with Chakra could learn.
• Vegapunk planned to teach the technique by adding lessons to the Infinite Tsukuyomi Genjutsu, expecting early users to attract others to the Chakra Network.

Obito Uchiha urged the young Obito to seize an approaching opportunity, while Obito asked Vegapunk to put the young Uchiha through a customized illusion based on his own memories. Under the brilliant moonlight, young Obito relived his past and witnessed Rin’s death, but his grief was dulled by a sense that the events were unreal.

• Rin Nohara noticed young Obito’s strange behavior, and he left their outing after his wrist mark hurt.
• At a training ground, the Masked Man admitted he had attacked Kushina Uzumaki and warned Obito that a world-changing event would happen the following night.
• Obito asked Vegapunk to create a customized Limited Tsukuyomi for young Obito using his memories, hoping it would awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Young Obito stepped outside beneath the unusually bright moonlight and lost consciousness as its light intensified.
• Young Obito relived being crushed at Kannabi Bridge, receiving Madara Uchiha’s help, and rushing to save Rin and Kakashi.
• Young Obito saw Rin die before his eyes, but his Sharingan settled at three tomoe as his grief faded under the sense that the scene was not real.

Obito Uchiha learned that the moon had cast Infinite Tsukuyomi across the world, where he endured a personalized illusion and trained with the Masked Man. After everyone awoke, the dream’s contrast with reality drove people across Konohagakure into despair and violence, and Yu Uchiha awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

• Obito Uchiha awakened a Three-Tomoe Sharingan after reliving a nightmare in Infinite Tsukuyomi, then learned from the Masked Man that he had spent years training inside the illusion.
• Obito Uchiha awoke to find Infinite Tsukuyomi ended and heard that people across the Ninja World had learned Sealing Techniques in the Chakra Network world.
• Obito Uchiha saw grieving and enraged people causing chaos in Konohagakure, including Ninja fighting within the Uchiha compound.
• The Masked Man explained that returning from a happy dream could make reality more painful, and Obito Uchiha realized the impact such a loss could have.
• Yu Uchiha erupted with Chakra and awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan after experiencing a beautiful dream.

Vegapunk explained that the Infinite Tsukuyomi had left Konoha deeply traumatized, but argued that the Chakra Network needed to continue because many people depended on returning to its dream world. Minato Namikaze confronted Vegapunk’s group and, after learning Vegapunk had created the network, demanded to know his purpose.

• The Infinite Tsukuyomi’s aftermath left Konoha’s people distraught and its authorities struggling to restore order.
• Vegapunk, Hancock, Obito Uchiha, and Kaguya Otsutsuki walked through Konoha and discussed how the Chakra Network might help people cope with their trauma.
• Vegapank said most Konoha Ninja and many villagers had marked themselves with Sealing Arrays to enter the Chakra Network, and warned that shutting it down would worsen the crisis.
• Minato Namikaze, Kakashi Hatake, and Young Obito recognized Vegapunk’s group and invited them to a secluded Training Ground for a discussion.
• Minato Namikaze asked about the Tailed Beasts and the previous night’s Genjutsu, and Vegapunk admitted that he had created the Infinite Tsukuyomi Chakra Network.
• Minato Namikaze asked Vegapunk what he intended to accomplish with the terrifying Genjutsu.

Vegapunk argued with Minato Namikaze about the Chakra Network Genjutsu and the violence of the Ninja World, then left Minato, Kushina, and Young Obito petrified after Hancock defeated them. Vegapunk returned to the moon to adjust the Sealing Array, and the next Infinite Tsukuyomi connected everyone to the same shared world.

• Vegapunk told Minato Namikaze that the Ninja World's cruelty, not the Genjutsu, was the truly frightening thing, and Minato challenged him to a fight.
• Young Obito Uchiha chose Minato's side, while the older Obito Uchiha told him that their conflicting beliefs could only be settled with force.
• Hancock overwhelmed Minato and Young Obito with her Chakra, then petrified them and the arriving Kushina Uzumaki with the Love-Love Fruit.
• Vegapunk asked Hancock to make the petrification temporary, and she set the three to recover in about a dozen days.
• Kakashi Hatake alerted the Third Hokage, who found the three petrified and preserved their statues before Vegapunk's group left for the moon.
• Vegapunk adjusted the Sealing Array, and the second Infinite Tsukuyomi placed everyone who entered it in the same shared world.

Vegapunk introduced the Chakra Network Space, where Ninja could train, research, and exchange contributions for powerful techniques, and its users rapidly grew stronger. The Third Hokage decided Konoha had to lift its ban and let its Ninja enter, or risk falling behind the rest of the world.

• A Konoha Ninja found the Chakra Network Space crowded with Ninja who had defied orders and entered using Sealing Arrays.
• Vegapunk appeared and gave the gathered Ninja information about the space’s Dream World, communication, training, and research functions, along with its contribution-based Ninjutsu exchange.
• Kakashi Hatake and other Ninja eagerly explored the techniques and training available, while Vegapunk welcomed the competition as a way to advance research.
• The next day, Kakashi demonstrated that one night in the space had let him learn Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Raikiri, and Chidori Stream, astonishing the Third Hokage.
• The Third Hokage decided to lift Konoha’s ban because Ninja across the world could enter the network and Konoha would fall behind if its people were kept out.

The Chakra Network Space reshaped the Ninja World, strengthening ninja while weakening villages as missions and academy enrollment fell and Rogue Ninja increased. In Rain Country, Nagato recovered from his severe injuries with Konan’s help before a mysterious intruder restrained him, healed his wounds, and declared that he had important business with him.

• The Chakra Network Space spread advanced techniques, boosting ninja strength while ordinary people needed fewer missions and ninja became less dependent on their villages.
• Nagato and Konan hid in a mountain cave after escaping Hanzo the Salamander’s pursuit during the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and Nagato began recovering from his grave injuries.
• Konan explained that Hanzo was distracted by unrest and mass defections in Amegakure, while Nagato vowed to avenge Akatsuki and Yahiko.
• Nagato and Konan used the Chakra Network Space to develop their abilities, though Nagato’s injuries still kept him from wielding his full strength.
• A mysterious ninja bypassed Konan’s defenses, restrained Nagato with vines that drained his Chakra, and healed him while assuring Konan that Nagato was safe.

Tobi brought Nagato and Konan to Vegapunk’s city, where they saw Tsunade’s addiction to the Dream World Space and learned that Vegapunk had cast the Genjutsu covering the Ninja World. Vegapunk offered to restore Nagato if he worked for him, but Nagato first demanded to know what Vegapunk wanted.

• Tobi treated Nagato, offered to take him to a boss who could restore his legs, and led Nagato and Konan through a device-made passage to a city outside the Ninja World.
• Nagato recognized the city’s extraordinary Chakra Source, and he and Konan encountered Orochimaru and Kato Shizune there.
• Nagato and Konan saw Tsunade beg Vegapunk to let her return to the Dream World Space, and Tobi explained how its users could become detached from reality.
• Vegapunk sent Tsunade away, welcomed Nagato and Konan, and offered to restore Nagato’s health in exchange for his service.
• Nagato asked what Vegapunk wanted and accused him of casting the Genjutsu that covered the Ninja World; Vegapunk confirmed that he and his team had created it.

Vegapunk healed Nagato and handed him authority over the Chakra Illusion Network so he could regulate the Ninja World after Vegapunk left. Nagato pledged to bring peace, but Vegapunk warned that conflict and war could never be eradicated completely.

• Vegapunk offered Nagato control of the Chakra Illusion Network, and Konan accepted on Nagato’s behalf after Vegapunk promised to heal him.
• Vegapunk restored Nagato’s health, gave him a Sage Body, and enabled him to connect to the Chakra Network.
• Nagato began studying the network’s systems and learned that its authority would let him draw on its resources and regulate the Ninja World.
• Vegapunk told Nagato he would leave in about two days and entrust the network to him.
• Nagato vowed to bring peace, but Vegapunk explained that conflict and war were inevitable parts of humanity’s development.

Vegapunk explained to Nagato why the Ninja World’s frequent wars were abnormal and argued that peace could last for centuries, while Nagato focused on maintaining it during his lifetime. On the moon, a despairing Tsunade found Hancock’s liquor, got drunk, and insulted Vegapunk before Hancock’s anger sobered her up.

• Vegapunk told Nagato that class solidification could eventually cause turmoil, but the Ninja World’s repeated wars were far too frequent and likely reflected its poor development.
• Nagato said he only needed to preserve peace during his lifetime to fulfill his and his friends’ wishes, while Vegapunk privately chose not to extend Nagato’s lifespan.
• Tsunade, grieving her dead family and loved ones, searched for alcohol on the moon and found its scent coming from Hancock’s villa.
• Hancock let Tsunade drink from her liquor collection after Tsunade claimed alcohol would improve her energy and research inspiration.
• After Tsunade drank several bottles and passed out, Hancock confronted her, and Tsunade drunkenly blamed Vegapunk for her difficulties with the Chakra Network.
• Hancock’s Chakra aura sobered Tsunade, who realized she had insulted Vegapunk in front of Hancock.

Hancock used Infinite Tsukuyomi to make Tsunade devoted to Vegapunk, and Tsunade stayed on the moon to continue her research. After returning to his Ninja World, Vegapunk launched the Chakra Network Genjutsu Space, which spread rapidly as ninjas and civilians prepared to use it.

• Hancock trapped Tsunade in a genjutsu spanning several hundred years, rewrote its scripts around Vegapunk, and made her a devoted maid.
• Vegapunk learned that Tsunade had retained and improved her Medical Ninjutsu, accepted her as a maid, and warned Hancock not to misuse Infinite Tsukuyomi.
• Tsunade gave up drinking and gambling, overcame her Hemophobia, and resumed medical research while living with Vegapunk and Hancock on the moon.
• Vegapunk left Nagato in charge of the Chakra Illusion Network and entrusted Orochimaru, Tsunade, Sasori of the Red Sand, and other researchers with work on the moon.
• Vegapunk returned to his Ninja World and began promoting the Chakra Network Genjutsu Space, offering access through Sealing Arrays or public buildings.
• After more than a week of promotion, most ninjas had carved Sealing Arrays onto themselves and awaited the network's launch.

Vegapunk activated the Chakra Illusion Network, transforming communication, training, and technology across the Ninja World. After half a year of rapid development, he prepared to use the Dragon Vein and stored Rinnegan and Tenseigan Chakra to attempt a return to the Pirate World.

• Vegapunk activated the Chakra Illusion Network and introduced its expanded virtual world, combat training, and permission-controlled Ninjutsu functions to the Ninja World.
• The villages used the network to exchange knowledge and conduct combat exercises, and within half a year the Ninja World developed widespread modern transport, communications, and Chakra teleportation arrays.
• Vegapunk told Queen Sara that her Dragon Vein duties were no longer needed except during future experiments, and she rejoiced at being able to spend more time online.
• Vegapunk checked the Dragon Vein and calculated that combining its power with stored Rinnegan and Tenseigan Chakra gave him an over eighty percent chance of returning to the Pirate World.
• Vegapunk noted that Dragon Vein energy was difficult to replenish and that a failed crossing could be fatal, so he planned to rely on the genuine Dragon Vein rather than its violent imitation.

Vegapunk, Hancock, and Nico Robin returned from the Ninja World to Dream Star, where Vegapunk restored its Quantum Brain and found his Devil Fruit-user subjects still alive. He brainwashed them to develop their powers, then faced Kozuki Toki, who asked about her daughter, Kozuki Hiyori.

• Vegapunk, Hancock, and Nico Robin crossed the space-time gate and arrived at Dream Star, leaving the Chakra Illusion Network with Kaguya Otsutsuki under a ten-year bomb threat.
• Hancock returned the Quantum Brain to its place, and Vegapunk confirmed that Dream Star's systems and stored experimental subjects had survived his absence.
• Vegapunk brainwashed Wapol with an enhanced Kotoamatsukami and ordered him to train his Munch-Munch Fruit ability.
• Vegapunk brainwashed other Devil Fruit users and assigned them to develop their powers.
• Vegapunk awakened Kozuki Toki and placed her under his control, but she remained worried about her daughter, Kozuki Hiyori, and asked Vegapunk how she was doing.

Vegapunk learned that Kozuki Hiyori’s whereabouts were unknown, then reconnected with Stussy and confirmed that Umbrella Corporation had remained deeply embedded across the Pirate World. He set out to test the World Government while Kozuki Toki demonstrated that her Time-Time Fruit could turn grape juice directly into wine.

• Vegapunk told Kozuki Toki he did not know where Kozuki Hiyori was, but assured her that Hiyori was not dead.
• Vegapunk contacted Stussy, who reported that Umbrella Corporation had stayed stable and built ties throughout the Pirate World.
• Vegapunk concluded that about a year remained before the story began and considered testing the World Government before making a larger move.
• Vegapunk sailed with Kozuki Toki and discovered that she could use her Devil Fruit ability to age grape juice directly into wine.

Vegapunk, Hancock, and Kozuki Toki launched a triple attack on the Red Line, combining a massive meteor, a Continental Shelf Oscillator, and a timed bomb. The World Government countered all three strikes with hidden defenses and Devil Fruit users, leaving Vegapunk to reconsider how to challenge its deep reserves.

• Vegapunk ordered Kozuki Toki to send his bomb two hours into the future beneath the Red Line, while Hancock summoned a massive meteor and Vegapunk activated a hidden Continental Shelf Oscillator.
• Kozuki Toki sent the bomb away, and Vegapunk, Hancock, and their companions escaped through Hancock's Space Tunnel as the Red Line began collapsing.
• A beam from Mary Geoise shattered the meteor, a mysterious force reversed its falling fragments, and an earth-yellow glow stabilized the Red Line.
• Vegapunk later saw a CP0 agent carrying his bomb, which had been frozen in time, and suspected that Imu had used future sight to uncover the attack.
• The CP0 agent handed the bomb through Blueno's Door-Door Fruit, and Blueno shut it inside another space before it could explode.

Vegapunk returned to Amazon Lily with Hancock, spent two months there, and reunited with Stussy after his long absence. Before leaving, he rewarded Stussy for keeping Umbrella Corporation stable by giving her a modification fluid that would grant her a Sage Body and extend her youth and lifespan.

• Vegapunk took Hancock, Nico Robin, and Kozuki Toki to Amazon Lily, where the islanders enthusiastically welcomed Hancock home.
• Hancock reunited with her sisters Marygold and Sandersonia, threw Granny Nyon out of the palace, and spent two months on the island with Vegapunk and the others.
• Stussy arrived near Amazon Lily and complained that Vegapunk had disappeared for eight or nine years, while Hancock threatened her for disrespecting him.
• Vegapunk asked Hancock to leave so he could speak privately with Stussy and Kozuki Toki, then gave Stussy Perfect Sage Body Modification Fluid as compensation for stabilizing Umbrella Corporation.
• Stussy accepted the fluid, excited that it would grant her a Sage Body, extend her lifespan, and preserve her youth.
