Chapter Summaries

Uchiha Yu met Shrine Maiden Miroku and revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan, prompting her to recognize his strength and ask him to destroy Mōryō. After learning that killing the demon could cost Miroku her life, he questioned whether he should accept the new mission.

• Uchiha Yu explained the Uchiha sage body to Miwa Masayo as the Taiyin Spirit Body, then entered the shrine under genjutsu until Miroku's power broke it.
• Uchiha Yu met Miroku, apologized for disturbing her infant daughter Shion, and asked where Mōryō and Yomi were.
• Miroku warned that Mōryō could only be defeated by someone with power like Uchiha Madara's, so Uchiha Yu revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Miroku recognized the eyes as Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, then used prophecy to see that Uchiha Yu had changed her future and spared her from death.
• Miwa Masayo clarified that Uchiha Yu's eyes were not Eternal Eyes, and Miroku asked him to accept a new commission to destroy Mōryō.
• Uchiha Yu pointed out that Miroku might die if Mōryō was destroyed, but Miroku urged him to act without reservation and promised to arrange his reward.

Miroku explained that Mōryō, Yomi, and the shrine maiden were parts of one lifeform whose thousand-year conflict had grown chaotic, and Uchiha Yu left with Miwa Masayo for the Land of Swamps. They watched Yomi break Mōryō’s seal and lead a Terracotta Warrior army toward the shrine in the Land of Demons.

• Miroku revealed that Yomi was a portion of Mōryō and explained how Mōryō’s madness, Yomi’s independence, and flaws in the shrine maiden’s inheritance had changed their ancient conflict.
• Miroku told Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo that Shion would escape the shrine maiden’s cycle, and Uchiha Yu considered recruiting Miroku but did not accept her surrender.
• Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo flew west toward the Land of Swamps, where they saw clay figures digging trenches and weakening Mōryō’s seal.
• Uchiha Yu waited for the seal to break, and Yomi emerged from the cavern, raised an armored Terracotta Warrior army, and announced his plan to devour the shrine maiden.
• Yomi led the Terracotta Warriors east toward the Land of Demons, and Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo observed that the army marched very slowly.

Uchiha Yu defeated Mōryō and pulled its essence into the Violet Mansion World, ending the threat to the Land of Demons. Miroku reorganized the shrine and pledged the Land of Demons to Yu, but he refused and brought her into a magnificent hall to meet the great being he said would protect them.

• Uchiha Yu used Wood Style to destroy Mōryō’s terracotta army and expose Yomi, while Miwa Masayo struck the emerging clay giant with Sage Art: Pure White Claws.
• Uchiha Yu used Little C to consume Mōryō’s essence, then drew Mōryō into the Violet Mansion World, leaving behind a corrupted forest that became a forbidden region.
• Miroku sensed Mōryō’s defeat, celebrated the end of the crisis, and ordered the shrine to welcome Uchiha Yu while leaving other ninja to Priest Kanzaki Hizuki.
• Miroku rebuked and imprisoned Kanzaki Hizuki for opposing her plans, then appointed Priest Takashima Shigeten chief priest and ordered him to receive foreign ninja.
• Uchiha Yu returned to the shrine with Miwa Masayo, and Miroku pledged herself and the Land of Demons to him.
• Uchiha Yu refused Miroku’s pledge, said a great being would protect the Land of Demons, and transported her to a magnificent hall.

Miko Miroku met the Heavenly Emperor, agreed to give him the Land of Demons’ faith and serve him for a hundred years in exchange for protection and extended life. After receiving divine power and increased potential, she returned to reality as his devoted believer and learned she would manage the Land of Demons for him.

• The Heavenly Emperor confronted Miroku about Mōryō and pressured her into agreeing to hand over the Land of Demons’ faith in exchange for protection.
• Miroku revealed that her lineage redirected faith to a stone hidden in the Land of Shadows, and she gave the Heavenly Emperor the Sealing Jutsu used for the transfer.
• The Heavenly Emperor said protecting the Land of Demons required more than Miroku could currently offer, so Uchiha Yu proposed that she pay with future assets and serve for a hundred years.
• Miroku accepted the arrangement, received a hundred years of lifespan, divine power, and potential development, and was named Lady Yan for a Divine Court Conference six days later.
• After Miroku returned to reality as a clear-minded fanatic, Miwa Masayo scratched her face when she acted coquettishly toward Uchiha Yu.
• Uchiha Yu told Miroku that the Heavenly Emperor wanted her stone and its attached faith, and that she would manage the Land of Demons’ secular and religious affairs for the next hundred years.

Uchiha Yu recruited Miroku to manage the Land of Demons and planned a faith-powered sealing array and Hall of Heroes. When Senju Tobirama agreed to study faith and divine power, Uchiha Yu drew his soul into the Violet Mansion World, where a Pure Land emblem resisted the Golden Core’s light and revealed Otsutsuki Hagoromo.

• Uchiha Yu told Miroku that she would manage the Land of Demons and explained his plan for a faith-powered sealing array and Hall of Heroes.
• Uchiha Yu unearthed a faith-storing stone in the Land of Shadows and presented it to Senju Tobirama as a new research project.
• Senju Tobirama agreed to risk complete dissipation to learn about faith and divine power, then recited the Heavenly Emperor’s honored name with Uchiha Yu.
• Uchiha Yu pulled Senju Tobirama’s soul into the Violet Mansion World, causing his Impure World body to collapse.
• A Pure Land emblem appeared on Senju Tobirama’s soul and tried to drag it away, but the Golden Core’s light weakened it until it burst and revealed Otsutsuki Hagoromo.

Uchiha Yu destroyed the Sage of Six Paths’ hidden monitoring emblem and explained to Senju Tobirama that he could neither return to the Pure Land nor remain in the Heavenly Emperor’s realm without completing two research projects. Tobirama began studying divine power and faith, while Uchiha Yu reconsidered his hostility toward him and chose to help him adapt.

• Uchiha Yu crushed the Sage of Six Paths’ emblem, then fed every remaining fragment and trace of contamination to Little C, eliminating the threat from his spiritual world.
• Senju Tobirama woke in the Heavenly Emperor’s realm, learned that the Sage of Six Paths had planted a monitoring seal in him, and accepted that he could no longer return to the Pure Land.
• Uchiha Yu gave Tobirama the tasks of designing a National Faith-Gathering Array and a Divine-Power Hall of Heroes, allowing him one hundred and eighty days in the realm to complete them.
• Tobirama refused to shout a prayer to the Heavenly Emperor, but his pride and courage moved Uchiha Yu, who reconsidered his plans to torment him and decided to aid him.
• Uchiha Yu guided divine power into Tobirama, enabling him to sense it and then learn that faith was the raw material gods used to create divine power.

The Heavenly Emperor explained why he supported Senju Tobirama and secured his agreement to research divine power in exchange for sharing his findings. Meanwhile, Nagato arrived to aid Konan against an encircling Iwagakure force and confronted its commander, asking whether they knew the Rinnegan.

• The Heavenly Emperor told Senju Tobirama that his wisdom and courage made him a representative of humanity, then agreed to exchange divine power and knowledge for Tobirama’s research.
• Senju Tobirama accepted the agreement, learned that Uchiha Yu was the Heavenly Emperor’s devotee, and entered a fully equipped laboratory that Uchiha Yu created for him.
• Konoha and Sunagakure forces raced toward the Land of Demons while Iwagakure’s march through the Land of Rain was delayed by a conflict with Amegakure.
• Konan used her paper wings and weapons to hold off more than a thousand Iwagakure ninja as they surrounded her and her outnumbered Amegakure comrades.
• Nagato arrived with Amegakure reinforcements, told them to stay back, and flew into the village to face the Iwagakure force.
• Nagato landed before the Iwagakure ninja, showed them his Rinnegan, and asked if they knew what it was.

Nagato annihilated an Iwagakure force of more than a thousand ninja, then learned that Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Konoha planned to unite against Amegakure. He reassured his village that his power could withstand their combined army and declared himself a god compared with Hanzō.

• Nagato destroyed Iwagakure’s legion ninjutsu with Shinra Tensei, then pulled in and killed a group of jonin with Banshō Ten'in and another repulsive blast.
• Konan led the Amegakure ninja in routing the surviving Iwagakure force, killing or capturing most of them while a few escaped.
• Sunagakure’s leaders dismissed reports of Nagato’s strength as false and arranged with Konoha and Iwagakure to deploy a combined force against Amegakure in two days.
• Nagato learned that the three villages planned to send a total of 43,500 ninja, alarming many Amegakure ninja.
• Nagato told his followers that his ninjutsu surpassed Hanzō’s poison and claimed, “Hanzō is only a demigod, but I, Nagato, am a ‘god.’”

Nagato explained to Konan that he called himself a god because the Rinnegan gave him the power of resurrection, then turned his attention to rebuilding Amegakure. In the Land of Demons, Uchiha Yu used sage arts to begin a vast reservoir project for Senju Tobirama’s divine-power sealing array, while Tobirama reconsidered the policies that had shaped Konoha.

• Nagato told Konan that he did not consider himself equal to the Heavenly Emperor, but believed his resurrection technique made him a god.
• Konan accepted Nagato’s claim and worried about whether his body could withstand the coming battle, while the two discussed rebuilding Amegakure.
• Senju Tobirama presented Uchiha Yu with the plans for a national-scale sealing array whose channels would span thousands of kilometers.
• Uchiha Yu used sage arts to carve underground waterways, raise a massive dam, and create a reservoir that would collect rainwater and reduce flooding.
• Watching Uchiha Yu reshape the terrain, Senju Tobirama reconsidered Konoha’s political structure and the consequences of his policies toward the Uchiha and other clans.
• Senju Tobirama recognized that the reservoir and its connected waterways could stabilize irrigation, increase food production, and support the Land of Demons’ growth.

Uchiha Yu used a vast network of treefolk, directed by a modified Mōryō supercomputer, to complete the Land of Demons' construction projects in two days, then collapsed from exhaustion. Senju Tobirama secretly met Tsunade to urge her to help replace Hiruzen Sarutobi, leaving her shocked by the demand.

• Uchiha Yu created tens of thousands of treefolk that built a dam and a 127-kilometer canal in less than an hour, astonishing Senju Tobirama.
• Uchiha Yu visited all 2,231 construction sites in the Land of Demons and deployed hundreds of thousands of treefolk, completing the national construction in forty-eight hours.
• Uchiha Yu explained that the treefolk were controlled through a soil-armor signal system linked to a modified Mōryō supercomputer, which functioned for about fifty to fifty-five hours before collapsing and recovering.
• Uchiha Yu returned to the shrine utterly exhausted and failed to notice that Senju Tobirama had used Flying Thunder God to travel a great distance.
• Senju Tobirama met Tsunade, told her Uchiha Yu's power might rival Senju Hashirama's, and urged her to help end Hiruzen Sarutobi's term and bring in the Fourth Hokage.
• Tsunade was sobered by Senju Tobirama's words but stammered that she did not want to become Hokage.

Tsunade learned that Senju Tobirama wanted Uchiha Shisui to become the Fourth Hokage’s disciple and resolved to help Orochimaru challenge the Third Hokage, while secretly hoping the Heavenly Emperor could resurrect Nawaki and Dan. At the shrine, Uchiha Yu and Tobirama began activating a faith-powered divine statue with Miroku, leaving the ritual underway.

• Senju Tobirama struck Tsunade’s forehead and explained that Uchiha Yu’s power made him Konoha’s greater good, while he wanted Uchiha Shisui to become the Fourth Hokage’s disciple.
• Tsunade decided Orochimaru was the likeliest Fourth Hokage and promised to support him, then learned from Tobirama that the Heavenly Emperor might resurrect the dead.
• After Tobirama left, Tsunade accepted the possibility of resurrection, resolved to oppose Hiruzen Sarutobi, and ordered ten jars of liquor before promising herself she would quit drinking tomorrow.
• Uchiha Yu woke to immense faith gathering above the shrine and joined Senju Tobirama and Miroku to prepare the divine statue.
• Uchiha Yu placed the Faith Stone inside the statue, and he and Tobirama began applying sealing techniques as Miroku stood ready for the ritual.

Uchiha Yu and Senju Tobirama completed the faith-sealing array in the Land of Demons, allowing Yu to claim Tobirama’s soul and resolve to return to Konoha to overthrow the Third Hokage. During the flight, Yu broke through his mental restraints, embraced his identity as the Ninja World’s first immortal, and paused to convene the Divine Court meeting.

• Uchiha Yu, Senju Tobirama, and Priestess Miroku completed the sealing array while a torrent of believers’ prayers threatened Tobirama’s fragile soul.
• Senju Tobirama’s body collapsed after the array bound the faith, and his soul entered the Hall of Heroes, where divine power began healing him.
• Uchiha Yu decided to return to Konoha immediately and bring down the Third Hokage, while Priestess Miroku reassured Shion and instructed the Land of Demons’ people to respect Yu’s protection.
• As he flew toward Konoha, Uchiha Yu cast off his mental restraints, recognized himself as the Ninja World’s first immortal, and slicked back his hair while declaring that the Third Hokage’s life would be his sacrifice for ascension.
• Uchiha Yu stopped above the Land of Rivers to hold the scheduled Divine Court meeting, manifesting as the Heavenly Emperor, Zhurong, and himself before summoning the participants.

At the Divine Court meeting, Konan revealed that Nagato had devastated the allied forces at Amegakure, while Uchiha Yu decided not to strengthen him further. After the meeting, Yu approached Konoha and found the Third Hokage waiting with an ambush at Tiger Mountain Pass.

• Uchiha Yu joined the Divine Court meeting, where Konan offered information about the Land of Rain in exchange for a pill.
• Konan’s memories showed Nagato using Shinra Tensei to devastate the forces of Sunagakure, Konoha, and Iwagakure at Amegakure.
• Yashamaru accused Konan of cruelty, but Konan defended Amegakure against the invading villages, leaving Yashamaru speechless and Tsunade regretful.
• Konan said Nagato had collapsed after the battle, but the Heavenly Emperor judged her information insufficient for a pill; Yu decided he would no longer help increase Nagato’s strength.
• Momochi Zabuza traded information about Kirigakure’s Seven Ninja Swordsmen candidates for a shortened Water Dragon Bullet hand-seal method, and the Heavenly Emperor announced that future meetings would be called for major events.
• Uchiha Yu approached Konoha, found the Third Hokage among an ambush at Tiger Mountain Pass, and prepared to fight without concern for damaging the village.

Uchiha Yu summoned Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, and Hatake Sakumo as witnesses before confronting Hiruzen Sarutobi, intending to kill him without letting the death be seen as a heroic sacrifice. As Yu headed for the ambush, Tsunade and Orochimaru moved to intervene, and Orochimaru gained the support of several Konoha clans.

• Uchiha Yu summoned Miwa Masayo and asked her to bring White Zetsu bodies and biological samples for Impure World Reincarnation.
• Uchiha Yu revived Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, and Hatake Sakumo, then told them that Hiruzen Sarutobi was waiting with Jiraiya and about three hundred Anbu and Root ninja.
• Senju Tobirama agreed to accompany Uchiha Yu and bear witness, while Miwa Masayo returned to Konoha and Tobirama sent a message to Tsunade.
• Tsunade received Tobirama's message at Konoha's gates and rushed toward the ambush site, urging Orochimaru to come as well.
• Orochimaru left a meeting with small and mid-sized clan heads to investigate Hiruzen Sarutobi's plans, while Aburame Shibi and the Ino-Shika-Cho leaders pledged their clans' support.
• Torifu Akimichi personally vouched for the clan alliance, and Orochimaru accepted his support as he prepared to act.

Orochimaru prepared his forces in Konoha and set out to meet Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya as Uchiha Yu was trapped by a Konoha barrier. After Yu escaped into the air, Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama learned of Uzushiogakure’s destruction and began seeking answers from the Third Hokage.

• Orochimaru gathered the Ino-Shika-Cho clans and the Aburame Clan, then openly left Konoha with the Snake Unit and allied squads.
• Orochimaru judged that Uchiha Yu might defect and take much of the Uchiha Clan and the Tiger Unit with him.
• Konoha forces activated a modified Four Violet Flames Formation around Uchiha Yu at the checkpoint.
• Hatake Sakumo told Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama that Uzushiogakure had been destroyed and that the delayed Konoha rescue force had returned with sealing materials but no survivors.
• Uchiha Yu flew through the barrier’s open top, and Jiraiya used Sage Art: Toad Dream Vision to confirm Yu had Mangekyō Sharingan.
• The Third Hokage declared Uchiha Yu a rogue ninja and demanded that Fugaku help capture him, but Fugaku questioned how they could catch someone who could fly.

Uchiha Yu fought the Konoha forces and Mount Myoboku’s sages after learning that Gamamaru’s prophecy had led them to ambush him. His Kukuri Dōshin illusion clashed with Fukasaku and Shima’s Frog Song, leaving both sides shaken and the confrontation unresolved.

• Uchiha Yu returned through the closing barrier and scattered the Root and Anbu ranks with a supersonic charge.
• Uchiha Yu confronted the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, Fukasaku, and Shima, then learned Gamamaru’s prophecy had prompted the attack.
• Uchiha Yu’s spiritual pressure incapacitated many Sarutobi clan and Root ninjas before he cast Kukuri Dōshin on the group.
• Fukasaku and Shima countered the illusion with Sage Art: Demonic Illusion: Frog Song, summoning four gigantic toads that shattered the illusion world.
• The clash left Uchiha Yu with a nosebleed and the two Toad Sages unconscious; Jiraiya caught them as the Third Hokage and Uchiha Fugaku awoke and prepared for danger.

Uchiha Yu revealed Uchiha Fugaku’s Mangekyō Sharingan and learned that its Heavenly Rock Cave technique could seal other Mangekyō techniques, though Fugaku’s attack only suppressed Yu’s Sharingan temporarily. After Enma refused to fight him, Yu exposed his Senjutsu and Wood Style, turning the battlefield into a forest and absorbing the Third Hokage’s fire attack.

• Uchiha Yu’s Mangekyō Genjutsu incapacitated more than three hundred Root and Anbu ninja, while Uchiha Setsuna panicked over its power.
• Uchiha Fugaku revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan and identified his left-eye technique as Heavenly Standing Deity and his right-eye technique as Heavenly Rock Cave, which could seal other Mangekyō techniques.
• Uchiha Fugaku’s Heavenly Rock Cave sealed Uchiha Yu’s Sharingan for up to fifteen minutes, but Fugaku’s vision was badly damaged by the clash.
• Enma refused Hiruzen Sarutobi’s order to attack Uchiha Yu, explained that Yu was an ally of the Warm-Blooded Immortal Alliance, and dismissed himself.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi declared Uchiha Yu a rogue ninja, but Yu accused him of ordering Danzō to target the Uchiha clan and revealed that he had taken the Sharingan from the warehouse.
• Uchiha Yu used Sage Art: Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence to engulf the checkpoint in a forest, then absorbed Hiruzen Sarutobi’s Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique with Fire Spirit Natural Energy.

Uchiha Yu fought off Konoha’s forces with a Senjutsu fire dragon and an immense sea of tree people, while the Third Hokage prepared his strongest technique. As the battle escalated, Yu abandoned the crowded battlefield tactic and stepped forward to demonstrate his own power.

• Uchiha Yu unleashed a platinum Senjutsu fire dragon, and the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, Mitokado Homura, and Uchiha Fugaku combined their techniques to weaken it.
• Uchiha Yu replaced the collapsing dragon with a sea of armored tree people, which overwhelmed the Anbu until Jiraiya trapped many in a swamp.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi resolved to kill Uchiha Yu, created four Shadow Clones, and began preparing a powerful five-nature technique while Jiraiya guarded him.
• Senju Tobirama urged Senju Hashirama to help Uchiha Yu integrate the Uchiha into Konoha, and Hashirama considered the request as Hatake Sakumo watched.
• Uchiha Yu judged the tree people ineffective against a few Kage-level opponents and stepped forward, intending to overpower Konoha’s ninja before presenting his case.

The Third Hokage unleashed his Five-Style Five Dragon Barrage, but Uchiha Yu revealed a colossal Susanoo and overwhelmed the battlefield. Jiraiya entered Sage Mode and summoned powerful toads to fight Yu, but their attacks failed, leaving Susanoo beyond the shinobi’s ability to handle.

• The Third Hokage launched his Five-Style Five Dragon Barrage at the tree men while his surviving Anbu cheered him as the strongest Hokage in history.
• Uchiha Yu appeared, formed a thirty-five-meter golden Susanoo, shattered the barrier, and seized and crushed the chakra dragon.
• Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Setsuna were stunned by Yu’s Susanoo, while Jiraiya summoned Gamabunta, Gamaken, and Gamahiro to challenge him.
• The toad brothers attacked Susanoo, but their weapons failed to break its defense, and Jiraiya and Gamabunta set it ablaze with Toad Oil Flame Bullet.
• Jiraiya entered Sage Mode as Susanoo fought through the flames, defeated Gamaken and Gamahiro, and pursued Gamabunta.
• Jiraiya summoned the Iwasuku Great Toad’s mouth to swallow Susanoo, but the collision disrupted the partial summoning and sent the toad back to Mount Myoboku.

Uchiha Yu’s golden Susanoo fought Uchiha Fugaku’s armored red Susanoo while Jiraiya prepared a counterattack and the other ninja retreated. Watching from the sidelines, Senju Tobirama decided the only way to protect Konoha was to follow Yu’s lead, and Hashirama agreed to intervene only if the battle reached its end.

• Uchiha Yu’s golden Susanoo overwhelmed Gamabunta until Uchiha Fugaku appeared in a red Susanoo and blocked its attack.
• Uchiha Yu explained that mastery of the Taiyin Spirit Body let him use Mangekyō abilities without the Sharingan, then challenged Fugaku to fight at full strength.
• Uchiha Fugaku armored his Susanoo with Crow Tengu armor and a great blade, and the two Susanoo fought while Jiraiya completed preparations for his barrier technique.
• Jiraiya and Gamabunta saw the Susanoo battle carve through the terrain and recognized how far the Uchiha clan’s power exceeded ordinary ninja.
• Senju Tobirama asked Senju Hashirama whether his Impure World Reincarnation body could defeat the Susanoo, then told him to wait until Hiruzen’s side had no hope before intervening.
• Senju Tobirama concluded that Uchiha Yu had become Konoha’s strongest force and that he and Hashirama had to follow Yu’s direction to protect the village.
