After Konoha defeated Sunagakure, Uchiha Yu returned home and decided to delay attacking Ryūchi Cave and Mount Myoboku until he and his allies grew stronger. Meanwhile, the Third Raikage met the child Kaguya Hamura, Kirigakure’s Fifth Mizukage, to discuss an alliance against Konoha and challenged him to prove his strength.

• Konoha withdrew from Sunagakure with seized supplies, leaving the Wood Style trees behind after the Fourth Kazekage refused Uchiha Yu’s offer to turn them into a new city.
• Uchiha Yu considered using Orochimaru’s Ryūchi Cave contract scroll to attack the sage regions, but Miwa Masayo warned him about their powerful sages and hidden abilities.

After examining Gray Shadow and discovering the eagles’ flaw in absorbing natural energy, Uchiha Yu began treating Black Hawk in the high sky, leaving the outcome uncertain.

• Black Hawk confronted Uchiha Yu and asked to form a summoning contract with the Uchiha clan and learn senjutsu.
• Black Hawk revealed that disordered natural energy had blocked his meridians and weakened his wings and legs, so Uchiha Yu agreed to examine him.
• Black Hawk fetched his son Gray Shadow, and Uchiha Yu studied the young eagle’s meridians and natural-energy absorption.
• Uchiha Yu deduced that ninja eagles could only safely absorb Wind Spirit natural energy and devised a treatment involving removing unsuitable energy and rebuilding Black Hawk’s meridians.
• Black Hawk accepted the risks and promised to keep Uchiha Yu’s secrets, so Uchiha Yu began treatment as Black Hawk flew into the stratosphere.

Uchiha Yu guided Black Hawk through purification, meridian reconstruction, and a lightning tribulation, helping him step onto the Immortal Path. Black Hawk survived and became Yu’s fellow seeker, while the ordeal also made Yu resolve to stop hiding from the challenge of unifying the Ninja World.

• Uchiha Yu congratulated Fellow Seeker Black Hawk, and they agreed to encourage one another along the Immortal Path.

• Uchiha Yu used the Reverse Summoning signal to locate Ryūchi Cave and teleported there with Orochimaru and Miwa Masayo.
• Tagitsuhime’s Reverse Summoning ritual failed, and Uchiha Yu appeared behind the three snake sages, whose senses were overwhelmed by his aura.

Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo confronted the three Snake Sages in Ryūchi Cave, where Yu countered their techniques and created a powerful granite giant.

Uchiha Yu killed Tagitsuhime and pursued the surviving snake sages to the White Snake Sage’s temple, where he confronted them. He declared that he intended to kill Ryūchi Cave’s sages because many had eaten humans, and the White Snake Sage faced a battle with nowhere left to retreat.

• Tagitsuhime charged at Uchiha Yu while he was recovering from the White Rage Technique, but Wood Release captured and drained her, killing her and leaving her corpse for Orochimaru.

• Uchiha Yu avoided the narrow snake tunnel, followed the main passage to the White Snake Sage’s temple, and found Tagorihime and Ichikishimahime transformed into human forms beside the White Snake Sage.
• Uchiha Yu pressured the three snake sages with his natural energy, and the White Snake Sage warned him to stop approaching before asking why he had attacked Ryūchi Cave.
• Uchiha Yu said he had killed Tagitsuhime because she looked ugly, then privately told Miwa Masayo that he planned to kill the sages because many snake sages and intelligent giant snakes had eaten people.

• Pakura collapsed in the desert and later awoke with her wounds treated, while the Sunagakure shinobi who had followed her lay dead in the sand.

Pakura recovered in Snow Village and learned that the strange, beautiful residents included boys, while Uchiha Yu struck Ryūchi Cave’s colossal True Spirit Longsheng'an with Lightning Style sage art. The attack severed the snake sages’ control and drew powerful evil gods toward the exposed body, so Yu decided to claim it before they could.

• Ai brought Pakura food and explained that she and Maki had been treated in Snow Village near the Country of Roran.
• Pakura ate, checked on Maki, and explored the white village, where she realized its beautiful residents might not all be girls.
• Uchiha Yu gathered thunderwater while Miwa Masayo used Flame Leap to cut down waves of feathered serpents, and Orochimaru reconsidered his plans for surviving fast attackers.
• Uchiha Yu unleashed Sage Art: Thunder Spirit: Thunder Pool Overturning, striking True Spirit Longsheng'an and severely electrocuting the White Snake Sage, Tagorihime, and Ichikishimahime.
• The lightning disrupted Ryūchi Cave’s control, sent True Spirit Longsheng'an’s life-force pulse outward, and attracted approaching evil gods.
• Uchiha Yu recognized the danger of True Spirit Longsheng'an falling into another being’s hands and resolved to claim it for himself.

Uchiha Yu confronted the gods who had approached the Ninja World and dragged them into his Violet Mansion World. There, the two apparent powerful gods split into more than a hundred weaker gods, who were left fleeing from Uchiha Yu’s forces.

• Uchiha Yu left Miwa Masayo to finish clearing the feathered serpents and focused his consciousness on the approaching gods.

The White Snake Sage prepared to flee Ryūchi Cave with its treasures and planned to seek refuge on Mount Myoboku, believing Gamamaru was its unbreakable ally.

Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo overwhelmed Ryūchi Cave, but White Snake Sage escaped through a damaged Reverse Summoning barrier. They left the cave wondering whether he had fled to Mount Myoboku.

• Uchiha Yu ambushed Ryūchi Cave with lightning, then exposed White Snake Sage’s decoys and badly wounded him with a golden flame fist.
• Uchiha Yu’s Ring of Zhurong threw the giant snakes into chaos, while Orochimaru watched through a Water Mirror and persuaded Red Fang to stay beside him for protection.

• Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo stopped pursuing White Snake Sage, collected Tagorihime’s remains, and found a damaged barrier in the escape cavern that showed he had used Reverse Summoning.
• Miwa Masayo suggested White Snake Sage had only one hiding place, and Uchiha Yu guessed that it might be Mount Myoboku.

Uchiha Yu took control of Ryūchi Cave and negotiated with Orochimaru over its use, then uncovered how the daimyos were manipulating Sunagakure and pressured Orochimaru into joining a trip to Kumogakure. After realizing Otsutsuki Hagoromo had disrupted their judgment, Yu vowed to keep fighting and sever Hagoromo’s influence over the Ninja World.

• Uchiha Yu concluded that the White Snake Sage had fled to Mount Myoboku and declared that Ryūchi Cave would be shared by the Uchiha clan, the Cat Castle lineage, and Konoha.

• Uchiha Yu recognized that Otsutsuki Hagoromo had disturbed their judgment and vowed to eliminate Hagoromo’s influence, even if it meant destroying the world.

Otsutsuki Hagoromo learned that Uchiha Yu was a powerful descendant of Indra and decided to pressure him through events in the Ninja World. Otsutsuki Hamura defeated the Third Raikage and secured Kumogakure’s full commitment to war against Konoha, but the chapter ended with the Eight-Tails attacking Kumogakure under the control of an unknown force.

The White Snake Sage survived her wounds and negotiated refuge and supplies for Ryūchi Cave on Mount Myoboku, while Gamamaru revealed that he could no longer see the Child of Prophecy. In the Land of Lightning, the Third Raikage defeated the Eight-Tails and sealed it into Killer B, as Uchiha Yu revealed that he had placed a genjutsu on the Raikage.

• After the Kumogakure ninja left, Orochimaru asked Uchiha Yu what he had done, and Yu revealed that he had placed a genjutsu on the Third Raikage.

Uchiha Yu used a genjutsu dream to learn of the Raikage and Mizukage’s plan to attack Konoha, then manipulated the Third Raikage and his political enemies toward a fatal clash. Back in Konoha, Yu successfully refined pills using Thunder Beads taken from the Eight-Tails, and Miwa Masayo tried one.
