Chapter Summaries

Tsunade saved Nawaki from a trap, confronted Orochimaru, and tracked the attackers to Root, where her newly activated system advised her to gather evidence and wait before acting. After Tsunade accepted that this timeline had become a parallel world, the Rōran Secret Realm was destroyed by a temporal explosion.

• Tsunade berated Orochimaru for failing to protect Nawaki, then beat Nawaki for his recklessness before entrusting him to Orochimaru again.
• Tsunade followed the scent left by her tracking powder and discovered that the attackers were Root ninjas acting under Shimura Danzō.

• The system told Tsunade that her actions had split this timeline into an independent parallel spacetime, with Uchiha Yu bearing the consequences.
• A temporal explosion destroyed the Rōran Secret Realm, leaving Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo covered in dust and debris.

Uchiha Yu explained that Tsunade’s actions in the past may have created a parallel space-time, and that leaving the World Gate connected had focused the resulting temporal disturbance into the Rōran Secret Realm. After rebuilding the realm, he returned to Konoha to check on his disciples, while Miwa Masayo’s transformation toward human form continued unnoticed.

• Uchiha Yu concluded that Tsunade’s intervention to save Nawaki had caused a major change in history and triggered the temporal explosion.
• Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo rebuilt the Rōran Secret Realm, which gained a twelve-second time displacement and greater sturdiness.

• Uchiha Yu headed back to Konoha to monitor Uchiha Bushi and Uchiha Shisui, while Miwa Masayo’s body quietly neared the threshold of taking human form.
• Uchiha Yu reassured Uchiha Shisui that his cultivation was progressing well and warned Uchiha Bushi that his long suppression could lead to a dangerous, rapid breakthrough.

Uchiha Yu warned Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Bushi about the risks of awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan and explained ways to avoid blindness, then refined their Immortal Path systems. He sensed Miwa Masayo was in danger, tracked her to the Land of Waves, and found her transformation tribulation beginning.

• Uchiha Yu cautioned Uchiha Bushi that an early Mangekyō awakening could lead to blindness and described the Eternal Mangekyō, Hashirama cells, and White Zetsu as possible remedies.

• Uchiha Yu searched their usual locations, followed signs of thunderstorms for three days, and tracked Miwa Masayo to an island in the Land of Waves.
• Miwa Masayo waited on a reef beneath a thundercloud vortex, and a bolt of lightning struck her to begin her transformation tribulation.

Miwa Masayo endured a fierce transformation lightning tribulation and emerged as a black-haired loli with new abilities. After awakening from a ten-year lucid dream, she reunited with Uchiha Yu and showed him the three forms she could now assume.

• Miwa Masayo began her transformation tribulation, and the unexpectedly strengthened lightning overwhelmed her Thunder Spirit's Tail.
• Uchiha Yu encouraged Miwa Masayo to endure as the lightning shattered her body and triggered a painful transformation.
• Violet lightning struck Miwa Masayo, and she emerged from her cat form as a pale, black-haired loli while entering an enlightened state.
• Miwa Masayo awakened with Starlight Eyes, recognized Uchiha Yu, and told him she had spent ten years in a lucid dream.
• Miwa Masayo described how she could fly and switch among human, half-human, and cat forms, then offered to demonstrate.

Miwa Masayo completed her transformation into human form, revealing three powerful forms and strengthening Cat Castle’s prospects as a Sage Region. After she awoke with a strange craving for steel, her popularity among the Uchiha rose, while Uchiha Fugaku’s complaints began shaping Uchiha Itachi’s outlook.

• Miwa Masayo demonstrated her petite human form, mature half-human form, and giant tiger form, and Uchiha Yu recognized that she had become a Kekkei Mōra-level powerhouse.
• Uchiha Yu reconsidered his plan to make the Immortal Path exclusive, deciding that senjutsu could serve as a foundation and that Cat Castle might join his system.
• Miwa Masayo slept for seven days, then discovered she craved steel; Uchiha Yu watched her chew and digest a plate, which strengthened her vitality.
• The Uchiha increasingly favored Ninja Cats after Miwa Masayo took human form, leaving Uchiha Itachi more isolated as a crow lover.
• Uchiha Fugaku’s growing prestige revived his resentment, and his complaints reached Uchiha Itachi, influencing the boy’s thoughts about life, Konoha, and peace.

Uchiha Yu watched Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha while searching for Otsutsuki Hamura, then began using stories to undermine Otsutsuki Hagoromo’s influence. Hamura had secretly reincarnated on the moon as Otsutsuki Yuelun, while Uchiha Yu’s new mythology spread through the Ninja World.

• Uchiha Yu told Miwa Masayo that Sasuke Uchiha and Uchiha Itachi could awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, while Naruto Uzumaki was Asura’s host and Otsutsuki Hamura remained missing.
• Uchiha Yu decided to conceal himself and erase the Otsutsuki brothers’ legends by creating novels, myths, and films that could weaken Otsutsuki Hagoromo’s faith-based power.

• Otsutsuki Hamura realized he had reincarnated as Otsutsuki Yuelun and discovered that his once-thriving clan had dwindled to sixteen people.
• Uchiha Yu’s adapted primordial mythology spread across the Ninja World in Konoha Year 47, displacing local beliefs and inspiring readers to invent stories of their own.

Tsunade exposed a Root ninja’s identity and learned of Shimura Danzō’s atrocities, then asked the System to plan the Third Hokage’s removal and the Senju Clan’s reunification. Meanwhile, Dan Katō’s reconnaissance mission in Amegakure went wrong, and his unprotected body was approached by an enemy carrying an Explosive Tag.

• Tsunade intercepted a disguised Root ninja, revived him after a fatal injury, broke his Cursed Tongue Eradication Jutsu, and extracted intelligence through medical hypnosis.
• After hearing the Root ninja beg for death, Tsunade sent him to the Pure Land and condemned Shimura Danzō and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
• Tsunade asked the System how to manage the Uchiha Clan and set goals to make the Third Hokage step down, install Orochimaru as Fourth Hokage, control the Uchiha Clan, and reunite the Senju Clan.
• Dan Katō used the Spirit Transformation Jutsu to infiltrate Amegakure and discovered that Hanzō and Roshi were planning a joint operation against Sunagakure.
• Roshi detected Dan Katō’s soul at a meeting with Hanzō, prompting them to mobilize Amegakure forces to capture him and locate his body.
• Tsunade and Kunugi Mokume moved away from Dan Katō’s body to intercept approaching enemies, leaving it exposed as a figure carrying an Explosive Tag approached.

Future Tsunade saved Dan Katō from a Root-backed assassination attempt and revealed her identity and advanced Strength of a Hundred Technique to her younger self. After Dan woke and warned that Hanzō was approaching with Rōshi and mysterious guides, Tsunade sent the others to retreat and chose to stay behind to fight Hanzō.

• Tsunade killed a bounty ninja who tried to attack Dan Katō and uncovered Root’s surveillance squad, which had been sent by Shimura Danzō to assassinate Dan and monitor the Senju Clan.
• After capturing and interrogating the Root ninjas, Tsunade reflected on how fear of betrayal had contributed to her hemophobia and recalled Uchiha Yu’s genjutsu helping her overcome it.
• Tsunade’s younger self arrived with Kunugi Mokume, and Tsunade subdued her, explained the danger the Root ninjas posed, and proved she was Tsunade from another Ninja World ten years in the future.
• Tsunade demonstrated her advanced Creation Rebirth: Strength of a Hundred Technique, convincing her younger self that she was telling the truth.
• Dan Katō woke and warned that Rōshi, the Four-Tails’ jinchūriki, was meeting Hanzō and that mysterious people were leading Hanzō toward them.
• The younger Tsunade, Dan Katō, and Kunugi Mokume prepared to retreat, while future Tsunade stayed behind to protect Dan and fight Hanzō.

Tsunade confronted Hanzō alone to protect Dan Katō’s retreating team and demand a new epithet, revealing strength that let her overpower his attacks and neutralize his chakra-based poison. Hanzō refused to yield his title as the strongest and struck back, leaving their fight unresolved as Tsunade healed instantly and Hanzō suffered a serious injury.

• Dan Katō, Tsunade, and Kunugi Mokume retreated from Hanzō, but Tsunade stayed behind to face him alone.
• Tsunade released the Yin Seal and drew Hanzō toward her, then asked him to give her a new epithet instead of calling her one of the Konoha Sannin.
• Tsunade blocked Hanzō’s Water Style: Poison Spray by manipulating its chakra nature and turning the toxic mist into clean water.
• Hanzō challenged Tsunade to defeat him without taking his title as the strongest, and she declared that she would win through taijutsu.
• Hanzō trapped Tsunade’s arm with his hammer and struck her waist with his sickle, but her wounds healed immediately and her counterattack left him coughing black blood.

Tsunade used her healing and enormous summoned Katsuyu to defeat Hanzō, then revealed that she came from another world and discussed Uchiha Yu and the Dragon Vein. Hanzō left alive after Tsunade gave up on getting a new nickname, while Amegakure withdrew and its alliance with Iwagakure fell apart.

• Hanzō summoned Salamander Ibuse, whose real poison forced Tsunade to dodge and left her struggling in the toxic gas.
• Tsunade summoned a gigantic Katsuyu, who pinned Salamander Ibuse and prevented it from returning to its home.
• Katsuyu questioned Tsunade about her origins, learned she came through a gate created with the Dragon Vein, and asked her to tell the Katsuyu in her own world about Uchiha Yu.
• Katsuyu offered to kill Hanzō, but Tsunade spared him if he would give her a new nickname; Hanzō failed to find one, so Tsunade let him go.
• Hanzō retreated and decided not to fight Konoha again during the war, while Amegakure withdrew and its alliance with Iwagakure collapsed.

After Dan Katō survived Root’s assassination attempt, Orochimaru, Tsunade, Nawaki, and Dan agreed that Shimura Danzō must die and that Hiruzen Sarutobi might have to step down first. As they prepared the Danzo Hunt Plan, Hiruzen confronted Danzō and revealed that the younger ninja had united to demand an investigation.

• Orochimaru, Tsunade, Nawaki, and Dan Katō joined Jiraiya in condemning Shimura Danzō and concluded that Hiruzen Sarutobi would have to step down if he protected Danzō.
• Tsunade told the group she had encountered another version of herself, and Orochimaru suspected a third party was influencing events but chose to act anyway.
• Orochimaru launched the Danzo Hunt Plan, and Jiraiya agreed to join the operation with the rest of the Konoha Sannin.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned Shimura Danzō and berated him for attacking Dan Katō, then told him Dan had joined forces with Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Nawaki to demand an investigation.
• Shimura Danzō insisted his actions were for Konoha and called for the four ninja to be punished, while Hiruzen explained that their united influence could not be dismissed by the Hokage.

Tsunade and the younger generation united to oppose Hiruzen Sarutobi after his lenient punishment of Shimura Danzō, while several hundred ninja returned to Konoha unnoticed by Root. Guided by the system, Tsunade then persuaded the Uchiha Clan to join her side, leaving her surprised by how easily they agreed.

• Dan Katō, Nawaki, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya agreed to force Hiruzen Sarutobi from power and kill Shimura Danzō.
• An older Tsunade ordered her allies to begin their operation as her younger self prepared to act.
• Orochimaru and several hundred ninja returned to Konoha with support from Anbu, civilian, noble, and clan ninja, while Root failed to notice them.
• Tsunade learned from the system that Hiruzen Sarutobi's power base was weak because he had alienated the clans while the Sarutobi Clan was still growing.
• Tsunade followed Uchiha Yu's plan and persuaded Uchiha Yuichiro, Uchiha Ryunosuke, Uchiha Xiyi, Uchiha Henghe, Uchiha Setsuna, and Uchiha Shiho to support her.

Orochimaru, Tsunade, and their allies surrounded the Hokage Building and demanded Shimura Danzō’s execution, leaving Hiruzen Sarutobi with almost no support. Hiruzen refused to sacrifice Danzō and prepared to oppose Orochimaru as Tsunade welcomed the chance to fight him.

• Tsunade settled the Uchiha Clan, and Orochimaru then arranged for the ninja clans to isolate the Sarutobi, Shimura, Mitokado, and Utatane clans.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi discovered thousands of Konoha ninjas surrounding the Hokage Building and found that nearly all of his Anbu had deserted him.
• Shimura Danzō, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura arrived, but Danzō backed down when Orochimaru and the other Sannin confronted him.
• The Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Aburame, Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Uchiha clans withheld support from Hiruzen, while the Aburame joined Orochimaru’s forces.

• Tsunade said Hiruzen had made up his mind to oppose Orochimaru and looked forward to beating him up.

Tsunade, appearing masked as a powerful kunoichi, intervened as the Sannin confronted Hiruzen Sarutobi over Shimura Danzō’s crimes. She battled Hiruzen and overwhelmed him with advanced Chakra Enhanced Strength, leaving him to realize she was likely a Tsunade from the future.

• Orochimaru presented evidence of Shimura Danzō’s actions, and Tsunade and Dan Katō rejected Hiruzen Sarutobi’s promise to investigate, demanding Danzō’s death.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi removed his Hokage garments and prepared to fight Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya, while all four struggled with their reluctance to attack one another.
• A masked, busty blonde kunoichi appeared, flung Tsunade and Jiraiya away, and faced Hiruzen Sarutobi alone as Orochimaru withdrew.
• The kunoichi shattered Hiruzen’s Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu with a punch that sent destructive vibrations through the air, then smashed his elemental attacks and drove him back.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi used combination ninjutsu to regain some ground, recognized Sarutobi-style techniques in the kunoichi’s fighting, and concluded that she was likely Tsunade from the future.

Tsunade revealed that she had come from the future to confront Hiruzen Sarutobi over his protection of Shimura Danzō after Nawaki and Dan Katō died. Their battle left the Hokage Building damaged, exposing evidence that the Uchiha had been among Konoha’s founders and turning the crowd’s suspicions toward Hiruzen.

• Tsunade removed her mask and told Hiruzen Sarutobi that his protection of Shimura Danzō after Nawaki and Dan Katō’s deaths was why she had come after him.
• Tsunade released the Yin Seal and confronted Hiruzen Sarutobi, who summoned Enma, but Enma refused to fight and returned to Diamond Mountain.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi attacked with two combination ninjutsu, and Tsunade countered with Cross Slash, sending the chakra dragons into the Hokage Building.
• The blast stripped the building’s outer plaster and revealed the Senju and Uchiha crests surrounded by the crests of Konoha’s founding clans.
• The assembled Konoha ninja recognized that the Uchiha had been telling the truth about founding Konoha and turned their gaze toward Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Tsunade recounted how she had changed history by exposing Hiruzen Sarutobi and defeating him and Shimura Danzō, while Uchiha Yu explained the valuable spacetime data her actions had produced. The resulting karmic bond threatened Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo, but they decided to continue their time-travel experiments and find a way to overcome the danger.

• In the past, Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly signaled Shimura Danzō to help kill Tsunade, and the two attacked her while Konoha ninja watched.
• Tsunade told Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo that she had exposed the Third Hokage's lies, defeated him and Shimura Danzō, and left Hiruzen alive; Miwa Masayo blamed her for the spacetime explosion and knocked her unconscious.
• Uchiha Yu explained that Tsunade's actions had created a distant parallel spacetime and provided valuable data about spacetime boundaries, turbulence, and differences in the passage of time.
• Uchiha Yu discovered a vast karmic thread connecting him and Miwa Masayo to Tsunade's parallel Ninja World, and he warned that its burden could be deadly.
• Miwa Masayo and Uchiha Yu resolved to continue their traversal experiments and learn how to escape or use the great karma.

Hao traveled through time to recover the Yuki Clan’s lost Ice Style teachings, but a temporal shock destroyed the World Gate and left him missing. While Uchiha Yu gained new spatial abilities, the Great Katsuyu Sage later visited him and asked for guidance in senjutsu.

• Hao volunteered to travel to the past and recover Ice Style secrets the Yuki Clan had lost before its destruction.
• Uchiha Yu carefully closed the World Gate, but a sudden temporal shock made him crush it, scattering spacetime fragments through the hall and leaving Hao’s return uncertain.
• Uchiha Yu realized the shock had deepened his grasp of spacetime and tested his ability to jump directly to coordinates without markers.
• More than a month later, Tsunade brought a messenger slug carrying the Great Katsuyu Sage’s thoughts to meet Uchiha Yu in the Ancient Kingdom of Roran.
• The Great Katsuyu Sage asked Uchiha Yu to show her the way forward for senjutsu, and Miwa Masayo questioned whether the visit was appropriate.

Uchiha Yu learned that the Three Great Sage Regions were not a true alliance and recruited the Great Slug Sage to help destroy Mount Myoboku. After sensing the vast reach of Yu’s control over natural energy, Katsuyu compared him to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

• Miwa Masayo explained the Warm-Blooded Immortal Alliance, and Uchiha Yu realized Gamamaru had misled him into treating the Three Great Sage Regions as a united faction.
• Uchiha Yu revealed that Orochimaru had helped destroy Ryūchi Cave and that Konoha now used it as a secret Snake Unit training base, angering Tsunade.
• The Great Slug Sage agreed to help destroy Mount Myoboku so Uchiha Yu would trust her, though neither she nor the others knew where it was.
• Katsuyu sensed that Miwa Masayo had attained a human form and surpassed her, then inferred that Yu and Miwa Masayo were linked as one entity.
• Uchiha Yu guided Katsuyu in sensing natural energy, and she discovered his aura extended far beyond his body before comparing his control to Kaguya Otsutsuki’s chakra control.

Uchiha Yu explained his Immortal Path to Katsuyu and described how sages could become independent from the Ninja World, reintegrate with it, and eventually create a new world. Katsuyu resolved to prove her loyalty by helping him destroy Mount Myoboku, and Uchiha Yu agreed to notify her when he found it.

• Katsuyu recalled how Kaguya Otsutsuki controlled chakra and used it to expose and enslave sages, then feared Uchiha Yu might similarly control natural energy.
• Uchiha Yu explained that cultivation meant perfecting one's inner world until it became independent from the Ninja World, and he confirmed that he and Miwa Masayo had achieved that independence.
• Katsuyu asked about the power of independent sages, and Uchiha Yu compared their range to the Sage of Six Paths and Kaguya Otsutsuki.
• After a messenger slug died from shock, Katsuyu offered Uchiha Yu a summoning contract, but he declined and said he could travel to Shikkotsu Forest himself.
• Uchiha Yu described sages' further path of reintegrating with the world and later creating a new independent world, prompting Katsuyu to promise she would prove her loyalty by helping destroy Mount Myoboku.

Uchiha Yu and Great Sage Katsuyu planned to destroy Mount Myoboku, while Yu reasoned that the toads could not endure losing their contracts with the Ninja World for long. He then proposed forcing the Sage of Six Paths to make Gamamaru reveal itself, as Mount Myoboku struggled with dwindling intelligent offspring and snakes eating its toads.

• Uchiha Yu agreed to help Great Sage Katsuyu attack Mount Myoboku, with Yu finding its coordinates and delivering Katsuyu’s main body while Katsuyu handled the assault.
• Tsunade agreed to keep the plan from Jiraiya, and Uchiha Yu explained that severed summoning contracts threatened Mount Myoboku’s supply of intelligent toads.
• Uchiha Yu argued that modern Mount Myoboku could not endure ten years without contract benefits and proposed severing the Sage of Six Paths’ other connections to force Gamamaru into action.
• Sage Fukasaku told Gamamaru that no newborn tadpoles had awakened intelligence that year and complained that Ryūchi Cave snakes were eating toads.
• Gamamaru promised to warn the White Snake Sage and said any snakes caught eating toads would be executed, while Fukasaku objected that the punishment was too lenient.
