Chapter Summaries

Konoha launched its decisive battle against Kirigakure, where Hui’s opening attacks devastated the enemy before Kirigakure Elite Jonin surrounded him. Near Kannabi Bridge, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin fought Taiseki and Kakko, and Kakashi came under increasing pressure as an unseen shinobi prepared to strike.

• Konoha’s army advanced on Kirigakure, and Hui used Water Release techniques to sweep away and trap nearly a thousand Mist shinobi before the armies clashed.
• The Yuki Clan Leader and two Kirigakure Elite Jonin formed a triangle around Hui with Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals.
• Kakashi, Obito, and Rin approached Kannabi Bridge, where Taiseki and Kakko ambushed them and Taiseki dragged Kakashi underground.
• Obito located the invisible Taiseki with his Sharingan and struck him with Explosive Fist, while Rin exposed and wounded him with her Chakra Scalpel.
• Taiseki and Kakko switched opponents, leaving Kakashi struggling against Taiseki’s invisibility as an unknown black-clad shinobi prepared to attack.

Kakashi defeated Taiseki while Rin and Obito fought Kakko, whose attack was secretly influenced by Uchiha Madara's Genjutsu. Obito appeared to die saving Rin and gave Kakashi his Sharingan, while Kakashi and Rin destroyed Kannabi Bridge and escaped.

• Kakashi endured Taiseki's attacks, then killed him with Chidori after White Fang's presence made Taiseki hesitate.
• Rin struck Kakko with Explosive Fist and stopped her bleeding, while a brief Genjutsu left her unaware of the danger above her.
• Obito pushed Rin away from a falling boulder, which crushed his right side, and gave Kakashi his Sharingan before Kakashi and Rin left.
• Kakashi and Rin reached Kannabi Bridge, planted explosives, and destroyed it, severing Iwagakure's supply line.

After Kannabi Bridge was destroyed, Minato Namikaze found Kakashi and Rin without Obito, while Obito survived through a White Zetsu transplant and began training under Uchiha Madara. Half a month later, Yahiko mastered Air Circular Slash and prepared to join the Immortal Organization after reporting to Doseki.

• Minato Namikaze ordered the surviving Special Operations Squad to retreat, then found Kakashi and Rin and learned that they believed Obito had died.
• Minato Namikaze searched for Obito's body but found only his shattered goggles, while Rin could not remember how she had fallen under Genjutsu.
• Zetsu brought the badly injured Obito to Uchiha Madara, who ordered a White Zetsu Body transplanted onto him.
• Obito woke up, learned that Uchiha Madara had saved him, and stayed in the cave to train rather than returning to Konoha immediately.
• Konoha's fortunes improved after Kannabi Bridge was destroyed and Hui inflicted heavy losses on Kirigakure; Obito continued training during the ensuing half-month lull.
• Yahiko mastered Air Circular Slash and prepared to travel as a member of the Immortal Organization after reporting to Doseki.

Yahiko met Doseki to begin Senjutsu training and was assigned to help manage a future Academy for the Immortal Cultivation System. Doseki considered where to build it before Uchiha Madara arrived, and the two prepared for an unavoidable battle.

• Yahiko took Hero Water from Uchiha Kiyoshi and traveled to the Land of Earth to meet Doseki.
• Doseki assigned Yahiko to manage the planned Academy and divided the Hero Water into portions for safely sensing Natural Energy.
• Doseki considered establishing the Academy in the Wind Country near Rōran and the Dragon Vein.
• Uchiha Madara appeared before Doseki, whom he mistook for Uchiha Kiyoshi.
• Doseki sensed that Madara had regained substantial strength and concluded that Madara could return to his peak if pushed.
• Doseki realized Madara had not come peacefully, and the two faced an impending battle.

Doseki fought the elderly Uchiha Madara, whose Fourth Form Susanoo battered the surrounding landscape, and won after Madara’s strength waned. Madara left after reminding Doseki of their deal, while Yahiko struggled to make sense of the battle and the Uchiha Clan’s power.

• Uchiha Madara summoned his Fourth Form Susanoo, and Doseki answered with a cyan Susanoo of his own as Yahiko watched in shock.
• Doseki and Uchiha Madara clashed with blades, a spear, and Yasaka Magatama, flattening the surrounding terrain.
• Doseki pierced Madara’s Susanoo with a spear infused with controlled Five Elements Natural Energy, deeply shocking Madara.
• After nearly half an hour, Madara’s aura weakened, so he dispelled Susanoo, praised Doseki, and left after reminding him of their deal.
• Doseki told Yahiko to continue practicing Senjutsu and explained that Madara had not fought at full strength, leaving Yahiko wondering whether both men belonged to the Uchiha Clan.

After Doseki’s battle with Uchiha Madara left evidence of Mangekyō Sharingan and Senjutsu, the ninja world speculated about the fighters’ identities. Minato concluded Doseki was the supposedly dead Uchiha Kiyoshi, and Doseki decided to use Kiyoshi’s name openly from then on.

• Doseki took Yahiko away from the battlefield while arriving ninja examined the damage and discovered traces of Doseki’s Chakra, Madara’s Chakra, and Mangekyō-level Dojutsu Power.
• Tsunade sent Minato Namikaze to investigate, and Minato found signs of Natural Energy manipulation and Long Spear strikes that reminded him of Uchiha Kiyoshi.
• Minato connected Doseki to Kiyoshi through the spear, his interest in Immortal Cultivation, and his history with Root, then sent his collected samples to Konoha.
• Uchiha Madara reflected on his defeat, Doseki’s powerful Susanoo, and the possibility that Doseki had an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Doseki used the Nirvana Resurrection Technique and decided that his clones would use Uchiha Kiyoshi’s name, making Doseki Uchiha Kiyoshi from then on.

Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru considered evidence that Doseki was Uchiha Kiyoshi, while Orochimaru deduced that White Fang might still be alive. Meanwhile, Uchiha Kiyoshi reflected on discoveries from studying the Byakugan and continued developing his theories of cultivation.

• Tsunade read Minato Namikaze's speculation that Doseki was Uchiha Kiyoshi and grew furious about how the village had treated him, smashing her table and sending Nawaki to the floor.
• Jiraiya told Orochimaru that he now believed the prophecy's Immortal and blood-red eyes referred to one person, and shared Minato's suspicion that Doseki was Uchiha Kiyoshi.
• Orochimaru connected Kiyoshi, Hui, and the Resurrection Technique, then deduced that White Fang might be alive and that the sharp aura near Team 7 could belong to him.
• Uchiha Fugaku struggled to understand the intelligence that Hui was not Kiyoshi and that Doseki was, wondering whether Hui was a powerful puppet.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi reviewed how studying the Byakugan had advanced his understanding of Sealing Formulas, Yin and Yang, and the fusion of Natural Energy, while distinguishing Soul-Body Unity from his goal of forming a Golden Core.

Uchiha Kiyoshi examined how will shaped control over Chakra and devised five Chakra levels, with the highest meant to resist Ōtsutsuki absorption. He concluded that Chakra carried many wills and could leave its users marked by countless influences.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi recognized that developing a Visualization Method required research into both the soul and will.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi theorized that will was expressed through control of Chakra and used Samehada's absorption ability to study it.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi classified Chakra into five levels based on will and control, placing himself at the third stage.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi linked Chakra's origins to Kaguya, the God Tree, Natural Energy, and the Rules of the Ninja World.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi realized Chakra contained many wills and that absorbing it could leave a person marked by them.

Uchiha Kiyoshi considered how to counter Chakra absorption and decided to investigate the lands west of the Land of Wind while planning an Academy. Doseki crossed a deadly sea and discovered a new continent, leaving the story at its unexplored shore.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi concluded that Chakra contained foreign wills and that developing his own Rule Power could eventually let him purify it.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi decided to establish the Academy near the Dragon Vein in the Land of Wind and sent Doseki west to investigate what lay beyond the continent.
• Doseki passed through the ruins of Rōran and left a Shadow Clone there before continuing across the ocean.
• Doseki endured a black, lifeless sea filled with violent storms, lightning, and tsunamis, replenishing himself with Natural Energy as he traveled.
• Doseki reached waters with signs of life, sensed living auras on the far shore, and identified the land ahead as a new continent.

Doseki explored the New Continent, found a small human tribe whose people had never cultivated Chakra, and discovered they had developed a strong samurai training system. The tribe welcomed him as a guest, and he went to meet its mysterious High Priest.

• Doseki explored the wild continent, hunted a beast for food, and found no signs of people until he flew west and spotted a small settlement.
• Doseki met the tribe’s Guard Squad, demonstrated his power, and learned that he could understand their language.
• Doseki entered the tribe and observed children training in a disciplined system that appeared to follow the samurai path.
• Doseki assessed the tribe’s fighters as unusually strong and considered learning from their cultivation system.
• A Guard Squad leader told Doseki the High Priest was waiting for him, and Doseki followed him to the High Priest’s building.

Doseki met the High Priest of a powerful coastal tribe and learned about its samurai and Onmyoji inheritances. He became interested in Onmyoji methods for cultivating the soul and planned to ask about powerful Fierce Beasts before leaving.

• Doseki entered the ritual structure and the High Priest detected his Mental Perception, confirming his suspicion that she cultivated the soul.
• Doseki told the High Priest a fabricated story about his origins and learned that the tribe had a complete samurai tradition and a long-preserved Onmyoji inheritance.
• The High Priest explained that Onmyoji formed Contracts with Shikigami, whose growth strengthened their hosts’ souls.
• Doseki learned that Shikigami could come from inherited spirits or from Fierce Beasts, while newly lingering spiritual entities had not been reported for a thousand years.
• Doseki decided to ask the High Priest which powerful Fierce Beasts lived on the continent before he left.

Doseki studied how Onmyoji created and controlled Shikigami, then reviewed the continent’s records and compared its tribal society with the resource-driven Main Continent. He began considering whether unifying the New Continent and spreading faith could bring him power.

• Doseki learned that Shikigami were contracted spirit bodies whose cooperation and loyalty supported an Onmyoji, and he rejected the tempting idea of enslaving powerful souls.
• Doseki summoned five Secondary Shadow Clones and used them to skim the books left by the middle-aged muscular man, postponing the introductory Onmyoji teachings.
• Doseki concluded that the New Continent remained divided into tribes because Chakra and Ninshu had never united its people, while large tribes might eventually conquer one another.
• Doseki contrasted the New Continent’s abundant resources and survival threats with the Main Continent’s resource shortages, which he believed drove its wars and casualties.
• Doseki considered unifying the New Continent and spreading faith, wondering what benefits the Sage of Six Paths had gained from establishing Ninshu.

Doseki considered whether faith, divine authority, and Immortal Ascension were distinct paths, then decided to study the tribe’s other cultivation systems for ideas. After he asked to observe the warrior inheritance, the guards escorted him around the tribe while the High Priest watched and wondered how complete Doseki’s own inheritance was.

• Doseki theorized that gods gained power through Rule and faith, while Immortals pursued freedom by cultivating both body and soul.
• Doseki finished reading the Onmyoji introductory inheritance and decided to examine the tribe’s warrior cultivation and other systems.
• Doseki left his hut and asked two Guard Squad members to show him the tribe’s cultivation methods and any inheritance materials.
• The guards agreed, with one escorting Doseki through the tribe and the other going to inform their captain.
• The High Priest monitored Doseki’s movements and wondered whether his inheritance had only reached Priest Level or was already complete and cultivated to its peak.

Doseki observed the tribe’s warrior training and learned how its fighters cultivated blood and vitality, while considering how warriors reached higher levels. He discovered the tribe held several additional inheritances, leaving him eager to study its medicine, Curse Technique, Buddhist, and other traditions.

• The High Priest considered Doseki’s interest in warrior cultivation and the Onmyoji inheritance, noting that inheritances could be exchanged for an equivalent price.
• Doseki assessed the tribe as a powerful, elite-focused community where children trained from a young age and could reach Chunin-level strength as adults.
• A young boy demonstrated his first ability to mobilize blood and vitality, and a Guard Squad member explained the stages of warrior cultivation to Doseki.
• Doseki compared the warrior path’s major mastery with Jonin-level thresholds in other systems and wondered how warriors advanced beyond the tribe’s known teachings.
• Doseki asked about other inheritances, and the Guard Squad member listed medicine brewing, Curse Technique, and Buddhist traditions alongside warrior cultivation.
• Doseki grew excited at the prospect of studying the tribe’s many inheritances, especially its medicine methods and traditions that might illuminate alchemy, Natural Energy, and will.

Doseki traded Sealing Jutsu for the tribe’s Onmyoji, warrior, and other heritages, then studied their soul-related methods. His research brought the Visualization Method close to completion.

• Doseki asked the High Priest to exchange the tribe’s heritages and demonstrated several Sealing Jutsu techniques.
• The High Priest accepted Doseki’s Sealing Jutsu Basics and techniques in exchange for the Onmyoji heritage, Secret Jutsu, and the other heritages he requested.
• Doseki returned to his quarters and studied the acquired heritages, focusing on methods related to the soul.
• After five days, Doseki understood the soul techniques and concluded that Onmyoji and Buddhist teachings would help complete the Visualization Method.

Uchiha Kiyoshi launched the Immortal Organization into the open by transforming Rōran into a vast oasis, using Maka, Yahiko, and Zhen disguised as Doseki to carry out the work. The operation drew the attention of the major ninja villages, and the chapter ended with rain falling over the newly created oasis.

• After receiving Doseki's memories, Uchiha Kiyoshi judged that the Visualization Method had hope and decided the Immortal Organization should act while the major villages were weakened by war.
• Zhen received Uchiha Kiyoshi's plan, traveled to Rōran with Maka and Doseki's Shadow Clone, and brought Yahiko along to help establish the Academy and organization base.
• Zhen disguised himself as Doseki, assigned Maka to turn the desert sand into soil and Yahiko to gather water, and both began transforming Rōran.
• In the Land of Fire, Zhen and his Shadow Clones uprooted huge sections of fertile land and carried them toward the Wind Country, drawing attention from nearby ninja and the major villages.
• Over three days, Zhen and the Shadow Clones transplanted the land and vegetation at Rōran, creating an oasis larger than Sunagakure's.
• Zhen used Sage Art: Rainmaking to summon clouds and rain over the new oasis.

The Immortal Organization transformed the former Rōran Ruins into a vast oasis and built the Immortal Academy there, drawing the anger of Tsunade and Rasa. Doseki announced the Academy would accept children under five from across the Ninja World, and the chapter left the world reacting to its establishment.

• The Immortal Organization moved fertile land from the Land of Fire to the former Rōran Ruins and created the Wind Country’s largest oasis, angering Tsunade and Rasa.
• Doseki used Susanoo and Sage Art: Creation to form two enormous Stone Tablets bearing the names “Immortal” and “Academy,” then carved Sealing Jutsu into them.
• Maka used Sage Art: Earth Release to build the Immortal Academy’s teaching buildings, dormitories, cafeterias, and training grounds across the oasis, while a mountain rose behind the larger tablet.
• Doseki declared that the former Rōran site belonged to the Immortal Organization and that children under five from anywhere in the Ninja World could attend the Academy.
• The Immortal Organization pushed the gathered spies out of the oasis, and news of the Immortal Academy’s opening spread throughout the Ninja World.

The Immortal Academy’s worldwide recruitment alarmed the shinobi villages and drew the attention of the Three Great Sacred Lands. The White Snake Sage ordered Ryūchi Cave not to interfere, leaving the Sacred Lands uncertain about how the Immortal Organization would change the Ninja World.

• News of the Immortal Academy’s recruitment spread across the Ninja World, giving children outside the villages a chance to study.
• Tsunade told Nawaki that Uchiha Kiyoshi had survived and was Doseki, while Madara praised Kiyoshi’s ambition but still favored the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
• Mount Myoboku and Ryūchi Cave summoned Jiraiya and Orochimaru to verify reports about the Immortal Organization and its academy.
• After hearing Jiraiya’s intelligence, Sage Fukasaku returned to Mount Myoboku, while Manda reported the news to Ryūchi Cave’s Three Great Sages.
• The Three Great Sages sought the White Snake Sage’s instructions, and she told them not to interfere and to send a messenger to Mount Myoboku without taking a position.

Uchiha Kiyoshi created Ancestor to explore the New Continent’s inheritances while Doseki returned to the Main Continent and carried out the organization’s plans. After reaching Konoha’s front and provoking Jiraiya into summoning Gamabunta, Doseki used the link to travel to Mount Myoboku and request an audience with its two Immortals.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi created Ancestor from a cloned body infused with Hashirama Cells and blood from Doseki’s battle with Madara, then sent him to study the New Continent’s cultivation systems.
• Doseki left the tribe on the New Continent, transferred his memories and gathered materials to Ancestor, and returned to the Main Continent while Ancestor began practicing the warrior inheritance.
• Doseki returned to Sage Country, assigned Maka and Yahiko to watch the Academy, and flew openly toward Lightning Country to establish the Immortal Organization’s legitimacy.
• Doseki reached Konoha’s front, struck Jiraiya repeatedly, and manifested Susanoo, prompting Jiraiya to summon Gamabunta.
• Doseki used the summoning link to mark Mount Myoboku as a replacement coordinate, traveled there, and asked to meet its two Immortals.

Doseki forced Mount Myoboku to recognize Immortal Mountain as the Fourth Sacred Land, then spread the announcement and began recruiting students for Immortal Academy throughout the Ninja World. Uchiha Kiyoshi turned his attention back to completing the Visualization Method.

• Doseki arrived at Mount Myoboku, confronted Jiraiya and the Two Great Sages, and wounded Gamabunta in a brief fight.
• Doseki demanded recognition for the Immortal Organization and declared Immortal Mountain the Fourth Sacred Land; Mount Myoboku reluctantly accepted after Manda and Katsuyu's clone showed no opposition.
• Doseki and Maka sent Shadow Clones across the Ninja World to announce the Immortal Dao Sacred Land and recruit students for Immortal Academy.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi resumed researching the Visualization Method, whose framework was complete but still needed a final connecting insight.
