Chapter Summaries

Uchiha Kiyoshi left the Immortal Organization, Academy, and New Continent in trusted hands while continuing his research and guiding Hyuga Ten’s cultivation. On the Primitive Continent, Ancestor mastered Bloodline Power and decided to develop a Martial Dao based on it, though he struggled to distinguish it from the existing Samurai Path.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi delegated the Immortal Organization to Doseki and Maka, Academy teaching to Yahiko, and the New Continent to Ancestor while he focused on the Visualization Method.
• Hyuga Ten cultivated the Body Nourishment Technique under Uchiha Kiyoshi’s Shadow Clone, replenished some of his bodily deficiencies, and broke through to Special Jonin.
• Doseki and Maka’s Shadow Clones enforced limits on attacks against civilians, confining the war to battlefields and improving the Immortal Organization’s reputation.
• Ancestor cultivated Bloodline Power on the Primitive Continent and reached the Jonin stage of the Samurai Path.
• Ancestor concluded that Bloodline Power better represented Essence than Physical Energy and began considering the Bloodline Path as his core system.
• Ancestor named his proposed path Martial Dao, considered adapting meridians and the Eight Inner Gates, then found his meridians were already open and resolved to develop the path through body tempering.

Ancestor tested how his power of blood and qi could replace Chakra-based techniques and began shaping Martial Dao into a path of body cultivation. After establishing its initial framework, he left its success to be proven in practice.

• Ancestor used his power of blood and qi to activate a Sealing Formula, though it consumed far more energy than Chakra.
• Ancestor created a Shadow Clone through a Sealing Formula but found it unstable, short-lived, and unsuitable for cultivation.
• Ancestor circulated blood and qi along the Nourishing Origin Art’s route and a separate digestive route, strengthening his body and improving his ability to process food.
• Ancestor decided to strengthen his body further before attempting to absorb Natural Energy.
• Over the next five days, Ancestor devised a framework for Martial Dao based on tempering the body and potentially connecting it to Immortal Cultivation through Natural Energy.

After five days of intense nourishment, Ancestor’s body reached its limit, and he left the cave to hunt for more powerful prey. He decided to seek out flame-controlling Fierce Beasts, hoping to gain a Shikigami and a source of heat for Alchemy.

• Ancestor finished consuming Doseki’s stored beasts and medicinal herbs, reached the limit of his physical conditioning, and left the cave.
• Ancestor’s immense blood and vitality frightened nearby beasts, so he restrained his aura and searched the forest for prey.
• Ancestor fought and killed a powerful black bear, discovering that his blood and vitality strengthened his Taijutsu and helped offset pressure and damage.
• Ancestor collected the black bear and medicinal herbs, then considered gathering abundant flesh-and-blood energy to break through his physical limits.
• Ancestor learned that a nearby Fierce Beast gathering place held flame-controlling beasts and decided to hunt them for a Shikigami and help with Alchemy.

Ancestor fought a Flame Tyrant herd, captured and killed one, then used the Onmyoji Inheritance to create his first Shikigami. Its connection began feeding energy to Uchiha Kiyoshi’s soul, prompting him to consider nurturing more Shikigami.

• After three failed attempts to kill a Flame Tyrant, Ancestor found one alone and attacked it before the herd could reach them.
• Ancestor battered the Flame Tyrant with his fists and Maka’s sealed Long Spear, then carried the barely living beast toward a forest while its herd pursued him.
• Ancestor set up a Four Violet Flames Formation to hold off the herd and killed the Flame Tyrant inside the Barrier.
• Ancestor used the Onmyoji Inheritance to draw out the beast’s soul, form it into a Shikigami, and complete their Contract.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi sensed energy flowing from the new Shikigami into his soul and decided that nurturing more Shikigami could benefit his cultivation.

Uchiha Kiyoshi’s Ancestor clone developed a Shikigami’s spiritual powers and considered how Onmyoji contracts worked, while Uchiha Kiyoshi received the clone’s memories and acted on concerns about Itachi’s upbringing. The chapter ended with Uchiha Kiyoshi confirming that the Visualization Method had succeeded.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi’s Ancestor clone reasoned that Onmyoji needed strong souls, a Rune Heritage, and another cultivated system to inscribe a Shikigami Contract.
• Ancestor used his Fire Spirit’s spiritual power to create flames and found that having the Shikigami cast directly was more effective than borrowing its ability.
• Ancestor considered gathering wind, lightning, water, fire, and earth Shikigami, but decided the idea of using them to build a Small World was premature and should be left to the main body.
• Ancestor sent his memories to Uchiha Kiyoshi, who told Hui to guide Itachi on the battlefield so the boy would not keep his thoughts bottled up.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi set aside the concern about Itachi and confirmed that his Visualization Method had succeeded.

Uchiha Kiyoshi developed a basic Visualization Method and considered using a Golden Core as its focus, while also struggling to reconcile Chakra cultivation with the Martial Dao. In Water Country, Hui confronted Uchiha Fugaku for burdening young Itachi with his worries about war and forced Fugaku to promise to change.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi completed the initial Visualization Method, which cultivated soul quality, and considered a Golden Core as a possible visualization object.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi found that Chakra suppressed the generation of blood and qi, making it difficult to cultivate the Martial Dao alongside Chakra.
• Hui visited Uchiha Fugaku in Water Country and realized that Fugaku had been telling Itachi his worries about war.
• Hui warned Fugaku not to burden Itachi with adult concerns, then used Genjutsu to knock Itachi unconscious and teleported Fugaku away.
• After half an hour, Hui returned with an injured Fugaku, who promised to change and stop burdening Itachi with his troubles.

Hui redirected Itachi’s attention from the nature of war toward study while Konoha suffered heavier losses in Kirigakure’s renewed offensive. On Kiyoshi Island, Uchiha Kiyoshi tested a Golden Core Visualization Method, formed a huge soul-based Great Golden Core, and continued refining the technique.

• Uchiha Fugaku stopped burdening Itachi with his grievances and resumed his education, while Hui planned to guide Itachi’s values and keep him busy before he became a ninja.
• Hui learned that Kirigakure had launched another large-scale offensive and that Konoha’s losses were greater than in previous attacks.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi learned that Doseki and Maka had developed a stable, storable energy by recombining the Yin and Yang portions of Natural Energy.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi used Genjutsu to visualize a Golden Core and condensed his soul into a massive Great Golden Core before his Shadow Clone woke him.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi returned to his Sea of Consciousness and continued strengthening the visualization, deciding that the Visualization Method still needed improvement.

Uchiha Kiyoshi sensed the Pure Land calling to his soul and decided to question reanimated Kage about it before entering. Meanwhile, the Third Mizukage sent Shin to abduct a Konoha ninja and seal the Three-Tails inside them, while Ancestor completed a Blood Qi Pill for martial cultivation.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi traced the summons to the Pure Land and resolved to reanimate the Third Raikage and Third Kazekage to learn about it.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi obtained Third Raikage's corpse and arranged for Yun to return Third Kazekage's fragments so he could use them for Impure World Reincarnation.
• The Third Mizukage ordered Shin and three Elite Jonin to abduct a Konoha ninja with strong affinity for the Three-Tails' Chakra and release the beast after they reached Konoha.
• Shin volunteered to lead the mission because he had sealed the Three-Tails before and could use his Sealing Jutsu to support the plan.
• Ancestor finished improving the Body Tempering Liquid formula and developed the Blood Qi Pill for warriors.

Ancestor refined Blood Qi Pills to nourish his body while Uchiha Kiyoshi learned about the Pure Land from the Third Kazekage and entered it himself. There, he discovered a different form of Natural Energy and found that devouring souls strengthened his own.

• Ancestor raised Fire Spirit to Jonin level, then refined thirty-six Blood Qi Pills from Fierce Beast and wild beast remains.
• Ancestor began taking three Blood Qi Pills a day and continued cultivating Taijutsu and traveling west to find more prey.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi learned from the Third Kazekage that the Pure Land held many powerful experts, then prepared to enter it.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi used the Spirit Transformation Technique and crossed into the Pure Land, where he found its landscape and souls unlike what he had expected.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi discovered that Pure Land energy differed from the Natural Energy of the Ninja World and strengthened his soul by eating a wild beast soul.

In the Pure Land, Uchiha Kiyoshi devoured many souls, then stopped to digest his gains before seeking the Third Kazekage. Meanwhile, Doseki handled the Immortal Organization’s enrollment and discovered a young red-haired boy beside a dead Uzumaki Clan member.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi devoured most of the nearby souls, refined their Soul Power, and paused when his soul became bloated.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi decided to find the Third Kazekage and reflected on the Pure Land, reincarnation, and his goal of reaching Nascent Soul within five years.
• Doseki continued enrolling children near the River Country border and allowed their parents to stay with them temporarily.
• Doseki sensed a vast burst of Chakra, used the Substitution Body Flicker Technique to investigate, and found a dead Uzumaki Clan member and a wary red-haired boy.
• Doseki approached the boy gently and examined the dead man, whose injuries had been severe.

Doseki recruited Uzumaki Ryo after the boy’s father died, while Uchiha Kiyoshi learned more about the Pure Land and the Shinigami’s grudge against the Uzumaki Clan. Meanwhile, Shin’s team captured Rin, and Shin stayed behind to face Konoha White Fang as his subordinates escaped with her.

• Doseki found Uzumaki Ryo beside his dead father, learned that the boy could sense unseen things, and took him in after helping him bury his father.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi learned that the Sage of Six Paths had made the Uzumaki Clan guard the Death Reaper Mask, provoking the Shinigami and contributing to the clan’s misfortune.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi continued cultivating in the Pure Land and grew his soul power to the late Super Kage-level.
• Shin and five Jonin ambushed Kakashi and Rin, froze Kakashi in an ice prison, and knocked away his Flying Thunder God kunai.
• Shin captured Rin and ordered his subordinates to flee separately, then stayed behind to face Konoha White Fang.

White Fang fought Shin after Shin captured Rin, then agreed to join the Immortal Organization to keep his identity hidden. Shin escaped with staged injuries, and Minato arrived to find Kakashi and investigate the battle site.

• White Fang confronted Shin inside the enhanced Four Violet Flames Formation after Shin had completed the handoff of Rin.
• Shin attacked with Water and Ice Release, but White Fang countered his techniques with powerful blade aura and proved strong enough to damage Shin's spear.
• Shin recognized White Fang's strength, offered him a place in the Immortal Organization, and White Fang agreed so his identity would remain concealed while Kakashi matured.
• Shin staged his injuries and fled, while White Fang disappeared before Minato Namikaze arrived and woke Kakashi.
• Kakashi told Minato that Kirigakure ninja had taken Rin, and Minato examined the ice, blood, and familiar blade aura left at the scene.

Zhen transferred the Three-Tails into Rin and was ordered to escort her toward Konoha, while Minato Namikaze sent Kakashi to intercept Kirigakure’s forces. In the Pure Land, Uchiha Kiyoshi found a gathering of Soul Origins, left it protected, and opened a way back to the Ninja World.

• The Third Mizukage assigned Zhen and his five companions, along with fifty Kirigakure ninja, to escort Rin to Konoha.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi found Soul Origins belonging to several recent-era figures, including the Third Raikage, Third Kazekage, Third Hokage, and Jiraiya.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi left a protective barrier around the Soul Origins and used his connection to a Shikigami to tear open space and return to the Ninja World.

Uchiha Kiyoshi confirmed he could return from the Pure Land and reviewed plans for the coming war and the New Continent. As Rin’s staged death unfolded, Obito witnessed her death, awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and began slaughtering the Kirigakure force, leaving Zhen as his last target.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi returned to Kiyoshi Island, confirmed his access to the Pure Land, and planned to intervene in Obito and Rin’s futures while arranging the end of the war.
• Ancestor trained with the Body Forging Technique and found that it made Blood Qi Pills digest faster as he planned his journey to gather the remaining elemental spirits.
• Hui and Minato Namikaze led Konoha’s final assaults against Kirigakure and Iwagakure as Zhen escorted Rin toward Konoha under Sealing Jutsu and Genjutsu.
• Rin ran to Kakashi and impaled herself on his short blade while Obito watched from the forest, causing both their Sharingan to awaken the Mangekyō.
• Obito used Kamui and Wood Release to kill the Kirigakure ninja, then turned toward Zhen as White Fang and Zetsu watched.

Zhen took Rin’s body from the battlefield and brought her to Uchiha Kiyoshi, who revived her on Kiyoshi Island. Doseki then found Obito and revealed the truth about Rin, the Sharingan, and Madara’s schemes, leaving Obito to keep pretending he knew nothing.

• Zhen used Ice Release to escape Obito, sealed Rin’s body in a scroll, and left White Fang to face Obito.
• White Fang drove Obito away with his swordsmanship, then checked that Kakashi was safe.
• Zhen delivered Rin to Uchiha Kiyoshi, who healed her body and restored her life force until her soul reunited with it.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi explained his identity and the wider conspiracy to Rin, then told her to train on Kiyoshi Island before returning to the Ninja World.
• Doseki confronted Zetsu and placed Obito in a Genjutsu space, where he explained that Rin was alive and revealed the truth behind Madara’s plan.
• Doseki told Obito to continue pretending he knew nothing, and Obito accepted the explanation and agreed.

Obito escaped Doseki’s Genjutsu, while Uchiha Kiyoshi turned his attention to the war and urged Ancestor to pursue a breakthrough through battle. Hui began the decisive fight against the Third Mizukage as Konoha and Kirigakure clashed, and the battle remained fiercely contested.

• Doseki dispelled the Genjutsu, told Obito to activate Kamui and make his injuries look convincing, then punched Zetsu and left.

Konoha launched decisive battles on all three fronts, with Minato Namikaze and Sarutobi Hiruzen fighting Ōnoki while Jiraiya and Orochimaru faced Kumogakure. As the Immortal Organization watched the fighting, its Shadow Clones gathered the students and promised them a firsthand look at war before the Academy opened.
