Chapter Summaries

Hui concluded that Kekkei Genkai depended on an inherited aura of Rules that he could not reproduce directly, while Uchiha Kiyoshi weighed preserving the ownerless Mangekyo Rules and improving other Sharingan. In the Pure Land, Ancestor prepared to cause a major distraction so Uchiha Kiyoshi could extract Soul Origin without being surrounded by God-level Experts.

• Hui realized that clones could inherit a Kekkei Genkai aura incompletely, but he could not perceive or artificially grant the Rules behind inheritance.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi stored the Mangekyo whose Dojutsu granted teleportation and spatial perception, then considered fusing Dojutsu Power to strengthen his other Sharingan.
• The Sage of Six Paths asked the Buddha Lord to help hold back the other God-level Experts while he sent power to the Ninja World, but the Buddha Lord remained wary.

• Ancestor began preparing to create a disturbance in the Pure Land while Uchiha Kiyoshi perfected Qi and planned to extract Soul Origin for Core Formation.

Maka sent his disciples to capture the Tailed Beasts after Yun reported that Akatsuki was preparing to act. While the Immortal Organization captured Sunagakure’s One-Tail, Uchiha Kiyoshi began cultivating Qi on Kiyoshi Island.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi converted some Qi into Rule Power, refined the energy, and began cultivating Qi by drawing in Natural Energy.

Uchiha Kiyoshi discovered how Qi Refining brought Essence, Qi, and Spirit to a state of perfection and considered how Chakra obstructed Natural Energy cultivation. Meanwhile, Yun and the Immortal Organization captured tailed beasts as the Akatsuki prepared further strikes.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi realized that Qi linked his vitality and blood power with his Soul Power, and that Essence, Qi, and Spirit Perfection meant the three energies were closely connected but still separated by a barrier.

• Hui’s Death Reaper Mask began transmitting Fire God, so Uchiha Kiyoshi rushed to the scene and Hui returned to Konoha to establish an alibi.
• The Death Reaper Mask shattered, and Fire God descended into the Ninja World.

Uchiha Kiyoshi fought the Fire God after the deity descended into the Ninja World, then sealed away the god’s severed hand before the Fire God was recalled. The descent triggered widespread panic and a rush by Akatsuki and the Immortal Organization to capture Tailed Beasts, while Kiyoshi finished preparing for his breakthrough on Kiyoshi Island.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi used a powerful Air Circular Slash to cut the Fire God in half, weakening him as he tried to return to the Pure Land.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi severed and sealed the Fire God’s right hand, planning to test whether it could strengthen Fire Spirit.

• After the Fire Spirit reached the mid stage of Super Kage-level, Uchiha Kiyoshi's other Five Elements Shikigami also broke through to Super Kage-level.

The Immortal Organization spread cultivation through Branch Academies, reshaping its standing across the world as Black Zetsu rushed to advance his plans.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi endured the Thunder Tribulation by absorbing its energy and using the Eight Inner Gates, then declared himself the Dao Ancestor and opened Immortal Cultivation to all living beings in the Ninja World.
• Black Zetsu reacted to Uchiha Kiyoshi's breakthrough by ordering Nagato to capture the Four-Tails and Five-Tails and planning to revive Madara to collect the remaining Tailed Beasts.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi arranged for Rin and her fellow disciples to inspect the Branch Academies and required anyone who received an inheritance to teach at least five others within a year.
• The Five Great Shinobi Villages and other powers sought the cultivation inheritance, and the Immortal Organization's reputation improved as Immortal Cultivation spread across the Ninja World.

Uchiha Kiyoshi invaded the Pure Land and fought the Gods who had interfered with the Ninja World, killing the Five Elements Gods and claiming their Rules. He returned to the Ninja World after warning the remaining Gods, leaving the Pure Land shaken by the reminder that Gods could die.

After Uchiha Kiyoshi killed five gods, fear and division spread among the Pure Land gods, while Kaguya Otsutsuki began struggling against her seal on the moon. At the Immortal Dao Sacred Land, White Fang began a breakthrough that could transform him into the Ninja World's first sword body.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi's five Shikigami absorbed the Five Elements Gods' power and reached peak Super Kage-level strength as they began connecting to their corresponding Rules.
• Kaguya Otsutsuki awakened in her sealed space, tried to escape with her techniques, and unleashed immense Chakra against the Barrier.

• The Pure Land gods split into factions over whether to fight Uchiha Kiyoshi, while the Sage of Six Paths and Ōtsutsuki Hamura considered their options.
• White Fang used his swordsmanship comprehension to guide Natural Energy through his body, beginning a transformation that Doseki thought might create a sword body.

White Fang passed the dangerous stage of his transformation, while Uchiha Kiyoshi prepared to awaken the Rinnegan and refine his Immortal Cultivation system. At the Akatsuki base, Pain’s group formed a plan to capture the False Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and attack the Immortal Organization.

• Doseki said White Fang had passed the most dangerous stage, and the group left him to continue absorbing Natural Energy.

Uchiha Kiyoshi studied how to awaken the Rinnegan, using Chakra from Naruto and Sasuke while his clones worked on simplifying Primordial Qi cultivation. In Amegakure, Zetsu revealed that he had located the Immortal Organization’s Tailed Beast seal, while Kaguya Otsutsuki’s struggles began shaking the moon.

• Kaguya Otsutsuki's Chakra shook the sealing space and the moon, slightly shifting its orbit.

The Sage of Six Paths worried over Kaguya Otsutsuki’s possible escape and sensed that someone was awakening the Rinnegan. Meanwhile, Uchiha Kiyoshi arranged for Hyuga Ten to awaken the Tenseigan, leaving the Immortal Organization’s Tailed Beast defenses weakened.

• The Sage of Six Paths weighed whether to intervene if Kaguya Otsutsuki broke free and sensed a Rinnegan awakening, suspecting Uchiha Kiyoshi, the Martial Ancestor, or a mysterious person.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi decided not to wait for his eyes to evolve into the Rinnegan and planned to have Hyuga Ten awaken the Tenseigan while Doseki and Maka guarded him.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi expected the arrangement to thin the Immortal Organization’s forces guarding the Tailed Beasts, making their capture seem plausible.
• Uzumaki Ryo suggested leaking a little information, and Doseki approved the idea.
• Doseki gave Hyuga Ten the remaining half of the Ōtsutsuki Chakra, and Ten prepared to awaken the Tenseigan and break the Caged Bird.

Hyuga Ten began awakening the Tenseigan while Akatsuki attacked the Immortal Organization and captured its One-Tail and Six-Tails. Akatsuki left with seven Tailed Beasts in total, drawing the Ninja World's attention as the Immortal Organization demanded an explanation.

• Hyuga Ten injected Otsutsuki Toneri's cells and carefully guided their Chakra into his eyes to awaken the Tenseigan.
• Ōtsutsuki Hamura told the Sage of Six Paths that he sensed someone awakening the Tenseigan, and the brothers recalled sensing an attempt to awaken the Rinnegan as well.

• Konan and Yun used Black Rods to suppress the Tailed Beasts, and Akatsuki captured both and carried them away on paper birds.
• Doseki condemned Akatsuki's attack and demanded an explanation as news spread that Akatsuki had collected seven Tailed Beasts.

The Ninja World turned its attention to the Akatsuki after it gathered the Tailed Beasts, while the Five Great Shinobi Villages also began studying the Nourishing Origin Art. Pain announced the Akatsuki would prepare to declare war on the world, and Yun later heard Nagato voice confidence in his control of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

• The Akatsuki's theft of two Tailed Beasts spread across the Ninja World, prompting the Five Great Shinobi Villages to watch the organization while focusing on research into the Nourishing Origin Art.
• Uchiha Kiyoshi reflected that the villages could develop the Body Nourishment Technique themselves and considered that work part of his Immortal Cultivation System.
• Pain told the Akatsuki that they had gathered all nine Tailed Beasts and must prepare to declare war on the entire Ninja World.
• Pain refused to explain the Akatsuki's purpose for collecting the Tailed Beasts, while Zabuza Momochi and the others accepted his decision and the meeting ended without resolving anything.
• Nagato summoned Yun and told him they were close to success, while Konan questioned whether Uchiha Madara could be trusted.
• Nagato reassured Konan that the Rinnegan and Demonic Statue of the Outer Path were under his control, though Yun knew Nagato could still be betrayed.

After Akatsuki seized two more Tailed Beasts, the Ninja World settled into an uneasy calm while villages and shinobi clans focused on researching the widely spread Body Nourishment Technique. Konoha recruited Hui, Tsunade, and Orochimaru for its research effort, while the wider world began developing techniques suited to its own needs.

• Akatsuki's collection of Tailed Beasts and attack on Immortal Organization left the Ninja World waiting tensely as Akatsuki prepared its next move.
• Minato Namikaze asked Hui why Uchiha Kiyoshi had spread the Nourishing Origin Art, and Hui said the basic teachings could attract practitioners to Immortal Organization for higher-level inheritances.
• Minato Namikaze told Hui that Konoha's research into the Body Nourishment Technique had reached a bottleneck and asked him to help find ways to improve it.
• Hui joined Tsunade and Orochimaru in researching the Body Nourishment Technique, while Jiraiya took on Mount Myoboku communications, village defense, and missions.
• The shinobi clans answered Konoha's call to assist the village and began adapting the Body Nourishment Technique to their own strengths.

Uchiha Kiyoshi learned how the villages and clans had adapted the Body Nourishment Technique, while Konoha developed a medical version and Orochimaru pursued ways to extend life. News of Sunagakure’s successful Puppet Nurturing Plan led Hui to envision extending the method to living creatures and summoning beasts, leaving him considering a plan to raise a Divine Beast.

• Kiyoshi observed that the villages and clans had rapidly developed distinct applications of the Body Nourishment Technique, including Lightning Body Tempering, chakra-specific cultivation, and methods involving Ninja Dogs and insects.
• Hui told Minato Namikaze that Tsunade had helped develop a medical version of the technique, while Orochimaru’s research into breaking bodily limits and increasing lifespan had yielded no results.
• Minato Namikaze told Hui that Sunagakure had completed its Puppet Nurturing Plan, which used modified beast corpses to cultivate puppets and feed their improvements back to their Puppeteers.
• Hui suggested applying Puppet Nurturing to living creatures, such as Ninja Dogs, insects, and summoning beasts, and Minato considered the potential benefits for Gamabunta.
• Hui connected Puppet Nurturing to Onmyoji and Shikigami, then decided that raising a Divine Beast could be his next plan.

Hui developed a cultivation method using Natural Energy to stimulate gradual bodily transformations and improve Primordial Qi cultivation, making Foundation Establishment easier. He left with the idea organized, while Tsunade still could not remember what she had forgotten.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi considered adapting Sunagakure’s Puppet Nurturing method and Sealing Jutsu to raise Divine Beasts, then reflected on how much he still needed to explore about Golden Core cultivation.
• Hui asked Orochimaru how to stimulate the body past its limits, and Orochimaru proposed Natural Energy.
• Hui realized Natural Energy could trigger minor bodily transformations, deepen the body’s affinity with it, and improve the quantity and quality of Primordial Qi.
• Hui devised a progression of strengthening the body with supplements, using Natural Energy to trigger transformations and cultivate Primordial Qi, then advancing to Foundation Establishment after Qi Refining Perfection.
• Tsunade continued trying to remember something important she had forgotten.
