After Uchiha Madara learned that Uchiha Qi’s food had extended the lives of Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Masanobu, he ordered Black Zetsu to obtain some for him. Meanwhile, Uchiha Qi used two more Golden Spirit points and drew the recipe for System Cola, which could be produced in bulk with concentrate from the System Shop.

• Uchiha Madara recovered from the game and heard from Black Zetsu that Uchiha Masanobu had awakened his eyes but survived only because he ate food from Uchiha Qi.

• Uchiha Qi used the points for two ten-pulls and obtained a gold-rarity recipe for System Cola.
• Uchiha Qi discovered that the recipe required Super Cola Concentrate from the System Shop to produce cola with its special effects.

Uchiha Qi put Tsunade in charge of mass-producing System Cola to strengthen her authority as acting Hokage. While they discussed the plan in the Spiritual Network World, Nawaki secretly misread their friendly banter as a sign that they would soon become a couple, leaving him hopeful about becoming an uncle.

Uchiha Qi invested in Sasori as a protected engineering talent and commissioned him to develop a pilotable combat puppet, hoping to eventually pilot a Gundam himself. Meanwhile, the Third Raikage and Yotsuki Ai debated whether Konoha’s industrial growth and reduced mission volume concealed a plan to strengthen its ninja.

• Uchiha Qi visited Sasori in a private Spiritual Network world, where Sasori studied engineering and pledged to repay Qi for his support.
• Uchiha Qi told Sasori to focus on becoming a super engineer rather than fighting, and asked him to build a large combat puppet that a person could pilot.
• Sasori accepted the commission, recognized the value of prototypes and iterative improvements, and regretted his former pursuit of a perfect ultimate puppet.
• Uchiha Qi left excited at the prospect of piloting Sasori’s creation, while wondering whether Konoha’s changes would alter the timing of the next Ninja World War.
• In Kumogakure, Yotsuki Ai argued that Konoha’s reduced mission work made it vulnerable, but the Third Raikage warned that Genjutsu Games could be secretly improving Konoha’s ninja.
• Yotsuki Ai acknowledged that Konoha could benefit even more from the games and wondered whether it had reduced missions to train its ninja.

Konoha’s reduced mission volume left other villages convinced it was weakening itself, while Sunagakure unexpectedly grew prosperous by taking over Konoha’s work and became less inclined to start a war. As Sunagakure’s war fever faded and the Third Great Ninja War receded, Uchiha Qi brought several young ninja in to test his new fighting game.

• Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure misread Konoha’s commercial growth and expected to seize its wealth when war broke out.
• The Third Kazekage suppressed Sunagakure’s desire for war, wary that starting a conflict would bring the village catastrophic losses.
• Sunagakure took over Konoha’s discarded missions and opened Game Arcades, keeping its ninja too busy earning money to pursue war.
• The Third Kazekage worried that Sunagakure’s sudden workload and possible expansion of the Ninja Academy would leave the village vulnerable if Konoha’s missions dried up.
• Uchiha Qi invited Uchiha Obito, Kakashi, Might Guy, and the young Uchiha Shisui to test his nearly finished fighting game.

• Uchiha Qi led the four boys to a room for game testing and brought them into the Genjutsu Game world.
• Uchiha Qi unveiled the ninja world’s first fighting game, Ultimate Storm.

Uchiha Qi’s four testers tried his new fighting game, discovering that its characters gave them the strength and combat knowledge of Elite Jonin. As Kakashi and Obito battled and Guy challenged Shisui, Uchiha Qi considered how to expand the game and decided Jiraiya would create its future “wholesome” games.

• Jiraiya and Orochimaru reported back to Tsunade, who explained that the Third Hokage had been injured after spying on the women’s bath and had left her with his work.

• Uchiha Qi revived the defeated boys and reset Might Guy, and Obito and Shisui realized why Qi had demanded that the Uchiha respect Might Duy.

Might Guy learned to restrain himself after experiencing the Eight Gates Formation, while Uchiha Qi recruited Jiraiya to create adult-oriented Genjutsu Games. The chapter ended with the two agreeing to build a new venture together.

• Might Guy remembered his father's warning about self-restraint and resolved to train harder without recklessly using the Eight Gates Formation.

Shimura Danzō realized that Root was being weakened from within as its members questioned their ideals after playing “Outlast,” while Konoha’s leaders refused to support him. He decided to capture Uchiha Obito the next morning, as Uchiha Madara received the stolen hamburger and cola from Black Zetsu.

• Shimura Danzō learned that Jiraiya had allied with Uchiha Qi, leaving the Sannin and Minato Namikaze aligned with Qi’s changes in Konoha.
• Shimura Danzō found that Hiruzen Sarutobi and his other former allies opposed his plans against the Uchiha Clan and told him not to act recklessly.
