Chapter Summaries

Yamanaka Kei secured Madara Uchiha’s agreement to a Soul Contract, but Madara and Hashirama Senju left for the Pure Land before Kei could compare their abilities. Kei spent New Year’s Eve with Kushina Uzumaki, then sensed Tsunade at Konoha Hospital in the human specimen room.

• Kei and Kushina watched the fireworks from Spiral Tower, and Kushina asked him to check on Tsunade.
• Kei sensed Tsunade in the farthest room on the third floor of Konoha Hospital, the human specimen room.

After Tsunade’s Genjutsu treatment left her with a blood-fueled split between healing and violence, Yamanaka Kei secretly reset her unstable Entry and replaced it with a more controllable one. Tsunade emerged from his new Genjutsu and asked Kushina to close the door so she could speak privately with him.

• Tsunade remembered laughing during surgery and struggled to suppress her urges while repeating Yamanaka Kei’s name in the Human Specimen Room.

• Tsunade emerged from the Genjutsu, told Kushina to close the door, and asked to speak privately with Yamanaka Kei.

Yamanaka Kei told Tsunade that his Genjutsu had made her spend three days hearing confessions and judging sinners, and she admitted her feelings around the specimens had improved.

• Yamanaka Kei told Tsunade the Genjutsu let the children study for nearly two months during two real-world hours, and Tsunade questioned giving them extra classes on New Year’s Day.

Yamanaka Kei’s intense illusion training pushed Might Guy, Yuhi Kurenai, and Shiranui Genma to the brink, while greatly improving their abilities. After noticing Guy had developed wavering belief connected to his father, Kei planned to meet Might Dai and find a way to restore his standing in Guy’s eyes.

• Yamanaka Kei ended the illusion training and told the exhausted trio he would recommend them for the Chunin Exams after they absorbed what they had learned.

As Konoha prepared for war, Yamanaka Kei learned that Sand Village and Hidden Stone Village were launching a surprise attack on the frontline camp and moved to respond. He teleported into the middle of a Sand Ninja force, who immediately attacked him.

• Danzo was appointed supreme commander of Konoha’s frontline forces after clashing with the Third Hokage over the decision.
• Bing reported that the monitored man had been taken in by Gan Yuan and was working at Three Springs Pond.
• Yamanaka Kei received Pakura’s intelligence that Rasa was leading more than three thousand Sand Ninja to join Hidden Stone Village forces, with Chiyo bringing two thousand reinforcements later.
• Yamanaka Kei and White Zetsu, disguised as Danzo, traveled to an outpost near the frontline camp and confirmed that Konoha’s forces were positioned to encircle the attackers.
• At four in the morning, Yamanaka Kei learned that Sand Village and Hidden Stone Village had attacked the camp, sent Danzo to direct Konoha’s forces, and teleported toward the fighting.
• Yamanaka Kei appeared among Sand Ninja south of the camp, and they sent their puppets lunging at him.

Yamanaka Kei infiltrated the Sand Ninja forces, but they mistook him for an ally and then for Namikaze Minato before Rasa recognized him as Danzo’s lackey. Kei attacked Rasa and badly injured him, while Pakura prepared a Scorch Release strike and secretly coordinated with Kei to maintain her cover.

• Yamanaka Kei evaded the puppet masters’ attacks with the Water Transformation Technique, and they mistakenly assumed he was an allied Hozuki ninja.
• Rasa arrived with Pakura, misidentified Kei as Namikaze Minato, then corrected himself and called him a lackey of the Ninja of Darkness.

• Rasa suffered severe chest injuries and ordered Pakura to vaporize Kei with her Scorch Release fireball.
• Pakura and Kei secretly exchanged messages through the Mind Transmission Body Technique, and Kei told her to keep up her undercover act.

Yamanaka Kei returned after Rasa and Pakura’s Scorch Release attack and pursued them through the air. He left Rasa gravely injured and Pakura in danger as they fled.

• Rasa and Pakura’s Scorch Release blast engulfed the forest, and they assumed Yamanaka Kei had been killed or escaped.

• Yamanaka Kei caught up with Pakura, trapped her in Genjutsu, and punched her into Rasa.
• Yamanaka Kei severed Rasa’s legs and left arm with Sage Art: Water Release: Water Severing Wave, while Scorch Release explosions sounded nearby.
• Rasa drove the sand gold away at top speed, carrying himself and Pakura from Yamanaka Kei.

After Rasa was crippled, Yamanaka Kei received new draws and fused several Entries into the Golden Entry Yin Yang Sage Master. He discovered that he could now use natural energy directly for Yin Yang Sage Techniques, and wondered if this power made him an Otsutsuki nemesis.

• Yamanaka Kei watched Rasa and Pakura leave, concluding that Rasa's injuries would end his chances of becoming Kazekage.
• The System awarded Yamanaka Kei draw opportunities after Rasa's fate changed, and he used a Random Associated Entry Draw Opportunity to obtain Spirit of Immortality.
• Yamanaka Kei activated Spirit of Immortality and fused it with Natural Sage Body, Yin Release Master, and Grave Milk Healer.
• The fusion transformed Yamanaka Kei's body and spirit and granted him the Golden Entry Yin Yang Sage Master.
• Yamanaka Kei realized he could absorb natural energy and cast Yin Yang Sage Techniques without relying on chakra.

Yamanaka Kei used two Word Entry draws, then surveyed the besieged Konoha camp and recognized Ōnoki’s plan to force Konoha toward a costly breakout. He spotted Ōnoki watching the battle and began weighing whether to attack him.

• Yamanaka Kei drew the Gray Word Entries Hard Landing and Overtime Period and considered who might be suitable to receive them.
• Yamanaka Kei expanded his sensory range and detected Jiraiya fighting Kitsuchi while Namikaze Minato supported Konoha’s strained defenses.
• Yamanaka Kei counted the Iwa and Sand forces surrounding the camp and concluded that Ōnoki had left the northwest open to funnel Konoha into a deadly breakout.
• Yamanaka Kei noticed Ōnoki observing the battle from the northeastern sky and considered whether to deal with him.

Yamanaka Kei exposed his power by defeating Rasa and Pakura, drawing the attention of Ōnoki and the Fourth Mizukage, who discussed how to exploit the threat he posed. After sensing a hidden Rinnegan and Tailed Beast aura above the battlefield, Kei identified Yagura Karatachi and launched himself toward them.

• Ōnoki watched Konoha withstand the allied Sand and Hidden Stone assault and recognized the strength of the Yellow Flash.
• A Hidden Stone sensor reported that Yamanaka Kei had defeated Rasa and Pakura, leaving Rasa seriously injured and both fleeing northwest.
• The Fourth Mizukage urged Ōnoki to leave the battlefield, while considering how Kei’s revealed strength could turn the other villages against him.
• Yamanaka Kei used the Flying Thunder God Technique to reach the area below Ōnoki and sensed concealed Rinnegan and Tailed Beast chakra.
• Kei suspected that one of the figures above was Yagura Karatachi, then unleashed Sage Mode and shot toward them.

Yamanaka Kei confronted Ōnoki, Black Zetsu in Yagura Karatachi’s body, and Tobi, who used gravity techniques to draw him toward Planetary Devastation. Kei countered with Sage-powered Wood Release, but Ōnoki’s Dust Release destroyed much of the wooden sphere, and the battle continued as Kei’s clones attacked the Six Paths of Pain.

• Black Zetsu recognized the approaching Yamanaka Kei and realized Kei had deliberately come after their group instead of returning to the main battlefield.
• Ōnoki prepared Dust Release and asked Yagura Karatachi to help restrain Kei, while Tobi summoned a Hidden Mist ninja who used Almighty Pull to accelerate Kei.
• Tobi launched Planetary Devastation at Kei, but Kei used Sage-powered Wood Release to create a huge wooden sphere and multiplied it with Wood Clones.
• Ōnoki fired Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique, reducing much of the wooden sphere and the surrounding area to atoms.
• Tobi summoned five more puppets, Black Zetsu entered a crimson half-Tailed Beast state, and two of Kei’s wood clones charged the Six Paths of Pain with Sage Art: Great Ball Rasenngan.

Yamanaka Kei identified Ōnoki, Black Zetsu, Tobi, and the controlled Yagura Karatachi as targets and trapped them with Sage Art Wood Release. Black Zetsu and Tobi avoided looking directly at Kei, while the battle remained unresolved.

• Yamanaka Kei spotted five status panels and realized Black Zetsu possessed Yagura Karatachi while Tobi controlled Kisame Hoshigaki.
• Kei sent Wood Release Clones after the airborne enemies as Tobi used Almighty Pull to bring Black Zetsu and Ōnoki down to the ground.
• Ōnoki fired Dust Release at what he thought was Kei, but the attack struck a Wood Release Clone instead, and the three landed safely.
• Kei used Sage Art Wood Release to seal the underground escape routes and unleash a forest of towering trees around the three enemies.
• Ōnoki blasted through the trees with Dust Release while Tobi protected Black Zetsu with Shinra Tensei, and Kei teleported away to avoid the attack.
• Kei cursed Yagura Karatachi for staying hidden, and Black Zetsu mistakenly thought Kei had called him a foot soldier before correcting him that he had a mother.

Yamanaka Kei trapped Black Zetsu and his allies inside a Sage Art barrier after Ōnoki tried to negotiate with Konoha. He left Ōnoki to choose whether Hidden Stone Village would join him or be destroyed.

• Ōnoki tried to rally Yagura Karatachi and his subordinates, but Yagura said he would resign as soon as he returned.
• Black Zetsu feared Yamanaka Kei's ability and hid behind Tobi while the Six Paths of Pain gathered and Tobi tried to activate Uchiha Hikari's Yachihoko mark for more chakra.
• Ōnoki recognized the Rinnegan among Yagura's allies, judged Konoha's forces too strong, and began distancing himself from Mist Village.
• Ōnoki proposed that Hidden Stone Village and Konoha join forces against Mist Village, but Black Zetsu doubted Yamanaka Kei would accept.
• Yamanaka Kei raised the Sage Art: Four Red Yang Formation, blocking outside chakra and preventing Uchiha Hikari's support from reaching Black Zetsu.
• Yamanaka Kei told Ōnoki that Hidden Stone Village could serve him or be wiped out.

Yamanaka Kei overwhelmed Tobi, the Three-Tails, and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, then used the System to strip Black Zetsu of his Yin-Yang Creation Entry and destroy him. Black Zetsu’s death greatly altered the World Line and raised Kei’s fortune power to deep purple.

• Ōnoki considered Yamanaka Kei’s proposed unification of the Five Great Ninja Villages and feared Hidden Stone Village would be annexed.
• Black Zetsu, controlling Yagura Karatachi, offered to unite Mist Village with Konoha in exchange for one request, but Kei declared he would not be satisfied until Yagura was dead.

• Kei restrained the Demonic Statue with four Wood Golems and the Hotei Technique, forcing Tobi to abandon it and flee toward the barrier.
• Kei used the System to strip Black Zetsu of his Yin-Yang Creation Entry, causing him to vaporize into chakra.
• The System rewarded Kei for killing a villainous boss ahead of schedule, and the Fate Power released by Black Zetsu raised Kei’s fortune power to deep purple.

Yamanaka Kei killed Black Zetsu, spared Tobi after he surrendered his Rinnegan, and gained a Purple Entry Conversion Card by disrupting Tobi’s fate. He then prepared to use Yagura Karatachi’s life for an experiment with the Three-Tails Isobu.

• Yamanaka Kei found that Black Zetsu’s death had earned him two Entry-copy chances and a Red Entry upgrade chance.
• Tobi begged for mercy, removed his Rinnegan, and asked to become Yamanaka Kei’s attendant; Kei spared him and added him to his side.

• Yamanaka Kei offered Isobu a new jinchuriki and gave it the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path’s shell as a dwelling.
• Yamanaka Kei killed Yagura Karatachi and said he was borrowing his life for an experiment.

Yamanaka Kei defeated Yagura and Black Zetsu, then reached the battlefield and explained the Ōtsutsuki and Black Zetsu’s scheme to his allies. Ōnoki accepted that Hidden Stone could not overcome Kei’s power, and Kitsuchi struck him unconscious so he could take over as Fourth Tsuchikage and negotiate peace with Konoha.

• Yamanaka Kei reflected on the rewards for defeating Yagura, then turned his attention to Ōnoki, who had escaped underground and rallied Hidden Stone while Hidden Sand gathered nearby.
• Jiraiya’s forces formed a reverse encirclement as Konoha’s reinforcements approached, and Minato confronted Kei’s Shadow Clone about concealing his Wood Release.

• Kitsuchi knocked Ōnoki unconscious and declared that he would become Fourth Tsuchikage and represent Hidden Stone in peace talks with Konoha.

Yamanaka Kei converted entries into new combat and charm abilities, then fused and upgraded his transmigrator talents into the Golden Entry Multi-Dimensional Traveler. The upgrade let him sense space across the ninja world and the Pure Land, but detecting other worlds required far more energy, so he considered seeking Loulan's Dragon Vein.

• Yamanaka Kei converted Unlucky Conflict into the Purple Entry High Heavens Entertainment, which forced two opponents to fight and let him adjust their strength.
• Yamanaka Kei drew Arsonist of Hearts, fused it with Handsome, and obtained the Purple Entry The Strong Do Not Die by Kitchen Knife.

• Yamanaka Kei experienced a transformation in his soul and spatial abilities, sensed the Pure Land clearly, and found that his spatial perception could cover the ninja world.
• Yamanaka Kei learned that detecting other worlds required far more energy than he possessed and considered Loulan's Dragon Vein as a possible source.

Yamanaka Kei used his Entry draws and gained a powerful magical armory that synergized with his spatial talent, becoming Infinite Armory. He tested it by storing the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and wondered whether it could hold living people.

• Yamanaka Kei used all four Entry draws and received Air-Splitting Seat, Silky Entrance, Average Appearance Eye, and Master of Equipping Magic.
• Yamanaka Kei activated Master of Equipping Magic and discovered its armory could store a vast range of items and operate through his Chakra.
• The System combined Master of Equipping Magic with Multi-Dimensional Traveler and upgraded it to the Red Entry Infinite Armory.
• Yamanaka Kei used Sage Art Chakra to store the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in the armory.
