Chapter Summaries

Thirteen-year-old Daren Yi lived in a technologically advanced, prosperous Konoha while working as a toy designer and reflecting on how the village’s peace concealed suffering elsewhere. After neighbors discussed exploiting refugees as brides, he went home alone and revealed his Three Tomoe Sharingan.

• Daren Yi considered how Konoha had grown into a modern metropolis while its history and the Nine-Tails' Rampage still matched the familiar Naruto world.

His Sharingan evolved into a Mangekyō, and he discovered that his seemingly imagined Deep Blue Stat System could enhance his physical and spiritual abilities.
