Chapter Summaries

After Urashiki Otsutsuki mocked Momoshiki, Momoshiki activated Karma Stage Two in Boruto’s body and joined Naruto, Minato, and future Sasuke against him. Urashiki devoured the Red Light Fishing Rod and Red Light Fish Basket, transforming into a powerful crane-like form and revealing his hidden strength.

• Minato sent the unconscious Kushina to safety, then returned to join Naruto and future Sasuke alongside Momoshiki against Urashiki Otsutsuki.

• Momoshiki abandoned his plan to hold back and activated Karma Stage Two, changing Boruto’s body and growing a horn.
• Urashiki turned the Red Light Fishing Rod and Red Light Fish Basket into a Red Light Fruit and evaded Momoshiki’s Rasengan by transforming into red paper cranes.
• Urashiki swallowed the fruit and transformed into a golden-eyed, horned, winged form that resembled an immortal crane.

Momoshiki, Naruto, Minato, and future Sasuke battled Urashiki, whose Space Slash shattered their combined attack. The Jōgan disrupted Urashiki’s time-space abilities and kept the fight in a stalemate until Soji quietly reached the battlefield.

• Momoshiki fought Urashiki in Crane Form while Naruto, Minato, and future Sasuke prepared to support him.

• Soji arrived near the battlefield as the drawn-out fight continued.

Soji sensed danger near Konoha and secretly rushed ahead, where he found Urashiki fighting Naruto, Minato, future Sasuke, Boruto, and Momoshiki. After realizing the Jōgan could counter Urashiki’s escape abilities, Soji activated Karma Stage One and prepared to ambush him, leaving Urashiki distracted by Momoshiki.

• Soji left the Konoha and Kirigakure group under cover of an Ice Clone and raced toward Konoha after sensing danger.
• Soji spotted Urashiki battling Naruto, Minato, future Sasuke, Boruto, and Momoshiki, and learned that the Jōgan could restrain Urashiki’s Time-space abilities.
• Soji watched for an opening and began releasing his Karma power while Momoshiki kept Urashiki occupied.
• Soji entered Karma Stage One, and Momoshiki used Banshō Ten'in to distract Urashiki and create an opening for Soji.
• Urashiki realized danger was near when Momoshiki smiled, then heard a familiar voice beside his ear.

Soji ambushed Urashiki with Air Quake, seriously injuring him and joining Minato, Momoshiki, and the others against him. Urashiki refused to flee and launched a desperate spatial-blade attack at the group.

• Soji exploited Momoshiki’s Banshō Ten'in to strike Urashiki with Air Quake, shattering the space around him and leaving him badly wounded.
• Minato recognized Soji as Mizuki Ember, while Naruto and future Sasuke wondered who the Fifth Mizukage was; Boruto sensed that Soji bore Karma.
• Urashiki recovered enough to declare that he and Soji would settle their conflict, and Soji accepted the challenge.
• Future Sasuke realized Mizuki Ember was Senior Soji, and Boruto guessed that Soji was his great-uncle.
• Urashiki unleashed Heavenly Wave Meteor Life: Mitama, sending dozens of purple spatial blades toward Soji and the others.

Urashiki recovered from his injuries and replenished his Chakra by swallowing his own Rinnegan, then summoned a gigantic oarfish to attack Soji and the others. Soji prepared to use Karma Stage Two despite the cost, but Minato stopped him to ask what he was risking.

• Momoshiki used Boruto’s Jōgan to erase Urashiki’s Space Slashes, while Urashiki’s injuries worsened from Soji’s earlier attack.
• Soji taunted Urashiki, who gouged out and swallowed his Rinnegan to heal, restore his Chakra, and strengthen his remaining Dojutsu.
• Urashiki summoned an enormous oarfish in the sky and began gathering a massive Chakra sphere in its mouth.
• Soji prepared to activate Karma Stage Two, knowing it could damage his body and consume something important.
• Minato put a hand on Soji’s shoulder and asked whether he planned to risk his life; Soji admitted the possible costs.

Konoha’s leaders and villagers watched in fear as Minato’s family and their allies fought Urashiki Otsutsuki outside the village, while Tsunade stopped Jiraiya from joining a battle beyond his strength. On the battlefield, Minato shared a plan to block Urashiki’s attack with Naruto and Boruto, giving Soji confidence that they could end the fight.

• Konoha’s sensory ninja detected immense Chakra fluctuations, and the Third Hokage chose not to send anyone into the battle.
• Jiraiya tried to go help Minato, but Tsunade stopped him and explained that he would only get in the way.
• The Third Hokage used the Telescopic Technique to watch Urashiki Otsutsuki recover and summon a giant purple-black oarfish carrying a purplish-red Chakra sphere.
• The people of Konoha and the Uchiha Clan compound feared for Minato and future Sasuke as they saw the looming attack.
• Minato told Soji that he, Naruto, and Boruto would work together to block Urashiki Otsutsuki’s attack, and Soji agreed to trust him.

Minato, Naruto, and Boruto joined forces to face Urashiki’s ultimate attack, using a secret technique and stacked Rasengan to match its power. Their attacks collided above Konoha, leaving the outcome uncertain.

• Minato called Naruto and Boruto to join him as Urashiki’s enormous Chakra sphere neared completion.
• Boruto persuaded Momoshiki to return control of his body without withdrawing his power, then joined Minato and Naruto.
• Soji withdrew to prepare a fallback plan, while future Sasuke readied Amenotejikara to rescue Minato’s family if needed.
• Minato, Naruto, and Boruto synchronized their Chakra with the Secret Ninjutsu Scroll, allowing them to share Chakra and multiply their ninjutsu’s power.
• The three combined their Rasengan into a massive blue, green, and cyan True Taiji Rasengan, matching Urashiki’s attack in size and power.
• Urashiki’s Heavenly Wave Meteor Life: Dragon Palace collided with Minato, Naruto, and Boruto’s True Taiji Rasengan above Konoha.

Minato, Naruto, and Boruto defeated Urashiki’s massive Chakra attack, leaving him badly weakened while they collapsed from exhaustion. Soji prepared to finish Urashiki, who had lost his Rinnegan and could no longer escape.

• Soji switched from Karma Stage One to Sage Mode and secretly prepared a sealing technique while Urashiki focused on Minato, Naruto, and Boruto.
• Minato, Naruto, and Boruto released all their Chakra, with Momoshiki transferring his available Chakra to Boruto, and their True Taiji Rasengan began overpowering Urashiki’s attack.
• The True Taiji Rasengan drove Urashiki’s purple-red Chakra sphere into the summoned oarfish, causing both to explode and forcing Urashiki out of his fused state.
• Urashiki survived the explosion but suffered severe backlash and Chakra depletion, while Minato, Naruto, and Boruto fell to the ground with their Chakra exhausted.
• Soji prepared to deal with the weakened Urashiki, who could no longer escape without his Rinnegan.

Soji trapped Urashiki Otsutsuki in a freezing barrier, then piled on layers of seals to ensure he could not escape. After Minato and Kushina recovered, they helped bring the total to ninety-nine seals, leaving Urashiki completely imprisoned.

• Soji activated the Sage Art—Seven Realms Ice Seal, freezing Urashiki Otsutsuki and preventing him from using his Chakra.
• Soji added numerous sealing techniques and four Yin-Yang Release Black Rods to Urashiki, while Minato, Naruto, Boruto, and future Sasuke watched.
• Kushina returned after the battle, and Minato informed Konoha Anbu that the enemy had been defeated, prompting the village to lift its alert.
• Soji asked Minato and Kushina to add more seals to Urashiki, and they agreed to help once they had recovered.
• Minato and Kushina used Uzumaki Clan sealing techniques to bring Urashiki’s total to ninety-nine layers, eliminating his hope of escape.

After Urashiki was sealed, future Sasuke, Boruto, and Sarada prepared to leave the past, but future Sasuke felt an unexpected sense of loss. He returned to find Sarada worried about him and his younger self awkwardly trying to connect with his future daughter.

• Soji sealed Urashiki under ninety-nine layers of seals and planned to send him to his main body instead of killing him.
• Future Sasuke returned to the Uchiha Clan compound, troubled despite the crisis being over, and found Sarada waiting anxiously at his doorstep.
• Sarada hugged future Sasuke, checked him for injuries, and learned that Urashiki had been dealt with and the timeline was safe.
• The younger Sasuke stood nearby, concealing his concern, after learning that Sarada was his future daughter and regretting how he had treated her.
• The younger Sasuke had spent the afternoon training Sarada and criticizing her Two-Tomoe Sharingan and eyesight, though her Sharingan awakening at twelve was already exceptional by Uchiha standards.

After training Sarada, the past Sasuke welcomed his future self home with his family, and the two versions of Sasuke grew closer despite their rivalry. Future Sasuke realized how deeply attached he had become to this timeline, but knew he had to return to protect his own.

• Past Sasuke trained Sarada, and her calling him “Dad” softened his attitude toward her.
• Past Sasuke and Sarada waited anxiously for future Sasuke to return from the battle outside the village, then welcomed him home safely.
• Fugaku Uchiha, Mikoto Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, and Uchiha Homura shared a late dinner with both Sasukes and Sarada.
• Past Sasuke stopped wanting to drive future Sasuke out, though the two still traded barbs and past Sasuke showed jealousy over his future self’s place in the family.
• Future Sasuke felt reluctant to leave the warm family life he had found, but concluded he had to return to his own timeline because it still faced danger from the Otsutsuki.

Future Sasuke, Boruto, and Sarada prepared to leave the peaceful timeline after defeating their enemy, and Itachi helped future Sasuke come to terms with the tragedy of his own past. The Plow sent them and the captured Urashiki Otsutsuki back through time-space, with Sasuke hoping they could visit again once their world was at peace.

• Fugaku Uchiha asked future Sasuke when he and Sarada would leave, and Sasuke said they would return to their timeline the next day because its crises remained his responsibility.
• Uchiha Homura asked whether future Sasuke would visit again, and Sasuke promised to bring Sarada back if he had the chance.
• This timeline's Sasuke and Sarada left the family together, while future Sasuke stayed behind to speak privately with Itachi.
• Future Sasuke told Itachi the story of their original-timeline lives, and Itachi said the older brother had been wrong to bear everything alone and that Sasuke need not blame himself.
• At sunrise, future Sasuke, Boruto, and Sarada said farewell to both families, and Soji handed over the sealed Urashiki Otsutsuki before the Plow sent them away.
• In shifting time-space, Sarada and Boruto asked about returning, and Sasuke said they might visit after their timeline became peaceful.

Soji learned that Sasuke, Boruto, and Sarada were returning with Urashiki and the treasure Plow, giving him a way back to his own spacetime. He decided to stay in Kara until he could kill Isshiki, while Amado approached him intending to manipulate the two Otsutsuki into destroying each other.

• Soji learned through Karma that Urashiki had been sealed and that Sasuke, Boruto, and Sarada were returning with him and the Plow.
• Soji decided not to leave immediately and planned to eliminate Isshiki before beginning his own plan.
• Amado visited Soji with coffee, and Soji tested him by teasing him before accepting the drink.
• Amado claimed that Jigen needed Soji's help, but privately planned to provoke a fight between Soji and Isshiki and have them badly injure or kill each other.

Amado told Soji that Jigen was weakened after a recent fight and asked him to guard Jigen while he recovered. Soji agreed while suspecting both Amado and Isshiki of ulterior motives, and settled in outside Jigen’s room as Amado left, pleased that his scheme was underway.

• Amado told Soji that Jigen’s body was damaged and that he could not fight at full strength or freely activate Karma.
• Soji suspected that Jigen was not Isshiki’s perfect vessel and weighed whether Amado’s information was a trap or an opportunity to attack Isshiki.
• Amado claimed Jigen wanted Soji to guard him because he distrusted other Kara Organization members, and Soji agreed.
• Amado gave Soji an electronic card to open Jigen’s room, though the card was tied to another Kara member as an escape route.
• Soji noticed Amado’s triumphant smile but concealed his suspicions, then formed an ice chair outside the door and began guarding Jigen.

Soji entered the chamber where Isshiki was recovering, while Amado and Kashin Koji escaped Kara Organization's base and headed for Konoha. Isshiki recognized Soji as he appeared, but hid his panic and asked what he wanted.

• After guarding the electronic door for three days, Soji opened it and entered a chamber filled with enormous stone pillars.
• Amado saw the door open, packed his things, and prepared to escape to Konoha with Kashin Koji.
• Amado explained that Soji had replaced Kashin Koji as the one meant to force Isshiki's reincarnation and kill him after their battle.
• Kashin Koji agreed to go with Amado to Konoha and seek meaning in his existence as Jiraiya's clone.
• Soji's entry woke Isshiki, who was still recovering in Jigen's body; Isshiki hid his alarm when Soji appeared and questioned him.

Soji confronted Isshiki in Jigen’s body after learning from Amado that Isshiki was weakened and Jigen was not a perfect vessel. Soji froze the space around them and urged Isshiki to reincarnate through Jigen, forcing him into a desperate choice.

• Soji visited Isshiki as he recovered and probed him about his weakened condition.
• Isshiki’s evasive response confirmed Soji’s suspicion that Amado had revealed his weakness.
• Soji threatened to expose Isshiki to Urashiki and revealed that he knew Jigen was not a perfect vessel.
• Isshiki tried to intimidate Soji, but Soji dismissed his threats and explained how he had pieced together the secrets.
• Soji spread ice across the space and challenged Isshiki to reincarnate through Jigen or face him while weakened.

Soji forced Isshiki to reincarnate through Jigen, hoping to face a worthy opponent before Jigen's imperfect body failed. Isshiki returned to his peak and unsettled Soji with his speed, leaving their battle poised to begin.

• Soji reflected that Isshiki's return through Jigen would give him only a limited time to defeat Soji and transfer Karma to a prepared vessel.
• Isshiki rejected the risky option of abandoning Jigen and decided to complete reincarnation through him, despite Karma marks on other people disappearing as a result.
• Isshiki warned Soji that he would regret forcing him into this position, while Soji said he wanted a battle that would reignite his blood.
• Isshiki completed his reincarnation through Jigen, taking his original Ōtsutsuki form and releasing enough Chakra to halt Soji's spreading frost.
• Soji sensed a greater threat from Isshiki than from Fusion Momoshiki or transformed Urashiki Otsutsuki, then was alarmed when Isshiki appeared to move and summon wine without being seen.

Soji battled Isshiki, whose Sukuna-Hikona and superior taijutsu gave him the advantage and left Soji wounded. After learning Isshiki had only three days to live, Soji declared he could finally fight at full strength.

• Soji and Isshiki exchanged words before Isshiki attacked with Sukuna-Hikona, making stone pillars vanish and reappear around Soji.
• Isshiki kicked Soji into a wall, then fought him in close combat as Soji used the Flowing Rock Shattering Fist.
• Isshiki pierced Soji with three Yin-Yang Release Chakra Receivers and followed with a powerful kick, but Soji escaped using Ice Surface Shift and healed his wounds.
• Isshiki said Soji could not last three days and planned to kill him before using the remaining time to place a Karma on a vessel.
• Soji revealed he had been playing along to learn Isshiki had only three days left to live, then said he would now go all out.

Soji revealed his Tenseigan Chakra Mode and fought Isshiki at full strength, gaining a growing advantage in their battle. They left the Kara Organization base in ruins as Soji pressed Isshiki, who feared he might not be able to kill him within three days.

• Soji used his normal form to make Isshiki underestimate him and reveal that he had only three days left to live after reincarnating in Jigen's body.
• Soji revealed his Tenseigan, then entered Tenseigan Chakra Mode, alarming Isshiki with the strength he had concealed.
• Soji and Isshiki exchanged blows, and Soji gained a slight edge in strength as their clash demolished Isshiki's chamber.
• The Kara Organization base shook as the fight spread beyond the chamber, leaving its members afraid to approach.
• Soji kicked Isshiki into the ground and pursued him, gradually taking control of the fight with an estimated sixty-to-forty advantage.

Soji and Isshiki fought an all-out battle in the Kara Organization’s special space, with Soji using his Tenseigan to see through Isshiki’s Sukuna-Hikona. After fighting for a full day, the base was destroyed, both fighters had spent about a third of their Chakra, and Isshiki’s three-day time limit made the stalemate increasingly dangerous for him.

• Soji used his Tenseigan to see Isshiki shrink and enlarge Yin-Yang Release Chakra Receivers, then blocked them with his Black Chakra Prayer Beads.
• Isshiki used the receivers as a feint, shrank himself, and launched a surprise punch, but Soji dodged it and continued to evade his attacks.
• Soji tried offensive ninjutsu, but Isshiki shattered or shrank it with Sukuna-Hikona, so Soji relied on taijutsu and supportive techniques instead.
• Soji and Isshiki’s battle tore through the Kara Organization base, forcing most of its members to flee as buildings collapsed and people were caught in the destruction.
• After fighting for an entire day, Soji and Isshiki had depleted about a third of their Chakra, the special space had almost no large intact areas left, and Isshiki’s expression darkened as his three-day limit approached.
