• Shin and the others rented Room 305, and Shin summoned an air conditioner after Choza complained about the heat.
• Shin guessed that the suspicious people in Room 302 had chosen a room without air conditioning because they were broke, then lectured the students about avoiding liquor, lust, wealth, and temper.
• The class waited until night for a rival tycoon’s deal with the occupants of Room 302, while Shin put up soundproof barriers to block the inn’s noises.
• Shin disappeared briefly after removing the barriers and returned disturbed, saying the scene had been eye-searing; he used a bottle of eye drops while the students teased him.

Uchiha Shin filmed Ino-Shika-Cho capturing two groups during a black-on-black transaction, while a massive Stone Ninja force attacked Orochimaru and the clan heads in the Grass Country. News of the Stone Ninja’s Earth Release Reincarnation Technique reached the Third Hokage, who feared the Grass Country would soon fall without a countermeasure.

Shin left the Land of Fire’s capital and brought evidence of crimes by Danzo’s clan members to a meeting at the Hokage Building. As Konoha’s commanders faced Iwagakure’s growing army of the dead, Danzo offered to step down from Root, but Shin rejected that as an insufficient punishment.

• Shin gave the daimyo a pale blue serum, confirmed that Uchiha affairs would be completed in five years, and flew away from the capital.

• Orochimaru revealed that he had developed the Collapse Virus to make resurrected bodies disintegrate.
• Tsunade and Jiraiya reluctantly wore protective suits and watched Orochimaru test the immune serum.
• The trio reached the Hidden Stone army of the dead, and Tsunade threw ten Collapse Virus vials toward the enemy.

Orochimaru’s Collapse Virus proved effective against the reincarnated dead, weakening Iwagakure’s army and drawing the Third Hokage’s attention back to Shin’s earlier virus research. Shin then visited Nao, who teased him about their relationship and blamed him for corrupting her.

• Orochimaru tested the Collapse Virus on 227 reincarnated dead, and all of them crumbled into mud.

• Shin finished his assigned paperwork quickly, criticized the Third Hokage’s indecisiveness, and asked about Chiken’s reward.
• The Third Hokage named Chiken the new head of Konoha's Root.

• Ōnoki withdrew his undead army after weighing the losses and his injury, and vowed to remember his debt to the Uchiha.
• Ōnoki recalled losing three battles against Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Shin, and Uchiha Chiken as he departed the battlefield.
• Shin questioned the Third Hokage’s offer to place his father in charge of Root, then accepted after learning it would operate beyond Konoha to gather intelligence.

After the Allied Shinobi Forces defeated Iwagakure’s renewed attack, Ōnoki sought negotiations, and Shin warned that the Tsuchikage would use them to turn Konoha against the Uchiha. The Third Hokage accepted Shin’s plan to bring the Raikage into the talks and sent Team One to Kumogakure as envoys.

• Chiken celebrated becoming Root’s director by laughing, then traded insults and blows with Meitoku while Tsunade punched Jiraiya and Shūzai carried him away.

• The Third Hokage approved Shin’s proposal and appointed Team One as envoys to Kumogakure, while Shin promised to return soon.

Team One arrived in Kumogakure and clashed with the Third Raikage and Ji, turning the village’s attempt to intimidate them into a battle. Shin gained the upper hand through Susanoo and teleportation, while Ti’s attack accidentally struck the Third Raikage and left the fight unresolved.

• Ji rushed at Shin and Nao with his mechanical arm, but Shin’s Susanoo blocked the strike and Shin knocked Ji unconscious with his Mangekyō Sharingan.

• Shin evaded the bombs with Magatsukami, causing the blast to hit the Third Raikage, then used Ti as a shield while challenging him to continue fighting.

Shin forced the Third Raikage to accept negotiations at a Five Kage Summit in neutral Iron Country by hinting that he knew the identities behind the schemes targeting Kumogakure and the Mizukage. In Iron Country, Hijikata and Mifune prepared for the summit, with Mifune privately questioning whether merely defending their land fulfilled the samurai’s duty.

• Shin revealed enough about Albert Wesker and Ada Wong to make the Third Raikage suspect Shin had orchestrated the distrust between him and the Land of Lightning’s daimyo.

As the Five Kage Summit approached, the Third Hokage, the Third Kazekage, Yagura, the Third Raikage, and Ōnoki made preparations and weighed whom to bring or how to act. The chapter left the summit’s attendees and the mysterious woman’s plans unresolved.

• The Third Kazekage agreed to bring Rasa to the summit if he mastered Magnet Release, provoking him by mentioning Konoha's Grim Reaper, Uchiha Shin.

• Ōnoki confronted a mysterious woman about her ineffective ninjutsu and threatened to kill her if Iwagakure failed again.

The Kage and their escorts traveled toward Iron Country for the Five Kage Summit, while the Third Kazekage trained Rasa to pilot the Falcon and the Third Raikage taunted Yagura.
