Chapter Summaries

Kaze discovered that the notebook Tama brought home was a Marine’s diary from the world of One Piece, and found that it contained training methods for part of the Six Powers. The chapter left Kaze wondering about Tama’s ability to travel between worlds and the diary’s place in Garp’s timeline.

• Shisui wondered why Kaze had come to the training ground and decided to test his strength.

Shisui offered Kaze a Jonin Exam, and Kaze accepted, hoping to test himself against Shisui as well. Before they fought, Shisui asked Kaze about his Ninja Way and explained his own belief in protecting peace from the shadows.

• Shisui told Kaze that the Third Hokage wanted him to conduct a Jonin Exam, and Kaze agreed to the assessment.

• Kaze sensed the hidden observers but suspected they were Danzo's Root and chose not to expose them.
• Shisui asked Kaze what his Ninja Way was, then said that ninja should uphold peace in the darkness rather than impose order through violence.

Kaze reflected on his Ninja Way and declared that his heart and actions were as clear as a mirror and that all he did was justice. When Shisui attacked, Kaze shattered his Great Fireball with lightning and appeared behind him, leaving Shisui startled by Kaze’s unexplained power and speed.

• Kaze charged Shisui, and the two clashed with kunai and wakizashi as Shisui launched his strongest Genjutsu.
• Kaze revealed his own Sharingan and resisted Shisui's Genjutsu.

Kaze and Shisui clashed with Genjutsu before Shisui explained how loss and the Will of Fire shaped his beliefs. Kaze rejected Shisui’s ideals and overpowered his attacks, leaving Shisui shocked as Kaze cracked his flaming wakizashi with a punch.

• Kaze resisted Shisui’s Genjutsu and countered with his own, canceling both techniques.
• Shisui told Kaze how his teammates died covering his retreat, awakening his Sharingan, and how the Third Hokage introduced him to the Will of Fire.

Hiruzen watched Kaze overpower Shisui and realized that Shisui might have to reveal his full strength. Shisui unleashed his Mangekyō Sharingan and Susanoo to withstand Kaze’s Lightning Fist, but Kaze argued that the defense would drain Shisui’s chakra and struck again.

• Hiruzen used his Crystal Ball to watch Kaze shatter Shisui’s Fire Release and break his wakizashi with a punch.
• Kaze challenged Shisui to stop holding back and formed a Lightning Fist as Shisui’s Mangekyō Sharingan appeared.
• Shisui manifested his green Susanoo and blocked Kaze’s ten-million-volt Lightning Fist, creating a blast that devastated the training ground and swept through the forest.
• The shockwave struck two observing Root ninjas and sent them crashing toward the ground.
• Shisui said the Susanoo would protect him from Kaze’s Nintaijutsu, but Kaze argued that sustaining it would exhaust Shisui’s chakra and attacked again with his elementalized hand.

• Shisui strengthened Susanoo into Karasu Tengu Armor and charged Kaze, declaring his faith in the Will of Fire.
• Kaze challenged Shisui’s beliefs, arguing that Konoha’s Hokage were chosen through strength and that his own power would protect both the village and the Uchiha Clan.

• Kaze met Shisui’s next punch head-on, and the resulting shockwaves flattened the training ground and hurled Sasuke Uchiha into the air.

• Kaze and Shisui fought at full strength, but Shisui’s Susanoo failed to overpower Kaze and its side effects made blood run from Shisui’s eyes.

• Sasuke clarified that he was a boy.

Kaze and Shisui ended their battle in a draw after Kaze matched Shisui’s Susanoo with Nintaijutsu. Root reported Kaze’s strength to Danzo, while Hiruzen watched the fight and weighed whether Kaze might become a threat; Danzo then confronted Hiruzen after spotting the Crystal Ball.

Danzo left plotting to combine Hashirama Senju’s cells with Shisui’s Sharingan, and Hiruzen considered promoting Asuma to Elite Jonin.

• Danzo confronted Hiruzen after learning Shisui and Kaze had fought, and Hiruzen refused to hand over Kaze’s corpse.

• Kaze explained to Shisui how recording the Security Force’s enforcement could reveal the truth and curb abusive conduct.
