Chapter Summaries

Hoshiryu explained that the revived shinobi would help staff the unified Ninja World, while Konoha planned to keep village leaders in custody and take over the villages. As the other nations accepted Konoha’s new order, the nobles’ attempts to rally resistance failed when common people saw the better lives available under the Land of Fire’s system.

• Hoshiryu told Mito Uzumaki and Tobirama that Konoha would hold the village leaders, take over their villages, and spare only nobles without crimes.

Over two years, Hoshiryu’s reforms transformed the Ninja World, and his abilities neared a breakthrough into the colored tier. As he reflected on his accomplishments at Hokage Rock, an alarm at the Academy of Sciences revealed three blurry figures beyond the planet, leaving Orochimaru and Tobirama to investigate whether they were Otsutsuki.

• The nobles retreated as Hoshiryu, Hashirama, and ninja across the continent reshaped its land and boosted productivity.
