Chapter Summaries

Zhang Miao persuaded Hiruzen Sarutobi to let willing Uchiha leave Konoha for the Land of Whirlpools, while he planned to remain in Tanzaku Street with Tsunade as he gathered fragments to recruit Hashirama Senju. He left Hiruzen with instructions to protect Naruto and the others and went back to the hot spring inn.

• Zhang Miao met Hiruzen Sarutobi at his window and received Hiruzen's Ninja Fragments.
• Zhang Miao advised Hiruzen to let Uchiha who wanted to leave go to the Land of Whirlpools, and Hiruzen agreed to trust him with the matter.

• Zhang Miao explained that he wanted Hashirama Senju's Sage Body to strengthen himself and evolve his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan into the Rinnegan.
• Zhang Miao asked Hiruzen to look after Naruto and the others, then left for the hot spring inn in Tanzaku Street.

Zhang Miao returned to find Tsunade waiting outside, pleased that she had lost money because she believed it meant her wish would come true. He kept his plans to reunite her with Dan Katō and Nawaki on hold, then began refining the Shinigami Mask to grow stronger.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi decided to pay closer attention to Naruto after Zhang Miao left Konoha.
• Zhang Miao returned home and found Tsunade waiting; she told him she had lost ten million and believed her luck meant she would soon meet Dan Katō and Nawaki again.
• Zhang Miao privately admitted that he had used Dan Katō and Nawaki's Ninja Fragments for draws and postponed recruiting them so Tsunade would not leave.
• Zhang Miao outlined his goals of recruiting Tsunade and Hashirama Senju, refining the Shinigami Mask, and eventually recruiting 223 elite ninja.
• Zhang Miao asked the system for a Shinigami Mask and used Grandma Chiyo's 1,790 Seven-Star Kage-Level Ninja Fragments to begin refining it, enduring repeated painful finger bites.

Zhang Miao followed the system’s advice to prioritize recruiting ninjas regardless of star rating and summoned Shizune from the Fourth Great Ninja War period. He gained her Poison Coating specialty and considered adding poison to the blades of his Ten Sword Saint Puppets.

• Shizune greeted Zhang Miao and went to prepare breakfast after he told her not to wake Tsunade yet.
• The system advised Zhang Miao that recruiting more ninjas would earn World Will recognition and improve his luck, so he decided to recruit whichever ninjas he could first.
• Zhang Miao used Shizune's Ninja Fragments to summon her Fourth Great Ninja War version and received her Chakra Reserves and Poison Coating specialty.
• Zhang Miao planned to coat the blades of Grandma Chiyo's Ten Sword Saint Puppets with poison, then opened Shizune's specialty list.

Zhang Miao chose Shizune’s Poison Mist talent, gaining poison-infused Wood Style techniques and a powerful area attack to complement his Eight Inner Gates. After Shizune pledged her loyalty, he introduced her to the original Shizune as her supposedly long-lost older sister, then proposed that they both serve him in bed.

• Zhang Miao decided Shizune’s Poison Mist talent would give him a battlefield-wide attack to pair with the Eight Inner Gates.

• Zhang Miao suggested that both Shizunes serve him in bed after dinner, leaving them speechless.

• The fusion multiplied Zhang Miao's Chakra and granted him a Beginner Sage Body after removing his Yin Seal.

Zhang Miao learned that he needed an Advanced Sage Body to evolve his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan into a complete Rinnegan, then chose Tsunade’s Katsuyu specialty and gained a contract with Shikkotsu Forest. Tsunade entered and found her younger self, leaving Zhang Miao to invent an awkward explanation.

• The system explained that Zhang Miao’s Beginner Sage Body needed more Chakra to advance and that he should wait for an Advanced Sage Body before evolving a complete Rinnegan.
• Zhang Miao told the system to hide unusable specialties and selected Tsunade’s Princess Katsuyu specialty, which became Prince Katsuyu and gave him a contract with Shikkotsu Forest.
• Zhang Miao considered Katsuyu’s healing and acid abilities and imagined using her against people he disliked.
• Tsunade entered the room, recognized her younger self, and stared in shock.
• Zhang Miao claimed the younger Tsunade was her long-lost younger sister, Tsuna-ashi.

Zhang Miao told Tsunade that Tsuna-ashi and Shizuka had been brought from different points in time, and claimed that Tsunade getting along with Tsuna-ashi could help him bring back Nawaki and Dan. Tsunade and Tsuna-ashi bonded, then competed over who would marry Dan if he returned, with the loser marrying Jiraiya.

• Tsunade guessed that Tsuna-ashi was a younger version of herself created in an attempt to revive Nawaki or Dan.
• Zhang Miao claimed he had brought Tsuna-ashi and Shizuka from the river of time and said Tsunade's bond with Tsuna-ashi could improve his chances of reviving Nawaki and Dan.

• Tsuna-ashi declared that she loved Dan and challenged Tsunade by pointing out her own eternal youth and life.
• Zhang Miao suggested that the two Tsunades gamble over who would marry Dan, with the loser marrying Jiraiya, and they left together to compete.

Zhang Miao intercepted Obito, learned that Black Zetsu knew of his existence, and chose to confront him in the Land of Waves rather than return to Konoha. When Black Zetsu arrived, Zhang Miao revealed his knowledge of the Uchiha Stone Tablet and opened the eye in his forehead, leaving Black Zetsu stunned.

• Zhang Miao instructed Tsuna-ashi and Shizuka to get along with Tsunade and Shizune, then flew toward Konoha.
• Obito met Zhang Miao and explained that he had contacted Black Zetsu but had not gained his full trust, so Zhang Miao sent him back to Obito's side.
• Zhang Miao decided to meet Black Zetsu in the Land of Waves to keep Naruto out of his sight and waited for him in the Shadow Building.
• Black Zetsu emerged from the floor, and Zhang Miao called him Kaguya's third son and revealed that he knew about the altered Uchiha Stone Tablet inscription.
• Zhang Miao called himself a god and opened the eye in his forehead, shocking Black Zetsu.

• Zhang Miao revealed his forehead eye and unleashed pressure that pinned Black Zetsu down and caused the Shadow Building to collapse.
• Zhang Miao sent Itachi Uchiha, Kakashi East, and the others away, then told Black Zetsu he was Kaguya's ally.

• After monitoring Zhang Miao for more than half a year, Black Zetsu declared that he believed Zhang Miao was Kaguya's ally and prepared to leave to continue his resurrection plan.

• Black Zetsu thanked Zhang Miao, then he and Black Shadow sank into the ground together; Zhang Miao ordered the system to use his remaining Black Zetsu fragments for a lottery.

Zhang Miao used Black Zetsu’s fragments for a lottery and obtained fragments for Kaguya Otsutsuki and four of her descendants, then refined six Shinigami Masks. The chapter ended when Fugaku Uchiha told him that Shisui Uchiha had died.

• Zhang Miao spent Black Zetsu’s 800 fragments and received fragments for Kaguya Otsutsuki, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Hamura Otsutsuki, Indra, and Asura.

After leaving the Uchiha compound, he was summoned to Root’s underground base, where Danzo confronted him about his identity and titles.

• A familiar voice called on Obito Uchiha to release the girl, claiming she was his future wife.
