Chapter Summaries

Jiraiya left Amegakure after questioning the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, while Aburame Tetsumaru and Butler discussed the completed Worker Drones and Tetsumaru's plan for an all-producing biological Mother Hive. Meanwhile, Katsuyu chose to travel in her enormous main-body form to investigate the Tree Shepherd Civilization, prompting the Zenith Civilization to prepare a major exploration mission.

• Jiraiya left Amegakure dejectedly, though his actions strengthened cooperation between Amegakure and Konoha, while Aburame Tetsumaru continued manipulating events to preserve the north-south balance.
• Butler explained the labor and water challenges of developing the Land of Wind, and Aburame Tetsumaru revealed that Worker Drones were complete and that he hoped to create an Ultimate Producer.
• Butler ended the call and Advent members arranged to avoid Aburame Tetsumaru while he worked, relying on Politician and Hinata to keep him grounded.
• The Zenith Civilization transported Katsuyu's fifty-four-million-ton main body to the Space Station and prepared to send her to explore the Tree Shepherd Civilization.
• Katsuyu said the Tree Shepherd Civilization might be key to her Shedding Mortality, and Aburame Tetsumaru and the Exploration Group began revising their plans and reinforcing the Heavenly Transfer Gates for her journey.

Katsuyu departed to explore the Tree Shepherd Civilization, despite the risk that her appetite for big trees could cause conflict, while Uchiha Sanae prepared to jump to another Timeline. The chapter left Katsuyu en route to Six-String Star and Sanae poised to see a version of the Shinobi World without Aburame Tetsumaru’s rise.

• Katsuyu described how her immense body and accumulated memories had once left her nearly motionless, and Alchemy reassured her that she could meet Senju Hashirama after Orochimaru revived him.
• Jupiter pointed out that the Tree Shepherd Civilization consisted of intelligent big trees that Katsuyu liked to eat, so Aburame Tetsumaru warned her not to eat intelligent trees or drive them to extinction.
• Katsuyu traveled through the Heavenly Transfer Gate to Saturn, then departed with her spaceship for Six-String Star and the Tree Herder Galaxy without Advent or Avatar support.
• As Dragon Vein energy threatened the Rōran Dragon Vein Base, Torch Dragon planned an active Timeline jump to prevent an uncontrolled transfer.
• Uchiha Sanae applied to jump to another Timeline to learn what her life and the Shinobi World would have become without Aburame Tetsumaru, and Eighth Master approved her mission.

Uchiha Sanae traveled through time to Konoha Year 56, the year of the Uchiha Night of the Massacre, and set off for Konoha to find her original self. Meanwhile, Aburame Tetsumaru discovered that Otsutsuki Hagoromo had infiltrated his mind and suspected the reincarnations of Asura and Indra were sustaining Hagoromo in the Pure Land.

• Torch Dragon sent Uchiha Sanae through time, and the Dragon Vein Lab discovered she had arrived in Konoha Year 56.
• Uchiha Itachi asked to follow Sanae, but Torch Dragon refused because another jump might endanger her.
• Sanae arrived in a ruined hall near the Rōran Dragon Vein, found that most of her insects and all her Worker Drone Eggs had died, and headed for Konoha.
• Aburame Tetsumaru abandoned his Ultimate Producer brainstorming after Otsutsuki Hagoromo entered his mental world and revealed himself.
• Tetsumaru accused Hagoromo and Asura of harming the living, then suspected that the reincarnations of Asura and Indra anchored Hagoromo to the Pure Land.

Aburame Tetsumaru told Otsutsuki Kaguya that her freedom was near, then revealed he had claimed half of her chakra and provoked her into punching his Shadow Clone. They discussed Nagato’s planned death and resurrection as a test of Zenith Civilization’s rebirth Advent, which would give him one more chance but risk permanently erasing his soul.

• Otsutsuki Kaguya worried that Hagoromo had harmed Tetsumaru, and Tetsumaru teased her about her poor combat ability.
• Tetsumaru told Kaguya that Black Zetsu had revived Uchiha Madara and that the Infinite Tsukuyomi would soon set her free.
• Tetsumaru revealed that he had claimed half of Kaguya’s chakra, and Kaguya angrily beat his Shadow Clone without destroying it.
• Tetsumaru explained that Nagato would survive reviving Madara and might be given a chance to join Zenith Civilization after experiencing death.
• Tetsumaru told Kaguya that the planned rebirth Advent could give failed candidates another attempt, but a second failure could erase their souls completely.

Aburame Tetsumaru continued his careful plan to rescue Otsutsuki Kaguya, while Otsutsuki Hamura discovered his descendants could no longer anchor him and sought help from Otsutsuki Hagoromo. Meanwhile, Uchiha Sanae infiltrated Konoha and headed for the Uchiha Clan.

• Aburame Tetsumaru dispelled his Shadow Clone after leaving Senjutsu Chakra for Otsutsuki Kaguya, and he resolved to use Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu to trigger her rescue without completing the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
• Otsutsuki Hagoromo told Otsutsuki Hamura that a dangerous, unknown Great Sage had appeared, and the brothers discussed gathering information about him.
• Otsutsuki Hamura discovered that his pure-blooded descendants were gone and that Hyuga Hinata's power had severed his connection to the remaining clans, leaving him with only a few elderly worshippers.
• Otsutsuki Hamura learned that he might lose his remaining soul anchors within twenty years, so Otsutsuki Hagoromo proposed creating new legends and contacting Hyuga Hinata through deceased Hyuga Heads of Clan.
• Uchiha Sanae reached Konoha, broke through its poorly maintained warning barrier, concealed the damage, and made her way toward the Uchiha Clan.

Uchiha Sanae arrived in a different Konoha, uncovered a surveillance operation targeting the Uchiha Clan, and suspected the clan was in danger. She left for the Uchiha Compound to find her counterpart, choosing to follow her convictions despite her hesitation.

• Uchiha Sanae noticed that Konoha and the Uchiha Compound differed from her memories, then used her Sharingan to immobilize two Anbu who questioned her.
• Uchiha Sanae hypnotized Aoba and discovered that the burly Anbu was a Root Ninja bound by the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal.
• Uchiha Sanae killed the Root Ninja with Nuclear Release: Nuclear Fusion Flame and learned that Konoha was monitoring nearly every Uchiha, with Uchiha Itachi assigned to watch Uchiha Fugaku.
• Uchiha Sanae learned that the date was August 11th, Konoha Year 56, then sealed Aoba's memories and left him unconscious rather than killing him.
• Uchiha Sanae decided to postpone confronting the Uchiha Clan's danger and headed to the Uchiha Compound to find herself in this Timeline.

Danzo urged Hiruzen to attack the Uchiha after a Root Ninja was killed, but Hiruzen refused to act without proof. Meanwhile, Uchiha Sanae secretly searched the compound for its residents; as she returned to her hiding place at dawn, someone confronted her.

• Danzo demanded that Hiruzen punish the Uchiha, claiming they had killed a Root Ninja, but an Anbu report revealed only that the missing ninja had been found burned to ashes with melted weapons nearby.
• Hiruzen rejected Danzo’s accusations and refused to target the Uchiha without clear evidence, and the two parted angrily.
• Uchiha Sanae watched the Hokage Office exchange through insects and concluded that the Uchiha Clan still faced a bleak fate in this timeline.

• Sanae investigated two hundred households before dawn and returned to her shelter in the woods, where an unfamiliar voice asked who she was.

After meeting Uchiha Izumi, Uchiha Sanae decided to change the Uchiha Clan’s fate and planned a direct campaign against Shimura Danzō and Sarutobi Hiruzen’s faction. She located Root’s underground base and prepared to attack it that night.

• Uchiha Sanae planned to raid Root’s headquarters, loot the Hokage Building, and stop intrusions into the Uchiha Compound.
• Uchiha Sanae used Nuclear Release: Magnetic Storm Ray to map the underground and confirm the location of Root’s base.

Uchiha Sanae investigated Root’s headquarters, killed Aburame Torune, and found the Sharingan that belonged to her counterpart in this timeline. She realized Root had taken her eyes and lamented that, without Senior Aburame, she would have suffered the same fate.

• Root delayed responding to the effects of Sanae’s Magnetic Storm Ray, and Yamanaka Fū was never informed of the incident before Sanae left.
• Uchiha Izumi visited Sanae with a homemade fried eggplant rice bowl, and Sanae warned her to stay indoors after dark.
• Sanae searched hundreds of Uchiha homes, then infiltrated Root’s headquarters and broke into its treasuries.
• Aburame Torune confronted Sanae, but her radiation killed his Rinkaichū, and her Mangekyō technique Jizō reduced him to ash.
• Sanae searched Root’s remaining treasuries and found a pair of Two-Tomoe Sharingan that she recognized as her own eyes from this timeline.

Uchiha Sanae destroyed Root with her Mangekyō technique, triggering a village-wide emergency and leaving Konoha unable to extinguish the heat beneath the crater. Back at the Uchiha Compound, she abandoned her remaining plans, began building a hidden underground base, and waited as Uchiha Izumi approached.

• Uchiha Sanae looted Root, freed its living test subjects, collected the Sharingan, and destroyed the base with Amaterasu Sun Maiden's Fate.
• Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō responded to the explosion, and Hiruzen ordered Danzō to stop targeting the Uchiha until the threat was understood.
• Konoha's ninja struggled to contain the crater's persistent heat until Nara Shikaku proposed diverting water from the Naka River into it.
• Uchiha Sanae returned to the Compound, regretted that Root's destruction had derailed her plans, and decided to establish a hidden underground chamber for herself and her spoils.
• Uchiha Sanae began digging beneath her shelter with a Tunneling Worm and six hundred Mole Crickets, but Uchiha Izumi arrived before the tunnel was concealed.

Uchiha Sanae tried to win Uchiha Izumi over while monitoring the growing conflict between Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shiho. She exposed Uchiha Itachi as a spy reporting to the Third Hokage, leaving Izumi devastated and clinging to Sanae for comfort.

• Uchiha Izumi admired Sanae's Tunneling Worm and asked for an insect Summoning Animal, so Sanae offered to trade her one for something Izumi had.

• Uchiha Sanae discovered a White Zetsu while excavating underground and caught it in a capture net; Uchiha Izumi woke and helped her haul it out.

Uchiha Sanae captured three White Zetsu and built an underground laboratory with Uchiha Izumi, while her analysis of Konoha clarified how the Uchiha conflict might be resolved. Obito and Black Zetsu failed to find the woman hunting their White Zetsu and began to suspect the Uchiha had awakened another Mangekyō Sharingan with a space-time ability.

• Uchiha Obito ordered Black and White Zetsu to keep searching for the woman who had killed their White Zetsu and said he would use Danzo to further the Uchiha extermination plan.
• Black Zetsu and Obito failed to locate the woman despite sending thousands of White Zetsu into Konoha, and they suspected she possessed a space-type Mangekyō Sharingan.

• Uchiha Sanae captured and sealed another dozen White Zetsu, then left Izumi to train with Jump Bugs while she went to confront Root.

• Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shiho agreed to investigate Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Inabi's strange behavior and strengthen the clan's night patrols.

Uchiha Sanae revived the First, Second, and Fourth Hokage to help the Uchiha Clan resist the Third Hokage, who was preparing to destroy them. After hearing Sanae describe Konoha’s abuses, Tobirama and Minato left to investigate for themselves, while Izumi wondered whether the former Hokage would truly side with the Uchiha.

• Uchiha Sanae used Impure World Reincarnation to revive Senju Hashirama and Namikaze Minato, then told them the Third Hokage was driving the Uchiha Clan toward extermination.
• Sanae told Minato that his son Naruto was eight, isolated and mistreated by the village, and Minato realized Sarutobi Hiruzen had used Naruto as an outlet for Konoha’s anger.

• After Sanae described Konoha’s abuses, Tobirama left to investigate the village, and Minato departed to see Naruto without revealing himself.
• Sanae explained to Izumi that the three former Hokage could help defeat the Third Hokage and separate him from Konoha, but Izumi questioned whether they would support the Uchiha.

Uchiha Sanae explained how her Sharingan awakened through positive emotions while the former Hokage learned of Konoha’s impending attack on the Uchiha. She urged Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, and Namikaze Minato to stay hidden until she gave the signal to act against Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō.

• Uchiha Sanae told Uchiha Izumi and Senju Hashirama that the former Hokage would defend Konoha and oppose the Third Hokage’s harmful policies.
• Uchiha Sanae, Uchiha Izumi, and Senju Hashirama cleaned the basement, and Hashirama used Wood Release to make furniture while Senju Tobirama watched in disbelief.

• Namikaze Minato returned after surveying Konoha and warned that Anbu and Root planned a major move against the Uchiha that night.

• Uchiha Sanae said Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō had to be removed and ordered the three former Hokage to wait for her signal before acting.

Uchiha Sanae prepared the others for a plan to end the crisis that night, assigning Uchiha Izumi to protect her family and asking Namikaze Minato to hold off the masked Uchiha. As the group rested, Minato questioned the strange circumstances of his resurrection, while Orochimaru completed surgery on Shimura Danzō, who planned to recover and send Orochimaru away.

• Uchiha Sanae secured Senju Tobirama's agreement to follow her plan and asked Namikaze Minato to keep the masked Uchiha occupied during the night's operation.
• Uchiha Sanae told Uchiha Izumi to gather and protect her family after sunset, summoning the Giant Insect Combat Squad if danger arose.
• Senju Tobirama explained to Senju Hashirama that he trusted Uchiha Sanae's sincerity and believed Konoha's younger generation should make the decisions.
• Namikaze Minato confided in Yin Kurama, then questioned how he had been resurrected and why Uchiha Sanae's Mangekyō Sharingan and the broken Dead Demon Consuming Seal did not fit what he knew.
• Orochimaru finished implanting Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan and ten ordinary Sharingan into Shimura Danzō, warning him that recovery would take three days.
• Shimura Danzō told Orochimaru that his promised resources and test subjects were ready and ordered him to leave Konoha after receiving them.

Shimura Danzō recovered from surgery and prepared to attack the Uchiha Clan, while Uchiha Sanae and the others uncovered that the massacre had been delayed because Danzō was injured. After two days of rising tensions, Danzō ordered Yamanaka Fū to launch the operation with Uchiha Itachi, leaving the Uchiha Clan facing imminent destruction.

• Shimura Danzō postponed his plans until his body recovered and arranged to seal his new Sharingan arm.
• Orochimaru returned to Konoha, learned from Yakushi Kabuto that Danzō was targeting the Uchiha Clan, and decided to observe the coming events.
• The Uchiha Clan gathered in its compound, but the expected massacre did not happen because Root launched no large-scale operation.
• Uchiha Sanae and Senju Tobirama concluded that Danzō's injury had delayed the attack and that Sarutobi Hiruzen's support for the policies had to be addressed.
• Over the next two days, Root and the Uchiha clashed as rumors of rebellion spread, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's efforts to calm the village worsened tensions.
• Shimura Danzō met with Uchiha Itachi, then ordered Yamanaka Fū to cooperate with Itachi and attack the Uchiha Clan that night.
