Chapter Summaries

Aburame Tetsumaru and Otsutsuki Kaguya cared for the recovering Tailed Beasts while planning to use their traits to evolve Zenith Civilization’s Insect Swarm. After Kaguya lifted the Ten-Tails into the sky, the sight reached Namikaze Minato, who realized how far beyond him Tetsumaru had become and feared the consequences if Tetsumaru ever turned against the world.

• Namikaze Minato accepted that Aburame Tetsumaru effectively ruled the Shinobi World, while Yin Kurama warned that no one could stop him if he turned evil.

Namikaze Minato discovered that the Sage of Six Paths had been communicating with Kurama and learned that Otsutsuki Hagoromo planned to seal his mother, Otsutsuki Kaguya, and erase Aburame Tetsumaru. After secretly preparing through Naruto and exploiting Konoha’s discontent, Hagoromo found an opening to act against Zenith Civilization.

• After four quiet years, Butler relaxed his attention while Zenith Civilization’s leaders pursued Shedding Mortal advancement, giving Otsutsuki Hagoromo the opening he sought.

Otsutsuki Hagoromo failed to persuade Namikaze Minato to oppose Zenith Civilization, so he continued planning a dangerous trap to defeat Aburame Tetsumaru and seal Otsutsuki Kaguya. With Gamamaru’s help, he identified Namikaze Naruto as the Child of Destiny and prepared to include him and Indra in the coming battle.

Otsutsuki Hagoromo appeared at Mount Myoboku, triggering the Zenith Civilization to prepare for a battle that Aburame Tetsumaru had anticipated and planned to meet with Warhammer and Hyuga Hinata. Meanwhile, Kakuzu returned from another Timeline after killing his counterpart, and the chapter ended with Teacher reacting to his blunt account.

• Otsutsuki Hagoromo left the exhausted Toad Sage Gamamaru to rest and visited Namikaze Naruto and Jiraiya at Mount Myoboku, where Shima Sage made them eat insect dishes.

• Teacher sighed after learning that Kakuzu had killed his counterpart again.

Kakuzu, Yoshiro, and the others discussed the risks and limits of traveling through Timelines, while Yoshiro gave up trying to find a counterpart who could not be born in the branches he visited. Senju Hashirama then jumped back sixty-five years to guide himself, Tobirama, Madara, and Izuna, creating a new Timeline Branch as Teacher’s unusual Senjutsu was revealed.

• Teacher warned Kakuzu that eliminating every counterpart would leave him little room for growth, but Kakuzu said he understood himself and preferred killing his other selves.

The Advent finalized a plan to attack Mount Myoboku’s forces, with Hyuga Hinata assigned to devastate the Forest Country battlefield while Warhammer waited at the island. When the battle began, Otsutsuki Hagoromo destroyed the approaching spacecraft and separated Aburame Tetsumaru from Otsutsuki Kaguya, teleporting them away with Reverse Summoning as the Toad Sages took Kaguya elsewhere.

• The Advent planned to have Hyuga Hinata destroy the Forest Country defenses and then support Warhammer against Otsutsuki Hagoromo, while the others waited to join the fight.
• Twenty-seven hours later, Hyuga Hinata reached the Forest Country battlefield, Warhammer waited above the island, and the other Advent concealed themselves nearby.

• Sage Fukasaku and Shima Sage used Reverse Summoning to disappear with Otsutsuki Kaguya.

Namikaze Naruto and Second Pillar charged Otsutsuki Kaguya-hime, but Hyuga Hinata appeared in her place and revealed overwhelming power. After Hinata devastated the battlefield and left only the two youths standing, Otsutsuki Hagoromo arrived too late to stop her, then faced Warhammer’s surprise attack.

• Namikaze Naruto and Second Pillar attacked Otsutsuki Kaguya-hime and seemingly killed her, but Hyuga Hinata appeared and revealed that the encounter was a trap.
• Hyuga Hinata criticized Naruto, Second Pillar, and Jiraiya, then blocked Second Tsuchikage Mu’s Dust Release attack with a Truth-Seeking Orb.
• Hyuga Hinata unleashed two Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion attacks, destroying the battlefield and eliminating the Chakra sources of the Kage and their allies.
• Namikaze Naruto and Second Pillar survived by shielding themselves with Black Receivers, and Second Pillar realized that Hinata had surpassed him again.
• Otsutsuki Hagoromo found Aburame Tetsumaru’s Substitute destroyed and turned to support the other battlefield, but Warhammer attacked him with the Fatherly Love Straight Punch.

Warhammer trapped Otsutsuki Hagoromo in a sealed arena and attacked him with Nuclear Release, then destroyed his staff with a helium flash and provoked him into a furious fistfight. As a supernova-like eruption threatened the Shinobi World, Aburame Tetsumaru watched from afar while the other battles ended with the Advents capturing their enemies and Hinata saving Naruto from fatal chakra depletion.

• Warhammer enraged Otsutsuki Hagoromo with taunts about fatherly love, then sealed him inside a ten-layer spatial barrier and filled the arena with repeated nuclear shockwaves.
• Warhammer stopped the nuclear attack when both fighters neared their limits, but Hagoromo gained the upper hand in their staff-and-taijutsu exchange.
• Warhammer pressed Nuclear Release: Helium Flash against Hagoromo's staff, disintegrating it, then taunted him as his father and threw the unstable sphere at him.
• The helium flash erupted into a supernova-like blast, which the Ten Walls contained; Aburame Tetsumaru watched and warned that Warhammer could not safely fight on inhabited planets.
• Hyuga Hinata and the Advents subdued the enemies in her battlefield, while Uchiha Itachi defeated Sasuke with genjutsu and Hinata knocked Naruto unconscious to prevent him dying from depleted Nine-Tails Chakra.

• Hyuga Hinata sealed the Nine-Tails' Chakra back into Namikaze Naruto, sent him to the Floating Fortress, and left the choice of replacing his body to his parents.
• Hyuga Hinata traveled to the northeastern naval battlefield, where Aburame Tetsumaru and Otsutsuki Kaguya sensed danger from the Ten Walls Arena.
• Warhammer contained the Arena's Plasma-Quark Soup eruption, while Otsutsuki Hagoromo survived the blast but suffered severe Chakra damage.
• Otsutsuki Kaguya moved to attack Hagoromo, but Aburame Tetsumaru restrained her and asked Hyuga Hinata to disrupt Hagoromo's connection to the Pure Land first.
• Hyuga Hinata struck Hagoromo with Tenseigan Chakra, and Aburame Tetsumaru and Otsutsuki Kaguya attacked him before he could recover.
• Otsutsuki Hagoromo tried to flee into the Pure Land, but it rejected him, and Warhammer led Hyuga Hinata away as Kaguya and Tetsumaru closed in.

Aburame Tetsumaru and Otsutsuki Kaguya beat Otsutsuki Hagoromo until his Rinnegan and Tenseigan Chakra fused into a new life-and-death attribute. After Hagoromo passed out, Kaguya agreed to let Zenith Civilization study him before carrying out his punishment, and they brought him to the Second Space Station.

• The Advents discussed Aburame Tetsumaru's mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique and resolved to commit to a single path of power.

• Aburame Tetsumaru left with Otsutsuki Kaguya, and Grand Yang Fish persuaded the Advents to raise the contribution value for battlefield cleanup after Tetsumaru’s disruptive return.
• Politician informed Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina about Naruto’s condition, and Kushina visited him at Uzumaki Medical Laboratory to review his treatment options.
• Minato and Kushina chose body replacement treatment for Naruto, while Zenith Civilization required Konoha to imprison Jiraiya and planned to restrict Mount Myoboku and study its techniques.
• Naruto began a three-week treatment with help from Tsunade, while Ryūchi Cave’s great snakes recovered from the battle’s tremors and gathered to discuss what had happened.
• The White Snake Sage identified the Sage of Six Paths and Otsutsuki Kaguya as participants in the battle and revealed that a stranger had nearly destroyed the Shinobi World.

• Politician used Shinra Tensei to devastate Ryūchi Cave, killing most of its snakes and incapacitating the Snake Sages.
• The White Snake Sage surrendered unconditionally, ending Ryūchi Cave’s independence.

Zenith Civilization completed its takeover of Ryūchi Cave, while Politician revealed that Mount Myoboku had been destroyed and Gamamaru captured for exploitation even after death. Aburame Tetsumaru explained to Otsutsuki Kaguya that people had rebelled because she protected them too well, leaving her to reflect on human nature.

• The White Snake Sage accepted that resistance was futile, as the Shinobi World entered a new stage under Zenith Civilization's rule.
• Otsutsuki Kaguya questioned why people had opposed her despite her efforts to protect them, and Aburame Tetsumaru explained how excessive kindness bred entitlement and resentment.

Aburame Tetsumaru explained to Otsutsuki Kaguya why Zenith Civilization was developing and managing the Shinobi World before eventually withdrawing, then reassured her that she was his true partner. As Kunlun Mountain arrived above the Tree Herder homeworld, Treasure Tree recognized the danger Aburame Tetsumaru posed and decided to seek his cooperation in concealing it from the other Ancient Trees.

• Aburame Tetsumaru told Otsutsuki Kaguya that Zenith Civilization was building up the Shinobi World to cultivate more talent and would later leave behind a Heavenly Ladder before withdrawing.
• Otsutsuki Kaguya feared Aburame Tetsumaru would abandon her when she was no longer useful, so he held her and explained that she was his partner and that the Celestials shared his ideals.
• Aburame Tetsumaru explained that he supported Core Bearers through opportunity and resources while treating the Celestials as trusted companions, and Kaguya bit his arm after becoming frustrated by his explanation.
• Kunlun Mountain entered high orbit above the Third Planet of the Tree Herder Galaxy, where Treasure Tree, War, and Wisdom sensed the powerful beings aboard it.
• Treasure Tree realized Aburame Tetsumaru and the Insect Swarm could surpass an Ancient Tree in combat efficiency, but he feared the revelation would shatter the other Ancient Trees' worldviews.
• Treasure Tree decided to contact Zenith Civilization in advance and ask its people to help conceal the danger from the other Ancient Trees.

Aburame Tetsumaru met with Treasure Tree and formed an alliance between the Zenith Civilization and the Tree Shepherd Civilization against the Otsutsuki Clan. After a period of military and scientific exchange, Treasure Tree considered introducing insects to the Tree Herder forest, opening new negotiations and access to the Second Planet’s resources.

• Aburame Tetsumaru tried to enter Treasure Tree’s mind, suffered mental disorientation, and then traveled with Otsutsuki Kaguya to meet him in person.
• Treasure Tree explained that the Otsutsuki Clan had gathered in large numbers, and Aburame Tetsumaru agreed to ally the Zenith Civilization with the Tree Shepherd Civilization against them.
• Aburame Tetsumaru and Treasure Tree negotiated troop deployments, recognition signals, and permission for the Zenith Civilization to mine ore and build defenses in the Tree Herder Galaxy.
• The Tree Herders and Zenith Civilization exchanged visits and demonstrations, while Aburame Tetsumaru studied the Ancient Trees’ true bodies and the Tree Herders saw his Psychokinesis and Insect Swarm.
• Treasure Tree considered bringing insects into the Tree Herder forest, prompting further talks and increased access to the Second Planet’s resources for the Zenith Civilization.

Katsuyu and Jupiter tested whether the Zenith Civilization’s production insects could restore the Tree Herders’ damaged forest ecosystem, while Aburame Tetsumaru returned to the Shinobi World as Konoha welcomed Uchiha Itachi as its Fifth Hokage. Itachi began reforming Konoha and integrating it into the Zenith-led Shinobi World, where he aimed to raise the village to second place.

• Katsuyu and Jupiter confirmed that the Tree Herders’ eradication of insects and herbivores had disrupted the forest food chain, and Jupiter released production insects into an isolated test forest.
• The test forest regained vitality within months, with widespread flowering and fruiting, so the Ancient Trees sealed the site for a year to check whether the recovery would last.
• Aburame Tetsumaru left the Tree Herder Civilization and returned to the Shinobi World after the negotiations had settled, while Katsuyu stayed behind and Jupiter resumed work on the Heavenly Transfer Gate.
• Namikaze Minato retired in Konoha Year 65, and Uchiha Itachi became the Fifth Hokage after defeating Hatake Kakashi; Uchiha Sanae later explained her Fourth-Dimensional vision to him.

Aburame Tetsumaru visited the rapidly growing capital Haojing and prepared to activate the Customs System while Uchiha Itachi confronted Konoha’s uncertain future. In deep space, the activation began to exert a faint force on the gathered Advents, though its full purpose remained unknown.

• Aburame Tetsumaru admired Haojing’s explosive development, and he and Weary Bird agreed to abandon the unnecessary space-elevator plan.
• Aburame Tetsumaru told Weary Bird that he would activate the completed Customs System in two days and that everyone would need to witness it in person.
• Uchiha Sanae vowed to earn the fifth Personal Warship, while Uchiha Itachi resolved to consult Cocoon Forger and the returning Senju Hashirama about whether Konoha should continue to exist.
• Aburame Tetsumaru unleashed his Senjutsu Chakra among the Kunlun Mountain, Taihang Mountain, Reincarnation, and Supernova, then formed enormous layers of Sealing Technique runes.
• Butler and the other Advents felt a faint force acting on them in the microgravity of deep space, and Grand Yang Fish announced that the Customs System’s activation had begun.

Aburame Tetsumaru created and sealed a virtual black hole, demonstrating a new source of power for Zenith Civilization. After producing the required black holes, the civilization completed a major relocation to prepare for the danger they posed.

• Aburame Tetsumaru stacked hundreds of millions of Sealing Techniques to create a virtual black hole, whose electromagnetic effects disabled systems across the Shinobi World and endangered nearby Advents.
• Aburame Tetsumaru used Space Sealing and the Customs System to control the black hole, suppress its effects, and seal it away.
• Grand Yang Fish discussed using virtual black holes to power Planet Fortresses and suggested that the fortresses could serve as weapons by colliding with enemy planets.
• Aburame Tetsumaru learned that the Shinobi World's Customs System needed eight virtual black holes and the Planet Fortress needed four more for its core power system.
• Aburame Tetsumaru spent a month creating and sealing the black holes while Zenith Civilization relocated its space station, Heavenly Transfer Gate, laboratories, and Spherical Sea to safer locations.

Aburame Tetsumaru and four powerful allies created a Gravitational Closed-Loop Zone around the Shinobi World, completing Zenith Civilization’s Customs System despite severe planetary disasters. He then discussed with Alchemy how Virtual Black Holes could enable a new industrial revolution, leaving their proposed black hole factory dependent on finding a fully cooled planet.

• Aburame Tetsumaru guided the four observers in opening the seals on eight Virtual Black Holes, whose gravitational collision triggered earthquakes, storms, and other disasters across the Shinobi World.
• Aburame Tetsumaru stabilized the eight gravity sources into a Gravitational Closed-Loop Zone that blocked unauthorized travel through space and time, while Zenith Civilization began rescue operations and monitored the system.
• Warhammer and Otsutsuki Kaguya said they had learned to shape Virtual Black Holes, while Eighth Master and Hyuga Hinata continued studying the technique.
• Eighth Master called Virtual Black Holes a Planet-Killer Weapon, and Alchemy proposed using one to manufacture Monatomic Film Material.
• Aburame Tetsumaru and Alchemy concluded that an industrial black hole would need to be built at the core of a fully cooled planet, with surface control systems and a material-processing factory around it.
• Aburame Tetsumaru described how the factory could compress atomic foils into exceptionally strong materials, potentially beginning the Seventh Industrial Revolution over the coming decades.
