Chapter Summaries

Orochihime revealed that she was pregnant with Mitsuki, a child created from her own genes and spirit, and the Advents debated how to protect and raise him. Otsutsuki Hagoromo watched their close-knit group and, despite their unsettling eccentricities, felt tempted to join them.

• Orochihime explained that she conceived a version of herself using her own body, Orochimaru's genes, and a spirit body.
• Orochihime named the child Mitsuki and said she hoped to create more children, but Aburame Tetsumaru required Mitsuki's origins to remain confidential.
• The Advents reminded Orochihime that Mitsuki would need an education and proper care, leading her to abandon plans for mass-producing children and settle on having twelve more after him.
• Otsutsuki Hagoromo reflected that his isolation had contributed to his defeat and found himself wanting to join the Advents despite their eccentricities.

After the gathering, Aburame Tetsumaru prepared a mission to open a new Timeline and sent Uchiha Sanae, Hatake Sakumo, and Senju Hashirama into the future. The trio reached their target and created a new Timeline split, while Tetsumaru learned the Dragon Vein needed several days to recover before he resumed his research.

• The Advents exchanged discoveries and coordinated work on the gathering's third day before leaving to check on their Shadow Clones.
• Aburame Tetsumaru continued studying Chakra's destruction in the sun and searching the Kama for its soul-binding function.

Aburame Tetsumaru learned that Dyson Ring construction was slowing as Hell Star’s usable resources ran out, forcing Zenith Civilization to prepare for an energy shortfall and investigate converting Chakra into durable matter. Meanwhile, Otsutsuki Kishiki diverted his legion toward the star system where Otsutsuki Momoshiki died, and Uchiha Sanae and her teammates appeared in Rōran on a timeline seven years earlier.

• Aburame Tetsumaru arrived at the Dyson Ring Central Factory, where Sun Valley warned that construction had reached its limit because Hell Star’s useful metal layers were exhausted.
• Aburame Tetsumaru calculated that energy demand would overtake supply in four months and told Sun Valley to send deceleration data to Grand Yang Fish while he researched Chakra-to-matter conversion.
• Sun Valley demonstrated matter transformed from Chakra, and Aburame Tetsumaru agreed to develop it into material for Umbrella Insect shells.
• Otsutsuki Kishiki concluded that the star system containing the Shinobi World showed signs of Autonomous Star Sealing, so he led his legion toward the star system where Otsutsuki Momoshiki died instead.
• Uchiha Sanae and her teammates appeared in the desert of Rōran seven years before the Fourth Shinobi World War and used insects, spores, and Wood Release plants to gather intelligence.

Uchiha Sanae, Senju Hashirama, and Hatake Sakumo established a Mother Hive in the Land of Fire and planned to counter the Infinite Tsukuyomi with Hashirama’s Golden Spores. In Konoha, Tsunade awoke, reclaimed the Hokage’s authority, and discovered that identical pollen was making every tree bloom, warning that it signaled a large-scale technique.

• Uchiha Sanae chose the Land of Fire as a place to raise insects, and two days later the trio began operating a Mother Hive on the southern coast.

• Tsunade pointed out that every tree in Konoha was blooming with flowers that released the same overpowering fragrance, and she identified the identical pollen as evidence of a large-scale technique.

Tsunade investigated the village-wide Wood Release phenomenon while Konoha's leaders struggled with the village's weakened state. After his companions urged him to lead the Shinobi World with Zenith Civilization's support, Senju Hashirama accepted the responsibility and turned his attention to Konoha.

• Tsunade ordered Mitokado Homura to investigate the Wood Release technique that had made Konoha's trees bloom, and Nara Yoshikawa organized the search.

• Senju Hashirama committed to leading the Shinobi World and declared that Konoha's Hokage had returned.

Uchiha Sanae’s team observed the Five Kage meeting as the leaders discovered golden pollen had spread across the Shinobi World, though they could not determine whether it was harmful. Meanwhile, Otsutsuki Kaguya returned to the Original Timeline with the complete Ten-Tails, leaving Torch Dragon to study the Dragon Vein’s captured information.

• Uchiha Sanae agreed that Senju Hashirama could beat up the Fourth Raikage after the crisis, and Senju Hashirama and Hatake Sakumo began planning how to do it.
• At the Five Kage meeting, Tsunade revealed that trees across the Shinobi World had blossomed and produced identical golden pollen that insects and birds avoided.
• The Kage learned that the pollen was not poisonous, but Tsunade could not prove it was harmless, so she advised warning ninjas and preparing antidotes.
• The Kage ended the meeting and returned to prepare for war against Akatsuki, treating it as a more immediate threat than the pollen.
• Otsutsuki Kaguya returned to the Original Timeline after opening a new Timeline and bringing back the intact Ten-Tails from a thousand years ago.

• The Fourth Raikage demanded an explanation from Konoha, then charged at Tsunade and was incapacitated when Hashirama drained his Chakra with Wood Release.
• Madara declared himself the strongest in the Shinobi World, and Hashirama warned him he would regret it.
• Hashirama and Madara unleashed a tremendous clash that split the earth, lifted debris into the air, and ended in a blinding explosion.

Otsutsuki Kaguya used repeated electric shocks to awaken Otsutsuki Hamura’s failing spirit, while Senju Hashirama and his allies overwhelmed Uchiha Madara on the battlefield. The chapter left Madara beaten under a three-on-one assault as the Shinobi Allied Forces watched in fear.

• Otsutsuki Kaguya repeatedly shocked Otsutsuki Hamura to restore his consciousness after his spirit began collapsing because his descendants’ name change destabilized his sense of self.
• Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara fought at Six Paths level, but Hashirama gained an advantage from the Satellite Insect Swarm’s positioning support.

• Uchiha Sanae, Hatake Sakumo, and Senju Hashirama dismantled Madara’s armored Susanoo and Limbo Phantom, then beat him until he could barely raise his head.

Uchiha Madara was overwhelmed by Senju Hashirama, Hatake Sakumo, and Uchiha Sanae, then surrendered after Zenith Civilization repeatedly resurrected him and forced him to submit. With Madara defeated, Hashirama announced that Zenith Civilization would rule the Shinobi World and gradually abolish the ninja villages, as the Timeline began moving beyond the main line.

• The Ancient Trees and Jupiter detected a gigantic Otsutsuki Dwarf Planet heading toward the Tree Herder Galaxy and sent the warning to Six-String Star.
• Zenith Civilization chose Hyuga Hinata, Aburame Tetsumaru, Warhammer, Supernova, and Eighth Master for the defense and began resupplying their warships for the coming battle.

The Zenith Civilization detected the Otsutsuki's enormous puppet Dwarf Planet approaching the Six-String Star System and planned a coordinated defense led by Warhammer. The Otsutsuki survived a damaging magnetic storm during their stellar slingshot, but their crippled Dwarf Planet continued toward the system.

• Otsutsuki Kishiki guided the puppet Dwarf Planet through the Tree Herder Galaxy, while the Ancient Trees chose not to interfere.
• Katsuyu and Jupiter identified the approaching Dwarf Planet, and Aburame Tetsumaru assigned Warhammer to attack it in open space.
• Warhammer proposed matching the Dwarf Planet's velocity and striking it continuously; the Advents finalized their battle positions and preparations.
• Katsuyu estimated that the Dwarf Planet would reach Six-String Star in thirty-four days, and the Advents ended their meeting with a pledge of certain victory.
• After Otsutsuki Kishiki cast the Dwarf Planet's core into a star, a magnetic storm tore open massive cracks and severely damaged the structure.
• Otsutsuki Kishiki and the other Otsutsuki spent five days stabilizing the Dwarf Planet and then gathered to assess their losses.

Otsutsuki Kishiki recounted the Otsutsuki Clan’s past war losses, organized the forces aboard their Dwarf Planet, and pursued a fleeing target. The target, the Supernova, transformed and fired a Gamma Ray Burst that engulfed the Dwarf Planet.

• Otsutsuki Kishiki tallied the damaged and lost puppets, ordered the clan to rest and recover wreckage, and warned the younger Otsutsuki about the Erduo Civilization war.
• One month later, Otsutsuki Kishiki had the Otsutsuki repair 1.5 billion puppets and organized them into seven squads led by captains.
• An Otsutsuki scout spotted a fleeing target, and Otsutsuki Kishiki prepared his Ten-Tails God Tree to attack once it came within range.
• Warhammer transformed the Supernova into a twelve-armed starfish and unleashed a Gamma Ray Burst toward the Dwarf Planet.
• The Gamma Ray Burst struck the Dwarf Planet, making it glow as its rock puppets absorbed much of the energy and began to vaporize and explode.

Warhammer battered the Otsutsuki-built Dwarf Planet with alternating Gamma Ray Bursts and high-frequency gravitational-wave attacks, destroying God Trees and stripping carbon and silicon from the planet. After thirty-six attacks weakened its structure, Warhammer prepared an all-out strike to deliver the Dwarf Planet a fatal blow.

• The first Gamma Ray Burst devastated the sunward God Trees and Kishiki's Ten-Tails, leaving seven Otsutsuki unconscious after their God Trees were destroyed.
• Otsutsuki Kishiki ordered the others to move their God Trees into independent spaces, while the Otsutsuki began suffering bodily damage from Warhammer's carbon-extracting gravitational-wave attack.
• Warhammer launched another Gamma Ray Burst, which carbon in the attack path slowed and transformed into a destructive barrage that struck the Dwarf Planet.
• Warhammer alternated gravitational-wave sweeps with Gamma Ray Bursts thirty-six times, turning the Dwarf Planet into a porous mass and filling its central cavity with molten metals.
• Warhammer unleashed his Chakra through the Supernova, manifesting a phantom Magnetar behind it as he began an unprotected, all-out blast.

Warhammer’s Gamma Ray attack destroyed the Dwarf Planet, forcing Otsutsuki Kishiki and the surviving Otsutsuki to hide among the wreckage and plan their escape. As they traveled toward the Supreme Ruler, an invisible massive celestial body began warping spacetime nearby.

• Warhammer’s attack turned the Dwarf Planet’s matter into a high-energy particle stream that struck its core and shattered the planet.
• Otsutsuki Kishiki ordered the survivors to gather their remaining puppets into disguised fragments and flee toward the Supreme Ruler.
• Kishiki reassured the Otsutsuki by recounting their past wars and insisting that the Clan could still win.
• The Otsutsuki gathered a little over twenty million puppets, then stopped building more to avoid drawing attention.
• Kishiki and the other Otsutsuki detected spacetime distortion from an approaching rocky planet, but could not see the celestial body.

The Planet Fortress revealed itself and drew the dwarf planet fragments into an ambush zone, where Hyuga Hinata used Reincarnation to unleash an immense Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion. The twenty-two Otsutsuki escaped the sword light and fled, leaving the Zenith Civilization aware of their movements.

• The Planet Fortress dropped its concealment and used its Virtual Black Hole to pull the dwarf planet fragments away from the Six-String Star and toward the ambush zone.
• Hyuga Hinata stood at the bow of Reincarnation and gathered its Chakra and the power of its two Giant Tenseigan.
• Hinata formed 6,561 Truth-Seeking Orbs into a golden greatsword and fired Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion through the fragment belt.
• Otsutsuki Kishiki ordered the Otsutsuki to run, and the disguised fragment broke apart into rock puppets as the twenty-two Otsutsuki scattered.
• The sword light pierced tens of thousands of kilometers of fragments, while the watching Zenith Civilization personnel observed the Otsutsuki's escapes.

Otsutsuki Kishiki sent the Otsutsuki Clan information about Zenith Civilization, then tried to flee as the spatial trap and Insect Swarm closed around the survivors. Four days later, the remaining Otsutsuki were trapped and hunted, while a failed escape attempt exposed Kishiki to Zenith Civilization’s defenders.

• Otsutsuki Kishiki interrogated and killed an Otsutsuki, then used the victim’s Kama to broadcast his memories about Zenith Civilization to the Otsutsuki Clan.
• Otsutsuki Kishiki realized the battlefield was caught in a spatial loop after his messages returned and fleeing Otsutsuki reappeared or left behind their Kama.
• Eighth Master, Alchemy, and Dragon Heart tunneled the Planet Fortress through the Klein Bottle, and Eighth Master sent elite Knight Bugs to surround the battlefield.
• After four days, the spatial trap collapsed, the Insect Swarm completed its encirclement, and Hyuga Hinata killed an Otsutsuki hiding in debris, bringing Zenith Civilization’s total to thirteen Kama.
• Otsutsuki Kishiki’s Portal was destroyed by a Space Storm when he tried to escape, exposing him to Eighth Master, Aburame Tetsumaru, and Hyuga Hinata.

Aburame Tetsumaru and Zenith Civilization hunted the remaining Otsutsuki across a vast debris field, using deception, information jamming, and expanding insect swarms to flush them out. After one Otsutsuki attacked the cleanup force and was intercepted, Otsutsuki Kyushiki confronted a bloodied figure and unleashed a Divine Technique.

• Otsutsuki Kishiki used clones and space-switching tricks to escape while a clone sacrificed itself to help the pursuers capture another Otsutsuki.
• Aburame Tetsumaru ordered the debris field searched and used false reports over an open channel to unsettle the isolated Otsutsuki.
• Aburame Tetsumaru arranged for billions of Octopus Insects and engineering machines to clear the wreckage, while elite insects took up sentry duty.
• Six days later, the new swarms accelerated the cleanup, and the isolated Otsutsuki grew increasingly anxious.
• On the seventh day, an Otsutsuki emerged and used Planetary Devastation to gather rocks and destroy nearby insects and machines.
• Eighth Master's Knight Bugs smashed the Otsutsuki and his meteor into fragments, but he regenerated and then unleashed Divine Technique: Descending Horse Head Lord at a bloodied figure.

Eighth Master used an Eight Inner Gates bug body and Blood Plague Bugs to kill Otsutsuki Kyushiki, while Hyuga Hinata and Aburame Tetsumaru stood by. After another Otsutsuki was killed, Aburame Tetsumaru offered the remaining Otsutsuki a chance to surrender, and someone asked whether he could guarantee their safety.

• Eighth Master’s blue-flamed bug body pierced Otsutsuki Kyushiki and released Blood Plague Bugs into his body.
• Otsutsuki Kyushiki regenerated and boasted, but Eighth Master revealed that the bugs were consuming him from within.
• Hyuga Hinata arrived, and Eighth Master told Kyushiki he was already dead as the Blood Plague Bugs paralyzed and devoured him.
• Otsutsuki Kyushiki exploded into Blood Plague Bugs, which consumed his body before dying, while Hyuga Hinata killed another Otsutsuki who emerged from the wreckage.
• Aburame Tetsumaru asked over the public channel whether anyone wanted to surrender, and an Otsutsuki asked if surrender would guarantee survival.

Aburame Tetsumaru and the Zenith Civilization defeated the remaining Otsutsuki, while Otsutsuki Kishiki surrendered and was sealed inside a massive stone sphere. After the battle, Tetsumaru and Hyuga Hinata discussed his secret plan to develop a technique that could strip Otsutsuki souls from their bodies.

• Otsutsuki Kishiki surrendered, revealed the locations of the remaining five Otsutsuki, and was granted protection by Aburame Tetsumaru.
• The five Otsutsuki fled into an Insect Swarm encirclement, where Hyuga Hinata, Eighth Master, and their forces captured or killed them.
• Aburame Tetsumaru tracked down the concealed Kishiki, while Eighth Master sent the last Otsutsuki’s memories of the battle to him through a Kama.
• Kishiki emerged from hiding and admitted that the Otsutsuki had behaved strangely, then Tetsumaru sealed him inside a Meteor over one hundred and sixty kilometers wide.
• Hyuga Hinata delivered eight Otsutsuki Kama and told Tetsumaru that Eighth Master was collecting more, while they discussed Tetsumaru’s unfinished Otsutsuki Memory Puppet Stripping Technique.
