Chapter Summaries

Aburame Tetsumaru and Otsutsuki Kaguya confirmed that electromagnetic fields prevented Tailed Beasts from dissolving into Chakra, while matter superposition might let the Ten-Tails briefly escape that restriction. Tetsumaru planned the decisive experiment, but Otsutsuki Hagoromo interrupted their work and was punished again.

• Otsutsuki Kaguya disciplined Otsutsuki Hagoromo with Aburame Tetsumaru’s nearly indestructible bamboo strip while Tetsumaru watched.
• Aburame Tetsumaru and Otsutsuki Kaguya completed their experiments and concluded that electromagnetic fields locked Chakra Particles in place, preventing Tailed Beasts from dissolving into Chakra.
• Aburame Tetsumaru explained that matter superposition could briefly push matter beyond the limits imposed by the Pauli Exclusion Principle, potentially giving the Ten-Tails time to release its Chakra.
• Aburame Tetsumaru scheduled a test for the next day to see whether the Ten-Tails could become a Chakra Particle stream while retaining its electromagnetic field.
• After three days without being beaten, Otsutsuki Hagoromo and his younger brother snuck into the central ecological chamber and interrupted Tetsumaru and Kaguya at work.
• Aburame Tetsumaru and Otsutsuki Kaguya both seized rulers and began a painful double beating of Otsutsuki Hagoromo.

Aburame Tetsumaru made Otsutsuki Hagoromo experience unbearable phantom pain, then oversaw an experiment that successfully gave Otsutsuki Kaguya the Ten-Tails' Electromagnetic Field System. The chapter ended with Tetsumaru asking the terrified Hagoromo how he had created the Tailed Beasts.

• Aburame Tetsumaru used layered phantom pain to make Otsutsuki Hagoromo suffer and fear him.
• Aburame Tetsumaru prepared the Matter Superposition Activation Device as Zenith Civilization sought equipment to replace Bio-Armor for its strongest Advents.
• Otsutsuki Kaguya activated the device and recalled the Ten-Tails, which successfully dissociated into Chakra Particles and entered her body.
• Otsutsuki Kaguya gained the Electromagnetic Field System, greatly strengthening her defense and her hair while disabling her Rabbit-Hair Needles.
• Aburame Tetsumaru questioned the frightened Otsutsuki Hagoromo about how he had created the Tailed Beasts.

Aburame Tetsumaru secured a temporary alliance with Treasure Tree and the Tree Shepherd Civilization, agreeing to help them leave their planets and eventually their star system in exchange for their support against the Otsutsuki Clan. Back on Kunlun Mountain, he discussed the limits of planetary power with Otsutsuki Kaguya and Katsuyu, who realized that moving a planet required distorting space rather than manipulating matter within it.

• Aburame Tetsumaru and Treasure Tree negotiated for three months and agreed that the Tree Shepherd Civilization would join Zenith Civilization against the Otsutsuki Clan.
• Treasure Tree secured Zenith Civilization's help in freeing the Ancient Trees' true bodies from their planets and helping the Tree Shepherd Civilization leave its star system after the Eighth Ancient Tree was born.
• Aburame Tetsumaru returned to Kunlun Mountain, where Otsutsuki Kaguya and Katsuyu discussed Kaguya's successful entry into a star and Katsuyu's refusal to try it.
• Aburame Tetsumaru explained that moving a planet required an external point of force or the distortion of space, and Otsutsuki Kaguya ruled out using electromagnetic force to pull another celestial body.
• Aburame Tetsumaru concluded that planetary movement required turning the planet into a spaceship, and he cited the Otsutsuki Civilization's past use of immense energy to distort space and move stars.

Aburame Tetsumaru talked Otsutsuki Kaguya and Katsuyu out of trying to control a Planet Fortress and helped them design smaller Personal Warships suited to their abilities. Their designs were named the Heavenly Pool and the Shikkotsu Forest, with Katsuyu’s sturdy ship able to fight by ramming.

• The chapter explained how Planet Fortresses used Virtual Black Hole engines and why their immense mass and structural limits kept them slow.
• Otsutsuki Kaguya and Katsuyu considered taking Planet Fortresses as personal mounts, but Aburame Tetsumaru explained the control difficulties, maintenance burden, and risks.
• Aburame Tetsumaru persuaded the two to design Personal Warships instead, and Otsutsuki Kaguya chose a support vessel that could accompany and merge with the Kunlun Mountain.
• Otsutsuki Kaguya named her weaponless, power-enhancing warship the Heavenly Pool, which would let her use abilities such as All-Killing Ash Bones on a much larger scale.
• Katsuyu designed the Shikkotsu Forest as a fast, defensive, self-navigating home filled with trees, and Otsutsuki Kaguya suggested that its tough hull could attack by ramming.

Katsuyu and Otsutsuki Kaguya learned that Zenith Civilization had rushed to connect the Space Grid after a productivity boom created a dangerous surplus of materials and energy. Tetsumaru explained the grid’s limitations and the civilization’s unresolved timekeeping problems as the group prepared to return to the Shinobi World.

• Katsuyu excitedly rolled around inside the Kunlun Mountain, and Aburame Tetsumaru shut off simulated gravity to prevent her from damaging the warship.
• Tetsumaru told Otsutsuki Kaguya and Katsuyu that he would stay in the Tree Herder Galaxy for two more months to prepare for Dyson Sphere construction, and Katsuyu chose to return with him afterward.
• Tetsumaru revealed that the Space Grid had cut travel between the Shinobi World and Six-String Star from twenty-nine days to thirty-two minutes, and he explained that Zenith Civilization had accelerated construction to address an economic crisis caused by excess production.
• Tetsumaru described the newly connected route as unreliable and temporary, while explaining that infrastructure Zerg were surveying it for a straighter, durable superhighway.
• Tetsumaru told Otsutsuki Kaguya that future Space Grid routes and Sky-Reaching Pillars could make travel between star systems nearly instantaneous for travelers, though outside observers would still measure time passing.
• Otsutsuki Kaguya listened as Tetsumaru explained that faster-than-light travel complicated timekeeping, which Zenith Civilization could only address for now through temporary clock corrections based on the Shinobi World.

Aburame Tetsumaru returned to the Shinobi World and discovered that the Celestial Gales system had been completed around the planet. He learned that Torch Dragon was investigating strange temporal ripples that disrupted satellites, and Torch Dragon began considering how different higher-dimensional perceptions might explain them.

• Aburame Tetsumaru returned to the space station aboard the enlarged Kunlun Mountain and found the Shinobi World hidden behind the newly built Celestial Gales system.
• Otsutsuki Kaguya and Katsuyu sensed the spatial folds, while Aburame Tetsumaru explained that Zenith Civilization had upgraded the Customs System to protect inhabited planets.
• Aburame Tetsumaru agreed with Teacher to gradually replace the writing systems of the Shinobi World, Erduo, and Six-String Star with Chinese through future selection examinations.
• Aburame Tetsumaru observed that the Celestial Gales system still revealed the Shinobi World through its gravitational field and faint distortion of light.
• Torch Dragon appeared and asked about how his time concealment looked from a Higher Dimension; Aburame Tetsumaru, Katsuyu, and Otsutsuki Kaguya described different visions.
• Torch Dragon explained that temporal ripples above the Celestial Gales had accelerated time near the planet, disrupting elliptical-orbit satellites, so the Advents replaced them with satellites in circular orbits.

Torch Dragon discovered a massive star approaching through a spacetime fold and calculated that it would arrive in five years, prompting Aburame Tetsumaru to consider the Zenith Civilization’s future after defeating the Otsutsuki Clan. Worried that victory without a powerful enemy would leave the civilization complacent, they decided the Interstellar Universe might be their next adversary.

• Torch Dragon developed a time-hiding technique from studying time ripples, but three Stellar beings told him it made him more conspicuous to them.
• Torch Dragon told Aburame Tetsumaru about an accelerating spacetime fold and shared data that let him calculate the approaching star would arrive in five years.
• Aburame Tetsumaru concluded that the Zenith Civilization could achieve total victory over the Otsutsuki Clan by then, but worried that a lack of external threats would lead its members to stagnate.
• Aburame Tetsumaru and Torch Dragon discussed the need for a genuine, powerful enemy to keep the civilization striving after the Otsutsuki Clan’s defeat.
• Torch Dragon proposed finding an enemy in another universe, and Aburame Tetsumaru identified the Interstellar Universe as their target.
• Aburame Tetsumaru feared the Zenith Civilization would lose such a conflict, but Torch Dragon urged him to trust their Advents and the way war could renew their initiative.

Zenith Civilization planned to enter the Interstellar Universe under a Terran disguise but needed a wormhole large enough to transport its industrial foundation. Torch Dragon’s discovery of three stable black holes near the Shinobi World offered a possible solution and revealed the likely source of the Dragon Vein’s power of time.

• The Advents agreed that Zenith Civilization should pose as a Terran branch, but Aburame Tetsumaru warned that they could not bring enough matter and machinery without a large wormhole.
• Grand Yang Fish concluded that the wormhole needed to fit the Number One transport ship, and Torch Dragon proposed using a natural black hole.
• Torch Dragon had detected a tiny black hole two light-years from the Shinobi World, and Advents including Jupiter confirmed its position and unusual stability.
• Aburame Tetsumaru and Grand Yang Fish supported using the black hole for a wormhole and extreme physics research, while the Advents learned that two more identical black holes orbited the Shinobi World's sun.
• Torch Dragon realized that the three black holes' gravitational waves likely caused the Dragon Vein's power of time, and the Advents anticipated that mastering time could let Zenith Civilization approach a black hole.

Aburame Tetsumaru explained the Stellar Array’s origins and how the Zenith Civilization had turned it into a network of Stellar Cannons aimed at the approaching Otsutsuki. He revealed that the enemy would reach an ideal attack position in 1,660 days, leaving the Advents with a confirmed start date for the war.

• Aburame Tetsumaru connected the artificial-looking Stellar Array to the ancient war between the Otsutsuki Civilization and the Consciousness Civilization and described it as a former stockpile of stellar ammunition.
• The Stellar Advents completed Stellar Cannons on sixteen of the array’s twenty-six stars, restarting many projects as their technology advanced.
• Aburame Tetsumaru revealed a countdown of 1,660 days and identified the enemy’s predicted position beyond the Tree Herder Galaxy.
• Aburame Tetsumaru explained that the Otsutsuki would briefly appear stationary for forty-eight hours while correcting their course, giving the Zenith Civilization an ideal opportunity to attack with Gamma Ray Bursts.

The Zenith Civilization finalized its preparations to fight the Otsutsuki Clan, while Aburame Tetsumaru reflected on the risks and the future of the universe. In the Interstellar Universe, Cannon became increasingly worried that Terran political fragmentation would destroy the technological system he hoped to learn from.

• Aburame Tetsumaru assigned Eighth Master and Warhammer to rear ambush positions, and both asked to join the first large-scale transfer to the Interstellar Universe.
• Aburame Tetsumaru considered the Otsutsuki Clan's hidden resources and the possibility that the Consciousness Civilization was secretly observing the coming war, but chose an open battle over infiltrating the Otsutsuki Homeworld.
• After three years of preparation, Eighth Master and Warhammer had concealed themselves near the battlefield, and twenty-one Stars had completed their Stellar Cannons.
• Cannon gained a place in the Terran academy of sciences but found its technological permissions restricted by entrenched factions and seniority rules.
• Cannon condemned the Terrans' feudal power structure and declining industry, then told Uchiha Itachi he feared their technological system would collapse before he could learn from it.

Aburame Tetsumaru drew on eleven years of combat experience and exploited the Terran military’s corruption and the Zerg Dominator’s rigid routines to survive and infiltrate the Dominator’s body. With four thousand unstable Vacuum Implosion Bombs planted inside, he needed to locate the Dominator’s thought core before they detonated and prepare to steal it.

• Aburame Tetsumaru recalled how battlefield experience taught him to favor powerful weapons, and he modified a Sixty Smoothbore Cannon to kill Zerg efficiently.
• Aburame Tetsumaru survived as a company commander by using his tactical expertise to guide larger campaigns and protect his own Marines, despite being blocked from promotion by Terran factionalism.
• Aburame Tetsumaru exploited the Dominator’s rigid routines and concealed its three infiltrating thought cores among newly born bugs, gradually gaining access to its body.
• Aburame Tetsumaru identified an antimatter transport channel inside the Dominator and spent four years manufacturing four thousand Vacuum Implosion Bombs there.
• Aburame Tetsumaru resolved to find the Dominator’s thought core and prepare to steal it before the unstable bombs could explode on their own.

Aburame Tetsumaru discovered that the Dominator had moved its brain near his unstable vacuum implosion bombs, forcing him to choose between delaying the attack and risking their accidental detonation. When the Dominator began expanding, he ordered the plan launched and detonated a powerful bomb, leaving his surviving incarnations to face the weakened Insect Swarm and try to reach the Dominator’s memories.

• Aburame Tetsumaru realized that the Dominator’s brain had been moved near his buried bombs, making the planned attack likely to destroy the genetic data he wanted.
• Aburame Tetsumaru’s mind cores debated delaying the attack to build more bombs, but the risk of the unstable devices detonating on their own remained high.
• When the Dominator’s body began trembling as it expanded, Marine Aburame Tetsumaru ordered the operation to begin immediately.
• Three Aburame Tetsumarus inside the Dominator agreed to launch the attack, and two raced toward safety while another prepared the detonator.
• Aburame Tetsumaru, disguised as a Viper, detonated the special bomb inside an Overseer, triggering the buried bombs and damaging the Dominator.
• Aburame Tetsumaru told Otsutsuki Kaguya that Mind Core Number Fifty-Eight was gone and prepared for the battle to reach the Dominator’s brain.

Aburame Tetsumaru’s bombs devastated the Dominator, leaving it badly injured and distracted while two of his external bodies attacked its heart and brain. The Dominator’s brain fused with one body and dragged Tetsumaru’s unified consciousness into a battle it could not hope to win.

• The trigger bomb’s antiproton reaction destroyed the Eye Bug and unleashed radiation that damaged the Dominator and set off more than four thousand bombs buried in its body.
• The explosions shattered much of the Dominator’s body, concussed it, and forced it to order its guards to defend its vital areas.
• Two Aburame Tetsumaru external bodies disguised themselves as Zerg and attacked the Dominator’s heart and brain while its attention was divided.
• The body attacking the heart found the ventricle’s many pumping structures intact and began damaging them to draw the Dominator’s attention.
• The other Aburame Tetsumaru body entered the Dominator’s brain, where its cells fused with him and prevented his escape.
• The Dominator’s brain pulled Aburame Tetsumaru’s connected thought cores into the struggle, unaware that his spiritual power and Civilization Mentor made him an overwhelming opponent.

Aburame Tetsumaru fought the Zerg Dominator in a soul-linked data clash and nearly died under the flood of Zerg genetic information. After using the Zenith Civilization’s industrial stores of intelligent living matter to expand his memory capacity, he overwhelmed the Dominator with philosophy and fabricated fiction, killing it and leaving the Zerg Swarms without their leader.

• The Dominator’s attempt to evolve into a Brain Bug intensified the battle as it and Aburame Tetsumaru exchanged spiritual attacks and data bombs.
• Aburame Tetsumaru’s body was digested, but their soul link persisted, and the Dominator’s genetic database threatened to overwhelm his memory.
• Aburame Tetsumaru brought Otsutsuki Kaguya to the Dyson Sphere and used its hundred million tons of intelligent living matter to store and process the incoming information.
• After stabilizing, Aburame Tetsumaru retaliated with philosophy, literature, and hundreds of millions of generated novels, comics, and movies.
• The Dominator failed to sever the soul link and died when Marine Aburame Tetsumaru set foot on the planet.

Aburame Tetsumaru survived the Dominator’s final information attack and immersed himself in its memories while Zenith Civilization prepared for the Otsutsuki Clan’s arrival. Turing and Torch Dragon detected a major course change, revealing that the enemy would reach the designated battlefield in five days, while Aburame Tetsumaru remained unconscious.

• The Dominator’s information bomb knocked Aburame Tetsumaru unconscious, but he survived and began studying the Dominator’s evolutionary data and memories.
• Aburame Tetsumaru confirmed that Zenith Civilization’s leaders and defenses were in place while he focused on the Dominator’s experiences.
• Torch Dragon sent Time Ripple data to the Star Sea Hall, where Turing detected that the enemy’s trajectory had deviated by thirty percent.
• Turing and Jupiter explained that the enemy’s immense course change demonstrated its ability to defend against long-range attacks.
• Eighth Master ordered intelligence stations near the enemy to return to normal space and monitor its route.
• The Advents calculated that the enemy would reach the designated battlefield in five days, while Aburame Tetsumaru remained asleep.

As the Zenith Civilization prepared for war, its new Tailed-Beast Bugs threatened to surpass existing Planetary-level combatants, prompting Ōtsutsuki Kaguya to commit herself to the coming battle and her future. Meanwhile, Aburame Tetsumaru uncovered how the Dominator created high-energy matter and strengthened its soul, and recognized a mysterious process that felt strangely familiar.

• The Zenith Civilization redirected its Dyson Sphere’s output toward war production, while Jupiter’s facilities produced Tailed-Beast Bugs powerful enough to destroy planets.
• Ōtsutsuki Kaguya felt threatened by the growing power of manufactured weapons and resolved to fight in the Tree Herder Galaxy to secure her freedom and future.
• Ōtsutsuki Kaguya left Aburame Tetsumaru in a clone’s care and departed for her combat duties as he continued experiencing the Dominator’s evolution.
• Aburame Tetsumaru realized the Dominator used matter stacking and powerful magnetic fields to create and sustain high-energy matter, explaining how his external body had died in its heart.
• Aburame Tetsumaru observed the Dominator use electromagnetic vortices and neutron impacts to arrange unknown particles in its soul, a method that seemed familiar despite his certainty he had never seen it before.

Aburame Tetsumaru’s Zenith Civilization launched a surprise attack on the Otsutsuki Homeworld and the Eukaryotic Civilization, while the enemy counterattacked. After realizing the Dominator’s microscopic magnetic-field arrangements revealed a model involving gluons, Tetsumaru ended his ascension experience and prepared to test whether similar collisions could produce Chakra Particles.

• Aburame Tetsumaru relinquished command as the Zenith Civilization’s Advents prepared for war, and Hyuga Hinata and Uchiha Sanae coordinated the opening strike.
• The Zenith Civilization fired a Gamma Ray Burst through the Space Interlayer, grazing the Otsutsuki Homeworld and revealing its precise location despite missing the intended target.
• Eighth Master and Warhammer crippled four planets but failed to hit the Otsutsuki Homeworld, while the Eukaryotic Civilization chose to counterattack because retreat and surrender were impossible.
• The Eukaryotic Civilization fired Gamma Ray Bursts at the Zenith Civilization’s stars, but a second Zenith strike pierced the Dyson Sphere and hit the Otsutsuki Homeworld with most of its energy.
• Aburame Tetsumaru recognized gluons in the Dominator’s magnetic-field arrangements, ended the experience, and planned an experiment to see whether reproducing its collision pattern would create Chakra Particles.

The artillery war between the Eukaryotic Civilization and the Zenith Civilization dragged on as the Otsutsuki Clan endured the Chakra Shield’s destructive effects and could not counterattack. When Aburame Tetsumaru returned, he shared a new consciousness-linking method with the Advents, and they decided the discovery justified delaying the advance.

• The Eukaryotic Civilization’s gamma-ray attacks damaged Warhammer and slowed the fighting, while the Otsutsuki Clan’s defenses inflicted destruction on its own homeworld and could not stop the enemy’s stellar attacks.
• Three months into the exchange, the Zenith Civilization’s Advents grew impatient and argued for a decisive assault, but disagreement over tactics kept them from acting.
• Aburame Tetsumaru returned to Star Sea Hall and declared that the long-range artillery exchange should continue for at least another month.
• Aburame Tetsumaru linked the Advents’ consciousnesses through a shared spiritual network, allowing them to exchange knowledge, experience, and skill proficiency.
• After the shared will absorbed a vast amount of information, the Advents unanimously decided that the discovery was worth delaying the war’s advance.

Aburame Tetsumaru and the Advents prepared an Overwrite Beam that could seize control of the Otsutsuki Clan’s Chakra, while Zenith Civilization upgraded its industry and built a colossal Chakra production ring. After deciding to spare and exile the Eukaryotic Civilization while accepting responsibility for the plan, Aburame Tetsumaru watched the ring fire its first beam toward the Otsutsuki.

• Aburame Tetsumaru presented his findings on Chakra Particle ownership and overwrite interfaces, and the Advents rapidly developed ideas for turning them into a weapon.
• Aburame Tetsumaru ordered the Advents to continue bombardment while preparing for a decisive strike in thirty days, and they reduced their attack frequency as the Eukaryotic Civilization repaired its damaged celestial bodies.
• The Advents struggled to build quark-level manufacturing systems and constructed a huge ring-shaped Chakra production device around the Shinobi World Sun.
• The Advents prepared the Overwrite Beam to seize Chakra ownership from the Otsutsuki Clan and collectively decided to spare the Eukaryotic Civilization by exiling it toward the Consciousness Civilization.
• Aburame Tetsumaru took responsibility for the collective decision and ordered the operation to begin, and the ring structure gathered and superposed Chakra Particles into a sixty-kilometer-wide beam.

The Shinobi forces disabled the Otsutsuki Homeworld’s Chakra defenses and began a close-range assault, while Aburame Tetsumaru persuaded Otsutsuki Kaguya to join a risky strike at the planet’s core. Kaguya agreed after punching Tetsumaru when he added a personal condition.

• Uzumaki and Ash Bone argued over their Kekkei Tōta, and Grand Yang Fish told them to focus on defeating the Otsutsuki Clan.
• A Gamma Ray attack struck the Otsutsuki Homeworld after its Chakra Shield failed, killing injured Otsutsuki, and six Planet Fortresses arrived and entered low orbit.
• Otsutsuki Ankō discovered that the enemy had altered Chakra ownership, while Otsutsuki God identified the ability as a power of the Otsutsuki suzerain civilization.
• A beam stripped Chakra control from the Homeworld’s surface defenders, and Aburame Tetsumaru told Otsutsuki Kaguya that her clan had been used as puppets.
• Aburame Tetsumaru proposed that he, Kaguya, and several Advent attack the planet’s core to seize Otsutsuki Civilization’s highest authority.
• Aburame Tetsumaru added that Kaguya would have to listen to him three times after the war, and Kaguya punched him before agreeing.
