• He decides not to hide all his power. Instead, he plans to let the visitors form a carefully managed impression of his strength, using information they receive from Garp and Kizaru.

• Garp casually pats Kiba hard enough to make him use Substitution Jutsu. He then boasts about training his grandson by throwing him off a cliff as a child, alarming the visitors.
• As the ship approaches Spring Queen City, Garp says they have an important errand before searching for the others. His “urgent” mission turns out to be buying Rainbow Senbei for his friend Sengoku.

Character developments and interactions

• Longinus is shown as formidable but strategic: he understands his own limitations and plans to manipulate what the visitors believe rather than conceal everything.
• The ninja visitors are increasingly unsettled by the scale and power of the new world. Sasuke remains confident in Amaterasu, but even he is shaken by the Sea Kings’ numbers and size; Kakashi and Darui worry about how their world would fare in a conflict.

Sasuke warns that Madara and the Ten-Tails could destroy both worlds, but the group’s hosts seem unconcerned. A disguised rebel, Cannis, attacks Admiral Kizaru, expecting Armament Haki to overcome his Logia powers. Kizaru regenerates from the cuts and kills Cannis with a laser. The incident alarms the shinobi, who realize how difficult he may be to fight. Kizaru sends Rear Admiral Bamund to show them Spring Queen City. During the tour, Bamund explains that his planet joined the United Government after its people overthrew the empire. He insists their world is a paradise and begins praising the powerful man who supposedly brought them freedom and prosperity.
• Character developments: Sasuke’s urgency and distrust sharpen as he fears the search is being treated too casually. Bamund reveals himself as a former imperial loyalist turned enthusiastic supporter of the United Government. Cannis, convinced he is acting to save the shinobi, discovers that his knowledge of Haki is incomplete and dies when his attack fails. Kizaru remains relaxed and seemingly untroubled throughout.
• Character interactions: Kakashi cautions Sasuke against provoking their hosts. The shinobi react with anger and suspicion when Cannis attacks Kizaru, then watch uneasily as Kizaru proves nearly impervious to harm. Sakura and Kakashi question Bamund about the rebels and his change of allegiance; Sasuke bluntly raises the possibility of annexation.
• Themes: The chapter contrasts the shinobi’s firsthand experience of catastrophe with their hosts’ apparent complacency, and questions who gets to define “peace,” “freedom,” and “liberation.” Bamund’s near-religious praise of the unnamed leader also hints that this supposed paradise may conceal a darker reality.

• Madara’s body bursts apart, and Princess Kaguya emerges. Black Zetsu explains that some of her power has gone to another world. Learning that formidable beings—including “gods”—exist there, Kaguya decides to reclaim her power and plant a new Divine Tree.
• At Marineford, Longinus recounts his vision of Kaguya’s return. The gathered ninja and Marines learn that she is immortal and cannot simply be killed.
• The group concludes that Kaguya must be sealed. Longinus identifies the technique used in the past as Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei, which requires two people wielding Yin–Yang Power. But the Sage of Six Paths’s will has been erased, apparently removing the means to obtain that power.
• Sasuke argues that any seal containing Kaguya would need an exceptionally strong, steadfast host. The group’s attention turns to Longinus, whose power, will, and longevity make him the strongest candidate.
• Despite objections from Longinus’s colleagues, the ninja kneel and ask him to accept the burden. Longinus agrees, declaring that he will bear the evil for the future of both worlds.

Character developments and interactions

• Kaguya awakens with her power incomplete. Her fear of the three Otsutsuki and the greater force behind them pushes her toward the dangerous plan to travel to another world.
• Black Zetsu is overjoyed to reunite with his mother, trusts her completely, and suppresses his misgivings to help her.
• Longinus presents himself as willing to take responsibility, while the others look to him as their champion.
• Sasuke takes the lead in analyzing the risks of sealing Kaguya and makes a fervent appeal for Longinus to become her host. Naruto backs the discussion with humor and loyalty, though his lighthearted suggestions do little to reassure the others.
• Shikamaru, Tobirama, and Orochimaru help rule out impractical options, emphasizing that Kaguya’s power makes ordinary defeat or sealing methods inadequate.
• Longinus’s government colleagues protest the proposed sacrifice, while the ninja ultimately express their trust in him.

Significant themes

• Power and responsibility: The story frames Longinus’s strength and authority as reasons he should bear a burden others cannot.
• Trust and loyalty: Black Zetsu’s devotion to Kaguya contrasts with the ninja’s collective faith in Longinus.
• The danger of unchecked power: Kaguya’s plan to reclaim her power threatens both worlds, while the discussion of hosts highlights how easily immense power can become unstable.
• Sacrifice for the common good: The chapter ends with Longinus accepting a potentially perilous role to protect the future.
