Chapter Summaries

Kaedeji defeated the masked Obito and Black Zetsu’s attempt to ambush him, then took Obito’s Mangekyō Sharingan and absorbed Kakashi and the masked man into Formless Tsukuyomi. He left Obito with Black Zetsu and pointed them toward the Dragon Vein and the ongoing Nine-Tails attack on Konoha.

• Black Zetsu and Kakashi used Kamui to trap Kaedeji while the masked Obito tried to take Kakashi’s Mangekyō Sharingan.

• Kaedeji said the Dragon Vein could take them back and pointed out that Minato Namikaze was using the Reaper Death Seal to split the Nine-Tails.

Minato split the Nine-Tails and tried to seal its Yang half into Naruto, but he was interrupted by Kaedeji, a Fourth Hokage from a parallel world. Kaedeji overpowered Minato, took the Yin Nine-Tails, and began turning Konoha’s world into his vassal by summoning zombies.

• Minato used the Reaper Death Seal to divide the Nine-Tails and began sealing its Yang half into Naruto while planning to take the Yin half with him.
• Kaedeji arrived in Fourth Hokage clothing, and Minato’s Shadow Clones seized him as the Third Hokage and Konoha’s ninja watched.

• Kaedeji pushed away Minato’s spirit hand, declared that he would take the Nine-Tails and the village, and let Minato’s soul be taken by the Reaper.
• Kaedeji subdued the Yin Nine-Tails, spared Naruto, and summoned coffins full of zombies as the Third Hokage saw a zombie version of himself emerge.

Kaedeji’s zombie army overwhelmed Konoha’s forces with the abilities of powerful dead shinobi, while the Third Hokage struggled to understand how to stop them. The chapter left Konoha facing collapse as Kaedeji’s control turned fallen and even living ninja against their comrades.

• Zombie versions of the Third Hokage, the Fourth Raikage, and other shinobi attacked Konoha, breaking through its defenses with genuine techniques and strength.
• The Third Hokage fought his zombie counterpart, who copied his techniques, while Konoha’s ninja struggled to damage the regenerating undead.

Kaedeji’s Corpse Release overwhelmed Konoha Village, while Obito learned how sharply this world’s history differed from his own and sought intelligence from Black Zetsu. In the devastated village, Obito confronted Fugaku, who revealed that he had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

• The Third Hokage failed to stop Kaedeji’s growing zombie army, and Konoha Village fell as its defenders were killed or transformed.
• Black Zetsu and Obito watched the destruction, and Obito questioned why this Konoha lacked powerful figures such as the Sannin, Hatake Sakumo, and Might Duy.
• Obito told Black Zetsu that Might Duy had defeated Otsutsuki Hamura in Kaedeji’s world and explained that Kaedeji repeatedly revived the dead to prolong the war.

• Obito entered the Uchiha Clan compound and demanded all of Madara’s intelligence from Black Zetsu.
• Fugaku confronted Obito and revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan, surprising Obito, who had considered Fugaku mediocre.

Fugaku and Obito formed a deal to use the Limited Tsukuyomi to obtain a Mangekyō Sharingan, while Fugaku sought a way to protect the Uchiha Clan from the Sado after Kaedeji left. When they could not find an Obito in the Parallel World, Obito chose Minato Namikaze as a substitute target.

• Fugaku used his prophecy-type Mangekyō technique to show Obito the Uchiha Clan's original fate and asked for his help obtaining Hiruko's Chimera Technique.
• Obito and Fugaku found Hiruko, and Fugaku controlled him into revealing the Chimera Technique, which could assimilate other people's bloodlines.
• Fugaku explained that he hoped the Uchiha Clan could use the technique to merge with the virus and avoid being hunted by the Sado after Kaedeji left.
• Obito agreed to let Fugaku keep the Chimera Technique in exchange for Uchiha subjects, then killed Hiruko and used the Third Hokage's crystal ball to activate the Limited Tsukuyomi.
• Inside the Parallel World, Obito told Fugaku to find that world's Obito and take his Mangekyō Sharingan, but they discovered that no one named Obito existed there.
• Obito decided to parasitize Minato Namikaze, project his Sharingan onto him, and ordered Fugaku to take Minato's left eye.

Obito and Fugaku entered Limited Tsukuyomi, defeated Limited Minato, and took his newly awakened Mangekyō Sharingan to help Obito obtain Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. After returning, Obito resolved to use his black-hole Dōjutsu to sterilize every Uchiha Clan Member and prevent the clan’s next generation.

• Fugaku used his predictive Mangekyō Dōjutsu to trap Limited Minato in Genjutsu, allowing Obito to possess him and awaken a Three-Tomoe Sharingan that became a Mangekyō.
• Fugaku used Izanagi to preserve the new eye’s power, then Obito ended Limited Tsukuyomi and left the world with him.
• Back in the Outside World, Fugaku used another Izanagi, and Obito took the eye and transplanted it in place of his original left eye.
• Obito told Fugaku that fusing the Dōjutsu Power of two Mangekyō Sharingan could produce Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and offered him a Three-Tomoe Sharingan from one of his clansmen.
• Obito returned to Kaedeji, who said the zombies had reached the Land of Wind and located the Dragon Vein.
• Obito decided to use his black-hole Dōjutsu to sterilize every Uchiha Clan Member and cut off the next generation.

Shisui returned to Konoha after a deadly mission, awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and rejected Danzo’s attempt to recruit him. He then discovered Obito and White Zetsu secretly targeting Uchiha clan members, but he could not work out their purpose or keep up with them.

• Shisui reported that a mysterious enemy with Wood Release and the Byakugan had killed Captain Dekai, while the meeting treated Dekai’s death casually because he could be revived.
• Danzo revealed himself to Shisui and urged him to use his newly awakened Mangekyō Sharingan to change Konoha, but Shisui refused to trust him and kept Kotoamatsukami’s power secret.
• Shisui spotted White Zetsu carrying a Mangekyō Sharingan and watched Obito emerge from a black hole; Obito identified Shisui as a threat and ordered White Zetsu to attack.
• White Zetsu’s attempt to use Ōhirame against Shisui failed when Shisui escaped with the Flying Thunder God Technique, and Obito and White Zetsu fled through a black hole.
• Shisui pursued Obito and White Zetsu as they visited Uchiha clan members, but he remained baffled by their actions and failed to stop them from sterilizing the clan.

Obito secretly sterilized nearly the entire Uchiha clan, and Shisui confronted him before reporting what he had witnessed to Kaedeji. Kaedeji revealed Obito’s actions and proposed extreme ways to restore the clan, then questioned whether Shisui intended to use his Mangekyō Sharingan to challenge the Hokage’s policies.

• Obito and White Zetsu sterilized Uchiha clan members, including Fugaku’s family, while Shisui followed and watched in confusion.
• Shisui confronted Obito, who defended his actions and claimed Kaedeji had arranged a grim fate for the people of their world.
• Shisui left to report Obito to Kaedeji at the Hokage Building.
• Kaedeji told Shisui that Obito had sterilized the Uchiha clan and suggested unconventional reproduction or using forbidden techniques to restore them.
• Shisui rejected Kaedeji’s proposal to kill and revive the clan, and Kaedeji asked whether Shisui planned to use his new eyes to pressure him.

Kaedeji thwarted Shisui’s attempt to use Kotoamatsukami to change the resurrection policy, took Shisui’s left eye, and learned its power. He then confronted Obito, whose eyes were still fusing, and used Kotoamatsukami against him.

• Kaedeji rejected Shisui’s plea to suspend the resurrection policy, and Shisui used the Kotoamatsukami in his right eye on him.
• Kaedeji resisted the genjutsu, gouged out Shisui’s left eye, and replaced his own left eye with Shisui’s bloodstained eye.
• Kaedeji left Shisui under the watch of a zombie and went to confront Obito.
• Obito realized Shisui had failed, but pain from his fusing eyes kept him from using his dōjutsu freely.
• Kaedeji declared Obito no longer useful to him and activated Kotoamatsukami against him.

Kaedeji used Shisui’s Kotoamatsukami to alter Obito’s beliefs, leaving him convinced he had resisted the technique and eager to seek Indra’s Chakra. After dawn, the Uchiha Clan discovered that its members had suffered matching abdominal pain and summoned Yakushi Nonō’s orphanage for examinations.

• Kaedeji activated Kotoamatsukami against Obito, who fought back with his Mangekyō Sharingan but unknowingly had his beliefs altered.
• Kaedeji explained that Obito needed Indra’s Chakra to obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and Obito agreed to investigate while Tobi sensed something was wrong.
• Kaedeji returned to the Hokage’s Office with Obito, where Shisui recognized that Obito had fallen under Kotoamatsukami and worried about the Uchiha Clan’s future.
• Kaedeji told Shisui that the clan’s fate was under his control and hinted that he had plans beyond using Formless Tsukuyomi.
• Uchiha Clan members reported matching abdominal pain, prompting Fugaku and the elders to arrange examinations and invite Yakushi Nonō’s orphanage under lockdown.

Yakushi Nonō confirmed that the Uchiha had lost the ability to reproduce, and the clan struggled to decide how to respond while Shisui arrived with a Mangekyō Sharingan and one missing eye. Kaedeji then ordered Formless Tsukuyomi to open, revealing that about twenty thousand captured and trained people supplied the Chakra needed to run it.

• Yakushi Nonō examined the Uchiha and told Fugaku that their reproductive organs had been severely damaged, with One's Own Life Reincarnation the only likely treatment.
• The Uchiha blamed Obito for the damage and argued over reviving their dead or obtaining One's Own Life Reincarnation, but Fugaku noted that both options demanded scarce points and missions.
• Shisui arrived with a Mangekyō Sharingan in his right eye and an empty left eye, and Fugaku welcomed him into the clan's leadership.
• Shisui urged the Uchiha not to involve Kaedeji and said the village would soon offer more missions.
• Kaedeji issued a decree to open Formless Tsukuyomi and told Obito that about twenty thousand people supplied the Chakra needed to sustain it.

Kaedeji launched Formless Tsukuyomi to harvest Chakra and prepare for future Ōtsutsuki threats, while Obito learned why Kaedeji needed such vast reserves. As people entered the virtual world, imprisoned ninja such as the Third Raikage began killing newcomers, turning the system into a continuing source of Chakra for Kaedeji.

• Kaedeji told Obito that he was gathering Chakra to strengthen his body for future battles with the Ōtsutsuki, while also preparing to become a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and control life through Formless Tsukuyomi.
• News of Formless Tsukuyomi spread, and the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan considered how to gain an advantage in the new world.
• People received Yachihoko marks that drained their Chakra and sent their consciousness into Formless Tsukuyomi, where they encountered a realistic virtual landscape.
• New arrivals reported that hostile prisoners were ambushing them, but Uchiha Yashiro ignored warnings to avoid them and entered the world to defend the Uchiha Clan's standing.
• The Third Raikage killed Yashiro as soon as he arrived, then resented Kaedeji for forcing him to fight newcomers in exchange for a small amount of Chakra.
• Imprisoned ninja from various villages continued battling and killing entrants, supplying Kaedeji with Chakra.

Konoha’s shinobi entered Kaedeji’s Formless Tsukuyomi, where they fought powerful figures such as the Third Raikage and learned that the realm could provide seemingly real, death-defying combat at a Chakra cost. Meanwhile, Kaedeji planned to obtain a Rinnegan through Obito, who visited Hyuga Hiashi to offer the Hyūga Clan a path beyond the Byakugan.

• Uchiha Yashiro and Yūhi Kurenai described their deaths inside the Formless Tsukuyomi, and Kurenai suspected its opponents were real people whose consciousnesses Kaedeji controlled.
• Hatake Sakumo fought the Third Raikage and realized that weapons and other necessities in the Genjutsu world required Chakra.
• Kaedeji discussed the Formless Tsukuyomi’s long-term scale and costs with Shikaku, while secretly planning to use Obito to obtain a Rinnegan.
• Obito reasoned that he could gain an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and Rinnegan by obtaining Indra’s and Asura’s Chakra, and Tobi questioned whether Kotoamatsukami had affected him.
• Obito visited Hyuga Hiashi and offered to help the Hyūga Clan obtain eyes that surpassed the Byakugan.

Obito enlisted Hiashi to use the Byakugan to search Uchiha children for Indra’s reincarnated Chakra, but their observations found no clear match. As Obito began using Izanagi to enter a Parallel World, Kaedeji secretly opened the Dragon Vein between worlds, advancing his plan to connect them all.

• Hiashi rejected Obito’s attempt to turn him against Kaedeji, but agreed to inspect Uchiha children’s Chakra with the Byakugan.
• Obito told Hiashi about the Tenseigan and Parallel Worlds, then led him toward the Uchiha territory to examine Itachi and the other children.
• Hiashi saw no unusual Chakra in Itachi or the other Uchiha children, leaving Obito without a reliable way to identify Indra’s reincarnation.
• Obito replaced one of his eyes with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan and activated Izanagi while preparing to use the Limited Tsukuyomi.
• Kaedeji secretly used Shisui’s eye and Izanagi to bring the Dragon Vein into the world, opening a passage that let Obito proceed.
• Kaedeji planned to link the Formless Tsukuyomi and Limited Tsukuyomi so the Parallel Worlds could connect in a grand convergence.

Kaedeji linked Formless Tsukuyomi to Limited Tsukuyomi, turning the first world’s fights into a source of Chakra while its inhabitants gained missions and bloodline exchanges. Meanwhile, Orochimaru discovered that Jigen could not absorb Natural Energy and began planning to betray the Otsutsuki; Jigen agreed to provide him with Otsutsuki genes.

• Kaedeji replaced his blind eye with an anime-timeline Obito’s Mangekyō Sharingan, gaining Kamui, then connected Formless Tsukuyomi to Limited Tsukuyomi.
• Formless Tsukuyomi’s residents received missions and the ability to exchange rewards for Wood Release and Mangekyō Sharingan, intensifying their battles with the world’s native fighters.
• Kaedeji diverted the Chakra generated by the battles into the passage to Limited Tsukuyomi.
• Orochimaru studied people from around Ryūchi Cave and questioned Jigen about Karma’s inability to absorb Natural Energy.
• Orochimaru inferred that Natural Energy could be used against the Otsutsuki and asked Jigen for a fragment of his genes to develop a compatible vessel.
• Jigen agreed to provide genuine Otsutsuki genes, while Orochimaru secretly resolved to plan his betrayal.

Nagato’s Akatsuki launched an assault on Hanzō’s Amegakure, and Nagato confronted Hanzō and Danzo. Nagato trapped and killed Danzo by extracting his soul, while Konan’s fight with Hanzō remained unresolved.

• Orochimaru studied Jigen’s Otsutsuki bloodline and concluded that Kaedeji’s Formless Tsukuyomi was harvesting Chakra, then sent Tenzō to answer a request for aid.
• Nagato and Konan prepared to end Hanzō’s rule as the Akatsuki expanded across the Land of Rain.
• Nagato attacked Hanzō’s safe house, trapping Hanzō and Danzo with Konan’s paper techniques.
• Nagato pursued Danzo, countered his attacks, and used Sage Mode to prevent his escape.
• Nagato extracted Danzo’s soul and killed him, while Konan continued fighting Hanzō without either side yet using their full strength.

Nagato defeated Danzo and fought Hanzō, whose poison and their battle devastated Amegakure. Tenzō arrived with Orochimaru’s aid and summoned someone Nagato recognized as Yahiko, only for the revived figure to realize he was still dead.

• Nagato used the Hell Path to tear out Danzo’s soul, killing him, then turned to face Hanzō.
• Nagato and Hanzō fought while Konan battled Amegakure’s forces, and their attacks and poison killed villagers and destroyed buildings.
• Nagato summoned his Rinnegan beasts, while Hanzō summoned Ibuse, which struggled with the pain from its damaged soul.
• Tenzō arrived to help Hanzō and told Nagato that he had brought something under Orochimaru’s instructions.
• Nagato accused Tenzō of being connected to Yahiko’s death and demanded that Jigen appear.
• Tenzō performed the Summoning Technique, and the person who emerged recognized that Nagato had grown up before realizing he was still dead.

Uchiha Madara was revived through an inferior Impure World Reincarnation and confronted Nagato and Konan, who had not recognized him at first. The battle ended with Madara revealing the Rinnegan in his own eyes, shattering Nagato and Konan’s belief that Nagato was the destined bearer of those eyes.

• Madara awakened in a damaged Impure World Reincarnation body and learned that Konohagakure was in Year 49.

• Madara revealed his Rinnegan, stopping the phantom dragon and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
• Nagato told Konan that Madara’s Rinnegan had originally been his own eyes, and Konan realized their beliefs about Nagato’s destiny had been wrong.

Madara revealed that he had transplanted the Rinnegan into Nagato and intended to use him to achieve his own resurrection and plan for peace. Konan wounded Madara with a vast Explosive Tag technique, but Madara’s Limbo shadows struck her, and Kaedeji arrived as Nagato faced him.

• Madara told Nagato that he had secretly transplanted his own Rinnegan into him and planned for Nagato to revive him with One’s Own Life Reincarnation Technique.
• Konan rejected Madara’s claims, then attacked him with Paper Release: God of Paper Technique and billions of Explosive Tags.
• Nagato entered Sage Mode and warned Konan that Madara had survived by switching places with a Limbo shadow.
• Madara used Limbo: Border Jail to wound Konan, and Nagato caught her as Madara tried to exploit his grief.
• Kaedeji appeared through Danzo’s body and told Madara that Nagato could not be manipulated so easily, then said Madara’s true challenge was dealing with the Otsutsuki.

Kaedeji told Madara about the Otsutsuki and their threat to the shinobi world, while Madara broke free of Tenzō’s control and agreed to confront them. Nagato joined their alliance against Jigen to avenge Yahiko, insisting that his Rinnegan would remain his own.

• Kaedeji explained that the Otsutsuki were the source of many shinobi bloodlines and that the Ten-Tails devoured Natural Energy, prompting Madara to consider the danger to the world.
• Kaedeji showed Madara fragments of his battle with Otsutsuki Hamura, and Madara became excited by the prospect of facing stronger opponents.
• Tenzō revealed his loyalty to Jigen and warned that Madara was escaping his control, then Madara used the Impure World Reincarnation release seals to regain his freedom.
• Kaedeji declined to provide Madara extensive help while occupied with another task, and Nagato refused to surrender his Rinnegan.
• Kaedeji described Isshiki’s history, and Nagato offered to join Madara against Jigen to avenge Yahiko.
