Chapter Summary

A black-and-red spatial gate opens over Konoha, releasing a combined strike team made up of former Akatsuki members—Kakuzu, Sasori, and Kisame—and Kara’s inner members—Delta, Boro, and Kōshin. Their mission is to capture Naruto Uzumaki and the “Second Pillar,” while Konoha’s strongest fighters are distracted elsewhere by the battle against Momoshiki and Kinshiki.
With Naruto’s allies and other major leaders occupied, Shikaku Nara assumes command of Konoha’s defense. He quickly realizes that the invasion is a deliberate strategy to lure the village’s strongest forces away and seize Naruto and Sasuke. Rather than surrender, Shikaku orders Konoha’s remaining forces to eliminate the invaders and settle old scores with both organizations.
Konoha’s enhanced fighters organize into separate matchups:

• Tsunade battles Kōshin, a clone of Jiraiya.
• Might Guy confronts Delta.
• Kabuto fights Boro.
• The Ino–Shika–Chō formation engages Kakuzu.
• Hizashi Hyuga and other clan fighters surround Sasori.
• Tekka Uchiha, Uchiha Yamikaze, and other Mangekyō users intercept Kisame.
  The battle is presented as the decisive campaign to eradicate the remaining threats of the Akatsuki and Kara. Many Konoha fighters have been strengthened by Hashirama Cells, Hamura’s bloodline, Sage Mode, or awakened Sharingan abilities, making the village far more powerful than in the past.
  The chapter focuses particularly on the opening clash between Might Guy and Delta. Delta fires an extremely fast laser from her eyes, but Guy evades it with ease, surprising her. Having been enhanced by Hashirama Cells, Guy activates the Sixth Gate of the Eight Gates Formation, dramatically increasing his speed and power. He uses Morning Peacock, striking the air with flaming punches, but Delta avoids the attack by using the thrusters in her legs to fly.
  Delta’s scientific modifications allow her to absorb ninjutsu, fly, transform her body, and launch powerful attacks. Since Guy’s taijutsu cannot be absorbed, she counters physically, transforming her leg into a grotesque bone claw and attacking him. Guy blocks with Konoha Senpū, sending both fighters backward. Shikaku warns Guy that Delta is not a conventional ninja and that her scientific ninja tools give her numerous unusual abilities.

Character Developments and Interactions

• Shikaku Nara demonstrates his strategic intelligence by recognizing the invasion as a diversion and taking command despite lacking the combat power of Konoha’s absent leaders.
• Might Guy is portrayed as an even more formidable taijutsu master after receiving Hashirama Cell enhancements. His speed allows him to evade Delta’s laser and challenge her advanced technology directly.
• Delta is established as aggressive, arrogant, and highly dangerous. Though created as a clone of Amado’s deceased daughter, her personality differs sharply from the original, and she is treated primarily as a weapon.
• Konoha’s fighters act collectively, emphasizing discipline and coordination against multiple powerful enemies.
• Shikaku and Guy interact as commander and frontline fighter, with Shikaku providing critical tactical information about Delta’s abilities.

Significant Themes

• Final confrontation and eradication: The invasion is framed as the last decisive battle against the remnants of the Akatsuki and Kara.
• Technology versus traditional shinobi power: Delta’s scientific ninja tools and Guy’s taijutsu represent two contrasting forms of combat.
• Strategic defense and teamwork: Even without Konoha’s strongest leaders, planning, specialized matchups, and coordinated forces allow the village to resist.
• Transformation and enhancement: Hashirama Cells, Sage Mode, bloodline powers, and cybernetic modifications all show characters surpassing their former limits.
• Old enemies facing judgment: The return of Akatsuki members gives Konoha an opportunity to confront and destroy threats that had previously escaped capture.

Chapter Summary: “This Uchiha Zheng’s Evil Intent!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Qianyu’s intelligence allows Shikaku Nara to prepare specifically for Delta’s abilities. Knowing that Delta can absorb ninjutsu and fire laser beams, Konoha sends Might Guy, a taijutsu specialist, to fight her.
• Might Guy opens the Seventh Gate, the Gate of Wonder. Enhanced by Hashirama Cells, his chakra, physical strength, durability, and recovery are far greater than normal.
• Guy uses the Daytime Tiger, overpowering Delta’s laser attack and destroying her body. Although Guy is badly wounded by the laser, his Hashirama-enhanced body keeps him alive.
• Delta’s core data escapes through a drone, allowing her consciousness and memories to be transferred into another body. Her defeat is therefore temporary.
• Tsunade confronts Kōshin, who identifies himself as “False Jiraiya.” He claims to possess his own will rather than simply being a copy of Jiraiya. Tsunade attacks him with enhanced Wood Style and overwhelming physical strength.
• Kōshin recognizes that Tsunade has become vastly stronger after receiving Hashirama Cells, effectively resembling a smaller version of Hashirama. However, he secretly does not intend to fight seriously because he and Amado have plans separate from Isshiki.
• Elsewhere, Kabuto battles Boro, while Konoha’s major clans surround former Akatsuki members Sasori, Kakuzu, and Kisame.
• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki arrives above Konoha through a space-time portal. His appearance causes both Kara and Akatsuki forces to regain confidence while Konoha realizes that its strongest fighters are already occupied elsewhere.
• Isshiki demands that Naruto and Sasuke—referred to as “Second Pillar”—be handed over, promising to spare Konoha if they comply.

Character Developments

• Might Guy: Demonstrates immense growth after integrating Hashirama Cells. He can use the Seventh Gate with far greater power and survivability, defeating Delta despite suffering a serious injury.
• Delta: Reveals the danger of her artificial-body nature. Even after being physically destroyed, her core data survives, allowing her to be resurrected in a replacement body.
• Tsunade: Has evolved beyond her traditional close-combat style. Hashirama Cells grant her Wood Style, increased speed, and broader offensive capabilities, making her comparable to a smaller Hashirama.
• Kōshin/False Jiraiya: Clarifies that he possesses an independent identity and is not simply Jiraiya revived. His apparent battle with Tsunade is partly an act, since he and Amado have motives that conflict with Isshiki’s.
• Isshiki: Establishes himself as the true mastermind and a threat far beyond the current battlefield forces. His arrival shifts the conflict dramatically in Kara’s favor.
• Shikaku Nara: Shows strategic awareness but recognizes that Konoha is dangerously unprepared to face Isshiki directly.

Significant Themes

• Preparation versus overwhelming power: Qianyu’s foreknowledge allows Konoha to counter Delta effectively, but even perfect preparation may not be enough against Isshiki’s superior strength.
• Artificial identity and survival: Delta’s ability to revive through stored data and Kōshin’s insistence on having his own will raise questions about clones, copies, and what constitutes an individual.
• The consequences of enhancement: Hashirama Cells dramatically empower Guy and Tsunade, but their abilities also reflect the dangerous escalation of power throughout the ninja world.
• Hidden agendas and divided loyalties: Kōshin and Amado are not fully loyal to Isshiki, suggesting that the conflict contains multiple secret plans beyond the visible battle.
• The vulnerability of peace: Tsunade frames the invasion as an attack on the entire ninja world’s peace, while Isshiki’s arrival exposes how fragile that peace remains.

Character Interactions

• Shikaku and Qianyu: Qianyu’s intelligence guides Shikaku’s strategic deployment of Guy against Delta.
• Guy and Delta: Their battle centers on taijutsu versus absorbed ninjutsu. Guy’s Daytime Tiger ultimately overwhelms Delta’s lasers.
• Tsunade and Kōshin: Tsunade condemns Kōshin’s role in invading Konoha, while Kōshin acknowledges her extraordinary transformation and secretly avoids fighting at full strength.
• Isshiki and Konoha: Isshiki addresses the entire village from above, demanding Naruto and Sasuke and placing Konoha under immediate threat.
• Kara and Akatsuki members: The arrival of Isshiki restores their confidence, while Konoha’s forces become fearful that no one remains free to oppose him.

Chapter Summary: “This Uchiha Zheng’s Evil Intent!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Amado’s plan to use Otsutsuki Shinshiki’s power to resurrect his daughter is revealed to be unrealistic, since Shinshiki has no intention of obeying anyone.
• Shinshiki awakens with the ability to perceive the past, present, and countless possible futures through the Divine Tree’s All-Seeing Eye and Ten Directions.
• Its only true objective is to kill Uchiha Qianyu, whom it recognizes as its destined rival. Across innumerable timelines, either Shinshiki or Qianyu survives, but never both.
• Shinshiki admits that Qianyu is the only being it cannot perceive or understand through its divine abilities. Even its incomplete Omnipotence may not be powerful enough to alter reality against him.
• In the few futures where Shinshiki kills Qianyu, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke—referred to as “Second Pillar”—are killed first. Shinshiki therefore orders its subordinates to eliminate them.
• Shinshiki refuses to let Delta fight Naruto and Sasuke, judging her too weak, and instead decides to test the power of the Rinnegan Claw Scum, creatures formed from the Ten-Tails.
• Naruto and Sasuke are already battling these creatures. Although the Claw Scum possess immense strength, nearly indestructible bodies, and rapid regeneration, Naruto and Sasuke overpower them through superior combat ability.

Character Developments

• Otsutsuki Shinshiki is established as an immensely powerful, arrogant, and calculating antagonist. Despite its near-godlike abilities, it is unsettled by Qianyu’s existence and treats him as the one threat it cannot predict.
• Uchiha Qianyu gains further importance as Shinshiki’s destined nemesis. His power appears to transcend ordinary divine techniques, making him an anomaly even to an Otsutsuki capable of seeing across timelines.
• Naruto demonstrates extraordinary physical power. Rather than relying on the Rasengan, he follows Qianyu’s teachings and focuses on overwhelming, close-range attacks enhanced by Wind Release, Kurama Mode, and Six Paths abilities.
• Sasuke remains fiercely competitive with Naruto and refuses to be outperformed. He analyzes the Claw Scum’s regenerative ability and begins searching for a weakness rather than attacking recklessly.
• Delta, normally violent and confident, becomes submissive and reverent toward Shinshiki. She is humiliated when Shinshiki dismisses her strength as insufficient.
• Orochimaru and Amado recognize Naruto and Sasuke as exceptional talents who may eventually become the beings closest in power to Qianyu.

Significant Themes

• Fate versus free will: Shinshiki can observe countless futures, yet all of them lead to a final confrontation with Qianyu. Its knowledge of fate does not guarantee victory.
• Limits of omnipotence: Even a being with reality-altering powers admits that Omnipotence may not work against Qianyu, suggesting that true strength can surpass divine abilities.
• Godlike beings and human potential: Shinshiki dismisses humanity, but Naruto and Sasuke’s strength proves that humans can approach or even threaten divine-level opponents.
• Strategic conflict: Shinshiki and Qianyu are portrayed as rival players in a cosmic chess game, while everyone else serves as expendable pieces.
• Adaptation and analysis: Sasuke’s effort to identify the Claw Scum’s regenerative core emphasizes intelligence and tactical thinking alongside raw power.

Character Interactions

• Shinshiki and Delta: Delta respectfully questions why Shinshiki does not simply kill Qianyu. Shinshiki explains that Qianyu cannot be perceived and may be stronger than divine techniques. When Delta volunteers to fight Naruto and Sasuke, Shinshiki bluntly rejects her due to her lack of strength.
• Shinshiki and the others: Shinshiki openly compares the conflict to a chess game, identifying itself and Qianyu as the players and the others as pawns. Orochimaru and the rest understand that they are expected to fight Naruto and Sasuke on Shinshiki’s behalf.
• Naruto and Sasuke: The two fight separately but competitively against the Claw Scum. Naruto destroys one with a devastating Wind Release-enhanced punch, prompting Sasuke to retaliate with Amenotejikara and a powerful Lightning Release blade.
• Sasuke and the Claw Scum: After seeing the enemy regenerate, Sasuke shifts from direct attacks to investigation, theorizing that its Rinnegan or an internal core may be the key to defeating it.

Chapter Summary: “This Uchiha Zheng’s Wickedness!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Sasuke and Naruto simultaneously defeat powerful Rinnegan Claw Scum. Sasuke disables one by stabbing its Rinnegan with a lightning-infused katana, while Naruto destroys another completely with a Six Paths-enhanced Whirlwind Fist. Their victories occur at the same time, leaving them frustrated that neither can claim superiority.
• Sakura destroys several ordinary Claw Scum but is suddenly ambushed by white phosphorus serpents summoned by Orochimaru. She is trapped and placed in further danger when Hiruko attacks her with Dust Release: Primal World Severance Technique.
• Naruto and Sasuke instinctively protect Sakura. Sasuke absorbs Hiruko’s Dust Release using the Rinnegan’s Absorption Seal, while Naruto destroys the serpents with a small Tailed Beast Bomb.
• The attackers are revealed to be Orochimaru and Hiruko, a surviving member of Kara who has fused numerous Kekkei Genkai and gained access to dangerous Otsutsuki-related abilities.
• Naruto and Sasuke divide the battle: Naruto chooses Orochimaru, while Sasuke takes Hiruko. Sakura remains behind to fight the remaining Claw Scum.
• Naruto unveils his ultimate Six Paths Kurama form: a three-headed, six-armed Nine-Tails transformation. He overwhelms Orochimaru’s Myriad Serpent Array, destroys his Triple Rashomon defenses, and defeats his Six Paths-enhanced Eight-Headed Serpent Technique.
• Orochimaru attempts to escape by shedding his body, but Naruto pursues and crushes his white phosphorus snake form. Although Orochimaru may eventually revive, he is effectively killed on the battlefield.

• Hiruko declares that obtaining the Sharingan or Rinnegan would allow him to surpass the Six Paths and announces his intention to sacrifice Sasuke. Sasuke responds with cold confidence and threatens him.

Character Developments

• Naruto: Demonstrates an enormous increase in power, decisively overpowering Orochimaru and unveiling his most advanced Kurama transformation. His victory reinforces his confidence and competitive attitude toward Sasuke.
• Sasuke: Shows quick judgment and teamwork by protecting Sakura and absorbing Hiruko’s Dust Release. Though he defeats his first Claw Scum simultaneously with Naruto, he becomes irritated when Naruto defeats Orochimaru before he can finish Hiruko.
• Sakura: Proves capable against ordinary Claw Scum but is overwhelmed by the coordinated ambush. Naruto and Sasuke’s immediate protection of her highlights her importance to the group.
• Orochimaru: Despite enhanced Otsutsuki blood and an exceptionally resilient body, he is completely outclassed by Naruto’s offensive power. His defeat demonstrates the gap between his evolved abilities and Naruto’s current strength.
• Hiruko: Emerges as a dangerous and highly adaptable opponent. His extensive fusion of Kekkei Genkai makes him difficult to kill, while his ambition to acquire Sasuke’s ocular powers reveals his desire to transcend Six Paths-level power.

Significant Themes

Character Interactions

• Naruto and Sasuke compete over who can defeat opponents faster, yet cooperate seamlessly when Sakura is threatened.
• Sakura relies on both men’s intervention and is reassured enough to continue fighting elsewhere.
• Naruto taunts Sasuke implicitly after defeating Orochimaru first, while Sasuke grows impatient and determined to finish Hiruko.

• Naruto condemns Shinshiki’s cruelty and battles Kōshin, intending to free him from his suffering.
• Shinshiki pits the resurrected Orochimaru against Sasuke, referred to as the “Second Pillar.” Orochimaru claims to be far stronger than he was in the past and suggests Sasuke will not defeat him easily.
• Shinshiki unleashes a massive army consisting of Ten-Tails clones, claw monsters, Rinnegan-bearing creatures, and advanced combat puppets created through the cooperation of Amado and Orochimaru.
• Qianyu’s elite ninja forces confront the army. Led by powerful figures such as Fugaku, Kakashi, Hiashi, Tsunade, Kabuto, the Five Kage, the daimyō, and major clan leaders, the ninja alliance treats the battle as both the final defense of the ninja world and a training exercise for the planned invasion of the Otsutsuki homeworld.
• Kara Organization members—including Delta, Victor, Deepa, and Bagu—regain enhanced power from Shinshiki and join the battle against the ninja army.
• While the war rages outside, Amado secretly watches events from a room in Kara’s headquarters. Qianyu suddenly hacks into his surveillance system and confronts him directly.
• Qianyu reveals that Amado’s true objective is not resurrecting his daughter, as he claims, but resurrecting the true God of Otsutsuki. Shinshiki is merely a component of this larger plan.
• Amado is shocked that Qianyu has uncovered his deepest secret. Qianyu dismisses Shinshiki’s supposed status as his equal, claiming he could kill him instantly but has delayed doing so because Shinshiki’s confidence and belief in himself as a “player” are amusing.
• The chapter ends with Amado asking whether Qianyu intends to kill him.

Character Developments

• Amado is exposed as a calculating mastermind whose stated motivations conceal a far more ambitious plan involving the Otsutsuki god. His confidence collapses once Qianyu reveals that he understands everything.

• Shinshiki is further diminished in importance: despite his immense power and belief that he controls the battlefield, Qianyu views him as an expendable piece in Amado’s and his own larger schemes.

Significant Themes

• Free will versus control: Kōshin’s loss of identity and Amado’s manipulation of Shinshiki highlight the consequences of treating people as tools.
• Hidden motives and deception: Amado’s public explanation about resurrecting his daughter conceals his true goal of reviving the Otsutsuki god.
• Power and perspective: The chapter contrasts the characters’ understanding of strength. Shinshiki sees himself as a master strategist, while Qianyu regards him as insignificant.
• War as preparation: The final battle is not only a struggle for survival but also a training exercise for the future assault on the Otsutsuki planet.
• Ambition and hubris: Shinshiki’s confidence and Amado’s grand design are both challenged by Qianyu’s superior awareness and power.

• Qianyu and Shinshiki: Though they do not directly fight in this chapter, Qianyu dismisses Shinshiki as beneath his attention and claims he could destroy him with a thought.

Chapter Summary

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Qianyu confronts Amado and reveals that Amado is actually being controlled by the residual will of Otsutsuki Shibai, the Otsutsuki “god.”
• He deduces that Shibai’s will awakened after Amado experimented on the remains of Shibai’s former vessels and reincarnations, eventually possessing Amado and turning him into a vessel.

3. Significant Themes

• Power and isolation: Shibai’s transcendence has made him effectively omnipotent but deeply isolated, leading him to treat entire worlds as entertainment.
• Godhood and humanity: The chapter contrasts Shibai’s detached, godlike perspective with Qianyu’s attachment to his world and responsibility toward it.

• Finality: The destruction of souls, causality, and revival methods emphasizes that the major enemies are defeated permanently rather than temporarily sealed or reincarnated.

4. Character Interactions

Key Plot Points and Events

• While traveling through the cosmic sea, Qianyu invites Naruto and Sasuke to chat and asks whether they have any questions.

• Sasuke instead asks about the past—specifically whether their experiences were predetermined and whether the past can be changed.
• Qianyu explains that the past can technically be altered through powers such as the Dragon Vein, the Otsutsuki artifact Plough, or his own abilities. However, changing the past could create unpredictable consequences for the present and future, so he chooses not to do so.
