Chapter Summaries

Seiji told Hyou that Hiruzen Sarutobi had invited Kirigakure to the Joint Chunin Exams and invited all the Kage to Konoha, prompting Hyou to suspect Konoha advisors Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were behind the risky plan. After Minato Namikaze left Kirigakure, he mistakenly concluded that the village was weaker than Konoha, unaware that Kirigakure had detected his sensing and controlled what he could learn.

• Seiji asked Hyou to analyze why Hiruzen Sarutobi had invited the major shinobi villages and all the Kage to Konoha.
• Hyou reasoned that Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu had likely persuaded Hiruzen to make the invitation.
• Seiji realized Hyou's theory explained the unusual decision, though he wondered how the advisors had convinced Hiruzen.
• Minato Namikaze spent another day in Kirigakure secretly sensing the village, while its barriers concealed its crucial areas.
• Minato Namikaze returned to Konoha believing Kirigakure was weaker, unaware that Kirigakure had discovered his sensing and let him perceive only what it chose.

Seiji visited Third Mizukage Hyou to spar with Mei Terumi, Uzumaki Kana, and Kisame Hoshigaki before Kirigakure sent them to Konoha for the Joint Chunin Exams. The spar began with Kisame's water technique, and Uzumaki Kana struck at Seiji with her Adamantine Chains.

• Seiji returned to Third Mizukage Hyou's home as Kirigakure prepared its six candidates for the Joint Chunin Exams.
• Hyou asked Seiji to spar with Mei Terumi, Uzumaki Kana, and Kisame Hoshigaki and give them guidance.
• Seiji told the three disciples to prepare for five minutes and then attack him with everything they had.
• Kisame Hoshigaki opened the spar with Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave, and Seiji floated above the waves.
• Uzumaki Kana attacked Seiji from the side with Sealing Art: Adamantine Chains.

Seiji countered Mei Terumi’s Lava Release by instantly replicating it, then explained how his mastery of Chakra let him reproduce Kekkei Genkai techniques. As Mei Terumi, Uzumaki Kana, and Kisame Hoshigaki resumed their coordinated attack, Seiji raised an Earth Flow Wall to block their Water Dragon Bullets and obscure their view, but something unexpected happened.

• Seiji evaded Uzumaki Kana’s Adamantine Sealing Chains while she restricted his movement and Mei Terumi prepared her finishing attack.
• Mei Terumi launched Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique, and Seiji replicated the technique to neutralize it.
• Seiji explained to Mei Terumi, Uzumaki Kana, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Third Mizukage Hyou that he could reproduce Kekkei Genkai through his understanding of Chakra.
• Mei Terumi and Kisame Hoshigaki attacked Seiji together with Water Dragon Bullet Techniques.
• Seiji raised an Earth Flow Wall to block the water dragons and hide himself from the trio, but something unexpected happened.

Mei Terumi, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Uzumaki Kana combined their techniques to trap and attack Seiji, but he revealed that they had only caught a Shadow Clone. Seiji reappeared behind the three and attacked Uzumaki Kana.

• Mei Terumi and Kisame Hoshigaki fused their Water Dragon Bullets and smashed through Seiji's Earth Flow Ramparts.
• Uzumaki Kana placed a Self-Condemnation Curse Seal on the Seiji carried by the water dragon, and Kisame Hoshigaki and Mei Terumi trapped him in a corrosive water prison.
• The acid corroded the Shikotsumyaku bones covering the trapped Seiji until they crumbled.
• Seiji revealed that the trapped figure was a Shadow Clone and explained that his real body had slipped underground.
• Seiji used Body Flicker to approach Uzumaki Kana and strike at her back.

Seiji sparred with Mei Terumi, Uzumaki Kana, and Kisame Hoshigaki, using his abilities to defeat all three. Suikazan Fuguki then arrived with a request from Director Amado for Seiji to come to the laboratory.

• Seiji targeted Uzumaki Kana, but Kisame Hoshigaki pulled her out of the way with Water Release: Water Whip.
• Seiji sent Kisame Hoshigaki, Mei Terumi, and Uzumaki Kana flying, then used the Five Elements Seal and Jōgan: Pressure to restrain Uzumaki Kana, but her mental seal foiled his genjutsu.
• Mei Terumi attacked Seiji with her partial Tailed Beast Transformation and corrosive techniques, but Seiji used Sukuna Hikona and Yin-Yang Release Black Rods to counter her.
• Seiji ended the spar with Shinra Tensei, then absorbed Mei Terumi's Six-Tails Chakra, sealed Uzumaki Kana's Chakra, and trapped Kisame Hoshigaki in a Water Prison.
• Suikazan Fuguki arrived and told Seiji that Director Amado had requested him at the laboratory.

Sanzu Amado reported that a mysterious jar-shaped artifact reacted to chakra from Otsutsuki Koshiki’s corpse, and Seiji recognized it as the Otsutsuki tool Plow. Its arrival led Seiji to suspect that Shibai Otsutsuki had once visited the Ninja World and ascended from there.

• Sanzu Amado told Seiji that a fisherman had found an indestructible jar-shaped object, which flickered green when exposed to chakra remaining in Otsutsuki Koshiki’s corpse.
• Seiji followed Sanzu Amado to the innermost laboratory and recognized the object as the Otsutsuki tool Plow.
• Seiji recalled that Plow was associated with Shibai Otsutsuki and was said to possess the power to travel through time and space.
• Seiji reasoned that Shibai Otsutsuki may have used the Ninja World as a nursery before ascending across dimensions, leaving Plow behind.

Seiji activated the artifact Plow and discovered that its identity verification would not recognize him as an Otsutsuki. Urashiki Otsutsuki sensed its activation and began plotting to take it so he could travel back in time and seize Kaguya Otsutsuki’s chakra fruit.

• Seiji reasoned that Shibai Otsutsuki had visited the Ninja World first and that his abandoned body might still be hidden there.
• Sanzu Amado saw Seiji contemplating the artifact and quietly left the laboratory.
• Seiji infused the artifact Plow with chakra, awakening it and transforming it into an ancient-looking turtle.
• The turtle attempted to explain its operating instructions but repeatedly said “Otsutsuki” when its identity verification failed to recognize Seiji.
• Urashiki Otsutsuki sensed Plow’s activation in Kirigakure and planned how to obtain it so he could travel back a thousand years and take Kaguya Otsutsuki’s chakra fruit.

Seiji prepared Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan for the Joint Chunin Exams and equipped Nagato with two sealed Dojutsu for protection. As Kirigakure's teams departed for Konoha under Otsutsuki Tenshin, Seiji looked forward to seeing how Konoha and the Hyuga Clan would react to Tenshin's white eyes.

• Seiji left the divine artifact Plow in a protected laboratory, hoping its aura would lure Urashiki Otsutsuki to Kirigakure.
• Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan returned from an A-rank mission, and Seiji told them Kirigakure would send them to the Joint Chunin Exams in Konoha.
• Seiji kept Nagato behind and sealed a Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion in his left eye and Takamagahara in his right eye.
• At the end of June, Kirigakure sent Yahiko's team and Mei Terumi's team toward Konoha, led by Otsutsuki Tenshin instead of Yagura or Hyou.
• Seiji planned to visit the Hyuga Clan in Konoha and see their reaction to Otsutsuki Tenshin's white eyes.

Seiji used Otsutsuki Tenshin’s visit to Konoha to pursue his plan to recruit the Hyuga Clan’s Branch Family. While Minato Namikaze was stunned by Tenshin’s Byakugan, Urashiki Otsutsuki entered Hidden Mist Village and activated the treasured tool Plow, unaware that Seiji had lured him there.

• Seiji planned to use Otsutsuki Tenshin’s visit to Konoha to approach the Hyuga Clan’s Branch Family and offer them a path away from the Main Family.
• Minato Namikaze greeted Otsutsuki Tenshin and was stunned to see that the Hidden Mist leader had the Hyuga Clan’s Byakugan.
• Otsutsuki Tenshin noticed Minato Namikaze’s shock and looked forward to the reactions of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Hyuga Clan.
• Urashiki Otsutsuki entered Hidden Mist Village through Yomotsu Hirasaka, believing Seiji had left for Konoha, while Seiji waited in the Mizukage Office.
• Urashiki Otsutsuki found Plow in the laboratory, supplied it with Chakra, and began its activation procedure.

Urashiki Otsutsuki began charging the treasured tool "Plow" to travel a thousand years into the past and take Kaguya Otsutsuki’s Chakra Fruit, but Seiji ambushed him before he could activate it. Seiji and Kirigakure’s forces sealed the laboratory inside layered Barriers designed to contain the battle and slow Urashiki’s space-time abilities.

• Urashiki Otsutsuki poured his chakra into the treasured tool "Plow" to prepare for a journey to the past, intending to seize the God Tree’s fruit from Kaguya Otsutsuki.
• Seiji brought Karatachi Yagura to the remote laboratory in Kirigakure, where the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and other allies stood ready to contain the fight.
• Seiji appeared behind Urashiki Otsutsuki while he was charging the tool, then activated Tenseigan Chakra Mode and attacked him with Eight Trigrams: Mountain Crusher Palm.
• Six members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist raised the Six Red Yang Formation around the laboratory.
• Karatachi Yagura coordinated Hyou, Ken, and Terumi Hiroshi to raise the Four Red Yang Formation, layering the barriers and slowing Urashiki Otsutsuki’s Yomotsu Hirasaka.

Seiji forced Urashiki Otsutsuki to flee upward with the sacred tool "Plow," then revealed that Angkor Fortress had been waiting above the barriers. The chapter left Urashiki facing a colossal Chakra attack powered by the life force of the Sky Ninjas.

• Seiji dodged Urashiki Otsutsuki's Red Light Fishing Rod and struck at him with Eight Trigrams: Mountain Shattering Strike.
• Urashiki Otsutsuki used Time Reversal to escape the attack, then flew upward while charging the sacred tool "Plow."
• Seiji stopped pursuing Urashiki Otsutsuki, who realized he was flying into a trap as the clouds parted above him.
• Angkor Fortress loomed over Urashiki Otsutsuki, unleashing a crushing Chakra presence.
• Seiji formed the Seal of the Ram and drained the Chakra and much of the life force from every Sky Ninja in Angkor Fortress, including Shennong.
• A thick violet-black pillar of Chakra surged from Angkor Fortress toward Urashiki Otsutsuki.

Seiji used Angkor Fortress's overloaded Chakra Cannon to gravely injure Urashiki Otsutsuki, then continued attacking while Urashiki maintained the Plow's charge. The chapter ended with Seiji sending his Truth-Seeking Orbs toward Urashiki, who lay pinned beneath Daikokuten.

• Seiji's Chakra Cannon struck Urashiki Otsutsuki and blasted him into a deep crater, leaving him seriously injured despite his Red Light Fish Basket absorbing some of the chakra.
• Urashiki released the chakra he had collected to delay Seiji while the treasured tool Plow charged, but Seiji's Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion erased the assault.
• Seiji struck Urashiki with Divine Vacuum Attack, but Urashiki escaped using Paper Crane Flicker and counterattacked with Ame no Nuboko.
• Seiji blocked the Red Light Fish Hooks with Shinra Tensei and used Takamagahara: Meteorite to smash Urashiki into the ground.
• Seiji sent his nine Truth-Seeking Orbs toward the injured Urashiki to finish him off.

Seiji continued his fight against Urashiki Otsutsuki, using a Truth-Seeking Orb to disrupt Urashiki’s space-time escape and badly injure him. As Seiji prepared a golden finishing strike, Urashiki consumed the Chakra Fruit he had been carrying, healed his wounds and severed leg, and opened Yomotsu Hirasaka.

• Urashiki used Yomotsu Hirasaka to escape Daikokuten’s suppression, but Seiji sent a Truth-Seeking Orb through the portal after him.
• Urashiki dodged the uncontrolled orb and lost part of his forehead horn, then Seiji caught the orb and hurled it at him again.
• Urashiki opened Yomotsu Hirasaka to swallow the orb, and Seiji detonated it inside the space-time tunnel, severely injuring Urashiki.
• Seiji attacked with Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, and Urashiki evaded the blast at the cost of his right leg.
• Seiji formed a golden sword and launched Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, so Urashiki swallowed his Red Light Fish Basket and stored Chakra Fruit, healed himself, and opened Yomotsu Hirasaka.

Seiji battled Urashiki Otsutsuki after Urashiki recovered and grew stronger by consuming the Red Light Fish Basket. Urashiki escaped Seiji’s Planetary Devastation by detonating his Red Light Fishing Rod, then prepared to use the fully charged Plow to travel through time while keeping Seiji from following.

• Urashiki Otsutsuki recovered and increased his strength with the Red Light Fish Basket, then used Yomotsu Hirasaka to absorb Seiji’s Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
• Seiji used Boil Release and Banshō Ten'in against Urashiki, and their attacks collided as they fought with Red Light Fish Hooks and Yin-Yang Release Black Rods.
• Seiji caught Urashiki inside Planetary Devastation, but Urashiki destroyed the rock sphere by detonating his Red Light Fishing Rod.
• Urashiki healed his injuries with Time Reversal as the sacred tool Plow finished charging.
• Urashiki grabbed Plow and retreated from Seiji, since its Space-Time fluctuations prevented him from using Yomotsu Hirasaka and he did not want Seiji to travel back with him.

Seiji followed Urashiki Otsutsuki through Plow’s time-travel portal and fought him inside the unstable passage. As their journey neared its end, Urashiki deliberately destabilized the passage, and Seiji unleashed the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

• Seiji failed to stop Urashiki Otsutsuki from entering Plow’s completed portal, but used the Tenseigan to hold it open long enough to follow him.
• Seiji and Urashiki Otsutsuki fought in the passage, trading attacks as Urashiki relied on Time Reversal to keep pace despite his dwindling chakra and Pupil Power.
• Urashiki Otsutsuki used Yomotsu Hirasaka to disrupt the passage, then intensified the disturbance when Seiji avoided his trap.
• As Plow’s light dimmed and cracks spread through the passage, Seiji attacked Urashiki Otsutsuki with the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

After the Space-Time passage shattered, Seiji drifted through the Space-Time Turbulence and emerged in the Ninja World a thousand years in the past. He lost his memories of his former life, learned that the world was in an ancient era without a moon, and became established in a settlement.

• Seiji stored the damaged treasured tool "Plow" in Takamagahara Space before the explosion flung him and Urashiki Otsutsuki into the Space-Time Turbulence.
• Seiji regained consciousness in the turbulence but avoided using Takamagahara because shifting coordinates made escape too dangerous.
• A terrifying gaze watched Seiji as the turbulence carried him toward a multicolored light; after he passed through, he heard a voice mention the Ōtsutsuki clan and "Omnipotence!!!"
• Seiji fell unconscious and emerged into the Ninja World a thousand years ago, where he awoke in a crater with no memories of his previous life in the Ninja World.
• Seiji spent half a year learning about the primitive world, then became well-acquainted in a non-tribal settlement over the following year.

Seiji united the settlements into the Land of Ancestors, became its Son of Heaven, and learned to use Natural Energy during a war with That Land. After the God Tree appeared, a strange light brought Kaguya Otsutsuki into his world, and Seiji recognized her as the Progenitor of Chakra.

• Seiji defended his settlement, then conquered the surrounding settlements and founded the Land of Ancestors, whose people honored him as the Son of Heaven.
• The Land of Ancestors fought That Land until both nations made peace, and Seiji learned the basics of Natural Energy from its practitioners.
• A colossal tree appeared between the two nations, and both came to call it the God Tree.
• A month later, Seiji followed a falling white orb to a forest outside the capital and saw a young woman emerge from it.
• Seiji recognized the woman as Kaguya Otsutsuki and felt his heart stir for the first time in years.

Seiji met Kaguya Otsutsuki and discovered that his body belonged to the Otsutsuki Clan and that he possessed the Jōgan. He brought Kaguya to the Land of Ancestors’ capital, where their conversation began to change his wary impression of her.

• Kaguya sensed Seiji’s Otsutsuki aura and tested him by using her Byakugan to pressure him.
• Seiji’s eyes awakened with an azure light, and Kaguya recognized his Jōgan as the legendary Eye of Fate and Hope.
• Kaguya introduced herself as the guardian of the God Tree, and Seiji told her his name and that he was the Son of Heaven of the Land of Ancestors.
• Seiji brought Kaguya to the capital and questioned her about the Otsutsuki Clan as she answered him honestly.
• Seiji used his Jōgan to perceive Kaguya’s sincerity and began to feel protective of her.

Seiji realized he had fallen in love with Kaguya Otsutsuki at first sight and asked her to teach him how to use Chakra. After their Chakra connected and revealed their memories to each other, Seiji gained control of his dormant power, while Kaguya sensed that his memories had been erased.

• Seiji watched Kaguya Otsutsuki in the morning and became flustered when she looked at him, realizing he was in love with her.
• Seiji asked Kaguya Otsutsuki to teach him to control Chakra, and she agreed because she would need his strength against Momoshiki Otsutsuki, Kinshiki Otsutsuki, and Urashiki Otsutsuki.
• Seiji took Kaguya's hands, and their Chakras connected, letting them see each other's memories and innermost thoughts.
• Kaguya Otsutsuki helped Seiji master Chakra, and he gained access to the enormous power that had lain dormant within him.
• Kaguya Otsutsuki sensed discord in Seiji's memories, and Seiji concluded that someone had tampered with them and resolved to grow stronger until he uncovered the truth.

Seiji confessed his feelings to Kaguya Otsutsuki after learning that she was worried about other Otsutsuki coming to pursue her. Kaguya told him about Momoshiki Otsutsuki, Kinshiki Otsutsuki, and Urashiki Otsutsuki, then accepted Seiji’s invitation to pursue peace together, and they kissed.

• Seiji visited Kaguya Otsutsuki at night and learned from a guard that she gazed at the stars every night as though waiting for someone.
• Seiji comforted Kaguya Otsutsuki and promised to stay by her side, prompting her to tell him about Momoshiki Otsutsuki, Kinshiki Otsutsuki, and Urashiki Otsutsuki and their threat.
• Seiji asked Kaguya Otsutsuki to join him in striving for peace without conflict, and she answered, “I do!!!”
• Seiji embraced and kissed Kaguya Otsutsuki, who did not resist.
