Chapter Summaries

Yagura became the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, and Seiji strengthened his seal to help him control the beast’s chakra. After Yagura gained the Three-Tails’ partial acceptance, Seiji brought a portion of its chakra to the Small Ten-Tails.

• Seiji reinforced the ground while Hyō and the sealing squad prepared the Four Directions Sealing Formation to transfer the Three-Tails into Yagura.
• Yagura endured the Three-Tails’ violent chakra surge until the Four Symbols Seal subdued it and completed the sealing.
• Seiji examined Yagura’s seal and added a second Four Symbols Seal, combining the pair into an Eight Trigrams Sealing Style.
• Seiji shared what he knew about Jinchuriki, then he and Hyō postponed their trip to the moon so Yagura could adjust to the Three-Tails.
• After a week, Yagura had gained the Three-Tails’ partial acceptance and could borrow some of its power, making him a Kage-level fighter.
• Seiji went to the Small Ten-Tails with a portion of Three-Tails Chakra obtained from Yagura.

Seiji fed the Small Ten-Tails and gained more chakra before taking Hyou and Yagura from Hidden Mist Village toward the moon. They arrived in a cavern guarded by giant crabs, where Yagura began testing his Three-Tails power.

• Seiji fed the Small Ten-Tails the Three-Tails Chakra and absorbed more of its chakra, increasing his reserves, Pupil Power, and Jōgan abilities.
• Seiji handed village affairs to Genji and told Yagura about the journey to the moon; Yagura learned he could wield some of the Three-Tails' power.
• Seiji used Takamagahara to transport Hyou and Yagura from the Mizukage Office to a cave in the Land of Fire, then led them through pools toward the route to the moon.
• Seiji warned Hyou and Yagura not to touch golden orbs that could trap them in genjutsu, and the three traveled through another pool into a vast cavern.
• Giant crabs charged the group, and Seiji told Yagura to handle them as Yagura formed a Three-Tails Chakra cloak and launched a barrage of water bullets.

Yagura, Seiji, and Hyō escaped the lava cave and discovered a vast underground world inside the moon, including an artificial sun and an abandoned town marked by battles. Seiji sensed a faint summons leading to a dark tunnel, and the three cautiously entered it.

• Yagura defeated the giant crabs without killing them, and the three left the lava cave.
• The group discovered a forest and lake inside a vast underground space, where Seiji identified an artificial sun, a hidden moon, and signs of the Moon Otsutsuki Clan within the sun.
• Seiji, Yagura, and Hyō explored the area and found an abandoned town filled with battle damage and signs of bloodshed.
• Seiji sensed a faint summons from his Otsutsuki Bloodline and led the others to a damaged statue beside a dark opening.
• After Seiji checked the entrance with his Jōgan, the three cautiously entered the silent underground tunnel.

Seiji, Hyō, and Yagura discovered the Moon Otsutsuki Clan’s underground cemetery, where a voice recognized their shared bloodline. In the Castle within the moon’s “sun,” the Branch Family elders ordered their people to annihilate the intruders, while an author’s note discussed the clan’s history and Toneri’s likely age.

• Seiji used his Jōgan to see the Moon Otsutsuki Clan’s cemetery and recognized its crest on the stone tablets.
• A strange voice called out, “Bloodline of the same origin!” as Seiji took a defensive stance, though Hyō and Yagura did not seem to hear it.
• The Branch Family elders and their hollow-eyed clansmen gathered in the Castle and discussed their losses, the Great Tenseigan, and the stolen Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
• Great Elder Otsutsuki Hiraishiki ordered the Branch Family to annihilate the intruders from the Ninja World.
• The author’s note speculated that Toneri had probably not yet been born and described the Branch Family’s war, Giant Tenseigan, and unexplained eventual extinction.

Seiji, Hyō, and Yagura encountered a blind, ancient figure whose glowing orb showed Seiji memories of the Moon Otsutsuki Clan’s destruction and a warning from Hamura. The vision left Seiji questioning whether the orb held a prophetic memory or the lingering spirits of the Main Family.

• A mysterious old man appeared before Seiji, Hyō, and Yagura and recognized Seiji’s bloodline.
• The old man collapsed and expelled a glowing orb that resonated with Seiji’s Jōgan and Otsutsuki Bloodline.
• Seiji saw a vision of a war between factions marked by the sun and moon, ending in mass destruction from a purple stone sphere.
• The Main Family’s figures told Seiji that the Branch Family had destroyed them and planned to use the Tenseigan and Giant Tenseigan to control the moon’s descent.
• Otsutsuki Hamura urged Seiji to prevent the Ninja World from being destroyed, and Seiji wondered what had caused the vision.

Seiji learned that the Tenseigan was an advanced form of the Byakugan and resolved to seek the Giant Tenseigan on the moon to transform his bloodline. He, Hyou, and Yagura emerged from the underground cemetery and were ambushed by the Moon Otsutsuki Clan’s puppet army.

• The old man puppet collapsed and, before falling silent, warned that the Otsutsuki had to be stopped.
• Seiji told Hyou and Yagura about the Moon Otsutsuki Clan Branch Family and explained what he knew of the Tenseigan.
• Seiji said he believed the Giant Tenseigan could transform his bloodline, and Hyou agreed to head for the Moon Otsutsuki Clan with him and Yagura.
• After the three left the underground cemetery, Otsutsuki Heishiki’s Puppet Ninja troops attacked them from the sky with Chakra blasts.
• Seiji, Hyou, and Yagura used Body Flicker to evade the first barrage, and Hyou recognized that the puppets operated without Chakra strings.

Yagura, Seiji, and Ice countered the Otsutsuki Clan’s Puppet Ninjas, but Otsutsuki Koshiki took control of one puppet and badly injured Yagura. Koshiki then powered up the puppet with the Giant Tenseigan and prepared another attack.

• Yagura entered his Tailed Beast Cloak state and created a lake with Water Release: Isobu Great Waterfall.
• Seiji used Water Release: Water Formation Pillar while Ice unleashed Hyoton: Ice Blade Barrage, destroying many Puppet Ninjas and Bird Beast Puppets.
• Otsutsuki Koshiki gained Elder Otsutsuki Heishiki’s approval to control a Puppet Ninja using the Giant Tenseigan’s power.
• The puppet attacked Yagura with a chakra sphere before he could complete his Water Mirror, blasting him away and leaving him seriously injured.
• Otsutsuki Koshiki identified himself through the puppet, then replenished it with Giant Tenseigan chakra and formed spinning shuriken from its chakra beads.

Seiji, Yagura, and Bing destroyed Otsutsuki Koshiki’s Puppet Ninja assault and learned how to reach the Artificial Sun. Otsutsuki Heishiki ordered the clan moved to Hamura Shrine and prepared for the three elders to confront them where they could draw on the Giant Tenseigan.

• Yagura used the Water Mirror Technique to reflect Otsutsuki Koshiki’s Chakra shuriken barrage, while Bing froze the mirror into a wall against the Rosary Light Cannon.
• Seiji used the Jōgan to spot the Puppet Ninja’s dwindling chakra, then sliced it in half with Water Severing Wave after Bing’s ice wall shattered.
• Seiji and the others destroyed the remaining Puppet Ninjas, preventing Otsutsuki Koshiki from attacking through them again.
• Seiji recalled the Main Family’s memory images and learned the Space Tunnel’s location, which provided direct access to the Artificial Sun.
• Otsutsuki Koshiki admitted his remote attack had failed, and Otsutsuki Heishiki ordered Otsutsuki Washiki to move the other clan members to Hamura Shrine.
• Otsutsuki Heishiki decided the three elders would face Seiji’s group at the castle, where they could fully use the Giant Tenseigan’s power.

After defeating Otsutsuki Hiraishiki’s Puppet Ninjas, Seiji examined their remains for a way to bring mass-produced independent puppets to Kirigakure. He, Hyou, and Yagura were pulled into a mental world, where Otsutsuki Hamura appeared and summoned the Three-Tails from Yagura’s shoulder.

• Seiji searched the destroyed Puppet Ninjas for usable parts and considered how valuable their mass-production techniques could be to Kirigakure.
• Seiji, Hyou, and Yagura suddenly appeared together in a mental world before an aged soul bearing Byakugan and horns like Seiji’s.
• Seiji recognized the soul as Otsutsuki Hamura and respectfully greeted him as his ancestor, while Hyou and Yagura realized the legendary figure was truly before them.
• Otsutsuki Hamura sensed something, beckoned to Yagura, and caused the Three-Tails to appear on Yagura’s shoulder.
• Otsutsuki Hamura’s soul had awakened when Seiji’s Jōgan first emerged and had left a faint strand of spiritual power that later formed prophetic words in the Main Family’s memory scene.

Otsutsuki Hamura awakened after Seiji and the others' battle and drew them and Isobu into a mental space. After Hamura confirmed that the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had left the moon, Isobu faced the threat of being fused back into the Ten-Tails.

• Otsutsuki Hamura sensed the battle near his tomb, awakened, and learned that civil war had nearly wiped out the Moon Otsutsuki Clan.
• Otsutsuki Hamura brought Seiji, Yagura, and Hyō into his mental space, then drew in Isobu after detecting the Three-Tails inside Yagura.
• Isobu recognized Otsutsuki Hamura and asked whether the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had been unsealed after hearing that Madara Uchiha's descendant possessed the Rinnegan.
• Otsutsuki Hamura confirmed that the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had left the moon, and Seiji said it was now in Kirigakure alongside the Rinnegan.
• Isobu realized that the Rinnegan and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path threatened to fuse him back into the Ten-Tails, a fate he feared more than imprisonment or defeat.

Otsutsuki Hamura explained the origins of chakra, the Ten-Tails, and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, then revealed why he and Hagoromo had died despite their Otsutsuki heritage. Seiji learned that the brothers had truly died but their Six Paths power preserved their souls in the Pure Land, while his concerns about their possible opposition to his plans remained unresolved.

• Otsutsuki Hamura recounted how he and Hagoromo sealed Kaguya, how Hagoromo created the Nine Tailed Beasts, and how the Ten-Tails' body became the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
• Otsutsuki Hamura explained that his descendants twisted his intention to protect the ninja world into a plan to end it.
• Seiji told Otsutsuki Hamura that he was a true Otsutsuki and asked why Hamura and Hagoromo had died young, what Hamura's current state was, and whether Hagoromo still existed.
• Otsutsuki Hamura said that he and Hagoromo were born through the blessings of the ninja world and humanity, so they had human lifespans despite inheriting some of Kaguya's power.
• Otsutsuki Hamura revealed that the brothers had died, but their Six Paths strength gave them Soul Longevity, and the Pure Land received the souls of the dead for their next Reincarnation Cycle.

Otsutsuki Hamura explained how souls endured in the Pure Land and clarified why he and Hagoromo Otsutsuki had sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki. Seiji learned that the brothers would rarely interfere in the Ninja World unless it faced an extreme threat, and he left cautiously reassured about pursuing his plans.

• Otsutsuki Hamura told Seiji that powerful ninja souls could remain in the Pure Land for centuries, making Seiji wonder whether his father, Genji, still existed there.
• Otsutsuki Hamura explained that he could expend Soul Power to affect reality, though doing so was difficult for him.
• Otsutsuki Hamura said he and Hagoromo Otsutsuki had sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki to stop her from sacrificing humans and draining the Ninja World, not to oppose the God Tree itself.
• Otsutsuki Hamura revealed that he and his brother had stayed out of the Ninja World's affairs for a thousand years and would intervene only over Kaguya Otsutsuki or an extreme crisis.
• Seiji understood that the brothers would tolerate his actions if he did not destroy the Ninja World, but he remained wary of trusting Otsutsuki Hamura completely.

Otsutsuki Hamura warned Seiji, Hyou, and Yagura that the Moon Otsutsuki Clan planned to use the Giant Tenseigan to destroy the Ninja World, and they agreed to stop them. Hamura then empowered Seiji’s Jōgan and Otsutsuki Bloodline, leaving Seiji poised to pursue the Giant Tenseigan’s power.

• Otsutsuki Hamura explained that the Moon Otsutsuki Clan intended to crash the moon into the Ninja World with the Giant Tenseigan’s power.
• Third Mizukage Hyou accepted Hamura’s request to stop his descendants, while Seiji considered the threat and remained silent.
• Hamura sent Hyou, Yagura, and Isobu away, then kept Seiji behind for a private conversation.
• Hamura stimulated Seiji’s Jōgan with the Tenseigan’s Pupil Power and declared that he would help him.
• Hamura transferred Tenseigan Pupil Power into Seiji, strengthening his Jōgan and Otsutsuki Bloodline.

Seiji received Otsutsuki Hamura’s insights and power, then promised to confront the Moon Otsutsuki Clan and spare them if circumstances allowed. He and Hyou and Yagura entered the Artificial Sun, where Otsutsuki Koshiki immediately attacked them with the Vacuum Attack.

• Seiji’s Jōgan and bloodline grew stronger after Hamura passed on his power and knowledge of the Byakugan and Tenseigan.
• Seiji understood Hamura’s unspoken wish to preserve the Moon Otsutsuki Clan and promised to stop them, sparing their lives if it was safe.
• Hamura sent Seiji out of the mental space, and Seiji rejoined Hyou and Yagura as they gathered puppet remains.
• Seiji, Hyou, and Yagura traveled through a Space Tunnel into a side hall in the Moon Otsutsuki Clan’s castle within the Artificial Sun.
• Otsutsuki Koshiki drew on the Giant Tenseigan’s power and launched a lethal Vacuum Attack against the three.

Seiji, Hyou, and Yagura confronted Otsutsuki Koshiki after he ambushed them as they emerged from the Space Tunnel. Their counterattack was blocked by Otsutsuki Heishiki, whose power came from the Giant Tenseigan, leaving Seiji to face the three Moon Otsutsuki elders.

• Otsutsuki Koshiki struck Seiji, Hyou, and Yagura with a Vacuum Attack as they exited the Space Tunnel, and Seiji blocked it with Quintuple Rashomon.
• Seiji and Hyou noticed Koshiki's chakra had fallen and attacked him with a Lightning Water Dragon Bullet.
• Otsutsuki Heishiki summoned a giant stone statue resembling Otsutsuki Hamura to stop the combined attack, while Otsutsuki Washiki arrived beside him.
• Seiji used the Jōgan to assess the elders’ strength and realized their Tenseigan Chakra was connected to the Giant Tenseigan at Hamura Shrine.

Seiji, Hyou, and Yagura launched their battles against the Moon Otsutsuki Clan elders, with Seiji confronting Elder Otsutsuki Heishiki. After recognizing Seiji as a serious opponent and drawing more power from the Giant Tenseigan, Heishiki attacked with a powerful chakra shockwave.

• Seiji used Takamagahara to drop six black cubes on the Hamura Statue, while Hyou and Yagura submerged the Castle and divided the battlefield with ice and water.
• Elder Otsutsuki Heishiki destroyed the suppressed statue and rushed Seiji with a palm strike.
• Seiji used Otsutsuki Hamura's Eight Trigrams: Mountain Crusher Palm, matching Heishiki's technique and surprising him.
• Heishiki acknowledged Seiji as a worthy opponent and drew more Tenseigan Chakra from the Giant Tenseigan.
• Heishiki attacked with Eight Trigrams: Sky Palm Wall, and Seiji chose to rely on his original fighting style rather than clash with the technique directly.

Seiji fought Otsutsuki Hiraishiki, using a Tailed Beast Ball to destroy the Hamura Statue before closing in with a feint that let his Shikotsumyaku spikes pierce Hiraishiki. Hiraishiki recognized the Kaguya Clan’s kekkei genkai as he was wounded.

• Seiji combined Fire Release and Wind Release to weaken Otsutsuki Hiraishiki’s Air Wall Palm shockwave, then endured its remaining force with his Shikotsumyaku defense.
• Seiji formed and fired a powerful Tailed Beast Ball at Otsutsuki Hiraishiki, who summoned the Hamura Statue to block it.
• The Tailed Beast Ball shattered the Hamura Statue, and Seiji used the dust and disrupted chakra to rush at Hiraishiki.
• Seiji feinted with three taijutsu attacks before using Dance of the Larch to send bone spikes into Hiraishiki at close range.
• Otsutsuki Hiraishiki retreated but was wounded, then recognized Seiji’s attack as the Kaguya Clan’s Shikotsumyaku.

Seiji outmaneuvered Otsutsuki Hiraishiki’s attraction and repulsion techniques, but Hiraishiki sacrificed his life force to draw power from the Giant Tenseigan and enter Tenseigan Chakra Mode. After mistaking Seiji for a surviving member of the Main Family, Hiraishiki launched a barrage of stone spikes at him.

• Seiji used a Lightning Release shadow clone to counter Hiraishiki’s attraction, then paralyzed him and followed with a Water Severing Wave and a bone-drill attack.
• Hiraishiki sacrificed his bloodline and connected himself to the Giant Tenseigan, restoring his chakra and awakening Tenseigan Chakra Mode at the cost of having only twenty-four hours to live.
• Hiraishiki regained his sight with Tenseigan and changed his chakra cloak from gold to green, reaching his strongest form.
• Hiraishiki recognized Seiji’s Jōgan and resemblance to Hamura, while Seiji called himself Seiji Otsutsuki and claimed Hiraishiki had twisted Hamura’s intentions.
• Hiraishiki mistook Seiji for a survivor of the Main Family and attacked him with a storm of sharp stone spikes propelled by repulsive force.

Seiji fought Otsutsuki Hiraishiki on the Moon, but Hiraishiki’s Tenseigan powers countered Seiji’s shrinking ability, ninjutsu, and close combat. After surviving a devastating attack by teleporting away, Seiji intensified his power and continued attacking, while Hiraishiki absorbed and returned his Wind Release; the battle remained unresolved.

• Seiji dodged Hiraishiki’s stone spikes by shrinking, then struck him with a series of powerful kicks and trapped his landing area in bone spikes.
• Hiraishiki revealed Truth-Seeking Orbs, used them to block Seiji’s bone technique, and attacked with Rosary Light Cannon, forcing Seiji to evade.
• Hiraishiki countered Seiji’s shrinking with a green whirlwind and struck him with Mountain Crusher Palm, injuring him.
• Hiraishiki fused his Truth-Seeking Orbs into Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, but Seiji escaped by teleporting to Takamagahara as the attack tore through the Castle and Artificial Sun.
• Seiji activated Shikotsumyaku Burning Technique and attacked with Wind Release: Vacuum Great Bullet, but Hiraishiki absorbed the jutsu and hurled it back at him.

Seiji fought Otsutsuki Hiraishiki across the castle and onto the Moon, where Hiraishiki summoned the Hamura Statue and unleashed the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion. Seiji blocked the attack with layered defenses, including Daikokuten, but the battle remained unresolved.

• Seiji used the Self-Condemnation Curse Seal to briefly restrain Otsutsuki Hiraishiki, then evaded his pursuit as they fought across the castle and beyond its barrier.
• On the Moon, Otsutsuki Hiraishiki summoned the Hamura Statue while Seiji prepared a new technique he had learned from Otsutsuki Hamura.
• Seiji struck the statue with Divine Air Strike, Mountain Shattering Strike, and Sky Palm Wall, but Hiraishiki's chakra rapidly repaired it.
• Otsutsuki Hiraishiki formed a golden light sword and unleashed the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion at Seiji.
• Seiji summoned five Rashomon gates, reinforced them with Shikotsumyaku, and used Takamagahara to place Daikokuten behind them.
• The Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion sliced through the Rashomon gates, but Daikokuten blocked the attack.
