• The creature tore free of its clothing, revealing more than a dozen black tentacles, and attacked the team.
• Sasuke burned one tentacle with Great Fireball Technique, but its small wound quickly healed.

Sasuke and Naruto fought the human-demon fused monster in the cave, then dragged it outside and bombarded it. The ruined monster triggered a massive earthquake before a crack swallowed it, and Sasuke and Naruto reunited safely with Sakura, who had rescued the missing Scout Ninja.

• A crack opened beneath the monster and swallowed it, and Sasuke and Naruto reunited with Sakura, who had rescued the unconscious Scout Ninja.

Sasuke and Naruto battled the enormous stone-bodied monster and exposed its vulnerable true body. They wounded it and left it temporarily unable to control its tentacles, as Sasuke prepared to attack again.

• Sasuke told Sakura to leave with the injured ninja while he and Naruto stayed behind to face the monster.
• The monster emerged from the fissure in a huge stone shell and attacked Naruto and Sasuke.
• Naruto's Shadow Clones blasted the monster's tentacle knot with Tailed Beast Balls, destroying its tentacles and forcing it to absorb stones to repair itself.
• Sasuke split open the monster's head and found its true body inside, then Naruto struck it with a Tailed Beast Ball.
• The monster's wound began healing, but its tentacles shriveled and became unusable, so Sasuke drew his sword and faced one of them.

Sakura escaped the village while Naruto and Sasuke pursued the monster into a fissure. Sasuke used Amaterasu to force the monster to shed its tentacles, but when they began regenerating, he set the monster's body and head ablaze.

Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura sealed the monster and explored the collapsed cave, where they found a vast interior filled with the Oni Domain’s strange energy. Two days later, they returned to Hidden Leaf Village with the rescued Scout Ninjas, and Hinata checked on one survivor before discussing the Puppet Corpses with Tsunade.

• Sasuke sealed the defeated monster in a scroll and stored it in his tool pouch.
• Sakura insisted that the team investigate the collapsed cave, and Sasuke used Susanoo to open a way inside.
• The team found that the cave was much larger than expected and that the Oni Domain’s foreign energy poured from its entrance.

• Hinata visited the survivor in the hospital, and Tsunade confirmed that Sasuke had awakened Mangekyo.
• Hinata told Tsunade that the Puppet Corpses held only fragments of human memories and personalities.

Hinata investigated the special Puppet Corpses and discovered that the black sphere beneath Longevity Village was a god corrupted into an Evil God by Weird Power. She realized it was growing stronger and prepared to see whether she could destroy it.

• Hinata told Tsunade that the special Puppet Corpses were under research, while Tsunade declined to observe the tentacled monster and assured Sakura that mastering Monster Strength punches would help her face the Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Hinata visited the underground laboratory, where researchers were studying the special Puppet Corpses and one tentacle from the monster she had captured.
• Hinata traveled to Longevity Village and found a black sphere floating above an altar in a cave.
• Hinata deduced that the sphere was a god born from the villagers’ faith, corrupted by Weird Power into an Evil God that had also controlled and corrupted the villagers.
• Hinata saw the Evil God absorbing Weird Power and growing stronger, and decided she had to try to kill it.

Hyuga Hinata attacked the Evil God's true body with lightning, discovering that powerful strikes drained its energy even though it showed no visible damage. She split the Evil God in two with the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, but it survived and rejoined itself.

• Hyuga Hinata struck the Evil God's true body with repeated lightning bolts, and it began absorbing Weird Power faster.
• Hinata unleashed a massive pillar of lightning that reduced the Evil God's energy by at least twenty percent.
• The Evil God formed a stone giant around itself, which repeatedly reassembled after Hinata cut it apart.
• Hinata used the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion to slice through the stone giant and split the Evil God's true body in two.
• The Evil God's two halves touched and restored its original form, revealing that it had survived the attack.

Hinata discovered that the evil god had marked Naruto and the others so he could observe them, and she decided to stop him before he killed them. She injured him with Truth-Seeking Orbs, weakening him, though he remained powerful.

• Hinata recalled that physical attacks could not easily kill demons and saw that the evil god had weakened slightly after being cut in half.
• The evil god took on Hinata's appearance, and Hinata realized he had a soul that her Truth-Seeking Orbs could attack.
• Hinata pierced the evil god with Truth-Seeking Orb spears, causing him intense pain as he tried to imitate her attacks.
• The evil god returned to his spherical form and expelled the spears, but Hinata saw that his aura had become extremely weak.

Hinata unleashed a devastating lightning attack on the evil god after sensing an imminent threat to her life. Far beyond the Shinobi World, a colossal planet-devouring beast set course for the planet, while powerful figures sensed Hinata’s attack but could not see its source.

• Hinata considered erasing the evil god’s soul while preserving his valuable corpse, but a sudden premonition warned her that her life was in danger.
• A colossal beast emerged from a dead star it had recently devoured and headed toward the Shinobi World, drawn by the planet’s immense vitality.
• Hinata unleashed her strongest lightning attack, turning everything within three kilometers into Lightning Purgatory and causing destruction and injuries far beyond the area.
• The Sage of Six Paths sensed Hinata’s power but could not see her location, and he worried as the Shinobi World grew increasingly chaotic.
• Naruto, Sasuke, Jiraiya, and other beings capable of sensing Nature Energy felt the lightning’s danger, while Naruto and Sasuke recognized that it had appeared near Longevity Village.

Sasuke and Naruto rushed to the Hokage Building after seeing Lightning Purgatory, but found Hinata unharmed. Hinata had killed the Evil God and sealed his true body, then considered how to handle its Weird Power as she sensed a distant crisis approaching from the stars.

• Sasuke saw Lightning Purgatory descend near Longevity Village and ran out of the Uchiha Clan Grounds.
• Sasuke and Naruto feared Hinata was fighting the black sphere and hurried to the Hokage Building, where they found her with Jiraiya and confirmed she was unharmed.
• After Naruto and Sasuke left, Hinata sensed a dangerous presence approaching from the stars and estimated it would reach the Shinobi World decades later.
• Hinata revealed the Evil God's sealed true body and explained that she had used the Void Sword God at full power to erase his soul and defeat him.
• Hinata considered making an Evil God Clone or fusing with Weird Power, but kept those plans in reserve because the power could erode her.

Hinata experimented with energy taken from the Evil God's body, seeking to create transformed beings who retained their sense of self. Meanwhile, a Kekkei Genkai user who robbed a Kirigakure vault hid underground as the village searched for the thief, and the alarm had just sounded when he took the scrolls.

• Hinata extracted energy from the Evil God's body and found it could turn mice into Puppet Corpses, though some mice exploded when she used too much.
• Hinata decided that the energy needed to be altered if she wanted transformed creatures to remain alive and retain their identities.
• The Land of Water's daimyo trained people who had awakened Kekkei Genkai, while Kirigakure struggled with its limited supply of ninjutsu and secret techniques.
• Mei Terumi discovered that a thief had taken every scroll from a Kirigakure treasure vault and mocked the village with the words “So poor.”
• Kirigakure went into lockdown, while the thief hid about a hundred meters underground using his burrowing Kekkei Genkai.
• The thief recalled taking all the scrolls from a lightly guarded vault, but the alarm sounded as soon as he touched them.

Ichiro stole scrolls from Kirigakure, copied their contents, and brought them to the underground complex beneath the capital of the Land of Water. The leader praised him and promised to recommend him for a reward from the Daimyo.

• Ichiro stole several scrolls from Kirigakure and hid underground until the powerful Chakra nearby disappeared.
• Ichiro escaped Kirigakure, copied the scrolls’ contents in a cave, and burned the originals.
• Three Kirigakure ninja found the ashes but could not track Ichiro or determine why he had taken the scrolls.
• Ichiro traveled underground to the capital of the Land of Water and met Shinji in the secret complex he had helped build.
• Ichiro gave the copied scrolls to the leader, who praised him and left to deliver them to the Daimyo.

Hinata used Chakra to modify diluted Evil God's Power and developed a black reagent, then tested it on white mice. The mice died and vanished without a trace, leaving her afraid that all her experimental results were useless.

• Hinata discovered that Chakra could transform diluted Evil God's Power, but her experiments and frequent time rewinds consumed more Chakra than she had available.
• Hinata decided to pursue the other half of the Nine-Tails sealed by the Third Hokage rather than capture more tailed beasts, though she first needed to study the Reaper Death Seal.
• Hinata injected a restless white mouse with the black reagent, and it convulsed, died, and gradually vanished along with its spiritual body.
• Hinata injected a second mouse and repeatedly rewound time, but the mouse still died, making her fear that her reagents had all failed.

Hinata tested the Mutation Potion on animals, discovered that ordinary creatures could not withstand its Chakra, and strengthened a wolf, an eagle, and a snake until they survived the mutation. The three beasts gained shadow abilities and could hide inside Hinata’s shadow.

• After repeated test animals died, Hinata concluded that the potion’s high Chakra content overwhelmed their physiques.
• Hinata caught a wolf, an eagle, and a snake, enhanced their physiques with three generations of potions, and taught them to refine Chakra.
• After half a month, Hinata injected the three beasts with Mutation Potion, and all three survived and mutated.
• The beasts turned black and learned to shrink into shadows that could hide inside Hinata’s shadow.
• Hinata’s experiments revealed that the three beasts could manipulate shadows and attack with shadow spikes.

Hinata suspected the Sage of Six Paths had been collecting powerful souls through centuries of war, then tested her three mutated creatures and learned that a laboratory had extracted diluted Evil God's Power from Puppet Corpses. She returned home after hearing that Neji’s eyes had evolved.

• Hinata reasoned that the Sage of Six Paths might be harvesting the souls of strong shinobi to prepare for enemies from the stars.
• Hinata tested her three mutated creatures in the Land of Wind and found that they ranked among the Shinobi World's strongest before they hid in her shadow.
• Researchers showed Hinata diluted Evil God's Power extracted from Puppet Corpses, and the creatures in her shadow craved it as food.
• Hinata returned to the Hyuga clan after learning that Neji's eyes had evolved following his training outside the village.

Hinata discovered that Neji’s newly evolved Jōgan could see and control space, then the Hyuga Clan announced his eye’s name. Inspired by Hinata’s ability to control lightning, Sasuke began developing a weather-dependent ninjutsu and waited for rain so he could test it.

• Hinata returned home and watched Neji spar with Hizashi, then asked Neji to reveal his evolved eyes.
• Neji showed his pale blue eyes with black sclerae, and Hinata learned that he could see her concealed Space Rift.
• Hinata guided Neji as he successfully created and controlled a Space Rift, revealing that his eyes could manipulate space.
• The Hyuga Clan announced that Neji had awakened the Jōgan, while other Hidden Leaf clans worried about the Hyuga and Uchiha Clans’ strength.
• Sasuke decided to wait before challenging Neji and began developing a ninjutsu that would let him control lightning during rainy weather.

The Sage of Six Paths hesitated to repair the weakening barrier around the Shinobi World, while Hinata prepared to create a Mutation Potion by gathering the tailed beasts. Hinata also summoned the Shinigami to retrieve souls sealed by the Reaper Death Seal, leaving him connected to a soulless puppet and under her scrutiny.

• The Sage of Six Paths saw that the barrier around the Shinobi World was weakening and considered using its disappearance to test Hyuga Hinata.
• Hinata focused on creating a Mutation Potion and decided she needed the Ten-Tails' enormous supply of Chakra.
• Hinata contacted Nagato, who agreed to help capture the tailed beasts, and he and Konan set out to capture the Six-Tails in the Land of Water.
• Hinata traveled to a Land of Whirlpools ruin in Konoha, found the mask that summoned the Shinigami, and used a puppet and a Chakra Gem to call him.
• The Shinigami treated Hinata's puppet as a sacrifice, and Hinata suspected he was watching her while considering studying his abilities.

Hinata used the Reaper Death Seal to recover the Third Hokage's soul and the Yin half of the Nine-Tails, then fed that half to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. As Nagato rapidly delivered more Tailed Beasts, the statue reached six and a half open eyes, while Hinata planned how to gather enough chakra to revive the Ten-Tails.

• Hinata controlled a puppet to release the Reaper Death Seal, sealed the Third Hokage's soul in a Chakra Gem, and stored the Yin half of the Nine-Tails.
• Hinata brought the Yin Nine-Tails to the underground chamber and used puppets to make the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path absorb it.
• After the statue absorbed the Nine-Tails' chakra, Hinata planned to find the Gold and Silver Brothers' relics and increase her extraction of Nine-Tails chakra for future Ten-Tails revival.
• Jiraiya overheard villagers discussing the higher cost of Chakra Gems and mistakenly suspected Hinata was using them to recover from an injury.
• Nagato captured the Six-Tails and another Tailed Beast and delivered them to the statue, which opened six and a half eyes.

Nagato brought the last tailed beasts to Hinata, who prepared to revive the Ten-Tails while the villages braced for an attack on Hidden Leaf. After feeding it the Gold and Silver Brothers’ Chakra and a mountain of Chakra Gems, Hinata awakened the Ten-Tails, which immediately struck at her.

• Mei Terumi found Bubble, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, dead, and the villages realized someone was collecting tailed beasts.
• Nagato brought the remaining two tailed beasts to Hinata, leaving only Hidden Leaf Village’s Nine-Tails uncollected.
• Sasuke volunteered to guard Naruto, while Neji watched Hidden Leaf Village from Hokage Rock and Hinata let them remain vigilant.
• Hinata moved the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path into a stable Alternate Dimension, where it absorbed the Eight-Tails’ Chakra.
• Hinata revived the Gold and Silver Brothers and fed their Chakra and a mountain of Chakra Gems to the statue, fully awakening the Ten-Tails.
• The Ten-Tails transformed and attacked Hinata, shaking the Alternate Dimension with its strike.

Hinata subdued the Ten-Tails and considered using it with the Evil God's Power to study human mutation, choosing Uchiha Shisui and two Anbu as subjects. Meanwhile, Kirigakure faced a sudden funding crisis that Mei Terumi feared could reignite unrest in the village.

• Hinata subdued the Ten-Tails with her Rinnegan, repaired the Alternate Dimension, and left the beast there because she had no suitable vessel for it.
• Hinata considered fusing the Ten-Tails with the Evil God but decided to observe the effects of mutation further before taking that risk.
• Hinata chose Uchiha Shisui and two Anbu members as human mutation subjects and began preparing a more refined Mutation Potion using Ten-Tails Chakra.
• The Land of Water's daimyo cut Kirigakure's funding in half, leaving Mei Terumi worried about the village's recovery and unity.
