Chapter Summaries

Seiya attacked Danzō in the Root Base, intent on taking advantage of the Sharingan, Hashirama Cells, and other powers implanted in his body. After overwhelming Danzō with Water Release and a Wind-enhanced bone blade, Seiya forced him to use Wood Release to defend against a powerful slash.

• Seiya regarded Danzō as a trove of valuable abilities, including his Sharingan, Hashirama Cells, and Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan.
• Danzō attacked Seiya with Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere, but Seiya blocked the barrage with Water Style: Water Wall.

• Seiya coated his bone blade with Wind Release Chakra and unleashed a slash that forced Danzō to counter with Wood Style: Violent Gun Tree.

Seiya summoned four different beasts to distract Danzō, then activated the Four April Sacred Domain to counter Danzō’s attempt to use Shisui’s Kotoamatsukami. The two were transported into a lightless, oppressive space, where the confrontation continued.

• Danzō removed the bandages over his right eye, revealing Shisui Uchiha’s Mangekyo Sharingan, and Seiya recognized the threat of Kotoamatsukami.
• Seiya summoned the Heart Moon Fox, Zhang Yue Lu, Net Moon Crow, and Wei Yue Yan, but Danzō dismissed them as ineffective against him.
• Danzō prepared to cast Kotoamatsukami on Seiya, intending to turn him into an obedient ally.
• Seiya declared that Shisui’s eye had weaknesses and activated the Domain Barrier Technique—Four April Sacred Domain.
• Seiya and Danzō were pulled into a pitch-black space formed by the four moonlight constellations.

Seiya trapped Danzō in a darkness barrier, severed his left arm, and immobilized him with bone spikes and a sealing technique. Danzō could not activate his suicide seal or Izanagi, and Seiya reached for his right eye to claim the Sharingan on his arm.

• Seiya explained that his barrier combined darkness with the ability to conceal his presence, then struck Danzō from behind and severed his left arm.

• Tobirama Senju realized Konoha had weakened and explained that the Impure World Reincarnation could be countered by sealing the resurrected or defeating the caster.

Orochimaru kept Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju under his control with an enhanced Impure World Reincarnation, while the Second Hokage recognized that Seiya had escaped the technique himself. As Hashirama’s Wood Release overwhelmed the battlefield and Orochimaru attacked the Third Hokage, Seiya blocked the forest with his Shikotsumyaku, leaving the fight divided between trees and bone spikes.

• Seiya's Simple Domain transported Mei Terumi and Tobirama Senju to an independent space, where Tobirama recognized Seiya's use of Space-Time Ninjutsu.
• Tobirama explained that the space depended on Seiya's Water Clone, and a White Whale swallowed the clone and fled, leaving Mei to face Tobirama alone.
