Chapter Summaries

Hyuga Kagami and the Third Kazekage Human Puppet were blasted from the sky by a Tailed Beast Ball, then confronted the Fourth Raikage and Killer B. As Hyuga Kagami fought back with Susanoo, Killer B’s tentacle-like tails blocked its strike.

• A Tailed Beast Ball struck Hyuga Kagami’s skeletal Susanoo and hurled him and the Third Kazekage Human Puppet through the air, scattering much of the puppet’s iron sand.
• Hyuga Kagami confirmed that the puppet had only temporarily malfunctioned, then spotted the Fourth Raikage rushing toward him through a cloud of dust.
• The Third Kazekage Human Puppet caught Hyuga Kagami and brought him to the ground, where he formed a golden, half-bodied Susanoo.
• The Fourth Raikage used a feinting boulder to distract Hyuga Kagami, then struck his Susanoo at tremendous speed and sent him crashing through trees.
• Killer B appeared beside the Fourth Raikage, who accused Hyuga Kagami and the God Organization of owing Kumogakure a debt and vowed to make them pay.
• Hyuga Kagami anticipated the Fourth Raikage’s next charge and swung Susanoo’s arm, but Killer B’s octopus-like tails blocked the blow.

Hyuga Kagami fought the Fourth Raikage with his Susanoo and the Third Kazekage Human Puppet, narrowly avoiding the Raikage’s attack before countering with golden flaming swords. As his clone neared its limit, he escaped into the air on the puppet and continued bombarding the battlefield to hold off the Raikage and Killer B.

• The Fourth Raikage broke through Hyuga Kagami’s Susanoo and charged inside, but the Third Kazekage Human Puppet restrained him with Iron Sand while Hyuga Kagami retreated and unleashed Susanoo-no-Mikoto.
• Hyuga Kagami’s Susanoo formed twin golden flaming swords and struck at the Fourth Raikage, who escaped the attacks despite the Iron Sand clinging to him.
• The Third Kazekage Human Puppet explained that the Raikage’s powerful Lightning Release chakra interfered with its Magnet Release, while Hyuga Kagami judged the Raikage’s speed and strength a serious threat.
• Coughing blood and realizing his clone was near its limit, Hyuga Kagami attacked the Fourth Raikage and Killer B with his Susanoo amid explosions and burning trees.
• Hyuga Kagami used the smoke to escape on the Third Kazekage Human Puppet and continued hurling flaming swords at the ground to suppress his pursuers.

Hyuga Kagami used Susanoo to attack Kumogakure’s AB duo, then escaped with the Third Kazekage Human Puppet as his clone suffered severe backlash. After the battle, Fugaku revealed the God Organization’s next target was the Tailed Beasts, prompting Danzo and the Fourth Raikage to agree to a Five Kage Summit.

• Hyuga Kagami struck the Fourth Raikage and Killer B with Susanoo’s flaming swords, then withdrew while the clone’s Mangekyō Sharingan and Susanoo faded.
• The Fourth Raikage and Killer B survived the attack, and the Fourth Raikage found that the God Organization members had escaped through the burning forest.
• Danzo and the Fourth Raikage exchanged accusations as Konoha shinobi, including Fugaku and Shisui, arrived at the battlefield.
• Fugaku told Danzo and the Fourth Raikage that the God Organization’s next target was the Tailed Beasts.
• Danzo proposed an immediate Five Kage Summit, and the Fourth Raikage agreed on Kumogakure’s behalf.

Hyuga Kagami finished his Mangekyō Sharingan stimulation experiment and concluded that it amplified users’ existing emotions while damaging their brain and optic nerves. With the experiment over, he considered his next steps toward creating an Uchiha-bloodline clone, narrowing his possible cell donors to four candidates.

• Hyuga Kagami examined the damaged clone, recorded its severe and irreversible nerve damage, and theorized that the Mangekyō Sharingan amplified emotions by stimulating the brain nerves.
• Hyuga Kagami removed Uchiha Ryota’s Mangekyō Sharingan from the clone and destroyed it, ending the experiment after using four costly clones.
• Hyuga Kagami reflected on the strength of Kumogakure’s AB duo and decided that his escape had been difficult, but that the commotion he caused should have cleared suspicion from Shisui.
• Hyuga Kagami planned to ask Shisui for help learning the Uchiha Clan’s Transcription Seal before attempting to fuse the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
• Hyuga Kagami ruled out Sasuke as a cell donor because of possible risks from Indra’s chakra and narrowed his remaining candidates to Uchiha Hideki, Uchiha Ryota, Shisui, and Itachi.

Hyuga Kagami chose Shisui as the best candidate for testing whether Uchiha cells were compatible with his body. After Shisui visited Kagami’s home, Kagami revealed that he possessed two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan taken from Uchiha Hideki and Uchiha Ryota, leaving Shisui stunned and asking how they had awakened them.

• Hyuga Kagami weighed Shisui’s and Itachi’s talent and decided to test Shisui’s cells rather than risk using either of the brothers.
• A week after the God Organization operation, Shisui visited Hyuga Kagami’s home, and Rin asked him to look after Kagami on missions.
• Hyuga Kagami sent Rin away so he could discuss official business with Shisui.
• Hyuga Kagami revealed two pairs of Sharingan belonging to Uchiha Hideki and Uchiha Ryota and said both pairs were Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Shisui recognized Ryota’s eyes as the pair Kagami had used against him and asked how Hideki and Ryota had awakened their Mangekyō Sharingan.

Hyuga Kagami told Shisui about the Stimulation Experiment and explained his plan to fuse two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan into an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. When Shisui asked about the Uchiha Clan’s future, Hyuga Kagami began to warn him that fate might truly exist.

• Shisui called the Stimulation Experiment cold-blooded, then apologized after recognizing that it had helped save the Uchiha Clan and clear his name.
• Hyuga Kagami revealed that he planned to fuse the two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan into an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and explained that Mangekyō use could lead to blindness.
• Hyuga Kagami said he needed the Transcription Seal to test whether the pairs’ unique ocular techniques could be fused, and Shisui offered to ask Fugaku to teach him the technique.
• Hyuga Kagami offered to give Shisui the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan if his own eyes went blind, but Shisui refused the eyes.
• Shisui asked what changes would come to the village and how the Uchiha Clan could move forward, and Hyuga Kagami asked whether he believed in fate.
• Shisui said he did not believe in fate, and Hyuga Kagami replied that the damned fate might really exist.

Hyuga Kagami rejected the idea that fate had predetermined the Uchiha Clan’s future, while Shisui hoped the clan’s conflict with the village could still be resolved. At the Hokage’s Office, the leaders discussed the God Organization and the Five Kage Summit, and the Third Hokage revealed that Anbu Team 11 would protect Naruto.

• Hyuga Kagami told Shisui that nothing was predetermined, and Shisui said he believed the Uchiha Clan and the village could resolve their conflict.
• Rin prepared dinner for Hyuga Kagami and Shisui, and the three spent the evening talking together.
• The Third Hokage, Danzo, Jiraiya, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura discussed the God Organization’s new Magnet Release member and its threat to the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
• Jiraiya urged the Third Hokage to strengthen Naruto’s protection, while Danzo proposed bringing Naruto into Root and the Third Hokage refused.
• The Third Hokage assigned Danzo to represent Konoha at the Five Kage Summit and told Jiraiya that Anbu Team 11 would protect Naruto.

The Third Hokage assigned Anbu Team 11 to protect Naruto around the clock while Jiraiya prepared to find Tsunade. Hyuga Kagami studied the Transcription Seal and successfully used it on the Water Clone Technique, though the attempt left him severely drained.

• Jiraiya told the Third Hokage he intended to bring Tsunade back, then described the God Organization's Susanoo and the destruction at Hazel City Mountain.
• The Third Hokage ordered Anbu Team 11 to protect Uzumaki Naruto at all times, and Kakashi assigned himself and Might Guy the first shift.
• Shisui told Hyuga Kagami that Fugaku had taught him the Transcription Seal and shared its Scroll and some cell tissue.
• Hyuga Kagami studied the Transcription Seal in his secret laboratory and used Tenseigan chakra to apply it to the Water Clone Technique.
• Hyuga Kagami staggered from the technique's heavy chakra cost, then examined the Water Clone Technique.

Hyuga Kagami tested the Transcription Seal by sealing Rotation into a Water Clone Technique and confirmed that it suppressed chakra responses while dividing the power of his ocular technique. After reclaiming the power and mastering the seal, he prepared to begin fusing the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

• Hyuga Kagami used the Tenseigan to detect a faint chakra response where he had applied the Transcription Seal to the Water Clone Technique.
• Hyuga Kagami tested Rotation with his Yin Release main body and found that its force and speed had weakened after he sealed part of its power into the clone.
• Hyuga Kagami performed Soul Descent into the Water Clone Technique and confirmed that its Byakugan contained the sealed Rotation, which was also weakened.
• Hyuga Kagami returned to his Yin Release main body and reclaimed the ocular power he had sealed into the clone.
• Hyuga Kagami concluded that the Transcription Seal could suppress chakra responses and confirmed that he had mastered the Uchiha technique.
• Hyuga Kagami began arranging his plan to fuse the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, starting with sealing Uchiha Hideki's Heavenly Rock Door into Uchiha Ryota's right Mangekyō Sharingan.

Hyuga Kagami prepared Uchiha Ryota and Uchiha Hideki for an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan fusion, first sealing the “Heavenly Rock Door” technique into Ryota’s right eye. He completed the transplant of Hideki’s Mangekyō Sharingan into Ryota’s eye sockets and left Ryota to undergo the fusion while unconscious.

• Hyuga Kagami used a Water Clone Technique with Uchiha Hideki’s Mangekyō Sharingan to seal “Heavenly Rock Door” into Uchiha Ryota’s right eye.
• Hyuga Kagami restored the Water Clone Technique’s incomplete Byakugan and chose Uchiha Ryota as the host for the fusion, using Ryota’s Mangekyō Sharingan as its foundation.
• Hyuga Kagami transplanted Hideki’s Mangekyō Sharingan into Ryota’s left eye socket, where the two pairs showed no rejection.
• Hyuga Kagami completed the same transplant in Ryota’s right eye socket, then covered Ryota’s eyes and waited for the fusion to take place.

Hyuga Kagami found that the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan fusion in Uchiha Ryota was progressing slowly, then began developing a Fire Clone using Uchiha cells. After repeated failures and a defective female embryo, he expanded his cell samples to other Uchiha.

• Hyuga Kagami estimated that the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan fusion in Uchiha Ryota would take at least three months because Ryota was unconscious.
• Hyuga Kagami filtered his and Uchiha Shisui's cells for the Fire Clone project, but the centrifuge destroyed most samples and only one of 140 cell batches fused successfully.
• Hyuga Kagami found that the surviving embryo was badly damaged and weak, but placed it in a cultivation device rather than destroying it.
• Hyuga Kagami attempted more than a thousand additional fusions with Shisui's cells over the following week, but none succeeded.
• Hyuga Kagami saw that the defective embryo had mutated into a female and expanded his cell-sampling range to include Itachi, Sasuke, Ryota, and Hideki.

Hiruko’s Chimera Technique advanced with help from Shennong and Yomi, and he asked Pain to supply bloodline shinobi for his Bloodline Absorption Plan. After Obito warned that the God Organization threatened Akatsuki, Pain agreed to the request, and Obito took responsibility for finding a Storm Release shinobi and an Uchiha.

• Hiruko’s experiment ended with his test subject exploding, but he concluded that Dark Medical Ninjutsu improved the chances of success with a stronger subject.
• Hiruko told Shennong and Yomi that he was ready to begin his Bloodline Absorption Plan and needed suitable bloodline shinobi.
• Hiruko asked Pain to provide Swift Release, Steel Release, Storm Release, and Dark Release shinobi, as well as an Uchiha with the Sharingan.
• After Hiruko left, Obito warned Pain and Konan that the God Organization threatened Akatsuki and that the Five Great Shinobi Villages were discussing a summit.
• Pain agreed to grant Hiruko’s request, and Obito said he would find a Storm Release shinobi and an Uchiha.

Akatsuki split up to hunt shinobi with rare bloodline abilities, while Uchiha Shinichi and Biwa Jūzō fought a Swift Release shinobi in the Land of Whirlpools. Shinichi struggled to keep up with their opponent and was warned to take the God Organization’s missions seriously.

• Hiruko argued with Sasori about his experiments and claimed Sasori’s puppet body was a mistake.
• Shennong and Kakuzu discussed the God Organization’s strength and Kakuzu’s losses as black markets faced crackdowns.
• At a fork in the road, Hiruko and Shennong headed for the Land of Bears to pursue a Dark Release shinobi, while Sasori and Kakuzu went toward the Land of Earth to pursue a Steel Release shinobi.
• In the Land of Whirlpools, a Swift Release shinobi sent Shinichi crashing through trees and attacked him before Biwa Jūzō intervened.
• Biwa Jūzō told Shinichi that the leader expected them to capture the opponent, and Shinichi admitted he had been slacking on previous missions.

Shinichi and Biwa Jūzō defeated a Swift Release ninja, while Obito set a plan in motion to use the Five Kage Summit to frame the God Organization. The chapter ended with Obito abducting Aida as the Raikage pursued Zetsu.

• Shinichi and Biwa Jūzō used fire, water, mist, and genjutsu to defeat the Swift Release ninja.
• Zetsu told Obito that the Five Kage Summit would be held in Hengxu City and that the Raikage was traveling there with Aida and another Kumogakure Jonin.
• Obito decided to frame the God Organization and ordered Zetsu to disguise himself and lure the Raikage away from his guards.
• Zetsu appeared before the Raikage, who charged after him despite Aida's warning.
• Obito emerged through a distorted vortex and dragged Aida into it.

Hyuga Kagami’s attempts to fuse Uchiha cells produced three deformed clones and one damaged female clone made from his and Shisui’s cells. He transferred his soul into the female clone and found that it accepted him well, then wondered how much power it would gain from an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan transplant.

• Hyuga Kagami examined three grotesquely deformed clones and realized his experiments had nearly exhausted his medicinal ingredients.
• Hyuga Kagami recognized that Shisui’s cells were the only Uchiha cells he had tested that were even slightly compatible with his own.
• Hyuga Kagami removed the damaged female clone from its nutrient tank and used the Tenseigan’s Soul Descent Technique to enter its body.
• Hyuga Kagami found that the female clone accommodated his soul and that its incomplete Byakugan became normal when he possessed it.
• Hyuga Kagami wondered how much of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan’s power the clone could wield after a transplant.

Hyuga Kagami continued developing his female clone and worried that Orochimaru might uncover the God Organization’s secrets through Haku. While protecting Naruto with Shisui, he learned that the God Organization had attacked the Raikage’s party, and Kakashi revealed that the attacker’s identity remained unknown.

• Hyuga Kagami checked Uchiha Ryota’s fusing Mangekyō Sharingan and decided to develop his female clone while continuing to improve cell fusion technology.
• Hyuga Kagami returned the female clone to its nutrient tank and worried that Orochimaru might connect Haku’s Ice Release techniques to the God Organization’s River Lord.
• Hyuga Kagami and Shisui watched over Naruto, who sat alone on a swing, when Kakashi and Guy arrived with news of an attack on the Raikage’s party.
• Kakashi told Hyuga Kagami and Shisui that the God Organization had killed one of the Raikage’s guards and that Aida, a Storm Release ninja, was missing.
• Kakashi explained that an Earth Release ninja had lured the Raikage away, but the attacker who struck the guards had left no clues.

Hyuga Kagami investigated the attack on the Raikage’s guards and suspected Hiruko might be involved in Aida’s disappearance. He sent Fortune-Bringer to deliver a message to Shinichi, while Uchiha Hiiragi encountered someone emerging from a strange vortex.

• Shisui and Kakashi concluded that the attackers likely targeted Aida and her Storm Release bloodline, while Hyuga Kagami considered whether Hiruko was involved.
• Hyuga Kagami told Shisui that someone was using the God Organization’s name and urged him to protect Uzumaki Naruto.
• Hyuga Kagami paid Fortune-Bringer two thousand yen to relay a message to Shinichi.
• Uchiha Hiiragi trained harder after remembering how the Flame Demon had frightened him.
• A strange vortex appeared before Uchiha Hiiragi, and a figure stepped out.

Obito captured Uchiha Hiiragi, while Hiruko’s group captured a Dark Release bloodline limit ninja and discussed their other targets and planned fusion. Hyuga Kagami received a message from Shinichi that confirmed his suspicions, though its contents were not revealed.

• Obito phased through Uchiha Hiiragi’s attacks and dragged him into a vortex before disappearing.
• Kakuzu and Sasori carried off the captured Steel Release bloodline limit ninja, hoping Hiruko’s experiment would preserve him.
• Hiruko and Shennong defeated and captured a Dark Release bloodline limit ninja using explosive feathers fired by the chimera.
• Hiruko said he planned to complete his fusion ritual during an aurora at the end of the next month and identified Uchiha Shinichi’s group as the main remaining concern.
• Fortune-Bringer delivered Shinichi’s scroll to Hyuga Kagami, who read it and said it confirmed his suspicions.

Hyuga Kagami learned that Hiruko was capturing bloodline ninjas to complete the Bloodline Absorption Plan and feared the perfected Chimera Technique would become difficult to obtain. Meanwhile, Uchiha Hiiragi disappeared, and tensions flared between the Raikage and Tsuchikage at the Five Kage Talks, where Danzo’s authority was challenged.

• Hyuga Kagami read Shinichi’s report that Akatsuki had captured a Swift Release bloodline ninja and realized Hiruko’s Chimera Technique had advanced rapidly.
• Hyuga Kagami sent Shinichi a secret letter ordering him to monitor Hiruko and report his targets, successes, and planned fusion ritual.
• Shisui told Hyuga Kagami that Uchiha Hiiragi had disappeared, leading Hyuga Kagami to suspect Hiruko and possibly Obito had taken him for his Sharingan.
• At the Five Kage Talks, the Fourth Raikage accused Iwagakure of supporting the God Organization, and he and the Third Tsuchikage prepared to fight.
• Danzo urged the Kage to set aside their prejudices, but the Raikage demanded to know where the Hokage was and why Danzo was attending in his place.

At the Five Kage Summit, Danzo persuaded the Five Great Shinobi Villages to cooperate against the God Organization and Akatsuki, though they rejected his proposal for a joint force. After learning the summit had ended, Obito considered ambushing the Kage on their return journeys and focused on the Fourth Kazekage and Fourth Mizukage.

• The Fourth Raikage challenged Danzo’s authority, and Danzo realized he lacked standing at the summit without the Hokage title.
• The Raikage presented evidence that the God Organization included bloodline-limit Rogue Ninja, prompting Chiyo and Karatachi Yagura to address the Third Kazekage’s death and Kirigakure’s missing Ice Release users.
• Danzo warned that the God Organization might target the Tailed Beasts, and all four Kage agreed to oppose it and Akatsuki.
• The Kage rejected Danzo’s plan for a joint punitive force and agreed instead to handle threats within their own borders and share intelligence.
• Obito learned from Zetsu that the summit had ended and the Kage were returning, then considered ambushing the Fourth Kazekage or Fourth Mizukage.
