Chapter Summaries

Kakashi revealed that his left Sharingan had awakened the Mangekyō technique Kamui, and the group connected it to the masked Akatsuki member’s matching right eye. Kakashi rejected the suggestion that the attacker was Obito, but the chapter left his unanswered doubts—and Hyuga Kagami’s certainty about Obito—unspoken.

• Kakashi told Guy and the others that his left eye was a Mangekyō Sharingan with the technique Kamui, which had transported him and his attacker to an unfamiliar space.
• Kakashi asked whether other Uchiha had shared the same Mangekyō technique, but Shisui and Itachi said they knew of no such cases.
• Shisui confirmed that no one outside the hospital room knew Kakashi had a Mangekyō Sharingan and wondered how Akatsuki had learned about it.
• Itachi noted that Obito had given Kakashi his left eye and suggested the masked attacker’s matching right eye was likely Obito’s; Shisui inferred that the attacker wanted to reunite the pair.
• Kakashi insisted Obito was dead and claimed the attacker had merely obtained Obito’s eye, but Guy’s question about why the attacker had spared him left Kakashi without an answer.
• Hyuga Kagami remained certain that Obito had attacked Kakashi but chose not to reveal his identity, fearing other ninja villages would use the revelation against Konoha.

Hyuga Kagami reasoned that Obito had taken Kakashi’s left eye because the God Organization’s strength and the Kirigakure Archive defeat had pushed him to seek more power. He planned to consult the Uchiha clan’s ancient texts that night, then encountered Orochimaru’s group in Konoha as Yamato drew Anko away.

• Hyuga Kagami left the hospital with Guy and Shisui, then concluded that Obito had attacked Kakashi to reclaim his left eye after being threatened by the God Organization.
• Itachi and Shisui warned that Obito might gain Susanoo and Wood Release by possessing both Mangekyou Sharingan and First Hokage cells.
• Hyuga Kagami asked Itachi to take him to the Uchiha clan’s historical records at Naka Shrine that night.
• Hyuga Kagami, Itachi, and Shisui encountered Orochimaru’s Sound ninja group and Anko during a night outing in Konoha.
• Kimimaro recognized Hyuga Kagami as an enemy, while Haku recognized him and lowered his head guiltily.
• Orochimaru signaled Yamato to distract Anko, and Yamato asked her to show him the nearest restroom.

Hyuga Kagami provoked Orochimaru and Kimimaro before joining Shisui and Itachi to infiltrate Naka Shrine. He reached the underground chamber and prepared to examine the altered stone tablet with his Byakugan.

• Hyuga Kagami told Shisui and Itachi to leave, then provoked Orochimaru by claiming strength had earned their obedience and mocking the people around him.
• Kimimaro grew furious, but Orochimaru stopped him and recognized that Hyuga Kagami had deliberately tried to provoke him.
• Hyuga Kagami, Shisui, and Itachi approached Naka Shrine, where Itachi subdued the two Uchiha guards with genjutsu.
• Itachi went to deal with a Three Tomoe Sharingan guard while Hyuga Kagami and Shisui entered the shrine.
• Hyuga Kagami reached the underground chamber and looked toward the altered stone tablet as his Byakugan shone.

Hyuga Kagami used his Tenseigan to decipher the Sage of Six Paths' stone tablet and uncover how Black Zetsu had altered its message to promote the Eye of the Moon Plan. He suspected Black Zetsu had used power inherited from Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and resolved to remain cautious.

• Shisui explained the power of Hyuga Kagami's Tenseigan to Itachi as Hyuga Kagami examined the stone tablet.
• Hyuga Kagami deciphered the tablet's four sections, which described the Uchiha's origins, the Ten-Tails, and how combining Uchiha Yin Release with Senju Yang Release could grant the Rinnegan's power.
• Hyuga Kagami recognized that Black Zetsu had altered the tablet to replace the Sage of Six Paths' message of reconciliation with the Eye of the Moon Plan.
• Hyuga Kagami connected the altered tablet to Madara's decision to obtain the First Hokage's cells and pursue the Eye of the Moon Plan.
• Hyuga Kagami wondered whether Black Zetsu had used Kaguya's chakra to alter the tablet and decided to stay alert to the danger he posed.

Hyuga Kagami assessed the danger Black Zetsu posed and confirmed that Shisui and Itachi rejected the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan. After finding no useful Mangekyō research in the Uchiha records, he tasked Itachi with devising a way to grow stronger and stop the Akatsuki, hoping to uncover how Itachi might obtain the Totsuka Blade.

• Hyuga Kagami worried about how many times Black Zetsu could use Kaguya's power to threaten a Six Paths-level opponent.
• Itachi and Shisui rejected Infinite Tsukuyomi, calling its false world and imposed peace unacceptable.
• Itachi retrieved ancient Uchiha texts, but Hyuga Kagami found they contained no useful Mangekyō Sharingan research.
• Hyuga Kagami asked Itachi to imagine surviving alone against the Akatsuki, and Itachi said he would strengthen himself and stop them.
• Hyuga Kagami ordered Itachi to devise a plan to increase his strength, hoping it might reveal how he could obtain the Totsuka Blade.

After protecting Shisui, Hyuga Kagami reflected on how the hidden God Organization kept Obito and Akatsuki from acting freely. Meanwhile, Kabuto sent Kimimaro after Hyuga Kagami, and Orochimaru allowed the attack as a test while Kimimaro headed through Konoha toward his target.

• Hyuga Kagami told Itachi to stay with Shisui and protect him during his body's adjustment period.
• Hyuga Kagami considered how keeping his identity and the God Organization concealed had left Obito and Akatsuki wary, creating a deadlock.
• Kabuto provoked Kimimaro by comparing the Uchiha boy he had defeated unfavorably with Hyuga Kagami, prompting Kimimaro to demand Hyuga Kagami's address.
• Kabuto gave Kimimaro the address, and Kimimaro left to find Hyuga Kagami.
• Orochimaru confronted Kabuto but approved testing Kimimaro against Hyuga Kagami, whom he could no longer read clearly.
• Kimimaro moved through Konoha's darkness toward Hyuga Kagami's home.

Kimimaro infiltrated Konoha and entered Hyuga Kagami’s home, where Kagami had been waiting to capture him. Kagami sealed Kimimaro and prepared to collect blood and cellular tissue, leaving Kimimaro uneasy about what would happen next.

• Kimimaro knocked out two Konoha patrol ninjas and slipped through the village toward Hyuga Kagami’s home.
• Kimimaro entered Kagami’s house through a second-floor window and found Kagami waiting for him.
• Kagami used a powerful pulling technique to draw Kimimaro close and immobilized him with the Four Symbols Seal.
• Kimimaro considered activating his Curse Mark, but Kagami warned that doing so could bring trouble to Orochimaru.
• Kagami brought out tools for collecting blood and cellular tissue and assured Kimimaro he would not harm him, making Kimimaro feel uneasy.

Hyuga Kagami collected Kimimaro’s tissue samples and warned him about his illness, then turned his attention to accelerating the Kekkei Mōra Project. At Akatsuki’s base, Obito reclaimed his Mangekyō Sharingan, prepared to implant more Sharingan for Izanagi, and learned that Nagato was planning to make Konoha feel pain.

• Hyuga Kagami collected Kimimaro’s cell tissue, blood, and hair, then asked about his worsening health and urged him to tell Orochimaru about his Kekkei Genkai disease.
• Hyuga Kagami removed Kimimaro’s seal and let him leave, then decided to speed up the Kekkei Mōra Project and summoned a ninja crow.
• Obito returned to Akatsuki’s base with his left Mangekyō Sharingan, and Zetsu reported that Nagato’s body was responding well to the First Hokage Cells transplantation.
• Obito ordered Zetsu to continue investigating the God Organization and chose to have one or two Sharingan implanted in his back as sacrifices for Izanagi.
• Zetsu told Obito that Nagato seemed to be planning to make Konoha feel pain.

Hyuga Kagami studied his Demon Buds and chose Danzo as a potential buyer for the Chimera Technique, then began testing Kimimaro’s cells for a Wind Clone. The cells fused with Kagami’s far more readily than expected, suggesting a connection between the Hyuga and Kaguya clans.

• Hyuga Kagami left Konoha for the Aerial Fortress and confirmed that two Demon Buds had successfully fused with his cellular tissue.
• Hyuga Kagami decided to offer Danzo a Demon Bud seedling and the Scroll of the Chimera Technique, believing Danzo’s ambition would make him willing to take the risk.
• Hyuga Kagami filtered Kimimaro’s cellular tissue for three days, removing non-Wind chakra and the Curse Mark’s chakra.
• Seventeen sets of Kimimaro’s cells survived filtering, and ten fused successfully with Hyuga Kagami’s cells.
• Hyuga Kagami concluded that the Hyuga and Kaguya clans were likely related because their cells fused so easily.

Hyuga Kagami trained Gaara to control a small amount of sand quickly and precisely, then began Karin’s ninja training with taijutsu, chakra control, and sealing techniques. After the children started training together, a ninja crow arrived at the Aerial Fortress carrying ancient scrolls and a freshly written letter.

• Hyuga Kagami sparred with Gaara and taught him to rely on precise, fast control of a small amount of sand rather than letting his automatic defense do all the work.
• Gaara accepted Hyuga Kagami’s advice to keep the sand under control even while eating or resting.
• Hyuga Kagami called Karin over and told her she would begin taijutsu and chakra-control training, with Sealing Jutsu as her specialty.
• Hyuga Kagami had Gaara guide Karin through her first taijutsu practice.
• Hyuga Kagami received a ninja crow at the Aerial Fortress and opened its storage scroll, revealing several ancient scrolls and a freshly written letter.

Hyuga Kagami approved Karatachi Yagura’s attendance at the Third Hokage’s secret Five Kage Summit and studied Kirigakure’s Kaguya Clan archives. He discovered that Shikotsumyaku caused a clan-wide disease and realized his Kimimaro-derived Wind Clones might inherit it, leaving him questioning why the Kekkei Genkai contained a toxin.

• Hyuga Kagami received Karatachi Yagura’s letter asking whether he should attend Konoha’s secret Five Kage Summit and recognized the Third Hokage’s plan to unite the villages against the Akatsuki.
• Hyuga Kagami approved Karatachi Yagura’s attendance and sent his reply back with the ninja crow.
• Hyuga Kagami read the Kaguya Clan’s ancient records and learned that Shikotsumyaku gradually poisoned its users, while a Blood Exchange Ritual and a special medicinal herb could eliminate the toxin.
• Hyuga Kagami realized the disease affected the entire Kaguya Clan and that his Wind Clones, grown from Kimimaro’s cells, might carry the same toxin.
• Hyuga Kagami considered how to cure the Wind Clones and wondered why the Kaguya Clan’s Shikotsumyaku contained a toxin its users could barely resist.

Hyuga Kagami investigated the toxin linked to the Kaguya Clan’s Shikotsumyaku and concluded that it was a weakened form of the All-Killing Ash Bones, which could kill Kaguya clansmen as their Kekkei Genkai grew stronger. He realized the clan’s blood replacement ritual only weakened the dangerous trait, leaving him to rely on completing the Kekkei Mōra Project to cure his Wind Release clone.

• Hyuga Kagami extracted a toxin from Kimimaro’s blood, but purified samples destroyed every vessel that touched them.
• Hyuga Kagami connected the toxin’s effects to Kaguya’s All-Killing Ash Bones and suspected the Shikotsumyaku inherited a weakened version of that power.
• Hyuga Kagami deduced that excessive development of the Shikotsumyaku could cause the Kaguya clansmen themselves to die on contact with its trait.
• Hyuga Kagami realized the Kaguya Clan’s blood replacement ritual weakened the Shikotsumyaku rather than curing its underlying disease.
• Hyuga Kagami decided he needed to complete the Kekkei Mōra Project before his Wind Release clone succumbed to the All-Killing Ash Bones trait.

Hyuga Kagami reviewed Itachi’s plan to investigate old Uchiha settlements and trained Gaara and Karin while cultivating two Wind Release clone bodies. After the clones finished developing, he discovered that Type A had a small protrusion on its forehead that might be a horn.

• Hyuga Kagami marked former Uchiha settlements on Itachi’s plan and decided Shisui and Itachi should investigate them after Shisui recovered.
• Hyuga Kagami trained Gaara and Karin for about a month, improving Gaara’s combat skills and teaching Karin taijutsu and sealing techniques.
• Hyuga Kagami’s two Wind Release clone bodies completed their development after more than a month in nutrient tanks.
• Hyuga Kagami labeled the clones Type A and Type B and noticed a protrusion growing from the middle of Type A’s forehead.

Hyuga Kagami discovered that his A-type Wind Release clone body had mutated, giving it a horn-like bone protrusion and extraordinary compatibility, Byakugan, and chakra. He tested the Kaguya Clan’s bone techniques and was stunned when his Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets obliterated a target and pierced a sealed wall.

• Hyuga Kagami used the Tenseigan to confirm that a small bone had grown beneath the A-type Wind Release clone body’s forehead, and suspected an atavistic mutation.
• Hyuga Kagami transferred his soul into the A-type Wind Release clone body and found it exceptionally compatible with him, with a high-purity Byakugan and abundant chakra.
• Hyuga Kagami tested the B-type Wind Release clone body and found it much less exceptional than the mutated A-type body.
• Hyuga Kagami studied the Kaguya Clan’s secret scroll and fired Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets at a target.
• Hyuga Kagami watched the bone bullets destroy the target and punch through the wall behind it, far exceeding what he had expected.

Hyuga Kagami discovered that his A-Type Wind Release Clone could perform the Kaguya Clan’s Willow Dance instinctively, but worried that its powerful Shikotsumyaku would worsen its bloodline disease. He then began cultivating Magnet Release, using his knowledge of the Third Kazekage’s technique, and made iron sand float.

• Hyuga Kagami tested his clone’s instincts against puppets and used the Willow Dance to evade and destroy them with bone blades.
• Hyuga Kagami severed a kunai with a bone spike and decided to limit his use of Shikotsumyaku because he wanted the clone to develop Wind Release instead.
• Hyuga Kagami examined the clone’s chakra attributes and chose to cultivate Magnet Release, which he could attempt because the clone had both wind and lightning chakra.
• Hyuga Kagami summoned the Third Kazekage Human Puppet, borrowed its iron sand, and used wind chakra to stimulate the clone’s lightning chakra.
• Hyuga Kagami focused on the iron sand, and some grains began to float.

Hyuga Kagami began training Magnet Release with his A-type Wind Release clone and produced a magnetic force on his first attempt. Three days later, he used a new technique to overwhelm the Third Kazekage Human Puppet’s iron-sand defense, demonstrating that his chakra intensity surpassed the puppet’s.

• Hyuga Kagami immersed himself in Magnet Release training and unconsciously spent five hours producing enough magnetic force to lift iron sand.
• Hyuga Kagami credited his first-attempt success to the clone body’s strong chakra affinity, his knowledge of Magnet Release, and the iron sand’s sensitivity.
• Three days later, Hyuga Kagami and the Third Kazekage Human Puppet faced off, their magnetic fields pulling iron sand between them.
• Hyuga Kagami formed two spinning iron spikes and launched them at the puppet with Magnet Release: Magnetic Force Impact.
• The spikes disrupted the puppet’s iron-sand shield with electricity and reduced it to scattered grains.
• Hyuga Kagami concluded that his stronger chakra intensity let him overpower the puppet, whose Magnet Release was weaker than the real Third Kazekage’s.

Two months after returning to Konoha, Hyuga Kagami suspected the Third was preparing for an imminent Akatsuki attack and had summoned the other four Kage to the village for his own purposes. He helped Shisui complete his recovery by restoring his Mangekyō Sharingan, while the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was left in storage for Blaze.

• Hyuga Kagami returned to Konoha and learned from his Shadow Clone's memories that the Third had steadily increased the village's security.
• Hyuga Kagami reasoned that Akatsuki might be gathering for a major operation and suspected the Third had called a Five Kage Summit to draw the other four Kage into Konoha.
• Hyuga Kagami visited Shisui and Itachi at the Uchiha Compound, where Shisui said his body had fully adapted to the First Hokage Cells.
• Hyuga Kagami replaced Shisui's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan with his own Mangekyō Sharingan, and Shisui reported that his vision had improved.
• Hyuga Kagami warned Shisui not to use his ocular power for two or three days and stored the strengthened Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan in a nutrient container.
• Shisui worried that Blaze had been without her eyes, while Hyuga Kagami privately noted that she had been soaking in a jar.

Hyuga Kagami sent Shisui and Itachi to search Uchiha ruins for the Totsuka Blade, hoping to gain a weapon against Akatsuki’s space-time enemy. After learning that Karatachi Yagura had secretly reached Konoha, Hyuga Kagami trusted the Third Hokage’s plan and prepared to sell his Chimera Technique and a living Demon Bud; a masked figure then approached Root to request a deal with Danzo.

• Hyuga Kagami suspected Akatsuki’s partner had leaked information about its operation against Konoha and tasked Shisui and Itachi with exploring Uchiha ruins for the Totsuka Blade.
• Hyuga Kagami told Shisui and Itachi that Karatachi Yagura had secretly arrived in Konoha and urged them to focus on finding the weapon while trusting the Third Hokage to protect the village.
• Hyuga Kagami returned home and prepared to sell the Chimera Technique and a living Demon Bud to raise funds.
• A masked figure wearing a black cloak trimmed with gold restrained a Root ninja with black iron sand and asked him to tell Danzo that he wanted to make a deal.

Hyuga Kagami, posing as Wind Chime of the God Organization, entered a Root base to negotiate with Danzo for the Chimera Technique. Danzo accepted the offer of the technique and a living Demon Bud for fifty million, though the low price made him suspicious.

• Hyuga Kagami subdued a Root ninja and demanded to see Danzo, who was inside the base speaking with Orochimaru.
• Danzo revealed that he had subdued the First Hokage Cells, and Orochimaru realized why Danzo’s chakra had grown so powerful.
• A Root ninja reported Wind Chime’s arrival, and Danzo allowed him into the room where Orochimaru was waiting.
• Hyuga Kagami identified himself as Wind Chime and demonstrated Magnet Release to prove he belonged to the God Organization.
• Hyuga Kagami offered Danzo the Chimera Technique and a living Demon Bud for fifty million, and Danzo questioned whether the technique was genuine because the price seemed too cheap.

Hyuga Kagami sold Danzo the Chimera Technique and living Demon Bud for fifty million, only to realize Danzo was far less concerned about their dangers than he had expected. Danzo paid the price and thanked the God Organization, while Hyuga Kagami regretted not asking for more.

• Hyuga Kagami defended his fifty-million price to himself as Danzo dismissed it as cheap.
• Hyuga Kagami gave Danzo the storage Scroll containing the Chimera Technique and living Demon Bud.
• Orochimaru examined the technique and confirmed it was genuine, delighting Danzo.
• Hyuga Kagami used his Byakugan to notice that Danzo's transplanted First Hokage Cells had not fully merged with his chakra.
• Hyuga Kagami warned Danzo that the Demon Bud was dangerous, but Danzo laughed off the risk.
• Danzo ordered a Root ninja to bring the fifty million and thanked the God Organization.
