Chapter Summaries

After an explosion damaged the underground shelter, Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke rescued villagers and encountered Neji. A boulder blocking their passage exploded, revealing Konoha shinobi fighting a red-cloud-cloaked enemy, including Rin.

• Neji warned the others and pulled Hinata back as the boulder blocking the passage exploded.
• The children saw Konoha shinobi fighting a red-cloud-cloaked shinobi, and Hinata recognized Rin.

Anko, Rin, Shizune, and Izumi struggled to stop the Asura Path from reaching the shelter, but their attacks failed to damage it. When the Asura Path threatened Rin and the children, Rin called Hyuga Kagami’s name and her left eye unleashed a repulsive force that destroyed it.

• The Asura Path overwhelmed the shelter guards, leaving Anko, Rin, Shizune, and Izumi to face it in the passageway.

• Rin’s left eye turned blue and released a powerful repulsive force that smashed the Asura Path into the wall, leaving her drained and confused.

Rin unexpectedly destroyed the Asura Path in Konoha’s shelter, while Nagato’s attack devastated the village aboveground. As Hyuga Kagami and Tsunade responded to the destruction, Konoha’s Intelligence Division located Nagato, but contact with the Hokage Building had been lost.

• Shizune confirmed that the Asura Path was destroyed, and Rin concealed her uncertainty about how she had defeated it.
• Nagato sensed the Asura Path’s destruction and extended the Deva Path’s arm toward Konoha’s shelter, where the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was hiding.

• Konan destroyed a goshawk that had approached Nagato and reported that their location had been exposed, but Nagato remained unconcerned.
• Yamanaka Inoichi found Nagato’s exact location and tried to notify the Hokage, then learned that contact with the Hokage Building had been lost.

• After an earthquake cut off communications, Yamanaka Inoichi learned that Konoha had been destroyed and went to the Root base.
• Yamanaka Inoichi helped the four Kage agree to attack Akatsuki, and Mitokado Homura joined the nearly hundred-strong force heading for Nagato’s hideout.

• Sage Shima pulled the Preta Path into Jiraiya’s reach, and Jiraiya crushed its head with a punch.
• The Deva Path challenged Jiraiya to understand the pain of watching his village suffer, then sent Hyuga Kagami flying with Shinra Tensei.
• Hyuga Kagami reappeared behind the Deva Path and narrowly missed cutting it, then spat blood as his A-type clone body neared collapse and its Shikotsumyaku grew stronger.

Hyuga Kagami and Jiraiya confronted Nagato’s Deva Path, but Nagato rejected Jiraiya’s pleas and attacked them. As Kagami’s Wind Release Clone deteriorated, Nagato trapped both men in an unusually powerful Planetary Devastation, leaving them unable to struggle.

• Nagato demanded Wind Chime’s name, and Hyuga Kagami identified himself as a member of the God Organization.
• Jiraiya urged Nagato to stop his destructive actions, but Nagato argued that people had to experience pain to understand peace and blasted Jiraiya away with Shinra Tensei.
• Hyuga Kagami endured the worsening effects of his bloodline disease and decided the Deva Path’s importance to Nagato could be used to their advantage.
• Jiraiya got back up and prepared to fight, but Nagato used Planetary Devastation to pull Jiraiya, Hyuga Kagami, and the surrounding debris into the air.
• Hyuga Kagami spotted the technique’s black core, while Jiraiya warned that Nagato’s gravitational pull was stronger than before and impossible to resist.

Nagato’s enhanced Planetary Devastation trapped Hyuga Kagami and Jiraiya, but Hyuga Kagami broke free and drove the Deva Path into a deadly attack. A distorted vortex pulled the Deva Path away, and Hyuga Kagami realized he had finally caught his real target.

• A distorted vortex sucked the Deva Path away, and Hyuga Kagami silently celebrated that he had finally caught his target.

Hyuga Kagami used the fight against the Deva Path to lure Obito into becoming tangible while rescuing it, then launched a surprise attack from underground. Obito's Susanoo failed to stop Hyuga Kagami's bone blade, which struck him as the chapter ended.

• Hyuga Kagami emerged from underground and attacked Obito while Obito used Kamui to rescue the Deva Path.
• Hyuga Kagami's plan relied on Obito risking a rescue to protect Yahiko's corpse and on Obito's confidence after recovering his left eye.
• Obito summoned Susanoo to block Hyuga Kagami's bone blade without abandoning his rescue of the Deva Path.
• Hyuga Kagami's bone blade shattered and withered Susanoo, and Obito felt as though his body had been cut in half.

Hyuga Kagami forced Obito to use Izanagi with a surprise attack, but Obito revived on the battlefield. As Konoha forces gathered for another confrontation, Shisui and Itachi returned to find the village devastated.

• Hyuga Kagami struck Obito with an All-Killing Ash Bones blade, but Obito’s vanishing remains revealed that he had used Izanagi.

• Shisui and Itachi reached Konoha’s outer wall and saw that the village had been destroyed.

Shisui and Itachi witnessed Konoha’s destruction and spotted battles involving a turquoise Susanoo and Dust Release, then split up to support the village and forest. At the village battlefield, Hyuga Kagami realized Obito had spare Sharingan that let him survive Izanagi, but a crow’s genjutsu caught him before he could act.

• Shisui and Itachi saw a turquoise Susanoo rise above Konoha’s ruins and activated their Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Shisui and Itachi spotted Dust Release and explosions in the forest, and concluded that the Five Kage were likely fighting Akatsuki’s Rinnegan-wielding leader.
• Shisui headed for the forest battlefield while Itachi went to help in the village.
• Hyuga Kagami realized Obito had used a transplanted Sharingan for Izanagi and could use more eyes to survive, so sealing Obito was his only option.
• A crow revealed scarlet eyes and drew Hyuga Kagami into a genjutsu.

Obito continued slaughtering Konoha ninja with his Susanoo while Hyuga Kagami, badly wounded, admitted he had failed twice to kill him. After noticing Hyuga Kagami’s condition, Obito decided to attack again, and Hyuga Kagami prepared to meet him with a changed, dull-gray bone blade.

• Kurenai noticed Hyuga Kagami glance at a departing crow, then asked him what they should do about Obito.
• Hyuga Kagami told Kurenai that ordinary methods could not kill Obito, and that he had already tried twice.
• Hyuga Kagami vomited blood and urged Kurenai and her comrades to leave, but Kurenai refused to go.
• Obito’s Susanoo survived another barrage as Konoha ninja lost hope, while an older Konoha Jonin urged them to keep fighting.
• Obito recognized that Hyuga Kagami was genuinely injured and decided to risk attacking him, relying on his remaining Three Tomoe Sharingan to use Izanagi if needed.
• Hyuga Kagami caught the bone blade extending from his palm, and Kurenai noticed its dull-gray, weakened appearance.

Hyuga Kagami fought Obito while his battered body was failing, but he kept pressing the attack and tried to conceal a hidden plan. The chapter ended with Obito approaching him, convinced the battle was over, while Hyuga Kagami insisted he had not won.

• Hyuga Kagami shoved Kurenai aside and faced Obito, who attacked with two Kamui Shuriken.
• Hyuga Kagami charged Obito, but his injured leg faltered and he barely dodged the shuriken before counterattacking with Iron Sand wings and his bone blade.
• White Zetsu and Black Zetsu watched from a distance, and Black Zetsu realized Hyuga Kagami might be maintaining the underground bone forest to keep them away from something hidden.
• Hyuga Kagami sliced open Obito's Susanoo from below, then fell to the ground after Obito entered his intangible state.
• Hyuga Kagami's Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets passed harmlessly through Obito, who approached him and declared the fight over, but Hyuga Kagami insisted Obito had not won.

Obito overwhelmed Hyuga Kagami and Konoha’s Flying Thunder God squad, then used Kamui to begin warping Kagami away. A flaming sword pierced Obito from below, but Kamui linked their fates, drawing both into the Totsuka Blade’s illusion.

• Kakashi and Kurenai tried to protect the badly wounded Hyuga Kagami as Obito approached, and Kakashi’s special tactical squad attacked with Flying Thunder God kunai.
• Obito countered the squad, wounded Kakashi with Wood Release, and claimed that he was Uchiha Madara.

• A flaming sword burst from the ground and pierced Obito, while Kamui began drawing Hyuga Kagami into the same blade.
• Hyuga Kagami and Obito found themselves staring at each other inside the Totsuka Blade’s illusion.

Itachi used the Totsuka Blade to seal Obito after Hyuga Kagami baited him into an ambush, but Hyuga Kagami was accidentally pulled into the blade’s genjutsu space too. Black Zetsu realized Obito was sealed and decided to take the Totsuka Blade to try to rescue him.

• Itachi’s crimson Susanoo appeared and struck Obito with the Totsuka Blade, making the Konoha ninja believe Flame Demon had defeated their enemy.

• Black Zetsu explained that the Totsuka Blade sealed its victims and decided to seize it, noting that someone besides Obito had been caught.

Orochimaru realized the God Organization had taken the Totsuka Blade and entered the damaged shelter to abduct Sasuke. After incapacitating Anko, he was confronted by Izumi and Naruto, but an Akatsuki member suddenly appeared and focused on Naruto.

• Orochimaru watched the battlefield and realized Wind Chime had taken the Totsuka Blade from the Uchiha Ruins.

• Orochimaru and Kakuzu withdrew with their captives before Asuma and Guy arrived, and the reinforcements set off in pursuit.

Hyuga Kagami and Obito were trapped together inside the Totsuka Blade’s illusion realm, where neither Kamui nor Obito’s ocular power could free them. When Itachi opened a brief connection to the seal, Hyuga Kagami used his own ocular power to widen the escape crack and slipped through, leaving Obito behind.

• Hyuga Kagami and Obito realized they had both been sealed inside the Totsuka Blade’s illusion realm after their fight.
• Obito activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and Kamui, but neither could break the seal.
• An ethereal voice revealed that Itachi needed their cooperation and warned them not to fall into the illusion.
• Itachi activated the Totsuka Blade again, creating a flame and a narrow crack inside the realm.
• Obito exhausted his ocular power trying to widen the crack, but Hyuga Kagami added his own power and escaped through it.

Hyuga Kagami’s A-Type Wind Release Clone collapsed after escaping Itachi’s Totsuka Blade illusion, and Obito fled instead of attacking. Tsunade could not treat Wind Chime’s severe injuries, while Hyuga Kagami returned to his Yin Release original body and flew back toward Konoha.

• Hyuga Kagami lost control of his failing A-Type Wind Release Clone, but Obito escaped the illusion and fled in panic.

• Hyuga Kagami awoke in his Yin Release original body at a remote cave, entered Tenseigan Chakra Mode, and flew toward Konoha.

Hyuga Kagami arrived in Konoha and took the injured A-Type Wind Release Clone away, assuring Itachi he could save him. Shisui broke through Konan’s interception and discovered that Nagato had defeated the Five Kage and was using the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to absorb Karatachi Yagura and Killer B.

• Hyuga Kagami landed in Konoha, took the A-Type Wind Release Clone from Kurenai, and left with Itachi.

• Shisui endured Konan’s explosive attacks and forced his way to the main battlefield.
• Shisui found Karatachi Yagura, Killer B, and the Five Kage defeated while the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path absorbed the two Jinchuriki.
• Konan apologized to Nagato for failing to stop Shisui, and Nagato said absorbing two Jinchuriki was no burden to his transformed body.

Uchiha Shinichi led the Uchiha Police Force away from Konoha before Nagato’s Shinra Tensei destroyed the village, while hiding his role as Hyuga Kagami’s spy from a White Zetsu clone. Surrounded by Uchiha Fugaku, Shinichi gave him coordinates to Akatsuki’s new hideout in the Land of Iron.

• Shinichi led Fugaku and the Uchiha Police Force out of Konoha, allowing them to escape Nagato’s Shinra Tensei.
• Fugaku urged Shinichi to leave Akatsuki and return to the clan, while Shinichi concealed that he had turned against Obito and was being watched by White Zetsu.
• The Uchiha Police Force surrounded Shinichi in the forest, and Fugaku revealed that he possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Fugaku trapped Shinichi in a genjutsu, and Shinichi gave him coordinates to Akatsuki’s new hideout in the Land of Iron.

Shinichi escaped Fugaku’s Mangekyō genjutsu and returned to the Akatsuki rendezvous point, where Kakuzu had captured Sasuke and Neji. Meanwhile, Shisui faced Nagato on the battlefield until two figures arrived, leaving Nagato and Konan wary.

• Shinichi used his Mangekyō Sharingan’s Timehold to escape Fugaku’s genjutsu, and Fugaku abandoned the pursuit because he could not understand how Shinichi had escaped.
• Shinichi reflected that five Uchiha possessed Mangekyō Sharingan and that his Timehold could counter genjutsu and Obito’s Kamui, though his limited ocular power made a prolonged fight dangerous.
• Shinichi reached the Akatsuki rendezvous point, where Kakuzu had tied up Sasuke and Neji and planned to trade Sasuke to Orochimaru.
• Shisui searched for the Third Hokage while preparing to stop Nagato from killing Karatachi Yagura and Killer B.
• Two figures arrived on the battlefield, easing Shisui’s worry and making Nagato and Konan apprehensive.
