Chapter Summaries

Hyuga Kagami found Nagato transformed and apparently unharmed after defeating nearly a hundred shinobi from the Five Great Villages. As Obito and Zetsu joined Nagato and the surviving village leaders gathered beside Hyuga Kagami, the two sides faced off again on the ruined cliff.

• Konan warned Nagato to be careful as he faced Hyuga Kagami, whom both feared.
• Hyuga Kagami surveyed the battlefield and found the Fourth Raikage, Fourth Kazekage, Fourth Mizukage, and many other shinobi incapacitated.
• Hyuga Kagami observed that Nagato had recovered his legs, youthful appearance, and vitality, and suspected that Nagato had grown stronger than him.
• Obito emerged beside Nagato through a distorted vortex, and Zetsu rose from the ground.
• The Third Hokage, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Mei Terumi, Chiyo, Ōnoki, and Kitsuchi arrived, and the two sides faced each other across the cliff.

Hyuga Kagami faced Nagato after the God Organization and the Five Great Shinobi Villages converged on the battlefield, while secretly fearing that Nagato had surpassed him. The standoff remained tense as Obito warned Nagato against fighting, and Konan questioned his mention of Flame Demon.

• The Third Hokage and Ōnoki arrived with reinforcements, revealing that the Third Hokage had survived the village-wide Shinra Tensei and that Ōnoki had helped a small group escape Nagato.
• The shinobi on both sides turned their attention to Hyuga Kagami, who realized Nagato's ocular power now exceeded his own and that he could not afford to reveal his weakness.
• Hyuga Kagami provoked Nagato to test his condition and to prevent him from extracting the Three-Tails and Eight-Tails from Karatachi Yagura and Killer B.
• Nagato challenged Hyuga Kagami, but Obito stopped him and warned that the God Organization's Wind Chime, Flame Demon, and River Lord could be nearby.
• Konan asked why Obito had mentioned Flame Demon when Flame Demon was standing across from them.

Nagato challenged Hyuga Kagami after his power increased through fusing with the First Hokage Cells, while Obito and Zetsu warned that the God Organization posed a serious threat. Hyuga Kagami could not retreat without exposing his bluff, but as Nagato advanced, the clouds parted and moonlight fell over the cliff, prompting Kagami to smile.

• Obito explained that the God Organization had two different people called the “Flame Demon,” while Zetsu and Konan urged Nagato to retreat.
• Nagato’s First Hokage Cells had strengthened his Sage Body and helped him master a new Rinnegan technique.
• Hyuga Kagami realized Nagato’s ocular power now surpassed his own and worried that he could neither fight nor flee without consequences.
• Nagato challenged Hyuga Kagami, claimed his ocular power was greater, and stepped beyond the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path’s protection.
• The clouds dispersed, moonlight illuminated the ruined cliff, and Hyuga Kagami smiled beneath his mask.

Hyuga Kagami secretly began resonating with the Giant Tenseigan on the moon while Nagato challenged him, then used a Rinnegan technique to pull the wounded shinobi to safety. Nagato unleashed Shinra Tensei at Hyuga Kagami as the battle resumed.

• Hyuga Kagami decided to seek power from the Giant Tenseigan, though doing so could alert the Ōtsutsuki descendants on the moon.
• Nagato taunted Hyuga Kagami's hesitation, while Shisui and Itachi resolved to help him even at the cost of their lives.

• Hyuga Kagami used Banshō Ten'in to pull the wounded shinobi of the Five Great Shinobi Villages away from the broken cliff.
• Nagato aimed his hand at Hyuga Kagami and used Shinra Tensei.

Nagato and Hyuga Kagami unleashed immense repulsive forces that clashed with enough power to split the cliff and open a chasm. The battle remained locked in a stalemate as both sides reevaluated the danger, while the Giant Tenseigan’s temple on the moon was left empty.

• Nagato unleashed an enhanced Shinra Tensei at Hyuga Kagami’s side, terrifying the gathered shinobi.
• Hyuga Kagami connected with the Giant Tenseigan on the moon and countered Nagato with an equally powerful Rotation.
• The opposing forces tore apart the cliff and opened a deep chasm between the two sides.
• Black Zetsu, Obito, and Konan were stunned by Hyuga Kagami’s power, while Obito kept watch on the Flame Demon and Konan worried about retreat.
• A cleaning puppet entered the Giant Tenseigan’s temple, found it blazing and the cushion empty, then sped toward the main hall.

On the moon, Toneri left his dying elder to investigate an abnormality in the Giant Tenseigan. As Hyuga Kagami’s clash with Nagato destroyed the cliff, Hyuga Kagami used his borrowed power to attack Nagato and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path while trying to rescue two Jinchuriki.

• A palace puppet told Toneri that an abnormality had appeared, and Toneri’s dying elder ordered him to investigate the Giant Tenseigan and destroy the ninja world.
• Hyuga Kagami and Nagato’s repulsive forces widened the ravine and destabilized the cliff, forcing both sides to evacuate their injured and retreat from the edges.
• Hyuga Kagami told Shisui and Itachi to look for a chance to save Karatachi Yagura and Killer B as the cliff collapsed.
• Hyuga Kagami and Nagato rose into the air, and Hyuga Kagami summoned nine Truth-Seeking Orbs while Nagato recognized their danger.
• Hyuga Kagami gathered all nine orbs in his palm and unleashed Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion toward Nagato and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Hyuga Kagami’s nine Truth-Seeking Orbs powered a devastating Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion that overwhelmed Nagato and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, interrupting the extraction of the Tailed Beasts. Nagato then trapped Hyuga Kagami in Planetary Devastation, but a gigantic golden light pierced the sphere, leaving the gathered shinobi staring in disbelief.

• Hyuga Kagami unleashed a full-powered Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, swept Nagato into its tornado, and sent the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path tumbling, forcing it to stop extracting the Tailed Beasts.
• Obito and Zetsu rushed toward the unconscious Karatachi Yagura and Killer B as Shisui and Itachi moved to intercept them.
• Nagato emerged from the rubble and used Planetary Devastation to pull Hyuga Kagami into a vast sphere of rock.
• Jiraiya, Tsunade, the Third Hokage, and Ōnoki watched anxiously as the sphere formed and feared the God Organization’s leader might lose.
• A dazzling golden light pierced the sphere, and Jiraiya wondered if it was a sword while Tsunade questioned how a sword could be over a thousand meters long.

Hyuga Kagami escaped Nagato’s Planetary Devastation by using the Giant Tenseigan’s power to unleash the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, splitting the massive sphere in two. He then charged at Nagato while his temporary power remained, ending the chapter as he swung his golden blade at him.

• Hyuga Kagami broke free of Nagato’s Planetary Devastation with the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, stunning the shinobi watching below.
• Hyuga Kagami’s golden blade cleaved the giant sphere in half, and its two halves crashed toward the ground.
• Obito and Zetsu fled, while Shisui used his Susanoo and Yata Mirror to shield Itachi, Karatachi Yagura, and Killer B.
• Hyuga Kagami realized Nagato remained a grave threat and rushed to attack him before his connection to the Giant Tenseigan could be severed.
• Hyuga Kagami caught Nagato off guard and brought the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion down toward him.

Hyuga Kagami’s Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion destroyed one of Nagato’s Limbo Clones, but Nagato escaped by switching places with it. Nagato sent two more Limbo Clones to attack, only to discover that Hyuga Kagami’s Tenseigan could perceive them.

• Hyuga Kagami struck Nagato with the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, carving a ravine into the ground.
• Nagato revealed that he had escaped by switching places with a Limbo Clone, which the strike destroyed.
• Nagato explained that Limbo: Border Jail let him create four powerful clones in an overlapping alternate space and swap places with them.
• Hyuga Kagami detected two Limbo Clones and fought them, struggling against their speed and strength.
• Nagato realized Hyuga Kagami could perceive his Limbo Clones and wondered whether Yama was his natural enemy.

Hyuga Kagami fought Nagato’s two Limbo Clones and discovered that they could withstand attacks from his Truth-Seeking Orbs. On the moon, Otsutsuki Toneri saw the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path on the battlefield and secretly sent a huge meteor toward it.

• Hyuga Kagami used the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion to buy time, then analyzed the strange black shadows attacking him.
• Hyuga Kagami shielded himself inside a sphere of Truth-Seeking Orbs, but Nagato’s Limbo Clones struck it with enough force to make it tremble.
• Nagato wondered why the black substance around Yama could block his Limbo Clones, while Hyuga Kagami concluded that their physical power was extraordinary and suspected Uchiha Madara’s technique.
• Otsutsuki Toneri connected his consciousness to the Giant Tenseigan and surveyed the battlefield in the shinobi world.
• Otsutsuki Toneri recognized the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, then secretly used the Giant Tenseigan to draw a colossal meteor toward the battlefield without severing the resonance.

Hyuga Kagami used Truth-Seeking Orbs to pin down Nagato’s Limbo Clones and attack his real body, but Akatsuki’s trap of thirty million Explosive Tags failed to harm him. As the smoke cleared, everyone noticed a meteor descending toward the battlefield.

• Obito used Kamui to tear apart Hyuga Kagami’s black-sphere defense, so Hyuga Kagami switched to offense and pulled Obito toward him with Rotation.
• Hyuga Kagami pinned two of Nagato’s Limbo Clones with Truth-Seeking Orb spears, then pierced a third clone while attacking Nagato.
• Konan’s thirty million Explosive Tags erupted beneath Hyuga Kagami, but he emerged unharmed inside a black sphere.
• Nagato, Obito, Konan, and Zetsu watched as Hyuga Kagami looked up and a meteor blazed down toward the battlefield.

Hyuga Kagami sensed that an Ōtsutsuki Clan descendant had used the Giant Tenseigan to send a real meteor toward the battlefield. Knowing Nagato could become far harder to defeat if he survived, Hyuga Kagami charged the Akatsuki members even as the meteor fell, while the others fled.

• Hyuga Kagami recognized the meteor as a genuine cosmic object and realized it had been aimed at the battlefield through the Giant Tenseigan.
• Hyuga Kagami concluded that the Giant Tenseigan's current controller had detected the battlefield and would sever their connection after the meteor struck.
• Hyuga Kagami decided to exploit Nagato's depleted chakra and lost Limbo Clones, then charged the Akatsuki members with his remaining Truth-Seeking Orbs.
• The Third Hokage ordered the Five Great Shinobi Villages' shinobi to retreat, while Jiraiya used Gamaken to evacuate injured shinobi.
• Shisui and Itachi grabbed unconscious Jinchuriki and fled the battlefield to avoid hindering Hyuga Kagami.

Hyuga Kagami used the threat of a falling meteor to trap Nagato and Konan beneath the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Nagato’s Shinra Tensei weakened the meteor before it struck, but the impact devastated the battlefield and left the shinobi of the Five Great Shinobi Villages caught in the shockwave.

• Hyuga Kagami charged Akatsuki as the meteor approached and used Rotation to drag Nagato and Konan back toward him.
• Nagato realized Hyuga Kagami had summoned the meteor and understood that he was being held in place to face its impact.
• Nagato summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and unleashed Shinra Tensei, spending nearly all his strength to slow the meteor.
• The meteor crushed Nagato’s Shinra Tensei and struck the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, triggering a massive explosion and spreading fissures across the battlefield.
• The shockwave swept through the fleeing shinobi of the Five Great Shinobi Villages and knocked Ōnoki out of the air into the ruins.

Otsutsuki Toneri used the Giant Tenseigan to send a meteor crashing down on the battlefield, then discovered that the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and someone powerful had survived. Hyuga Kagami barely endured the impact with Nagato’s help, but his remaining Truth-Seeking Orbs began to crumble.

• Otsutsuki Toneri collapsed after using the Giant Tenseigan to guide a meteor toward the battlefield.
• Otsutsuki Toneri sensed a chaotic chakra cloud and assumed the meteor had killed everyone, but the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path emerged from the smoke.
• Otsutsuki Toneri sensed someone trying to perceive him, withdrew his consciousness, and activated the moon’s defensive barrier.
• Otsutsuki Toneri recalled the elders’ warnings and realized the descendants could not unleash the Giant Tenseigan’s full power without possessing a Tenseigan themselves.
• Hyuga Kagami confirmed that the moon’s Ōtsutsuki had severed their connection to the Giant Tenseigan before impact, leaving him reliant on his remaining chakra.
• Hyuga Kagami saw Nagato bloodied and emaciated as the black shell around his two remaining Truth-Seeking Orbs continued to crack apart.

Hyuga Kagami ran out of chakra after fighting Nagato and could no longer finish him off. Nagato withdrew with Konan while Obito and Zetsu covered their escape, then fled when Hyuga Kagami tried to speak.

• Hyuga Kagami realized his chakra was nearly depleted and struggled to maintain Tenseigan Chakra Mode after his battle with Nagato.
• Nagato coughed up blood but insisted he had not lost, and his three Limbo Clones reappeared beside him.
• Hyuga Kagami prepared to absorb Ryumyaku chakra as Obito and Zetsu emerged and urged Nagato to retreat.
• Konan reminded Nagato of Yahiko's last wish, then helped him escape while Obito and Zetsu stayed behind to cover them.
• Hyuga Kagami stepped forward to address Obito and Zetsu, who immediately fled, leaving him alone on the battlefield.

Hyuga Kagami considered how Yama’s fearsome reputation could deter Nagato and buy time for his Kekkei Mōra Project, while realizing the Ōtsutsuki on the moon had become more hostile. At dawn, he left the devastated battlefield as the surviving shinobi regrouped and Shisui stayed behind with the unconscious Karatachi Yagura and Killer B.

• Hyuga Kagami concluded that Nagato’s overwhelming strength made Yama’s deterrent essential to slowing Akatsuki’s plans to gather the Tailed Beasts.
• Hyuga Kagami sensed that the Giant Tenseigan’s surveillance had vanished after the meteorite attack and suspected a more radical Ōtsutsuki descendant controlled it.
• At dawn, Hyuga Kagami searched the ruined battlefield with the Tenseigan, found nothing, and disappeared.
• Shisui and Itachi emerged from the rubble after Shisui’s Susanoo and Yata Mirror shielded them from the meteorite’s shockwave.
• Shisui stayed with the unconscious Karatachi Yagura and Killer B while Itachi returned to the village to check on his clan.
• The surviving shinobi of the Five Great Shinobi Villages climbed from the ruins, and the Third Hokage surveyed the devastation.

Hyuga Kagami returned to the devastated but prepared Konoha, checked on Hyuga Rin, and reclaimed the Tenseigan ocular power he had sealed in her eye. He learned that Orochimaru and Kakuzu had abducted four young shinobi, leaving him to wonder why they had been taken.

• Hyuga Kagami returned to Konoha and saw that most of the village had been destroyed, though its emergency shelters had limited casualties.
• Hyuga Kagami found the exhausted Hyuga Rin treating the wounded in a temporary hospital and reassured her that he knew about the power that had awakened in her left eye.
• Hyuga Kagami told Rin to keep the secret technique confidential, then reclaimed the Tenseigan ocular power sealed in her eye.
• Rin told Hyuga Kagami that Orochimaru had taken Hinata and Naruto, while Kakuzu had taken Neji and Sasuke.
• Hyuga Kagami wondered whether Orochimaru and Kakuzu had abducted the wrong targets.

Hyuga Kagami and Team 7 attended Konoha’s funeral three days after Akatsuki’s devastating attack, as the village began rebuilding and the Five Great Shinobi Villages united against Akatsuki. The casualty count was nearly two thousand dead or missing, and Mitokado Homura was among the fallen.

• Konoha began large-scale reconstruction, while the other four Kage returned home after agreeing that Akatsuki threatened every village by targeting the Tailed Beasts.
• Hyuga Kagami’s exhausted Anbu Team 7 continued patrol duty until he told them they could rest after the funeral.
• Konoha began the funeral after recording more than a thousand civilian deaths or disappearances and nearly a thousand shinobi casualties.
• Hyuga Kagami led Team 7 to the cemetery, where thousands of shinobi gathered before the Memorial Stone as the Third Hokage stood in mourning.
• The chapter explained that Mitokado Homura died when Nagato’s Limbo Clones targeted him during the battle, while Ōnoki survived by keeping his distance.

After the funeral, Hyuga Kagami refused Shisui and Itachi’s request to attack Akatsuki’s hideout, judging that they should wait for Akatsuki and Orochimaru to trade captives. He left them hoping to rescue Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, and Neji together when the exchange took place.

• Hyuga Kagami considered Danzo’s political ambitions and the abductions of Hinata, Neji, and Sasuke amid the village’s devastation.
• After Hyuga Kagami’s Team 7 disbanded, Shisui and Itachi asked him when they would attack Akatsuki’s new hideout.
• Hyuga Kagami said it was too soon to act because Nagato could defeat him with Planetary Devastation.
• Hyuga Kagami explained that Akatsuki wanted Naruto while Orochimaru wanted Sasuke, so the captors would likely arrange an exchange.
• Shisui and Itachi agreed that they could ambush the exchange and rescue all four children, while Hyuga Kagami reassured Itachi about Sasuke.

Hyuga Kagami returned to the Aerial Fortress, reinforced the seal restraining Shukaku inside Gaara to keep Akatsuki from detecting or capturing him, and examined the badly damaged A-Type Wind Release Clone. He decided to transfuse it with blood from the B-type clone to keep it functioning until the final stage of the Kekkei Mōra Project.

• Hyuga Kagami left a Shadow Clone in the village and secretly returned to the Aerial Fortress.
• Hyuga Kagami strengthened Gaara’s Four Symbols Seal, cutting off his connection to Shukaku and warning him not to use the One-Tail’s power.
• Hyuga Kagami explained that he had sealed Shukaku to prevent Akatsuki from taking it and advancing its plan to revive the Ten-Tails.
• Hyuga Kagami examined the A-Type Wind Release Clone and found its circulatory system, bones, and muscles severely damaged by the All-Killing Ash Bones.
• Hyuga Kagami chose to transfuse the A-Type clone with blood from the B-type clone so it could survive until the Kekkei Mōra Project’s final stage.
