Chapter Summaries

Madara Uchiha battled Shisui, Shinichi, Sasuke, and Itachi, shrugging off Sasuke’s Amaterasu and overpowering their Susanoo in a destructive fight. After restoring his own Susanoo, Madara assessed the four opponents and remained most wary of Itachi and his Totsuka Blade.

• Madara Uchiha reflected Shisui’s Susanoo strike and damaged Shinichi’s Susanoo, while Shinichi used Heaven Guard to survive.
• Madara transformed his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan into Rinnegan and extinguished the Amaterasu flames covering his Susanoo.
• Sasuke, Shisui, and Shinichi attacked Madara as Itachi watched for a chance to strike, and their Susanoo battle devastated the land between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire.
• Madara’s Susanoo fell badly damaged, but he restored it with his ocular power while the others’ Susanoo were also battered.
• Madara judged Sasuke’s Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi less threatening, dismissed Shisui and Shinichi’s abilities, and stayed wary of Itachi’s Totsuka Blade and unreadable technique.

After Madara’s attack devastated the Allied Shinobi Forces, the surviving Kage agreed to return to Konoha and demanded answers from the Third Hokage about the God Organization. Meanwhile, Darui’s squad evacuated a secret base after a trap was triggered, but a distorted vortex appeared above their Clay Bird.

• The surviving Kage watched the Susanoo fight move out of sight, and the Fourth Kazekage collapsed in relief while the Fourth Raikage and Third Tsuchikage assessed the Allied forces’ defeat.
• The Third Hokage proposed returning to Konoha, where the Fourth Kazekage and Third Tsuchikage questioned him about the God Organization, its Flame Demons, and Hyuga Kagami.
• At a secret base in the Land of Fire, Fū asked Darui whether the Akatsuki still targeted her, and Darui warned that the Tailed Beasts might remain in danger.
• An explosion triggered one of Deidara’s traps, and Hyuga Tokuma reported that someone had approached underground before Darui ordered an immediate evacuation.
• Deidara carried Darui, Fū, and Hyuga Tokuma away on his Clay Bird without knowing their destination, and a distorted vortex appeared above them.

Obito used his ability to sense tailed beasts to ambush Fū and steal the Seven-Tails, stabilizing his Ten-Tails Jinchuriki state. He then discovered that Naruto and the One-Tail had vanished from his perception.

• A purple chain erupted from a vortex and pulled Fū from Deidara's Clay Bird, but Deidara cut the chain with Dust Release and rescued her.
• The vortex reappeared, and Obito used a powerful suction technique to draw in the Clay Bird's occupants before piercing Deidara with a Black Rod and capturing Fū.
• Inside the Kamui Dimension, Obito extracted the Seven-Tails from Fū and absorbed it into his body.
• Obito sensed that the Nine-Tails chakra he had taken and the Seven-Tails had stabilized his Ten-Tails Jinchuriki state, leaving only the One-Tail and Nine-Tails to find.
• Obito discovered that Naruto and the One-Tail had disappeared from his perception.

Obito learned that the God Organization had likely taken the One-Tail and Nine-Tails, but he felt confident that the Ten-Tails was nearing completion and prepared to confront Yama. Hyuga Kagami discovered that Akatsuki had captured Fū and reflected on why he had kept the Tailed Beasts in plain sight while buying time for his ritual.

• Obito and Zetsu concluded that the God Organization had removed the One-Tail and Nine-Tails from the battlefield and that Konoha had allied with the organization.
• Obito said the stabilized Ten-Tails was growing stronger and declared that he would have to face the God Organization directly.
• Obito lamented that Hyuga Kagami had died before Obito could reveal his identity and challenge him.
• Hyuga Kagami found the unconscious Hyuga Tokuma, learned that Akatsuki had taken Fū, and told him to wake Deidara and Darui.
• Hyuga Kagami left to pursue matters and considered how Obito's Kamui had prevented him from moving the Three-Tails and Seven-Tails in time.

Hyuga Kagami brought Naruto and Neji to the Snow Country, where he prepared a ritual site designed to gather immense natural energy. After learning that natural energy there surpassed that of famous sage locations, he inspected the setup and confirmed its potential, though the ritual depended on his mastering Senjutsu.

• Hyuga Kagami explained why Gaara and Naruto were his highest-priority Jinchuriki to protect while keeping Akatsuki and the Five Great Shinobi Villages from suspecting his plans.
• Hyuga Kagami returned to the Rainbow Ice Wall in the Snow Country and met Naruto and Neji, whom his Shadow Clone had brought from the Konoha battlefield.
• Naruto asked to return to the battlefield, but Hyuga Kagami told him and Neji to recover and have Naruto use Shadow Clones to absorb natural energy.
• Naruto and Neji observed that the Snow Country's natural energy was denser than that of Ryūchi Cave and Mount Myoboku, respectively.
• Hyuga Kagami inspected the geothermal device, Heavenly Spear, Gelel Ore Vein, and Rainbow Ice Wall, confirming that they aligned to power his ritual.
• Hyuga Kagami realized the ritual could draw energy from the earth, air, and sunlight, but only if he first mastered Senjutsu.

Hyuga Kagami prepared to make up for the loss of the Three-Tails and Seven-Tails by mastering Senjutsu, then began a resurrection ritual aboard the Aerial Fortress. Karin used the Rinne Tensei Technique to revive him, while Naruto and the others sensed her overwhelming chakra.

• Hyuga Kagami considered using natural energy gathered by the Rainbow Ice Wall to replace the chakra sources lost when Akatsuki took the Three-Tails and Seven-Tails.
• Karin, Shion, Gaara, and Haku arrived at the Aerial Fortress, where Hyuga Kagami told his disciples and subordinates to cooperate with his ritual.
• Hyuga Kagami sent Shion, Gaara, and Haku away to prepare, then showed Neji his repaired corpse and released his Edo Tensei Body.
• Karin, aware that the Rinne Tensei Technique could kill her, formed hand seals and began casting it without hesitation.
• Naruto, Shion, Gaara, and Haku felt Karin's immense chakra, and the Nine-Tails told Naruto that Hyuga Kagami was about to be revived.

Karin used the Rinne Tensei Technique to summon Hyuga Kagami’s soul and revive his repaired body. Though the technique nearly killed her, Karin mastered the Rinnegan and began recovering, leaving Hyuga Kagami alive and Karin on the verge of surviving.

• The Nine-Tails explained to Naruto that death was not the end for someone as powerful as Hyuga Kagami.
• Karin used her Rinnegan to summon Hyuga Kagami’s soul back from the underworld, and he sat up with a renewed heartbeat.
• Hyuga Kagami examined Karin, found her life force nearly depleted, and urged her not to disappoint him.
• Karin’s will, biological armor, and the Gelel Ore Vein helped sustain her as Hyuga Kagami told her to take control of the damaged Rinnegan.
• Karin opened her eyes with renewed Rinnegan power, fully mastered the eyes, and began recovering her life force.

Hyuga Kagami was revived, and Karin survived using Rinne Tensei while Neji returned his Tenseigan. With his eyes restored, Hyuga Kagami regained his peak condition and the group prepared the chakra formation for the upcoming ritual.

• Karin survived using Rinne Tensei, and Hyuga Kagami calmed Neji's restless Tenseigan.
• Hyuga Kagami praised Neji for enduring the eyes' power and promised he might one day gain a Tenseigan of his own.
• Hyuga Kagami removed Neji's Tenseigan, restored Neji's Byakugan, and recovered his own eyes.
• Hyuga Kagami returned to peak condition and sent Karin and Neji to the chakra transmission area.
• Karin and Shion argued over who mattered more to Hyuga Kagami as Gaara, Naruto, and Neji took positions in the formation to prepare for the ritual.

Shion, Gaara, Neji, and Naruto prepared to absorb natural energy, while Karin sensed a new space-time ocular technique awakening in her Rinnegan. Aboard the Aerial Fortress, Hyuga Kagami used the shrine maiden’s secret medicine and his Tenseigan to sense natural energy, successfully formed senjutsu Tenseigan chakra, and began absorbing more.

• Shion created two Shadow Clones to help her absorb natural energy, while Gaara and Neji settled onto their Sealing Jutsu formulas to recover.
• Naruto arrived with more than a dozen Shadow Clones on Sensei’s instructions, and he and his clones joined the formation to absorb natural energy.
• Haku watched over the group as Karin ate and sensed her Rinnegan, discovering that she seemed to have awakened a space-time ocular technique.
• Hyuga Kagami placed his six repaired clones around the altar and swallowed the shrine maiden’s secret medicine to prepare for mastering Senjutsu.
• Hyuga Kagami used his Tenseigan to see and precisely absorb natural energy, fused it with his chakra to form senjutsu Tenseigan chakra, and began absorbing more.

Hyuga Kagami absorbed the vast natural energy around the Aerial Fortress and entered Sage Mode. His black facial markings were absorbed into his glowing Yin Seal, leaving him to wonder how the mark had changed his transformation.

• Hyuga Kagami drew in natural energy above the Aerial Fortress, astonishing Shion, Naruto, Haku, Karin, Gaara, and Neji with its intensity.
• The Nine-Tails told Naruto that Hyuga Kagami’s chakra reserves and the dense natural energy near the Rainbow Ice Wall explained his rapid absorption.
• Hyuga Kagami fused the natural energy into Senjutsu chakra and activated Sage Mode.
• Black markings appeared on Hyuga Kagami’s face, then vanished into his Yin Seal as the mark turned vivid purple.
• Hyuga Kagami confirmed that his abilities had improved and focused on the faintly glowing Yin Seal as the only visible change.

Hyuga Kagami discovered that his Yin Seal had altered his Sage Mode, allowing it to store Senjutsu chakra and extend his transformation. After preparing the altar and assessing the threat posed by Otsutsuki Toneri, he began deciding how to protect the ritual.

• Hyuga Kagami found that his glowing Yin Seal absorbed his Sage Mode markings and could store Senjutsu chakra to activate and prolong Sage Mode.
• Hyuga Kagami filled the Yin Seal with Senjutsu chakra, then recovered his strength using the Gelel Ore Vein beneath the altar.
• Hyuga Kagami inspected the altar, clones, Demon Bud, and ritual equipment before recognizing that the ritual could reveal his location to Otsutsuki Toneri.
• Hyuga Kagami considered whether his weakened allies could stall Toneri while he performed the ritual, then began making his decision.

With time running out before Obito could expose his ritual or launch the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Hyuga Kagami abandoned plans to lure out Otsutsuki Toneri and began his second Bloodline Fusion Ritual. The Demon Bud absorbed his six clones and started fusing them into his Yin Release original body.

• Hyuga Kagami judged that he could not afford to delay his ritual to set a trap for Otsutsuki Toneri, since Obito’s growing power threatened to expose it.
• Hyuga Kagami restored his chakra at the altar, then sent the Third Kazekage Human Puppet to signal that the ritual was beginning.
• Karin and Haku watched nervously outside the ritual array while Shion, Gaara, Neji, and Naruto waited inside with confidence in Hyuga Kagami.
• Hyuga Kagami implanted the Demon Bud, used the Chimera Technique, and had it pull his six clones from their storage chambers.
• Hyuga Kagami accelerated the fusion, drawing the Demon Bud and the six clones into his Yin Release original body.

Hyuga Kagami completed the ritual’s first two stages and entered the third, beginning the fusion of all seven chakra natures. As a beam of light erupted from the altar, Otsutsuki Toneri sensed it from the moon and used the Giant Tenseigan to look toward the Ninja World.

• Hyuga Kagami merged six attribute clones into his Yin Release true body and found their Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tōta had fused more completely than before.
• Hyuga Kagami completed the unification of Yin and Yang by drawing chakra from Gaara, Neji, and Naruto, gaining the ability to create Black Rods.
• Hyuga Kagami suppressed and expelled the increasingly dangerous Demon Bud with the Tenseigan, Ice Release, and Rotation.
• Hyuga Kagami began the ritual’s third stage and drew chakra from Gaara, Neji, and Naruto while fusing Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements.
• A beam of light shot from the altar, and Otsutsuki Toneri activated his Tenseigan and peered into the Ninja World through the Giant Tenseigan.

Otsutsuki Toneri used the Giant Tenseigan to search the Ninja World and discovered Hyuga Kagami with a pair of Tenseigan at the Rainbow Ice Wall. As Hyuga Kagami continued his chakra-fusion ritual, he exhausted the chakra of those in the formation and manifested Truth-Seeking Orbs.

• Otsutsuki Toneri saw two immense battles in the Land of Fire, then searched the Ninja World for the chakra fluctuation that had resonated with his Tenseigan.
• Otsutsuki Toneri found Hyuga Kagami at the Rainbow Ice Wall with a pair of Tenseigan and reacted with shock and anger.
• Hyuga Kagami continued fusing yin, yang, and the five elemental chakra natures while increasing the chakra he extracted from Gaara, Neji, Naruto, and Shion.
• Hyuga Kagami drained every Shadow Clone in the formation, leaving Gaara and Neji near exhaustion and Shion and Naruto severely depleted.
• Hyuga Kagami clapped his hands together, and ink-black Truth-Seeking Orbs appeared behind him.

Hyuga Kagami completed the third stage of his ritual and returned to the Six Paths level, discovering that his body and spirit could be reconstructed with chakra and that his lifespan had greatly increased. He began the ritual’s final stage by unleashing the full power of the Heavenly Spear, Gelel Ore Vein, and Rainbow Ice Wall, as a Tenseigan-wrapped figure raced toward the site.

• Hyuga Kagami examined his transformed body and realized Six Paths chakra had backed up its physical and spiritual data, allowing him to restore damaged organs with enough chakra.
• Hyuga Kagami considered the durability and extended lifespan of Six Paths-level beings, then completed the ritual’s third stage.
• Hyuga Kagami began the final stage, removed the seals on the Heavenly Spear and Gelel Ore Vein, and powered the geothermal apparatus and Rainbow Ice Wall system to full capacity.
• The Heavenly Spear absorbed energy from the earth veins and sent a chakra pillar into the Gelel Ore Vein, where Yin and Yang chakra began to merge as Hyuga Kagami absorbed the energy.
• The onlookers in the Chakra Transmission Area watched in awe as a figure wrapped in pale-blue Tenseigan chakra descended and shot toward the Rainbow Ice Wall.

Otsutsuki Toneri attacked Hyuga Kagami during the fourth stage of his ritual to reach Kekkei Mōra, but Haku intercepted him before he could reach the altar. Toneri survived Haku’s attacks and prepared to strike back with a golden sword.

• Otsutsuki Toneri watched Hyuga Kagami’s ritual and attacked after realizing Hyuga Kagami’s power was still rising.
• Hyuga Kagami continued the final chakra fusion without turning his attention from the ritual.

• Haku’s Sage Art: Super Ice Shigure was repelled, but his ice dragons struck Toneri when Toneri failed to absorb them.
• Toneri emerged unharmed and formed a golden sword from Truth-Seeking Orbs to attack Haku.

Haku, Shion, and Naruto tried to stop Otsutsuki Toneri from reaching the ritual, but Toneri broke free of Shion’s sealing technique and shattered the barrier around Hyuga Kagami. Hyuga Kagami remained impassive as Toneri’s attack threatened the ritual.

• Haku used Sage Art: Super Ice Rock Hall Nothing and Sage Art: Super Ice Coffin against Otsutsuki Toneri, but Toneri swept both attacks away with his golden sword.
• Shion blocked Toneri’s storm with a barrier, while Naruto’s Shadow Clones struck Toneri’s Truth-Seeking Orb shield with Rasengans without damaging it.
• Shion trapped Toneri in the Demon-Sealing Coffin, and Haku and Naruto joined her as Neji and Gaara watched from the ritual array.
• Toneri used his golden sword to break out of the coffin and shatter the barrier around the ritual, while Hyuga Kagami remained impassive on the altar.

Otsutsuki Toneri shattered Shion’s Demon-Sealing Coffin and prepared to destroy the Rainbow Ice Wall and Hyuga Kagami’s ritual with an enormous Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion. Karin used a space-time ninjutsu to take herself, Toneri, and Shion to a mysterious dimension with a Blood-Colored River, leaving Naruto and Haku behind.

• Otsutsuki Toneri destroyed Shion’s Demon-Sealing Coffin, breached the barrier, and unleashed freezing winds into the magic array.
• Otsutsuki Toneri merged his six Truth-Seeking Orbs into his golden blade and extended it into a colossal weapon aimed at Hyuga Kagami’s ritual.

• Kurama told Naruto that the vanished figures had been taken by a space-time ninjutsu.
• Karin, Shion, and Otsutsuki Toneri arrived in a desolate dimension beside a Blood-Colored River, and Toneri asked where they were.

Karin and Shion trapped Otsutsuki Toneri in the Sanzu River after Karin used her new space-time ocular technique, while Obito sensed the Nine-Tails and set out to locate it. At the Rainbow Ice Wall, Hyuga Kagami sent Naruto back to the battlefield and continued the dangerous fourth stage of his ritual.

• Karin revealed that she and Shion were in the Sanzu River, where her ocular technique had transported Otsutsuki Toneri.
• Otsutsuki Toneri found his connection to the Giant Tenseigan too weak to escape, while Karin admitted she was unsure how to return to the Ninja World.

• Obito sensed the Nine-Tails in the polar regions and left the Kamui space to pinpoint its location.
• Hyuga Kagami dismissed the Summoning Technique to send Naruto back to the battlefield, then resumed merging the seven chakra natures in his ritual.
