Chapter Summaries

After defeating Otsutsuki Urashiki, Hyuga Kagami resumed his wedding and later discovered that Urashiki’s artifacts might help Hyuga Rin awaken the Tenseigan. The next morning, he briefed Konoha’s leaders and warned them that at least four Otsutsuki were hiding in the Ninja World.

• Hyuga Kagami returned to the wedding with Otsutsuki Urashiki’s artifacts and ordered the ceremony to continue.
• After the wedding, Hyuga Kagami had Plow scan Urashiki’s fishing rod and Fish Basket, which it identified as chakra artifacts that might be refined into pills to help Hyuga Rin awaken the Tenseigan.

• Hyuga Kagami told Konoha’s leaders that Urashiki had been no match for him and warned that other Otsutsuki posed a greater threat.
• Hyuga Kagami said he suspected that at least four Otsutsuki were hiding in the Ninja World.

Hyuga Kagami identified the Ōtsutsuki threat and approved transferring Madara Uchiha’s Rinnegan to Iwagakure, using the handover to create an opening. The transfer ended in an Akatsuki ambush, and Obito brought the Rinnegan to Hyuga Kagami, who told him to transplant them into himself.

• Hyuga Kagami told Konoha’s leaders that at least four Ōtsutsuki could threaten the Ninja World and admitted the outcome of fighting them was uncertain.

• The Third Tsuchikage escorted the Rinnegan back to Iwagakure with Deidara, but explosions struck the ground team and Akatsuki members attacked.
• Obito returned to the Kamui Dimension with the Rinnegan storage container and Hyuga Kagami ordered him to transplant the Rinnegan back into himself.

Hyuga Kagami explained to Obito that he intended to preserve controlled competition among the shinobi villages to keep the Ninja World vigilant and advancing against the Ōtsutsuki. He revealed that Otsutsuki Urashiki had nearly erased him from history, leaving Obito to reconsider whether constant vigilance was necessary.

Hyuga Kagami told Obito that Ōtsutsuki Clan members were hiding in the Ninja World and recruited him to lure them out. Meanwhile, the Five Kage gathered after Akatsuki stole the Rinnegan, unaware that Hyuga Kagami had orchestrated the attack.

• Kakashi, Jiraiya, and Tsunade kept quiet about Obito working for Hyuga Kagami while the other Kage remained unaware of the plan.

After the Five Kage agreed to purge the Akatsuki, Hyuga Kagami used the renewed threat to set a plan in motion against the Ōtsutsuki Clan. He brought Gaara and the One-Tail to Obito’s Kamui Dimension to restore the Ten-Tails to its peak, while his Giant Tenseigan neared completion.

• The Five Kage approved a full-scale purge of the Akatsuki, then asked Hyuga Kagami to eliminate them because the Allied Shinobi Forces had suffered heavy losses.
• Hyuga Kagami told Kakashi to spread news of the Akatsuki’s return and stage convincing hunts without actually capturing any members, confirming that he was targeting the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
• Hyuga Kagami inspected the Giant Tenseigan in the Aerial Fortress and estimated that its fusion would finish within a week, bringing it to the Six Paths-level.
• Hyuga Kagami summoned Gaara and took him to Obito’s Kamui Dimension, where Obito recognized him as the One-Tail’s Jinchuriki.
• Hyuga Kagami explained that he needed the One-Tail to restore the Ten-Tails to its peak, then prepared to supply it with the missing beast.

Hyuga Kagami released the Ten-Tails, had Gaara’s One-Tail extracted and absorbed by it, then made the completed beast his Jinchuriki to prepare for the Ōtsutsuki Clan. He gained a substantial increase in chakra quantity but remained dissatisfied that he could not fully conceal his aura.

Otsutsuki Urashiki and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki discussed Hyuga Kagami’s dangerous Chakra Invasion technique and planned to wait for Momoshiki and Kinshiki before confronting him. Isshiki brought Urashiki to the prisoners for intelligence, where Urashiki extracted Orochimaru’s spirit to search his memories.

• Otsutsuki Urashiki told Ōtsutsuki Isshiki that his wounds from Hyuga Kagami had taken days to heal because Kagami’s attack had contaminated his chakra.

• Urashiki accepted Isshiki's plan to approach Obito Uchiha but insisted that Hyuga Kagami must die and that he wanted Kaguya's Ten-Tails and Kagami's Tenseigan.
• Orochimaru warned Kabuto and Kimimaro that the Ōtsutsuki would kill them once they were no longer useful, and Kimimaro asked whether the Hokage could stop them.

The Mist Squad evaded the Allied Shinobi Forces until White Zetsu led them to a concealed underground palace to meet Kara. There, they witnessed a Kara member regenerate a severed arm during a fight with Sasori’s Hiruko Human Puppet, and a figure welcomed Akatsuki to Kara’s base.

• A figure emerged from the shadows and welcomed Akatsuki to Kara’s base.

After leaving Kara’s base, Obito resolved to find the Otsutsuki’s hidden dimension and launch a surprise attack before Isshiki completed his reincarnation, which was only two days away.

• Isshiki told Obito that Momoshiki and Kinshiki would arrive, and claimed that he and Momoshiki were stronger fighters than Urashiki.

• Obito returned to Kara’s underground palace and demanded to see Isshiki, but Amado said Isshiki had been absent while handling his reincarnation.

• Isshiki told Obito to continue with his intelligence, but Hyuga Kagami stepped out of a spatial gate from within Obito.
