Chapter Summaries

Uchiha Daiki rejected Konoha’s call for immediate war against the Akatsuki and said Minato Namikaze and Kakashi could first try to resolve their conflict with Obito Uchiha. He then went to discuss the imprisoned Nine-Tails with the other Tailed Beasts, but Kurama’s fury and pride made clear that winning its cooperation would be difficult.

• Uchiha Daiki told Konoha’s leaders to stay focused on education, economic development, and their plan for peace rather than mobilizing against the Akatsuki.
• Uchiha Daiki said Minato Namikaze and Kakashi could first try to deal with Obito Uchiha themselves, and promised to intervene if they could not.

• The Nine-Tails recognized Shukaku, Son Goku, Kokuo, and Saiken and condemned them for cooperating with Konoha.
• The Four-Tails explained to Roshi that the Tailed Beasts had ranked their strength after a past battle, with the Nine-Tails first, and Roshi concluded that Uchiha Daiki would have trouble taming it.

Uchiha Daiki tried to persuade the Nine-Tails to work with him, explaining that a Sharingan-wielding enemy was hunting the Tailed Beasts and that he intended to unify the Shinobi World. The Nine-Tails began to believe the danger was real and was stunned to learn that the Land of Fire and the Land of Water had already merged.

• The Nine-Tails rejected Uchiha Daiki's offer to work together, but he calmly explained that another Sharingan user was seeking the power of all nine Tailed Beasts.

Uchiha Daiki demanded the Nine-Tails accept his protection and help stop the Akatsuki, but the beast refused to submit. Daiki demonstrated his strength by hurling the Nine-Tails into a mountain, leaving it incapacitated and the assembled shinobi stunned.

• Uchiha Daiki explained his ambition to protect the tailed beasts, stop the Akatsuki organization's schemes, and create peace, then asked the Nine-Tails to state its position.

• Hyuga Hiashi, Hizashi Hyuga, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the Anbu were stunned by Daiki's physical strength.
• The Nine-Tails remained embedded in the mountainside, dazed and unable to climb out, while Uchiha Daiki looked at his fist and wondered whether he had always been so strong.

After allowing the Nine-Tails limited freedom, Uchiha Daiki went to search for Minato Namikaze and Kakashi, who had been missing while pursuing Obito Uchiha. In the Kamui Dimension, Obito confronted his former teacher and teammate with baby Naruto, and Kakashi’s plea for him to return enraged him.

• Konoha's Anbu intelligence department reported Ōnoki's preparations to attack, and Uchiha Daiki ordered the village to raise its alert level and monitor the borders without engaging.

Ōnoki rallied a coalition of the Land of Earth and smaller nations to invade the Land of Fire, despite receiving no answer from Kumogakure. The coalition crossed the border toward Konoha, where Konoha’s border forces tracked their advance and sent the report to headquarters.

• Ōnoki urged the allied forces to fight Konoha, claiming it threatened their nations and had stolen Iwagakure’s Tailed Beasts.

Uchiha Daiki reasoned that the Akatsuki organization might attack Kumogakure while the Land of Earth’s forces were distracted, and asked Minato Namikaze to explain the Four Violet Flames Barrier. The chapter ended with the group considering whether the barrier could trap the invading army, though the stronger Four Red Yang Formation demanded far more powerful users.

• Minato Namikaze offered to confront the enemy forces, but Uchiha Daiki held back from ordering an attack.
• Shikaku Nara judged that the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth were unlikely to cooperate because of their lingering grudges.

• Minato Namikaze explained that the Four Violet Flames Barrier could not contain such a large force, and Uchiha Daiki asked him to teach its seals anyway.

• Uchiha Daiki asked where the enemy was and announced that they could set out to surprise them.

Ōnoki’s allied force entered the Land of Fire without encountering Konoha’s defenses, but a vast Chakra signature and spreading red curtains revealed that they had been surrounded.

• An Iwagakure Jonin raised an Earth Release wall, but the red curtain burned it to ashes almost instantly.

After Ōnoki broke through the Four Red Yang Formation with Dust Release, Uchiha Daiki gained the ability to use the Kekkei Tōta and formed a Dust Release core of his own. Ōnoki was left shocked as Daiki demonstrated the technique outside the breached barrier.

• Ōnoki and Uchiha Daiki prepared to clash with Dust Release, but Ōnoki backed down rather than risk dying in a mutual attack.
