Chapter Summaries

Minato No. 2 followed Uchiha Jin’s strategy as Konoha secretly took control of the Land of Fire while chaos spread across the shinobi world. In the Land of Rain, Pain suspected Konoha was behind the turmoil but chose to focus on capturing the tailed beasts.

• Minato No. 2 praised Uchiha Jin’s political strategy and told Kakashi Number 2 that Konoha should proceed step by step.
• Konoha secretly established control over the Land of Fire while concealing how quickly it recovered.
• The shinobi world descended into disorder, while the Land of Rain remained relatively stable because Konoha left its Daimyo untouched.
• Pain reasoned that Konoha was likely behind the chaos because Orochimaru and Senju Hashirama were the only survivors who knew Akatsuki’s strength.
• Pain told Konan to ignore Konoha for now and begin capturing the tailed beasts with One-Tail, while wondering about Madara’s identity and goal.

Nagato and Konan decided to capture the Tailed Beasts and kill Fake Madara before he could betray them. When Uchiha Madara appeared and revealed that Nagato had been manipulated to protect the Rinnegan for him, Nagato sacrificed himself to resurrect Madara and sent Konan fleeing toward Konoha.

Konan told Reanimated Minato 2 that Nagato was likely dead and that a cracked, seemingly reanimated Uchiha Madara had come for him, prompting an emergency meeting in Konoha. As the group considered the threat of Madara with the Rinnegan, Shikaichi No. 1 revealed that Minato had prepared a backup plan in case the Sage of Six Paths intervened.

• Reanimated Minato 2 questioned Konan’s reasons for defecting, and she explained that Nagato had sent her to Konoha after a man she suspected was Uchiha Madara arrived at Akatsuki.
• Minato summoned Konoha’s leaders, the former Hokage, and other allies to an emergency meeting, allowing Konan to stay in the village for now.

• Shikaichi No. 1 said the group would use Minato’s backup plan if the Sage of Six Paths interfered and proved impossible to oppose.

• Shikaichi No. 1 explained that a one-way talisman could send everyone back and allow Uchiha Jin to descend briefly, but they were to summon him only in a crisis.
• Minato No. 2 asked whether Konan should join Konoha, and Shikaichi No. 1 offered to take her to his world's Konoha instead.
• Konan chose to join, and Minato No. 2 ended the meeting.
• Shikaichi No. 1 led Konan and the others toward the Uchiha Compound, but an explosion erupted at Konoha Gate and drew Konoha's forces there.

Jiraiya opposed Konoha in the name of the peace prophesied by the Great Toad Sage, forcing Minato No. 2 to fight his former teacher as Akatsuki attacked the village. Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara led the battle away from Konoha, while the other fighters followed to protect civilians.

• Minato No. 2 pleaded with Jiraiya to stop, but Jiraiya declared that Konoha had taken the wrong path and challenged him to fight.
• Jiraiya, Sage Fukasaku, and Sage Shima unleashed Sage Art: Goemon, but Tobirama No. 2 blocked the flames with Water Release: Water Wall.
• Minato No. 2 attacked Jiraiya, and the two began fighting after the Toad Sages used their sound-based Genjutsu.
• Akatsuki entered through the gate and clashed with Konoha's fighters, so Senju Hashirama used Wood Release to drive the enemies outside the village.
• Uchiha Madara appeared, agreed to Hashirama's request to keep their fight away from civilians, and headed outside Konoha as the other fighters followed.

As Konoha overwhelmed the Akatsuki, the fighters from the other world summoned Uchiha Jin to intervene. Jin arrived at the battlefield and effortlessly captured Kisame, Sasori, and Deidara, while the duel between Hashirama and Madara remained unresolved.

• Seeing Hashirama struggle against the resurrected Madara, Shikaichi from Room 1 proposed using Hokage-sama’s contingency plan, and the group agreed.

• Konoha’s fighters defeated most of the Akatsuki, capturing Jiraiya and Hidan as Obito and Zetsu retreated.
• Uchiha Jin asked Tobirama, Mito, and Sakumo to spare Kisame, Sasori, and Deidara, then bound all three with Six Rods Prison of Light.

Uchiha Jin captured Deidara, Sasori of the Red Sands, and Kisame, then stepped in after Uchiha Madara defeated Senju Hashirama with Limbo: Border Jail. Madara offered Jin a chance to withdraw, but Jin instead asked him about the time he waited at the wrong gate while his clansmen waited to leave with him.

• Uchiha Jin sealed the chakra of Deidara, Sasori of the Red Sands, and Kisame and handed them to Senju Tobirama to imprison.

• Uchiha Jin asked Madara why he had waited at the front gate while his clansmen waited at the back gate.

• Uchiha Jin claimed that clan members had waited for Uchiha Madara at a back door, and Senju Tobirama falsely confirmed the story.
• Senju Hashirama urged Uchiha Madara to return, while Madara felt a moment of warmth before recommitting to the Moon Eye Plan.
• Black Zetsu recognized the story as a lie but stayed silent because correcting it could reveal his deception.
• Uchiha Jin told Uchiha Madara that the Infinite Tsukuyomi would mass-produce White Zetsu and challenged him to settle their disagreement through strength.
• Uchiha Madara accepted the challenge and warned Uchiha Jin that he might die if he let his guard down.

Uchiha Jin overwhelmed Uchiha Madara with Kurohitsugi and Ryujin Jakka, forcing Madara to concede before the flames could reach their full force. Jin ended the fight and agreed to discuss the Moon Eye Plan back in Konoha, where Madara asked why Jin believed it was fake.

• Uchiha Jin attacked Uchiha Madara with Kurohitsugi, trapping him in a black coffin filled with spiritual-pressure blades.
• Uchiha Madara used Perfect Susanoo, then Limbo: Border Jail, and broke free after two minutes with severe wounds.

• Obito remembered that Uchiha Jin had been his withdrawn, slightly above-average academy classmate whose squad was supposedly wiped out during the Third Shinobi War.

Uchiha Jin explained the Shinigami system and the origins of his Zanpakuto to Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, and Namikaze Minato, leaving them stunned by his revelations about the Shinobi World. He then warned Madara that Black Zetsu would seek him out and suggested using him to resurrect Izuna, and Madara agreed to capture him that night.

• Uchiha Madara asked Uchiha Jin what his powerful fire attack was, and Senju Hashirama and Namikaze Minato listened curiously.
• Uchiha Jin explained that his weapon was a Zanpakuto and described the Shinigami faction, its cultivation system, and his sword's Shikai and Bankai.

• Uchiha Jin returned to the Uchiha Compound and found no transmigrators or reincarnators in this world.
• Senju Hashirama asked Tsunade to summon Katsuyu, who brought an ancient sword from Shikkotsu Forest that might be a Zanpakuto.
• Senju Hashirama and Tsunade each meditated with the sword but failed to sense its power, so Hashirama decided they would wait for Tobirama before approaching Uchiha Jin.
• Uchiha Madara stayed in Izuna’s courtyard, intending to capture Black Zetsu so he could use him to resurrect Izuna and Hashirama.
• Black Zetsu appeared, and Uchiha Madara used Chibaku Tensei to seize him despite his pleas.

• Black Zetsu cursed Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Jin, and Hagoromo as Chibaku Tensei dragged him into the seal, confirming that he had manipulated Madara.

• Uchiha Jin opened Amenominaka to his Sand Dimension, kicked the miniature moon through the rift, and closed it.
• Uchiha Madara asked how Uchiha Jin had awakened the Rinnegan, and Uchiha Jin explained his belief in cultivating body and spirit rather than exhausting one's potential.

Uchiha Jin explained that a genetic seal suppressed the Uchiha’s dojutsu power and that nurturing it had let him break through, while warning that the Sage of Six Paths might be responsible. He sent everyone to rest and watch for further moves by the Sage and Gamamaru, then returned to his residence, where Uchiha Madara came to see him.

• Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, and Uchiha Madara considered Jin’s ideas about chakra and dojutsu power.
• Jin told the Uchiha that a seal in their genes absorbed their dojutsu power and that he had broken it by nurturing his own power with his Mangekyo ability.

• Jin told Madara to choose whom to revive first and warned that the Sage of Six Paths and Gamamaru might make another move.
• Jin returned to the residence Elder Setsuna had given him, and Madara came to visit before he could rest.
