Chapter Summaries

Minagawa Uchiha arrived in Sand Wind City to carry out the Land of Wind’s forest-planting commission in Tsunade’s place. After meeting Rasa and hearing the project’s scale, he decided to use the work as chakra training and considered sending a Wood Clone to help.

• A Sand Ninja questioned Minagawa Uchiha, recognized him as the famed Uchiha who had devastated Kumogakure’s forces, and escorted him to the Kazekage.
• Minagawa Uchiha presented the commission letter and told the Sand Ninja he had come to help the Land of Wind use Wood Style because Tsunade was busy.
• Rasa welcomed Minagawa Uchiha cautiously, and Minagawa Uchiha immediately asked to see the planned forest-planting areas.
• Rasa showed Minagawa Uchiha a map of river channels intended to irrigate the desert in stages and offered mineral resources and support in exchange for his help.
• Minagawa Uchiha judged that planting trees across the Land of Wind would take years, then resolved to treat the task as chakra training and considered using a Wood Clone along the riverbanks.

Minagawa Uchiha agreed to help the Land of Wind’s river project and used Wood Style to transform the desert around Sand Wind City into a vast forest. He left the stunned Sand Ninja behind as he continued working toward the construction teams’ progress.

• Minagawa Uchiha accepted Rasa’s proposal and learned how far the Land of Wind had built the river channel.
• Minagawa Uchiha left his residence near Chiyo and Ebizo, then planned to visit the Land of Rain later to consider Nagato’s role in using the Outer Path — Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique.
• Rasa and a group of Sand Ninja gathered to watch Minagawa Uchiha demonstrate his Wood Style.
• Minagawa Uchiha created a Wood Clone and used Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence to raise a forest across dozens of kilometers around Sand Wind City.
• Rasa and the Sand Ninja explored the forest and realized the city was surrounded, but Minagawa Uchiha had already left and continued his work.

Minagawa Uchiha used his power and Imitation Kotoamatsukami to make Rasa more willing to submit, while Rasa reassured the people of Sand Wind City by announcing that the Land of Wind would become fertile. After planting trees across the region and leaving three Wood Clones to continue the work, Minagawa Uchiha departed for the Rōran Ruins to investigate the Dragon Vein.

• Minagawa Uchiha secretly used Imitation Kotoamatsukami to plant reverence for the strong in Rasa, making submission seem natural.
• Rasa returned to Sand Wind City and told the citizens that Minagawa Uchiha had planted trees around the city and promised the Land of Wind would become suitable for living and farming.
• The crowd cheered for the Land of Wind and the God of Shinobi, while Minagawa Uchiha spent the day planting trees along the Sand Ninja's river channels and improving his chakra control.
• After testing Wood Clone endurance for several days, Minagawa Uchiha left three clones in Sand Wind City to continue planting trees.
• Minagawa Uchiha left Sand Wind City for the Rōran Ruins, concerned that the Dragon Vein's time travel could be unpredictable.

Minagawa Uchiha reached Rōran’s ruins, released the Dragon Vein’s seal, and absorbed its brief eruption while studying how it enabled time travel. He identified parallel space-times as the Dragon Vein’s destinations and concluded that he needed to find the Gelel Stone before traveling to the future to meet the Otsutsuki Clan.

• Minagawa Uchiha found Rōran’s underground sealing platform and recognized the Fourth Hokage’s Eight Trigrams Seal.
• Minagawa Uchiha considered the risks of traveling through time, then decided to study the Dragon Vein before attempting a journey.
• Minagawa Uchiha released the seal, absorbed the Dragon Vein’s erupting energy, and memorized the amount needed to trigger time travel.
• Minagawa Uchiha sensed multiple parallel space-times and judged that the current energy could reach the fading Future Space-Time rather than the still-distant Past Space-Time.
• Minagawa Uchiha decided to find the Gelel Stone and strengthen himself before traveling to the future to meet the Otsutsuki Clan.

Minagawa Uchiha found the Gelel Ore Vein and prepared a Fuinjutsu seal to draw out its energy safely. The seal began to buckle as Grell Energy poured through the opening, and he absorbed the surge while trying to keep the seal intact.

• Minagawa Uchiha sealed the Dragon Vein Energy inside himself and traveled from Rōran to the coast of the Land of Rivers to search for the Gelel Ore Vein.
• He used clones and local reports to locate a merchant caravan guarding the area, then used Genjutsu on an old man to learn where the ore vein was.
• Minagawa Uchiha told the old man that his mission was over and that he might help rescue the royal bloodline before heading underground.
• He reached the sealed hall, drew a Fuinjutsu pattern on the ceiling, and cut a small opening to the ore vein.
• When the stone cracked and Grell Energy surged through, Minagawa Uchiha absorbed it with the Seal Absorption Technique while using chakra to hold the seal together.

Minagawa Uchiha absorbed the Gelel Ore Vein, greatly increasing his chakra reserves, then returned to Sand Wind City after three days. He found the city transformed and Rasa waiting to thank him.

• As the stone ceiling began to collapse, Minagawa Uchiha used Wood Style: Wood Golem Wall to contain the ore vein and expanded his Seal Absorption Technique to stop Grell Energy from leaking.
• Minagawa Uchiha absorbed the Gelel Energy and spent two days refining it, estimating that his chakra reserves now rivaled the Ten-Tails.
• Minagawa Uchiha reached the desert border and sensed that his Wood Clone in Sand Wind City had survived.
• Minagawa Uchiha returned to a lively Sand Wind City, where people celebrated among the newly grown trees.
• Rasa waited at the entrance to Sliver of Sky, thanked Minagawa Uchiha, and invited him to a reception, leaving Minagawa Uchiha puzzled by Rasa's changed behavior.

Minagawa Uchiha met Rasa, who asked about his missing son and the other vanished jinchuriki. Minagawa revealed Akatsuki's role and Uchiha Madara's plans, leaving Rasa resolved to keep Sunagakure out of the coming conflict and focus on developing the Land of Wind.

• Rasa invited Minagawa Uchiha to a barbecue meal without their usual attendants and thanked him for transforming Sunagakure's fortunes.
• Rasa asked Minagawa whether he knew who had taken the missing jinchuriki, including Rasa's youngest son, Gaara.
• Minagawa told Rasa that Akatsuki was capturing tailed beasts for Uchiha Madara's resurrection plan and said Gaara had likely died after his tailed beast was extracted.
• Rasa understood Minagawa's warning to avoid provoking Akatsuki for three years and promised to keep Sunagakure restrained while seeking his future assistance.
• Minagawa left after promising to deal with ambitious threats like Uchiha Madara, and Rasa decided to develop the Land of Wind rather than pursue unrealistic ambitions.

Minagawa Uchiha traveled through the Dragon Vein to another time, discovered that his Yang Release had grown far stronger, and prepared to head to Konoha. He arrived as Ōtsutsuki Isshiki attacked the village to seize Kawaki's body.

• Minagawa Uchiha crossed through the Dragon Vein and arrived among the ruins of Rōran, though the spatial turbulence left him dazed.
• Minagawa Uchiha used Wood Style to test his power and concluded that his Yang Release attribute had increased by two tiers.
• Minagawa Uchiha left a Flying Thunder God mark and several Wood Clones to guard the unsealed Dragon Vein before setting out for Konoha.
• Minagawa Uchiha reached Konoha during a battle in which the village was losing ground to a lone invader.
• Isshiki had revived temporarily through Jigen and attacked Konoha to take Kawaki's body, which bore his Karma.

• Minagawa Uchiha read an Anbu’s memories, learned Isshiki had invaded Konoha, and followed Kawaki’s trail into the Alternate Space using Kamui.
• Minagawa Uchiha persuaded Kawaki to let him impersonate him, studied Kawaki’s mannerisms, and hid the real Kawaki.
• Minagawa Uchiha appeared as Kawaki and let Isshiki inscribe Karma, but the mark began to disappear as Isshiki’s life ended.
• Minagawa Uchiha revealed himself and used the Preta Path and Human Path to drain Isshiki’s chakra and erase his soul.
• Uchiha Sasuke confronted Minagawa Uchiha, who mocked him as his younger brother; Sasuke noticed the Uchiha crest on Minagawa’s clothes.

Minagawa Uchiha revealed his Sharingan and Rinnegan to Sasuke, then condemned Sasuke and Naruto for neglecting the Uchiha Clan’s losses and the Land of Rain. He left them behind and absorbed Isshiki’s remaining power from Kawaki, Code, and the Ten-Tails to strengthen his Kamui World.

• Minagawa Uchiha showed Sasuke his changing eyes, from the Sharingan to the Rinnegan, and claimed to be his older brother.
• Naruto confronted Minagawa Uchiha, who criticized him for failing to fulfill his promise to Nagato and help the Land of Rain.
• Sasuke defended Naruto’s priorities, and Minagawa Uchiha accused both of them of repeating the injustices that destroyed the Uchiha Clan.
• Minagawa Uchiha absorbed Isshiki’s remaining power from Kawaki, then used Kamui to find Code and the Ten-Tails.
• Minagawa Uchiha absorbed the energy from Code and the Ten-Tails to nourish his Kamui World.

Minagawa Uchiha returned from the alternate time-space after absorbing the Ten-Tails, Code, and Dragon Vein Energy, but discovered that the external power had made his chakra harder to control. He fed the remaining Dragon Vein Energy to his Kamui World, gaining powerful space-time abilities and sensing chakra sources across the Ninja World and moon.

• Minagawa Uchiha absorbed the Ten-Tails and Code, then reached the Dragon Vein and absorbed its energy to return to his original time-space.
• Minagawa Uchiha landed safely but crushed the ground beneath him and realized his strength was difficult to control.
• Minagawa Uchiha spent two days refining the Dragon Vein Energy and tempering his chakra, discovering that its increased quantity had made control more difficult.
• Minagawa Uchiha decided to avoid absorbing external energy again, then used his Kamui World to absorb the remaining Dragon Vein Energy and convert it into World Power.
• Minagawa Uchiha gained deeper space-time understanding and expanded his sensory ability across the Ninja World and into the moon, where he sensed Kaguya, Hamura, and the Giant Tenseigan.

Minagawa Uchiha tested his new ability to teleport without markings after sensing the moon and its chakra sources, including Kaguya Otsutsuki. While he explored his powers, the Land of Fire expanded its influence across the other nations, but Ōnoki continued building up the Land of Earth and refused cooperation.

• Minagawa Uchiha sensed Toneri, the Giant Tenseigan, Hamura, and Kaguya Otsutsuki on the moon, then stopped probing when Kaguya seemed to notice him.
• Minagawa Uchiha absorbed the Dragon Vein Energy into the Kamui World and successfully teleported from beneath Rōran to his room in Sand Wind City without markings.

• The Land of Fire accepted cooperation requests from the other major nations and sent powerful shinobi, while Kimimaro and Hyuga Hiashi reached Super Kage Level.
• Tsunade's displays of power made many Mist Ninja consider submitting to the Land of Fire, while the Land of Lightning feared it after Minagawa Uchiha and Kaguya Kimimaro defeated their forces and challengers.
• Ōnoki rejected cooperation with the Land of Fire and expanded the Stone Ninja force by recruiting talented people across the Land of Earth.

After Minagawa Uchiha returned from his three-month absence, he agreed to resume the Land of Wind’s halted water diversion work and help stabilize the river channels. Ebizo pledged the Land of Wind’s allegiance to the Land of Fire, leaving Minagawa Uchiha confident that the nation was moving toward submission.

• Minagawa Uchiha abandoned an impractical idea for expanding his sensory range and realized he could use Intangibility to avoid problems during spatial transfer.

• Minagawa Uchiha apologized for the delay and promised to help excavate rivers starting the next day.
• Ebizo thanked Minagawa Uchiha, apologized to the Land of Fire for the Land of Wind’s past wars, and pledged that the Land of Wind would follow its lead.
• Minagawa Uchiha asked whether Ebizo understood the Land of Fire’s intentions, and Ebizo showed that he had already recognized its plans to reshape the Ninja World.

Minagawa Uchiha secured Ebizo’s agreement to bring Sunagakure into the Land of Fire’s planned unification, then learned that Nagato had injured Rasa when the Sand Ninja tried to divert a river through the Land of Rain. Minagawa led a new construction team to resume the work and confronted Deva Path Pain, greeting him by his real name, Nagato.

• Minagawa told Ebizo that the Land of Fire intended to unify the Ninja World and offered the Sand Ninja generous treatment if they submitted; Ebizo agreed to organize them discreetly.
• Ebizo explained that Nagato had injured Rasa and the Sand Ninja after they entered the Land of Rain to divert its river, forcing them to abandon the project.
• Minagawa decided to resume the river diversion himself, partly to prevent further conflict and partly to approach Nagato without raising Black Zetsu’s suspicions.
• The next morning, Minagawa departed with Baki and several Sand Ninja after encouraging Rasa to focus on developing the Land of Wind.
• At the construction site, Minagawa used Wood Style Clones to plant trees, demolished nearby mountains with his fists, and brought the Sand Ninja back to work on the river.
• Deva Path Pain arrived beneath the rain curtain, and Minagawa flew up to meet him and called him Nagato.

Minagawa Uchiha met Nagato and proposed negotiating to transport the Land of Rain’s excess water to the Land of Wind, while revealing that he knew about Akatsuki’s plans. He began explaining his own approach to peace, leaving Nagato to weigh their goals and Minagawa’s claims.

• Minagawa Uchiha revealed his Rinnegan, startling Nagato and undermining his belief that he alone had been chosen by destiny.
• Minagawa Uchiha told Nagato he had come to negotiate moving the Land of Rain’s excess water to the Land of Wind, and Nagato considered whether the proposal could help fulfill Yahiko’s dream.
• Minagawa Uchiha assured Nagato that he would not interfere with Akatsuki’s plan to gather the Tailed Beasts, provided Nagato did not obstruct his own path.

• Minagawa Uchiha joined the Sand Ninja and, without waiting for an agreement between the countries, used the Super Strength Technique to punch the ground toward the Land of Wind.

Over two years, Minagawa Uchiha helped transform the Land of Wind from a desert into a green land of rivers, forests, and farms, while the Land of Rain also prospered. At the reconstruction celebration, the two countries’ leaders praised Minagawa, whose strength had grown enormously, and their close cooperation left them nearly united with the Land of Fire.

• Minagawa Uchiha lined a new river channel with rock, planted trees along its banks, and connected it to waterways from the Land of Rain.

Minagawa Uchiha and the Land of Fire’s leaders agreed to subdue the Land of Earth and gradually bring it under their influence, then Minagawa set out for the Land of Grass with Karin so she could avenge her mother. The story left them traveling together, with Minagawa reflecting on how many tragedies from the Original Work had already been changed.

• Mitarashi Anko proposed crushing the Land of Earth and unifying the other nations by force, but Orochimaru warned that the Land of Fire needed a united, prosperous population rather than needless casualties.
• Orochimaru recommended subduing the Land of Earth and infiltrating it with merchant caravans, following the approach used in the Land of Lightning.
