Chapter Summaries

Uchiha Madara unsealed Nameless and persuaded her to join him by giving her the name Hikari and showing her the history of the world since her sealing. He tasked Fugaku with taking Hikari to the Land of Water so they could seize Madara’s backup plan and provoke Kirigakure into attacking Konoha.

• Madara told Nameless that he was the Uchiha Clan Head and offered her a new identity as his clansman and follower.
• Madara used a genjutsu to show Hikari his memories, including the founding of Konoha, his conflict with Hashirama, and the wars that followed.
• Hikari accepted Madara’s offer and took the name Uchiha Hikari.
• Madara led Hikari and Fugaku out of the cave and told Hikari to learn about the current era before working with Fugaku.
• Madara ordered Fugaku to take Hikari to the Land of Water, seize his backup plan, and use it to make Kirigakure attack Konoha.

Uchiha Madara explained that his plan required drawing Tobirama’s former student out of Konoha, while Uchiha Gen considered the rewards from the latest major battle and the limits of his own authority and experience. The story left Gen reluctant to pursue wars for experience and still developing the leadership skills to match his strength.

• Uchiha Madara told Uchiha Fugaku to let tensions rise and said he would need Fugaku to return to Konoha when its defenses were depleted.
• Orochimaru moved his army to the border between the Land of Frost and the Land of Hot Water to keep pressure on Kumogakure without advancing across the open plains.
• Uchiha Gen opened his system panel in a hot spring and received a Battle Chest for surviving and winning the large-scale war mission.
• Uchiha Gen considered whether major battles could provide the experience and rare cards he needed, then rejected the idea of starting wars for those rewards.
• Uchiha Gen reflected that his combat strength had grown rapidly, while his political experience and command authority still lagged behind.

After earning a deep purple Battle Chest, Uchiha Gen obtained a Character Replacement Card and traded away his obsolete Ninja Path Sasuke card for a choice of three Purple Character Cards. He weighed Haruno Sakura’s and Toshifumi Mifune’s strengths, but had not yet chosen which card to keep.

• Uchiha Gen checked his System Panel, noted his level-up progress, and used his available gacha pull to obtain a blue Skill Learning Card.
• Uchiha Gen opened the deep purple Battle Chest he had earned for killing the Third Raikage and received a purple Character Replacement Card.
• Uchiha Gen sacrificed his Uchiha Sasuke (Ninja Path) card and revealed Haruno Sakura (Hundred Strengths), Toshifumi Mifune (Ninja World War), and Dodai (Ninja World War) as his three replacement options.
• Uchiha Gen rejected Dodai as a poor fit and compared Mifune’s swordsmanship with Sakura’s combat and medical abilities, while considering that Sakura’s chakra-related powers overlapped with his own.

Uchiha Gen chose Toshifumi Mifune’s Character Card over Hundred Strengths Sakura’s, valuing its combat boost more than additional medical ninjutsu. He equipped Mifune’s card and went into the snowy woods to test it.

• Uchiha Gen weighed Hundred Strengths Sakura’s medical abilities against Toshifumi Mifune’s combat strength and decided Sakura’s skills offered less value to him.
• Uchiha Gen selected Toshifumi Mifune’s card and watched its cinematic recount Mifune’s defeat by Hanzo, rise as a samurai general, and later victory over the revived Hanzo.
• Uchiha Gen left the hot springs, changed into his clan clothes, and headed into the woods to test Mifune’s combat strength.
• Uchiha Gen unequipped Karin Uzumaki’s Character Card and equipped Toshifumi Mifune’s, keeping his Mangekyō Sharingan equipped.
