Chapter Summaries

Uchiha Gen and his companions tried to escape the Sunagakure pursuit, but Hizashi Hyuga discovered that their leader could hide by merging with the earth and trees. Gen recognized the technique as the White Zetsu’s Mayfly Technique, changed course toward a lake to break the pursuit, and Maiko volunteered to cover the others’ retreat.

• Uchiha Gen and his team used traps and evasive tactics to slow the pursuing Sunagakure ninja, but Hizashi Hyuga reported that the enemy leader still followed them.
• Hizashi Hyuga discovered that the leader used Earth Release and a technique to merge into the ground and trees, evading even the Byakugan.

• Uchiha Gen studied the map and ordered the group toward a large lake, where water could disrupt the Mayfly Technique.
• Maiko volunteered to stay behind and cover the retreat as the pursuers closed in.

Uchiha Gen and Hizashi Hyuga fought a powerful Sunagakure jonin who was actually White Zetsu, then escaped through the lake after Gen struck him with a Rasengan. They left with a piece of White Zetsu as evidence while their pursuers closed in.

• Maiko entrusted Uchiha Gen with protecting and teaching her younger brother Li Fu, then stayed behind as the others continued toward the forest’s edge.
• A Sunagakure jonin confronted Uchiha Gen and Hizashi Hyuga, while Sarutobi Enju, Utsuki Ruri, and the others withdrew with the intelligence.
• Uchiha Gen and Hizashi Hyuga worked together to hold off the powerful enemy as Gen used explosive-tagged wires and fire techniques to injure him.
• The enemy revealed himself as White Zetsu when Uchiha Gen pierced his chest, and Gen countered his Wind Blade with a Rasengan that grievously wounded him.
• Uchiha Gen collected a pale finger from White Zetsu and fled with Hizashi Hyuga, then summoned Blood Spot to carry them underwater through the lake.

Uchiha Gen and Hizashi Hyuga escaped the Sunagakure ambush by riding Blood Spot underwater, then coordinated with Orochimaru to turn their pursuit into an opening for a Konoha attack. They set out to help Enju and the others after learning they had encountered a Sunagakure patrol.

• Blood Spot surfaced on the far shore of the lake and spat out Uchiha Gen and Hizashi Hyuga, who recovered and confirmed they had escaped their pursuers for the moment.
• Hizashi Hyuga used his Byakugan to identify their location and route north, while Uchiha Gen asked him to prepare the reconnaissance maps for Orochimaru.
• Orochimaru received Uchiha Gen's plan and ordered Konoha forces to attack from multiple directions, drawing Sunagakure's main force away and exploiting gaps in its defenses.
• A white snake told Uchiha Gen that Orochimaru's forces had moved out, but Enju and the others had run into a Sunagakure patrol and needed help.
• Uchiha Gen and Hizashi Hyuga set out to assist Enju's group and regroup with them.

Uchiha Gen and Hizashi Hyuga arrived in time to help Sarutobi Enju’s squad defeat the Sunagakure force, then Gen realized Dan Katō had empowered Enju with the Spirit Transformation Technique. Dan entered Gen’s mental world to meet him.

• Hizashi Hyuga and Uchiha Gen spotted an opening and attacked the Sunagakure squad leader while Sarutobi Enju held him back.
• Uchiha Gen struck the leader with a Rasengan, killing him, and their squad pursued and killed the remaining Sunagakure ninjas.
• Uchiha Gen recognized that Dan Katō had possessed Sarutobi Enju and lent him Chakra through the Spirit Transformation Technique.
• Sarutobi Enju said Dan Katō wanted to meet Uchiha Gen, so Gen closed his Sharingan and relaxed his mind.
• Dan Katō’s spirit entered Uchiha Gen’s dark crimson mental world, where Gen saw the long-haired man before him.

Dan Katō joined Uchiha Gen’s group with a plan to strike a Sunagakure supply convoy, and the combined force instead began by overwhelming an enemy outpost. After clearing it, Dan learned the location of the warehouse seal and entrusted Kamaza with opening it.

• Dan Katō met Uchiha Gen and proposed joining forces with Orochimaru’s team to attack the Sunagakure supply convoy.
• Uchiha Gen’s group reached Dan Katō’s valley and met Inuzuka Tsume, Shiro Aburame, and the rest of Dan’s squad.
• Dan Katō’s force and Uchiha Gen’s group launched a surprise attack on a Sunagakure outpost, with Uchiha Gen and Inuzuka Tsume cutting through its defenders.
• The allied ninja defeated the outpost’s thirty or forty Sunagakure guards in little more than ten minutes.
• Dan Katō searched a captured ninja’s memories, identified the warehouse entrance and seal, and told Kamaza to open it while watching for Explosive Tag traps.

Uchiha Gen joined Dan Katō’s team in destroying Sunagakure’s supply strongholds before they were driven from the Asuka Mountain Range. Back at Konoha’s camp, Gen treated Akimichi Chōza and reflected on the mission’s dangers and likely high rank.

• Uchiha Gen took supplies from a Sunagakure warehouse and destroyed it with the Great Fire Gale Technique.
• Dan Katō’s thirteen-person team raced between Sunagakure strongholds and destroyed eleven while Orochimaru’s forces held the main enemy force in place.
• Sunagakure pulled back frontline troops and sent Jonin after Dan Katō’s team, driving them from the Asuka Mountain Range.
• Uchiha Gen treated Akimichi Chōza’s severe injuries after the exhausted team returned to Konoha’s camp.
• Uchiha Gen considered how Madara’s trap had made the mission far more dangerous and concluded that the team’s intelligence and raids could earn high A-rank or S-rank ratings.

Uchiha Gen told Orochimaru that a mysterious enemy had attacked him and showed him a severed White Zetsu finger, which Orochimaru took for research. After being warned to avoid dangerous solo missions while recovering, Gen was assigned to help with the camp’s medical and administrative workload.

• Orochimaru showed Uchiha Gen a list of suspected spies and asked whether any had been in contact with him.

• Orochimaru assigned Gen to train, handle medical duties, and help ease the workload at camp while Tsunade was away.
• Uchiha Gen treated wounded comrades and then met Mitarai Zixiao, who told him to use his name rather than call him Senior.

Uchiha Gen balanced medical work, paperwork, and training before receiving rewards for two missions that raised him to level 35. His gacha pull produced an Ability Transplant Card, which could destroy a lower-tier Character Card to transfer one of its abilities to him.

• The System repaired the Ability Borrowing Card into an Ability Transplant Card that could extract one ability from a lower-tier Character Card by destroying it.

Uchiha Gen destroyed his Young Tsunade Character Card to transplant her Incomplete Sage Body into himself, boosting his attributes and freeing a card slot. After equipping Young Kakashi, he tested his enhanced abilities and felt ready to face the White Zetsu again without Hizashi Hyuga's help.

• Uchiha Gen saw his total attributes rise to 56 and gained an empty card slot.
• Uchiha Gen equipped Young Kakashi and activated Lightning Release, believing he could now contend with the White Zetsu without Hizashi Hyuga's support.

Orochimaru sent Uchiha Gen back to the frontline, expecting him to earn enough merit for promotion to Jonin as the war against Sunagakure intensified. After months of desperate battles in the Land of Rain, Gen's detachment withdrew from a reinforced enemy stronghold, leaving the final battle near.

• Mitarai Zixiao said his detachment needed reinforcements to take the stronghold, while Uchiha Gen realized the final battle was approaching.

After returning to Konoha, Uchiha Gen used a Quality Enhancement Card to upgrade a ration pill item card and discovered its pills might counteract the harmful effects of contracting Rashomon Gates. He drew the upgraded pills and stored them for testing, leaving open whether they would help him reach the Third Gate.

• Uchiha Gen returned to his residence after treating his injuries and reviewed the rewards from three months of missions.
• Uchiha Gen used his Quality Enhancement Card on a Standard Ration Pill Set card and obtained a Premium Ration Pill Set card.
• Uchiha Gen considered whether the premium pills could reduce the abnormal effects of Rashomon Gate shockwaves and help him contract additional gates.
• Uchiha Gen summoned three Premium Ration Pills, scraped powder from them with tweezers, and sealed them in a bottle.

Uchiha Gen joined a large Konoha force led by Orochimaru and Tsunade to attack a Sunagakure stronghold and decided they should confront Chiyo head-on. After coordinating Konoha’s Fire Release assault and breaking through the defenses, he charged into the battle and found himself enjoying the fight.

• Uchiha Gen tasted and collected the remaining Ration Pill powder so he could later analyze its ingredients.
• Orochimaru and Tsunade arrived with a large Konoha force, explaining that they had been pursuing Chiyo for three months.
• Orochimaru asked Uchiha Gen how to proceed, and Gen recommended attacking directly while Konoha held the advantage in numbers and strength.
• Uchiha Gen coordinated the Konoha Fire Release Squad, whose combined flames overwhelmed Sunagakure’s Wind Release and breached the stronghold’s earthen wall.
• Uchiha Gen charged through the breach with the elite Konoha fighters, cutting down enemies and realizing that he enjoyed the battle.

Uchiha Gen fought Chiyo’s puppets on the battlefield, using his Sharingan and swordsmanship to counter their attacks until Tsunade and Orochimaru intervened. Chiyo faced the two Konoha leaders while keeping Gen marked as a priority target.

• Uchiha Gen led Konoha’s advance through Sunagakure’s ranks as Tsunade treated the wounded and Orochimaru watched.
• Chiyo sent her Ten Puppets of Chikamatsu against Uchiha Gen, who destroyed one puppet and severed the puppets’ Chakra threads.
• Chiyo added more puppets and used poison needles and Three Treasures Absorption to pressure Gen.
• Tsunade interrupted the puppets’ attack with Painful Heavenly Foot, and Orochimaru sent snakes surging toward Chiyo.
• Chiyo faced Tsunade and Orochimaru with her ten puppets, having singled out Gen as a threat to Sunagakure.

Uchiha Gen recovered from his clash with Chiyo and fought Sunagakure shinobi until Kakuzu appeared to capture him. Gen used battlefield tactics and a surprise underground attack to challenge the stronger bounty hunter.

• Tsunade and Orochimaru stopped Chiyo, allowing Uchiha Gen to withdraw and treat his injured hand.
• Uchiha Gen defeated a probing Sunagakure shinobi with Rasengan, then rejoined the fight alongside Konoha Ninja.
• Uchiha Gen advanced through Sunagakure forces with Fire Release until Kakuzu blocked his path and revealed he had been hired to capture him.
• Uchiha Gen inferred that Madara and Black Zetsu were behind the attempt, then fought Kakuzu while hoping Konoha reinforcements would arrive.
• Kakuzu countered Uchiha Gen's techniques with a masked monster, but Gen burrowed underground and appeared behind him with a lightning-charged strike.

Uchiha Gen fought Kakuzu until Maruboshi Kosuke and Mokume Koto arrived to support him. The three Konoha ninja forced Kakuzu to retreat as Konoha gained the upper hand on the battlefield.

• Uchiha Gen’s Shadow Clone and Kakuzu’s Water Clone vanished, and the two fought at close range as Kakuzu’s Earth Spear resisted Gen’s attacks.
• Kakuzu kicked Uchiha Gen into a ruined watchtower, but Gen summoned snakes and struck back with a Rasengan.
• Maruboshi Kosuke and Mokume Koto arrived, and Uchiha Gen explained Kakuzu’s hardened defense and warned them about his modified body.
• The three Konoha ninja combined their techniques to pressure Kakuzu while Uchiha Gen attacked with Chidori.
• Kakuzu judged that the mission had failed and retreated to avoid being trapped by Konoha’s forces.

After Kakuzu retreated, Konoha’s forces tended to their wounded while Orochimaru deduced that the people targeting Uchiha Gen wanted to study the Sharingan and produce a Mangekyō wielder under their control. His reasoning matched Madara’s aims, though Gen kept the truth to himself.

• Kakuzu withdrew from the battle, and Chiyo led Sunagakure’s battered forces away after him.
• Mokume Koto and Maruboshi Kosuke discussed Sunagakure’s weakened position while Uchiha Gen and Tsunade treated Konoha’s injured.
• Orochimaru assured Uchiha Gen that a poisoned Sunagakure ninja could not hear them, then asked whether the people who hired Kakuzu were behind the attacks.
• Uchiha Gen explained that Kakuzu had tried to capture him rather than kill him, leading Orochimaru to conclude that the attackers sought to study his talent and Uchiha bloodline.
• Orochimaru predicted that the attackers would target other promising Uchiha to obtain a Mangekyō Sharingan wielder, and Uchiha Gen recognized that the deduction aligned with Madara’s plan.

After returning victorious from the Land of Rain, Uchiha Gen reunited with his family and tested his Sharingan against the Great Elder. The Great Elder taught him about Mangekyō Sharingan and warned him to be wary of Konoha’s higher-ups.

• Uchiha Gen revealed that someone was watching him, and the Great Elder mistakenly suspected Danzo before warning him not to trust Konoha’s higher-ups.

Uchiha Gen discussed the dangers facing him with the Great Elder, who warned that both Konoha's leadership and rival villages would view him as a threat. Gen decided to remain in the village to train, and the Great Elder offered to help him expand his techniques and strengthen his foundation.

• The Great Elder warned Uchiha Gen that Konoha's leaders would distrust him if he awakened or showed potential for the Sharingan's greatest powers.
• Uchiha Gen recounted the Land of Rain battlefield events, and the Great Elder agreed that a hidden enemy coveted the Sharingan's ultimate power and had targeted talented young Uchiha.
• The Great Elder praised Uchiha Gen's survival against Chiyo and Kakuzu, then warned that his growing fame would make rival villages eager to eliminate him.
• Uchiha Gen said he planned to stay in the village and train his ocular techniques and the Phantom Body Flicker Technique Cheng had taught him.
• The Great Elder prioritized Sharingan genjutsu and offered to take Uchiha Gen to the Clan Vault for high-level Fire Release ninjutsu and advanced Uchiha Style Swordsmanship.

Uchiha Gen gathered Uchiha techniques, completed his second Body Modification, and returned to the eerie canyon to test how his enhanced body and the system-produced Ration Pill affected his progress. He reached the second gate in better condition than before and swallowed the High-Quality Ration Pill as the pressure intensified.

• Uchiha Gen received swordsmanship, Fire Release, and Sharingan genjutsu scrolls from the Great Elder, including four genjutsu he had not learned.
• Uchiha Gen collected the prepared medicinal ingredients from the Clan Vault and completed his second Body Modification that night.

• Uchiha Gen used the Reverse Summoning Technique to return to the eerie canyon and reached the second gate with less difficulty than before.
• Uchiha Gen swallowed the High-Quality Ration Pill, which rapidly restored Chakra and eased some of the sound-wave pressure and damage.

Uchiha Gen endured the Third Rashomon Gate’s intense Yin Release by using a body-wide healing method, then returned home injured after contracting it. He summoned Tsunade for medicine and help recovering, and she arrived to treat him.

• Uchiha Gen pushed through the canyon toward the Third Gate as Yin Release eroded his body and battered his mind.
• Uchiha Gen used a body-wide version of Yin Injury Annihilation to resist the Yin Release and keep moving.
