• Bai Mo and Konan decide not to interfere further. Bai Mo’s mercy allows Mabui to use the Heavenly Transfer Technique to teleport Killer B back to Kumogakure for treatment.

• The Raikage encounters Killer B, who has lost the Eight-Tails and is too weak to escape. Believing it is his duty to serve his brother and replenish the Raikage’s “empty heart,” Killer B gives up resisting.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Shirozumi, Konan, and Uchiha Hikari arrive at Takigakure and discover that the village’s waterfall is made of Yin Female Water, a substance that drains chakra and alters people’s bodies:
  • Men become effeminate and lose their masculine traits.
  • Women become tomboyish, lose their female hormones, and become flat-chested with androgynous voices.
• Shirozumi reveals that he already knew the water’s effects because he used his epitaph to foresee what would happen if he entered it. He realizes the waterfall serves as Takigakure’s primary defense, allowing the village to protect the Seven-Tails despite being outside the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

• The group finds Kaede, the Seven-Tails’ jinchūriki, living alone in a cave. She is starving, socially withdrawn, and eager to have the Seven-Tails extracted from her.

• Kaede accepts that extracting the Seven-Tails will kill her, believing that bathing in the holy water during the procedure will protect her from death.

• Kaede is portrayed as an introverted, anxious, and extremely timid version of herself. Despite her fear and isolation, she willingly accepts death to escape the Seven-Tails’ demands.

• Identity and bodily transformation: The holy water produces exaggerated physical and social changes, creating much of the chapter’s humor while highlighting the characters’ sensitivity about gender and appearance.
• Escape from oppression: Kaede views the extraction of the Seven-Tails as liberation from its disturbing demands, even though it will cost her life.

Chapter Summary: Mirage Memories

Key Plot Points and Events

• Konan explains that the Akatsuki concluded the mysterious masked man was not the real Madara Uchiha. Their judgment was based not on his strength, but on his personality and behavior: the masked man manipulated Nagato from the shadows instead of openly imposing his will, which did not resemble the arrogant and direct Madara.
• Mei recalls that Yagura’s residence contained an alternate record of Ninja World history. This account may have been left by the real Madara and contradicted the official version of several events.

  • Madara hypnotized the Nine-Tails and left it outside Konoha while challenging Hashirama.
  • Tobirama used the Flying Thunder God to steal the defenseless Nine-Tails.

• Konan, Mei, Bai Mo, and Uchiha Hikari travel through the Land of Water in search of the Three-Tails. Mei realizes they may be entering the territory of Shin, the Second Mizukage’s summoning beast.

• The group is immediately caught in one of Shin’s mirages. They witness a distorted version of Obito’s apparent death beneath the rocks:
  • Obito gives Kakashi his Sharingan.
  • Kakashi removes Obito’s goggles, seemingly as a keepsake.
  • In a ridiculous twist, Kakashi also jokes about helping Obito have descendants through Orochimaru’s artificial insemination technology.
• The mirage continues with Madara rescuing Obito. Obito later learns that Kakashi and Rin are being pursued by Kirigakure ninja, whose behavior is absurdly altered by the illusion: instead of killing them, they increase their affection through exaggerated kindness and “pink water.”
