Chapter Summaries

Kakashi sought a way to stop Obito escaping from Kamui Space and visited Orochimaru for help. Orochimaru gave him a bottle of chili water that could incapacitate Uchiha by making them unable to open their eyes.

• Ino and Choji argued over whose clan won a fable, and Kakashi stopped them from spreading their conflicting versions.
• Kakashi considered using sleeping gas against Obito, then thought about testing its effects on Yamato before deciding to seek Orochimaru's help.
• Kakashi traveled to Amegakure and asked Orochimaru for a way to counter Obito's Sharingan.
• Orochimaru gave Kakashi a spray bottle of concentrated chili water and explained that it created a mist that made Uchiha unable to open their eyes.
• Kakashi realized the Uchiha-targeting ninjutsu was simply chili water, which could affect his own Sharingan as well.

Kakashi tried Curry of Life in Amegakure to test its effects, but it left him with swollen sausage-like lips. Meanwhile, Ōnoki returned to find Madara caught in Genjutsu, and Danzo remained pursued by the group.

• Orochimaru warned Kakashi not to use his special Curry of Life spray on himself, so Kakashi traveled to Amegakure and ordered the restaurant’s spiciest curry rice.
• Nohara Rin and Yakushi Nonō discussed making the Masked Man believe Rin had cared for him, while Sasuke returned to Amegakure and hid to see Kakashi’s face.
• Kakashi stumbled out of the restaurant crying from the curry’s heat, and Rin removed his mask to treat his swollen lips as Sasuke watched.
• Kakashi accepted painkillers from Rin, who turned away after her carefully maintained illusion of him had been shattered.
• The group pursued Danzo, disguised as Hiruzen Sarutobi, for a day and a night, while Ōnoki returned to watch over Madara Uchiha.
• Ōnoki found Madara laughing vacantly under Genjutsu and feared that Orochimaru might someday use Impure World Reincarnation on him.

Madara realized Obito had used a genjutsu to extract his secrets, including how to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki and cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi. He told Ōnoki who was behind it, but Ōnoki did not recognize Obito.

• Ōnoki dispelled the genjutsu on Madara, who realized he had been trapped in a vision of his ambitions fulfilled.
• Madara deduced that Obito had used the genjutsu to steal secrets from him and decided to change his plans.
• Ōnoki inspected Madara and concluded that someone had likely extracted information rather than attacked him.
• Madara told Ōnoki that his former representative, Uchiha Obito, had turned against him.
• Ōnoki failed to recognize Obito even after Madara explained that Iwagakure had nearly crushed him during the Third Shinobi World War.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was caught while disguised as Danzo after Grandma Chiyo resisted her captors, and the group discovered his identity. They shared information about Madara Uchiha’s plan and argued over where Grandma Chiyo should stay.

• Grandma Chiyo released poison while being carried by Hiruzen Sarutobi disguised as Danzo, and Jiraiya accidentally inhaled it before a summoned toad removed the poison.
• Grandma Chiyo tripped Hiruzen Sarutobi with chakra threads, and Hozuki Gengetsu and Rōshi caught and exposed him.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi used Shadow Clones to explain himself, and the group shared intelligence about stopping Madara Uchiha.
• Grandma Chiyo revealed that Life Transfer Technique and Rinne Rebirth could revive someone before triggering later revivals.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi and Rōshi each urged Grandma Chiyo to hide in their village under their protection, leaving Hozuki Gengetsu baffled by their rivalry.

Jiraiya argued that Kumogakure’s absence meant the Raikage truly loved Grandma Chiyo, inventing an elaborate explanation based on the name of his technique. He claimed Ōnoki shared that love and that the Raikage planned to take revenge on him for the Third Raikage’s death.

• Jiraiya objected to guarding Grandma Chiyo and proposed sending her to Kumogakure instead.
• Jiraiya argued that the villages that did not attend were the ones that truly admired Grandma Chiyo, citing the Raikage’s Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop.
• Jiraiya claimed that “Horizontal” referred to Ōnoki and that Ōnoki had withdrawn to protect his pure love for Grandma Chiyo.
• Jiraiya said the Raikage’s technique was motivated by a grudge against Ōnoki over the Third Raikage’s death, and described it as a plan to steal Ōnoki’s beloved.

Grandma Chiyo chose to visit Kirigakure’s beaches to study tourism for Sunagakure, and Hozuki Gengetsu reluctantly agreed to host her. Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Rōshi ran into Ōnoki and Madara Uchiha, and Hiruzen claimed Chiyo had lost her memory to explain why she was being taken to the Land of Water.

• Grandma Chiyo rejected the others’ attempts to choose her destination and decided to visit Kirigakure’s seaside resorts to learn how Sunagakure could develop tourism.
• Hozuki Gengetsu reluctantly accepted responsibility for Grandma Chiyo, while Jiraiya stayed behind and Hiruzen Sarutobi and Rōshi went to fetch the Flying Thunder Array Squad.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi and Rōshi encountered Ōnoki and Madara Uchiha as they arrived at the squad’s location.
• Rōshi accused Ōnoki of plotting with Madara, and Ōnoki demanded to know what had happened to Grandma Chiyo and Danzo.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi claimed that he had rescued Grandma Chiyo from Danzo but that she had lost her memory, so they planned to take her to a Land of Water resort to recover.

Ōnoki and Madara learned that Grandma Chiyo had lost her memory, jeopardizing Madara’s plan to use the Life Transfer Technique. Meanwhile, Obito woke in a hidden chamber, and Rin prepared to confront him about the choices that made him an enemy of the world.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi told Madara that Grandma Chiyo’s memory loss could not safely be treated, leaving Madara’s resurrection plan in doubt.
• Rōshi and Hiruzen insulted Ōnoki after he smiled at the news, and Ōnoki urged everyone to hurry before Obito’s plan succeeded.
• Ōnoki and Madara traveled to Amegakure, while Hiruzen and Rōshi arranged to take Grandma Chiyo to Kirigakure.
• Konan’s monitoring system detected Obito waking in a concealed stone chamber, and she sent Rin and the others to meet him.
• Rin explained that Obito had blamed the turbulent age for his actions, while Hanabi asked why he had helped Madara instead of Konoha.

Rin explained that Obito had been fitted with a deadly Scorch Release prison and that his victims had granted him one chance. Obito learned Rin had examined his body and, devastated by the humiliation she had witnessed, broke down in tears.

• Rin explained that Madara had treated Obito as a tool, while Konoha and his former allies had treated him as a person.
• Rin revealed that she and Pakura had replaced the planned Heavenly Prison with a Scorch Release technique that could burn Obito from within if he tried to escape.
• Rin said she and Kakashi had a duty to stop Obito, but that his victims—not they—had granted him one chance.
• Obito realized Rin had personally examined his body and knew what had been done to him, and he wept in despair.
• Shirozumi watched Obito's readings and concluded that the shattered Obito would be unlikely to continue pursuing the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Shirozumi and Konan prepared to reveal the truth about Infinite Tsukuyomi to a devastated Obito, who tried to hide that he had been crying. They discussed how the technique could not truly fulfill anyone’s dreams, while Obito overheard from the stone bed.

• Obito broke down over Rin’s return and feared Konan would torment him, but Madara’s Cursed Seal and Scorch Release: Heavenly Prison left him unable to use Chakra or kill himself.
• Shirozumi and Konan went to Obito’s cave to tell him the truth about Infinite Tsukuyomi while he was vulnerable.
• Obito pretended to be unconscious and turned over to hide the tears covering the stone bed.
• A medical ninja reported that Obito was unconscious and had wet the bed, prompting Konan to send for Rin to clean it up.
• Shirozumi explained to Konan that Infinite Tsukuyomi centered on absorbing Chakra and using Genjutsu for crowd control, so it could not fundamentally fulfill people’s dreams.

Shirozumi and Konan discussed how Infinite Tsukuyomi trapped and drained its targets rather than granting perfect dreams, leaving Obito troubled by what a dream of Rin might contain. The next day, Shirozumi and Deidara mocked Obito’s plan to create a world with Rin, and Obito found their reasoning disturbingly convincing.

• Shirozumi explained to Konan that Infinite Tsukuyomi continuously trapped its targets and most likely gave them imperfect dreams to keep their Chakra flowing.
• Shirozumi cited Karin, Yamato, and Tenten’s dreams as evidence that Infinite Tsukuyomi could not simply fulfill its targets’ wishes.
• After overhearing them, Obito worried that the Rin in his imagined Infinite Tsukuyomi world might know how tasteless he was.
• Obito discovered a puddle near his head and realized he had wet himself while his mind was in turmoil.
• The next day, Shirozumi and Deidara joked that Obito wanted to create a world with Rin for Kakashi or even for everyone.
• Obito listened from inside the room and found their mockery made unsettling sense.

Obito tried to hide from the consequences of his actions by pretending to remain unconscious, but Konan revealed that his captors knew he was awake. As the Akatsuki’s murdered founders were brought back to confront him, Madara headed for Obito’s prison to take some of his power.

• Obito continued pretending to be unconscious while questioning his faith in Infinite Tsukuyomi and analyzing why his captors had not tried to wake him.
• Konan told Obito she knew he had been awake for two days and warned that people were coming to see him.
• Obito woke in alarm, fearing Konan would expose his helpless condition to Rin, Kakashi, and his former classmates.
• Konan had instead invited the resurrected founding members of the Akatsuki, whom Obito had killed, to visit the place where he was imprisoned.
• Madara sensed Obito’s location through a Formula and went to the prison, intending to take some of Obito’s power.

Madara Uchiha infiltrated Obito's prison and began extracting his Hashirama Cells to restore his strength. Obito woke in pain and realized Madara was the one attacking him.

• Madara sensed Obito's location and reasoned that Amegakure had restricted Obito's Chakra.
• Madara entered the paper-hidden prison, finding no guards and Obito alone on a stone bed.
• Madara touched Obito and confirmed his Chakra had been restricted, then chose to take his Hashirama Cells before his Sharingan.
• Obito mistook Madara's touch for Rin's and fantasized about her affection.
• Madara plunged his hands into Obito's waist, and Obito woke to Madara telling him to repay the debt for saving his life.

Madara tried to take Hashirama Cells from the captured Obito, but Obito discovered Madara’s frail body could feel pain and fought back. Madara then tried to provoke Obito into revealing his attachment to Rin, but Obito denied wanting the Infinite Tsukuyomi for himself and claimed he wanted Rin to be with other people.

• Madara prepared to take Hashirama Cells from Obito, explaining that his Impure World Reincarnation body was too frail to regain his strength.
• Obito twisted free, tore Madara’s hands apart, and punched him, then realized Madara’s body could regenerate despite feeling pain.
• Madara warned Obito that he could not kill an immortal Impure World Reincarnation body, while Obito conserved his strength and targeted Madara below the belt.
• Madara mocked Obito about his removed reproductive organs and claimed that Nohara Rin had been revived in Amegakure, trying to shake his resolve.
• Obito denied wanting the Infinite Tsukuyomi for himself and claimed he wanted to create a world where Rin could be with other people.

Obito drove Madara out of his room by threatening him with a humiliating offer, forcing Madara to abandon his attempt to regain strength. As Madara searched the cave for Hashirama Cells, the original Akatsuki members entered to find the person who killed them.

• Obito realized Madara could not be worn down by pain and threatened to make him feel good, causing Madara to give up and leave Obito's room.
• Madara headed through the cave to search for Hashirama Cells, then saw sunlight at the torn-open entrance and stood still, pretending to be dead.
• Jihui stayed outside while the original Akatsuki members entered the cave to take revenge on the person who killed them.
• Idaten Kyuusuke suggested that the group split up to search, and Great Buddha worried that their enemy could defeat them one by one.

Kyuusuke and the other Akatsuki members found Madara Uchiha, whose abilities had been restricted, and mistook his weakness for a gift from Konan. They carried him deeper inside, while Obito hid behind his stone bed.

• Kyuusuke led the group to search for their target, and they encountered Madara Uchiha at a fork in the road.
• Madara introduced himself and began asking the group for help, but they hoisted him up and stretched his legs apart.
• Kyuusuke sensed Madara's weak Chakra and realized his powers had been restricted.
• Madara threatened the group by invoking their friends and family, but Kyuusuke laughed and credited Konan with restraining him.
• The group carried Madara farther inside, and Obito hid behind his stone bed after hearing them approach.

The original Akatsuki Organization members captured Madara, who insisted that Obito had stolen his name and escaped. Information gathered by Jihui revealed there were two Madara Uchihas, and the chapter ended with the group deciding to punish the captured Madara for his interest in Grandma Chiyo.

• The original Akatsuki Organization members pinned Madara to a stone bed while he claimed Obito was the real enemy and had vanished using Kamui.
• The group sent Jihui to investigate Madara's claims and waited without harming him.
• Jihui returned with a Scroll stating that one Madara pursued Grandma Chiyo while another used spinning turds to attack people and take revenge on Konoha.
• Madara admitted he was the Madara who pursued Grandma Chiyo, and the group accused him of being a pervert and attacked him with Lightning Release.
• The group began reading the Scroll's further information about Uchiha Obito.

The Akatsuki founders misread intelligence about Uchiha Obito and concluded that both the hidden Obito and Madara Uchiha were the same scheming, perverted man. Madara tried to deny it, but the group prepared to punish him using Kakashi's books as evidence.

• Jiuzhu claimed young Obito had pretended to help animals and elderly women, and accused him of secretly being a perverted furry freak.
• Jiuzhu used Kakashi's later behavior and writings to argue that Obito must have been even sleazier, enraging the Obito hiding beneath the stone bed.
• The Akatsuki founders confronted Madara Uchiha, mistaking him for Obito and declaring that they had exposed his disguise.
• Madara insisted he was not Uchiha Obito, but the founders called for everyone to seize him and bring out Kakashi's books to intensify his punishment.

Madara Uchiha was tortured by the founding members of the Akatsuki Organization, who believed he was responsible for their suffering. He sensed Uchiha Obito hiding nearby, and Obito was exposed when the group spotted him beneath the stone bed.

• Madara Uchiha suspected Tobirama Senju had manipulated the intelligence against him, but accepted the group’s revenge to take responsibility for saving Uchiha Obito.
• Jiuzhu dismissed Madara’s righteous defense, and the group began torturing him with steel wires based on Konoha Interrogation Department methods.
• Madara Uchiha endured the torture while the group accused him of Uchiha Obito’s crimes, and Obito hid beneath a stone bed nearby.
• Madara Uchiha used his remaining Chakra to sense the technique on Obito’s heart and realized Obito was close by.
• The founding members of the Akatsuki Organization spotted Obito beneath the bed, and Obito pretended not to know them.

Jiuzhu and the original Akatsuki members realized that the masked enemy was Uchiha Obito, not Madara Uchiha, and freed the real Madara. The chapter left Obito pinned on a stone bed, but his captors discovered he had already been cleaned too thoroughly to punish.

• Obito tried to keep impersonating Madara, but Jiuzhu recognized him as the crippled man who had ambushed the original Akatsuki.
• Madara insisted he was the real Madara Uchiha, and the Akatsuki members accepted that Obito was their enemy.
• The Akatsuki members pulled the steel wires from Madara and made room to punish Obito.
• Jiuzhu ordered the others to hold Obito down, but they explained that he had been fanned too clean to punish.

Jiuzhu and the Akatsuki founding members struggled to find a way to punish the naked Obito without killing him, until Madara found another method in the Scroll. Jiu Jie returned with information about Obito and Kakashi’s scat fights and produce from helpful Amegakure villagers, leaving the group with an assortment of possible tools and no clear plan.

• Jiuzhu and the others found that pain did little to affect Obito, whose dulled pain sense made ordinary injuries ineffective.
• Madara read the Scroll and pointed Jiuzhu to a method that targeted Obito’s uncovered lower body, though the group recoiled at trying it.
• Obito tried to blame Madara and the era of chaos for his actions, further angering the group.
• Jiu Jie returned with a report that Obito and Kakashi had fought with poop several times and brought a bag of produce from Amegakure villagers.
• Jiuzhu admired the fresh fruits and vegetables but lamented that their Impure World Reincarnation bodies could not enjoy them.
