Ch. 321The Chunin Exams Officially Ended

Chapter 320: “Official End” — Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • The Chunin Exams conclude, and the leaders of the major hidden villages gather in Konoha for a final conference.
  • Toneri, newly empowered by the Rinnegan, Sage Mode, Six Paths chakra, and Truth-Seeking Orbs, adopts a far more confident and forceful attitude. He no longer believes the future Naruto and Sasuke must be relied upon to defeat threats such as Madara or Kaguya, especially since their lives have already diverged greatly from the original timeline.
  • Toneri begins restructuring the political balance of the Shinobi World, starting with villages currently aligned with or opposed to Konoha.
  • Fourth Mizukage Yagura announces that Kirigakure wants to end its war with Konoha and sign a mutual-defense treaty. Toneri immediately accepts, effectively placing Konoha and Kirigakure on the same side militarily.
  • Fourth Kazekage Rasa then declares that Sunagakure also wishes to sign a mutual-defense treaty with Konoha. This shocks the assembled leaders and further isolates Kumogakure.
  • Kumogakure’s representative, Dodai, attempts to justify Kumo’s hostility by accusing Konoha of stealing the Two-Tails. Toneri counters that the previous Jinchūriki chose to seal the Two-Tails inside him, meaning Konoha did not actually steal it.
  • Toneri also condemns Kumogakure for the historical betrayal involving the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, who was killed after going to Kumo to negotiate an alliance.
  • Kitsuchi supports Toneri’s account, revealing that the Third Raikage’s hostility toward Konoha was motivated by fear of Konoha’s growing power, not the Two-Tails dispute.
  • The argument escalates when Dodai accuses Iwagakure of betraying Kumogakure in the past. Kitsuchi responds aggressively, but both sides ultimately refrain from fighting.
  • Dodai asks what Toneri wants from Kumogakure. Rather than demanding wealth or territory, Toneri requires only a promise that the Fourth Raikage will help him confront a future “common enemy” of the Shinobi World and will not reject such a request when the time comes.
  • Dodai accepts the condition on behalf of the Raikage, since Kumogakure retains the option to decide whether a future enemy qualifies as a shared threat.
  • Shikaku presents prepared alliance and cooperation contracts, which the village leaders sign.
  • With the agreements finalized and the leaders departing, the Third Shinobi World War officially comes to an end.

Character Developments

  • Toneri undergoes a major shift from cautious strategist to openly dominant leader. His newly acquired power convinces him that he can personally handle future global threats rather than depending on Naruto and Sasuke.
  • He also recognizes that his presence has radically altered the timeline: Naruto is now a girl with a different family life, and Sasuke is unlikely to suffer the Uchiha massacre because of Danzo’s death and Itachi’s relationship with Toneri.
  • Yagura publicly presents Kirigakure as willing to cooperate with Konoha, though he remains secretly under Toneri’s control.
  • Rasa demonstrates Sunagakure’s willingness to align itself with Konoha, helping Toneri consolidate political and military influence.
  • Dodai shifts from defending Kumogakure’s position to negotiating pragmatically once he realizes Kumo is becoming isolated.
  • Kitsuchi strongly defends Iwagakure and openly challenges Dodai, showing his hostility toward Kumogakure and his willingness to support Konoha’s narrative.
  • Toneri and Shikaku’s cooperation shows that Toneri has already planned the diplomatic outcome in advance.

Significant Themes

  • Power and responsibility: Toneri’s immense new strength changes his view of his role. He decides that possessing power means he should personally protect the world.
  • Altered destiny: The chapter emphasizes how Toneri’s existence has disrupted the original fates of Naruto, Sasuke, Itachi, and the Uchiha clan.
  • Political consolidation: Rather than conquering the villages outright, Toneri uses treaties, pressure, and diplomacy to bring them under Konoha’s influence.
  • The end of old conflicts: Historical betrayals and wartime grievances are brought forward, but the chapter ultimately moves the villages toward cooperation.
  • Preparation for a future threat: Toneri seeks alliances against a possible enemy such as Madara or Kaguya, even though he cannot confirm that the threat will appear.
