Chapter Summaries

Shinji developed a Karma prototype from the Yin Seal, but its first activation made a White Zetsu Clone explode. He realized Karma needed its creator’s personality information to help its host control Six Paths-level Chakra, edited that information into his Karma, and successfully activated it in another clone.

• Shinji learned the Yin Seal and built a Karma prototype, then injected it into a White Zetsu Clone.
• The clone exploded when Shinji made it activate Karma, leading him to conclude that the prototype lacked the creator’s personality information needed to control its power.
• Shinji compared Karma with Orochimaru’s Cursed Seal and reasoned that his Six Paths-level abilities let him edit Chakra without splitting his soul.
• Shinji developed a method to digitize his personality and imprinted it into Karma, turning its color from pale gray to black.
• Shinji injected the edited Karma into another White Zetsu Clone, whose markings spread across one side as its cellular activity and chakra levels surged.

Shinji tested whether Karma could raise a White Zetsu Clone to the Six Paths level, then helped Karin attempt to awaken a Six Tomoe Rinnegan through Unnamed’s Yachihoko. Karin succeeded, while Unnamed collapsed from exhaustion and Shinji caught her.

• Shinji sensed his own Chakra in the White Zetsu Clone after activating Karma, but realized the clone had not reached the Six Paths level.
• Karin asked Shinji to let her receive Unnamed’s Chakra assault, and he brought them to the Central Training Ground to try awakening a Six Tomoe Rinnegan.
• Unnamed used Yachihoko on Karin as Sasuke, Yakumo, Neji, Kimimaro, Ryūsetsuna, and Chiyo watched.
• Karin’s Rinnegan gained three Tomoe, and Shinji sent Yakumo to stabilize the airborne fortress as Unnamed’s assault shook it.
• Karin awakened a Six Tomoe Rinnegan, and Unnamed stopped the assault and collapsed from exhaustion.
• Shinji caught Unnamed and reassured her after she proudly told him she had succeeded.

Shinji supervised Karin’s Dojutsu enhancement with Nameless’s Yachihoko Chakra surge and learned that Karin had awakened the Six Tomoe Rinnegan. Karin revealed her new Tamatsukuri Spear Dojutsu, which could exchange her state with a target’s, though its limits remained unknown.

• Nameless used Yachihoko to boost Karin’s Dojutsu, and Karin emerged exhausted but without physical discomfort.
• Ryūsetsuna, Kimimaro, and Ido noticed Karin’s dramatic increase in power, while Sasuke asked to receive a Chakra surge.
• Shinji explained that Sasuke’s Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and Yakumo’s Red Dragon Eye were already at their peaks, leaving Sasuke to seek the Rinnegan through his own breakthrough.
• After the others left, Shinji asked Karin whether she had awakened a new Dojutsu, and she confirmed she had gained the Six Tomoe Rinnegan.
• Karin told Shinji that her Tamatsukuri Spear could lock onto a target and exchange their Dojutsu, Chakra levels, injuries, and other states.

Shinji tested Karin’s Tamatsukuri Spear and found that it could affect even Six Paths-level opponents, though its impact on him was limited while it fully restored Karin. After Shinji returned to developing Karma, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki completed his reincarnation in Nagato’s body and returned to the Shinobi World.

• Shinji and Karin fought on T33, where Shinji defeated her and explained the power gap between Six Paths-level fighters and those below.
• Karin used Tamatsukuri Spear on Shinji, causing disorientation and weakness while restoring her own Chakra and stamina.
• Shinji recovered quickly and concluded that Tamatsukuri Spear could affect Six Paths-level opponents, but its effects might be weakened by the difference in their power.
• Shinji told Karin to keep Tamatsukuri Spear secret and returned to his laboratory to focus on refining Karma so Karin might reach the Six Paths level.
• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki completed the reincarnation ritual in Nagato’s body, returned to his hidden chamber in the Shinobi World, and received congratulations from Amado.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki ordered Amado to activate the sealed artificial humans as he prepared to fight 'A' for the Ten-Tails. Meanwhile, Nameless attempted to awaken the Rinnegan, but Shinji entered her inner world after her Chakra became chaotic and found her imprisoned as a child.

• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki ordered Amado to activate the artificial humans he had sealed away, hoping to build combat strength for his fight against 'A'.
• Two weeks later, Nameless transferred Yachihoko to Shinji before beginning her Rinnegan awakening attempt.
• When Nameless's awakening made no progress and her Chakra turned chaotic, Shinji entered the central training field and connected to her inner world with Naobi.
• Shinji explored Nameless's dark underground prison and found a small girl locked in a cell.
• The girl looked at Shinji in confusion and asked, "Are you calling me?"

Shinji searched Nameless's mindscape for the memories she had lost as she began to lose herself. His memories helped her recover her identity, revealing that her name was Uchiha Hikari.

• Nameless forgot her name in her mindscape, and Shinji realized her damaged soul was causing her to lose herself.
• Shinji searched Nameless's sea of kiseki for the memories she had lost, but found that the brightest one contained her memories of him.
• As Nameless's mindscape shook, Shinji returned to her cell and tore apart the burning iron bars despite her warning.
• Shinji showed Nameless his kiseki and reminded her that their shared memories were real, clearing the confusion in her eyes.
• A broken kiseki emerged from Nameless and showed her parents naming her Uchiha Hikari.

• Tsunade and the others watched without intervening, while Jiraiya called the fight a test for Naruto.
• Menma formed his Great Spiraling Ring and warned Naruto that he would not hold back against Sasuke.

Menma’s Great Spiraling Ring struck Sasuke’s Wood Release, but Sasuke survived by awakening the Rinnegan and absorbing part of the attack. He left the battlefield after Naruto urged him to return to Konoha, while the assembled shinobi were left stunned by his new eyes.

• Menma hurled a Great Spiraling Ring at Sasuke, who countered with Wood Release as Naruto and the Konoha shinobi watched in alarm.
• The attack devastated Sasuke’s trees, but Naruto and Menma were unharmed, and Sasuke emerged with only minor injuries.
• Naruto and Menma noticed that Sasuke’s eyes had become the Rinnegan, and the arriving Konoha shinobi realized he had awakened it from his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
• Sasuke revealed that he had used the Rinnegan’s Seal Absorption to absorb part of the attack and dismissed the Rinnegan’s importance compared with Shinji’s power.
• Naruto urged Sasuke to return to Konoha, but Sasuke declined and left the battlefield after completing Shinji’s test.

Sasuke awakened the Rinnegan after fighting Naruto at the Valley of the End, then returned to Shinji for guidance while Shinji reconsidered the strength of Sasuke and Naruto’s inherited bloodlines. At Obito’s base, Obito and Zetsu discussed their defeat and the collapse of the Eye of the Moon Plan before an unknown figure arrived through a space-time portal.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki appeared before Obito and Zetsu and demanded their cooperation against 'A.' After subduing Obito, he set out to gather the Dark Dawn, beginning with Hiruko in his laboratory.

• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki revealed his identity to Obito and Zetsu and offered to help defeat 'A' in exchange for the Dark Dawn keeping 'A's subordinates occupied.
• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki struck Obito with a Black Rod, disrupting his Chakra, and Zetsu agreed to cooperate on the organization's behalf.
• Zetsu explained that the Dark Dawn's members were no longer under control, so Ōtsutsuki Isshiki traveled with Obito and Zetsu to Hiruko's laboratory.
• Hiruko rejected the order to serve Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and attacked him, but Ōtsutsuki Isshiki smashed his Susanoo and seized him by the throat.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki forced the Akatsuki Organization’s scattered members back together and assigned them missions to recruit allies and capture the Nine-Tails. Concerned about A’s strength, he considered seeking power beyond ordinary Kage Level combatants.

• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki defeated Hiruko and made him agree to serve, then subdued the other Akatsuki Organization members and reassembled the group.

• After leaving the secret base, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki thought about A and B’s strength and looked up at the moon.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki assembled Kara’s Inner Circle and traveled to the moon with Delta and Boro, where he encountered Toneri. After Toneri refused to join him, Isshiki and Toneri began fighting, each surprised by the other’s strength.

• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki gathered Kara’s Inner Circle and ordered Delta and Boro to accompany him to the moon while the others remained at the base.
• Toneri sensed the intruders, alerted the Flying Fortress through Yakumo’s Blood Clone, and went out to meet them in Tenseigan Chakra Mode.
• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki introduced himself as Toneri’s kinsman and invited him to help restore Otsutsuki rule over the Shinobi World.
• Toneri refused Isshiki’s offer, so Isshiki attacked and Toneri charged at him.
• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and Toneri realized they had underestimated each other and fought with all their strength as Delta and Boro watched.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki battled Otsutsuki Toneri on the moon, forcing Toneri to draw power from the Giant Tenseigan. As Shinji watched through the Naobi and gathered his allies, he chose to wait for a better chance to confront Isshiki.

• Otsutsuki Toneri summoned the Giant Tenseigan's Chakra and increased the pressure on Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

• Shinji tested Karma on a White Zetsu Clone, whose chakra surged toward Karin’s Six Paths-level output before its body disintegrated and exploded.
• Haku returned to the Flying Fortress and told Shinji that he had mastered Senjutsu, giving Shinji the chance to incorporate Natural Energy into Karma after mastering Senjutsu himself.

Shinji tested Haku’s self-developed Sage Mode and discovered it greatly enhanced his combat abilities while concealing him from sight and sensory perception. The spar ended with Shinji defeating Haku, but he praised the form’s potential against other shinobi.

• Shinji brought Haku to the central training ground and asked him to demonstrate his Sage Mode.
• Haku revealed that Ryūchi Cave had guided him in absorbing Natural Energy but had not taught him its Senjutsu, so he developed his own Sage Mode using the Breathing Technique.
• Shinji sparred with Haku and found that the misty Chakra Cloak hid Haku’s location and obscured his movements, even from Shinji’s perception.
• Shinji overpowered Haku with nearly half his strength and told him that his Sage Mode had exceeded expectations.
