Amado told Orochimaru about the mysterious Ōtsutsuki corpse and Ada’s ability to locate it, leading Orochimaru to pass the information to Shinji. The two then confronted the question of how an Ōtsutsuki with such immense power could have died.

• Amado told Orochimaru that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had reclaimed the corpse-related materials and sealed Ada and Daemon away.
• Amado explained that Ada’s Telescopic Eye could view scenes from the Shinobi World after her birth, so she could reveal where Ōtsutsuki Isshiki hid the corpse.

Shinji kept Ōtsutsuki Isshiki cornered, but Isshiki unleashed a massive Black Rod barrage on the ruined town, injuring and trapping many fighters. Amid the destruction, Black Zetsu and Obito decided to seize what they believed was their last chance to act.

• Shinji concealed his Limbo Clones inside Kamui Space, and Ada declared that he was the one she had chosen as her true love because he was unaffected by her charm.
• As Shinji pressed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, Isshiki panicked and launched a massive barrage of Black Rods at the ruined town below.

• Black Zetsu and Obito agreed that the battle gave them their last chance to act, and Black Zetsu told Obito to cover him.

As Shinji wore down Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, Black Zetsu betrayed Obito’s plan and ambushed Isshiki with Kaguya Otsutsuki’s chakra. Black Zetsu began restraining Isshiki, while Shinji and the others watched in surprise.

• Black Zetsu claimed Madara had left him a jutsu to restrain an enemy, and Obito agreed to cover him.
• Shinji kept attacking Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to protect the retreating forces and prevent Isshiki from fleeing before he could be captured alive.

• Black Zetsu appeared behind the fallen Isshiki, pierced his chest, and began spreading a black substance over him.
• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki recognized the substance as Kaguya Otsutsuki’s chakra, and Black Zetsu declared that he had finally found his chance.

• Shinji said he had known Isshiki would use his trump card.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki used the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion he had stored in Daikokuten to destroy Black Zetsu, then faced Shinji with his trump card spent. Hikari rescued Karin and Toneri from Isshiki’s alternate dimension and prepared to return to the battlefield with Toneri and his golden sword.

• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki unleashed Toneri’s stored Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion and erased Black Zetsu, then Shinji challenged the exhausted Isshiki to continue fighting.

• The Giant Tenseigan restored Toneri’s strength, and Karin told him that Shinji was fighting Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
• Hikari marked Toneri with Yachihoko and asked to borrow his golden sword before heading to the battlefield with him.

Shinji weakened Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, who tried to escape, but Uchiha Hikari froze the space and stopped him. Otsutsuki Toneri and Hikari joined Shinji on the battlefield, leaving Isshiki trapped and facing their golden swords.

• Shinji taunted Ōtsutsuki Isshiki after Black Zetsu's attack drained more of his Chakra, and Isshiki decided to retreat and seek help from other Otsutsuki.

• Otsutsuki Toneri appeared in a Red Cloud outfit and mask, and Amado realized that Toneri had been working with 'A'.
• Uchiha Hikari explained that her dojutsu, 'Heavenly Rock Door', had frozen the Space Gate, while Toneri apologized to Shinji and prepared to fight Isshiki.
• Otsutsuki Toneri and Uchiha Hikari each formed a dazzling golden sword, leaving Ōtsutsuki Isshiki trapped in the crater.

With Isshiki cornered by A, Toneri, and Hikari, he tried to escape by placing his Karma on Ada, but Daemon intercepted him and proved stronger in close combat. Isshiki was left shocked after Daemon punched him away.

• Isshiki attacked Ada with shrunken Black Rods, but Daemon caught them before they could hit her.
• Isshiki fought Daemon at close range, but Daemon sent him flying with a punch.

Shinji coordinated Toneri and Hikari’s attack to defeat Ōtsutsuki Isshiki with two Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosions. He found Isshiki gravely injured in the crater and sealed and restrained him, though he could not guarantee the imprisonment would last forever.

• Ada dragged Daemon away as Shinji used Imperial God Palace to restrain Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and signaled Toneri and Hikari to attack.
• Shinji activated his Nine Tomoe Rinnegan to time the release of Imperial God Palace so Toneri and Hikari’s Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosions struck Isshiki before he could react.
• The combined explosions obliterated the town ruins and left an enormous crater, while Tsunade and the other observers could neither see nor sense the battlefield clearly.
• Shinji descended into the crater and found Ōtsutsuki Isshiki missing one arm and both legs, too weakened to recover.
• Shinji bound Isshiki with an Eight Trigrams Seal and pierced him with Black Rods to keep him imprisoned in the short term.

• Shinji sealed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki in a scroll, checked the battlefield for signs of escape, and decided to avoid confronting Ada and Daemon until he had gained Isshiki’s powers.

• Tsunade and Jiraiya arrived, found Naruto unharmed, and approached Ada and Daemon; Ada’s Charm ensnared Jiraiya, who invited the siblings to Konoha.
• Orochimaru received Shinji’s instructions through Naobi and invited Amado to join them.

Amado considered Orochimaru’s invitation to join “A,” while Shinji secured the Flying Fortress after defeating Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. The chapter ended with Shinji releasing the captured Isshiki and gouging out his black eye.

• Amado asked who Orochimaru represented, learned that “A” was inviting him, and requested time to settle Ada and Daemon before deciding.
• Shinji activated the Flying Fortress’s barriers and ordered Neji and Kimimaro to confine the captured Hiruko and Ranmaru.

• Shinji told Shion to look after the juvenile Ten-Tails and then handled the battle’s aftermath.
• After recovering in the central training ground, Shinji released Ōtsutsuki Isshiki from a Sealing Scroll and gouged out his black eye.

Shinji gouged out Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s eye and used Susanoo Lamp to control its powerful Dojutsu, gaining access to Sukuna Hiko Na and Daikokuten. He retrieved a mysterious Otsutsuki corpse and research materials from Daikokuten, then learned through genjutsu that the corpse belonged to Ōtsutsuki Shibai.

• Shinji gouged out Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s Black Eye despite Isshiki warning that transplanting it would cause interference.
• Shinji used Susanoo Lamp to control the Black Eye, greatly amplifying his Dojutsu power, and tested Sukuna Hiko Na on a training-ground target.
• Shinji activated Daikokuten and discovered the motionless space contained supplies, a mysterious Otsutsuki corpse, research data, and cultivation vessels.
• Shinji removed the corpse and research materials from Daikokuten, then interrogated Ōtsutsuki Isshiki with genjutsu.
• Shinji identified the corpse as Ōtsutsuki Shibai.

Shinji examined Amado’s records on Otsutsuki Shibai and learned that Shibai’s Byakugan may have been the source of other dōjutsu. He took Isshiki’s remaining eye and drained Isshiki’s Chakra to evolve it into a Black Eye, leaving Isshiki unconscious.

• Shinji studied Amado’s research on Shibai and considered whether Shibai had been killed or shed his body to enter a higher dimension.
• Shinji examined Shibai’s corpse and found Byakugan in its eye sockets, then reasoned that other dōjutsu might have evolved from the Byakugan.
• Isshiki broke free of Shinji’s genjutsu and warned that the Otsutsuki would return, but Shinji said he planned to sacrifice Isshiki to the Divine Tree.
• Shinji plucked out Isshiki’s remaining Byakugan and explained that he wanted to evolve it into a Black Eye.
• Isshiki regenerated weak Byakugan, but Shinji drained his Chakra into the eye he had taken, evolving it into a Black Eye and making Isshiki lose consciousness.

Shinji evolved Isshiki’s Byakugan into a second “Black Eye” and found that wielding the pair greatly strengthened Daikokuten and Sukuna Hiko Na while boosting his Dojutsu. He chose most of the eyes he planned to wield with Susanoo Lamp, but still had to decide what to put in the final socket pair.

• Shinji used Yachihoko to channel Isshiki’s Chakra into Isshiki’s Byakugan and evolved it into a “Black Eye.”
• Shinji wielded both “Black Eyes” with Susanoo Lamp and found that they nearly doubled the Dojutsu boost, strengthened their abilities, and reduced their Chakra consumption.
• Shinji reviewed his collection of high-level eyes and decided that the “Black Eyes” and a pair of “Tenseigan” were essential choices.
• Shinji considered his remaining options and chose to wield a pair of “Six Tomoe Rinnegan” and Obito’s Mangekyō Sharingan for its Kamui ability.
• Shinji left one pair of Susanoo Lamp’s sockets undecided, weighing Hiruko’s Mangekyō Sharingan, Yakumo’s “Red Dragon Eyes,” and Ranmaru’s “Super Red Eyes.”
