Chapter Summaries

Shinji resisted a mind-affecting swarm by using genjutsu to control himself, then unleashed Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion against the insects. Meanwhile, the mage corps investigating the Sky Dome Mountain Range witnessed a glowing figure amid black flames and believed it was a God.

• The swarm's mental interference overwhelmed Shinji's thoughts, and he realized the noise was made up of his own inner voices rather than contamination.

Shinji fought the Overlord’s immense insect swarm for nearly three days, eventually gaining the upper hand and driving away the mage corps that approached the battlefield. The witnesses declared him a god and founded the Sky Dome Cult in his name.

• Shinji fought the Overlord and its swarm for nearly three days, destroying many insects with his Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion despite exhausting his Chakra.
• Shinji broke the swarm’s mind-controlling ability with genjutsu, and their battle devastated the Sky Dome Mountain Range.
• Adventurers who entered or watched the battle were killed by its shockwaves or returned to Giant Rock City deranged by the Overlord’s corruption.
• Shinji used Banshō Ten'in and Amaterasu to burn the weakened swarm, then repelled the approaching Black Domain Mage Corps airship without harming its passengers.
• The Black Domain, Temple, and Fire God Mage Corps declared that they had witnessed a god, and their accounts spread news of Shinji’s appearance across nearby nations.

After destroying the swarm and driving off the Bewitching Overlord, Shinji assessed the damage to World 5 and learned that the world had only seven days left before destruction. He recorded the Overlord’s abilities and realized he would need to leave World 5 several days before its barrier collapsed.

• Shinji regained control of his body after the battle and found that the mental noise remained, though it had weakened, while his body was exhausted.
• Shinji surveyed the ruined Sky Dome Mountain Range and found that the battle had severely destabilized World 5’s spatial barrier.
• Shinji ordered Little Round to rescan World 5, and Little Round reported that the world would be destroyed in about seven days.
• Shinji identified the Overlord’s mental bewitchment, named it the Bewitching Overlord, and had Little Round record its abilities and countermeasures.
• Shinji noticed that his pollution of World 5 had intensified, likely because of the airships, and concluded that he had only a few days before he needed to leave.

With World 5 nearing collapse, Shinji evacuated its Divine Trees, purified them in World 3, and found their energy reserves had reached fifty percent. Back in the Shinobi World, he reviewed Yamada Juichi’s Otsutsukification results and ordered Amado to begin the sixth ritual.

• Little Round told Shinji that World 5’s spatial barrier was eighty-three percent damaged and would collapse within forty-eight hours, so Shinji stored his own Divine Tree and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s matured Divine Tree before leaving.
• Shinji traveled to World 3, purified both Divine Trees and himself with his “Lamp,” and discovered that each tree had stored fifty percent of the energy needed to nurture Chakra Fruits.
• Shinji returned to the Shinobi World and asked Amado about Yamada Juichi, who had completed Otsutsukification but had not awakened a known divine technique.
• Amado explained that the Research Institute could not determine whether every successful ritual subject could awaken a divine technique, and Shinji dismissed the uncertainty.
• Shinji asked when the sixth ritual would begin, and Amado said the Research Institute had enough funding and bounty hunters to prepare it immediately.
• Shinji ordered Amado to begin the sixth ritual, and Amado agreed to arrange it.

Orochimaru prepared a second ceremony while worrying that Yamada Juichi had concealed his awakening of a divine technique. After deciding to absorb Yamada Juichi’s power before the Research Institute uncovered it, Orochimaru took charge of Yamada’s upcoming Taijutsu test against Daemon.

• Kabuto Yakushi told Orochimaru that improved cell transplantation technology had raised the success rate for producing ceremony sacrifices, though the latest batch had drawn bounty hunters’ attention.
• Orochimaru ordered Kabuto to arrange the second ceremony quickly and admitted he suspected Yamada Juichi had hidden an awakening from the Research Institute.
• Orochimaru recalled that his divine technique, Absorption, had reacted faintly to Yamada Juichi during a sparring match, convincing him that Yamada had awakened a divine technique.
• Orochimaru went to the Research Institute’s testing grounds and learned that Daemon was scheduled to spar with Yamada Juichi.
• Orochimaru volunteered to oversee the Taijutsu test, intending to act before Amado exposed Yamada’s secret.

Orochimaru used a Taijutsu test as an opportunity to draw Yamada Juichi away from the Research Institute’s cameras, hoping to absorb his Divine Technique. Instead, Yamada Juichi’s overwhelming physical strength turned the test into a real fight, leaving Orochimaru badly injured in the mountains.

• Orochimaru began a Taijutsu test with Yamada Juichi while researchers watched from the testing field.

• Yamada Juichi pursued Orochimaru, and their fight caused explosions and a mountain to collapse.
• Orochimaru spat blood among the rubble and realized that Yamada Juichi’s sheer physical strength surpassed his own.

Orochimaru fought Yamada Juichi across the mountains and gradually gained the upper hand, while his Divine Technique, Absorption, reacted strangely to Yamada Juichi. The chapter ended with Orochimaru pinning Yamada Juichi and activating Absorption.

• Yamada Juichi claimed his overwhelming strength came from his own power and resumed fighting Orochimaru, who switched to using speed and experience to avoid direct clashes.
• Orochimaru sensed that Absorption reacted differently to Yamada Juichi than it had to Owl and Genyumaru, and wondered whether Yamada Juichi had not fully awakened.
• At the Research Institute, Amado learned that Orochimaru and Yamada Juichi had fought their way into the mountains, and he declined to use the cursed technique to control Yamada Juichi.
• Amado, Tsunade, Scorpion, and other researchers watched from an airship as the battle reduced the mountains to rubble and Orochimaru's advantage grew.
• Orochimaru defeated Yamada Juichi, lifted him by the throat, and secretly activated Absorption.

• After finishing the absorption, Orochimaru punched Yamada Juichi in the heart, leaving him unconscious.

Orochimaru knocked out Yamada Juichi and secretly absorbed his Great Strength divine technique, which he mastered a few days later. Kabuto Yakushi then told him that an unauthorized ritual backed by the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning had caused a deadly disaster, prompting the Research Institute to plan a purge and internal audit.

• Orochimaru knocked out Yamada Juichi, and the medical team took him away after Tsunade confirmed his injuries were serious but not likely fatal.
• Orochimaru revealed that he had absorbed Yamada Juichi's Great Strength divine technique and mastered it, adding it to his Absorption and Claw Mark abilities.
• Orochimaru assessed his increased strength but remained unsure he could defeat Shinji Uchiha.
• Kabuto Yakushi told Orochimaru that a bribed research team leader had secretly prepared a ritual for the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, but the test subject went berserk and caused many casualties.
• Kabuto Yakushi said the Research Institute planned to purge the Daimyo's faction, install a collateral branch, and conduct an internal audit that could affect Orochimaru's rituals.

Orochimaru tried to protect his position as the Research Institute conducted a sweeping audit and crackdown, while Shinji focused on the Artificial Otsutsuki Plan and watched World No. 3 collapse under the Bewitching Overlord’s corruption. The chapter left Shinji facing a fleeing insect swarm on the horizon.

• Orochimaru ordered Kabuto Yakushi to clean up loose ends and prepared to attack Ada and Daemon if his secrets came to light.
• The Research Institute uncovered widespread misconduct, punished dozens of personnel, and cracked down on powers that had tried to corrupt or bribe its staff.

• Shinji observed that the Bewitching Overlord’s corruption had plunged World No. 3 into disasters and that the assault on his mind had strengthened his Spirit Body.
• Shinji sensed an insect swarm on the horizon, and it noticed him before quickly flying away.

Sasuke challenged Yamada Juichi at the Research Institute and defeated him decisively, demonstrating the Akatsuki Organization’s authority. As the commotion ended, the institute began its sixth ritual, while Haku and Amado noticed that Yamada Juichi seemed weaker than before.

• Sasuke challenged Yamada Juichi, and the researchers gathered to watch their match.
• Sasuke dodged Yamada Juichi’s attacks, used Amenotejikara to appear behind him, and pierced his chest with a lightning-charged arm.

• Yakumo, Naruto, and Haku noticed that Yamada Juichi seemed weaker than he had during an earlier test, while Amado detected his deteriorating condition.
• The match ended, and the Research Institute began its sixth ritual.

The Research Institute began its sixth ritual in the Wind Country desert, using six criminals who had received Otsutsuki cells and tissues as sacrifices. The ritual appeared to succeed, but its subject emerged looking more like an Otsutsuki than any previous test subject, leaving Sasuke wary and Shinji with an inexplicable feeling.

• Naruto learned that the restrained criminals were sacrifices whose transplanted Otsutsuki power would be absorbed to awaken the ritual subject’s divine technique.
• Amado gave the order to begin the ritual, and the subject entered the Cocoon Transformation state without any apparent problems.
• Naruto and Sasuke sensed an unsettling Otsutsuki aura coming from the cocoon, while Orochimaru suspected the ritual had succeeded and worried about Sasuke and Naruto limiting his authority.
• The subject emerged with striking Otsutsuki features, surprising Amado and putting Sasuke, Haku, and Yakumo on guard.
• Shinji cleared the Overlord of Fear’s interference and noticed the subject’s transformation, but focused on repairing the mental damage from his battle with the Bewitching Overlord.

After recovering from his battle with the Bewitching Overlord, Shinji learned that the sixth ritual subject had become much stronger and took both him and Yamada Juichi to his alternate dimension. He sacrificed each man to one of his Divine Trees and rested, leaving the trees ready to cultivate two Chakra Fruits.

• Shinji visited the Research Institute, where Amado reported that the sixth ritual subject surpassed the earlier subjects in speed, strength, and Chakra reserves.
• Shinji ordered Amado to hand over both Yamada Juichi and the sixth ritual subject so he could use them as sacrifices for his two Divine Trees.
• Shinji led the two men through a Space Gate to a desolate dimension, where they recognized the Divine Trees and questioned why he had brought them there.
• When the sixth ritual subject attacked, Shinji blocked his punch, overpowered both men, and threw each into a different Divine Tree's flower bud.
• Shinji sat on one of the Divine Trees and closed his eyes to rest after sacrificing both men.

Shinji harvested two Chakra Fruits from the Divine Trees and consumed the fourth, reaching the uppermost ranks of Kekkei Mōra and healing his mental trauma. Still unable to perceive the realm of Kekkei Sōra, he swallowed the fifth fruit in hopes of growing stronger.

• Shinji endured the noise in his mind for three days as he used his willpower to reunite his divided consciousness.
• Both Divine Trees bloomed, and Shinji harvested their Chakra Fruits, realizing six would likely be the most he could collect.
• Shinji ate the fourth Chakra Fruit and spent two days absorbing its power and understanding the new techniques it revealed.
• Shinji emerged far stronger, with his mental trauma healed, but remained unable to discern the Kekkei Sōra realm.
• Shinji swallowed the fifth Chakra Fruit without hesitation.

After consuming the fifth Chakra Fruit, Shinji grew stronger, developed Godly Emperor Mode, and prepared to face the Bewitching Overlord as World 6 collapsed. With the Overlord’s insect swarm massing around him, Shinji rose atop the Divine Tree and braced for the coming battle.

• Shinji planted two Divine Trees in World 6 and discovered that the fifth Chakra Fruit had greatly increased his Chakra reserves and strengthened his ocular jutsu.
• Shinji found he could combine Godly Emperor Musubi with a second-stage transformation, which he named Godly Emperor Mode.
• After a month of mastering his new abilities, Shinji resisted the urge to test himself against the Overlord and focused on gathering planetary energy.
• Shinji considered how long to fight the Bewitching Overlord, knowing he needed to absorb energy without risking capture as World 6 collapsed.
• The Overlord’s insect swarm grew larger and more grotesque, and after another ten days, Shinji rose atop the Divine Tree as the swarm gathered for its attack.

Shinji fought Bewitching Overlord’s evolving swarm, using Godly Emperor Mode and Amaterasu to burn through its ranks. The battle shifted when Dark Light Bugs immune to the black flames merged into a Shinji-sized opponent that he suspected was Bewitching Overlord’s true body.

• Shinji realized Bewitching Overlord’s swarm had adapted by combining its members’ gravity to weaken his gravitational techniques.
• Shinji charged into the swarm, entered Godly Emperor Mode, and vaporized bugs with the explosive force of his transformation.
• Shinji spread Amaterasu across the swarm and used Banshō Ten'in to restrain bugs as they tried to scatter.
• Dark Light Bugs that could pass through Amaterasu attacked Shinji, and he dodged their strikes.
• The Dark Light Bugs converged into a Shinji-sized bug, which Shinji suspected was Bewitching Overlord’s true body or a part of it.

• Shinji clashed with the Dark Light Bug in Godly Emperor Mode, and their blows devastated the surrounding swarms and flames.
• Shinji resisted the Bewitching Overlord’s mental influence while their battle fractured World 6’s spatial barrier and accelerated the world’s collapse.
