Chapter Summaries

Ōtsutsuki Yunshi defeated Grell, claimed his collected artifacts, and devastated parts of the Land of Gelel before following a map to an ancient ruin. There, Yunshi and Kawashiki discovered an Otsutsuki contact mark that suggested someone from their clan had visited the planet before them, despite the absence of any mission record.

• Ōtsutsuki Yunshi stopped Grell’s escape, rewound time after Grell exploded himself, and compressed him into a living flesh ball for a future Zanpakuto.
• Kawashiki gave Yunshi a Sealing Scroll containing Grell’s treasures and a map to the ruin Grell had sought.

• Yunshi and Kawashiki arrived at the ruin shown on the map and found an Otsutsuki Clan contact mark carved into a cliff.
• Kawashiki questioned why the clan’s records showed no visit to the planet as Yunshi touched the mark’s surviving patterns.

Ōtsutsuki Yunshi discovered Ōtsutsuki Shibai’s remains beneath an ancient Otsutsuki structure and took them for himself. He planned to use them to grow strong enough to resist the Main House, leaving Kawashiki to consider whether to follow him.

• Ōtsutsuki Yunshi activated the marked wall and found damaged Otsutsuki markings and a Six-Tomoe Rinnegan design beneath the platform.
• Ōtsutsuki Yunshi told Kawashiki that Ōtsutsuki Shibai had died there, then activated the platform and revealed Shibai’s remains in a coffin.
• Kawashiki confirmed that the figure was lifeless and recognized its Byakugan, Black Eye, and Rinnegan.
• Ōtsutsuki Yunshi stored Shibai’s remains in a spatial rift and explained that he would use them to gain enough strength to withstand the Main House.
• Ōtsutsuki Yunshi warned Kawashiki that he would kill him if necessary, then left through another rift as Kawashiki gave a strained reply.

Ōtsutsuki Yunshi found that his blood had transformed a valley and given the toad Gamamaru intelligence, setting him on the path to becoming the Great Toad Sage. Confronted by the sense that history was steering his actions, Yunshi resolved to replace fate with his own will and began shaking the valley with Hado Fifty-Seven: Earth Dance.

• Ōtsutsuki Yunshi and Kawashiki searched the oceans for Maki but found no trace of the Ōtsutsuki treasure.
• Ōtsutsuki Yunshi recognized the valley where he had once met the Island Turtle, Dorn, and Zhongzhi, and concluded that his blood had transformed the region over the past century.
• Ōtsutsuki Yunshi called out the toad in the lake, and Gamamaru revealed that he had died once, been reborn through Yunshi’s power, and named himself.
• Ōtsutsuki Yunshi saw Gamamaru’s emergence as evidence of fate shaping history and resolved to make his will replace fate.
• Ōtsutsuki Yunshi cast Hado Fifty-Seven: Earth Dance, violently shaking the valley and surrounding land.

Yunshi concealed Myobokuzan, gave Gamamaru two Kusabi disguised as Sage Talismans, and revealed his plan to wait for two thousand years and ultimately kill whoever occupied Shibai’s position.

• Yunshi raised cliffs and ravines around the valley, filling them with mist to create Labyrinth Mountain and conceal Myobokuzan.

• In Konoha Year 65, Jiraiya rushed into Myobokuzan’s stone hall carrying a child and pleaded with the Great Toad Sage to save the Child of Prophecy.
