Chapter Summaries

Fugaku, Shisui, and Obito regrouped after defeating Danzo’s summoned fighters and attacked Danzo together. Fugaku’s Susanoo cut Danzo in two, but Fugaku remained wary of the apparent victory.

• Fugaku returned after sealing Aburame Ryūma, while Shisui and Obito also rejoined him after defeating their opponents.
• Fugaku, Shisui, and Obito surrounded Danzo, who stayed in place to sustain the Impure World Reincarnation Persons through a connection to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
• Fugaku ordered the others to attack, and the three launched fire techniques at Danzo.
• Danzo shattered their fire dragon with Wind Blades, then blocked Shisui’s sword and kicked Obito away.
• Fugaku summoned his pale-yellow Susanoo and cut Danzo in two with its scythe, but he remained suspicious that Danzo had died so easily.

Fugaku, Shisui, and Obito confronted Danzo, who revealed he could use Izanagi through twelve Sharingan and had stolen the eyes of Uchiha clan members. Danzo used the technique to revive himself and his summoned beast Baku, leaving the three Uchiha facing an enemy who could undo their attacks.

• Danzo recovered instantly after Fugaku split him in two, then summoned Baku, which struck Fugaku and shattered his Susanoo.
• Fugaku recognized Danzo’s ability as Izanagi and accused him of having more Sharingan than the pair in his eyes.
• Danzo revealed a pale arm implanted with ten Sharingan and explained that Uchiha Madara had remade it using Hashirama Cells.
• Danzo admitted that he had secretly killed Uchiha clan members in Konoha and taken their eyes, enraging Fugaku, Shisui, and Obito.
• Fugaku and Shisui summoned their Susanoo and attacked Baku, but Danzo’s Izanagi restored the wounded beast before he explained that the technique could undo anything unfavorable to him.

Obito used Kamui to remove Danzo’s Baku from the fight, allowing Fugaku and Shisui to reach Danzo. Shisui trapped Danzo with Kotoamatsukami, and Fugaku prepared to act before the genjutsu wore off.

• Danzo attacked Fugaku, Shisui, and Obito with the Baku and his Explosive Spear Tree technique.
• Obito rushed forward and used Kamui to make the Baku disappear, while Fugaku and Shisui charged Danzo.
• Danzo dismissed Shisui’s genjutsu resistance, but Shisui used Kotoamatsukami to make him stand still for three minutes.
• Danzo realized he was unable to move and said he expected to break free within a few minutes.
• Fugaku told Danzo that a few minutes was enough and revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Uchiha Fugaku used his Mangekyō Sharingan ability to age Danzo to death, ending the fight despite losing one eye as the price. He declared that the grudge between Uchiha and Danzo was over.

• Danzo expected Fugaku's attack to trigger Izanagi again, but Fugaku's ability left him unable to see.
• Fugaku explained that his ability, Ten Thousand Years in a Glance, accelerated Danzo's bodily time until Izanagi's effect expired.
• As Fugaku continued speaking, Danzo rapidly aged, lost his teeth, and collapsed dead.
• Fugaku stopped using his ability and revealed that it had cost him his right eye.
• Fugaku told Shisui and Obito that the grudge between Uchiha and Danzo ended there.

Tsunade and the others reached the battlefield after Danzo fell, and the summoned Kekkei Genkai Quartet vanished when their summoner was defeated. The Allied Forces rallied against the White Zetsu, but Uchiha Madara appeared and halted their momentum.

• Tsunade and the others arrived to find Dodai, Ao, and Darui struggling against Pakura and the other three.
• Pakura and the others crumbled into dust after someone defeated the jutsu user who had summoned them.
• Tsunade treated the wounded while Mifune and Hatake Sakumo reorganized the forces against the White Zetsu.
• Jiraiya, Nagato, and Yahiko joined the Allied Forces, and Jiraiya summoned Gamatatsu to cut through the White Zetsu.
• The Allied Forces regrouped, counterattacked, and began driving into the White Zetsu army.
• A powerful presence froze warriors across the battlefield as Uchiha Madara appeared in the sky behind the Allied Forces.

Kagura arrived at the mountain where the Allied Forces’ six Kage-level fighters had been defeated by five reincarnated former Kages. His arrival reassured Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, while Hozuki Gengetsu recognized the two brothers from Konohagakure behind him.

• Hozuki Gengetsu taunted the exhausted Allied Forces, though he had been revealing the reincarnated Kages’ weaknesses to help them.
• Terumi Mei shouted at Hozuki Gengetsu to stop talking, and Hiruzen Sarutobi advised targeting Shamon as the easiest opponent to defeat.
• Kagura and the reincarnated Hashirama and others arrived, prompting Hiruzen Sarutobi and Ōnoki to relax.
• Hozuki Gengetsu questioned Kagura, then froze when he noticed the two brothers from Konohagakure behind him.

Kagura realized Danzo's death had ended the Impure World Reincarnation, causing Hozuki Gengetsu and the other revived Kages to disappear. Uchiha Madara then arrived and used his Rinnegan to restore them, leaving Kagura stunned by the scale of Madara's power.

• Senju Hashirama greeted the gathered Kages enthusiastically until Senju Tobirama warned him to focus.
• Kagura told the others they no longer needed to fight, and Hozuki Gengetsu noticed his body and the other revived Kages' bodies were crumbling away.
• Hozuki Gengetsu realized Danzo, who had cast the Impure World Reincarnation, was dead, while Kagura learned through his system that Danzo's death had earned him a mission reward.
• Uchiha Madara appeared above the group and used his Rinnegan to halt the Kages' disappearance and restore their bodies.
• Kagura watched the restoration and wondered if Uchiha Madara was the one with a cheat-like power.

Uchiha Madara left to fight Senju Hashirama and used his Rinnegan to turn five reanimated Kage into combat puppets. Kagura divided his allies among the remaining enemies, then summoned his own Six Paths to face Madara’s four remaining paths.

• Uchiha Madara noticed that Danzo had fewer reanimated fighters than expected and blamed his failure for forcing Madara to appear early.
• Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama agreed to move their fight away from the Allied Forces, while Madara left six figures to block Kagura’s group.
• Uchiha Madara used his Rinnegan to control Hozuki Gengetsu and the other four reanimated Kage, and Karatachi Yagura recognized his own body among Madara’s Six Paths.
• Kagura sent Kinkaku, Ginkaku, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Ōnoki, the Fourth Raikage, Terumi Mei, and the Third Kazekage to hold off the five reanimated Kage.
• Kagura assigned Karatachi Yagura and the Third Kazekage to fight Madara’s Yagura path, and Minato and Tobirama to fight Heavenly Path Tobirama.
• Kagura summoned his six paths and prepared to battle Madara’s remaining four paths.

Karatachi Yagura recalled how Uchiha Madara’s control had ruined his life and how Madara later turned his corpse into one of the Madara Six Paths. He and the Third Kazekage attacked Six Paths Karatachi Yagura, but the chapter ended as they saw his unexpected response to the Third Kazekage’s Black Iron Sand.

• Karatachi Yagura remembered becoming Mizukage, rebuilding Kirigakure, and losing his confidence after Uchiha Madara controlled him and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were lost.
• Karatachi Yagura confronted Madara through the body of Six Paths Karatachi Yagura and resolved to fight him.
• Karatachi Yagura charged Six Paths Karatachi Yagura while the Third Kazekage rose into the air and sent Black Iron Sand spears after him.
• Six Paths Karatachi Yagura met Karatachi Yagura’s weapon strike and sent him flying, revealing that his body was far stronger than Karatachi Yagura’s.
• The Third Kazekage’s Black Iron Sand attack reached Six Paths Karatachi Yagura, whose response stunned both attackers.

Karatachi Yagura and the Third Kazekage fought Asura Path Karatachi Yagura, whose mechanical body unleashed missiles, a laser, and a barrage of weapons. The Third Kazekage’s body began regenerating as Karatachi Yagura defended them with his Water Style: Still Water Mirror, but Asura Path broke through and attacked them again.

• Asura Path Karatachi Yagura opened his head and arm to fire missiles that destroyed the Third Kazekage’s iron spikes.
• Asura Path fired a laser from his head, erasing part of the Third Kazekage’s left side and forcing him to retreat upward.
• Asura Path transformed into a three-headed, six-armed mechanical form, and the Third Kazekage teased Karatachi Yagura about his appearance before hiding behind him.
• Asura Path launched his detached arms and charged with a serrated blade, but Karatachi Yagura used Water Style: Still Water Mirror to repel the flying fists.
• Asura Path cut through the water mirror and sent blades from his severed arms toward Karatachi Yagura and the Third Kazekage.

The Third Kazekage and Karatachi Yagura defeated the Asura Path by immobilizing it with Black Iron Sand and disabling its missile with Coral Palm. The first of the “Madara Six Paths” was eliminated, while Minato and Senju Tobirama faced Heavenly Path Tobirama on another battlefield.

• The Third Kazekage revealed that he had covered the broken mirror with Black Iron Sand, trapping the Asura Path’s body.
• The Third Kazekage filled the Asura Path with iron sand and immobilized it as it tried to launch a missile.
• Karatachi Yagura coated the missile in coral, extinguishing its flames.
• The Third Kazekage used Black Iron Sand to tear the Asura Path apart, making it the first of the “Madara Six Paths” to be eliminated.
• The Third Kazekage wondered whether Kagura had deliberately sent them because he knew their abilities, while Karatachi Yagura complained that Uchiha Madara had dug up his corpse.
• On another battlefield, Heavenly Path Tobirama activated Shinra Tensei against Minato and Senju Tobirama.

Senju Tobirama and Minato fought Heavenly Path Tobirama, who proved stronger than Tobirama’s original body and wielded a lethal Water Style technique. Minato narrowly escaped the attack, and Tobirama’s waterfall then swallowed Heavenly Path Tobirama.

• Senju Tobirama recognized that Heavenly Path Tobirama was stronger than his original body and joined Minato in fighting him.
• Tobirama and Minato used their knowledge of Shinra Tensei’s range and cooldown to attack during an opening.
• Minato threw kunai as Tobirama summoned a massive waterfall, and both men closed in on Heavenly Path Tobirama.
• Heavenly Path Tobirama cut Minato’s Rasengan in half with Water Style: Water Blade Slash, but its explosion pushed Minato clear of the blade.
• The blade of light split the ground, and Tobirama’s waterfall crashed down and swallowed Heavenly Path Tobirama.

The Heavenly Path defeated Tobirama by exploiting the cooldown of Shinra Tensei and using a marked Kunai to teleport behind him. With Black Iron Rods disabling Tobirama’s Chakra, the Heavenly Path prepared a black orb and left his fate uncertain.

• Allied Forces warriors stopped fighting to watch as Tobirama’s Great Waterfall was cut apart by the Heavenly Path.
• Tobirama’s Water Bullet Barrage halted the Heavenly Path briefly, but the Heavenly Path threw a marked Kunai through the water wall.
• Tobirama dodged the Kunai, but the Heavenly Path used Flying Thunder God to appear behind him and stab him with Black Iron Rods.
• The Heavenly Path explained that the rods disrupted Tobirama’s Chakra and prevented him from using Flying Thunder God.
• The Heavenly Path formed a small black Chakra orb and sent it drifting toward Tobirama.

The Heavenly Path used Banshō Ten'in to capture Minato and trapped Tobirama with Chibaku Tensei. Tobirama escaped by detonating Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags attached to his own body, destroying the Heavenly Path but leaving both of them severely damaged.

• Minato teleported to save Tobirama, but the Heavenly Path pulled him in with Banshō Ten'in, seized him, and pierced him with a Black Iron Rod.
• The Heavenly Path teleported with Minato to a prepared Flying Thunder God coordinate and explained that Banshō Ten'in was the opposite of Shinra Tensei.
• The Heavenly Path used Chibaku Tensei to trap Tobirama inside a mass of earth and prepared to kill the wounded Minato.
• Tobirama's trapped boulder exploded, and Minato grabbed the Heavenly Path's foot as he activated Shinra Tensei.
• Tobirama revealed that he had used Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags on his own body, blasting the Heavenly Path apart and severely damaging himself.

Minato and Tobirama defeated the Heavenly Path with a planned explosion and a Rasengan, while Kagura faced Madara’s four Six Paths after revealing his Rinnegan. Kagura’s allies launched a coordinated attack, trapping the four in the Third Kazekage’s Iron Sand.

• Tobirama ignited the Explosion Tags on his body, and Minato used Flying Thunder God to swap him with the Heavenly Path.
• Minato struck the immobilized Heavenly Path with a Rasengan, destroying him, then worried about Kagura facing four opponents alone.
• Kagura revealed his Rinnegan to Hozuki Gengetsu, and Madara regretted splitting his strength among multiple bodies.
• Kagura sent Hashirama and Tobirama to attack the four Six Paths with wood and water techniques.
• The Third Kazekage caught the airborne four in Iron Sand.

Kagura’s forces clashed with Madara’s Six Paths, and the Hashirama body proved weaker than expected because it lacked its own Chakra. Hashirama’s Susanoo-clad Giant Buddha destroyed Gengetsu’s summoned beasts, while the battle against the Raikage continued inside Haku’s ice mirrors.

• Kagura’s Hashirama and Tobirama attacked the four enemy Paths, but their assault had little effect.
• The Second and Third Raikage tore through the Third Kazekage’s Black Iron Sand cage, while Jugo, Kimimaro, and Haku engaged them.
• Hozuki Gengetsu summoned four Rinnegan-bearing beasts as Kagura led Hashirama and the others toward him and Mu.
• Hashirama formed a Giant Buddha, and Kagura clad it in purple Susanoo armor.
• The Susanoo-clad Giant Buddha crushed Gengetsu’s winged beast and cut down his Naga and jellyfish summons, while its movement snapped the two-headed snake.

Kagura and his allies overwhelmed Hozuki Gengetsu and Mu, with Kagura targeting Mu before turning to Gengetsu. After Gengetsu warned that the war was already destined to be lost, Kagura pressed a Wind Blade Rasengan against him.

• Kagura taunted Hozuki Gengetsu and attacked him with the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release chains.
• Mu appeared and destroyed the chains with Dust Release, but Kagura anticipated Mu's invisibility and struck him with Amaterasu.
• Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, and the Third Kazekage restrained Hozuki Gengetsu with Wood Release and Black Iron Sand spears.
• Kagura pierced Hozuki Gengetsu's chest with Chidori, but Gengetsu survived as one of Uchiha Madara's Six Paths puppets.
• Hozuki Gengetsu praised Kagura's growth and warned that the war's outcome was already decided, and Kagura pressed a Wind Blade Rasengan against him.

Kagura defeated Hozuki Gengetsu with a Wind Release Rasengan as Kimimaro, Jugo, and Haku overcame the two Raikage controlled by Uchiha Madara. With all six of Madara’s bodies defeated, the “Madara Six Paths” threat came to an end.

• Kagura struck Hozuki Gengetsu with a Wind Release Rasengan, shredding his body from within and leaving him unable to fight.
• Haku’s ice mirrors vanished, revealing that the Third Raikage and Second Raikage had fallen to Kimimaro, Jugo, and Haku.
• The Third Raikage tried to absorb Jugo’s chakra, but Jugo’s Sage-infused chakra overwhelmed him and caused him to collapse.
• Kimimaro, Jugo, and Haku defeated the Second Raikage after the Third Raikage fell.
• Kagura realized that all of Uchiha Madara’s Six Paths had been defeated, ending the “Madara Six Paths.”

After defeating Madara’s Six Paths, Kagura received rewards that transformed his body and brought the Nine-Tails into his fusion, though its degree remained at 59%. Suspecting that Madara had been stalling for another purpose, Kagura rushed toward the battlefield where Madara and Hashirama fought as unexpected figures appeared there.

• Kagura confirmed that the Six Paths had been killed and used the mission rewards to raise his taijutsu progress to 100%, reducing the danger of opening the Eighth Gate.
• Kagura casually punched Kimimaro and shattered his bone armor, confirming that his body had become far stronger.
• Kagura’s rewards and prior efforts brought the Nine-Tails’ fusion degree to 59%, but he worried that he could no longer raise it to 100% quickly through missions.
• Kagura recalled Hozuki Gengetsu’s final words and suspected that Uchiha Madara had been stalling for another goal.
• Kagura hurried toward the battlefield where Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama fought, where several unexpected figures appeared.

Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara fought across a vast forest, but Madara’s Susanoo demonstrated power beyond Hashirama’s strongest techniques. Madara ended the battle by declaring that Hashirama could no longer stand on the same level as him.

• Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara fought in the forest, with Hashirama using Sage Art: Wood Style: True Several Thousand Hands and Madara wielding Susanoo.
• Hashirama recognized that Madara had grown stronger than before and sensed that Madara was still holding back.
• Hashirama sent a barrage of fists at Madara, but Madara’s twin blades shattered space and erased the attack.
