Chapter 201 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Qingyun keeps Nine-Tails Mode active constantly—even while eating, sleeping, and training—to make the transformation feel completely natural.
• He reflects on Naruto and Sasuke’s decline in the Boruto era, believing they squandered their Six Paths power through repeated battles and failed to preserve their strength.

• After a year, his control over Tailed Beast Chakra Mode becomes so precise that he considers it superior even to Killer B’s.

• Kurama teaches Qingyun how to form a Tailed Beast Ball, explaining that it requires a precise two-to-eight ratio of Yin and Yang chakra, followed by careful compression.
