Chapter Summaries

After nearly two months traveling through the Ninja World, Lin Qing returned to Kyoto City with a reform plan intended to transform the nations and their institutions. Oda Ieyasu read the radical proposals and agreed to begin carrying them out.

• Lin Qing visited a desert village where Gelin City's Rats taught residents to use farming tools, then reunited with Iwao Genyako and helped villagers dig a well.
• At the village celebration, Lin Qing argued with Ōtsutsuki Isshiki that ordinary people could awaken and take responsibility for making history.
• Ten days later, Lin Qing completed his journey and arrived in Kyoto City with a filled notebook and more than a hundred photographs.
• Lin Qing gave Oda Ieyasu a plan to unite the Five Great Countries, replace ninja villages with a public service system, expand industry and healthcare, and teach Awakening Ideology.
• Oda Ieyasu recognized how radical the plan was, then agreed with Lin Qing to carry it out.

Lin Qing prepared to unify the Ninja World and pursue his remaining goals as the new Human Federation approached its founding. Meanwhile, researchers exploring Ōtsutsuki Kaguya’s ice dimension encountered Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Kinshiki.

• Lin Qing and Oda Ieyasu discussed reforms through the night, and Oda Ieyasu took responsibility for carrying them out while they hoped the next generation could live happily.
• Lin Qing and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki left the Feudal Lord’s Mansion, ending their travels together.
• Over three months, Lin Qing’s reforms transformed the Ninja World, and he prepared for the Human Federation Agreement, the History Memorial Hall opening, and the global teleportation network launch.
• Lin Qing marked finding Uchiha Obito and resolving Ōtsutsuki Isshiki as his next major tasks.
• Researchers and ninjas explored Kaguya’s ice dimension and approached her castle, where Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Kinshiki emerged through a portal.

Momoshiki and Kinshiki arrived in Kaguya’s ice dimension and learned from Nakajima Daishi about Lin Qing, then headed for the celebration in Kirigakure to kill him. Sakamoto managed to send a warning, but Kabuto Yakushi intercepted and killed the Ninja Mouse as Obito prepared to challenge Lin Qing.

• Momoshiki and Kinshiki found Sakamoto’s exploration team in Kaguya’s ice dimension, and Kinshiki killed most of its members.
• Nakajima Daishi praised Momoshiki and urged him to kill Lin Qing at the Kirigakure celebration, and Momoshiki agreed to go there with Kinshiki.
• Sakamoto survived Kinshiki’s attack long enough to summon a Ninja Mouse and send a warning to Hayato Kamihara.
• Kabuto Yakushi intercepted the Ninja Mouse and fed it to his snakes as Obito, bearing a Rinnegan and Truth-Seeking Orbs, declared that he would overthrow Lin Qing’s rule.

Obito, Kabuto Yakushi, and the White Snake Sage prepared to seize Isshiki’s head and use the chaos to kill Lin Qing. As the signing ceremony approached, Lin Qing reflected on a memorial sculpture with Mei Terumi, who reminded him of his promise to stay with her after peace came.

• Obito, Kabuto Yakushi, and the White Snake Sage finalized their plan to force Lin Qing to transfer Isshiki’s head, block its escape routes, and attack alongside an Impure World Reincarnation army.
• Obito opened the Sky Base, and the Jashin Great White Snake forces marched out as he ordered them to attack.
• At the History Memorial Hall, Lin Qing studied a sculpture of a young man holding a dead girl and told Mei Terumi that the girl’s death had taught him what powerlessness meant.
• Mei Terumi straightened Lin Qing’s clothes and wondered whether he would disappear after bringing peace to the Ninja World.
• Mei Terumi reminded Lin Qing of his promise to find her after stepping down as Mizukage so they could farm and raise chickens, and they smiled together.

At the signing of the Human Federation Agreement, Obito attacked with the Ten-Tails, while Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Kinshiki appeared and targeted Lin Qing. Lin Qing struck Momoshiki with Star Platinum and stopped time to follow up.

• Yukino Tokugawa searched for Lin Qing while guests and officials gathered for the ceremony, and the global broadcast began at ten in the morning.
• Lin Qing and the national leaders signed the Human Federation Agreement, triggering a system reward of 2,000 Soul Shards and one Dimensional Ascension Star Core.
• Obito summoned the Ten-Tails and attacked the memorial hall, prompting ninjas and the Extermination Army to rescue civilians and prepare for battle.
• Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Kinshiki appeared, and Momoshiki rushed Lin Qing with a punch aimed at his heart.
• Star Platinum caught Momoshiki's arm and struck his head, after which Lin Qing stopped time and activated Space Slingshot.

Lin Qing used Star Platinum’s time stop and a space-powered punch to shatter Momoshiki’s defenses, leaving the Ōtsutsuki badly wounded. Isshiki disrupted Lin Qing’s seal long enough for Kinshiki to attack, interrupting Lin Qing’s pursuit of Momoshiki.

• Lin Qing noticed Momoshiki could move within stopped time, though his influence on reality was limited, and prepared a Space Slingshot punch.
• Momoshiki unleashed Shinra Tensei during the time stop, but Star Platinum braced Lin Qing against the repulsive force.
• When time resumed, Lin Qing’s punch tore through Momoshiki’s chakra barrier and shattered his chest, sending him flying.
• Isshiki judged that Lin Qing’s close-combat strength and space-time abilities made him a dangerous opponent for Momoshiki, then spent his stored power to disrupt his seal.
• Lin Qing reinforced Isshiki’s seal, but the brief disruption gave Momoshiki time to summon crimson weapons as Kinshiki charged Lin Qing with a massive axe.

Lin Qing and the gathered ninja fought Momoshiki, while Sasuke revealed he could erase even Momoshiki’s massive attacks. As Lin Qing launched a Steel Ball at Momoshiki, Isshiki desperately demanded that the silent Obito finally act.

• Lin Qing knocked Kinshiki away and charged Momoshiki, who summoned earthen dragons that the gathered ninja countered with a barrage of attacks.
• Momoshiki absorbed the ninjutsu and Tailed Beast Bombs, healed his injuries, and created a huge energy sphere aimed at destroying Kirigakure.
• Sasuke, supported by Xiaotao, Naruto, and Gaara, nullified the energy sphere with Super Ninjutsu Nullification.
• Lin Qing threw a supersonic Steel Ball at Momoshiki, who found he could not absorb it.
• Isshiki cursed at Obito and demanded that he join the fight, but Obito remained silent.

Obito weighed whether to intervene in the battle between Lin Qing and the Otsutsuki, then decided he needed Ame-no-Futodama-no-Mikoto to find a path to victory. At the Research Institute, the White Snake Sage led five Impure World Reincarnation warriors in an assault to seize the processor and fight for the old world.

• Obito concluded that he would rather die than flee after losing and hoped Lin Qing and the three Otsutsuki would destroy one another.
• The White Snake Sage summoned Mu, Hozuki Gengetsu, A, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Hanzo the Salamander to raid the Research Institute.
• After learning about the New World created under Lin Qing, the revived warriors questioned why the White Snake Sage had brought them back.
• The White Snake Sage said she and the revived warriors had no place in the New World and ordered them to fight for the old one.
• The five Kage-level warriors charged the Research Institute to help seize Ame-no-Futodama-no-Mikoto.

The White Snake Sage’s assault on the Research Institute was met by automated defenses and a Sky Battleship, forcing her to summon more Impure World Reincarnation fighters to break in and retrieve the final pieces she needed. After returning and assembling as Jashin Great White Snake, she and Kabuto Yakushi had Tobi use Ame-no-Futodama-no-Mikoto to ask how to achieve the wonderful ending of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

• The Research Institute trapped the White Snake Sage’s five Kage-level attackers behind Steel Release barriers and destroyed them with the Sky Battleship’s laser cannons.
• The White Snake Sage pretended to be Android 18, but the real Android 18 exposed her, so she escaped underground and asked Kabuto Yakushi for more Impure World Reincarnation bodies.
• Kabuto Yakushi sent the revived fighters to reinforce the Research Institute assault, and the Second Tsuchikage blasted open the gates while Deidara, Kakuzu, and Sasori protected the White Snake Sage.
• The White Snake Sage took Orochimaru’s disc, rescued Hidan, and swallowed them along with Ame-no-Futodama-no-Mikoto before returning to her own body.
• Android 18 said goodbye and told the White Snake Sage she believed Lin Qing would win, while the White Snake Sage vowed to return victorious and kill her.
• Kabuto Yakushi gave Ame-no-Futodama-no-Mikoto to Tobi, who implanted it in his eye and asked how they could achieve Infinite Tsukuyomi’s wonderful ending.

Lin Qing overwhelmed Momoshiki with his attacks until Obito intervened, guided by Ame-no-Futodama-no-Mikoto’s vision of Infinite Tsukuyomi. Lin Qing drew the Tear Blade to face Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Obito as a Tailed Beast Bomb shot toward Momoshiki.

• Lin Qing’s spinning steel ball shattered Kinshiki’s shield, while C-Moon pinned Kinshiki to the ground and let Lin Qing reach Momoshiki.
• Momoshiki stabbed Lin Qing with a black rod, but Lin Qing’s blood attacked Momoshiki’s genes, slowing him before Lin Qing cut his chest with the Blade of Ruin.
• Killer Queen’s First Bomb destroyed a Truth-Seeking Orb when Obito used it to block Lin Qing’s attack and help Momoshiki escape.
• Obito told Lin Qing that he had chosen to attack him because Ame-no-Futodama-no-Mikoto had shown him a path to Infinite Tsukuyomi.
• Lin Qing drew the Tear Blade and faced Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Obito as a Tailed Beast Bomb shot from the flower behind the Ten-Tails toward Momoshiki.

Lin Qing battled Obito, Momoshiki, and Kinshiki while struggling to protect Kirigakure, and Jiraiya took Isshiki’s head to Mount Myoboku. Lin Qing’s allies briefly trapped Momoshiki, leaving Obito exposed as Kinshiki chose to answer Momoshiki’s call for help.

• Might Guy explained that Obito was helping Momoshiki recharge with the Ten-Tails, while Elder Chiyo summoned her puppets and worried over Lin Qing’s battle and Isshiki’s weakening seal.
• Jiraiya took Isshiki’s head to Mount Myoboku after Lin Qing warned him to prioritize his safety.
• Obito used the Ten-Tails’ attacks on Kirigakure to force Lin Qing to keep fighting near the village, while Lin Qing endured assaults from Obito, Momoshiki, and Kinshiki.
• Might Guy, Tsunade, A, and Sasuke restrained Momoshiki, and Kakashi used Kamui to crack his skull as Lin Qing attacked Obito.
• Kinshiki ignored Obito’s need for rescue and charged to aid Momoshiki, allowing Lin Qing to seize Obito by the neck and ask whether the Otsutsuki truly considered him one of their own.

Lin Qing killed Obito, but Isshiki and the other Ōtsutsuki turned the battle around, killing Sasuke, Jiraiya, and Mei Terumi. Driven to despair, Lin Qing activated Bites the Dust, rewound time by an hour, and began preparing for the coming battle.

• Lin Qing killed Obito with Killer Queen after his teammates stopped Momoshiki and the Ten-Tails from intervening.
• Isshiki killed Sasuke, while the First through Fourth Hokage, controlled by Kabuto Yakushi and the White Snake Sage, killed Jiraiya.

• Lin Qing revealed to Isshiki that he came from another world and activated Killer Queen: Third Bomb: Bites the Dust, rewinding time by one hour.
• Lin Qing returned to the signing ceremony, suspended it, threw Isshiki into the Ghost Room, and started the Sage Trial Mission using the Dimensional Ascension Star Core and the steel ball.

Lin Qing activated the Saint's Trial Mission to defeat Funny Valentine and seize the Saint's Corpse, hoping to master Lesson 5 and gain Ball Breaker's power. He arrived in the Steel Ball Run world possessing Diego Brando's body, only to discover that Diego was mortally wounded.

• Lin Qing studied the mission and concluded that he would need to comprehend Lesson 5 to defeat Valentine and overcome D4C: Love Train.
• With Obito, Momoshiki, and Kinshiki expected to arrive soon, Lin Qing activated the trial rather than risk another catastrophe.
• Lin Qing awoke in Diego Brando's body and recognized its Stand, Scary Monsters.
• Lin Qing turned around and saw that Diego's abdomen had been ruptured and the lower half of his body lay several meters away.

Lin Qing survived being cut in half by using Spin to revive Hot Pants and help her heal them both. After recovering, he and Hot Pants set off to catch the train and kill Funny Valentine, spotting Johnny and Gyro alongside it as they pursued.

• Lin Qing realized he had arrived at the fall of the twin stars and saw the mortally wounded Hot Pants falling from the train.
• Lin Qing used Scary Monsters to turn two wolves into dinosaurs, then sent a Spin-infused fang into Hot Pants to revive her.
• Hot Pants used Cream Starter to heal Lin Qing while he used Ripple and Spin to keep her alive, and they both recovered from their injuries.
• Lin Qing told Hot Pants he intended to kill Funny Valentine and invited her to join him; she took his hand.
• Lin Qing and Hot Pants chased the train on a large pink dinosaur, and Lin Qing spotted Johnny and Gyro riding alongside it.

Johnny and Gyro cornered Funny Valentine, but the Saint’s Corpse awakened Love Train and turned attacks against Valentine into disasters elsewhere. Lin Qing and Hot Pants rejoined the fight, and Lin Qing prepared to attack Valentine with a Ripple-infused stone ball.

• Johnny and Gyro pursued Valentine’s train, planning to stop it and kill him before he could escape into a parallel world.
• Johnny fired at Valentine through a window, but his nail bullets struck Lucy and transferred Valentine’s injuries to him instead.
• Lucy’s body released a golden wall of light, awakening Valentine’s D4C: Love Train and redirecting his wounds and Johnny’s attacks into misfortune elsewhere.
• Valentine attacked Johnny, but a powerful stone ball struck his hand before he could land a blow.
• Lin Qing and Hot Pants arrived alive, broke through the forest blocking Johnny, and surrounded Valentine with Johnny and Gyro.
• Lin Qing aimed a Ripple-infused stone ball at Valentine and declared that he had come to bring him the happiness of death.

Lin Qing and his allies rescued Lucy and Steel from the derailing train and pursued Funny Valentine, whose protection weakened as Lucy moved away. Lin Qing asked Gyro to use Ball Breaker against Valentine while he studied the technique, and Gyro’s first attempt grazed the president.

• Funny Valentine used the Saint’s blessing to deflect his hand injury and threatened Lin Qing and Johnny as they confronted him.
• Lin Qing derailed the train with a stone ball, and Hot Pants rescued Lucy and the dying Steel from the wreckage.
• Lin Qing, Hot Pants, Gyro, and Johnny chased Valentine as the protection of the light wall weakened with Lucy’s distance from him.
• Lin Qing explained that Gyro could use Ball Breaker to weaponize gravity and break through Valentine’s protection, while Lin Qing tried to learn the technique.
• Gyro threw his first imperfect Ball Breaker, grazing Valentine’s hair, and Johnny said he thought he understood the technique.

Lin Qing and Gyro fought Funny Valentine as Gyro awakened Steel Ball Breaker and struck the President, who escaped into a parallel world. Valentine sent five armed duplicates to kill Lin Qing and the others, but Lin Qing intercepted their bullets and killed them; Hot Pants then reached the Atlantic Ocean, where the soaked ground trapped her foot.

• Lin Qing admitted he had not mastered Ball Breaker as he, Gyro, and Johnny pursued Valentine, while Lucy briefly began breathing again as Hot Pants carried her away.
• Valentine attacked Hot Pants, but Steel shielded Lucy, and Gyro's steel ball struck Valentine after Steel Ball Breaker awakened and guided it past him.
• The ball wounded and rapidly aged Valentine, who escaped into a parallel world after Steel's deflection kept the attack from killing him outright.
• Valentine returned with five armed duplicates, who fired at Lin Qing, Gyro, and Johnny while the real Valentine continued after Hot Pants.
• Lin Qing shielded his companions by cutting apart the bullets, then used Gyro's stone balls to knock down and kill all five duplicates.
• Hot Pants reached a stretch of the Atlantic Ocean drawn across the road by the Saint's Corpse, and her foot sank into the softened, seawater-soaked ground.

Hot Pants sacrificed herself to shield Lucy and buy time for Lin Qing, Gyro, and Johnny to catch up with Funny Valentine. Valentine reclaimed Lucy and declared that the ritual to create a new era had begun.

• The Atlantic Ocean split into walls of seawater, and Funny Valentine caught up with Hot Pants as she carried Lucy through the flooded corridor.
• Hot Pants threw Lucy toward Lin Qing and faced D4C, using her own blood and Cream Starter to protect Lucy and hold Valentine back.

• Lin Qing caught Lucy, the world froze, and a strange voice greeted him.

Lin Qing met the Saint in the frozen world and learned that the Saint could answer three questions but could not reveal the secrets of Fate Ink. The Saint warned that Lin Qing could defeat the Otsutsuki only at great cost, then admitted he could not predict whether reviving Kaguya would reduce the casualties.
