Chapter Summaries

Uchiha Yue used Susanoo to overcome the Kirigakure jonin’s attacks and slaughtered ten of them, absorbing their ocular power. As his eyes began to ache, Susanoo changed, and Yue realized it was something more than Susanoo.

Uchiha Yue transformed his Susanoo into a six-armed Asura and used it to slaughter the Kirigakure forces guarding Mandarin Fish Town, though he worried about the ocular power the form consumed. With the Shadow Guard seething but silent, the chapter left the confrontation under the authority of Fourth Mizukage Yagura—or possibly Uchiha Madara.

• Uchiha Yue examined Buliang Nanyou and recognized the Kubikiribōchō on his back.

Uchiha Yue fought through Uchiha Madara’s ambush to reach the Kirigakure Shadow Guard blocking his way to his mother, Uzumaki Minako. After Tsukuyomi strained his Mangekyō Sharingan and left him battling four guards, he activated it again and prepared a secret technique, forcing Uchiha Madara to intervene.

• Uchiha Yue reopened his eyes, activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, and launched a Falling Moon Style secret technique, prompting Uchiha Madara to decide to step in.

Uchiha Yue awakened a Mangekyō Sharingan ability that let him control time and used it to kill the Kirigakure Shadow Guard and rescue his mother, Minako. Exhausted, he fled Mandarin Fish Town with her while Uchiha Madara pursued them through the Fourth Mizukage Yagura.

• Uchiha Madara sensed a strange chakra fluctuation as Uchiha Yue dove toward the Kirigakure Shadow Guard and realized Yue was using a new Mangekyō Sharingan ability.

• Uchiha Yue tied himself to Minako with a rope and challenged Yagura, who pointed out that his Three-Tails Isobu chakra gave him an advantage over Yue.

Uchiha Yue faced the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, who was controlled by Uchiha Madara, despite his depleted chakra and inability to use his Mangekyō Sharingan. After Yagura overwhelmed him in close combat and with Water Release, he mocked Yue’s Fire Release as a disgrace to the Uchiha Clan.

• As Yue began forming hand seals for a Fire Release technique, Yagura called him the shame of the Uchiha Clan.

Uchiha Yue's Fire Release failed against Uchiha Madara controlling the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, and a Water Dragon Bullet left Yue unable to move from chakra exhaustion. Madara approached him and prepared to reveal the power of the Three-Tails Isobu.

• Uchiha Yue attacked the Fourth Mizukage Yagura with Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique, but Madara countered with Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique.
• The water dragon overwhelmed Yue and slammed him into the ground despite his attempt to evade with the Falling Moon Style: Afterimage Fist.

• Uchiha Madara, controlling Yagura, mocked the decline of the Uchiha Clan's Fire Release and reflected on Senju Tobirama's Water Release.
• Madara stopped before Yue and announced that he would show him the power of Three-Tails Isobu.

Uchiha Yue, exhausted after defeating scores of Kirigakure ninja, faced Uchiha Madara controlling the Fourth Mizukage Yagura and unleashing Three-Tails Isobu. To protect his mother and fight back, Yue released the Nine-Tailed Fox chakra sealed within him and used his Mangekyō Sharingan to control it, leaving the battle poised for a clash between their Tailed Beasts.

• Uchiha Yue stood battered before the Fourth Mizukage Yagura after killing sixty Kirigakure jonin, one hundred and twenty chunin, and seven Shadow Guard members.

• Yue awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, gained greater control over the Nine-Tailed Fox chakra, and challenged Yagura to see whose Tailed Beast was stronger.

Uchiha Yue fought Uchiha Madara, who controlled Fourth Mizukage Yagura and Isobu, while trying to conserve his Mangekyou Sharingan and break the water prison so he could escape with his mother, Minako.

• Uchiha Yue struck Yagura’s arm with a Super Big Ball Rasengan and fled with Uzumaki Minako as the attack’s power erupted.

• Uchiha Madara taunted the helpless Uchiha Yue by touching Uzumaki Minako and asking whether Yue could still save her.
• Uchiha Madara proposed that he and Uchiha Yue discuss terms.

• Uchiha Madara used Yagura and the Three-Tails Isobu's tail to take Uzumaki Minako hostage while Yue struggled to stand.
• Uchiha Yue offered his eyes in exchange for his mother's freedom, but he recognized that Madara wanted him and would not honor the bargain.

• Yagura broke the seal and pierced Uzumaki Minako through the chest with Isobu's tail as she carried Yue away.
• Uchiha Yue cradled his mother's cooling body, saw his tears turn to blood, and wondered if he was in hell.

• Madara controlled Isobu-form Yagura in a fierce battle against Yue’s mature Susanoo, and their clashes reshaped the terrain.

• Blood-red chakra appeared around Yue, changing his Susanoo’s helmet and blades and more than doubling its size.
• Madara recognized Yue’s transformed Susanoo as a half-complete form and reacted in shock.

Uchiha Yue’s grief and hatred drove his Mangekyō Sharingan to manifest a semi-complete Susanoo, and he used it to overwhelm the Fourth Mizukage Yagura in Three-Tails form. As Yue moved in to finish Yagura, Uchiha Madara prepared a counterattack.

• Uchiha Yue’s newly generated, cursed ocular power fueled his semi-complete Susanoo as he charged Yagura in Three-Tails form.

• Uchiha Yue sent a final wind blade toward the wounded Yagura, but Uchiha Madara countered with a Tailed Beast Bomb.

Shimura Danzō received intelligence suggesting that Uchiha Yue had survived his battle in the Land of Water, while the Third Hokage came to learn what had happened. Danzō revealed that nearly two hundred Kirigakure shinobi, including eighty-seven jonin, had been killed along the route escorting Uzumaki Minako, leaving the Third Hokage to grasp the significance of the report.

• Three days after Uchiha Yue's battle near Mandarin Fish Town, a Root intelligence report arrived in Konoha and reached Shimura Danzō.
