Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Yi City’s leaders debate how to investigate the growing Magic Beast threat. Zhao Hongxuan argues that gathering intelligence is necessary, but the others warn that losing even one powerful ninja could doom Base City.
  • Zhao proposes sending Su Bai, whose mysterious Mangekyō Sharingan gives him exceptional defensive abilities. Although the group believes Su Bai is suitable, Zhao’s attempt to recruit him fails because Su Bai refuses.
  • Su Bai has rejected the mission because he wants to remain at peak condition and conserve his ocular power. Instead, he travels with Little Ha to find and control the real Nine-Tails.
  • Little Ha explains that the “Tailed Beasts” on Blue Star are only artificial manifestations created from the negative chakra released by the true beasts in the Rabbit Realm. The real Tailed Beasts are intelligent beings who have been mistreated by humans for thousands of years.
  • Most of the real Tailed Beasts are controlled by powerful clans, but the Nine-Tails lives independently in a dangerous secret realm and has never been captured or controlled.
  • Su Bai and Little Ha travel through the Rabbit Realm’s southern desert toward the Nine-Tails Secret Realm, which lies hundreds of thousands of miles away.
  • Little Ha advises Su Bai to control a fake Nine-Tails instead, believing the true Nine-Tails is too powerful and intelligent. Su Bai refuses to abandon the attempt, though he is prepared to settle for a fake Tailed Beast if necessary.
  • Su Bai plans to use Mangekyō ocular power to forcibly control the Nine-Tails, relying on his knowledge of the original Naruto story and the protection of his Kamui Dimension.

Character Developments

  • Su Bai: Becomes more determined and ambitious, choosing a dangerous plan to gain the Nine-Tails’ power rather than assisting Yi City. He recognizes that he cannot win the Nine-Tails’ loyalty through persuasion like Naruto did, so he intends to dominate it through ocular power. He is also pragmatic, acknowledging that controlling a fake Nine-Tails would still help him survive the coming beast tide.
