Chapter Summaries

Natsume manipulated Obito’s love for Rin into agreeing to risk infiltrating the Otsutsuki Main Family in search of a God Tree Fruit that could make her immortal. Obito learned that Natsume and Kaguya planned to disguise themselves and bring spies into the Otsutsuki slave ranks, and he agreed to join the dangerous mission.

• Natsume accused Obito of being unwilling to sacrifice for Rin, and Obito swore he would do anything to obtain a God Tree Fruit for her.
• Natsume recognized that Obito’s desperation could be useful and explained that the fruit was too costly for him to buy outright.

• Natsume explained that Obito could join the group as a spy among the Otsutsuki slaves, where he might find a God Tree Fruit or another path to immortality for Rin.

Natsume persuaded Obito to infiltrate the Otsutsuki Main Family in pursuit of God Tree Fruits, and Madara considered joining him to gain strength. Natsume then led Obito and Madara to track down Kakuzu near Iwagakure and teleported the group there.

• Natsume offered Obito a chance to infiltrate the Otsutsuki Main Family and steal a God Tree Fruit, then sent Rin Nohara's soul back to the Pure Land.
• Obito accepted the mission, determined to obtain God Tree Fruits for himself and Rin, while Madara privately weighed whether to go undercover too.
• Natsume planned to tempt Madara into joining the infiltration, believing Madara's strength could bring greater rewards.

• Natsume used the Flying Thunder God to teleport Obito, Madara, and the others to Iwagakure.

As Iwagakure struggled with stalled aid and food shortages, Kakuzu made a fortune selling flatbreads to its refugees. Natsume, Obito, and Madara recruited him to manage Flame Hidden Village’s finances, recovered his hidden savings, and Natsume converted the money into Gold Coins.

• Iwagakure faced severe hardship after the Land of Earth halted most of its promised aid, leaving villagers short of food and shelter.
• Kakuzu sold flatbreads outside Iwagakure, accepting money, jewelry, gemstones, and ores from hungry villagers.
• Natsume, Obito, and Madara watched Kakuzu’s business, then waited until he finished selling before confronting him.

• Kakuzu led Natsume and the others to five hiding places, where they recovered his five hundred million taels.
• Natsume drained the recovered money for Value Points and exchanged them for 51,400 Gold Coins, bringing his balance to 56,076.

Natsume brought Madara and Obito to the flourishing Flame Hidden Village, then arranged for Kakuzu to learn its finances under Uncle Toh. Sunagakure paid 460 million ryo in Gold Dust to ransom Gaara and its jonin, unaware that Gaara no longer held the One-Tail; meanwhile, Madara and Obito unexpectedly encountered Fugaku, Itachi, and Sasuke.

• Natsume had Nichiyo escort Madara and Obito around the village and keep watch on them while he settled Kakuzu in.
• Natsume assigned Kakuzu to learn the village’s financial system under Uncle Toh, intending for him to manage outside investments while the elders handled village spending.
• Sunagakure ransomed Gaara and its jonin for 460 million ryo in Gold Dust, not knowing the One-Tail was already gone from Gaara.
• Natsume and Kakuzu admired the Gold Dust while Madara and Obito ran into Fugaku, Itachi, and Sasuke during a breakfast outing.

Madara confronted Fugaku, Itachi, and Sasuke, then overpowered their attempts to fight back while berating them as foolish descendants. The confrontation ended with Madara summoning a towering Complete Body Susanoo, leaving Fugaku stunned.

• Madara ignored Uchiha Nichiyo’s attempt to stop him and advanced on Fugaku, Itachi, and Sasuke.
• Madara’s Limbo Shadow struck Fugaku and sent him flying, so Fugaku urged Itachi to escape with Sasuke.

• A Limbo Shadow punched Itachi into paralysis, while Sasuke stood in front of his brother, unable to see the attacker.
• Fugaku unleashed his third-form Susanoo, but Madara summoned a Complete Body Susanoo more than ten times larger, leaving Fugaku bewildered.

Natsume and Madara confronted Fugaku after Madara’s fight with the Uchiha family, and Fugaku agreed to pay for the destruction and discipline Itachi. Natsume then set out with Madara and the others to use Kaguya’s power to reach another planet and search for a place to plant the Divine Tree.

• After eating Mikoto’s cooking, Natsume left with Madara and the others to use Kaguya’s Yomotsu Hirasaka to travel to another planet and find a place to plant the Divine Tree.

Natsume and his companions traveled through Kaguya’s portal to a distant planet in search of a suitable place to plant the Divine Tree. They found a barren world of liquid nitrogen, marked it as a possible trap, and prepared to continue exploring.

• Natsume removed Kaguya’s Black Receivers and gathered the group, while Madara gave Obito a chakra robe for protection.
• Kaguya opened [Yomotsu Hirasaka], and the group crossed three light-years to a planet, arriving high above its surface.
• Natsume discovered the planet’s intense radiation and shielded himself and Kaguya with chakra cloaks.
• Natsume determined that the planet’s oceans were liquid nitrogen and its surface was too cold and lifeless to support a fruitful Divine Tree.
• Natsume planted a Flying Thunder God marker in the planet’s frozen surface before the group left to explore another planet.

Natsume and his companions explored distant planets until they found an Earth-like world covered in towering forests, then encountered a powerful creature inside a lightning storm. Madara flew out to fight it, and Natsume recognized the three-headed golden dragon as Ghidorah.

• Natsume used the Ukiyo-e Orb to shield the group as they explored strange planets across the universe.
• Kaguya’s repeated use of Yomotsu Hirasaka drained the group’s chakra and slowed their journey.
• On their eighty-fourth teleportation, the group arrived at a life-bearing planet with oxygen-rich air and dense forests of enormous redwoods.
• Natsume and Madara decided to send clones to scout the planet, but a fast-moving thunderstorm approached with a powerful life force inside it.
• Madara flew toward the storm to confront the creature while Natsume warned him to retreat if he could not win.
• A three-headed, golden-scaled dragon emerged from the thunderclouds, and Natsume identified it as Ghidorah.

Madara fought Ghidorah, whose three heads and immense durability made it difficult to control or damage. He severed one head with Susanoo and continued attacking amid Ghidorah’s lightning barrage, determined to capture the monster alive.

• Natsume told Kaguya and Obito that he knew Ghidorah from a dream.
• Madara tried to control Ghidorah with genjutsu, but its other heads disrupted the illusion and woke the middle head.

• Madara flew in close and severed Ghidorah’s second head with Susanoo’s blades.
• Ghidorah unleashed a storm of gravitational lightning, but Madara held its middle head and kept attacking, determined to capture it alive.

Madara fought to capture Ghidorah, whose rapid regeneration and strength made it a formidable opponent, while Natsume and the others assessed its power. Just as Madara seemed close to victory, Godzilla attacked with its Atomic Breath, striking both combatants.

• Madara severed two of Ghidorah’s heads, but they regrew within seconds, impressing him and strengthening his resolve to capture the monster alive.
• Ghidorah tried to flee, but Madara used Banshō Ten'in to slow it and trapped it in Susanoo’s arms, tearing at it as it struggled to regenerate.
• Natsume and the others judged Ghidorah stronger than the Nine-Tails but weaker than the complete Ten-Tails, and Natsume mused about having it as a mount.
• Godzilla fired its Atomic Breath at Madara’s Susanoo and Ghidorah, joining the battle.

Madara, Natsume, and Godzilla clashed as Godzilla’s Atomic Breath badly wounded Ghidorah. Natsume drove Madara away from Godzilla and tempted the enraged monster with radioactive uranium ore, but Godzilla resisted the bait.

• Godzilla’s Atomic Breath melted Ghidorah’s armor and damaged Madara’s Susanoo, forcing Madara to retreat to the ground with Ghidorah.
• Madara sent a Limbo Shadow Susanoo after Godzilla, but Natsume arrived and kicked it away to claim Godzilla for himself.
• Godzilla charged an Atomic Ray at Natsume, who slapped its mouth aside before it could fire.
• Natsume showed Godzilla a massive chunk of radioactive uranium ore, which tempted the radiation-eating monster.
• Godzilla shook its head and tried to resist the uranium, determined not to be enslaved.

Natsume tamed Godzilla with a radiation-enhanced uranium snack and brought him to Madara, who was still trying to subdue Ghidorah. Natsume suggested feeding Ghidorah chakra through Susanoo, and Madara let the monster bite it to test whether it could absorb chakra.

• Natsume dispelled Susanoo, sat on Godzilla's head, and kept him docile with a uranium snack and genjutsu suggestions.
• Natsume recalled finding a deep uranium deposit, then enhancing the ore's radiation with Daylight's plasma stream to tempt Godzilla.
• Natsume brought Godzilla toward Madara, who was still battling Ghidorah and grew anxious that Natsume might claim the monster first.
• Godzilla gleefully watched Madara torment Ghidorah and felt better about his own arrangement with Natsume.
• Natsume advised Madara to let Ghidorah bite Susanoo and absorb chakra, so Madara stopped restraining it and allowed the test.

Natsume promised to make the tree bear fruit within a week, then returned to Konoha with Madara, Godzilla, and Ghidorah to collect the military budget.

• Kaguya planted the Ten-Tails, which quickly grew into a Divine Tree sapling, and Natsume promised to make it bear fruit within a week.

• Godzilla's rough landing outside Konoha shook the ground and damaged rebuilt houses, terrifying hundreds of villagers.
• Madara urged Ghidorah to roar at the crowd while Natsume recovered his chakra and planned to collect Konoha's five-billion military budget.

Madara brought Ghidorah and Godzilla to Konoha to show off, and Ghidorah’s attack left Hashirama battered and the Hokage Building damaged. After Tobirama was electrocuted while inspecting Ghidorah, Natsume turned the gathering to business and demanded the promised military funds.

• Tsunade saw the monsters outside Konoha and ordered the village to summon Hashirama and Tobirama.
• Hashirama and Tobirama returned from the Land of Lightning with ten carts of silver, and Ghidorah struck Hashirama with a golden lightning blast.

• Natsume used Godzilla’s Atomic Ray to pressure Hashirama and Tobirama, and Tobirama returned with the remaining money to pay Natsume five billion.
• Natsume absorbed the hundred carts of silver into the Kamui Dimension and left Hashirama and Tobirama behind as they resumed their dance battle.

Natsume converted his recent earnings into Gold Coins and spent 500,000 on a Type II God Tree Fruit to prepare for entering the Otsutsuki Main Family. After absorbing it, he gained greatly increased chakra and physique, two space-time abilities, and a more powerful indestructible soul, leaving him confident in his strength but saving his remaining Gold Coins for the Divine Tree.

After absorbing a second God Tree Fruit, Natsume visited Orochimaru to collect the repaired Tenseigan and check on the vessels being prepared for Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. He accelerated one vessel’s Karma until it became a flawless Isshiki clone, then left the other vessel to be completed within three days as the story moved closer to the expedition against the Ōtsutsuki Main Family.

• Natsume healed Fukagawa after he replaced his eyes with the Tenseigan, and Fukagawa activated them to gain a dramatic boost in chakra and a blue-white chakra cloak.
• Fukagawa burned his eyes when he tried to look directly at Natsume, whose chakra appeared overwhelmingly bright through the Tenseigan; Natsume healed him and explained the danger.
