Chapter Summaries

Natsume absorbed the power Hidan gained through sacrifices, then traveled to Monster Planet with Orochimaru. He sent Orochimaru to capture a giant snake while he flew toward Kaguya and the Divine Tree.

• Natsume sensed Hidan's sacrifice had greatly increased the sealed Jashin Power Residue and returned one-tenth of its power to him as a reward.
• Natsume adjusted the seal on the Kunwu Blade so future sacrifices could enter without him reopening it.
• After bathing and eating, Natsume visited Otogakure and brought Orochimaru to Monster Planet, leaving clones to watch the experimental base.
• Orochimaru marveled at the unfamiliar world, and Natsume directed him to a giant snake monster with one of his clones waiting to help capture it.
• After Orochimaru headed southwest, Natsume flew toward Kaguya and the Divine Tree.

Natsume used two Type I God Tree Fruits and an Ōtsutsuki Isshiki Clone to force the God Tree to mature and produce a Chakra Fruit. Kaguya was stunned by Natsume’s methods and began to believe they could defeat the Otsutsuki Main Family.

• Natsume returned to the God Tree site and found the sapling had grown over three hundred meters tall in one day.
• Natsume exchanged a Type I God Tree Fruit and fed it to the God Tree, which grew past a thousand meters and reached maturity.
• Natsume sacrificed the Ōtsutsuki Isshiki Clone to the God Tree, causing it to blossom, but the first fruit’s remaining energy was insufficient to produce a Chakra Fruit.
• Natsume exchanged a second Type I God Tree Fruit and fed it to the God Tree, which quickly produced a Chakra Fruit.
• Kaguya was amazed by Natsume’s supply of fruits and secretly concluded that following him might give them a chance to defeat the Otsutsuki Main Family.

Natsume harvested a low-grade [Chakra Fruit] from the God Tree, confirming it held Otsutsuki genetic factors and could serve as proof for his mission. Obito returned with a monster egg, and Natsume ordered him to take it back to the Ninja World and prepare for the infiltration.

• Natsume pulled the newly formed [Chakra Fruit] from the God Tree and learned from Kaguya that it was a low-grade fruit containing abundant Otsutsuki genetic factors.
• Natsume sealed the fruit in a [Truth-Seeking Orb] box so it could not fly toward Kaguya.
• Obito returned with five Shadow Clones carrying a giant monster egg he had stolen after being chased for hundreds of miles.
• Obito became entranced by the [Chakra Fruit] and asked to touch it, but Natsume refused and said he would give it to him only if he wiped out the Otsutsuki Main Family.
• Natsume told Obito to return to the Ninja World and make final preparations before the one-month deadline, and he warned him to keep the egg away from old Madara.

Natsume arranged a backup settlement on Monster Planet and asked the Sage of Six Paths for a nascent alternate dimension. He obtained the prepared dimension seed, leaving him ready to shape a refuge of his own.

• Natsume sent Konan and Uncle Toh to assemble a thirty-person construction team and supplies for a reserve base on Monster Planet.
• Konan and Uncle Toh accepted the order and began gathering workers and listing the resources they would need.
• Natsume entered the consciousness space and asked the Sage of Six Paths whether the prototype alternate space was ready.
• The Sage of Six Paths gave Natsume a shrunken Expansive Truth-Seeking Orb, a seed that could grow into a new alternate dimension.

Natsume created the Primordial Space as a refuge for his clansmen and returned to the Flame Hidden Village the next day. At Silver Mine No. 2, Deidara managed the mining operation until Natsume suddenly appeared behind him.

• Natsume left the Sage of Six Paths and used his chakra to transform the Prototype of an Alternate Space into the Primordial Space.
• Natsume shaped the Primordial Space to resemble the Ninja World, strengthened its Yang-nature chakra, and planned to develop it as an ultimate refuge.
• Natsume returned to the Ninja World, ate lunch at home, and hurried to Silver Mine No. 2.
• Deidara used his Clay Bombs to clear a blocked tunnel while directing the miners and enjoying his role as a contractor.
• Natsume teased Deidara from behind, startling him into leaping out of his chair.

Natsume ordered Deidara to lead a rush excavation of a uranium mine, tempting him with the ore’s explosive potential despite Deidara’s objections. After the operation began, Natsume returned to the village to finish assembling the expedition team, with Kabuto the only member still to be recruited.

• Natsume told Deidara to excavate half of a uranium vein in three days, promising manpower, support, and a generous reward.
• Deidara refused after learning the glowing ore was uranium, but Natsume pointed out that he had no choice and claimed enriched uranium could outmatch Clay Bombs.
• Deidara eagerly led hundreds of miners at the uranium site, while Natsume planned to store the ore in the Kamui Dimension as Godzilla’s food and a last-resort weapon.
• Natsume left clones to assist the miners and returned to the village, where he prepared to recruit Kabuto for the expedition team.

The Orphanage’s medical center had become self-sustaining, and Kabuto had grown happier while helping treat patients. Natsume asked Nonō to send Kabuto to speak with him about a dangerous mission, but promised not to force him to accept it.

• The Orphanage treated patients while training its orphans in medical ninjutsu, earning villagers’ trust and enough funds to support itself.
• Kabuto treated Zabuza’s injured backside, and Haku watched from hiding, determined to learn medical ninjutsu.
• Natsume and Nonō discussed sending Kabuto on a dangerous infiltration mission, and Nonō said she would let him choose for himself.
• Natsume told Nonō to send Kabuto to him and assured her he would not force him to go.
• Nonō handed the treatment work over to Kabuto, who went upstairs to meet Natsume.

Kabuto agreed to join Natsume’s expedition, and after three days of preparations, Natsume, Kabuto, Obito, and Madara departed to face the Otsutsuki threat. Hashirama stayed behind, while Tobirama abandoned his plan to exploit their absence after Flame Hidden Village’s Uchiha forces confronted him.

• Kabuto accepted Natsume’s mission and prepared to leave with the expedition in three days.
• Natsume arranged for the two Uchiha films to be released across the Ninja World after the group departed, using them to earn money and spread information about the Otsutsuki Clan.
• Hashirama and Madara sparred for three days, and Hashirama’s power rose close to Madara’s as their battle alarmed the other ninja villages.
• Natsume gathered uranium ore, left village affairs and emergency measures in the hands of Tsukihime, Nichiyo, and Fukagawa, then departed with Kabuto, Obito, and Madara using Flying Thunder God.
• After Natsume and Madara left, Tobirama considered attacking Flame Hidden Village, but Hashirama objected and more than a hundred Uchiha, including several Mangekyō users, appeared at the village entrance and deterred him.

Natsume and Kaguya prepared to travel to the Otsutsuki Main Family, using an Isshiki clone and covert soul communication to conceal their identities. After the group departed through Kaguya’s portal, the new base on Monster Planet remained under construction and guarded by the second Ten-Tails.

• Natsume and the others arrived at Monster Planet, where the new base was taking shape and Kaguya’s second Ten-Tails guarded the perimeter.
• Natsume transformed an Isshiki clone into a convincing disguise, restored its Golden Wheel Eye, and controlled it from within its shrunken body.
• Kaguya warned Natsume to be cautious, and he instructed Kabuto, Obito, and Madara to act as Isshiki’s slaves.
• Natsume established covert soul communication channels with Kaguya, Madara, Kabuto, and Obito.
• Kaguya opened a Yomotsu Hirasaka portal, and the group set off for the Otsutsuki Main Family.

Natsume’s group reached the Otsutsuki Main Family’s hidden stronghold, where he used an Isshiki clone and a Chakra Fruit to convince Momoshiki that Isshiki and Kaguya remained loyal. Momoshiki escorted them through the nebula passage to meet Lord Nisshiki.

• Kaguya opened Yomotsu Hirasaka repeatedly, carrying Natsume’s group across more than ten thousand light-years to the Main Family’s nebula.
• Kaguya explained that the nebula concealed the stronghold and that only a shifting passage could safely lead inside.
• Momoshiki, Kinshiki, Urashiki, and Otsutsuki Steel Style emerged from a portal and questioned Isshiki about Kaguya, his injuries, and the people with them.
• Natsume’s Isshiki clone claimed Kaguya had eaten a Chakra Fruit to defend the Divine Tree and presented another fruit as proof of their loyalty.
• Natsume explained that Madara carried the Ten-Tails and defended bringing him as a slave, while Madara silently added Momoshiki to his kill list.
• Momoshiki led Natsume’s group through the nebula passage toward Lord Nisshiki.

Natsume arrived with Momoshiki at the Otsutsuki Main Family’s lair, the Shiki Origin Realm, and learned how its vast society and Dragon Palace City operated. He met Otsutsuki Hishiki, whose overwhelming power made clear that Natsume could not defeat him in a direct confrontation.

• Natsume and his companions arrived at the immense landmass of the Shiki Origin Realm, where Kaguya, Madara, Obito, and the other slave were separated from him.
• Natsume used the Mind Technique to encourage Obito and the others as they were sent to a slave training camp.
• Natsume followed Momoshiki through the Shiki Origin Realm and learned about the Otsutsuki Main Family, its territories, and Dragon Palace City.
• Natsume and Momoshiki entered one of the towers guarding the Royal City, where Momoshiki reported their mission to Otsutsuki Hishiki.
• Hishiki looked at Natsume with overwhelming authority, and Natsume realized that he was far too powerful to face directly.

Natsume, disguised as Isshiki, convinced Otsutsuki Hishiki that the planting mission had failed because powerful natives and monsters attacked, using prepared memory fragments as evidence. Hishiki spared him but then tested him with a secret order that Natsume did not know about, leaving his cover in immediate danger.

• Natsume presented the Chakra Fruit and reported that local natives and monsters had disrupted the Divine Tree mission.
• Natsume showed Hishiki three sealed memory fragments depicting Hashirama, Godzilla and Ghidorah, and an attack from space.
• Natsume explained that the natives had stolen chakra and created Tailed Beasts, and Momoshiki confirmed seeing the Ten-Tails sealed inside Madara.
• Hishiki accepted Natsume's account, waived his punishment, denied him mission contribution, and ordered him to restore his Byakugan at the Gene Pool.
• Momoshiki prompted Hishiki to address the planet, and Hishiki decided to send someone to eliminate its natives and monsters.
• As Natsume prepared to leave, Hishiki asked about a secret order given privately to Isshiki, which Natsume did not know.

Natsume guessed that Hishiki’s secret mission had been to eliminate Kaguya and escaped the audience without being exposed. Hishiki revealed to Momoshiki that he suspected Isshiki was controlled, but planned to use him to investigate the planet and lure out the force behind him.

• Natsume told Hishiki that he had failed to eliminate Kaguya, and Hishiki let him leave without revealing whether he believed him.
• Natsume reasoned that Hishiki’s mission had been intended to weaken the royal faction by killing Kaguya, and concluded that his guess had been right.
• Momoshiki asked Hishiki whether he suspected Isshiki, and Hishiki confirmed that Isshiki was likely no longer himself.
• Hishiki explained that he had let Isshiki go so he could investigate the planet and draw out the force that had deceived him.
• Hishiki ordered Momoshiki to keep the matter secret and avoid provoking Isshiki, then sent him away.

Natsume told Kaguya that Otsutsuki Hishiki had likely noticed something was wrong with his Isshiki identity, but that his interest in Jashin should keep them safe for now. The two stayed in Kaguya’s protected palace, where Natsume learned the Ōtsutsuki Gene Pool could restore his missing Byakugan.

• Natsume waited for Kaguya instead of exploring, then went with her through a Yomotsu Hirasaka portal to her personal palace.
• Kaguya asked whether Natsume had convinced Hishiki, and Natsume explained that Hishiki had probably detected the Isshiki clone’s abnormality.
• Natsume revealed that he had deliberately shown Hishiki memories about Jashin, expecting Hishiki to conceal his suspicions and investigate Earth rather than expose them immediately.
• Kaguya trusted Natsume’s plan and agreed that they should avoid trouble while they remained in the Shiki Origin Realm.
• Natsume asked about the Gene Pool, and Kaguya explained that it used genetic data to restore missing body parts, including eyes.
• Natsume realized the Gene Pool could replace his lost Byakugan and eagerly looked forward to using it.

Natsume used Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s identity to enter the Otsutsuki Clan’s Gene Pool and discovered he could repeatedly harvest the restored Byakugan from Isshiki’s clone. After collecting several eyes, he began considering how to speed up the process.

• Natsume entered the Gene Pool alone after the guards verified Isshiki’s identity.
• The Gene Pool restored a high-quality Byakugan in Isshiki’s missing left eye socket.
• Natsume removed the restored Byakugan and stored it in Primordial Space, then used the pool to restore another.
• Natsume repeatedly removed and regrew the eye, collecting several Byakugan in about a minute.
• Natsume realized the process was inefficient and thought of a way to get around the room’s one-body-at-a-time limit.

Natsume discovered that shadow clones could trick the Gene Pool into restoring their Byakugan, then used Isshiki’s identity to exploit the facility. He left with over a thousand high-purity Byakugan and turned his attention to stealing its regeneration technology and Ōtsutsuki gene reserves.

• Natsume tested a shadow clone in a Repair Room and confirmed that the Gene Pool restored its Byakugan.
• Natsume secretly explored the Gene Pool and found that it had no surveillance inside and was lightly guarded.
• Natsume created over a hundred Shadow Clones and sent them to occupy Repair Rooms and replicate Byakugan.
• Natsume’s clones obtained over a thousand high-purity Byakugan in less than ten minutes, while guards noticed the energy use but chose not to investigate.
• Natsume considered the Gene Pool’s Karma-based regeneration technology and Ōtsutsuki gene reserves and decided to try stealing them.

Natsume infiltrated the Otsutsuki Gene Pool and uncovered how its healing system used Karma technology, Chakra Fruits, and Ten-Tails cells. He left with the complete Karma seal formula and over a thousand sets of Otsutsuki genetic data, while the facility raised an energy-supply alarm.

• Natsume used the Spirit Transformation Technique to send his soul through the bathing pool’s energy channel and infiltrate the Gene Pool’s core.
• He learned that the Gene Pool used Chakra Fruit energy, active cells extracted from mature Ten-Tails, and Karma technology to heal injuries.
• Natsume copied the Karma seal formula and more than a thousand sets of genetic data, including samples from Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Urashiki.
• After Natsume’s Shadow Clones nearly drained the Terminal Energy Room’s Chakra Fruit, he left the Gene Pool in Isshiki’s clone body.
• The Gene Pool’s control terminal sounded an alert that its energy supply was running low and the Chakra Fruit needed replacement.

Otsutsuki Hishiki dismissed Momoshiki’s suspicions that Isshiki had taken something from the Gene Pool, choosing not to draw the Royal Family into the matter. Natsume returned with Kaguya to Isshiki’s lavishly protected Sky Garden, eager to search it for hidden valuables.

• Momoshiki told Otsutsuki Hishiki that the Gene Pool’s fruit energy had been depleted after Isshiki visited and asked to inspect its records.
• Otsutsuki Hishiki refused to investigate, reasoning that involving the Royal Family would worsen tensions with the Main Family’s High Council.
• Otsutsuki Hishiki ordered Momoshiki to keep watching Isshiki and report if he contacted any royal family member.
• Natsume returned with Kaguya to Isshiki’s Sky Garden, located more than three hundred li from the royal city.
• Natsume saw that the luxurious Floating Castle was protected by a powerful chakra barrier and hoped Isshiki had hidden valuable treasures inside.

Natsume searched Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's Floating Castle and gathered its treasures, discovering valuable chakra pellets, a Jōgan, a potent vitality solution, and an unidentified wooden ring. He also collected Isshiki's broken assortment of foreign gadgets before leaving with his haul stored in the Primordial Space.

• Natsume entered the Floating Castle because its defenses recognized his genetic match with Isshiki's clone body, then spent three hours searching it.
• Natsume moved the castle's luxury goods, including thousands of bottles of wine, into his Primordial Space.
• Natsume found three blood-red chakra pellets in Isshiki's bedroom and estimated their combined value at 700,000 Gold Coins.
• Natsume discovered a Jōgan, a powerful milky-white vitality solution, and an unfamiliar wooden ring in the castle's secret laboratory.
• Natsume collected Isshiki's mostly damaged foreign gadgets and stored them in his Primordial Space.

Kaguya learned that Natsume had drained the main family’s Gene Pool, then came face-to-face with her younger sister, Otsutsuki Xingye. Back at Isshiki’s castle, Natsume finished inventorying the vast fortune and, unable to reach Kaguya, decided to locate her before choosing whether to rescue her or flee.

• Kaguya saw a report that the main family’s Gene Pool had been temporarily shut down and realized Natsume had drained its energy without being discovered.
• Otsutsuki Xingye approached Kaguya in her bedchamber and asked what was troubling her.
• Natsume finished taking stock of Isshiki’s assets, valued at more than a million gold coins, and considered targeting Momoshiki’s fortune in the future.
• Natsume tried several times to contact Kaguya through the Soul Communication Channel but received no response.
• Natsume decided to sense Kaguya’s location and judge whether to attempt a rescue or retreat.
