Chapter Summaries

Natsume tricked Otsutsuki Hishiki into lowering his guard, then used the [Quest Scroll] to summon Lord Jashin and repair himself. Lord Jashin and Hishiki began a fierce battle, leaving Natsume waiting at a safe distance for a chance to exploit the outcome.

• Natsume handed over the [Quest Scroll], detonating the stored [Residual Jashin Power] and provoking Lord Jashin to intervene.
• Natsume switched to the [Pseudo-God Body], recovered his strength, and regenerated his legs.
• Lord Jashin projected his power through the sacrificial passage and attacked Otsutsuki Hishiki, who realized Natsume had deceived him and fought back.
• Natsume retreated a thousand meters from the distorted battlefield as Lord Jashin and Hishiki clashed at overwhelming power.
• Natsume considered letting the two enemies weaken each other so he could escape or attack the survivor.

Otsutsuki Hishiki severed Jashin’s sacrificial passage but suffered severe injuries and soul corruption, then turned his rage on Natsume. Natsume revealed that he had been charging his hidden right-eye Mangekyō Sharingan ability, [Candle Yin], and activated it against Hishiki.

• Otsutsuki Hishiki shattered the [Task Scroll], severing Jashin’s sacrificial passage and forcing Jashin’s consciousness to withdraw.

• Natsume admitted he could not defeat Hishiki in a direct fight, while both men secretly gathered strength and Hishiki tried to suppress the soul corruption.
• Natsume declared he had no Otsutsuki master and activated his right-eye dojutsu, [Candle Yin].

Natsume used his right-eye ability, [Candle Yin], to summon his self from five years in the future, paying an enormous cost to bring a stronger version of himself into the battle against Otsutsuki Hishiki.

After awakening amid the wreckage of the destroyed Moon, Natsume discovered that his future self had defeated Otsutsuki Hishiki and left him a Soul Crystal containing Hishiki’s soul. Too injured to absorb it safely, Natsume turned to collecting the vast residue of the Evil God’s power left on the battlefield.

• Natsume regained control of his body and found himself floating among the shattered remains of the Moon, with rifts in space slowly healing nearby.
• Natsume found a Soul Crystal left by his future self and learned it could let him control Hishiki’s soul, access his memories, and impersonate him within the Otsutsuki Main Family.
• Natsume decided to postpone absorbing the crystal until he had recovered, since his chakra and ocular power were nearly exhausted and his body was badly injured.
• Natsume took Chakra Recovery Pills and noticed a huge field of Residual Evil God Power where the Evil God and Hishiki had fought.
• Natsume flew toward the residue and began gathering it, hoping to strengthen his own power and later empower Hidan.

Natsume sealed the vast Jashin power residue in a Life-Generating Jewel, then awakened his Rinnegan to restore his blinded right eye. He used his new eyes to begin rebuilding the destroyed Moon.

• Natsume released his suppression of the Rinnegan, completing its awakening and restoring sight to his blinded right eye.
• Natsume used Planetary Devastation to draw shattered meteors together and form a new Moon.

• Hashirama noticed Natsume's Rinnegan and celebrated his victory, believing Natsume had saved the Ninja World.

After defeating Otsutsuki Hishiki, Natsume gathered the survivors and proposed replacing the divided ninja village system with a Ninja World Grand Alliance under his protection. The chapter ended with him asking who agreed and who opposed as his formidable allies assembled behind him.

• Kaguya and the Sage of Six Paths appeared, and Natsume told them he had killed Otsutsuki Hishiki and would take charge of the Ninja World.
• Kaguya rejoiced at Hishiki's death and hoped Natsume could remove the main family Soul Beacon embedded in her soul.
• Natsume awakened the surviving Ninjas, who thanked him and the Flame Hidden Village for saving the Ninja World.
• Natsume argued that the Ninja World remained vulnerable to future Otsutsuki threats and proposed abolishing the fragmented ninja village system.
• With Kaguya, Godzilla, Ghidorah, the five Tailed Beasts, and Flame Hidden ninja behind him, Natsume asked the gathered leaders who agreed and who opposed.

Natsume secured support for his Ninja World Grand Alliance by offering protection and the revival of fallen loved ones, then arranged for the surviving villagers to be resettled near the Flame Hidden Village. After the relocation, Uchiha Izuna arrived in his Impure World state and met Natsume.

• Natsume proposed the Ninja World Grand Alliance, and most survivors agreed to join after he offered to revive their deceased relatives in exchange for payment and contributions.
• Natsume sent Fukagawa and Nichiyo to prepare a refugee reception area and assigned Senju Hashirama to oversee settlement after giving him an Impure World body.
• Yanhide, Hashirama, and the others cleared the battlefield and moved most refugees to the temporary settlement, where Godzilla and King Ghidorah stood guard.
• Uchiha Izuna, still bound to his Impure World body despite Tobirama's death, came to meet Hashirama and Natsume and was surprised by Natsume's youth.

Natsume learned that Izuna had preserved Tobirama’s Soul Cocoon, giving Hashirama a chance to revive his brother. Natsume proposed that Kaguya cultivate it instead of burdening the Pure Land, then suggested she should be compensated for the effort.

• Izuna excitedly questioned Natsume about the Uchiha Clan and greeted him as an outstanding descendant.
• Izuna explained that Tobirama had entrusted him with Hashirama’s jade-green chakra pendant, which contained a Soul Cocoon meant to enable Tobirama’s resurrection.
• Hashirama thanked Izuna after learning Tobirama had prepared a backup plan in case he died in the final battle.
• Natsume explained that Tobirama’s Soul Cocoon needed immense soul power to recover and warned that the Sage of Six Paths’s help could burden the Pure Land.
• Natsume proposed that Kaguya cultivate Tobirama’s Soul Cocoon and reminded Hashirama that her effort should not go unrewarded.

Natsume used Hashirama’s prestige to strengthen the Ninja World Grand Alliance, then entered his Primordial Space and devoured Hishiki’s Soul Crystal. He survived the surge of soul power and received control of Hishiki’s soul fragment along with a limited set of memories, including knowledge of Shrine.

• Natsume asked Hashirama to suppress separatists, and Hashirama agreed to maintain the Grand Alliance’s stability.

• The Sage of Six Paths returned to the Pure Land, and Kaguya returned to her Origin Sphere Space to recover her chakra.
• Natsume entered his Primordial Space, activated the formulas on the Hishiki Soul Crystal, and began devouring Hishiki’s soul.
• Natsume endured the immense soul power and a brief influx of memories before the process stopped, leaving him with control of Hishiki’s soul fragment and selected knowledge, including the secret technique Shrine.

Natsume sorted through Otsutsuki Hishiki’s memories, gained valuable intelligence and secret techniques, and learned the first level of Shrine. As the system announced an upgrade after his cumulative spending reached 1,000,000 Gold Coins, he had not yet tested the technique or removed the curse on his soul.

• Natsume organized Hishiki’s memories and discovered intelligence, subordinate records, combat experience, and powerful secret techniques.
• Natsume recognized the demigod-level soul clone as his greatest prize and reshaped it to imitate Hishiki perfectly.

• The system announced an upgrade after Natsume’s cumulative spending reached 1,000,000 Gold Coins.

Natsume discovered that his system upgrade had added modules for recycling valuable items into Gold Coins and manipulating abilities, though the upgrade had partly failed. He removed Ōtsutsuki Xingye’s soul curse, then began recycling Ōtsutsuki loot and gained 560,000 Gold Coins from three Chakra Pellets.

• Natsume found that spending one million Gold Coins had triggered a system upgrade, which added the Gold Coin Exchange Module and Ability Loading Module despite failing to load some functions.

• Natsume recycled three Chakra Pellets, earning 560,000 Gold Coins.

• Natsume complained that the system had taken a twenty-percent cut when he recycled three Chakra Pills, but decided the convenience was worth it.
• He recycled a Dragon Palace Box and a pile of miscellaneous loot, including a damaged Dictator Button, for 138,125 Gold Coins.
• Natsume recycled thirteen rare skills and secret techniques from Otsutsuki Hishiki’s memories for 3.2 million Gold Coins.
• Natsume’s balance reached 4,012,285 Gold Coins, and he looked forward to plundering Otsutsuki Hishiki’s fortune and the wealth of the Otsutsuki Main Family.

Natsume tested the new Ability Loading Module and copied six powerful ocular abilities onto himself, freeing them from their original eyes. With the abilities secured and four million coins still at his disposal, he turned to the System Shop to buy a Type III God Tree Fruit.

• Natsume spent coins to copy Dual Kamui from the Mangekyō Sharingan in his palm and loaded the ability onto his body.
• Natsume copied Sukunahikona and Daikokuten from the Golden Wheel Eye, then copied Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, and Tenseigan Chakra Mode from the Tenseigan.
• Natsume copied Future Sight from the Jōgan, allowing him to see possible changes around him over the next five seconds.
• Natsume counted the six abilities he had acquired and considered testing whether the module could copy abilities onto weapons, items, or other people.
• Natsume looked toward the System Shop and prepared to exchange coins for a Type III God Tree Fruit.

After absorbing a Type III God Tree Fruit, Natsume advanced to Pseudo-God Third Stage and created a powerful physical clone of Otsutsuki Hishiki. He planned to use the clone to test whether Kaguya could recognize it and to help remove her Soul Beacon.

• Natsume absorbed a Type III God Tree Fruit, reached Pseudo-God Third Stage, and assessed his strength and possible paths to Pseudo-God Peak.
• Natsume used Karma to imprint Hishiki's data onto Isshiki's Ten-Tails Concentrate and charged it with chakra from the last Ten-Tails War Beast.

• Natsume installed a Jōgan and a Tenseigan in the clone's eye sockets to make it look more convincing.
• Natsume decided to take the clone to Kaguya to see if she could detect the deception and to try removing her Soul Beacon.

Kaguya recovered her chakra in the Origin Sphere Space, then mistook Natsume’s Hishiki clone for the real Otsutsuki elder and tried to flee. Natsume exposed the impersonation after stopping her escape, leaving Kaguya stunned and giving him a chance to ask her to help improve his act.

• Kaguya used Hagoromo’s Chakra Refinement Method to recover her chakra and wondered whether Hishiki had taken control of Natsume.
• The real-seeming Hishiki appeared in the Origin Sphere Space, and Kaguya opened a Yomotsu Hirasaka portal to escape.
• Natsume used Wave God Power to disrupt Kaguya’s portal and seize her by the neck through the Hishiki clone.
• Kaguya began compressing her chakra to fight back, but noticed the figure’s behavior and realized he was not Hishiki.
• Natsume released Kaguya, emerged from the clone, and returned to his original size, leaving her astonished that he had made Hishiki into a clone.
• Natsume recognized that his demeanor had exposed his impersonation and intended to have Kaguya help him identify its flaws.

Natsume removed the Soul Beacon from Kaguya and secured her agreement to work for him for ten years. He planned to return to the Otsutsuki Main Family disguised as Hishiki after preparing the Ninja World and faking Kaguya’s death.

• Natsume used [Shrine] to enter Kaguya’s soul and identified her Soul Beacon as an unfinished curse that let the Main Family locate her.
• Natsume removed the beacon, and Kaguya thanked him for freeing her from the Main Family’s tracking.
• Natsume asked Kaguya to work for him for ten years, and she agreed.
• Kaguya asked whether Natsume would return to the Main Family, and he said he would after handling postwar matters, recruiting spies for Obito and Madara, and faking her death.

Otsutsuki Xingye discovered Kaguya’s apparent death and, through her bracelet, saw a scene staged by Natsume and Kaguya before Otsutsuki Hishiki took the bracelet. Natsume recycled the bracelet and told Kaguya that the Otsutsuki Main Family would believe she was dead, leaving her free from pursuit.

• Otsutsuki Xingye sensed that the Soul Curse on Kaguya’s male pet had vanished and concluded he was dead.
• Otsutsuki Xingye activated her bracelet and saw Kaguya seemingly consumed by evil energy before Otsutsuki Hishiki seized the bracelet and cut off the feed.
• Otsutsuki Xingye suspected Otsutsuki Hishiki and the evil energy might be connected to Kaguya’s death, while worrying he could use the bracelet against her.
• Natsume confirmed the bracelet had surveillance abilities and recycled the Divine Treasure into the system for 16,000 gold coins.
• Natsume absorbed the Jashin Energy Residue, brought Kaguya out, and explained that the Otsutsuki Main Family would consider her dead and blame the deaths on Jashin.

Otsutsuki Xingye gave up on immediately investigating Kaguya’s supposed fall, while Natsume concealed Kaguya and continued building the Ninja World Grand Alliance. As the alliance grew, the conflict between ninjas and the Daimyo nations escalated, and Izuna approved of Natsume’s strategy.

• Otsutsuki Xingye decided to wait for Otsutsuki Hishiki to return before acting, and vowed to make him pay if he could not explain Kaguya’s fall.
• Natsume and Kaguya returned to the Ninja World, where Kaguya hid her true body in her [Origin Sphere Space] and used a clone to move about.

• Uchiha Izuna asked whether Natsume had provoked the unrest, and Natsume explained that he had nudged existing tensions between ninjas and the nations.
• Izuna praised Natsume’s approach and wondered when he would get to see his elder brother again.

Natsume assembled a high-risk undercover support squad to infiltrate the Otsutsuki, reviving Izuna and giving him Tenseigan eyes along the way. He also recruited two medical ninja to support Kabuto, then prepared the team for its dangerous mission.

• Natsume revived Uchiha Izuna, replaced his eyes with the Tenseigan, and watched him master Tenseigan Chakra Mode and begin developing a new Susanoo form.
• Natsume recruited Izuna, Hyuga Fukagawa, Jiraiya, Hatake Kakashi, Sasori, Second Tsuchikage Mu, and Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu for the undercover combat support squad.

• Natsume learned that medically skilled slaves were valued by the Otsutsuki and chose Sukui and Shi to support Kabuto.
