Chapter Summaries

Izuna talked Otsutsuki Hoshiki into letting Madara and his group continue their mission, but Hoshiki’s search uncovered Akatsuki members who exposed Obito. Madara stayed behind to hold off the Otsutsuki warriors, and Hoshiki joined the fight just as another unexpected turn occurred.

• Izuna offered Hoshiki an apology and a way to save face, and Hoshiki let Madara and the others go while ordering his men to capture more slaves.
• Captured Akatsuki members identified Obito as the one who had ordered them to collect corpses, prompting Hoshiki to order his warriors to seize him.

• Hoshiki joined the battle, but another unexpected turn interrupted his move.

Madara’s fight with Otsutsuki Hoshiki was interrupted when a Moka breakout force threatened the Otsutsuki flank, forcing both sides to redirect their attacks. As Madara prepared to withdraw with Izuna and the others, Hashirama appeared on the battlefield and unleashed True Several Thousand Hands.

• The Maha Clan changed its assault to a C-shaped offensive, sending a force of nearly ten thousand Moka warriors through the Otsutsuki defenses to threaten the main force’s rear.
• Otsutsuki Hoshiki received orders to stop the Moka advance, but a squad of five hundred Moka warriors charged his unit and drew the Otsutsuki fighters away from Madara.

• Madara decided to retreat with Izuna and the others rather than risk being caught between the Otsutsuki and Maha forces.
• Hashirama appeared atop a giant Moka mount and used True Several Thousand Hands to smash the Monkey Rock avatars of three Otsutsuki warriors, prompting Madara to call out to him.

Hashirama and Madara fought on the same battlefield while undercover with the Maha Clan, each unaware of the other's intentions. After spotting one another, they both continued slaughtering enemies, with Madara mistaking Hashirama's actions for a challenge and starting a killing contest.

• Madara recognized Hashirama fighting with an upgraded True Several Thousand Hands and flew toward the battlefield after leaving a Shadow Clone to protect Izuna and the others.
• Hashirama used advanced immortal arts from the Maha Clan to overpower the Ōtsutsuki, reassuring the Six-Armed Mara higher-up that he was not an Ōtsutsuki spy.

• Hashirama wanted to meet Madara, but Mooncake persuaded him to keep fighting, so Hashirama attacked more Ōtsutsuki warriors.
• Madara saw Hashirama turn away and assumed he was competing to kill more enemies, so he began a slaughter contest by cutting down a Makha warrior.

Hashirama and Madara slaughtered Otsutsuki and Moka warriors on the battlefield, drawing the attention of Otsutsuki Hoshiki and Otsutsuki Keita. The pair plotted to make Hashirama and Madara fight each other, but Madara saw through their scheme and decided to play along.

• Hashirama and Madara killed scores of enemy warriors, including several high-level Six Paths fighters, while the leaders struggled to stop them.
• Otsutsuki Keita warned Otsutsuki Hoshiki that Madara's strength and battlefield merits made it unwise to treat him as an enemy.

• Otsutsuki Hoshiki and Otsutsuki Keita drew Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara closer as they prepared the final stage of their plan.

• Otsutsuki Sakito reported the Maha Clan's changing strategy to Elder Otsutsuki Hishiki, who said the war's outcome was already decided.
• Otsutsuki Sakito told Hishiki that a group was stealing corpses, and Hishiki identified it as a secret operation by the higher-ups and ordered him not to interfere.
• Otsutsuki Sakito feared Hoshiki's mission might disrupt the secret operation, so he used a soul-linking technique to warn Hoshiki to halt it.

Otsutsuki Hoshiki ignored Lord Sakito’s order to terminate the mission and continued trying to make Hashirama and Madara fight. Madara and Hashirama saw through the scheme and trapped Hoshiki and Keita in Madara’s dimensional space, beginning the sealed-space killing incident.

• Madara activated [Amenominaka] and transferred himself, Hashirama, Hoshiki, and Keita into his personal [dimensional space].

Hashirama and Madara prepared a Jashin sacrificial ritual inside the alternate space while the armies outside fought over the area where they had vanished. They returned to the battlefield with a blood sphere covered in sacrificial runes, and the ritual opened a passage to Lord Jashin.

• The Moka forces tried to locate the alternate-space coordinates and rescue Hashirama, while the Otsutsuki surrounded the area to stop them.

• Otsutsuki Sakito turned to report the ritual to the Main Family’s upper ranks, unaware that leaders on both sides were already focused on it.

Otsutsuki Hishiki learned that the Moka People had attempted a sacrifice and urged Otsutsuki Meishiki’s council to accelerate its own God-Hunting Plan. After Mohe’s leaders received proof that the Otsutsuki were harvesting battlefield corpses, they ordered their troops to recover bodies too, escalating the conflict.

• Otsutsuki Hishiki learned that the Moka People’s sacrificial ritual had been stopped and warned the Otsutsuki Main Family Council.

Otsutsuki Meishiki’s forces completed a massive blood sacrifice to open a passage to Jashin’s true body, while the Moka Clan fired its Demon God Cannon at their meteor base. Meishiki and six elders entered the passage to hunt Jashin, unaware that he was waiting for them.

• Otsutsuki Meishiki and six elders entered the newly opened passage to hunt Jashin, while Jashin prepared for their arrival.

After the Demon God Cannon destroyed the Otsutsuki sacrifice, the Moka side pressed its advantage while Otsutsuki Yufu used a rear assault to draw Moka forces away from the Demon God Weapon. The weapon’s defenses weakened, giving Otsutsuki infiltrators among the Survivors of the Netherworld a chance to act.

• The hidden Otsutsuki army attacked the Moka rear, forcing Moka’s leaders to transfer many troops away from the Demon God Weapon.
• The reduced defenses around the weapon gave Otsutsuki agents within the Moka Clan room to operate; they were Survivors of the Netherworld who had taken refuge with the Maha side.

The Naga Demon patriarch and High Priest Night Indigo agreed to betray the Moka Clan and help Otsutsuki infiltrate the [Demon God Weapon]. With their secret passage open, Otsutsuki Yufu and his forces prepared to enter through the weapon’s escape wormhole.

• Otsutsuki Yufu rejected the legion commander’s idea of charging in and explained that the spies needed to open a passage into the [Demon God Weapon].
• The Magatama Gem signaled that the entrance had opened, allowing the Otsutsuki forces to use the small wormhole inside the weapon.
• The Moka Clan’s escape route became an opening for the undercover agents to let Otsutsuki into the [Demon God Weapon].

• Otsutsuki Yufu ordered the controlled Moka operators to activate the [Core Wormhole Engine] and neutralize the [Demon God Weapon]’s gravitational field.
• Otsutsuki Yufu gave a spatial [Demigod Artifact] to the Royal Family [Archon] and ordered the entire [Demon God Weapon] transferred to the Otsutsuki Main Family’s continent.

Hashirama and Mooncake investigated explosions inside the [Demon God Weapon] and learned that Otsutsuki invaders had reached the [Main Control Room]. They arrived to find Otsutsuki Yufu defending two royal [Governors] as Moka fighters attacked the barrier, while Underworld spies pretended to help.

• Hashirama left the dining hall with Mooncake after explosions sounded and a powerful chakra presence was detected.
• Ananda warned Hashirama and Mooncake that demigod-level Otsutsuki had infiltrated the [Demon God Weapon], then assured them its gravitational field prevented further incursions.

• Hashirama and Ananda found the [Main Control Room]'s steel shell torn open, with one royal [Governor] controlling gravity and another building a spatial transfer formation.
• Otsutsuki Yufu used a defensive [Demigod Artifact] to shield the room while three Moka higher-ups and other warriors attacked the barrier; Priest Night Indigo's Underworld spies only pretended to fight.
