Chapter Summaries

Yahiko, Konan, and Kodama negotiated with Shiraha to recover Nagato, while Black Zetsu and Obito grew suspicious of Kodama and Shiraha’s connection. Nagato returned with one Rinnegan, and Shiraha turned his attention to a breakthrough in his spiritual power as Nagato later seized Amegakure.

• Yahiko agreed to seek Nagato’s release by sacrificing one Rinnegan, and Konan left to prepare Akatsuki’s compensation funds.
• Black Zetsu suspected Kodama might be working with Shiraha, while Obito considered whether he should side with Shiraha.

Hiruzen debated whether to authorize an S-Rank wanted order for the missing Uchiha Issei as Danzo pressed to exploit the crisis against the Uchiha Clan. Meanwhile, Shiraha advanced to a Second-Level Spirit Summoning Warlock, awakened new abilities and the Mangekyō Sharingan, and discovered that his Wood Spirit Avatar had awakened the same eye pattern; the avatar’s Rinnegan drew him in more strongly.

• Danzo urged Hiruzen to declare Uchiha Issei a missing-nin and retrieve the Purifying Rope, while Hiruzen worried that the order would worsen tensions with the Uchiha Clan.

• Shiraha awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and his Wood Spirit Avatar Uchiha Issei awakened an identical pattern as the avatar’s Rinnegan exerted a stronger pull on him.

Shiraha awakened the Izanagi Loop and Izanami Loop, which let him use the Uchiha’s forbidden techniques without losing his eyesight, and considered how they could support his spell research. At Naka Shrine, Chiho challenged Uchiha Fugaku’s leadership and gained Shisui’s support, leaving the clan divided over who should lead it.

• Shisui offered to use Kotoamatsukami to change Chiho and Fugaku’s minds, while Hiruzen promised gradual improvements to the Uchiha’s treatment and sent Shisui to Naka Shrine.
• After learning that Chiho had convened the Uchiha clan, Danzo sent Root members to bring Shisui to a remote waterfall and questioned what he would do if Konoha still rejected the Uchiha.
