Chapter Summary: “Return! Sowing Discord Within Konoha”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Uchiha Tenshu concludes that Naruto Uzumaki is no longer valuable as a source of power, since most of the Nine-Tails’ and Ashura’s essence has already been extracted. However, Naruto remains useful as a political tool because of his identities as Minato and Kushina’s son, a visitor from another world, and a potential Nine-Tails jinchūriki.
• Tenshu plans to return Naruto to Konoha, believing the village will hesitate to attack him directly because of his Uchiha identity and the power he possesses.
• Rather than sending Naruto openly to the Hokage faction, Tenshu intends to have Sai—presented as a Root ninja from another world—deliver him to Shimura Danzō.
• Tenshu expects Danzō to seize Naruto and exploit the Nine-Tails’ power, using it to challenge Hiruzen Sarutobi’s authority and strengthen Root.
• This would create a three-way power struggle within Konoha between Hiruzen, Danzō, and the Uchiha clan. Their mutual distrust would prevent them from committing their forces to pursuing Tenshu.
• Tenshu also plans for Sai to reveal information about Yamato’s Wood Release abilities and intelligence about the future, making himself valuable and trustworthy to Danzō.
