Chapter Summaries

Chiyu and the others analyzed Otsutsuki Urashiki’s abilities and discovered that his apparent future sight might involve traveling forward in time and returning to the present. They left the discussion with a plan to exploit that ability by poisoning Urashiki.

• Chiyu, Future Sasuke, Naruto Uzumaki, Boruto Uzumaki, and Jiraiya compared what they knew about Urashiki’s chakra-stealing fishing hook, teleportation, and future sight.
• Chiyu noticed Karma on Boruto Uzumaki’s palm, but Boruto Uzumaki did not know what the mark was.

• Chiyu proposed exploiting Urashiki’s habit of using that ability, and Jiraiya identified poison as a possible way to kill him.

Chiyu and the others planned to trap Otsutsuki Urashiki in the Great Rock Toad’s stomach so its toxins could build up in his body, then provoke him into using his time-reversal ability. Jiraiya trapped Urashiki inside the toad, where Naruto Uzumaki mocked his claims and angered him.

• Jiraiya used the Toad Mouth Bind Technique to trap Urashiki inside the Great Rock Toad’s stomach.
• Urashiki dismissed the trap and claimed he could still defeat them, so Naruto Uzumaki mocked his time-reversal ability and provoked him.

Naruto Uzumaki and his allies poisoned Otsutsuki Urashiki inside the Rock Dwelling Toad’s stomach and wounded him after returning to reality. Urashiki survived by swallowing his chakra and eyes, transformed into a far more powerful form, and vowed to kill everyone while targeting Naruto Uzumaki for special torture.

Chiyu, Naruto Uzumaki, Boruto Uzumaki, Jiraiya, and Future Sasuke defeated Otsutsuki Urashiki, and Chiyu brought the dying Urashiki into the Pocket Dimension. Urashiki implanted Karma in Chiyu, but the mark faded because another Urashiki was alive in this branch world, and he died as Chiyu wondered what had happened.

• Chiyu failed to escape Urashiki's Giant Oarfish with Kamui and fought it with his Complete Body Susanoo while Boruto Uzumaki and Naruto Uzumaki formed a Super Uzumaki Rasengan.

Chiyu returned to the Hidden Sound Village to tell Orochimaru about Otsutsuki Urashiki and show him the white Karma mark on his palm.

• The White Snake Sage told Chiyu that events would begin after Naruto Uzumaki and the others turned sixteen, and that Cang Nagi would soon awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
