Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Third Raikage reflects on Sora’s former status as the greatest genius in the Land of Lightning and the central figure in his plans for Kumogakure’s future. He once envisioned Sora and A becoming complementary pillars of the village—one its public protector and the other its hidden weapon.
