Chapter Summaries

A Hyūga-led force cautiously explored a snowbound world, testing its abilities and tracking signs of human habitation. After finding a fortified military camp, Neji reported that its soldiers seemed ordinary but warned that their apparent weakness might be misleading.

• Iroha Hyuga organized the arriving ninjas, supplied them with cold-weather gear, and sent them east in staggered teams to scout without exposing their trail.
• Souji Hyuga’s team found human footprints, an abandoned wooden house, and weapons, prompting Iroha to increase the frequency of rest stops and send Neji ahead to assist with reconnaissance.
• After a day and night of travel, the scouts spotted a walled settlement with smoke rising from within and heard people celebrating.
• Neji used his Byakugan to inspect the settlement and reported a well-organized military camp of more than a thousand soldiers, led by a Commandant.
• Neji judged the soldiers physically ordinary and apparently weak, but cautioned that their true capabilities might be different from what he could see.

Iroha Hyūga led the ninja in a silent takeover of an Imperial border camp, then used interrogations and memory probes to learn about the Empire and its powerful Imperial Arms. After half a month of reconnaissance, the clan understood they were in another world and faced the question of how to deal with it.

• Souji Hyūga and the ninja infiltrated the camp, quietly subdued its guards, and incapacitated the soldiers with poisonous smoke.
• Iroha Hyūga ordered the camp secured, its soldiers gathered, and its captain’s memories examined while the ninja established a detection barrier.
• The interrogators learned that Daidas contacted the camp weekly, so Iroha assigned a ninja who had memorized the captain’s habits to answer the call, with Neji Hyūga coordinating.
• Mei Terumi led a team to interrogate more than a hundred higher-ranking soldiers while the others searched the camp and probed memories for information.
• The ninja fooled Daidas’s officer and spent half a month gathering intelligence about the Empire, its millions of soldiers, and the Imperial Arms used by Teigu Users such as Daidas and Esdeath.
• Iroha Hyūga concluded that the Empire’s Imperial Arms, especially Esdeath’s, were the central threat the clan needed to understand.

Iroha Hyuga and the other pioneers decided to end their first expedition after learning about the Empire’s vast population and system of governance. A month later, Ryosuke prepared to welcome them back, and Souji Hyuga returned with the team and asked permission to bring over more than a thousand captured soldiers.

• Iroha Hyuga argued that the Empire’s system could offer a model for unifying and governing the Ninja World, and the pioneers chose to wait for their return after nine more days rather than travel farther.
• Ryosuke continued studying the changing Threads of Fate and Karma, then prepared for the team’s return after bringing his body and soul into their optimal condition.
• Ryosuke and the Hyūga gathered with their allies around the Space-Time Gate as the first expedition returned, led by Souji Hyuga.
• Souji Hyuga reported that the team had captured more than a thousand soldiers from another world and asked to bring them through the gate.
• Hinata questioned how the team had captured so many soldiers without injuries, and Souji offered to let Ryosuke examine his memories.

Souji Hyuga and the returning explorers brought more than a thousand soldiers from the Teigu World through Ryosuke’s expanded Space-Time Gate, and the Hyūga inspected and imprisoned them while learning about the mission through Ryosuke’s Genjutsu. Hinata praised the explorers, declared that outsiders who had served the Hyūga would become Hyūga, and ordered each pioneer to receive a great merit and choose one treasure from the clan treasury, overruling the clan’s objections.

• Ryosuke recognized Souji Hyuga and the returning explorers as innocent, expanded the Space-Time Gate, and ordered them to bring the captured soldiers through.
• More than a thousand soldiers and the explorers’ supplies entered the Ninja World; the soldiers were imprisoned for inspection, while the explorers and their items were examined.
• Ryosuke showed the clan the explorers’ mission through Genjutsu, and Hinata asked what approach the Hyūga should take toward exploring the Teigu World.
• Hinata praised Iroha Hyuga and the pioneers, then declared that Mei Terumi, the Kirigakure ninjas, and other loyal outsiders could act under the Hyūga name as members of the clan.
• Hinata awarded each pioneer a great merit and the right to choose one treasure from the Hyūga treasury, rejecting the meeting’s protests and declaring the decision final.

Hinata began a meeting on how the Hyūga should handle the Teigu World, while Esdeath investigated the mysterious disappearance of a garrison camp. Ryosuke entered the Imperial Capital to establish the Hyūga’s presence and confronted Kalo, the son of a general accused of embezzling from the clan.

• Hinata ended the presentation of rewards and opened the meeting about what the Hyūga should do with the Teigu World, and Ryosuke supported her concerns about maintaining the clan’s loyalty.
• Daidas reported to Esdeath that two investigation units found the Second Garrison Legion’s camp empty and without signs of battle, and Esdeath ordered him to continue investigating and notify the minister.
• Ryosuke entered the Imperial Capital, where fearful civilians and guards made way for him as he advanced toward the palace.
• Ryosuke saw Kalo’s giant beast trample and kill civilians, then continued toward the general’s son without slowing.
• Kalo stopped his beast and asked Ryosuke who he was, and Ryosuke asked whether Kalo was the son of the General Pingnan who had embezzled a million in wealth from the Hyūga.

Ryosuke publicly accused the Empire’s rulers and General Pingnan of exploiting disaster victims, then challenged the Emperor’s authority in the Imperial Capital. After the Emperor ordered his death, Ryosuke declared that the Hyūga Clan would lead a rebellion, leaving the city’s forces to face his still-hidden strength.

Ryosuke’s dramatic challenge in the Imperial Capital stirred the people, while the Emperor and minister arranged to recall Esdeath and Night Raid prepared to rescue him. After escaping, Ryosuke let the Hyūga’s wider rebellion proceed under Hizashi Hyuga’s command and studied the Empire’s Qi and Blood training method, adapting it to strengthen his body.

• Bude recognized that Ryosuke’s speech aimed to inspire rebellion, while the Emperor agreed to recall Esdeath and place the capital’s guards under her command.
• Nadjeta ordered Night Raid to help Ryosuke escape, but he launched himself skyward, vanished amid the soldiers’ arrows and cannon fire, and left them stunned.
• Across the Empire’s south, Hyūga forces gathered refugees, fought foreign bandits, targeted corrupt officials, and advanced their plans to recruit supporters and seize cities.
• Ryosuke revealed that Hizashi Hyuga commanded the uprising while he served as a safeguard, then studied the Empire’s books in a town near the capital.
• Ryosuke adapted the Qi and Blood training method to his body, strengthening his flesh while retaining Chakra as the energy that best suited his abilities.

Ryosuke warned Hizashi Hyuga that the flood of recruits required stricter screening, only to learn Hinata had already approved the same plan.

• Hizashi told Ryosuke that Hinata had already finalized nearly the same recruitment plan after receiving his report.
• Hizashi revealed that members of the rebel army wanted to negotiate the Hyūga’s surrender and that corruption within the rebel ranks had grown as they fought among themselves.

After three months of revelations left Night Raid disillusioned with the resistance, Tatsumi delivered the Hyūga’s invitation and explained that its strict ranks and promotions applied equally to everyone.

• Ryosuke told Hizashi Hyuga to publicly expose parasites in the rebel forces and let recruits choose freely whether to join the Hyūga.
• Over three months, the Hyūga exposed crimes committed by rebel groups, turning public opinion against them and shaking Night Raid’s trust in the resistance.

• Akame opened Night Raid’s headquarters door and clashed swords with Tatsumi, who introduced himself as a captain of the Hyūga Reserve Forces.
• Tatsumi told Nadjeta that the Hyūga wanted to recruit all of Night Raid, and Nadjeta asked about their duties, positions, and treatment.
• Tatsumi explained that recruits generally started as reservists and advanced through strict merit-based selection, though Night Raid might not have to start at the bottom.

Ryosuke completed his twenty-fourth body-tempering trial and underwent a transformation that made his body as powerful and resilient as his Six Paths state. As he discovered he could survive and reform after his body exploded, he sensed that his growing strength was bringing answers to the mysteries in his memories.

Ryosuke left his three-year retreat and joined the Hyūga uprising as its armies prepared to attack the Imperial Capital. The young emperor revealed the empire’s strongest Imperial Arms, a gigantic mech, and Ryosuke rose to confront it.

• Ryosuke packed away his body-tempering records, wondered whether he had lived another life before awakening in this world, and left his residence.

• The imperial army marched out to face the rebels, while Esdeath and the minister stared in shock at the revealed mech.
• Ryosuke rejected Hizashi Hyuga’s suggestion to summon Eren, assessed the mech’s structure, and rose into the air to face it.

Ryosuke killed the emperor by bypassing the Guardian Mech, and the revolutionary army prepared to take the Imperial Capital. Esdeath surrendered the Empire’s army but challenged Ryosuke to a personal fight rather than submit herself.

• Esdeath attacked Ryosuke on the bridge, but he stopped her ice blade and sent her flying with a single punch.
• After Esdeath rose from the rubble badly wounded, Ryosuke took her to a snowy battlefield in the north of the Empire.
• Esdeath repeatedly charged Ryosuke, growing faster and stronger as her Danger Beast blood responded to the cold, while he kicked her away and severed her right leg.
• Esdeath formed an ice leg, refined Chakra, and froze time to strike Ryosuke, but her fist could not harm him.
• Esdeath continued punching Ryosuke as he recognized her resemblance to a figure from his lost memories.

Ryosuke defeated Esdeath, who exhausted her body and Imperial Arm and died in the snow. He then returned home and discovered memories of a past life as Boros, the universe’s strongest overlord, leaving him questioning whether Boros had truly been his previous self.

• Esdeath’s power and body failed as she continued fighting Ryosuke, and she collapsed into the snow with her injuries reopening.

• Ryosuke recognized that he had once been Boros, an alien conqueror who searched the universe for worthy opponents and was defeated by Saitama.
• Ryosuke considered why Saitama was so powerful and realized Boros’s memories began when Boros was a baby, raising doubts about whether Boros had been his previous life or merely someone whose memories he had acquired.

Ryosuke reunited with Kaguya Otsutsuki and promised to find a way to create a replacement moon so he could free her without endangering Earth. He then asked about reincarnation, but Kaguya could offer only limited knowledge of the universe-spanning world of the dead, leaving him wondering whether it explained the gaps in his memories.

• Kaguya Otsutsuki confronted Ryosuke for vanishing for three years, and he explained that he had not found a safe way to release her true body.
