Ch. 1061Hope and No Hope
Natsuki and Minato coordinated with the major villages to prepare for falling meteors and explained how the Ninja Professional League could offer revival slots. After finding hair with follicles that could help cultivate a body for Atsui, Natsuki left the villages prepared for the coming Otsutsuki, while Otsutsuki Hagoromo suspected Natsuki was about to revive and ordered Toneri to prepare.
- Natsuki and the Raikage discussed the Ninja Professional League and learned that Samui’s brother Atsui’s body had never been found.
- Natsuki told Samui that hair with follicles could provide DNA for Orochimaru to cultivate a body, and she brought him a box of hair she had pulled from Atsui years earlier.
- Natsuki confirmed that most of the hair had follicles, giving Samui hope that Atsui could be revived if Cloud Village obtained a revival slot.
- Natsuki and Minato visited Stone Village, Mist Village, and Sand Village to coordinate meteor defenses and invite them to observe the coming battle.
- Otsutsuki Hagoromo saw the villages preparing and suspected Natsuki planned to revive himself, so he called Toneri and told him to get ready.
