• Natsu received the red family trait Will Kin, which increased the Uchiha Clan's talent and potential.

Natsu’s actions caused a subtle enhancement to spread through the Uchiha clan and their allies, improving their vitality, chakra flow, Sharingan, and Observation Haki. As the clansmen returned to their duties, Natsu examined the changes in himself and focused on the unfamiliar Will Kin.

• Natsu told the clansmen to resume their duties, and they dispersed with renewed excitement.
• Natsu inspected his system traits and felt his physical strength and Senjutsu Chakra improve before turning his attention to the Will Kin.

• Natsu reviewed past battles and Vallen’s Genetic Enhancer research, noticing new combat insights and possible improvements to the research.

• Fugaku and five others trained in Sage Mode in Naka Shrine’s underground chamber, but natural energy resisted merging with Fugaku’s Chakra.

• Fugaku, Yaoyu, Yakumi, Kei, Yashiro, and Izumi each struggled with different problems while attempting to absorb natural energy and master Sage Mode.
• Natsu ended the training session, explained what each Uchiha needed to improve, and told them to continue the next day.
• Natsu ordered a Night Owl Guard to summon Elders Setsuna, Tekka, and Taoho to Naka Shrine.
• The Night Owl Guard reflected on how a warm current had restored his youthful vigor and cleared his mind, making him believe the Uchiha would no longer lose strength to aging.

Natsu summoned Setsuna, Tekka, and Taoho, and they discovered that Setsuna had been rejuvenated. He announced plans to build Heavenly Awakening Hall as a heavily guarded Uchiha forbidden ground and the clan’s ultimate safeguard.

• A Night Owl Guard delivered Natsu’s summons to Setsuna, Tekka, and Taoho.
• Tekka and Taoho arrived and recognized that Natsu’s power had restored Setsuna to his prime.
• Natsu told the elders that Heavenly Awakening Hall would be guarded by the Night Owl Guard and opened once a month under strict entry rules and contracts.
• Natsu revealed that the hall could help Uchiha awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan and would serve as the clan’s final trump card in a crisis.
• Setsuna, Tekka, and Taoho understood that the hall had to be protected at any cost.

Natsu ordered the construction of the Heavenly Awakening Hall, a secret Uchiha stronghold containing power to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan and turn the tide in a crisis. After the palace was completed, Natsu met Moria on Sourceguard Island and challenged him about why he had come.

• Setsuna, Tekka, and Taoho began planning the Heavenly Awakening Hall, while Setsuna added hidden defenses and sentries to the design.
• More than a thousand ninja built the palace in thirteen days, and the Night Owl Guard secured its perimeter and sealed its guards to protect its secrets.
• Setsuna stood before the completed Heavenly Awakening Hall and regarded it as the Uchiha Clan's holy land.
• Natsu met Moria at the Heavenly Star Guard garrison on Sourceguard Island and asked whether he should call him Kozuki Moria or Gecko Moria.
• Moria said he was unworthy of the Kozuki name because he had failed to defeat Kaido and protect his companions, and Natsu challenged him for coming merely to tell a sob story.

Natsu tested whether Moria still had the will to grow stronger and avenge his fallen companions, refusing to help him without proof that he could offer something in return. Moria remembered the people who had died following him and did not retreat, leaving his response unresolved.

• Natsu condemned Kozuki Oden and the Kozuki Clan, and Moria feared that his former name had angered him.
• Moria knelt before Natsu and begged to become his subordinate so he could gain the power to defeat Kaido and avenge his companions.
• Natsu rejected Moria's plea, pointing out that Moria and his Zombie Army were far weaker than the Uchiha Clan.
• Natsu considered whether Moria could recover his former strength or whether he should take the Shadow-Shadow Devil Fruit instead.
• Moria recalled the companions who had trusted him and died in Kaido's flames, and he did not retreat.

Moria pledged his life and loyalty to Natsu in exchange for the power to take revenge on Kaido, and Natsu sent him to Spirit Awakening Island. Natsu then watched Sasuke demonstrate his fire technique and prepared to teach him something new.

• Moria told Natsu he would give up his name, dignity, and freedom to gain the power to kill Kaido, and promised never to betray the Uchiha.
• Natsu warned Moria that betrayal would bring punishment worse than Kaido could inflict, then ordered him to report to Elder Tekka on Spirit Awakening Island.
• Natsu found Sasuke practicing Hand Seals in the courtyard, and Sasuke greeted him excitedly after waiting for two hours.
• Sasuke demonstrated Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation, unleashing flames more than thirty meters wide across the lake.
• Natsu praised Sasuke's skill while cautioning him against pride, then prepared to teach him a new technique.

Natsu demonstrated how combining chakra natures could multiply a technique’s power, then trained Sasuke in combat and taught him to adapt after each defeat. As dinner began, Sasuke gathered his courage to tell Natsu something.

• Natsu used Shadow Clones to combine lightning, water, and wind over the lake, showing Sasuke how coordinated techniques could outmatch a flashy attack.
• Sasuke asked how to control two chakra natures at once, and Natsu explained chakra flow with diagrams before beginning practical training.
• Natsu set a Shadow Clone against Sasuke and challenged him to last three minutes; Sasuke was repeatedly knocked down but learned from his mistakes.
• Natsu ended the Taijutsu session and explained why Sasuke needed both Ninjutsu and Taijutsu.
• At dinner, Sasuke stopped eating, sat up straight, and prepared to say something to Natsu.

Natsu persuaded Sasuke that his talent and potential surpassed Itachi’s and agreed to train him, while Sasuke’s memories showed how his bond with Itachi had turned to hatred after the Uchiha clan fled Konoha and he learned of Itachi’s betrayal. The chapter left Sasuke excited to begin training under Natsu.

• Natsu explained that Sasuke’s academy record and hard work made him worthy of becoming his disciple.
• Natsu told Sasuke that his potential exceeded Itachi’s and urged him to prove it through training.
• Sasuke bowed to accept Natsu’s expectations, and Natsu scheduled lessons in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu.
• Sasuke remembered how Natsu and Itachi’s relationship broke down after the Nine-Tails attack and how the clan later left Konoha without Itachi.
• After learning that Itachi had planned to help outsiders slaughter the Uchiha, Sasuke shut himself away until Natsu dragged him to the training ground and forced him to face his grief.

Sasuke settled into life on Origin Island, where Natsu trained him while Izumi helped care for them. Meanwhile, the first ten Night Owl Guard members completed the Heavenly Awakening Hall’s trial, and several awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

• Sasuke bought breakfast for Natsu and Izumi, then joined Izumi in waking Natsu at his home.
• Natsu got up and shared breakfast with Sasuke and Izumi, while Sasuke reflected on the peaceful life Natsu had fought to give the Uchiha.
• Natsu established a routine of teaching Sasuke ninjutsu and combat through nightly Shadow Clone training.
• Uchiha Setsuna, Tekka, Taoho, and seven Night Owl Guard members entered the Heavenly Awakening Hall while Uchiha Fugaku activated the Phantom Night Prison.
• After five days, the ten emerged; Setsuna, Tekka, Taoho, and two guards had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Natsu supervised the Uchiha Clan’s Mangekyo awakenings and Sage Mode training while deliberately limiting its reliance on him. As Fugaku, Kei, Yaoyu, and Yakumi made progress, Izumi surprised Natsu with her unusually delicate control of Susanoo.

• Natsu reviewed the results of ten Night Owl Guards entering the Phantom Night Prison, where five awakened Mangekyo Sharingan, including two of the seven who were not already near the threshold.
• Natsu decided to slow the Uchiha Clan’s expansion and let the Elder Council, Night Owl Guards, Heavenly Star Guards, and Earthly Chief Guards manage the clan’s challenges without his constant protection.
• Three more pairs awakened Mangekyo Sharingan, a girl at the Training Ground completed six hand seals in one breath, and Sasuke trained through repeated fights with Natsu’s Shadow Clones.
• Fugaku and Kei reached the edge of natural power, and Yaoyu and Yakumi eventually overcame their separate struggles to make their Susanoo absorb it.
• Yashiro, Setsuna, Tekka, and Taoho remained stuck trying to communicate with their Susanoo, while Izumi showed Natsu exceptional control over its half-activated state.
