Ch. 522Those Unfathomable Things

Summary: Those Unfathomable Things

1. Key Plot Points

  • The Uchiha clansmen from Konoha are caught by the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but Lin Yan remains unaffected because his body contains no chakra.
  • Madara Uchiha is also unaffected. He locates Nagato's corpse and takes one Rinnegan, elevating himself to Six Paths level.
  • Madara confronts Obito, who is also Six Paths level. After a brief exchange, Madara overpowers Obito using a combination of Six Powers and advanced Haki (Armament, Observation, Conqueror's Infusion).
  • Madara tears out Obito's Rinnegan and implants it, obtaining both Rinnegan. He then forcibly extracts the Ten-Tails from Obito, becoming the new Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki. This leaves Obito near death (as extraction is fatal for a Jinchūriki).
  • Madara reveals to Black Zetsu that he knows about the plan to revive Kaguya. He explains that he learned Six Powers and the Three-Color Haki by observing the living world from the underworld while awaiting revival.
  • Madara states that he wants Kaguya to be revived, as he wishes to face such a powerful being. Black Zetsu is shocked and realizes Madara's knowledge comes from Observation Haki.

2. Character Developments

  • Madara Uchiha: Gains both Rinnegan and the Ten-Tails, reaching peak power. Displays mastery of Haki and Six Powers, which he learned secretly from the underworld. Shows extreme self-confidence, manipulativeness, and a desire to confront ultimate power (Kaguya).
  • Obito: Becomes a victim of Madara's betrayal. Loses both eyes, the Ten-Tails, and is left dying—his plan for "permanent peace" dismantled.
  • Black Zetsu: He is completely exposed as a schemer, with his true goal (reviving Kaguya) revealed. For the first time, he is visibly shaken and at a loss, unable to control the situation.
  • Lin Yan: Has a minimal role here but is established as uniquely immune to the Infinite Tsukuyomi due to lacking chakra.

3. Significant Themes

  • Treachery and power consolidation: Madara coldly seizes power from Obito and dismisses Black Zetsu's manipulation, showing that betrayal is the natural order among those who seek godlike power.
  • Omniscience and surveillance: Madara's ability to learn Haki from observing the living world, combined with Observation Haki, makes him a near-omniscient figure—giving him complete psychological dominance.
  • Fatalism vs. ambition: Black Zetsu's centuries-long plan is exposed, yet Madara embraces it rather than opposing it, suggesting that true ambition seeks worthy adversaries rather than mere victory.

4. Character Interactions

  • Madara vs. Obito: A physical confrontation where Madara reveals his superiority in both Haki and combat skill. He casually dismantles Obito's "perfect world" claim and takes everything from him.
  • Madara vs. Black Zetsu: A tense psychological exchange. Madara ambushes Black Zetsu's ambush, exposes his secret, and then surprisingly welcomes the idea of Kaguya's revival—once again turning Black Zetsu's plans into Madara's own plaything.
  • Lin Yan: Present but passive; his chakra-less body makes him an observer to the clash of gods, hinting at future significance.

Cumulative Note: This chapter raises the power ceiling dramatically (Madara now wields dual Rinnegan, the Ten-Tails, and Haki), positions Black Zetsu as a known enemy rather than a hidden one, and keeps Lin Yan as an unpredictable wildcard in the conflict.
