Chapter Summaries

Qian tested how much chakra could accelerate his Byakugan’s evolution and determined it advanced by at most ten points per day, though his daily chakra savings could fund only four. He then allocated his remaining chakra to improve several other techniques.

• Qian used chakra to raise his Byakugan’s Evolution Progress from 100 to 102, learning that each point cost roughly one hundred thousand chakra.
• Qian drained five hundred thousand chakra from the Seven-Tails, used it to evolve his Byakugan, and repeated the process after eating strengthened Soldier Pills.
• Qian raised his Byakugan’s Evolution Progress to 110 before its advancement slowed, identifying ten points per day as its apparent limit.
• Qian calculated that his daily chakra savings could fund only four Byakugan progress points and decided to improve it gradually.
• Qian maxed out Izanagi and Izanami, then allocated his remaining chakra to Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change and Transcription Seal.

Qian spent the day cultivating a range of techniques with Shadow Clones while advancing his Sharingan and body training. He ended the day ready to invest his Chakra in evolving his Byakugan.

• Qian sent Shadow Clones to cultivate eight techniques through the night, then returned to the island house and slept.
• At dawn, Qian confirmed that the Seven-Tails had recovered and found that All Things of the Universe Sealing had stored excess Chakra in a Different Space.
• Qian extracted five hundred thousand points of Chakra from the Seven-Tails and sent out Shadow Clones while he trained the Mystical Palm Technique and Mind Reflection Technique.
• Qian repeated the cultivation cycle throughout the day, then focused on his Byakugan after completing the day's planned training.

Qian spent several days training and using stored chakra to evolve his Byakugan, then advanced All Things of the Universe Sealing to lv8. He resealed the Seven-Tails with an improved formula and began preparing to upgrade the seal inside himself.

• Qian repeatedly trained, extracted the Seven-Tails' chakra, and used it to raise his Byakugan's Evolution Progress.
• After five days, Qian's All Things of the Universe Sealing advanced from lv7 to lv8.
• Qian extracted five hundred thousand points of chakra from the weakened Seven-Tails and recorded the upgraded sealing formula on a scroll.
• Qian released the Seven-Tails from the Metal Sphere, caught him in Genjutsu: Sharingan, and sealed him again with the improved formula.
• Qian created dozens of shadow clones to train while using up the chakra stored inside his own Different Space.

Qian advanced All Things of the Universe Sealing to level 8, doubled his Chakra Reservoir’s capacity, and continued training. After finding the reservoir empty again by nightfall, he considered capturing another Tailed Beast but concluded that none offered a suitable target for now.

• Qian resealed his Byakugan with All Things of the Universe Sealing and found that the upgraded pocket dimension could hold ten million points of chakra.
• Qian resumed training with Multiple Shadow Clones after putting away his scroll and other supplies.
• By nightfall, Qian noticed his Byakugan’s Evolution Progress had increased by four points, while the Chakra Reservoir was empty again.
• Qian considered the locations and circumstances of the other Tailed Beasts and ruled out the One-Tail, Two-Tails, Eight-Tails, Nine-Tails, Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Six-Tails as immediate targets.
• Qian decided he might pursue the Three-Tails or watch Roshi in the future, but set aside capturing another Tailed Beast for now.

After a week of intense training, Qian returned to the village to rest and learned that patrols were searching for an intruder who had triggered the Perception Barrier. Uchiha Shisui told him the intruder likely used space-time ninjutsu, leaving Qian wondering who had infiltrated the village.

• Qian used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return from the island to his Cultivation Room and absorbed his Shadow Clone’s memories.
• Qian noticed that the village and Uchiha clan had increased their patrols, but decided to sleep before investigating.
• Uchiha Shisui spotted Qian through the window and used Genjutsu: Sharingan, then recognized him and went to his home.
• Qian asked Shisui why patrols were searching the village, and Shisui explained that the Perception Barrier had been triggered several times.
• Shisui said the Barrier Team suspected an intruder had used space-time ninjutsu, and Qian ruled out himself because he had been away from the village.

Qian suspected that Obito Uchiha was the mysterious figure slipping into Konoha and considered how to obtain the Hashirama Cells in his body. After Shisui left, Qian planned a cautious approach and rested, ready to resume training once recovered.

• Qian recognized that the intruder was likely Obito Uchiha but kept his suspicions and interest in Obito's Hashirama Cells from Uchiha Shisui.
• Shisui said the intruder had appeared near the Cemetery and the Uchiha Clan Grounds, and reported that the Barrier Team had detected spatial fluctuations nearby.
• Qian concealed that his Flying Thunder God Technique might have caused the detected disturbance and promised to watch for the intruder.
• After Shisui left, Qian considered how to catch Obito off guard without revealing too much about his abilities, then rested armed and dressed.
• Qian woke the next day feeling mostly recovered and expected to return to peak condition after a day of rest.

Qian went to the Cemetery and unexpectedly spotted Obito Uchiha approaching after Kakashi left. He concealed himself and waited for a chance to pursue his plan to obtain Hashirama Cells from Obito Uchiha.

• Qian ate breakfast, then headed to the Cemetery to scout a place Obito Uchiha had often used as a foothold.
• Qian saw Kakashi standing silently at Rin and Obito's graves and chose not to approach him.
• Qian sensed a spatial fluctuation, hid himself, and used All Things of the Universe Sealing to conceal his presence.
• Qian recognized Obito Uchiha by his Spiral Mask as he appeared in the nearby forest, hiding from Kakashi.
• After Kakashi left the Cemetery, Obito Uchiha revealed himself and angrily slammed the flowers by the gravestone onto the ground.

Qian disguised himself as Kakashi to provoke Obito Uchiha and seize his Hashirama Cells. He exposed his Mangekyō Sharingan, overpowered Obito in a genjutsu clash, and tore off his right arm before Obito escaped and demanded to know who he was.

• Qian transformed into Kakashi and approached Obito Uchiha at the cemetery to provoke him.
• Obito recognized Qian as an impostor and attacked him with Wood Release: Cutting Technique.
• Qian hardened his body with Earth Release and grabbed Obito's right arm as Obito prepared to use Kamui.
• Qian activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and Sharingan Genjutsu, briefly overwhelming Obito.
• Qian tore off Obito's right arm, but Obito used Kamui to escape to a distant tree and demanded to know Qian's identity.

Qian sealed Obito Uchiha’s severed arm, then fought him in a brief clash of Kamui, genjutsu, and close combat. The two paused without resolving the fight after Obito guessed Qian might be Uchiha Qian or Uchiha Shisui and realized he wanted the Hashirama Cells.

• Qian sealed Obito Uchiha’s severed arm, which contained Hashirama Cells, inside a scroll.
• Obito Uchiha attacked with kunai and Kamui, but Qian sensed his teleportation and dodged his strikes.
• Qian briefly caught Obito Uchiha in genjutsu and nearly cut his throat, but Obito used Kamui to evade the kunai.
• Obito Uchiha countered with Wood Release: Cutting Technique and continued attacking, while Qian dodged and fought back with a fireball.
• After several dozen exchanges, Qian broke away and warned that continuing would expose Obito Uchiha’s identity.
• Obito Uchiha guessed Qian might be Uchiha Qian or Uchiha Shisui and realized Qian had targeted the Hashirama Cells in his arm.

Qian drove Obito Uchiha to retreat without revealing his Mangekyō Sharingan’s unique Dojutsu, then escaped before Kakashi arrived. Back at home, he began examining Obito’s severed arm to extract the Hashirama Cells within it.

• Obito Uchiha retreated through Kamui after Qian warned him that his identity had been exposed.
• Qian sent shadow clones to erase traces of their fight, then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.
• Kakashi arrived with Anbu ninja but found no useful clues, and the encounter made him more vigilant when visiting the cemetery.
• Qian returned home, changed clothes, and made a shadow clone to handle any approaching Patrol Team.
• Qian unsealed Obito Uchiha’s severed arm and infused it with Yang Release Chakra to study its Hashirama Cells.

Qian used Yang Release Chakra to awaken the Hashirama Cells in a severed arm and spent the night developing a sealing array to isolate them. After testing the array successfully, he extracted the remaining Hashirama Cells and sealed them away for later use.

• Qian fed Yang Release Chakra into the severed arm, causing Hashirama Cells to awaken and sprout tender branches.
• Qian studied the cells for half an hour, then designed a sealing array to distinguish them from ordinary cells and draw energy into them.
• After more than ten hours of work, Qian tested the array and confirmed it could transfer Hashirama Cells into Nutrient Solution.
• Qian tested the array again on another piece of flesh, then used it to extract all the remaining Hashirama Cells from the arm.
• Qian sensed the concentrated vitality in the bottle, sealed it inside a specially made scroll, and collapsed into exhaustion.

After finishing his research, Qian learned that Konoha and the Uchiha clan had questioned his Shadow Clone about the cemetery battle, while Uchiha Shisui may have suspected his involvement. Qian decided to warn Shisui to be careful around Obito Uchiha, then ate a large meal and went home to sleep.

• Qian left the Cultivation Room, dispelled his Shadow Clone, and reviewed its memories of the village and Uchiha patrols questioning it.
• Qian concluded that Uchiha Shisui might have guessed he was connected to the battle, but could not know the truth.
• Qian decided to warn Uchiha Shisui that Obito Uchiha might investigate their identities, though he would not take responsibility for protecting him.
• Qian went to Gourmet Street, ate at his usual barbecue restaurant until he was full, and returned home to sleep soundly.

Qian left the village in disguise, traveled to his secluded island, and trained there for two days. His Izanagi and Izanami reached level five, gaining substantially stronger effects, and he began another round of training.

• Qian created a shadow clone to remain in the village and told it to warn Uchiha Shisui about Obito Uchiha.
• Qian disguised himself as an ordinary Leaf ninja, left through the village gate, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to reach his island.
• Qian checked the island for outsiders, summoned dozens of shadow clones, assigned their training, and trained his own skills.
• After two days of training, Qian's Izanagi and Izanami reached level five, increasing Izanagi's invincibility duration and strengthening Izanami's binding effect while reducing its upkeep.
• Qian assessed the improvements and began another round of training with the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Qian perfected the Genjutsu: Bringer-of-Darkness Technique and redirected his training resources toward the Temple of Nirvana Technique. Two days later, his Mangekyo Sharingan reached its evolution threshold, but he postponed evolving it until after his Body Transformation to avoid an imbalance between his Spirit and Physical Constitution.

• Qian advanced the Genjutsu: Bringer-of-Darkness Technique to its perfected level and discovered it could affect multiple targets without an obvious loss of effectiveness.
• Qian decided to direct his daily chakra allocation toward the Temple of Nirvana Technique so it could reach perfection sooner.
• Qian assigned his Shadow Clones to prioritize training the Temple of Nirvana Technique and adjusted their tasks to use his chakra efficiently.
• Two days later, Qian's Mangekyo Sharingan Evolution Progress reached 50000/50000.
• Qian chose to delay evolving his Mangekyo Sharingan until after his Body Transformation, fearing that increased Spiritual Power could cause a dangerous imbalance.

Qian reached the critical point of physical transformation after five days of training and prepared to assimilate Hashirama Cells during his breakthrough. He began striking the bodily shackle with the power of Human Authority, and after half an hour it had weakened, though his transformation had not yet begun.

• Qian chose to train Lightning Style: Lightning Flash Body with the chakra and time saved by pausing the Mind Reflection Technique.
• Five days later, Qian sensed that his body had reached the critical point of transformation and released his shadow clones to absorb their training experience.
• Qian discovered that Lightning Style: Lightning Flash Body had reached perfection and estimated that it would increase his burst speed by about twenty percent.
• Qian took out the Hashirama Cells sealed in a glass bottle and prepared to assimilate them during his transformation.
• Qian activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and Human Authority, then repeatedly used the Mystical Palm Technique to strike his bodily shackle; after half an hour, the shackle had weakened but remained unbroken.

Qian injected Hashirama Cells into his left arm and used Human Authority and the Mystical Palm Technique to suppress and assimilate them. He paused whenever Human Authority reached its limit, then resumed the process, leaving the assimilation ongoing.

• Qian injected a small amount of Hashirama Cells into his left arm, where they began proliferating rapidly.
• Qian concentrated Yang Release Chakra in his arm and used Human Authority to restrain the Hashirama Cells.
• Qian considered the ways others had fused with Hashirama Cells and chose to make the cells adapt to him instead.
• Qian guided the cells with Human Authority and the Mystical Palm Technique, pausing to recover when his control reached its limit.
• Qian resumed assimilating the cells repeatedly for half an hour.

Qian completed his body transformation and increased his assimilation of the Hashirama Cells, reducing the chakra needed to keep them under control. He assessed his new physical and chakra capabilities and expected his next transformation and Mangekyo Sharingan evolution to bring further gains.

• Qian spread the Hashirama Cells throughout his body and completed his transformation after three rounds of Body Enhancement.
• Qian's Hashirama Cell assimilation rose from thirty to fifty percent, and he found he needed only one hundred thousand chakra to suppress them.
• Qian's Physical Constitution increased from 22 to 24, and a cut on his arm healed completely within two minutes without chakra assistance.
• Qian found he could passively circulate the Chakra Refining Technique all day and naturally recover 1,450,000 chakra per day.
• Qian's theoretical chakra limit increased from 1,350,000 to 2,150,000, and he anticipated further growth after improving his Mangekyo Sharingan.

Uchiha Qian repeatedly used the Mind Reflection Technique until his Mangekyo Sharingan evolved into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. He found that the technique barely advanced his new eyes, leaving him to consider how to combine it with his Hashirama Cells to pursue the Rinnegan.

• Uchiha Qian repeatedly stimulated his eyes with the Mind Reflection Technique until blood flowed from them and his Mangekyo Sharingan became the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
• Uchiha Qian checked his Proficiency Panel and saw that his Spirit had increased from 23 to 26, his Physical Constitution from 22 to 24, and his Byakugan Evolution Progress to 695/1000.
• Uchiha Qian tested the Mind Reflection Technique and found that it still affected his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, but several dozen uses barely increased its proficiency by one point.
• Uchiha Qian considered improving the Mind Reflection Technique so it could stimulate both his body and eyes, potentially helping him advance toward the Rinnegan.
• Uchiha Qian attributed the Byakugan's rapid progress to his Body Transformation and Sharingan evolution, and expected its future growth to proceed slowly.

Qian measured the gains from his increased Spirit attribute and found that his daily freely allocatable chakra had more than doubled, while his theoretical chakra limit reached 3,150,000 points. He began testing whether his mind could handle the additional chakra and adjusted his training plan to improve his body more efficiently.

• Qian tested his natural chakra recovery and calculated that his Spirit increase added 900,000 points of chakra per day.
• Qian estimated that his theoretical chakra limit had risen by about 1,000,000 points, bringing it to 3,150,000 points.
• Qian checked his Chakra Refining Technique and concluded that its proficiency would take another 270 days to reach the next level.
• Qian calculated that he had 1,436,000 points of chakra to reallocate and summoned over a hundred Shadow Clones to begin testing his mental endurance.
• Qian stopped practicing the Mind Reflection Technique for now and planned to divide his training time between the Mystical Palm Technique and Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Qian pushed his Lightning Release Chakra Mode beyond its limits to improve its training gains, then reorganized his daily chakra allocation after his Temple of Nirvana Technique reached perfection. He committed the remaining chakra to skill development and Byakugan evolution before returning to Konoha, wary that Obito Uchiha might come after him.

• Qian recovered from injuries caused by overtraining the Lightning Release Chakra Mode and confirmed that the resulting self-healing improved its tempering effects without depleting his lifespan.
• Qian trained the Lightning Release Chakra Mode for another hour, then dismissed his shadow clones and absorbed their cultivation experience.
• Qian calculated that he could digest roughly three million chakra points per day, but chose not to train at his limit because Obito Uchiha might target him.
• Qian allocated more chakra to the Flying Thunder God Technique, Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change, Transcription Seal, All Things of the Universe Sealing, Chakra Scalpel, and Lightning Release Chakra Mode after the Temple of Nirvana Technique reached perfection.
• Qian reserved chakra for routine needs and the Byakugan’s evolution, then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to Konoha.
