Chapter Summaries

The Third Raikage ordered A and Killer B to use the Six Paths Ninja Tools to counter Minato Namikaze’s Flying Thunder God. Several days later, he stormed the Leaf frontline camp and survived Jiraiya and Ino-Shika-Chō’s coordinated attack, leaving the defenders facing his renewed assault.

• The Third Raikage learned that Minato Namikaze was sabotaging Hidden Cloud supply lines and decided to deploy the Six Paths Ninja Tools against him.
• The Third Raikage ordered A and Killer B to kill Minato when he appeared, then join the assault on the Leaf frontline.
• The Third Raikage broke through the Leaf camp’s defenses and attacked its shinobi, forcing Jiraiya and Ino-Shika-Chō to confront him.
• Jiraiya trapped the Third Raikage in a swamp, and Nara Roku briefly restrained him with the Shadow Imitation Technique.
• Jiraiya covered the Third Raikage in toad oil and ignited the swamp, but the Raikage emerged with his Lightning Release Armor intact and declared the attack insufficient.

Minato Namikaze used Tianyi’s harassment strategy to lure A and Killer B into a direct fight, where he wounded A with a powerful chakra-enhanced punch. As the A–B Combo prepared to continue, a Flying Thunder God kunai glowed behind Minato, signaling Tianyi’s arrival.

• Minato destroyed Hidden Cloud Village supplies and recalled Tianyi’s advice to retreat, harass, and strike when the enemy tired.
• Minato left a marked kunai behind and led A and Killer B into a forest clearing to fight them head-on.
• A and Killer B attacked together, but Minato evaded them with Flying Thunder God and found that A’s Lightning Release Armor resisted his kunai.
• Minato threw kunai around the clearing, then used consecutive Flying Thunder God jumps to punch A through Killer B’s blocking tail and send A crashing into rubble.
• A rose from the rubble while Killer B’s tail began regenerating, and Minato noticed a kunai behind him glow as he realized Tianyi had arrived.

Hyuga Tianyi rescued Minato from A and Killer B, revealed the danger of the Amber Purifying Pot, and struck the pair with two meteors. Though A and Killer B survived, Killer B transformed fully into Gyūki and unleashed a devastating spinning attack that reshaped the surrounding land.

• Hyuga Tianyi arrived beside Minato and explained that A and Killer B had been trying to seal him with the Amber Purifying Pot.
• Tianyi summoned two blazing alloy pillars from the sky, and Minato escaped the impact with Flying Thunder God.
• A and Killer B survived the explosion in the crater, though A was badly burned and his Lightning Release Armor was nearly extinguished.
• Killer B transformed completely into Gyūki, wrapped A around his shoulder, and began spinning with his tails folded around him.
• Killer B's Tailed Beast Eight Rolls tore through the forest and radically reshaped the surrounding landscape.

Tianyi summoned ten asteroids to strike the battlefield where Killer B had transformed into the Eight-Tails Gyūki, while the Third Raikage fought Jiraiya and the Leaf forces. The Raikage wounded Jiraiya and marched his army toward the northeast, leaving the battle's outcome unresolved.

• Tianyi rose into the upper atmosphere and used Gravity Manipulation to pull ten asteroids into a fiery descent toward the Eight-Tails Gyūki.
• Jiraiya and the Ino–Shika–Chō members held off the Third Raikage as distant explosions and a surge of Tailed Beast chakra signaled the attack in the northeast.
• The Third Raikage learned that A was severely injured and Killer B had transformed completely, then attacked Jiraiya with Hell Stab: Four-Finger Nukite.
• Jiraiya summoned the Rock Lodging Great Toad to block the strike, but the Raikage shifted to Three-Finger Nukite and pierced his shoulder, paralyzing him.
• The Third Raikage abandoned his pursuit of Jiraiya and led the Hidden Cloud Village forces toward the northeast while the Leaf ninja gathered around the wounded Jiraiya.

Tianyi defeated the Eight-Tails with a meteor attack and used the Tailed Beast Collector to drain its chakra from Killer B. As he considered killing the unconscious A–B Combo, the Third Raikage ambushed him and wounded him, then prepared another Hell Stab.

• Tianyi's Starfall destroyed the Eight-Tails' tails and arms, leaving Gyūki gravely injured and Killer B and A unconscious.

• The Third Raikage surprised Tianyi with Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite, but Tianyi escaped the fatal thrust with Flying Thunder God and was wounded.
• The Third Raikage confirmed that A and Killer B were alive, then raised his hand to attack Tianyi again.

Tianyi tested his strength against the Third Raikage, using Taijutsu and Magnet Release before wounding him with an Electromagnetic Cannon. He escaped with Flying Thunder God, and the Raikage declared an enormous bounty on him and authorized shinobi to abandon missions if they encountered him.

• The Third Raikage challenged Tianyi, and they exchanged powerful Taijutsu blows until Tianyi retreated with Flying Thunder God.
• Tianyi attacked from the air with Magnet Release iron spears, but the Third Raikage’s Lightning Release Armor repelled them.

• Tianyi, nearly out of chakra and at his physical limit, left with Flying Thunder God.
• The Third Raikage placed an eighty-million-ryō bounty on Hyuga Tianyi and allowed Hidden Cloud Village shinobi to abandon missions if they encountered him.

After defeating the Eight-Tails, Tianyi returned to the Hidden Leaf camp, healed its wounded with Katsuyu, and prepared to remain on the Hidden Cloud front while Minato went to reinforce the Iwagakure front. Tianyi taught Minato the Rasengan before his departure.

• Killer B told the Third Raikage that Tianyi could extract Tailed Beast chakra, and the Third Raikage ordered the information kept secret until Iwagakure's Tailed Beasts were attacked too.
• The Third Raikage forbade the Two-Tails' jinchuriki from leaving the village without his orders.
• Tianyi summoned Katsuyu to heal the wounded at the Hidden Leaf camp, then learned from Jiraiya that an eighty-million-ryo bounty had been placed on him.

• Tianyi demonstrated the Rasengan and taught Minato how to train it, while Minato suggested more elaborate names for the technique.

Jiraiya learned that Hidden Mist had joined Iwagakure, Hidden Cloud, and Hidden Sand in a war against the Leaf, while Tianyi suspected someone had exposed his pursuit of tailed beasts. Uchiha Madara revealed that he had spread the intelligence to make the villages overwhelm the Leaf and create a chance to kill Tianyi.

• Jiraiya received an urgent message announcing Hidden Mist's declaration of war and read that Iwagakure, Hidden Mist, and Hidden Sand were also increasing pressure on the Leaf.
• Tianyi considered whether his actions had changed the war and suspected that the other villages had learned he was collecting tailed beasts.
• White Zetsu told Uchiha Madara that the Lands of Lightning, Earth, Wind, and Water knew the Leaf was collecting tailed beasts.
• Madara explained that he had spread the intelligence to make the villages besiege the Leaf, exhaust Tianyi across multiple fronts, and expose him to an attack.
• Madara said he would use White Zetsu to track Tianyi and might send Nagato to ensure Tianyi's death.

Hyuga Tianyi brought Gyūki to a Rabbit Nation containment facility, where staff explained that the Tailed Beasts would be treated as equals rather than weapons. Gyūki accepted the explanation, then demanded to know where Shukaku had gone.

• Hyuga Tianyi transported the Eight-Tails' chakra to the Rabbit Nation warehouse, where suppression fields and light chains restrained Gyūki.
• Shukaku taunted Gyūki and claimed he was in charge, but a staff member corrected him and threatened to cut his milk tea for lying.
• The staff member told Gyūki that Hyuga Tianyi had brought him to another world and showed him images of the Ninja World's wars.
• The staff member described Shukaku's comfortable life and promised the Tailed Beasts respect and coexistence in the Rabbit Nation.
• Gyūki relaxed and accepted the explanation, then shouted to ask where Shukaku was.
• Someone called, "Commander Tian, I need support!"

With Leaf Village threatened by four ninja villages, Commander Tian approved an early field test of modern weapons and assigned the Thunder Squad to support Tianyi. The squad prepared to deploy satellites, missiles, drones, and encrypted communications to the Ninja World within seventy-two hours.

• Tianyi described the four battle lines advancing toward Leaf Village and asked Commander Tian for support.
• Commander Tian approved testing the camp equipment before the war ended and selected the chakra-using Thunder Squad for the mission.
• The Weapons Team presented Sky Eye-7 reconnaissance satellites, West Wind-17 and Longsword-100 missile systems, Attack-11 drones, and quantum-encrypted communications.
• Commander Tian placed all twelve Thunder Squad members under Tianyi's command and said the equipment could be deployed through the Flying Thunder God Formation within seventy-two hours.
• Tianyi headed for the transfer hall as the Weapons Team began allocating the equipment.

Tianyi established a hidden camp in the Land of Iron and equipped it with modern military supplies, communications, drones, and satellites. After the camp came online, he returned to the front line, leaving Wang Qiang and the Thunder Squad to operate it.

• Tianyi prepared a concealed base site with Flying Thunder God kunai and layered defenses, then summoned Wang Qiang and the eleven other members of the Thunder Squad.
• Wang Qiang ordered the team to set up reconnaissance, tents, power, communications, water purification, and environmental monitoring.
• The Thunder Squad assembled the Dongfeng-17 missile components, Attack-11 drones, ammunition, and exoskeleton systems.
• Tianyi used Magnet Release to place three satellites into orbit, and Wang Qiang confirmed that their signals and images were online.

Tianyi faced the Hidden Cloud army and redirected the Eight-Tails’ Tailed Beast Ball into the Hidden Cloud camp, destroying its supplies and rallying the Leaf forces. As the battle began, the Third Raikage, A, and Killer B joined forces to confront him.

• The Third Raikage accused the Leaf of targeting Tailed Beasts, while Tianyi countered by accusing the Hidden Cloud of collecting kekkei genkai and deploying a Tailed Beast in violation of the peace treaty.
• Killer B, under the Eight-Tails’ control, fired a Tailed Beast Ball at the Leaf positions, but Tianyi used Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder to send it into the Hidden Cloud camp.
• The Tailed Beast Ball destroyed the Hidden Cloud camp’s supply stockpile, and Tianyi led the Leaf shinobi in a charge against the Hidden Cloud forces.
• Tianyi fought through the enemy ranks with Flying Thunder God until the Third Raikage, A, and Killer B attacked him together.
• Tianyi dodged their attacks, and the Third Raikage declared that he would kill him.

Tianyi fought the Third Raikage, A, and Killer B, but their coordinated attacks and assault on the Leaf Village ninja forced him to defend himself while they tried to exhaust and trap him. After escaping their finishing attack inside an Iron Sand sphere, Tianyi left A and Killer B pinned as Jiraiya prepared to unleash the power of the Toad Sage.

• Tianyi laid Flying Thunder God marks across the battlefield and used them to attack the Third Raikage and A, but the two anticipated his arrivals and pursued him relentlessly.
• The Third Raikage, A, and Killer B attacked the Leaf Village ninja to force Tianyi back into the fight, and Tianyi resumed dodging their attacks rather than abandon his comrades.
• Killer B covered the battlefield with explosive ink clones that sealed Tianyi and slowed his Flying Thunder God, while a blond-haired ninja used Lightning Release Genjutsu to blind him.
• Tianyi's high-tech goggles filtered out the genjutsu, and he sank underground with Earth Release before enclosing himself in a compressed Iron Sand sphere.
• A and Killer B struck the sphere with their Lariats and became trapped in it, while Jiraiya announced that he would reveal the power of the Toad Sage.

Jiraiya used Sage Mode and coordinated with Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima to trap and burn the Third Raikage, while Killer B rescued him in his complete Eight-Tails form. Tianyi then called in an 80,000-ton tactical nuclear strike and began evacuating the battlefield as the missile launched.

• Jiraiya entered Sage Mode and used the Swamp of the Underworld to trap the Third Raikage, A, and Killer B.
• Jiraiya, Sage Fukasaku, and Sage Shima unleashed Goemon, turning the swamp into a blazing sea of boiling oil.

• Tianyi contacted Wang Qiang and ordered an 80,000-ton tactical nuclear strike on the battlefield.
• Tianyi gave Jiraiya a Flying Thunder God kunai and asked him to stall the enemy while he prepared the strike.
• Tianyi told Nara Roku to evacuate all Leaf Village ninja beyond five kilometers, and Wang Qiang began the missile launch countdown.

Tianyi launched a hypersonic missile at the battlefield and used Flying Thunder God to escape with Jiraiya before its nuclear blast struck the Third Raikage, A, and Killer B. The Third Raikage died, while A and Killer B survived, and Jiraiya declared the front over.

• Tianyi summoned a massive storm of metal, then teleported himself and Jiraiya away from the battlefield.
• The missile struck the Third Raikage, A, and Killer B, causing a vast explosion that destroyed the surrounding land.

• Tianyi lifted the three men from the crater with Iron Sand, and Jiraiya declared the front over.

As the Leaf Village celebrated the victory over the Hidden Cloud Village, Danzo and the advisers persuaded Hiruzen Sarutobi to summon Hyuga Tianyi back with the captured A-B Combo. Jiraiya and Tianyi recognized the order as an attempt to sideline him, and Jiraiya sent a message to Tsunade as Tianyi left the front alone.

• Villagers celebrated the Third Raikage's death and the capture of the A-B Combo while Danzo warned Hiruzen Sarutobi that Hyuga Tianyi's power threatened the village's balance.
• Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura backed Danzo, and Hiruzen ordered Tianyi to escort the prisoners back to the Leaf Village and report to the Hokage Office.
• Jiraiya received the order at the front and grew furious when he realized Tianyi was being pulled away from the battlefield.
• Tianyi declined Jiraiya's offer to accompany him and left the command tent alone, saying he was ready for a break.
• Jiraiya sent a message to Tsunade, warning that her student was being bullied.

Danzo sent Aburame Torune and thirty-four Root operatives to capture Hyuga Tianyi, while Tianyi detected their ambush on his way back to Leaf Village. He deliberately headed toward the canyon, intending to use the attack as an opportunity to leave the front lines.

• Danzo gave Aburame Torune intelligence on Hyuga Tianyi and ordered him to lead Root operatives equipped to counter the Flying Thunder God Technique and capture Tianyi alive.
• Near the Leaf Village border, Tianyi noticed a Root operative among his escort and dismissed the squad before flying away with A and Killer B suspended by iron sand.
• The Root operative summoned a beetle to send a message after Tianyi escaped into the sky.
• Tianyi contacted Wang Qiang, who used satellites to locate thirty-five chakra signatures and identify a canyon as a likely ambush site.
• Tianyi ignored the recommended detour and descended toward the canyon, choosing to let Danzo's forces make their move.

Hyuga Tianyi used satellite-guided missiles to devastate Aburame Torune’s Root ambush, then prepared to attack the survivors from above. Torune’s force was nearly wiped out, and Tianyi aimed an electromagnetic cannon at the remaining ninja.

• Aburame Torune deployed Root’s aerial reconnaissance net to search for Hyuga Tianyi.
• Hyuga Tianyi identified Torune from the Sky Eye-7 satellite feed and ordered Wang Qiang to launch one high-explosive missile followed by four incendiaries.
• The high-explosive missile shattered the Root ninja’s earthen defenses, and the incendiaries engulfed the forest in flames.
• Aburame Torune survived behind his insects, but only three Root ninja remained standing beside him, and the spatial barrier was lost.
• Hyuga Tianyi watched the survivors struggle in the mist and charged a kunai with Magnet Release: Electromagnetic Cannon.

Tianyi killed Aburame Torune and the Root ninja who ambushed him, then sealed their heads as a message for Danzo. At the Root Base, Danzo still believed his plan had succeeded and waited for Tianyi to be brought back.

• Aburame Torune released his rinkaichū and waited in the fog for Tianyi to approach, but Tianyi shot him and another Root ninja with a laser.
• Tianyi told the dying Aburame Torune that the Byakugan made his efforts futile, and Torune exploded into poisonous mist.
• Tianyi used Magnet Release to decapitate thirty-four bodies and sealed the heads in a scroll for Danzo.
• Tianyi flew away using Gravity Manipulation, while Danzo waited at the Root Base, expecting his team to capture him.

Tianyi returned to Konoha and attacked Root Headquarters after revealing Danzo’s failed ambush to Hiruzen. As explosions rocked Root, Fugaku led elite Uchiha toward the location Tianyi had chosen for them.

• Tianyi returned to Konoha, sent Hiruzen a scroll containing Root ninja heads, and dispatched letters to Uchiha Fugaku and the Naku Clan.
• Hiruzen opened Tianyi’s scroll in front of Danzo, Koharu, and Homura, exposing the dead Root operatives and prompting Hiruzen to confront Danzo.
• Tianyi flew to Root Headquarters, taunted its guards, and attacked them with Magnet Release: Heavenly Punishment.
• Hiruzen asked the ANBU where Tianyi was as explosions sounded, and Danzo realized Tianyi had gone to Root Headquarters.
• Fugaku read Tianyi’s letter, assembled Uchiha elites with three-tomoe eyes, and led them toward the location Tianyi had planned.
