• Kenjaku formed a seal and activated Womb Profusion.

Kenjaku expanded his open domain, Womb Profusion, against Yuki Tsukumo, but she stopped it with a barrier and revealed its weakness: an open domain could not expand through an obstacle. The chapter explained how Tengen had devised the countermeasure with Tsukumo, leaving Kenjaku’s domain halted around him.

Yuki Tsukumo used Star Rage to tear through Kenjaku’s Maximum: Uzumaki and badly wound his shoulder, but Kenjaku revealed that his cursed technique burnout had ended and began expanding his domain again.
