Chapter Summaries

Ren learned that Kinshiki Otsutsuki and Momoshiki Otsutsuki had arrived decades earlier than expected and were heading toward Konoha with Toneri Ōtsutsuki. He welcomed the chance to confront and study them, believing their descent into Konoha would lead them into a trap.

• Ren asked Red Queen about her research, and she reported that Corpse Zetsu had raised the rate of Chakra infection to eighty percent and that she had identified a symbiotic relationship between the God Tree and the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
• Red Queen showed Ren satellite footage of Kinshiki Otsutsuki and Momoshiki Otsutsuki approaching the moon, and Ren recognized them as Ōtsutsuki who had arrived much earlier than expected.

• Red Queen warned Ren that Kinshiki and Momoshiki had left the moon and were heading toward Konoha with a child Ren suspected was Toneri Ōtsutsuki.
• Red Queen determined that Momoshiki had sensed Konoha's concentrated Chakra, and Ren concluded the pair were heading straight into a trap.

Ren used the Thunder Cannon from Hokage Rock to fire a Storm Release Laser at Momoshiki and Kinshiki, intending to change their descent away from Konoha. Momoshiki raised his hands to meet the attack, and Ren saw the Rinnegan in his palms.

• Ren and Red Queen decided to use the Thunder Cannon to redirect Momoshiki and Kinshiki before they reached Konoha.

Ren attacked Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki with the Thunder Cannon, forcing them toward the Land of Wind while rescuing Toneri Ōtsutsuki. After Ren ordered Toneri brought to him, he examined the boy and wondered whether Hamura Otsutsuki’s descendants shared his physique.

• Ren split the Thunder Cannon’s Storm Release Laser into a barrage that struck Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki, driving them toward the Land of Wind.
• Ren spotted Toneri Ōtsutsuki falling and shaped the lasers into a giant hand that caught him and carried him toward the ground.
• Ren sent Might Duy to retrieve Toneri, then told the gathered Konoha ninjas to remain on emergency alert and identified their enemies as the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
• Might Duy brought Toneri to Ren, who examined the child with his Byakugan and considered studying his physique.

Ren questioned Toneri about the Byakugan, Sharingan, and Tenseigan, learning how the Ōtsutsuki understood their evolution and suspecting his own bloodline had been purified. Toneri also revealed that the people who kidnapped him killed his caretaker and sought the God Tree’s Chakra, leaving Ren wary of their plans.

• Toneri told Ren that the Sharingan was a Byakugan polluted by the God Tree’s energy and claimed the Tenseigan surpassed the Rinnegan.
• Toneri explained under Ren’s Genjutsu that the Tenseigan could be awakened by fusing many Byakugan and purifying the bloodline, with Natural Energy playing a role in Hamura’s method.
• Ren connected his Byakugan’s awakening to the God Tree’s energy and the bloodline-tempering effect of the Hengyu Fist.
• Toneri revealed that his kidnappers killed the old man who cared for him, entered the Forbidden Zone, and sought Chakra from the God Tree.

Madara Uchiha learned that Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki had arrived, while Black Zetsu recognized them from Kaguya Otsutsuki’s memories and feared them. The chapter left Madara raging over Ren’s rise and lamenting that he was now hunted and forced to hide.

• Madara Uchiha told White Zetsu to keep watching the space visitors but avoid provoking Ren while the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path remained incomplete.

• Madara raged that he had spared Ren, then reflected on how Ren had surpassed him and left him fleeing from his pursuers.

Ren tracked Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki as they searched for Kaguya Otsutsuki, while Shikamaru gained a strange swordsmanship inheritance by absorbing a shadow. Shikaku then warned Ren that the Hyuga Clan had taken an interest in Toneri, leaving Ren suspicious of their motives.

• Black Zetsu agreed to investigate Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki and took Madara’s Chakra to give to Obito.

• Shikaku reported that a Hyuga Clan elder had approached Toneri and that Toneri wanted to meet the Hyuga Clan, prompting Ren to suspect they wanted his eyes.

Ren learned that his pure Byakugan could evolve into the Tenseigan, but doing so by removing the Sharingan’s energy might cost him the chance to obtain the Reincarnation. He left the choice unresolved while monitoring Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki as they searched for ruins connected to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

• Ren ordered Shikaku to watch a child and arrest a Hyuga Clan elder who coveted the Tenseigan.
• Red Queen told Ren that his Byakugan was close to evolving and that using Izanagi and Izanami could clear the Sharingan energy blocking its transformation.
• Red Queen explained that Ren could cultivate Natural Energy through Sage Mode to awaken the Tenseigan over several years, leaving Ren torn between that eye and the Reincarnation.
• Ren chose not to interfere with Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, instead monitoring their search for ruins that might contain Kaguya Otsutsuki’s records.

Ren monitored Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki while dealing with the kidnapping of Hinata Hyuga by a disguised Hyuga elder. After realizing the Otsutsuki pair were heading for the Ancient Kingdom of Roran and its Dragon Vein, Ren set out with White Fang and the Sword Guards to stop them.

• Momoshiki Otsutsuki transferred Ren and the meteorite into Kaguya's dimension, where magma covered the landscape.
• Momoshiki Otsutsuki sent a wave of magma over Ren's Susanoo as the meteorite began descending again.
• Ren summoned the Soul Hall and used his power to devour the flames and heat surrounding his Susanoo.
• Ren's Susanoo broke free of its cooled magma shell, and Ren raised the Soul Hall to draw in the remaining flames.
