Ren gained Indra's Chakra and postponed entering the Trash Station when Nawaki urgently asked him to help find a Thunderstone. Ren recognized the mission as a trap, but Kumogakure shinobi ambushed them, led by the future Fourth Raikage, who sought revenge for his cousin Tsukiyo Ryuzo.

• Ren sensed that Madara Uchiha's remaining Indra's Chakra would only become available after Madara died, and felt that he had gained new trash for the Trash Station.
• Nawaki asked Ren to join a mission near Konoha to find a Thunderstone that could complete the Lightning God's Sword.
• Ren noticed Tsunade's necklace on Nawaki and suspected the mission was a trap because the rare Thunderstone had appeared so close to Konoha.
• Ren warned Nawaki that the mission might target them and suggested that a traitor or someone in Konoha wanted Nawaki dead.
• Ren sensed approaching shinobi, and masked attackers wearing Iwagakure uniforms surrounded him and Nawaki.
• The future Fourth Raikage revealed himself and threatened to kill Ren for killing his cousin, Tsukiyo Ryuzo.

Ren fought the future Fourth Raikage and his Cloud Ninja squad near Konoha, using Indra’s Chakra to combine Lightning Armor with his techniques. He killed several Cloud Ninjas, while the Fourth Raikage recognized the Flying Thunder God and ordered his remaining men to regroup.

• Ren matched the future Fourth Raikage’s lightning punch with his own Lightning Armor, Iron Body, and Strength Fist, sending the Raikage flying.
• Ren told Nawaki to handle three enemies while he fought the strongest opponent and the other five.
• Ren used Flying Thunder God to kill one Cloud Ninja with a lightning-wreathed Kunai, then reflected on the technique’s heavy Chakra cost.
• Ren cut down another Cloud Ninja after breaking his Lightning Release — Spider Web with Rankyaku.
• Ren caught a Cloud Ninja in his Sharingan’s gaze and beheaded him with the Stellar Katana.
• The future Fourth Raikage recognized Ren’s Flying Thunder God Technique and ordered the surviving Cloud Ninjas to gather together.

Ren fought the elite Cloud Ninjas and injured the future Fourth Raikage, A, but Nawaki was badly wounded while battling two others. Ren teleported to Nawaki as he fell, leaving the fight unresolved.

• Ren faced three Cloud Ninjas, and one used Storm Release—Laser Circus against him.
• Ren countered the lasers with Rankyaku, then clashed with A’s Hell Stab using Finger Pistol and badly injured A’s finger.
• Two Cloud Ninjas overwhelmed Nawaki, scorching him with lightning and severing his arm.
• Ren saw Nawaki falling, became enraged, and used Flying Thunder God to appear before him.

Ren rescued the badly injured Nawaki and used a Leaf Stone to sustain his life before confronting the remaining Cloud Ninja. As the Cloud Ninja tried to retreat, Ren attacked their Storm Release captain and trapped him in an Emotion Genjutsu, while A watched helplessly.

• Ren caught the dying Nawaki and crippled the Cloud Ninja who had attacked him with Chidori Senbon.
• The Storm Release captain ordered the Cloud Ninja to retreat, but A protested and insisted on avenging his cousin and brother.
• Ren placed a Leaf Stone inside Nawaki's heart to sustain his life, then confronted the four remaining Cloud Ninja.
• The Storm Release captain attacked Ren with Laser Circus while urging A and the others to escape.
• Ren walked through the air, countered the lasers with lightning-infused Rankyaku, and used Emotion Genjutsu to plunge the Storm Release captain into sleep.

Ren defeated the Cloud Ninja squad but failed to catch the future Fourth Raikage, who escaped after his comrades bought him time. Ren returned to Konoha with four captives and the gravely wounded Nawaki, while ANBU found Nawaki’s severed arm at the battle site and took it to the Hokage.

• Ren provoked A into attacking, then defeated him in a clash of fists and used Finger Pistol to pierce another Cloud Ninja’s limbs.
• A Cloud Ninja kicked A away and sacrificed himself to help the future Fourth Raikage escape, while Ren captured the remaining Cloud Ninja and Daluqiang.
• Ren sent a fiery-red scroll bearing Roshi’s name, then used Flying Thunder God to return to his courtyard with the captives and Nawaki.
• Ren locked the four Cloud Ninjas in a hidden passage and carried Nawaki toward his secret chamber for treatment.
• ANBU investigated the battle site, found Nawaki’s severed arm, and took it to the Hokage Office.

Ren put the critically injured Nawaki in a healing chamber and sent a message to Orochimaru, while Konoha’s leaders debated the attack and the coming Chunin Ninja Exams. The Third Hokage remained unsure who had accompanied Nawaki, and Ren entered a mysterious space.

• Ren placed the barely breathing Nawaki in a healing chamber and sent a letter to Orochimaru with a summoned snake.
• The Third Hokage warned Konoha’s leaders against harming Nawaki again and ordered Tsunade to be notified.
• The Third Hokage explained that the Chunin Ninja Exams would help determine how the victorious villages divided the benefits of the war.
• The Third Hokage questioned an ANBU agent about Nawaki’s mission and the Lightning Release expert, but accepted that the unknown ninja might be Orochimaru’s helper.
• Ren entered a mysterious space.

Ren received a vast shipment of Resident Evil trash, including technology and zombies, after Indra's Chakra strengthened him through an external enhancement. He restrained the zombies for study and left the Trash Station, reflecting on the day's unexpected encounters and the Cloud Ninja assassination attempt.

• Ren learned that Indra's Chakra counted as an external enhancement, limiting the new trash to the Resident Evil world.
• A castle-like building and numerous zombies emerged from the vortex, and Ren found that his Sharingan Genjutsu could not affect them.
• Ren used lightning to paralyze the zombies and decided to preserve them as experimental subjects rather than risk giving them to Orochimaru.
• Thousands of zombies accumulated in the Trash Station, so Ren returned to his bedroom with the Reversal Summoning Technique.
• Ren recalled that his planned Dog Clan training had led him to the White Snake Sage and Indra's Chakra, followed by a Cloud Ninja assassination attempt.

Ren brought zombies from Resident Evil to Beast King Mountain, where the Dog Clan contained them and he explored the Umbrella facility. He found two test tubes labeled as the T Virus, leaving the dangerous substance in his possession.

• Ren arrived at Beast King Mountain, warned the Sled Dog that the incoming danger required special preparations, and rode Growlithe to Mechanism City.
• Ren ordered the Dog Clan not to touch the corpses and to use Lightning Release to paralyze the zombies before locking them in cages and freezing them.
• The Dog Clan subdued the zombies, while the Natural Orb's Devour consumed much of the wreckage and Ren led the dogs to the Umbrella facility.
• Ren searched the Hive and powered up its central hall, while the Papillons found a medical case containing two tubes of pale green liquid.
• Ren read the labels and identified the liquid as the T Virus.

Ren awakened the Red Queen in the ruined Hive and sought her help producing the T Virus, hoping to strengthen ordinary people into an army. Meanwhile, Orochimaru and Tsunade rushed toward Nawaki, who still had a chance to recover.

• Ren considered using the T Virus to strengthen ordinary people and build a large force.
• The Red Queen appeared on the Hive's screen and discovered she was in an unfamiliar world without a network.
• Ren asked the Red Queen for her stored information and whether she could direct T Virus production.
• The Red Queen agreed to bypass her confidentiality protocols and said Ren would need scientists to help manufacture the virus.
• Tsunade traveled with Orochimaru, fearing Nawaki was dead and asking whether he could still be saved.
• Orochimaru reassured Tsunade that Nawaki could recover after learning his injuries might be repaired with special genes.

Ren returned to Konoha after his trip to the Dog Clan, then met Roshi to deal with a threat to his secret Sharingan. Roshi set out to warn the future Fourth Raikage that his teacher’s life depended on keeping quiet.

• Orochimaru reassured Tsunade that her piece of Qilin Resin could save Nawaki as they hurried back to Konoha.
• Ren returned to his bedroom and reflected on the debris and useful items he had brought back from the Resident Evil world.
• Ren worried that the Cloud Ninja who had seen his Sharingan might expose his secret or investigate his grandfather.
• Ren received a signal from Roshi’s scroll and used Flying Thunder God to meet him at the base outside Konoha.
• Ren told Roshi to find the future Fourth Raikage, A, and warn him to forget what he knew about the Sharingan or risk having his teacher turned into a monster.

Ren learned that the Chunin Exams would draw village leaders and young fighters from across the shinobi world, then found Nawaki recovering with vines growing over his body. After Tsunade returned, Ren proposed that Orochimaru use First Hokage cells to heal Nawaki and possibly awaken Wood Release.

• Roshi told Ren that the upcoming Konoha Chunin Exams would bring the Five Great Shinobi Villages together to watch Genin battles and divide the spoils of war.
• Ren found that Nawaki had regained some vitality overnight, though green vines had grown across his body.
• Tsunade returned exhausted from the Sand Ninja Village battlefield, and Ren assured her that Nawaki was alive before sending her to wash and rest.
• Ren met Orochimaru in his laboratory, where Orochimaru examined the captured Cloud Ninja who had tried to assassinate Ren.
• Ren suggested injecting Nawaki with First Hokage cells, reasoning that Nawaki's lineage and severe injuries might let him survive the treatment and awaken Wood Release.

Ren brought Tsunade to see Nawaki, whose body had become covered in vines after his injury and treatment. Tsunade explained the First Hokage’s account of Wood Release and revealed that she possessed his detailed notes, but she and Ren remained uncertain what was happening to Nawaki.

• Ren persuaded Orochimaru to prepare First Hokage Cells for Nawaki and received a sealed scroll of them.
• Ren used Flying Thunder God to return home, then took Tsunade to the secret chamber where Nawaki lay in a healing device.
• Ren suggested Nawaki’s vines might signal a bloodline awakening, while Tsunade explained that true Wood Release required Water, Earth, Natural Energy, and a special Chakra.
• Tsunade said the First Hokage had given her detailed notes on creating Wood Release, including his account that Nawaki could inherit it only by mastering Natural Energy.
• Ren asked Tsunade to use the notes to determine whether Nawaki was awakening Wood Release, and she said his condition resembled an awakening despite his apparent inability to sense Natural Energy.

Ren arranged for Orochimaru to transplant First Hokage cells into the badly injured Nawaki, hoping to strengthen his newly awakened Wood Release. The chapter ended as Orochimaru began extracting cells while Tsunade worried about the dangers of the procedure.

• Ren concluded that Nawaki had awakened an unusual form of Wood Release by merging his own Water and Earth Chakra with Natural Energy, with the Leaf Stone's vitality helping trigger it.
• Ren brought Orochimaru to his secret medical facility and explained that Nawaki needed First Hokage cells to strengthen his Wood Release.
• Ren led Orochimaru and Tsunade through a hidden passage to a chamber beneath a lake, where he prepared to remove Nawaki from the healing pod.
• Orochimaru examined the vine-wrapped Nawaki and began extracting First Hokage cells as Tsunade voiced concern about their dangerous effects.
• Ren reassured Tsunade that Nawaki would not be in danger and argued that leaving him asleep was the greater risk.

Orochimaru injected Nawaki with First Hokage Cells and genetic material, triggering a dangerous transformation as his wounds healed and his body began turning into a tree. Ren realized Nawaki was awakening Wood Release and remained alive, but the energies in his body had not fully merged.

• Orochimaru warned Tsunade that the First Hokage Cells could kill Nawaki, but Tsunade agreed to proceed because Nawaki had shown signs of awakening Wood Release.
• Orochimaru injected Nawaki with the First Hokage Cells and genetic material, and green light and growing vines began healing his injuries.
• Nawaki's body started turning into wood, and Tsunade feared he was dying, but Ren sensed that his organs and Chakra flow remained intact.
• Ren recognized that the First Hokage Cells were guiding Nawaki's Chakra, elemental energies, and the Leaf Stone's Natural Energy to merge.
• Nawaki opened his eyes and told Tsunade and Ren that he felt well and believed he had awakened Wood Release.
• Ren explained that Nawaki was still in the awakening stage and that the energies had not fully merged, while Orochimaru celebrated his apparent compatibility with the First Hokage Cells.

Ren concealed Nawaki after his Wood Release awakening, while Orochimaru proposed using Senju Clan members for experiments as Konoha's leaders plotted against the clan. Ren was then summoned to Beast King Mountain, where he discovered that the Dog Clan's surroundings had transformed after contact with trash that might contain the T Virus.

• Ren moved tree-transformed Nawaki to a secret Orochimaru stronghold and told Tsunade to keep his survival and Wood Release hidden.
• Orochimaru asked Ren to help obtain Senju Clan members as experimental subjects, warning that Konoha's leaders were preparing to act against the clan.
• Ren told Orochimaru that the Second Hokage's Impure World Reincarnation could bring the dead back, then watched him leave to deal with Tsunade's outburst at the Hokage Office.
• Ren sensed a summons from the Dog Clan and vanished to Beast King Mountain.
• Sled Dog told Ren that the trash had caused mysterious changes, and Ren suspected it had exposed the Dog Clan to the T Virus.

Ren traced Beast King Mountain’s mutations to nuclear radiation in the garbage, which had triggered further evolution in the Dog Clan and plants. He found that the Natural Crystal was overloaded with energy and had begun releasing it, but he and the Dog Clan had no clear way to handle the excess.

• Ren used a Battle Power Scouter and found that the sled dog’s combat power had risen from twenty to twenty-five.
• Ren inspected the radioactive garbage and concluded that nuclear radiation had caused the Dog Clan and Beast King Mountain’s plants to evolve.
• Ren realized that the Natural Crystal had developed a problem and was releasing energy that fueled the plants’ explosive growth.
• Ren rode with the sled dog and the Ghost-Faced Mastiff King to Beast King Mountain’s core, passing mutated vegetation and medicinal herbs.
• Ren found the Natural Crystal beyond its energy limit, while the sled dog said the Dog Clan could not safely absorb the excess energy.

Ren used the Natural Crystal to feed its overflowing energy to frozen zombies, hoping to drain the crystal and restore Beast King Mountain. One zombie evolved into a giant, and Ren ordered more energy poured into it despite Red Queen warning that it might explode.

• Red Queen explained that the fused viruses and nuclear radiation had mutated Beast King Mountain's creatures, and suggested using the zombies to absorb the Natural Crystal's energy.
• Ren ordered the Sled Dogs to bring the frozen zombies and told Red Queen to analyze the new virus.
• Ren activated the altar and directed Natural Energy through Chakra Metal pipes into ten zombies in an iron cage.
• One zombie shattered under the energy, and the others devoured its remains as they began evolving.
• A zombie grew into a five-meter, fiery-red giant and attacked the remaining zombies, then fixed its murderous gaze on Ren.
• Ren ordered more energy poured into the giant to destroy it, and Red Queen warned that the energy buildup could cause an explosion.

Ren used Natural Energy and spatial items to stabilize his Flying Thunder God space while the Dog Clan processed the mutated plants and zombies. The space improved enough for Ren to reach the third stage of Flying Thunder God, though he still needed marks to teleport.

• Ren sent Natural Energy-infused zombies into his Flying Thunder God space, and Red Queen suggested using sealing techniques, Spatial Backpacks, and Poké Balls to stabilize it.
• Ren added Spatial Backpacks from the Pokémon World to the space, which expanded and stabilized as Natural Energy continued to flow into it.
• Red Queen told Ren that the mutated plants had absorbed Natural Energy, neutralizing their virus while leaving them capable of slightly strengthening the body.
• Ren ordered the Dog Clan to clear the plants and kept one hundred zombies, while using the rest as targets for the Natural Energy outpouring.
• An ape-like zombie appeared after resisting the Natural Energy’s effects, and Red Queen identified it as an atavistic creature whose will had vanished.
• After half a day, Ren found that his Flying Thunder God space had stabilized and advanced to its third stage, allowing him to move spatial marks and expand their range.
