Naruto returned to class with Ino, who openly called him Dad and left Hinata confused about her place in his life. After spending Mom Coins on several rewards, Naruto considered who might be responsible for Mikoto’s future death, while Hinata asked if she could call him Dad too.
Hinata Hyuga challenged Ino Yamanaka over who could call Naruto Uzumaki Dad, and Naruto’s provocative handling of the dispute helped Hinata reveal a sharp talent for roasting people. The system rewarded him with 30 additional Mom Coins after Hinata’s original life trajectory changed.
Naruto Uzumaki was caught between Ino Yamanaka and Hinata Hyuga as the two competed to be his closest “mom.” After Iruka defended Naruto to Inoichi Yamanaka in the Hokage’s Office, Hiruzen Sarutobi dismissed the children’s strange bond as a good thing and urged the adults not to interfere.
Naruto drew Lightning Release: Lightning Blade and began planning to combine it with Fire Release, while Uzuki Yugao's growing maternal affection changed her life trajectory and earned him more Mom Coins. Meanwhile, Sasuke Uchiha trained with Itachi Uchiha and vowed to defeat Naruto in their next match.
Naruto encountered Inuzuka Hana and Izumi Uchiha, who confronted him over his fight with Kiba, and quickly defeated them with Lightning Release. He tied the two sixth-graders to stakes at a training ground and began preparing skewers, leaving them alarmed about what he planned to do to Hana’s unconscious dogs.
Naruto Uzumaki forced Inuzuka Hana and Izumi Uchiha to accept his strange master-and-mom arrangement, earning the system’s rewards for both. Uzuki Yugao watched and wondered when Naruto would grow up.
After Izumi Uchiha and Inuzuka Hana resolved to train so they could defeat Naruto Uzumaki, Naruto gained new rewards, including the Rasengan, and demonstrated the technique. Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Naruto use it and decided to leave his behavior alone until Tsunade returned.
Naruto returned to the Academy, kicked Sakura aside when she confronted him, and persuaded Hinata and Ino to give him their money and train harder. After school, he took both girls to the training ground to teach them chakra training.
Naruto faced a rain-soaked trip home, but Mikoto and Yugao came to care for him, while Hinata grew more assertive toward her clan. The chapter ended with Danzō confronting Shisui Uchiha and declaring he would take his Sharingan.
Itachi Uchiha abruptly left the training grounds, deepening Izumi Uchiha’s worry about him and Shisui Uchiha. Naruto Uzumaki defeated and frightened Izumi Uchiha and Inuzuka Hana, then offered to train them; afterward, Hinata Hyuga prepared food for Naruto.
Hyuga Hiashi discovered Hinata’s affectionate message and went to confront Naruto after learning she was spending time with him, while Tsume Inuzuka also challenged Hiruzen Sarutobi over Naruto’s treatment of Hana. Hiruzen persuaded both clan heads that Naruto’s influence was beneficial, and Naruto secretly regarded Hiashi as another piece in his plans.
Naruto trained Ino Yamanaka, Hinata Hyuga, Izumi Uchiha, and Inuzuka Hana, earning Mom Coins as the girls’ strength improved. Izumi’s progress and growing closeness with Naruto contrasted with Itachi Uchiha’s belief that she had dressed up for him, while he feared they might soon part.
Naruto strengthened his bonds with Mikoto Uchiha, arranged private training for Izumi Uchiha, and continued preparing for danger to the Uchiha clan. His latest system draws gave him a powerful genjutsu-controlling reward.
Naruto Uzumaki began the Ninja Academy term, humiliated Sasuke Uchiha in the exams, and rejected Sakura Haruno's sudden confession. He left to meet Mikoto Uchiha as she prepared to return to the Uchiha compound, while Itachi Uchiha set out there after meeting Shimura Danzō.
As Itachi Uchiha began the Uchiha Clan massacre, Naruto Uzumaki disguised himself as Izumi Uchiha and intervened to protect Sasuke. Naruto fought Itachi as the neighbors began to notice the disturbance, and the chapter ended with Itachi casting Tsukuyomi and Naruto activating Genjutsu Modifier.
Naruto trapped Itachi Uchiha in his own Tsukuyomi and subjected him to seventy-two hours of Mamba-themed torment while refusing to debate his reasons for attacking the Uchiha. Outside the illusion, Obito Uchiha and Shimura Danzō reacted to disruptions during the massacre, leaving Mikoto Uchiha and Izumi Uchiha under the protection of powerful allies.
Naruto gathered his classmates and their parents to protect Mikoto Uchiha, and Hiruzen Sarutobi’s team caught Root operatives targeting her. Naruto’s actions saved Mikoto and Izumi Uchiha, but he was left facing Obito Uchiha, who pierced his chest after Naruto sprang a trap.
Obito Uchiha killed Naruto, but Mother's Protection revived him behind Obito, letting Naruto badly injure him with an experimental attack. Obito escaped with Itachi Uchiha, while Naruto preserved Mikoto Uchiha, Izumi Uchiha, and the Uchiha Clan and took a sample of Obito’s White Zetsu tissue.
Naruto rescued Sasuke from Root agents and staged his own apparent rescue as the Nine-Tails’ chakra drew Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others to him. Mikoto Uchiha awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan after finding Naruto and Sasuke, while Hiruzen turned his anger toward Danzo.
Naruto used Mikoto Uchiha’s gift of Mom Coins to draw rewards while pretending to be unconscious, then went to the hospital with Sasuke Uchiha. There, he blamed Shimura Danzō for both the Nine-Tails’ Attack and the plan to wipe out the Uchiha Clan, leaving Hiruzen Sarutobi and the assembled jonin shocked.
Naruto accused Shimura Danzō of masterminding the Nine-Tails' Attack and the Uchiha massacre, using a piece of Hashirama Cells to support his story. Hiruzen Sarutobi confronted Danzō at Konoha Hospital and tore out the Sharingan hidden beneath his bandages.
Hiruzen confronted Danzo over Shisui’s murder, the Uchiha massacre, and human experiments, but Mikoto killed Danzo with her Mangekyō Sharingan when Hiruzen tried to spare him. Naruto then admitted to Mikoto that he had fabricated Danzo’s role in the Nine-Tails’ Attack to make sure she saw her enemy punished.
At the Uchiha clan’s collective funeral, Izumi Uchiha learned that Itachi had tried to kill Naruto while he was disguised as her, and the revelation triggered her Mangekyō Sharingan. Naruto reunited with Mikoto Uchiha, who chose to take him home, while the system upgraded Izumi to an A-rank Mom.
After the Uchiha Clan's funeral, Naruto comforted Mikoto Uchiha and asked whether Sasuke should live with them, but she decided he should remain at the Uchiha Compound. Uzuki Yugao took Naruto away for her turn caring for him and confronted him about risking himself alone at the compound.
