Chapter Summaries

Fang Xu persuaded Hiruzen Sarutobi to demand full war reparations, then joined Tsunade and Nazi in Shikkotsu Forest and explained how he planned to improve traditional senjutsu. The chapter ended with Tsunade seeing how effortlessly Fang Xu maintained senjutsu chakra compared with her own unstable control.

• Fang Xu argued that lasting peace required either unifying the shinobi world or overwhelming military power, and Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed to demand full reparations from Kirigakure and Iwagakure.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi promised to record Fang Xu's battlefield achievements and let him redeem supplies, while considering the selection of the Fourth Hokage.
• Fang Xu used Flying Thunder God to reach Shikkotsu Forest, where the Slug Sage's attendant explained that the training pool helped practitioners absorb natural energy.
• Tsunade and Nazi described the difficulty of balancing natural energy with physical and mental energy, and Nazi called traditional senjutsu an incomplete, temporary enhancement.
• Fang Xu revealed that he had made progress on an improved senjutsu method and demonstrated perfectly stable senjutsu chakra, leaving Tsunade struck by the gap in their control.

Fang Xu explained his long-term senjutsu cultivation method and asked Tsunade to help him approach Kushina for Nine-Tails Chakra. Tsunade gave him an introduction letter and warned him to keep the extraction safe and secret before he left the Shikkotsu Forest.

• Fang Xu explained that his modified senjutsu would integrate natural energy into the body permanently, but he still needed to refine its adjustments before anyone could practice it.
• Nazi continued training, while Tsunade reluctantly returned to the pool despite the risk of slug-like mutations.
• Tsunade realized Fang Xu had come to the Shikkotsu Forest to collect Nine-Tails Chakra from Kushina for his chakra research.
• Tsunade offered Fang Xu a letter of introduction and advised him to approach Minato before speaking with Kushina.
• Tsunade warned Fang Xu not to endanger Kushina or let Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō learn of the plan, and he promised to act carefully.
• Fang Xu took Tsunade's signed letter and used Space Power to leave the Stone Forest.

Nazi reasoned that Fang Xu had ended the Third Shinobi World War, and Tsunade resolved to master Shikkotsu Forest Senjutsu so she could visit the Pokémon World and its Game Corner. Fang Xu exchanged cultivation materials for an enhanced Six Treasury Immortal Thief, mastered it, and began refining food into his first strand of qi.

• Nazi told Tsunade that Fang Xu had likely dealt with all three fronts and collected chakra from every tailed beast except the Nine-Tails.
• Tsunade decided to train harder in Senjutsu and looked forward to gambling at Celadon City's Game Corner in the Pokémon World.
• Fang Xu exchanged the Lightning Body-Tempering Technique, Six Powers manual, Chakra Refinement Technique, and chakra with Ruan Feng's Six Treasury Immortal Thief.
• Ruan Feng received the cultivation materials, reconsidered devouring the foreigners on Kangchenjunga, and left to pursue a new path.
• Fang Xu absorbed the enhanced Six Treasury Immortal Thief and used it to digest food, strengthen his body, and form his first strand of qi.
• Fang Xu continued cultivating as he studied how food and life energy transformed into qi.

Fang Xu discovered that cultivating the Azure Essence Sword Art depleted his cells, then developed a reverse Qi-to-essence conversion that replenished them. He created the Human Immortal Martial Way, but still lacked a complete Spirit Refining method and could not freely return to worlds he had visited through exchanges.

• Fang Xu realized that the Azure Essence Sword Art drew energy from his cells and could shorten his lifespan without external nourishment.
• Fang Xu spent ten days adjusting the six bowels' circulation until it converted Qi into life energy that replenished his cells and balanced the Azure Essence Sword Art's energy expenditure.
• Fang Xu combined the new cycle with Six Treasury Immortal Thief, Life Return, Armament Haki, and lightning body-tempering to create the Human Immortal Martial Way.
• Fang Xu concluded that he still needed a complete Spirit Refining method to unite essence, Qi, and spirit into a Fundamental Great Method.
• Fang Xu recalled the cultivation inheritances in The Outcast, but recognized that his Random Transmigration Plugin could not lock onto worlds he had only visited through exchanges.
