Chapter Summaries

Ren defeated Nagato and the Akatsuki Organization, then spared them by placing Konan in charge of a unit serving the Uchiha Family. The chapter ended with Uchiha Jian Zhen reporting that Madara Uchiha had broken through the seal and entered the family compound’s Inner Court.

• Konan offered to accept Ren’s terms if he spared Nagato, and Ren restrained Nagato beside her as the defeated Akatsuki members abandoned resistance.
• Ren spared Konan and assigned her to lead the Akatsuki Organization as a unit under the Uchiha Family, while saying Nagato had another use.
• Kisame, Kakuzu, Sasori, and the other Akatsuki members agreed to surrender, and Ren ordered them assigned to Heavenly Earth Trading.
• Ren designated the Land of Rain as the Uchiha Family’s medicinal herb production base and made Konan captain of a squad for dangerous missions.
• Uchiha Jian Zhen arrived and told Ren that Madara Uchiha had broken through the seal and entered the Inner Court of the family compound.

After learning that Madara Uchiha had escaped his seal in the Uchiha Inner Court, Ren ordered his forces to return and pursued Obito. Nanami confronted Madara with Ryūjin Jakka, and her flames began to overwhelm his Susanoo.

• Jian Zhen reported that an intruder had bypassed the Inner Court’s defenses and damaged the statue holding Madara’s seal, and Nagato identified the intruder as Obito.
• Ren ordered Jian Zhen and the others to return to the Uchiha Family, sent Konan to escort the Akatsuki back to the Land of Rain with Nagato in separate custody, and pursued Obito using his mental mark.
• Madara broke free and attacked the Inner Court’s barriers, but Nanami stepped forward to defend it as commander of the Uchiha Shrine’s Fourth Squad.
• Nanami revealed Ryūjin Jakka, a weapon forged by Ren, and released its flames against Madara’s Third-Stage Susanoo.
• Nanami’s strike engulfed Susanoo’s blade and spread flames across the giant, whose body began to melt under the heat.

Nanami fought Madara with Ryūjin Jakka, while Black Zetsu discovered that the living blade could grow stronger as it absorbed Chakra. Madara unleashed Complete Body Susanoo against the Uchiha gathered around them, leaving Nanami facing its full power.

• Black Zetsu sensed Yin–Yang Release within Ryūjin Jakka and told Madara that the blade was a living creation capable of growing stronger.
• Nanami poured Chakra into Ryūjin Jakka until its flames shattered Susanoo’s arm, though the blade had not yet reached its full potential.
• Black Zetsu urged Madara to leave and recover his strength, but Madara refused to run.
• Madara expanded Susanoo into its Complete Body form and sent a storm of flaming wind blades toward the Uchiha.
• Uchiha Jian Zhen ordered everyone to retreat as the defenses failed, while Nanami stood ready to face Madara’s Complete Body Susanoo.

Ren returned to the Uchiha clan grounds and stopped Madara’s attack on the Inner Court, revealing that he had awakened the Rinnegan. Madara and Black Zetsu were left stunned as Ren absorbed and shattered Complete Body Susanoo’s blade.

• Nanami refused to retreat and raised Ryūjin Jakka to defend the Inner Court against Madara’s Complete Body Susanoo.
• Ren appeared and stopped Susanoo’s enormous blade with one hand, absorbing its wind and fire.
• The Uchiha clansmen recognized Ren’s return, while Madara struggled to free Susanoo’s blade from Ren’s grasp.
• Madara and Black Zetsu saw Ren’s Rinnegan and questioned how he had awakened it in the days since their last battle.
• Ren intensified his suction and shattered Susanoo’s blade, absorbing its Chakra fragments.

Madara learned that Obito had used his Hashirama Cells to strengthen Nagato, whose altered Rinnegan eventually passed to Ren. As Madara confronted Black Zetsu over the betrayal, Ren began absorbing the flames and wind from Madara’s Susanoo blade.

• Madara questioned how Ren had awakened the Rinnegan in only ten days, and Black Zetsu concluded that the eyes were not Nagato’s original Rinnegan.
• Black Zetsu explained that Obito had revived Nagato and injected him with Madara’s Hashirama Cells, which changed Nagato’s Rinnegan before it passed to Ren.
• Madara became furious that Obito had used his cells without permission, while Jian Zhen ordered the Uchiha clan members to retreat from the platform.
• Black Zetsu said the Akatsuki Organization had strengthened Nagato because Ren had grown too powerful, and Madara vowed to remember the debt.
• Ren gripped the Complete Body Susanoo’s blade and absorbed its flames and wind as Madara demanded to know how Ren had obtained the Rinnegan.

Ren tested Madara's Complete Body Susanoo with a crystal of concentrated repulsive force and destroyed it with a single attack. Madara recovered through Impure World Reincarnation and demanded another fight, but Ren stopped him and asked whether he would admit defeat.

• Ren crushed the Complete Body Susanoo's giant blade with one hand and challenged Madara's claim to the Rinnegan's power.
• Ren formed a small crystal of repulsive force and flicked it at Madara's Complete Body Susanoo.
• The crystal unleashed focused waves of repulsive force that shattered the Susanoo and sent Madara crashing into a courtyard wall.
• Madara regenerated from the rubble, rejected Black Zetsu's warning, and began forming Hand Seals to attack again.
• Ren appeared in front of Madara, stopped without attacking, and asked whether Madara would admit defeat.

Madara and Black Zetsu realized Ren had awakened his Rinnegan himself in just over ten days, possibly after a secret technique stirred dormant Sage of Six Paths bloodline power. Black Zetsu urged Madara to withdraw until he recovered, while Madara questioned whether both of Ren’s pairs of eyes were truly his own.

• Madara tried to connect his Rinnegan to Ren’s eyes but found no link to Nagato or himself, confirming that Ren had awakened them independently.
• Black Zetsu suggested that Ren’s secret technique had activated a dormant Sage of Six Paths bloodline and explained his unusually rapid awakening.
• Madara compared Ren’s ten-day transformation with the decades he had spent waiting for his own Rinnegan to appear.
• Black Zetsu warned that Madara was still weakened and urged him to withdraw rather than fight Ren directly.
• Madara challenged Black Zetsu’s claim that Ren’s Rinnegan belonged to him, and Black Zetsu noted that Ren might not own both pairs of eyes.

Madara and Black Zetsu realized the Ren fighting them was a clone while Ren’s real body revealed that he had deliberately allowed Madara to break the seal. After demonstrating the Rinnegan’s power to reassure the Uchiha, Ren produced two Rinnegan eyes, leaving their purpose unclear.

• Madara detected the clone’s chakra pauses and unstable ocular power, and Black Zetsu confirmed that the Ren before them was not the real one.
• Madara and Black Zetsu considered escaping through the damaged barrier while Ren’s clone fought Madara with the Rinnegan.
• At the Land of Rain battlefield, Uchiha Jian Zhen questioned Ren about his preparations, and Ren admitted that he had deliberately let Madara break the seal.
• Ren used gravity to pin Jian Zhen and nearly force Itachi Uchiha to his knees, then lifted Jian Zhen into the air and lowered him safely.
• Ren explained that Madara was weakened and posed no threat to him, then revealed two purple Rinnegan eyes in his palm.

Ren revealed that Madara had been manipulated by Black Zetsu, a hidden figure who had guided a thousand years of conflict. He explained that he had freed Madara as bait to draw Black Zetsu out and vowed to end the cycle of hatred, while Jian Zhen warned that the plan could plunge the Shinobi World into war.

• Ren showed Jian Zhen and Itachi the Rinnegan and said he wanted to use Madara to draw out the real enemy.
• Ren explained that an unidentified figure who had lived for a thousand years had manipulated Madara, Obito, and others to prolong hatred and pursue a hidden goal.
• Ren said he had deliberately let Madara escape so Black Zetsu would reveal himself, and vowed to subdue Madara, hunt down Black Zetsu, and destroy him.
• Itachi worried that the ancient enemy's power could make Ren's plan dangerous, and Ren declared that he would stop the cycle of hatred before another Madara, Obito, or Nagato emerged.
• Jian Zhen warned Ren that failure could unleash Madara, Black Zetsu, and Obito and bring widespread war and civilian casualties.

Ren revealed that he had been drawing out Black Zetsu, the force behind Madara’s schemes, while his Yin–Yang Release Shadow Clone fought Madara in the Uchiha District. Madara and Black Zetsu escaped, and Ren’s clone stopped Nanami and the Temple captains from pursuing them.

• Ren explained that he intended to seize Black Zetsu when it revealed itself, and Nagato and Itachi realized that Ren had used the Akatsuki and Madara to expose it.
• Madara and Black Zetsu examined Ren’s clone, and Madara identified it as a Yin–Yang Release Shadow Clone capable of enduring attacks and using Rinnegan powers.
• Black Zetsu urged Madara to retreat before Ren returned, and Madara admitted that Ren had won this encounter.
• Madara and Black Zetsu broke through the remaining Barrier and fled beyond the Uchiha District.
• Nanami and the Temple captains wanted to pursue Madara, but Ren’s clone raised a hand to stop them.

After Madara escaped, Ren urged the Uchiha to grow strong enough to face him without relying on their clan leader. Ren then proposed using Nagato’s unusual body to cultivate the Mangekyō Sharingan and offered him a choice between cooperating and being used after death.

• Ren explained that Madara’s weakened reincarnated body would not last long, but said his escape should spur the Uchiha to become stronger.
• Nanami and the Temple members accepted Ren’s warning and resolved to prepare for Madara’s return.
• Jian Zhen asked Ren to spare Nagato because of his Uzumaki ancestry, and Ren agreed he had not intended to kill him.
• Ren proposed transplanting Three-Tomoe Sharingan into Nagato, using the powers in his body to try to develop the Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Nagato refused to become another person’s vessel, but Ren offered him status and resources for cooperating and threatened to use his body regardless if he refused.

After Uchiha Ren defeated Nagato in the Land of Rain, Darui reported to the Raikage that Ren had taken Nagato’s Rinnegan and awakened twelve of his own. The Raikage and his officers struggled to explain Ren’s unprecedented power, leaving them to regard him as a shinobi beyond ordinary understanding.

• Darui delivered a report to the Raikage stating that Ren had defeated Nagato and taken both of his Rinnegan.
• Darui revealed that Ren had awakened his own Rinnegan from his Mangekyō Sharingan and manifested twelve Rinnegan around his body.
• The Raikage ordered Darui to explain the report, and Darui described Ren breaking Nagato’s techniques and overpowering him with the full power of the Six Paths.
• Darui explained that Nagato had controlled six modified corpses through black rods, while Ren wielded the Rinnegan’s abilities himself.
• The Raikage rejected the theory that the Uchiha had a Rinnegan bloodline, and Darui argued that Ren’s growth made him an exception beyond the Uchiha of the past.

Reports that Ren awakened twelve Rinnegan and defeated Nagato’s Six Paths of Pain alarmed the major ninja villages, which began preparing for the threat he posed. At Madara’s secret base, Madara concluded Ren’s eyes came from an ancestral Uchiha bloodline, while Black Zetsu feared the Sage of Six Paths had empowered Ren to stop Kaguya’s resurrection.

• Reports said Ren had awakened twelve Rinnegan, taken Nagato’s eyes, destroyed the Six Paths of Pain, and dismantled the Akatsuki Organization.
• The Tsuchikage, Kazekage, Mizukage, and Hokage assessed Ren’s power, while the villages restricted intelligence, recalled elite ninja, and strengthened their defenses.
• Black Zetsu and White Zetsu returned to their secret base with Madara and confirmed that Ren had seized Nagato’s Rinnegan, though Nagato was still alive.
• Madara concluded Ren’s Mangekyō Sharingan had evolved through an ancestral reversion of the Uchiha bloodline.
• Black Zetsu considered whether the Sage of Six Paths had deliberately granted Ren power to prevent Kaguya’s resurrection, and feared Ren’s possession of Nagato’s eyes would derail the plan.

Madara learned that Uchiha Ren had defeated Nagato, taken both Rinnegan, and absorbed the Akatsuki Organization into the Uchiha Family. As his Impure World Reincarnation body deteriorated, Madara released it and returned to the Pure Land, while Black Zetsu revealed that Madara himself had only ever been his pawn.

• Black Zetsu reported that Ren had defeated Nagato, taken both Rinnegan, and forced Obito to retreat into the Kamui Dimension.
• Madara ordered Black Zetsu to monitor the Uchiha Family, search for the Rinnegan, watch Obito, and assess the decay of Madara's Impure World Reincarnation body.
• Madara decided to release Impure World Reincarnation and assigned Black Zetsu responsibility for the Rinnegan, Obito, and the Eye of the Moon Plan.
• Madara's body crumbled into dust, and his soul returned to the Pure Land.
• Black Zetsu dismissed Madara's belief that he controlled events and revealed that Madara had been his pawn for a thousand years.

Black Zetsu decided to keep Madara Uchiha alive as a necessary part of the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, while the Shinobi World reacted to Uchiha Ren awakening his own Rinnegan. Seireitei invited the major powers to a conference, leaving the Raikage wondering whether Ren intended to make the nations submit.

• Black Zetsu judged that forcing Ren to surrender the Rinnegan was nearly impossible and planned to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to capture him instead.
• Black Zetsu said Madara Uchiha was still useful and could not disappear before the Infinite Tsukuyomi was complete.
• News spread that Ren had taken Nagato's Rinnegan and awakened a Rinnegan of his own, prompting the major villages to strengthen security and track the Uchiha Family.
• Seireitei invited the Five Great Shinobi Villages, other villages, national Daimyo, and prominent figures to a conference in the Land of Fire, warning that unexplained absences would be treated as hostility.
• The Raikage and Darui discussed the invitation, and the Raikage questioned whether Ren planned to display his strength or force every nation to submit.

Darui and the Raikage concluded that the Uchiha Family’s power and economic influence made refusing the Seireitei Conference impossible, while Konoha struggled to understand Ren’s purpose. Ren denied that he intended to dominate the Shinobi World, but the chapter left the conference’s true aim unknown.

• Darui warned the Raikage that the Uchiha Family’s strength and businesses made the Seireitei Conference a show of force, and that anyone absent would be treated as an enemy.
• Darui told the Raikage that the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning could not afford to refuse the invitation, while other countries’ daimyo might underestimate Ren.
• Darui said Konoha believed Ren might use the conference to reshape the Shinobi World, and the Raikage feared he would impose new rules or make other factions his vassals.
• The Third Hokage asked Tsunade what Ren intended, and Tsunade relayed Ren’s message that Konoha should not assume he meant to dominate the world.
• Konoha Ninja debated Ren’s purpose, but none knew why he had summoned the Shinobi World to Seireitei.

The Third Hokage prepared Konoha for Ren’s Seireitei Conference while Uchiha leaders worried about his intentions and the power represented by his Rinnegan. Ren addressed the gathered clan, explaining how strength had protected the Uchiha from oppression, but the chapter ended before he finished explaining the conference’s purpose.

• The Third Hokage ordered Konoha to monitor Seireitei and prepare a delegation for the conference.
• Uchiha Shisui and Itachi Uchiha wondered whether Ren planned to force the Shinobi World into submission, and Shisui hoped Ren still sought true peace.
• Ren arrived at the Uchiha gathering, where an elder asked what the conference was meant to accomplish.
• Ren recalled how Konoha had watched and suppressed the Uchiha, and explained that he had publicly displayed their strength to stop the pressure.
• Ren said the Uchiha were stronger now but were still feared, and a young clan member protested that they had not started a war.

Ren announced that the Seireitei Conference would seek a World Peace Treaty, with the Uchiha acting as its neutral guarantor and enforcing it against anyone who started a war. As the Uchiha welcomed the possibility of preventing future conflicts, elders warned Ren that arbitration would burden the family, provoke resentment, and could make the Uchiha enemies of the Shinobi World.

• Ren explained that past peace agreements had failed and proposed a treaty banning wars, forced annexations, and violence against civilians and shinobi.
• Ren said the Uchiha would oversee the treaty, investigate violations, judge offenders, and enforce its terms.
• Shisui, Itachi, and other Uchiha supported Ren's proposal, believing the family's strength could deter treaty violations.
• An elder warned Ren that guaranteeing the treaty would force the Uchiha to arbitrate the Shinobi World's many disputes and anger whichever side lost.
• Another elder and Uchiha Jian Zhen cautioned that nations might secretly undermine the Uchiha, and that one unfair ruling could turn the family into a target.
• Shisui and Itachi grew concerned as the elders warned that the Uchiha could eventually become enemies of the entire Shinobi World.

Ren addressed the Uchiha elders’ concerns about becoming guarantors of the world peace treaty by proposing a professional system to handle routine disputes and treaty enforcement. He planned to use the treaty to establish Uchiha Offices in every nation, giving the clan an official presence while leaving resistance to the nations themselves to resolve at a cost.

• Uchiha Jian Zhen and other elders warned that treaty disputes could expose the clan to suspicion, endless work, and damage to its prestige.
• Ren proposed recruiting and training notaries, arbitrators, auditors, and enforcement personnel from every nation under the Uchiha Commerce Department’s oversight.
• Ren said the Uchiha would provide rules and military backing, intervening only when parties obstructed investigations or refused arbitration.
• Jian Zhen questioned whether the nations would resist a system ultimately backed by Uchiha force, and Ren said they could resist if they accepted the cost.
• Ren announced that the Uchiha would establish treaty-recognized Offices in every nation to handle notarization, arbitration, resource registration, and trade coordination.
• A clan member recognized that the Offices would let Uchiha personnel enter nations openly under the treaty rather than relying on trade caravans to gain a foothold.

Ren revealed that the Uchiha’s treaty and commercial network would support Heavenly Treasury Gold, a gold-backed currency issued by the family. He explained how banks, notarization fees, and internal trade would bring it into circulation, but Jian Zhen remained convinced that Ren sought something beyond service fees.

• Ren explained that the World Peace Treaty would let the Uchiha establish Offices and protect their commerce across the nations.
• Jian Zhen questioned why Ren was taking such risks when the Uchiha already had wealth and could expand their trade gradually.
• Ren revealed that his true goal was Heavenly Treasury Gold, a gold-backed currency issued by the Uchiha.
• Ren said the treaty would secure recognition of Heavenly Treasury Gold, while Uchiha banks, notarization services, business settlements, and salaries would create demand for it.
• Ren explained that banks and exchange channels would let merchants and clan members convert Heavenly Treasury Gold across nations.
• Jian Zhen noted that fees and exchange profits were not worth the risk, and Ren confirmed that service fees were not his goal.
