Chapter Summaries

Plot points and events

• Rock detects Fugaku’s hidden position with ripples spreading through the starry sky. Hilde fires the Pirate Ship’s Death Ray, but Fugaku evades it by opening a space-time passage and shrinking away.
• Rock tracks Fugaku again, so Fugaku reveals himself and attacks the ship with enormous asteroids. Nina and Hilde cut them apart, while Simon destroys one with a powerful punch.
• Fugaku forms a devastating black sphere, combining his Death Ray power with Little Ten’s destructive energy. It overwhelms Simon and then detonates, engulfing the Pirate Ship and heavily damaging it.
• Nina attacks with a barrage of sword slashes. Fugaku’s Black Susanoo withstands them and kills her with a single strike.
• Fugaku catches the retreating Hilde in the Susanoo’s hand and kills her with a Death Ray. The ship’s surviving crew suffer catastrophic losses.

Character developments and interactions

• Fugaku shifts from evasion to open, overwhelming combat once the enemy locates him. His newly combined power with Little Ten lets him destroy both individual opponents and the ship.
• Rock coordinates the crew’s response, identifying Fugaku and warning Simon that the black sphere is beyond his ability to withstand.
• Simon, Nina, and Hilde each fight Fugaku directly—Simon with brute strength, Nina and Hilde with swordsmanship—but none can stop him. Nina and Hilde’s teamwork against the sphere also proves ineffective.
• Fugaku taunts Hilde as he pursues her, emphasizing the hopelessness of her resistance.

Significant themes

• Overwhelming power and its cost: Fugaku’s destructive ability decides the battle, leaving the Pirate Ship and its crew devastated.

• Fear and desperation: The crew’s confidence gives way to panic as their attacks fail and their companions are killed.

Plot points and events

• Fugaku returns to the wrecked Pirate Ship and kills the last surviving pirate, an upright-walking dog he suspects ate a Human-Human Fruit. He collects the ship and the pirates’ bodies.
• In Origin Ball Space, he feeds the corpses of powerful fighters to Little Ten, saving the pirates’ heads to exchange for battle merits. He keeps other, more politically sensitive bodies separate, since the Otsutsuki might learn something from them.
• A second pirate crew arrives, finds a fragment of the Storm Pirates’ flag, and realizes the crew has been destroyed. Their giant captain is excited by the danger of the Boundary Domain Battlefield and orders the ship toward its center, hoping to face the Byakugan.
• Exploring the wreck, Fugaku finds a fiery-red Crystal powering the ship’s main cannon. Its energy exceeds that of a Complete Body Ten-Tails. Little Ten eagerly wants it, so Fugaku lets him absorb it.
• Fugaku heads for the Temple to trade the pirates’ heads for battle merits and investigate useful techniques and the requirements for a Tailed Beast to evolve. Three days later, he reaches territory under Wood Realm influence, where injured Otsutsuki return from the battlefield.
• While traveling, Fugaku takes time to visit developed planets and observe Otsutsuki culture. He expects Little Ten’s absorption of the corpses, two Complete Body Tailed Beasts, and the Crystal to eventually trigger a major transformation.

• Little Ten continues evolving by absorbing powerful enemies and now shows a strong desire for the Crystal’s energy.
• The new pirate captain is introduced as huge, bold, and eager for combat, treating the battlefield’s danger as an attraction rather than a warning.

Character interactions

• Fugaku kills the nearly indestructible dog pirate and later gives the Crystal to Little Ten, responding to its expressed desire.
• The new crew’s scout reports finding the Storm Pirates’ flag to their captain; the captain interprets it as evidence of the battlefield’s brutality and commands the crew onward.

• The ship’s leader, a burly man with a hammer, identifies Little Ten as an incomplete Eleven-Tails and challenges Fugaku. His crew recognizes Fugaku’s weapon as the Sea Realm’s treasured Black Blade, once wielded by Storm Sword Saint Frederick, and declares they will kill Fugaku and reclaim it.

• Themes: Creative work can disrupt a regular schedule; the author reassures readers that the usual posting routine will return.

• Their battle lasts three days, leaving both wounded. The opponent’s Armament Haki withstands Fugaku’s Death Rays, establishing him as an unusually formidable adversary.

• The fighter and Fugaku develop mutual recognition as serious opponents, but the fighter withdraws rather than continue after his ship is devastated.

Significant themes

• On the second planet, Little Ten investigates unusually aggressive vegetation and discovers a buried pool of potent Green Liquid. It may accelerate a God Tree’s evolution, but the supply is small. Fugaku bottles some for Orochimaru to study, while Little Ten protects the rest.
• Fugaku then reaches a barren, primordial planet and uses life energy and Wood Release to cool its surface and cover much of it with forest, accelerating its development.

Character developments and interactions

• Fugaku demonstrates immense power and practical ambition: he builds a world for Orochimaru, searches the stars for resources, and begins cultivating planets. He treats Orochimaru as a valued collaborator rather than merely a subordinate.
• Orochimaru is impressed by the Satellite and accepts it as a private laboratory. His research skills are presented as potentially crucial to Fugaku’s pursuit of further evolution.
• Little Ten acts as both scout and partner. It identifies the Green Liquid’s value, explains its potential to aid its evolution, and guards the pool rather than consuming it immediately.

Significant themes

• Progress through cooperation: Fugaku’s strength and Orochimaru’s scientific knowledge may together achieve what power alone cannot.
• Life as something that can be cultivated: Fugaku creates habitats and accelerates a planet’s development, while Little Ten’s vitality links plant growth, planetary life, and evolution.
• Evolution and rare resources: Advancement to the next tier is extraordinarily difficult, making the Green Liquid—and knowledge about it—precious.
• Power paired with restraint: Although Little Ten could absorb the liquid, Fugaku and Little Ten choose investigation and preservation first.

Key plot points and events

• Fugaku relocates the Uchiha clan from the moon to a lush, wildlife-rich planet, where he begins clearing land and establishing defenses. The new world offers far better living conditions than most of Earth.
• Seeking to help Little Ten evolve, Fugaku researches the mysterious Green Liquid and learns it is Water of Life: a rare substance that can promote Tailed Beast evolution and forms unpredictably on Life-Bearing Planets.
• He exchanges more than a hundred defeated Sea Realm fighters for 500,000 merit points, then spends most of them on God Tree Saplings, Bloodline-Purifying Pills, and Chakra-Enhancing Pills.
• Fugaku distributes some Pills to the newly settled Uchiha, Jin, Mikoto, and Itachi.
• He asks Orochimaru to develop a way to detect Water of Life across planets—or, ideally, synthesize it. In return, he gives Orochimaru bloodline-purifying Pills and two drops of Water of Life to study.

Character developments

• Fugaku acts as both clan leader and planner: he secures a new home for the Uchiha, investigates resources for Little Ten’s evolution, and invests in research that could make the search for Water of Life practical.
• Orochimaru eagerly accepts the Pills and the research challenge. After taking one, he senses a faint awakening of Otsutsuki power, reinforcing his ambition and interest in the stars.
• The Uchiha clan begins adapting to its new planet, with leaders surveying the land and considering its wildlife as a training resource for younger members.

Character interactions

• Fugaku coordinates the migration with Uchiha leaders, including Takigawa, Hitoshi, Shisui, and Kenichi, and later gives Takigawa Pills for distribution.
• At the Merit Hall, Fugaku negotiates the exchange of captured Sea Realm fighters and receives a detailed accounting of their value.
• Fugaku and Orochimaru tour the new laboratory, discuss Orochimaru’s major research projects, and agree to collaborate on studying Water of Life. Fugaku promises to leave a clone nearby so he can assist.

Significant themes

• Exploration and scarcity: Even across vast numbers of habitable planets, Water of Life is extraordinarily rare, making discovery a problem of research and scale rather than simple travel.
• Power and advancement: Pills, bloodline inheritance, and merit-based exchange offer different routes to strength and opportunity.
• Ambition and cooperation: Fugaku’s larger plans depend on working with Orochimaru, whose scientific curiosity and desire for power align with the project.
• Building a future: The Uchiha migration marks a shift from protecting the clan on Earth to establishing a broader presence among the stars.

Plot points and events

• Fugaku sends a clone to assist and monitor Orochimaru, who is developing a device to detect Water of Life across the stars.
• He replants God Trees at the sites where Little Ten had absorbed them, then plants seven more on the Water-of-Life planet. He seals the pool, takes half its supply, and leaves Little Ten with several bottles for later growth.
• Fugaku returns to the Boundary Domain Battlefield and uses his captured, resurrected pirate operatives to lure Pirate Crews. Over ten years, he captures hundreds of crews, keeping their fighters alive rather than letting Little Ten absorb their comparatively low-quality energy.
• The Sea Realm eventually springs a trap with multiple Level Eleven fighters. Fugaku escapes by switching places with a clone; his real body is already safely away with the captives.
• At the Boundary Domain Temple, he exchanges 560 captured ships—holding more than two thousand Level Ten fighters—for 56 million battle merits. He spends some on Water of Life, plant essence, pills, and a powerful battle blade.
• Fugaku meets Orochimaru again, who has succeeded in building the Water-of-Life detection device. Meanwhile, the Uchiha have grown into a people capable of living among the stars, aided by Fugaku’s bloodline-purifying pills.

Character developments and interactions

• Fugaku shows strategic caution and growing influence: he monitors Orochimaru, avoids a dangerous ambush, and turns his long campaign into a major resource gain.
• Little Ten continues developing, receiving God Trees and rare nutrients. Fugaku carefully distinguishes between resources that improve its Chakra and those that strengthen its foundations.
• Orochimaru has made progress on his assigned research and greets Fugaku as an old friend.
• The Otsutsuki Temple officials recognize the value of Fugaku’s captures and reward him generously.
• Fugaku’s relationship with the Uchiha remains consequential: his supplies help the clan expand beyond its home planet.

Significant themes

• Quality over quantity: Fugaku concludes that powerful, refined energy is more useful to Little Ten than large amounts of weaker energy.
• Strategic patience and deception: Fugaku builds a long-term capture operation and survives the counter-trap by relying on clones and careful planning.
• Power, resources, and advancement: Evolution depends on rare materials, research, and political or military leverage.
• A changing Uchiha identity: The clan’s growth marks its transition from a planet-bound group to a people of the stars.
