Ch. 361Kaguya Is So Sensual, The Otsutsuki Clan’s Hidden Secrets

Plot points and events

  • Naruto challenges Kaguya to test the gap between her Kekkei Mōra and his own power. Her strongest attacks cannot penetrate his black shield, and he easily freezes the space around her, demonstrating overwhelming superiority.
  • Naruto warns Kaguya not to resist, then pulls her close and declares that he will make her his woman. Kaguya maintains a defiant act, insisting she will never submit.
  • The next day, the public learns that Naruto shattered the moon with one punch and protected the world from the resulting shock wave with a barrier. At Tsunade’s suggestion, he gathers the fragments with Planetary Devastation and forms a new moon.
  • Naruto questions Kaguya about the Ōtsutsuki Clan, threatening to seal her away again if she refuses to cooperate. She explains the clan’s spacefaring civilization, God Tree cultivation, and its hierarchy of protected members and guardians.

Character developments and interactions

  • Naruto is confident and curious, testing Kaguya before quickly dismissing her as no threat. He also enjoys her performance of resistance and uses intimidation to obtain information.
  • Kaguya is frightened by Naruto’s power but conceals her feelings behind defiance. She agrees to explain the clan, reasoning that helping Naruto may also benefit her.
  • Naruto listens closely and recognizes that Ōtsutsuki pairs such as Kaguya and Isshiki, or Momoshiki and Kinshiki, likely followed the protected-member/guardian relationship.

Significant themes

  • Power and vulnerability: Naruto’s strength makes even Kaguya’s most formidable techniques ineffective and leaves her unable to escape.
  • Public awe and godhood: The moon’s destruction transforms Naruto, in ordinary people’s eyes, from a respected “god” into a literal divine figure.
  • Hierarchy and sacrifice: The Ōtsutsuki system divides members into protected elites and obedient guardians, whose duty may require self-sacrifice.
  • Performance and coercion: Kaguya’s outward defiance contrasts with her fear and constrained choices, while Naruto’s threats shape their exchange.

Ch. 362Kaguya Otsutsuki Submits, Returning to the Uzumaki Clan’s Homeland / The Traditional Welcome Ceremony, Kaguya Otsutsuki’s Embarrassment and Anger

Key plot points

  • Kaguya recounts her past: born into the Ōtsutsuki Branch Family, she was meant to be sacrificed to the God Tree. She killed Isshiki, ate the God Tree’s fruit, and prepared to resist the Main Family by creating White Zetsu. Her sons, Hamura and Hagoromo, opposed her, and she was sealed on the moon.
  • Naruto questions how powerful the Ōtsutsuki are. Kaguya says most are around Kage level; only those who cultivate a Ten-Tails reach Six Paths level. Naruto is reassured that the clan is less formidable than he feared.
  • After a week together, Kaguya submits to Naruto and accompanies him through Yomotsu Hirasaka to the Uzumaki compound.
  • Tsunade and the other women recognize Kaguya. She initially insults them and threatens them, but Naruto orders her to treat them as sisters, and she backs down.
  • Naruto welcomes Kaguya with a meal. Though she has no need to eat, she loves his cooking and devours everything, then blushes at her lack of restraint.

Character developments and interactions

  • Kaguya’s account reveals both her resentment toward the Ōtsutsuki hierarchy and her pride in her heritage. Despite her former status as a goddess, she becomes obedient around Naruto, though she remains contemptuous of ordinary people.
  • Naruto is blunt and confident: he challenges Kaguya’s plan to use White Zetsu against the Ōtsutsuki and asserts authority over her behavior at the compound.
  • Tsunade and the others are initially excited and curious about Kaguya, then privately take satisfaction in seeing Naruto keep her in check. Naruto’s cooking gives Kaguya an unexpectedly vulnerable, human moment.

Significant themes

  • Hierarchy and rebellion: Kaguya’s history is shaped by the injustice of the Ōtsutsuki family system and her attempt to escape it.
  • Power and submission: The chapter contrasts Kaguya’s immense status and strength with her deference to Naruto.
  • Humanizing the extraordinary: Food and embarrassment soften Kaguya’s image as a distant, divine figure.
  • Belonging and adaptation: Kaguya is brought into Naruto’s household, though her acceptance of its members—and their acceptance of her—remains tentative.

Ch. 363This Is the Power of Science

Naruto’s wives induct Kaguya into their circle after he introduces her to delicious food; her angry protests suggest that the welcome involves more than a meal. Naruto is otherwise content with domestic life and daily diary-driven growth, but remains cautious about the Ōtsutsuki Clan. He postpones attacking their stronghold until he believes he can overcome its mysterious leader, the God of Ōtsutsuki.
In Konoha, Naruto hears that Hiruko has completed his long-running effort to perfect the Chimera Technique. At the experimental base, Hiruko explains that Naruto’s support—advanced equipment, rare materials, and a capable research team—made the work possible. He then presents Kidomaru, formerly one of Orochimaru’s subordinates, as the subject of the technique’s demonstration. Naruto follows them to the training ground to see what the research has achieved.
Character developments and interactions: Kaguya is drawn in by Naruto’s cooking and becomes the focus of the wives’ teasing welcome. Naruto balances a comfortable family life with persistent strategic caution. Hiruko, now well-supported rather than hunted, has completed his research and proudly credits Naruto; Kidomaru respectfully prepares to demonstrate the results.
Themes: Enjoyment and domestic comfort coexist with the need to prepare for future threats. The chapter also emphasizes how resources, collaboration, and scientific experimentation can transform a dangerous technique into a more refined power.

Hiruko explains that the technique has raised Kidomaru from Chunin-level strength to Kage level.
  • Hiruko says the technique has been refined to avoid its former drawbacks: it uses soulless clones grown in cultivation chambers, so users face no spiritual damage or backlash. Naruto praises Hiruko and decides to apply the technique to his army, asking him to build in a restriction.
  • Naruto leaves the base, intending to use his growing force of Kage-level ninja as a vanguard for his eventual conquest of the universe.

  • Sasuke’s abilities and circumstances: Sasuke has undergone advanced genetic treatment involving Hashirama’s cells, causing both of his eyes to evolve into Rinnegan. One has become a Tomoe Rinnegan. He is proud of this achievement, but Naruto’s reminder that Sasuke’s power ultimately derives from Indra’s chakra deeply irritates him, straining their friendship temporarily.
  • Sasuke’s family life: Naruto once helped preserve the Uchiha bloodline by bringing several pure-blooded Uchiha women from the past. Sasuke married all of them to restore the clan, but domestic life became miserable. His wives constantly argued, demanded his attention, and eventually began directing their hostility toward him. Their strange behavior and the physical toll of marriage led Sasuke to spend three years away from home, officially investigating the Ōtsutsuki Clan but privately escaping his wives.
  • Sasuke encounters the Ōtsutsuki: While traveling through the Land of the Sea, Sasuke hears a massive disturbance and flies to a ruined temple on a floating island using his Perfect Susanoo. There he finds Momoshiki and Kinshiki, immediately recognizing them as Ōtsutsuki because of their clothing and horns.
  • Conflict begins: Momoshiki contemptuously calls Sasuke a lesser creature and questions why Kaguya would allow humans to possess Ōtsutsuki power. He orders Kinshiki to kill Sasuke. Kinshiki attacks with a transforming Divine Tool, first taking the form of a huge axe.
  • Sasuke versus Kinshiki: Sasuke manages to block Kinshiki’s initial strike, surprising Kinshiki and proving that his sword is durable. However, Kinshiki’s immense strength, speed, and constantly changing weapon overwhelm him. Kinshiki breaks through Sasuke’s first-stage Susanoo, injures his chest, and sends him flying.
  • Sasuke’s counterattack: When Kinshiki brings his axe down, Sasuke uses his space-time ability to switch places with a stone statue, avoiding the blow. He then throws a barrage of giant shuriken at Kinshiki, though Kinshiki dismisses the attack as technically poor and prepares to respond.

Character Developments and Interactions

  • Sasuke: Despite possessing dramatically enhanced powers, Sasuke remains insecure and frustrated—first by Naruto’s comments about his Rinnegan and later by his inability to handle his family life. His encounter with Kinshiki shows that raw power alone may not be enough against a true Ōtsutsuki warrior.
  • Momoshiki: He is arrogant, dismissive, and deeply contemptuous of humans and Kaguya’s choices. He treats Sasuke as an inferior being and delegates the fight to Kinshiki.
  • Kinshiki: Though loyal to Momoshiki, he is more observant and practical. He is surprised by Sasuke’s sword and substitution technique but remains confident in his own combat ability.
  • Sasuke and Naruto: Their relationship is marked by rivalry and irritation, but Sasuke also respects Naruto’s strength and endurance, especially his ability to manage an enormous household.

Significant Themes

  • Power and inherited strength: Sasuke’s Rinnegan development highlights the story’s focus on biotechnology, genetics, and inherited chakra rather than purely traditional training.
  • Humanity versus divine beings: Momoshiki’s disdain for Sasuke establishes the conflict between ordinary shinobi and the superior Ōtsutsuki Clan.
  • Duty versus personal escape: Sasuke claims to be protecting the world by investigating the Ōtsutsuki, but his mission also functions as an escape from his chaotic marriage and domestic responsibilities.
  • The restoration of the Uchiha clan: Sasuke’s marriages reflect an attempt to preserve his bloodline, though the plan creates personal and emotional problems rather than a simple solution.

  • Momoshiki rebukes Kinshiki for losing his composure, gives him a small Chakra Fruit to restore his strength, and says they should target Kaguya first. He dismisses Sasuke as no serious threat and sets off with Kinshiki.
  • Sasuke returns to Konoha and finds Naruto at home with his happy family. The contrast makes Sasuke privately jealous of Naruto’s domestic life.
  • Sasuke reports the Ōtsutsuki arrival to Naruto and the others, describing the two intruders and warning that Momoshiki appears stronger than Kinshiki. Naruto remains calm and thanks Sasuke.

Character developments

  • Sasuke shows tactical ingenuity and formidable battlefield experience, but the fight exposes the limits of his chakra and stamina. His return also reveals his envy of Naruto’s settled family life.
  • Kinshiki is powerful but inexperienced and easily provoked; his desperation to prove himself nearly costs him his life. He accepts Momoshiki’s guidance and restoration.

Ch. 378Naruto Uzumaki’s Plans, A Powerful Divine Technique!

Key events

  • Urashiki concludes that Momoshiki and Kinshiki were killed by Kaguya after Momoshiki recklessly attacked the Shinobi World. He assumes no native could have defeated them and decides to approach the world cautiously, since he cannot take Kaguya’s Ten-Tails or Chakra Fruit by force.
  • In Konoha, Naruto finds Tenten training furiously. She admits she feels unsettled because traditional weapons are becoming less popular as the unified Shinobi World adopts Scientific Ninja Tools and a more organized military.
  • Naruto reassures her that declining weapon sales reflect greater peace and reminds her that she oversees weapon purchasing for the Shinobi Army. He then gives her an Ōtsutsuki Divine Tool that can transform into many kinds of weapons.
  • Thrilled by the gift, Tenten agrees to study it with Orochimaru and explore whether similar tools can be produced in quantity. The scene ends with Naruto and Tenten leaving together.

Character developments and interactions

Ch. 379Urashiki: Did I Travel Back to Ancient Times?

  • Naruto’s diary and reward: The women react to Naruto’s lecherous idea of holding a stockings party. Their teasing turns into a playful argument over who should indulge his wishes, with several comparing Hinata’s and Kurotsuchi’s figures. Naruto is unaware of the conversation. He receives his first divine technique, Harada Hikonomikoto, which lets him mark a span of time, travel freely within it, and instantly detect outsiders who enter it. He marks the period from his birth to the present, giving him a way to detect and counter anyone attempting to alter his past.
  • Urashiki’s plan: On the moon, Urashiki studies Momoshiki’s message and infers that an unknown force on the planet killed both Momoshiki and Kinshiki. He decides to hide while identifying this threat, intending to use his time-traveling tool, Karasuki, to go back and eliminate the person before they became powerful. Confident in Karasuki and his other Divine Tools, he descends to the Shinobi World.
  • Naruto’s reputation: In a remote country, Urashiki quickly learns about Naruto. Instead of finding only obscure legends, he discovers that Naruto’s deeds are widely known among ordinary people. The excerpt ends just as Urashiki realizes that the formidable figure he imagined truly exists.
    Character development and themes: Naruto gains control over time travel and a powerful defense against changes to his past. Urashiki is calculating and self-assured, but his assumptions about the planet—and his confidence that he can rewrite events—set up a potential clash with Naruto’s new ability. The chapter combines playful, flirtatious banter among Naruto’s wives with themes of power, time, reputation, and the danger of trying to change history.

Ch. 380Demon Fox?

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Urashiki Otsutsuki investigates Naruto Uzumaki and discovers that Naruto is not an ancient being but a leader born roughly thirty years earlier. The evidence suggests that Naruto personally killed Momoshiki and Kinshiki and achieved extraordinary power in a remarkably short time.
  • Shocked and intimidated, Urashiki briefly considers fleeing. However, he convinces himself that Naruto’s history may be fabricated or that Naruto’s rapid growth could mean he lacks a proper foundation.
  • Urashiki decides to use the time-traveling Divine Tool Karasuki to travel back over thirty years and verify Naruto’s origins. If Naruto truly existed during that period, Urashiki plans to kill him while he is still young; if not, he will retreat.
  • Karasuki transports Urashiki to the Land of Hot Water, but it cannot identify an exact time period. Urashiki therefore begins traveling toward Konoha on foot while recovering his strength and determining when he has arrived.
  • During his journey, Urashiki observes that the earlier Shinobi World is impoverished, war-torn, technologically backward, and suffering from widespread malnutrition. This contrasts sharply with the peaceful and prosperous world Naruto later created.
  • Urashiki begins to admire Naruto’s accomplishments despite himself, realizing that transforming the entire Shinobi World within thirty years would be remarkable even if Naruto were an ancient being.
  • Naruto immediately senses Urashiki’s arrival through the power of Harada Hikonomikoto, which allows him to detect outsiders who do not belong to the time period. Naruto vanishes to confront or investigate him.
  • Urashiki disguises himself and joins a merchant caravan traveling from the Land of Wind to Konoha. The caravan leader, Yōichi Mizuguchi, boasts that they hired a Jonin-led Ninja team for protection.
  • Urashiki suspects the unusually cheap hiring of a Jonin indicates a hidden mission. Soon afterward, Kumogakure Ninja ambush the caravan, prompting a battle between them and the supposedly hired Sunagakure Ninja.

Character Developments

  • Urashiki Otsutsuki: His confidence is shaken by Naruto’s accomplishments, revealing that he fears an opponent whose growth defies Ōtsutsuki expectations. He regains composure by relying on strategy, time travel, disguise, and the advantage of acting from the past. His growing respect for Naruto is mixed with caution and suspicion.
  • Naruto Uzumaki: Naruto is portrayed as an immensely powerful and vigilant leader. His ability to detect Urashiki across time demonstrates the extraordinary scope of his abilities and suggests that he is already aware of the threat.
  • Yōichi Mizuguchi: The caravan leader is presented as a practical merchant pleased with the profitable arrangement and confident in the protection his caravan supposedly possesses.

Significant Themes

  • Fear of unprecedented genius: Naruto’s rapid rise challenges the assumptions of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and makes even Urashiki question his own superiority.
  • Power and historical legacy: The contrast between the ruined past and prosperous future emphasizes the magnitude of Naruto’s achievements.
  • Strategy versus strength: Rather than confronting Naruto directly, Urashiki relies on investigation, time travel, deception, and indirect positioning.
  • Changing worlds: The chapter highlights how drastically societies can transform over a few decades through the actions of a powerful leader.
  • Uncertainty and hidden motives: The suspicious merchant caravan and the unexpected Ninja battle suggest that multiple factions are pursuing secret objectives.

Character Interactions

  • Urashiki internally debates Naruto’s identity and abilities, moving from fear to rationalization and finally to renewed confidence.
  • Yōichi speaks with Urashiki about the caravan’s security and the value of hiring a Jonin-led Ninja team, while Urashiki responds skeptically.
  • The caravan’s hired Sunagakure Ninja clash with the attacking Kumogakure Ninja, beginning a larger conflict whose true purpose remains unclear.
  • Naruto becomes aware of Urashiki’s presence, setting up their impending confrontation.
