Ch. 441This Planet Has Quite a Few Powerful Fighters

  • Momoshiki is badly weakened after using Rinne Rebirth to revive Hashirama and Madara. Yi considers whether Momoshiki could be made to plant Kāma marks on others, but admits he does not know how to make him do so.
  • Yi seals Momoshiki with the Six Paths: Eight Trigrams Seal. He warns Hashirama and Madara to watch the Ōtsutsuki, who can remove and consume their own eyes to grow stronger.
  • Mikoto and Kushina continue beating Urashiki, whom they must prevent from escaping. Kaguya hopes to claim his possible Chakra Fruit, as Yi promised it to her.

Character developments and interactions

  • Kagami chooses duty over anger toward Madara, accepting his return as necessary for the village and the world.

  • Kaguya relishes Momoshiki’s defeat, remembering that he once took advantage of her when she was vulnerable. Her enthusiasm also reflects her eagerness to gain Urashiki’s possible Chakra Fruit.
  • Mito watches Yi’s sealing technique and recognizes that her former student has surpassed her.
  • Madara and Hashirama are entrusted with guarding the sealed Momoshiki.

Significant themes

  • Duty over personal grievance: Kagami sets aside his anger for the sake of Konoha and the wider world.
  • Power and its costs: Momoshiki’s diminished condition shows that even an Ōtsutsuki pays a price for using immense power.

  • Strategic use of enemies: Yi and Kaguya view the captured Ōtsutsuki not only as defeated foes, but as possible sources of power and advantage.

Ch. 442Uchiha Yi Deserved a Terrible Death

Key plot points and events

  • Momoshiki realizes the defenders are too strong to defeat and considers escaping by taking a new vessel. He weighs several candidates, including Madara, Hashirama, Tobirama, Kagami, Mito, and a mysterious child, but decides to choose whoever gets close enough.
  • Uchiha Yi reaches Urashiki and quickly subdues him, aided by Kushina and Mikoto. Urashiki’s ability to rewind time cannot overcome Yi’s superior strength.
  • Kushina receives Urashiki’s Kāma and expects to absorb his power, adding it to Kurama’s and the other Tailed Beasts’ chakra. She hopes to become as powerful as Hyuga Rinka, who has already absorbed much of Isshiki’s power.
  • Yi searches Urashiki’s Fish Basket, finds a relatively weak Chakra Fruit, draws some chakra from it, and gives the fruit to Kaguya as promised.
  • Yi then begins using Sacrificial Elixir Refinement on Urashiki, treating him as nourishment. Urashiki recognizes the technique and understands how Yi became so powerful.

Character developments and interactions

  • Momoshiki shifts from confidence to desperation, secretly planning to survive by possessing one of the defenders.
  • Yi demonstrates overwhelming strength and a willingness to consume Ōtsutsuki for power. He keeps his promise to Kaguya, who responds by becoming more trusting and compliant.
  • Kushina is pleased to receive Urashiki’s Kāma and looks forward to gaining both its power and his Dōjutsu.
  • Urashiki, once confident in his abilities, is horrified when Yi subdues and begins consuming him. He concludes that Yi’s power will attract the wrath of the wider Ōtsutsuki clan.
  • Yi, Kushina, and Mikoto work together to capture Urashiki; Kaguya and Yi share a brief exchange over the Chakra Fruit.

Significant themes

  • Power and survival: The Ōtsutsuki seek vessels, chakra, and escape routes to survive, while Yi turns their own methods against them.
  • Predator and prey: The usual hierarchy is reversed: powerful Ōtsutsuki become resources for Yi.
  • Growing strength and its cost: Yi’s power increases through consumption, but Urashiki warns that this may bring consequences from even stronger Ōtsutsuki.

Key plot points and events

Ch. 444The Use of Kinshiki Otsutsuki

Key plot points and events

  • Uchiha Yi calls Kushina Uzumaki and Mito Uzumaki over because both have Kāma marks. He explains that the marks contain Ōtsutsuki power and that, if the souls inside are erased, the power can become theirs.
  • Yi uses his Dōjutsu to erase Momoshiki and Urashiki’s souls. Kushina and Mito can now absorb and learn to use the power stored in their Kāma.
  • Mito senses that the power is greater than the Nine-Tails’ and hopes it will help her protect Konoha and the wider Shinobi world.
  • Orochimaru points out that Kinshiki is still alive, hoping to study him. Yi asks Kaguya how to create Kāma; she teaches him, and he quickly learns the technique.

  • Yi proves able to neutralize Ōtsutsuki souls and turn their power into a resource for others. Momoshiki and Urashiki recognize him as a grave threat to their clan.
  • Kushina eagerly welcomes the prospect of gaining power, especially the chance to combine it with Kurama’s strength.
  • Mito shifts from relying on the Nine-Tails to considering Ōtsutsuki power as a new means of protecting others.

  • Kaguya cooperates when Yi asks for the Kāma method, relieved that he is not confronting her over past matters.
  • Madara recommends Hashirama as Kinshiki’s vessel, partly because he wants his old rival to keep pace. Hashirama respectfully refuses, committed to his own path.

Significant themes

  • Power and its consequences: Kāma offers extraordinary strength, but only after the Ōtsutsuki soul within it is dealt with.
  • Reversal of predator and prey: Yi treats the Ōtsutsuki as resources, reversing their customary domination of others.
  • Self-determination: Hashirama declines an easy power increase in favor of pursuing his own development.

Ch. 445Orochimaru: I'll Do It Myself

Key plot points and events

  • Tobirama sees Kinshiki’s power as a chance to become strong enough to challenge Madara, while Madara remains confident that no new power could make him a threat.
  • Uchiha Yi takes control of Kinshiki, extracts his Chakra, makes him implant a Kāma on Tobirama, then kills Kinshiki and erases his soul.
  • Tobirama’s new Kāma strengthens the Shinobi World’s defenses. Yi reflects that many powerful protectors remain, and that the recovering world and its Tailed Beasts will continue to grow stronger.

Character developments and interactions

  • Tobirama becomes eager to gain Ōtsutsuki power, hoping it will help him overcome his longstanding disadvantage against Madara.

  • Orochimaru shifts from longing for a Kāma to pursuing an independent route through scientific study, especially of Ōtsutsuki cells.

Significant themes

Ch. 446They Have Already Sealed Their Fate

Key plot points and events

  • Uchiha Yi assigns Kaguya Ōtsutsuki to teach the others Ōtsutsuki fighting methods, while they teach her shinobi tactics and practical combat experience.
  • He sets Uchiha Mikoto’s next goal as mastering Six Paths Sage Mode and, eventually, six-path yin-yang power. He rejects implanting a Kāma, preferring training through their own strength rather than consuming Chakra Fruits.
  • Yi hints that he and Mikoto, Hyuga Rinka, and Kushina Uzumaki should begin having children. The three women welcome the prospect; Kaguya privately wonders whether she might join them.
  • Yi asks Madara about Uchiha Fugaku, whom he sees as a valuable potential fighter. He believes conflict can accelerate the Shinobi World’s development, though Hashirama objects to the suffering this would cause.
  • Yi plans to limit battlefield involvement for children under fifteen and improve the harsh environments of the Land of Wind and Land of Rain.
  • After returning to the Shinobi World, Yi intends to wage war on the Land of Wind and nearby small countries, then expand westward. He hopes Fugaku might unite the Land of Lightning and offer a serious challenge. Yi expects conquered territories to accept Konoha if it provides food and stability; those who continue resisting, he says, will face destruction.

Character developments and interactions

  • Uchiha Yi emerges as a pragmatic, expansionist leader: he promotes self-powered advancement, controlled warfare, and environmental improvement, but is willing to annihilate persistent opposition.

  • Progress through conflict: Yi sees controlled war as a means of accelerating development, while Hashirama emphasizes the human cost.
  • Reconstruction and conquest: Environmental restoration and providing for conquered peoples are paired with coercive expansion.
  • Power, family, and the future: The prospect of children links personal relationships to the group’s long-term plans and the future of the Shinobi World.

Ch. 447Our Goal Is the Sea of Stars (The End)

Plot and events

  • The Land of Fire unexpectedly invades the Land of Wind. Under Uchiha Yi’s direction, Konoha advances gradually, first taking nearby territories and restoring them rather than trying to conquer the whole country at once.
  • Konoha pairs military expansion with visible improvements for ordinary people: it distributes land, plants forests, digs rivers, and promises to transform the desert. Yi uses his enormous Susanoo to cut a passage through the mountains between the Lands of Rain and Wind, bringing a major waterway into the desert.
  • These changes win some local support and divide both Sunagakure and the population between resistance and cooperation. The Daimyo’s nobles and samurai fight fiercely, but Konoha’s superior forces and intelligence blunt opposition. Yi leaves the campaign to Tobirama and the other leaders, confident Konoha can manage it without his direct involvement.
  • While Konoha expands, Yi continues absorbing Chakra from Shibai Ōtsutsuki’s body, growing stronger at an exceptional rate.
  • In Konoha Year 52, Yi and Sasuke’s first son is born. Kaguya recognizes Indra’s Chakra in the baby, though Yi suspects Hagoromo has given Sasuke a portion of it rather than making him a straightforward reincarnation.
  • Yi says he intends to leave the Shinobi World in about ten years, once he has assimilated Shibai’s Chakra. He and Kaguya then set their sights on the “sea of stars.”

Character developments and interactions

  • Uchiha Yi has become powerful enough to leave Konoha’s campaign in others’ hands. His focus is shifting toward absorbing Shibai’s power and preparing for life beyond the Shinobi World.
  • Kaguya Ōtsutsuki shows tenderness and curiosity toward Sasuke, whom she regards as a promising future ally. Though she declines to reunite with Hagoromo and Hamura, she says she wants to learn how to be a good mother. She also asks Yi to protect her as they leave their world.
  • Tobirama Senju, supported by Konoha’s rising generation of powerful shinobi, is trusted to oversee the campaign and handle the work Yi no longer needs to manage.
  • Sasuke, though a newborn, is presented as exceptionally pure in bloodline and carries a trace of Indra’s Chakra—suggesting a significant future role.

Significant themes

  • Power used to reshape society: Konoha wins support not only through force but by improving land, water, and living conditions.
  • Conquest and self-determination: Ordinary people weigh resistance against the promise of better lives and shared governance, while the ruling elite fight to preserve their status.
  • Family and legacy: Sasuke’s birth, Kaguya’s interest in motherhood, and the inherited Chakra connect personal relationships to the future of the world.
  • Looking beyond the familiar: Yi’s planned departure frames the chapter as a transition from domestic and political concerns toward exploration of the wider universe.
