Chapter Summaries

The Five Great Nations’ daimyo convened a Supreme Council to address unrest caused by memories of a catastrophe from a previous life. Raikage A accused the Land of Fire and Sasuke Uchiha, and Kakashi defended Sasuke before A attacked him.

• Shixiu opened the council in the Land of Iron, where the daimyo described public panic, idleness, and brigand violence across their nations.
• Raikage A accused Shixiu and the Land of Fire of responsibility for Sasuke Uchiha’s actions, and Kakashi revealed himself as Konoha’s Hokage to warn A to observe protocol.

• Kakashi vowed to defend Sasuke’s name until there was conclusive evidence, and A charged at him with a lightning-powered fist.
• Kakashi opened his eyes to reveal Mangekyo patterns as he prepared to defend himself.

A attacked Kakashi at the Supreme Council, but Kakashi's Mangekyō ability slowed every strike before it could reach him. After A tried blinding him and attacking from behind, Kakashi revealed his defense worked without sight and pierced A's Lightning Release Armor with Purple Electricity.

• A's punches and kicks stopped just short of Kakashi, and Ōnoki explained that his attacks had no effect.
• A unleashed Lightning Release: Myriad Nations Shocking Heaven Fist, but its lightning fists slowed, gathered before Kakashi, and vanished.

• Kakashi turned and pierced A's Lightning Release Armor with Purple Electricity.

Kakashi defeated the Raikage and persuaded Fire Daimyo Shixiu to launch a nationwide search for children with ninja aptitude, hoping to prepare humanity for the gods Sasuke intended to challenge. The other daimyo reacted with outrage as Shixiu announced the policy at the summit.

• Kakashi cut through A's lightning cloak with Purple Electricity, and A abandoned his attempt to attack after realizing how badly he had been wounded.
• Kakashi reflected that Inari Ōkami, Hashirama, Mito, and Sasuke's Infinite Tsukuyomi had left him with an array of powers, and he resolved to grow strong enough to join the Ten Celestial Ninja.

• The Water, Earth, Lightning, and Wind Daimyo condemned Shixiu's plan as reckless and warned that it would trigger an arms race.
• Kakashi and Shixiu recalled their private discussion, in which Kakashi had vowed to support Sasuke and urged Shixiu to commit the nation's resources to preparing for the prophesied Celestial Ninja.

Shixiu defended his proposal for the nations to work together and compete as they prepared for the approaching destruction, while the Daimyo questioned whether the dream was credible and feared public panic. Gaara urged them to tell the truth and unite everyone into a Steel Great Wall, ending with a plea for the leaders to become its founders.

• Shixiu told the four Daimyo that his proposal was meant to help ordinary people and invited the nations to work together, but the Water Daimyo threatened to join forces against him.
• The Wind Daimyo doubted the nations would go to war and reasoned that, if they opposed Shixiu's plan, they would have to compete alongside the Land of Fire.
• The Earth Daimyo asked Shixiu whether the dream was credible, and Shixiu replied that they had already reached their own conclusions.
• Gaara argued that telling people the world faced destruction could ease fear of the unknown, then challenged the Lightning Daimyo for wanting to conceal the truth.

Mei Terumi defended Shixiu and Gaara’s plan to prepare for the prophesied catastrophe, arguing that the people deserved the truth and the nations could not keep delaying. The Water Daimyo supported her continued leadership and suggested she delegate village affairs so she could train, while Nobunaga questioned whether Kusakabe was aligning with Shixiu.

• Mei Terumi backed Gaara’s proposal and urged the daimyos to unite and cultivate a “Celestial Ninja” before the deadline.
• The Water Daimyo warned that mobilizing the population could worsen despair, disrupt society, and leave ordinary people facing a god they could not fight.
• Mei Terumi argued that people had a right to know the truth and that leaders could not escape their duty to protect their nations.

• Mei Terumi offered to resign and focus on training, but the Water Daimyo refused and suggested she delegate village management instead.
• Nobunaga asked whether Kusakabe intended to stand with Shixiu.

At the Supreme Council, Nobunaga proposed the Ark Project: building a spaceship to take humanity to another world and avoid relying on the ninja to defeat Shi Mei. An unexpected visitor, Obito Uchiha, appeared and warned that no other habitable planets remained.

• Nobunaga raised the Daimyo’s concerns that powerful ninja might become a threat after defeating Shi Mei, and Ōnoki explained the risks.
• Gaara challenged Nobunaga’s suspicion of Sasuke Uchiha, but Nobunaga argued that Sasuke’s return was driven by obsession and that the Daimyo needed an independent fallback.
• Nobunaga proposed advancing Scientific Ninja Tool research to build a spaceship and called the plan the Ark Project.
• The council members praised the idea, but an unexpected voice announced that no habitable planets remained for ordinary civilians.
• Obito Uchiha appeared at the council and introduced himself as a failure free in both body and mind.

Obito Uchiha appeared before the Kage and Daimyo, where the Raikage attacked him and Kakashi argued that Obito had turned away from darkness. Mei Terumi then struck Obito with her acid technique, but Free Obito revealed that Tobi was taking the pain in his place.

• The Daimyo panicked at Obito's arrival, and Mifune's sword broke when he attacked Obito, who knocked him into a crater.
• A used a modified Lariat to smash Obito through a wall, but Obito evaded his follow-up attacks and left the Raikage unconscious.

• Mei Terumi attacked Obito with Lava Release, and Free Obito revealed that Tobi was enduring the acid pain in his place.

Obito explained that he had activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi against Sasuke’s original plan and had come to clarify the truth to the Five Nations’ Daimyo. After demonstrating his Six Paths power, he opened the Supreme Council by inviting the Daimyo to decide for themselves, and Shixiu asked him to explain why no other planet could support human life.

• Obito told the daimyo that Earth was the last world where humans could survive and pointed out that the sun was the source of life-giving chakra.
• Obito recounted how the Ōtsutsuki ancestor Taido created the Ten-Tails, whose God Tree produced natural energy and bore Chakra Fruits.
• Obito explained that the Ōtsutsuki planted God Trees across Takamagahara and other Planets, draining their energy and driving their inhabitants to extinction or flight.
• Kakashi recognized that the Ōtsutsuki’s expansion had unfolded across multiple periods, and Obito explained that their plundering stopped when the worlds’ energy was exhausted.
• The Lightning Daimyo guessed that the Ōtsutsuki then fought over their resources, and Obito said King Tarune emerged victorious and purged his rivals.
• Obito revealed that King Tarune’s next plan was to devour the sun itself.

• Obito explained that King Tarune died after trying to devour the sun, and that the sun’s core radiation could destroy an immortal body.
• Obito described how King Zhenruo used the Tenseigan to draw energy from the sun, then sacrificed himself to reignite it when its core began to collapse.
• Obito said the sun developed a trace of will after Zhenruo’s sacrifice and helped King Bore absorb it, making Bore the first supreme god.
• Obito revealed that Bore discovered there were nine suns in the universe.

Obito explained to the Supreme Council that Earth was the last habitable world beneath the final sun, and that the sage lineages had protected it from the God Tree. The leaders abandoned the Ark Project and unanimously committed their nations to training every citizen as a ninja, while a mysterious Ōtsutsuki opened a portal and sought Orochimaru.

• Kakashi and Gaara questioned Obito about the nine suns and the possibility of more gods, and Obito explained how the Ōtsutsuki divided into nine forces to consume the suns and pursue godhood.

• Obito assessed Jigen’s unleashed power from Blue Moon Island and told Tobi that he planned to beat him up.

Jigen searched Pale Moon for Orochimaru and found himself facing Obito, whose Kamui and immense power overturned his expectations. Obito unleashed a colossal Sage Art to destroy Jigen, who answered by revealing the full power of his broken body.

• Jigen used his Byakugan to locate Orochimaru and discovered that powerful ninja, including Hashirama Senju and the Five Kage, were gathered nearby.
