Chapter Summaries

Plot and key events

• Hashirama struggles to get his first delivery order, frustrated by the competition among hundreds of thousands of shinobi couriers.
• Veteran courier Mu advises him to accept scheduled orders and build up experience and good reviews. Mu then rides off on his pig, Rose, so fast that a Uchiha police officer chases him for speeding.
• Hashirama accidentally accepts an urgent order: fifty grilled-squid skewers from Konoha’s Gyuki Grilled Squid shop to a customer in Sunagakure, with only thirty minutes to deliver.
• After the shop takes ten minutes to prepare the food, Hashirama rushes for the village exit. Kagami Uchiha stops him to scan his courier ID, but Hashirama’s five-year-old phone freezes, costing him another two minutes.
• With time running short, Hashirama uses his giant Wood Release Buddha to cross the remaining distance. Sunagakure raises its highest alert, fearing an attack.
• Hashirama arrives just in time, standing on the Buddha’s hand, and tells the stunned recipient that their squid order has arrived—then asks for a good review.

Character developments and interactions

• Hashirama begins as an inexperienced, anxious courier but quickly becomes determined to succeed. His urgency and immense power collide comically with the mundane problems of food preparation, phone lag, and delivery rules.

• Tobirama, with Hashirama’s support and Izuna’s help, conducts an experiment to revive the dead using the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu. Orochimaru assists, while Black Zetsu supplies ten White Zetsu as sacrifices—largely because he sees the arrangement as profitable.
• The jutsu succeeds, reviving the Senju and Uchiha patriarchs, Butsuma and Tajima, along with other figures. Butsuma and Tajima immediately resume their old rivalry, until their sons intervene.

• Orochimaru asks whether the resurrected elders can be freed from their Impure World Reincarnation bodies. Dave says a Rinnegan technique would be needed. Madara learns the method from Tobirama and uses the Rinne Rebirth to restore ten people to life, at the cost of his own rapidly failing body.
• Kaguya intervenes, using her blood to revive Madara and extend the lives of everyone present by roughly a century. The group returns to the village.
• Back home, Butsuma and Tajima announce that the resurrected children must attend school—and eventually marry and have children—prompting their comic protests.

• Sacrifice and the cost of life: Madara risks his life to revive others; Kaguya’s intervention underscores the limits and consequences of that power.

• Daiyue’s classmates recount his past disasters: flooding the school, burning down a building and nearby trees, and demolishing the playground with explosive tags. He also once frightened the gate guard so badly that the man suffered a heart attack. Kawarama is left wondering just how formidable Daiyue is.
• Meanwhile, the Senju and Uchiha elders adjust to their new lives. Mito and Kaguya’s social group grows with the return of Xianzi and Huina. Butsuma avoids Tajima’s challenge to spar, claiming he has to help with the children.
• Frustrated, Tajima turns to his sons. Izuna escapes by claiming Tobirama needs him for an experiment, but Tajima orders Madara to marry within a month and produce a grandchild the following year. Madara initially refuses, then flees when Tajima threatens to involve his mother.

Character developments and interactions

• Kawarama is nervous about being isolated among the Uchiha, but his concern shifts to alarm when he learns about Daiyue’s destructive reputation.
• Daiyue is embarrassed and resigned about being barred from the exam, though he does not deny his past exploits. His friends tease him, and Fugaku asks whether Dave would be pleased if he won first place.
• Butsuma avoids a confrontation with Tajima by presenting himself as a tired, devoted great-grandfather; his calm evasion only makes Tajima more frustrated.
• Madara and Izuna remain wary of their father. Izuna escapes, while Madara is cornered and pressured into marriage, revealing that the threat of their mother is more persuasive to him than Tajima’s demand alone.

• Hashirama poses as “Zhumei,” using Transformation Technique at first. Madara tells him to drop the transformation and use makeup, since Madara’s parents could see through it with their Sharingan. After discovering Hashirama’s hairy legs, they negotiate over removing the hair; Hashirama agrees when Madara raises the payment to ten million.
• The pair head to Madara’s family home, where Hashirama says he is ready to perform the romantic-drama role he once acted in. Just as they approach the entrance, someone calls out to Madara’s older brother, interrupting their arrival.

Character developments and interactions

• Izuna reveals he agreed to work as Tobirama’s laboratory assistant for a month in exchange for his cooperation.

• Just as Madara and Izuna prepare to leave with the guests, Butsuma arrives carrying the sleeping Little Mikoto. He notices Zhumei’s rapidly regrown leg hair, threatening to expose Hashirama’s disguise.

Key plot points and events

• Kumogakure faces a similar baseless attack. Dave casually announces that the group will fight the village, prompting the Third Raikage to protest.
• The Second Raikage steps forward to defend Kumogakure and challenge Danzo. Danzo tests his new technique by repeatedly using Izanagi to survive the Second Raikage’s Lightning Release attacks.
• Danzo then uses the Reaper Death Seal. The Second Raikage’s soul is taken, but Danzo escapes the technique’s cost with Izanagi, leaving the Death God confused. The Second Raikage dies.

• When reinforcements arrive, Sakumo cuts down more than a dozen shinobi with his sword. Orochimaru shoots another with a Desert Eagle he says can pierce the First Hokage’s Wood Release.
• The surviving assistant decides to attack Hiruzen, assuming his stern expression means he is weak; Hiruzen watches in bewilderment as the man charges.

Character developments and interactions

• Danzo is eager to test his new technique and shows little concern for the danger or consequences of his attacks. His use of Izanagi makes him seem especially shameless to the onlookers.
• The Second Raikage, despite his age and injury, stands up for his village and accepts his apparent death as a worthwhile trade if it means killing the Third Hokage—though Danzo’s survival makes that sacrifice futile.
• The Third Raikage shifts from bafflement to fury after witnessing his father’s death, but Kagami quickly incapacitates him.
• Dave treats the conflict as a casual outing, while Kagami, Hiruzen, Sakumo, and Orochimaru react with varying degrees of exasperation, lethality, and scientific curiosity.
• Orochimaru studies the Reaper Death Seal and casually uses a firearm; Sakumo proves deadly with a sword. The Raikage’s assistant misjudges Hiruzen, setting up a comic confrontation.

• Power without restraint: The group treats village-level destruction and lethal techniques as routine.
• The cost and limits of sacrifice: The Second Raikage’s willingness to die for his goal is undercut when Danzo evades the seal.
• Unreliable appearances: The assistant assumes Hiruzen looks weak because he appears serious, illustrating how badly characters misread one another.

Key plot points and events

• As Hiruzen fights the Raikage’s assistant, Dave, Danzo, and Kagami refuse to help, joking that Hiruzen promised to treat them. Sakumo and Orochimaru pretend not to have heard.
• Hiruzen tries to summon Enma, but Enma refuses to appear. In the Ape Tribe, he explains to his son Yuanluo that a summon should never join a summoner who is already fighting—advice learned through a humiliating past experience.
• Hiruzen summons Yuanluo instead and turns him into a staff. The Third Raikage gets up to attack but vomits repeatedly, apparently still affected by the group’s earlier “Terrorist Feces.”
• As the Raikage charges, he spots the yellow staff and collapses in midair. His assistant turns to catch him, leaving himself exposed; Hiruzen accidentally thrusts the staff into the assistant’s backside. Hiruzen immediately dismisses Yuanluo.
• Yuanluo returns to the Ape Tribe unharmed physically but traumatized and bloodied. Enma recognizes the scene and is horrified.
• On the journey home, Hiruzen tells the group that Enma has ended their summoning contract and placed him on the Ape Tribe’s blacklist.

Character developments

• Hiruzen is repeatedly humiliated: abandoned by his allies, unable to summon Enma, and responsible for Yuanluo’s horrifying first battle. He ends the chapter melancholy and isolated.
• Enma reveals hard-won, deeply personal knowledge about the dangers of being summoned into a fight, then becomes alarmed when his son returns in a dreadful state.
• Yuanluo eagerly obeys Hiruzen, but his first summoning experience leaves him visibly traumatized.
• Dave, Danzo, and Kagami remain shamelessly amused and unhelpful, though Danzo later offers to help explain the accident. Dave’s baffled reaction hints that he may have reason to be wary.
• The Third Raikage is still weakened by the earlier ordeal and cannot complete his attack.

Significant themes

• Comradeship versus selfishness: Hiruzen’s allies choose jokes and spectatorship over helping him.
• Accidental harm and consequences: Hiruzen’s mistake is unintended, but it damages Yuanluo and costs him his relationship with Enma.
• Humiliation as recurring comedy: The chapter’s slapstick mishaps connect Enma’s past experience to Hiruzen’s present one.
• The cost of reckless summoning: Yuanluo’s traumatic debut shows that a summoning contract can expose its creatures to danger beyond their control.

Character interactions

Character developments and interactions

• Dave knows the stream is likely to be revolting but watches anyway, with predictably nauseating results.
• Black Zetsu shows himself to be an attention-seeking, shameless streamer who turns even a disgusting fight into an opportunity to solicit gifts. White Zetsu acts as his cameraman and tries to avert the camera when the contest becomes too much.

Significant themes

• The chapter satirizes livestream culture, especially gift-driven performance, audience engagement, and creators pushing for increasingly outrageous content.
• Vast differences in wealth and casual extravagance are played for comedy.

• White Zetsu supports Black Zetsu by filming and relaying gift activity, but redirects the camera during the worst of the fight.

Plot points and events

Significant themes

• The chapter satirizes livestream culture, online gift battles, and fan communities that become detached from reality.
• It humorously contrasts idealistic slogans about youth with ordinary concerns like bedtime and family discipline.
• Online loyalty is shown as powerful but misguided: fans keep supporting their leaders even when the stream has no visible streamer.

Plot and key events

• Daiyue, watching from Konoha, takes the insult personally and decides to travel to Kirigakure using Flying Thunder God markers he planted during earlier travels.

• When the Mizukage prepares to fight, Daiyue summons a vast number of shadow clones, which begin unleashing forbidden techniques from multiple elements and preparing a billion explosive tags. He then escapes using Flying Thunder God, leaving the Mizukage surrounded by the impending attack.
• Back in Konoha, Daiyue reunites with Yuner. The explosive tags detonate over Kirigakure, and wind techniques shape the resulting clouds into Yuner’s face. Daiyue reveals the display as a gift to repay her for giving him a scarf; she is delighted, and Milu smiles from her room.

• After several hours, Kagami becomes wildly drunk. He insults Izuna and Madara, threatens them with a nonsense technique called “Feces Reading,” then declares his friends treat him “like my father.”
• Dave, Hiruzen, and Danzo turn on Kagami, and Madara finishes the beatdown with Shinra Tensei, reducing the street to rubble. Dave pays the tavern owner five million ryo for the damage.
• Danzo and Hiruzen take the unconscious Kagami to the hospital, where Dave kicks him out of a window. Dave then reveals that Madara’s attack destroyed a street Danzo had developed as Hokage, putting a 500-million-ryo payment at risk.
• Furious, Danzo threatens to use the Reaper Death Seal on Kagami. Dave tries to calm him down, repeating the same sort of excuse he had just dismissed over the five-million-ryo bill.

Character developments and interactions

• Hashirama is frustrated by losing to Madara and blames the disturbance, while still treating the fight between Dave and Danzo as harmless play.
• Dave and Danzo maintain that their earlier battle was “messing around,” despite Dave’s bruises and his account of Danzo relying on Izanagi. Their friendship also has a practical, irreverent side: Dave pays for the destruction, then needles Danzo about his unpaid contract.
• Kagami shifts from a normally restrained drinking companion to a belligerent, boastful drunk who insults his seniors and proclaims his closeness to his friends—only to be beaten by them.
• Madara is initially part of the competitive banter with Hashirama, then reacts to Kagami’s insults with overwhelming force.
• Hiruzen and Danzo try to manage Kagami, but ultimately join in the violence; afterward, Danzo’s anger turns toward the lost money.

Significant themes

• Drunkenness and chaos: A friendly night out escalates into insults, a beating, and property destruction.
• Comedic hypocrisy and escalation: Characters dismiss serious events as play or trivialize harm, yet react intensely when money or pride is threatened.
• Friendship expressed through rough treatment: Kagami’s declaration that the others are his brothers prompts an immediate, brutal response rather than sentiment.
• Power used casually: Techniques capable of enormous destruction are deployed in a setting where the characters are ostensibly just drinking.

Key plot points and events

• Kagami wakes in the hospital, heavily bandaged and confused about how he got there after a night of drinking with Madara and his teacher.
• Hiruzen tells him to watch the Military Police footage. Kagami discovers that, while drunk, he made a scene and fought so wildly that people were afraid to stop him after he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Kagami has seven broken ribs, fractures in both arms, a shattered left shin, and a length of wood embedded in his thigh. Hiruzen falsely claims Kagami stabbed himself with the wood while being carried to the hospital, concealing that Danzo had attacked him. Once the anesthetic wears off, Kagami’s agonized scream frightens people nearby.
• Meanwhile, recording begins for The Voice of Konoha, a singing competition sponsored by the Love Kidney Company. Host Senju Dave introduces four coaches: Kakuzu, Madara, Black Zetsu, and Danzo.
• Dave gives Kakuzu and Madara elaborate, joking introductions, but struggles to say anything flattering about Black Zetsu. Danzo takes the microphone and delivers an increasingly long political speech, until Dave cuts him off and orders the director to remove the footage. Dave then introduces the first contestants, Might Duy and Might Wei.

Character developments and interactions

• Kagami is horrified and ashamed when he learns what he did while drunk, then bitterly laments his inability to control himself.
• Hiruzen is exhausted from the night’s events and tries to manage Kagami’s questions while hiding Danzo’s role in his injuries.
• Dave acts as the show’s irreverent host, trading barbs with Black Zetsu and losing patience with Danzo’s off-topic speeches.
• Danzo treats the show as a platform for political messaging, while the other coaches—Kakuzu, Madara, and Black Zetsu—mostly play along with Dave’s comic introductions.

Significant themes

• Drunkenness and consequences: Kagami’s reckless behavior leads to severe injuries and embarrassment.
• Satire of public performance and politics: The talent show’s cheerful format clashes with Danzo’s endless political rhetoric.
• Comedy through secrecy and exaggeration: Hiruzen’s cover story and the contestants’ absurd nicknames turn serious events into farce.

Key plot points and events

• The Youth Gang—Might Wei, Might Duy, and one hundred other members—performs an exuberant song-and-nunchuck routine. The coaches don’t turn around, but the group is thrilled by Dave’s insincere encouragement.
• Dave learns from Kakuzu that the gang advanced because Might Duy’s wealthy girlfriend, the group’s only woman, invested 300 million ryo in exchange for a contestant slot.
• Kaguya Otsutsuki takes the stage but doesn’t sing, unsure what the competition requires. Black Zetsu presses his button anyway, having paid Kakuzu 500 million ryo to help his mother advance. Dave asks the director to add a song in post-production and announces Kaguya’s success.
• Kaguya leaves, then returns to the audience when she hears her grandson Asura is next. She finds Indra there too and tells both grandsons to come home for dinner afterward.

Character developments and interactions

• Dave becomes increasingly exasperated by the show’s corrupt, connection-driven auditions, but has to hide his frustration and politely indulge the contestants.
• Kakuzu treats the bribery as ordinary business, explaining the investments behind the Youth Gang and Kaguya’s advancement.
• Might Wei and Might Duy take Dave’s praise at face value and enthusiastically promise to improve and return next year.
• Black Zetsu uses his position as a coach—and a huge payment—to secure Kaguya’s place, praising a performance that never happened.
• Kaguya remains detached and confused by the contest, but turns into a caring, matter-of-fact grandmother when she sees Asura and Indra together. Indra, meanwhile, is embarrassed that Asura dragged him along.

Significant themes

• Corruption and rigged competition: Money and personal connections matter more than talent.
• Satire of entertainment shows: The chapter mocks fake praise, backstage manipulation, and the absurdity of pretending the contestants earned their success.
• Family bonds amid farce: Kaguya’s concern for her grandsons contrasts with the shamelessly compromised competition.

Plot points

• Asura performs his self-written song, “Brothers for Life,” for an audience that includes his brother Indra and several powerful figures.
• His singing is so painfully bad that nearly everyone in the venue collapses. Madara’s protective Susanoo fails, Kakuzu shoots two of his own hearts, Black Zetsu flees underground, and even Danzo passes out before using Izanagi.
• Kaguya finally sends Asura away through a portal, ending the performance. Dave orders the director to blacklist him, but the director mishears him as offering a raise.
• At the hospital, Asura eagerly asks Indra what he thought of the performance and announces that his next song will be about loving Grandma. Kaguya, unable to disappoint him, praises his singing.
• Kaguya asks where the hospital kitchen is, prompting the brothers to panic. She borrows it to cook for them, mistakes rat poison for salt, and begins preparing a chicken.

Character developments and interactions

• Asura remains enthusiastic and oblivious to how disastrous his singing is, seeking approval from Indra and Kaguya.
• Indra is horrified by his brother’s performance and later fears both Asura’s singing and Kaguya’s cooking will endanger everyone.
• Kaguya is affectionate toward Asura and encourages him despite her reservations; her well-meaning cooking creates a new threat.
• Dave, Kakuzu, and the audience react to the song with escalating panic, while Hashirama accidentally reveals the kitchen’s location and becomes the brothers’ target of alarm.

Significant themes

• Comic exaggeration: Asura’s singing is portrayed as a force capable of incapacitating even formidable characters.
• Family affection versus honesty: Kaguya’s love for Asura leads her to praise his talent despite the truth.
• Recurring danger through good intentions: Both Asura’s performance and Kaguya’s cooking cause harm despite their innocent intentions.

Plot points and events

• Kaguya arrives at the hospital with homemade soup for Asura and Indra. The brothers pretend to be asleep, then seize their chance to escape when they hear Madara and Hashirama arguing in the neighboring ward.
• A nurse reports that Madara and Hashirama are critically ill after eating food contaminated with rat poison, chicken waste, pesticide, and very strong alcohol. Kaguya reveals she mistook white vinegar for alcohol, prompting Asura and Indra to flee in alarm.
• The next day, Madara and Hashirama remain hospitalized. Kaguya calmly writes down lessons about preparing chicken and distinguishing alcohol from vinegar. Hashirama and Madara promptly faint again.
• Back home, Asura learns he has been banned from Konoha’s Got Talent. Undeterred, he uploads a song called “My Dear Grandma” to Konoha Music.
• The company’s elderly music reviewer listens to the song. Asura’s painfully off-key performance makes the speakers explode, and the reviewer is left bleeding from the ears.

Character developments and interactions

• Asura and Indra work together to avoid Kaguya’s cooking, using Madara and Hashirama’s misfortune as a distraction. Asura also shows persistence by pursuing music after being barred from the talent show.
• Kaguya is affectionate and well-meaning, but remains dangerously unaware of her cooking mistakes. She treats the hospital crisis as a learning opportunity.
• Madara and Hashirama endure the consequences of Kaguya’s food; their regenerative abilities help them survive. Their shared despair and renewed fainting underline their helplessness.
• The music reviewer, initially pleased by the family-themed song, becomes its unfortunate first victim.

Significant themes

• Absurd, escalating comedy: domestic mishaps lead to hospital emergencies, followed by a song that causes further chaos.
• Good intentions versus disastrous results: Kaguya’s love is genuine, but her cooking repeatedly puts others at risk.
• Persistence and family affection: Asura keeps seeking a new outlet after rejection, choosing to sing about his grandmother’s love.
