Chapter Summaries

Key plot points and events

• Kagami uses his Rinnegan to summon two colossal, foul golden spheres over the Ōtsutsuki homeworld. Their stench, pressure, and corrosive “rain” devastate the planet, destroying buildings and killing its inhabitants.
• Several white-robed figures try to hold back the first sphere. When their god finally appears and punches at the spheres, the attack triggers a massive explosion that consumes the entire planet.
• Kagami escapes into space by using gravity to propel himself away. A day later, he confirms the Ōtsutsuki homeworld has vanished.
• Elsewhere, Dave travels by spaceship with Orochiroku’s help. The ship’s radar detects the planet’s destruction and then a lone person in space; the group goes to investigate and finds Kagami.
• When asked about the Ōtsutsuki homeworld, Kagami explains that it “went bang and disappeared,” leaving the others bewildered.
• Meanwhile, Kakuzu examines alien currency and becomes increasingly inspired to create his own coins bearing his portrait, while Hashirama reacts with disgust and unease.

Character developments

• Dave is resourceful and enthusiastic about space travel, quickly setting course to find the person detected on the radar.
• Hashirama remains playful and lighthearted, though Kakuzu’s sudden laughter unsettles him.

Significant themes

• Power without control: Kagami’s devastating attack and the god’s response escalate into total planetary destruction.
• Survival and unintended consequences: The apparent attempt to save the planet instead contributes to its annihilation, while Kagami survives by fleeing.
• Absurdity and dark comedy: The grotesque attack, casual discussion of planetary explosions, and Kakuzu’s coin scheme contrast sharply with the mass destruction.

• Back in Konoha, Orochimaru finishes his paperwork and observes that the village has been quieter without Dave and the others.
• Jiraiya asks Orochimaru to cancel his loan through the Love Kidney Company’s backend. He explains how Kakuzu once helped him upgrade to business class, secretly putting a million ryo in his account. Jiraiya spent it within a week, and the loan app has since pursued him relentlessly.
• Jiraiya reveals that the debt has grown to 100 million ryo. Meanwhile, in space, Kakuzu prepares to send his debtors another repayment reminder.

• Orochimaru is protective of Mitsuki and worries that Jiraiya’s debt could eventually affect the child.

Significant themes

• Nearby, Obito tries to impress Rin. When a passing muscular man knocks Rin down and refuses to apologize, Obito confronts him.
• Minato intervenes, recognizing the man as A, a Kumogakure shinobi, and orders Kushina to take the children and bystanders to safety.
• Minato fights A at incredible speed, marking and kicking him down. When Killer B joins the fight, Minato unveils a new technique: “Spiral Flash Super-Round Dance Howl Style: Fourth.” He blinds the brothers with flashbangs, creates five copies of himself, and attacks them with Gatling guns.

Character developments and interactions

• Ambition and support: Kushina’s faith strengthens Minato’s hopes for the future.
• Protective friendship and affection: Obito defends Rin, and Rin responds warmly to him.
• Comedy and exaggeration: Obito’s wounded pride and Minato’s wildly over-the-top weapons turn the confrontation into spectacle.

Plot points

• Minato defeats Kumogakure’s A and B after they provoke a fight, using chakra-targeting Gatling Guns in front of a large crowd.
• Fugaku arrives, confirms the pair entered Konoha with the Third Raikage, and takes charge of the aftermath. At the police station, the full camera recording establishes what happened.
• Fugaku fines Minato 2.46 million ryo for damage to shops and the street, assigning Minato most of the blame for showing off and A some responsibility for instigating the fight. Minato pays and promises to apologize to the affected shopkeepers.
• A and B are told their compensation will be negotiated as a diplomatic matter; the Third Raikage must bring the money to secure their release. Fugaku sends the footage and report to Kakuzu, whose ominous video call leaves the captives alarmed.
• The Third Raikage arrives angrily at the station after learning his son has been detained. Fugaku heads out to confront him, eager for a chance to take the spotlight himself.

Character developments and interactions

• Minato helps bystanders and decisively defeats A and B, but indulges in a public display of strength. He accepts responsibility for the resulting damage, though he privately mourns the cost.

• A and B realize they underestimated Konoha and its power, especially after seeing how precisely the station’s camera recorded their fight.

Significant themes

• Power and reputation: Konoha’s strength is reinforced through Minato’s victory, Fugaku’s authority, and the crowd’s warnings to outsiders.
• Accountability: Even a powerful shinobi must answer for collateral damage.
• Public image and rivalry: Minato’s dramatic fight and Fugaku’s jealousy make the desire for recognition a recurring comic thread.
• Diplomacy and consequences: A street fight involving Kumogakure’s heir becomes an international political matter.

Plot points and events

• The Third Raikage confronts Fugaku outside Konoha’s police station, demanding his son A be released. Fugaku refuses, saying the Raikage must obtain release papers from the Hokage or pay a fine.
• With the Hokage unavailable and no other Konoha heavyweights appearing, the Raikage probes the village’s strength and grows increasingly furious.
• The confrontation is interrupted by Kakashi and Hidan, two children involved in a bizarre “game”: Hidan has blown off his head with an explosive tag and asks Kakashi to gather his scattered body parts so he can be reassembled. Their casual talk of regenerating brains horrifies the crowd and the Raikage.
• The Raikage finally charges Fugaku. Fugaku activates his Mangekyō Sharingan and uses a genjutsu called “Impotence,” dropping the Raikage and leaving him clutching his crotch in agony.
• Fugaku ends the spectacle by carrying the defeated Raikage into the station, saying the Hokage will decide the captives’ fate.

Character developments and interactions

• Fugaku stays outwardly calm and authoritative, clearly enjoying the chance to display his strength. He defuses the Raikage’s challenge decisively, then downplays the spectacle and takes charge.
• The Third Raikage shifts from calculating and confrontational to enraged, then humiliated and defeated. The children’s casual brutality also makes him question what kind of “next generation” Konoha is raising.

• Minato watches Fugaku outshine his own earlier display, then flees with Kushina when Fugaku glances at him, wary of the Mangekyō technique.
• Fugaku’s exchange with the Raikage is formal and controlled, while his interactions with Kakashi and Hidan are more familiar and exasperated.

Significant themes

• Comedy through contrast: Formal diplomacy and a high-stakes confrontation are repeatedly undercut by absurd, grotesque antics.
• Power and spectacle: Fugaku relishes showing off, even while maintaining a composed public image.
• Authority and procedure: Fugaku insists that the Raikage follow Konoha’s rules rather than simply take his son away.

Key plot points and events

• After leaving Konoha’s police station, the Third Raikage and his sons discover they signed away a third of Kumogakure’s land for Konoha’s pig-farming plan. The Third Raikage insists they return home rather than risk further negotiations.
• He punches and destroys the police-station sign. A message from Kakuzu’s “Money Is Life” account immediately demands compensation, claiming the sign is valuable Konoha property. The Third Raikage faints, and A rushes to get him out of the village before they incur more trouble.
• Back at the Hokage’s office, Orochimaru finds himself buried in paperwork. Tsunade arrives furious about being assigned to work instead of enjoying what she considers a lucky day.
• To get Tsunade out of the office, Orochimaru gives her a mission: take the Kindergarten children on an outing. At the village gate, Tsunade agrees to lead the Seven Beasts of Burden but refuses their requests for modern transport, citing the cost.
• Hidan proposes visiting the Land of Lightning, recalling the imposing man he met the previous night. Tsunade agrees, partly because she hopes the region’s casinos will suit her, and the group sets off on foot.

Character developments and interactions

Significant themes

• Absurd bureaucracy and extortion: Konoha’s paperwork and compensation demands turn even a broken sign into a costly liability.
• Financial excess: The Raikage’s disastrous deal and Tsunade’s gambling habits mirror each other as different kinds of financial trouble.
• Comedy through power and vulnerability: Powerful shinobi are reduced to panic, exhaustion, and debt, while Tsunade’s strength makes even a children’s outing intimidating.

Key plot points and events

• The Third Raikage’s doctors discover that the genjutsu damage has left him unable to perform sexually, though they cannot tell whether it is temporary or permanent. A initially misunderstands, then jokes that his father’s condition is no great loss—prompting the Raikage to roar at him.
• At home, the Raikage tries to test the damage with his wife. His ensuing screams and a burst of lightning are followed by the destruction of many mountains around Kumogakure. The village fears an invasion, but the Raikage claims he was simply training.
• Tsunade and her group arrive in Kumogakure and are puzzled by the missing mountains and the villagers’ anxious, shuttered homes. Guy exuberantly interprets the destruction as a sign of youthful reform.
• The Raikage rushes to Tsunade, desperate for her medical help, and offers to pay. Tsunade refuses, citing the trouble he caused in Konoha.
• The young Beasts of Burden—including Hidan, who repeatedly has his body parts blasted around—create a chaotic scene. The Raikage charges Tsunade, who retreats to move the fight away from them.

Character developments

• Third Raikage: His embarrassment and desperation over his condition drive him to lash out, destroy mountains, and demand Tsunade’s help. His earlier formidable reputation is undercut by his increasingly frantic behavior.
• A: He shows little concern for his father’s sexual dysfunction and bluntly jokes about it, provoking the Raikage.
• Tsunade: She remains unwilling to help someone who caused trouble for Konoha, even when he demands it. Her exasperation with the young Beasts of Burden is growing.
• Hidan and the group: Hidan’s gleeful disregard for being dismembered turns a tense confrontation into farce; the others repeatedly try to silence or gather him.
• Guy, Kakashi, and Obito: Guy responds to the destruction with his usual enthusiasm, while Kakashi and Obito eagerly mistake the Raikage’s arrival for a chance to fight an enemy.

Significant themes and character interactions

• Farce through misunderstanding and bodily humiliation: The Raikage’s medical crisis, A’s insensitive response, and the village’s mountain damage turn a serious injury into escalating comedy.
• Power versus vulnerability: Though feared as a powerful leader, the Raikage is powerless before the effects of the genjutsu and becomes desperate for Tsunade’s expertise.
• Clashing loyalties and boundaries: Tsunade rejects the Raikage’s demand because of his past actions, while he tries to use his authority to force her compliance.
• Chaotic camaraderie: The young group’s bizarre behavior—especially Hidan’s repeated requests to be struck by lightning—keeps disrupting the confrontation and frustrates Tsunade.

Plot points and events

• While traveling with the children, Tsunade is pestered into a fight by the Third Raikage. The children join in against A, using a chaotic mix of taijutsu, puppets, guns, snakes, and—on Asuma’s part—cigarettes.
• Tsunade escalates the duel with chakra-channeling titanium knuckle dusters. Her Monster Strength: Steel Blast, combined with concentrated explosive charges, kills the Third Raikage and creates a mushroom cloud that destroys Kumogakure.
• Back in Konoha, Tsunade explains the disaster to Hokage Orochimaru, who treats it as another familiar catastrophe. He shows her the news headlines: Minato is praised for stopping a rebellion, Tsunade is sensationally dubbed the “Big Cannon,” and Fugaku and Kagami receive an embarrassing joint title.
• Enraged by the headlines and teasing, Tsunade destroys the Hokage Building. An unnamed old man further provokes her by calling her “Big Cannon.” Meanwhile, Kaguya arrives at the hospital with food, worried about someone there.

Character developments and interactions

• Tsunade shifts from irritated restraint to overwhelming force, then feels embarrassed and concerned about the consequences. Public mockery quickly brings her anger back.
• The Third Raikage stubbornly challenges Tsunade but is ultimately killed by her attack; his final words entrust Kumogakure to A.
• A and the children are caught up in the fighting. They retreat as Tsunade’s duel becomes dangerously destructive; the children’s teamwork is played for absurd, slapstick contrast.
• Orochimaru remains composed while managing the aftermath, though Tsunade’s destruction of his office leaves him exasperated.
• Asuma’s teasing, along with the sensational news coverage, aggravates Tsunade; Orochimaru tries to calm her, without success.

Significant themes

• Over-the-top power and collateral damage: personal quarrels escalate into the destruction of an entire village—and then the Hokage Building.
• Reputation and media sensationalism: the headlines turn disasters and humiliations into public spectacle, overshadowing more conventional heroism.
• Absurdity and parody: modern weapons, dramatic shinobi techniques, and bureaucratic damage control collide for comic effect.
• A legacy of chaos: Orochimaru’s readiness for another catastrophe suggests that outrageous destruction has become routine in Konoha.

• Kakuzu receives an unexpected friend request from someone using the name “Ao Star Gambling, Sexy Dealer Dealing Live.” The sender claims to be holding Hiruzen and demands ransom, attaching a compromising photo and coordinates.
• Enraged by the extortion, Kakuzu unleashes overwhelming power. Dave, Hashirama, and Madara are startled, and the group agrees to travel to the coordinates.

• Just then, Daiyue arrives to collect Obito, and Sakumo arrives to collect Kakashi. Both boys are delighted: it is a rare, meaningful moment for Kakashi, and Daiyue says he may be able to pick Obito up regularly.

• Kakashi notices his father and Daiyue sharing a knowing look. He quietly reflects that Sakumo has friends too, and resolves not to judge him for what happens at work.

Chapter Summary

Key plot points and events

• Dave establishes the lush, apparently uninhabited planet as a new Konoha outpost, naming it Konoha Star. The group sets about preparing the cliff-top site as their main base.
• Dave asks Hashirama to arrange the vegetation into a circle and decorate the bare cliff face with trees. Hashirama agrees, but asks for payment because of his debts; Kakuzu initially scolds him for bringing money into Konoha’s work, until Dave offers to pay him personally.
• To maintain contact with Konoha, Dave asks Tobirama to invent a space-travel technique. Tobirama confidently takes on the task, while Kagami and Hiruzen are assigned to organize their collected information.
• Madara is sent to scout for dangers and turns the assignment into a dramatic display of aerial acrobatics and Susanoo. Ōtsutsuki Moon, hoping for a task, is told simply to stay put and avoid trouble.
• After two or three months, Tobirama announces that he has developed a Forbidden Technique capable of crossing space. The others discover that Tobirama himself cannot use it—but he has taught the technique to Daiyue.
• Daiyue arrives by opening a spatial rift directly above the group’s communal meal, destroying it. He explains that he learned the technique in just three minutes. Tobirama proudly praises his grandson’s talent.
