Chapter Summaries

Plot points and events

• Kakuzu tells Dave that his grandson Obito borrowed from a loan shark. Dave checks Kakuzu’s app and discovers Obito has taken a 1-billion-tael loan at 10% interest per second.
• Dave collapses from the shock and is taken to the hospital. Kakuzu enjoys the role reversal, then eagerly asks the doctor to charge Dave heavily for treatment. The doctor instead deducts the cost from Dave’s hospital account.
• In a luxurious hospital room, Kakuzu says Obito’s debt has already grown to 1.5 billion. Dave promises to pay it, but orders Kakuzu to ban loans to minors and blacklist Obito from similar apps.
• Kakuzu objects, citing his authority at the company, but Dave overrules him as boss. The two part angrily.
• Kakuzu visits Dave’s house and lies to Tsukimi, claiming Dave needs 3 billion for a company project. She transfers the money, and Kakuzu leaves quickly.
• Tsukimi visits Dave in hospital. When she assumes he is merely quarrelling with Obito, Dave reveals the real cause: Obito took out the enormous loan. He then decides to summon his son Daiyue to blame—or punish—him instead.

Character developments and interactions

• Dave shifts from disbelief to shock, then fury and despair. Despite his anger, he agrees to cover Obito’s debt and tries to protect him from further borrowing, but redirects his frustration toward his son.
• Kakuzu is gleeful about Dave’s misfortune and opportunistic both at the hospital and when collecting money from Tsukimi. Their clash over Obito’s blacklist exposes the tension between Kakuzu’s business interests and Dave’s authority.
• Tsukimi remains sympathetic and protective, assuming Dave is being too harsh with a child. Unaware of the loan, she is easily persuaded to transfer money.
• Obito, though absent, drives the conflict through his reckless borrowing. Dave’s reaction shows the strained, exasperated affection behind his complaints about his grandson.

Significant themes

• Family responsibility and blame: Dave intends to pay for Obito’s mistake but argues that his son is ultimately responsible for the boy’s behavior.
• Greed and exploitation: Kakuzu’s loan app charges ruinous interest, and his eagerness to profit from Dave’s hospitalization and Tsukimi’s transfer reinforces his opportunism.
• Comic reversal and exaggeration: Dave’s collapse, the extravagant hospital room, and his plan to beat his son instead of his grandson turn family conflict into farce.

Plot and events

• Daiyue receives an urgent message from his father, Dave, and arrives at the hospital. Hearing Dave shout angrily about him, he flees before the door opens.
• Dave blames Daiyue for Obito’s behavior, while Tsukimi tries to calm him and points out that Dave is Obito’s grandfather too.
• Tsukimi reveals she gave Kakuzu three billion, believing it was funding for a company project. Dave realizes Obito had borrowed only one billion through Kakuzu’s scheme, with interest bringing the debt to about 1.5 billion. Kakuzu apparently took the extra money under false pretenses.
• Dave is overwhelmed by the family’s financial trouble and Konoha’s corruption, then receives a call from his friend Hiruzen.
• Hiruzen says he was arrested after retrieving a hidden book from Dave’s house during an anti-pornography crackdown. The house has been sealed as well. Dave furiously shouts at him, then collapses; Tsukimi waits anxiously outside the operating room.

Character developments and interactions

• Dave swings between anger, despair, and brief relief. He blames Daiyue for Obito, is horrified by Kakuzu’s deception, and initially feels comforted when Hiruzen calls—only to be betrayed by the news of the arrest and house seizure.
• Tsukimi acts as Dave’s practical, caring counterbalance, soothing him and helping him rest. Her misunderstanding about Kakuzu’s supposed business funding drives the financial revelation.
• Daiyue remains wary of his father’s anger and escapes rather than face the confrontation.
• Hiruzen presents himself as a comforting friend, but his awkward confession reveals that his own conduct has caused Dave yet another crisis.

Significant themes

• Family responsibility and blame: Dave holds Daiyue responsible for Obito’s behavior, while Tsukimi reminds him that responsibility extends across generations.
• Trust and exploitation: Obito’s debt and Kakuzu’s apparent deception show how easily people can be drawn into schemes.
• Friendship as comic misfortune: Dave’s belief that “nothing beats a best friend” is immediately undercut when Hiruzen’s call brings fresh disaster.
• Cumulative stress: One problem after another leaves Dave physically overwhelmed, turning the chapter’s escalating misunderstandings into slapstick tragedy.

Plot points

• Dave suffers another dramatic medical collapse, which he blames on the many people causing trouble around him. Tsukimi comforts him and tells him that Fugaku has had the seal removed from their house.
• A televised Konoha bulletin reports that Mu and Obito escaped through a hole in the village wall. The authorities label Mu an illegal resident and suspected kidnapper, while describing Obito as a well-meaning Academy student led astray.
• Dave and Tsukimi worry about Obito, but Dave trusts that Fugaku will help and believes the Flying Thunder God marks on Obito will keep him safe. Dave then collapses again and is rushed into surgery.
• Outside Konoha, Obito asks why he and Mu had to sneak out instead of taking public transport. Mu explains that, as an undocumented resident, he cannot use normal travel options.
• Mu spins a ridiculous tale that Konoha’s most powerful figures are kept from leaving for their own protection. Obito believes him and vows to become the world’s most powerful undocumented resident.

Character developments and interactions

• Dave is affectionate with Tsukimi but remains comically hostile toward Fugaku, whom he resents for courting their granddaughter. His concern for Obito is sincere, though his reassurance quickly gives way to another collapse.
• Tsukimi patiently comforts Dave and tries to calm her fear about Obito by trusting Dave’s reasoning.
• Mu is frustrated by the restrictions imposed on him, but turns that frustration into an elaborate deception to entertain or manipulate Obito.
• Obito is excitable and naïve: he misunderstands Mu’s status and eagerly adopts the goal Mu invents for him.
• The authorities’ bulletin contrasts sharply with the truth: it casts Obito as a victim of Mu’s influence, while Mu uses the same “undocumented resident” label to recruit Obito into his absurd fantasy.

Significant themes

• Comedy through misunderstanding: Obito takes Mu’s nonsense literally, while Dave’s heart repeatedly reacts to family chaos.
• Bureaucracy and restriction: Mu’s inability to travel, use services, or maintain his legal identity drives the escape.
• Family concern and loyalty: Dave and Tsukimi worry deeply about Obito even amid the chapter’s farcical events.

Key plot points and events

• Mu teaches Obito that becoming a “credit blacklister” means repeatedly taking out loans. Obito eagerly accepts the advice and dreams of becoming the strongest blacklister.
• Obito notices Mu may be risking trouble by taking him out, but Mu brushes off the danger.
• To prove his dedication, Obito opens the Kakuzu Loans App and borrows another billion. Mu is stunned: the app normally prevents repeat loans until earlier debts are repaid, implying someone has already paid off Obito’s previous billion. Mu envies the contrast with his own enormous, compounding debt and declares Obito a natural genius at borrowing.
• Back in Konoha, Kakuzu returns home delighted after making three billion. Nan Xue guesses he has recovered a loan or received dividends.
• They discuss their children: Kimima is out collecting debts, while Konan is with Nagato and Yahiko. Kakuzu approves of Kimima’s work but resents Konan’s costly Explosive Tag research.
• A new loan notification arrives. Kakuzu claims his boss, Dave, has been hospitalized and rushes out without eating, treating the matter as vital to the company.

Character developments and interactions

• Obito is gullible, enthusiastic, and eager to live up to Mu’s supposed mentorship; he immediately acts on Mu’s advice.
• Mu plays the role of a confident mentor but is genuinely shocked by Obito’s borrowing ability and the apparent repayment of his earlier debt.
• Kakuzu is intensely motivated by money and work, though Nan Xue’s warmth briefly softens his excitement. His response to the loan alert reveals that business still takes priority over dinner.
• Nan Xue is affectionate and perceptive, easily reading Kakuzu’s moods, while also worrying about his work habits. Their exchange highlights her patience with his career obsession.
• Kakuzu’s contrasting opinions of the children reveal his values: he admires Kimima’s debt-collection work but sees Konan’s spending as a burden.

Significant themes

• Greed and debt as comedy: Borrowing, repayment, and runaway interest are treated as a competitive talent and a source of absurd humor.
• Work versus family: Kakuzu’s devotion to business repeatedly eclipses family needs, even when Nan Xue offers him a meal.
• Mentorship and misunderstanding: Obito takes Mu’s cynical advice literally, turning a joke about debt into a personal ambition.

Plot points and events

• Kakuzu visits Dave in the hospital, where Dave angrily confronts him over the three billion he has already taken. Kakuzu reveals that Dave’s grandson borrowed another billion, provoking a furious argument about who will repay it and whether Dave can have Kakuzu’s loan app removed.
• Their confrontation builds toward a fight, marked by a sudden flash and apparent explosive commotion in Konoha. Far away, Obito and Mu see the blinding light and assume Hashirama and Madara may be fighting.
• Mu and Obito arrive at Amegakure to discuss a partnership. When a guard challenges them, Mu kicks him away after the guard objects to Mu addressing Hanzo by name.
• Hanzo arrives expecting serious trouble, but Mu says he wants to rent all of Amegakure’s fishponds. Hanzo immediately welcomes the pair as honored guests, leaving the injured guard confused.

Character developments and interactions

• Dave grows increasingly furious as Kakuzu’s visit turns into news of yet another family debt. Kakuzu remains cheerfully shameless, framing the new loan as Dave’s responsibility and resisting the threat to his app.
• Tsukimi tries to smooth over the tension and leaves to get Dave dinner, giving the two men privacy.
• Obito admires Mu’s confidence and violence, imagining himself using similar force against someone he resents. Mu encourages that admiration by presenting aggression as a lesson for life in the shinobi world.
• Mu is blunt and physically dominant, but his proposed business deal instantly changes Hanzo’s attitude.
• Hanzo shifts from wary confrontation to eager hospitality once he learns Mu is a prospective customer.

Significant themes

• Debt and family obligation: Dave and Kakuzu clash over whether a grandfather should repay his grandson’s borrowing.
• Power and reputation: Mu’s status lets him brush aside Amegakure’s authority, while Hanzo’s relief reveals his lingering fear of Konoha’s troublemakers.
• Comedy through abrupt reversals: The story contrasts a near-disastrous argument and a violent border incident with mundane business negotiations and sudden hospitality.

Plot points and events

• Hanzo warmly hosts Mu and Obito in Amegakure, praising the friendship between their villages. Mu cuts through the formalities and offers to contract every fish pond in the village.
• Mu plans to profit from a shortage of seafood caused by a tsunami: he intends to ship Amegakure’s fish to places such as Sunagakure, where prices have soared. He hires the Black Market to handle transport.
• Hanzo privately laughs at the deal, believing Mu and Obito have overlooked a potential problem with the ponds. He nevertheless orders Amegakure’s shinobi to harvest and deliver the fish, confident the transaction is lawful.
• After more than a month in Amegakure, Mu sees fish filling the streets and calls Kakuzu. He insults Kakuzu’s greed while announcing he intends to repay his debt; Kakuzu takes the insults as compliments.
• Obito’s father, Daiyue, visits and urges him to return home. Obito persuades him to leave by claiming he wants to become a great shinobi, while privately revealing his plan to become an “unregistered shinobi.”

Character developments and interactions

• Mu is a bold, commercially minded schemer, convinced that good timing and market research guarantee success. He and Obito perform exaggerated displays of emotion during Hanzo’s diplomatic welcome.
• Obito is swept up in Mu’s confidence and initially plays along, but later shows a surprising moment of practical thinking by asking about storage, transport, and sales. He also manipulates his devoted father with a fabricated ambition.
• Hanzo presents a gracious public face but privately relishes what he sees as Mu and Obito’s foolishness. His secretary shares his excitement about the deal.
• Daiyue is delighted by Obito’s supposed ambition and pledges wholehearted support, unaware of Obito’s real intentions.
• Kakuzu remains focused on money: even Mu’s stream of insults pleases him once repayment is mentioned.

Significant themes

• Greed and profit: Mu, Hanzo, and Kakuzu each see the fish deal through the lens of financial gain.
• Irony and deception: Mu believes he has engineered a sure success, while Hanzo privately anticipates trouble; Obito’s heartfelt-sounding ambition is also a cover.
• Public performance versus private motives: Diplomatic warmth, heroic declarations, and familial encouragement conceal self-interest or ulterior plans.

Plot points and events

• Mu proudly shows Obito the enormous stockpile he has acquired by leasing Amegakure’s fishponds. He believes the catch will make him rich and help fund his ambition to conquer the Shinobi World.
• Amegakure’s secretary confirms that the catch fills many warehouses and says Hanzo will meet Mu’s requests. Mu sends him away and arranges to sell the haul through the Black Market.
• Obito cannot endure the stench and vomits outside. Mu mocks him, then privately decides that Obito’s weakness is good news for Iwagakure—and even supports policies that might produce more similarly inept Konoha youngsters.
• Mu’s workers begin transporting the catch. At the inn, Mu anticipates doubling his two-billion investment and fantasizes about making his rival, the Black-Faced Buckle Ghost, serve him.
• His confidence collapses when a worker calls to accuse him of poisoning them: the stock is actually salamanders, which the workers say are poisonous. The caller claims Mu is now wanted by the Black Market.
• Hanzo dismisses the ethical concern, insisting that Mu came to lease the ponds and that Amegakure can no longer afford to care about dignity.

Character developments and interactions

• Mu is ambitious, financially calculating, and convinced his fish business will secure his revenge and rise to power. His triumph turns abruptly to panic when he discovers what he has sold.
• Obito admires Mu’s grand ambition but proves unable to tolerate the fishy smell. Mu teases and challenges him; Obito briefly tries to endure it, then gives in.
• Hanzo appears willing to help Mu, while his secretary is courteous and accommodating. Later, Hanzo’s blunt response to the secretary reveals how desperate Amegakure has become.
• Mu’s cheerful dealings with his workers and confidence in the Black Market give way to a furious, bewildered exchange once the poisoning accusation arrives.

Significant themes

• Ambition and hubris: Mu’s dream of wealth and conquest rests on a disastrous misunderstanding.
• Generational rivalry: Mu turns Obito’s weakness into a reason to mock Konoha’s younger generation and hope for Iwagakure’s advantage.
• Desperation and compromised ethics: Hanzo’s “who needs dignity?” attitude suggests Amegakure’s hardship has made questionable choices seem acceptable.
• Comic misfortune: The chapter builds Mu’s confidence only to puncture it with the absurd revelation that his “fish” are poisonous salamanders.

Plot points and events

• Amegakure’s secretary worries that Mu, the Second Tsuchikage, might retaliate after being swindled in a business deal. Hanzō dismisses him as a weakling.
• Hanzō calls Kakuzu, supposedly to discuss repaying a 1,000-tael debt. When Kakuzu quotes a total of ten billion, Hanzō panics, hangs up, and blocks his number.
• Hanzō reassures his secretary that Mu is no threat, revealing that Mu is infamous online as the shinobi world’s second-biggest deadbeat. Amegakure, however, has little access to the internet or modern phones.
• With two billion supposedly available for Amegakure’s development, Hanzō gives his secretary his battered phone and teaches him how to use the payment app.
• The secretary discovers the account balance is zero, provoking Hanzō’s furious roar.
• In Konoha, Kakuzu celebrates receiving two billion, which the app’s new automatic-deduction feature has apparently taken from Hanzō.

Character developments and interactions

• Hanzō acts boastful and fearless toward Mu, but his call with Kakuzu exposes his real fear of the debt collector. He quickly resorts to blocking Kakuzu to escape repayment.
• The secretary is anxious and inexperienced with technology, treating Hanzō’s old phone as a precious object and struggling to use it.
• Kakuzu shifts from icy anger about his unpaid loan to eager politeness when Hanzō offers to pay, then secures the money through the app’s automatic deduction.
• Hanzō and his secretary’s exchanges highlight their contrasting confidence and naivety, especially around money, phones, and online information.

Significant themes

• Technology and modernity: Amegakure’s isolation and outdated devices contrast with the power of online services and digital payments.
• Debt and deception: Characters evade, track, or automatically collect debts, turning financial obligations into the chapter’s central joke.
• Irony and misplaced confidence: Hanzō believes he has outsmarted Kakuzu, but the app update quietly takes the money anyway.

Key plot points and events

• Dave rests in Konoha Hospital, happily discussing the success of his Love Kidney Company with Tsukimi as she feeds him pomelo. Their affectionate banter turns to jokes about elderly Madara and Hashirama causing a public commotion.
• Uchiha Fugaku arrives with the Military Police Force to conduct an anti-pornography raid. He explains that offenders have become increasingly brazen, even using a nursing home to trade pornography.
• The hospital director repeatedly warns Fugaku not to inspect Dave’s room, hinting that its occupant is special. Fugaku insists that no one is exempt—not even his own father-in-law—and kicks the door open.
• Fugaku finds Dave and Tsukimi inside. Dave recognizes him, and Fugaku’s confidence gives way to fear. He tries to explain, but Dave orders him to the operating room.
• Fugaku is later wheeled out unconscious, leaving the police and director impressed by how literally he followed his promise to inspect his father-in-law.

Character developments and interactions

• Dave and Tsukimi are shown as a playful, affectionate couple, comfortable teasing one another and sharing a quiet hospital-room moment.
• Fugaku presents himself as a stern, uncompromising officer who refuses special treatment, but becomes frightened when his raid unexpectedly targets his powerful father-in-law.
• The hospital director tries to protect Dave’s privacy, but Fugaku’s forceful insistence—and his suspicion of possible corruption—leaves the director unable to stop him.
• The chapter’s main comic reversal is Fugaku’s encounter with Dave: his self-righteous declaration that he would inspect even his father-in-law leads directly to his own punishment.

Significant themes

• Irony and comic consequences: Fugaku’s absolute commitment to his words backfires spectacularly.
• Authority versus personal connections: Fugaku claims the law applies to everyone, but his family relationship with Dave makes the raid personally dangerous.
• Affection and domestic humor: Dave and Tsukimi’s warmth contrasts with the chaotic, forceful raid outside their room.

Key plot points and events

• Dave laments that Obito looks nothing like him, while Obito proudly announces that he has become an unregistered shinobi after appearing on a Black Market wanted notice.
• Hokage Orochimaru reviews village surveillance and struggles to find help with his paperwork. While arranging instructors for the graduating students, he notices Minato’s absurdly long mission record and considers him a strong candidate.
• Obito and his friends graduate from the Ninja Academy. He celebrates with Rin, but Kakashi’s teasing sparks a quarrel, and Mitsuki’s insulting theory about Obito’s brain escalates it.
• At the training ground, Obito challenges Kakashi. Kakashi reveals that his father’s White Fang has been technologically upgraded into an enormous laser blade and easily outmatches Obito, who protests that the fight is unfair.
• Obito seeks help from his great-grandfather Tobirama. Tobirama promises him technology—such as missiles sealed in scrolls—while Madara offers to train him at night once his team’s instructor is assigned.
• Tobirama and Madara argue over who should teach Obito; the dispute draws in Izuna and Hashirama and turns into a brawl. Orochimaru watches the four men create chaos in the village, armed with sniper rifles and wearing nothing.

Character developments and interactions

• Kakashi remains cool and provocative, showing off both his sword skills and the upgraded White Fang.
• Rin warmly praises and supports Obito, while Asuma and Mitsuki add dry, cutting commentary.

• Orochimaru is the exasperated observer, trying to manage village administration amid escalating absurdity.

Significant themes

• The chapter contrasts traditional shinobi training with modern technology, especially through Kakashi’s laser-blade White Fang and Tobirama’s proposed missiles.
• It also plays up exaggerated family loyalty and rivalry: Obito’s relatives compete over his training, while the graduates’ teasing and challenges turn celebration into conflict.
• Much of the chapter’s comedy comes from the gap between official village life—graduations, missions, and instructor assignments—and the outrageous chaos unfolding around it.

Key plot points and events

• Obito and Kakashi discover they have been assigned to the same team and immediately start arguing. Rin tries to make them cooperate, but their feud escalates into a ridiculous standoff involving a grenade, Kakashi’s blade, and Rin’s mysteriously produced pistols.
• Orochimaru and several jonin watch the confrontation through surveillance footage. After Jonin Fukuda praises the village’s prosperity, Orochimaru assigns him ten years of border patrol duty.
• Orochimaru leaves Minato responsible for the unruly new team, then deals with Tsunade, who barges in with a battered Jiraiya. She accuses him of peeking at her while she bathed and demands compensation.

Character developments

• Obito and Kakashi are established as hostile, competitive teammates who have little interest in getting along.
• Rin takes charge and attempts to maintain order, showing firmness beneath her friendly role.
• Minato appears responsible for the team but has an unexpected delivery side job that repeatedly distracts him from his duties.
• Orochimaru is weary of the chaos surrounding his Hokage role and handles Tsunade’s antics pragmatically, paying her to make the problem go away.
• Tsunade is portrayed as bold and opportunistic, while Jiraiya is left helpless and miserable after being wrongly—or at least unfairly—beaten and dragged into her scheme.

Significant themes

• Comedy through absurdity: Shinobi weapons, surveillance, Hokage administration, and delivery work collide in exaggerated situations.
• Everyday life alongside ninja duties: Even powerful shinobi have mundane concerns, from earning money to handling team assignments.
• Authority under pressure: Orochimaru’s leadership is undermined by the constant disruptions and eccentric behavior of those around him.
• Unlikely team dynamics: The new team begins not with cooperation, but with conflict and an absent-minded, frequently disappearing teacher.

Character interactions

• Kakashi and Obito trade insults and prepare to fight, while Rin threatens them both to enforce discipline.
• Orochimaru and the jonin react to the team’s antics before he singles out Fukuda for a lengthy patrol assignment.
• Tsunade confronts Orochimaru over Jiraiya, who silently suffers under her control; Orochimaru resolves the dispute by offering compensation.
• Minato tries to lead introductions, but his delivery alerts repeatedly interrupt him, leaving Kakashi, Obito, and Rin to exchange confused looks.

Plot points and events

• Mitsuki is assigned to a team with Hidan and Might Guy. Their teacher, Uchiha Fugaku, introduces himself while preparing to marry Mikoto the next day. The eccentric trio immediately unnerves him: Guy celebrates “youth,” Hidan handles his own severed head, and Mitsuki despairs at his team.
• Fugaku tests the team’s abilities, and Hidan’s explosive self-injury leaves a lasting impression.
• Elsewhere, Black Zetsu interrupts his feud with “George” to demand a ceasefire so he can attend Fugaku’s wedding; their conflict promptly erupts again.
• Fugaku takes his students on a D-rank mission at the Love Kidney Electronics Factory: assembling screws. They encounter Kakashi and Obito doing the same work. Rin is absent, having been taken to train by Hagoromo, while Minato is delivering food.
• Fugaku leaves to prepare for his wedding, and the five youngsters join the assembly line. They learn that graduates routinely do factory work as D-rank missions—and that factory workers earn more: 1,500 taels for three hours versus 800 taels for the same period. Mitsuki breaks down at the unfairness.
• Kakuzu, meanwhile, posts more D-rank missions, reasoning that new graduates need work.

Character developments and interactions

• Mitsuki shifts from wary hope to complete resignation as he meets his teacher and teammates, then becomes outraged when he learns their mission pays less than ordinary factory work.
• Fugaku tries to remain calm for his students’ sake and upcoming wedding, but the group’s bizarre behavior repeatedly tests his patience. His introduction reveals his long-standing fear and anticipation surrounding his marriage to Mikoto.
• Guy treats every situation—even factory labor—as an opportunity to celebrate “youth,” while Hidan’s grotesque antics shock the others.
• Kakashi and Obito share the graduates’ frustration, though Kakashi works efficiently and explains why they missed earlier factory assignments: their parents were called in.
• The brief meeting with the factory worker exposes the absurd economics behind the mission system.

Significant themes

• Absurdity and parody: Shinobi missions, dramatic ninja abilities, weddings, and factory labor are presented in deliberately ridiculous ways.
• Exploitation and unfair pay: Young shinobi perform ordinary industrial work under the label of missions while earning less than factory employees.
• Duty versus personal life: Fugaku’s wedding plans compete with his responsibility as a teacher, while other characters’ relationships and priorities shape their assignments.

Plot and key events

• The night before Fugaku’s wedding, Orochimaru orders him to lead an urgent mission to the border with Sunagakure. The Konoha Military Police outpost has been attacked, and Fugaku is chosen because the police force needs someone it can trust.
• Fugaku protests that his wedding is nearly ready, but Orochimaru cannot find a suitable replacement: other candidates are unavailable or too dangerous to involve. Jiraiya sympathizes, but the mission proceeds.
• Fugaku’s wedding is postponed. The next morning, Minato and his team join him. Obito’s cheerful remarks about the wedding only deepen Fugaku’s misery, and Minato hurries the team to the border.
• At the outpost, Fugaku learns that Kumogakure has been pressuring Sunagakure to join a war against Konoha. The attackers were disguised as Sand shinobi, but their victims were primarily Uchiha, suggesting Fugaku himself may be their target.
• Enraged that Kumogakure has disrupted his wedding, Fugaku vows revenge.

Character developments and interactions

• Fugaku shifts from joyful anticipation—he had been celebrating and singing wedding songs—to grief and fury when his wedding is postponed. His personal frustration rapidly becomes a determination to retaliate against Kumogakure.
• Orochimaru reluctantly prioritizes the security crisis over Fugaku’s plans, while revealing his caution about involving powerful older-generation shinobi.

• Fugaku’s police officers provide the intelligence that redirects his anger toward Kumogakure.

Significant themes

• Duty versus personal happiness: Fugaku’s long-awaited wedding must yield to an urgent threat.
• Political deception and escalating conflict: Kumogakure appears to be manipulating Sunagakure and disguising its own shinobi to provoke or conceal attacks.
• Humor amid crisis: The chapter contrasts Fugaku’s wedding disappointment with the absurdity of his karaoke celebration and the team’s awkward attempts to comfort him.

Plot and events

• Fugaku’s anger over Kumogakure’s role in the crisis has become an obsessive refrain. He demands updates from the police and lashes out when there is no news.
• Uncle Dave has deliberately—or at least smugly—worsened Fugaku’s distress by praising his devotion to the village while boasting that he is spending time with Mikoto and enjoying himself. Minato recalls the exchange with horror.
• Meanwhile, Hashirama, Madara, and Izuna try a new team-based extraction game at the Internet Cafe. They learn its rules, choose characters, and stumble through chaotic matches involving bots, bosses, real players, revives, and valuable loot.
• After a long session, Izuna finally finds a rare red item: “Hashirama’s timber.” The group later decides to attempt the high-stakes Top-Secret Kumogakure Data Center map, despite warnings that players camp its extraction point.
• Elsewhere, a white-haired player—clearly Tobirama—queues for the same map as Tobirama Senju, intent on ambushing squads at extraction.

Character developments and interactions

• Fugaku is increasingly volatile and consumed by revenge, while Minato is anxious about how badly Uncle Dave’s teasing has affected him.
• Uncle Dave uses exaggerated praise and claims about Mikoto and himself to needle Fugaku, turning concern into provocation.
• Hashirama is enthusiastic but inexperienced, repeatedly panicking over enemies and asking his teammates for help. Madara is competitive and confident, while Izuna is the most informed about the game’s mechanics and guides the group.
• The three friends banter through their failures and successes, showing their easy camaraderie. Their teamwork becomes especially clear when they coordinate to protect Izuna’s loot and revive one another.
• Tobirama, introduced as the looming opponent, has mastered the game’s ambush tactics and is preparing to target players at extraction.

Significant themes

• Anger versus escape: Fugaku’s fixation on real-world conflict contrasts with the trio’s playful immersion in a game.
• Provocation and friendship: Uncle Dave exploits Fugaku’s pain, while Hashirama, Madara, and Izuna support one another through humor and teamwork.
• Competition and risk: The game rewards loot and extraction, but high-value runs invite ambushes—setting up a likely clash with Tobirama.

Plot and events

• Madara, Izuna, and Hashirama enter a battle-royale-style game in Kumogakure. Madara leads, Izuna tracks opponents and plans tactics, while Hashirama repeatedly gets distracted by bird’s nests and food.
• The trio defeat several teams, but Hashirama’s reckless play nearly gets them killed. In a chaotic one-versus-three, however, his random gunfire unexpectedly wipes out the attackers.
• The team waits before extracting, hoping to draw out the last squad. Hashirama’s heavy eating and looting leave Izuna furious when he discovers how much of their earnings has gone toward food.
• As they head for extraction, the unseen final player is revealed to be Tobirama, who has been browsing the forum and camping above the teleport point. He downs Hashirama with a sniper shot, then shoots Izuna as he attempts a rescue.
• Madara tries to flank Tobirama, but Tobirama blocks him with an incendiary bomb and finishes him with a water-based ultimate. The trio is wiped out; Hashirama laments his lost eight million, while Madara checks the replay and then abruptly disappears.

Character developments and interactions

• Madara stays composed and tactical, repeatedly organizing the team, though even his careful plan fails against Tobirama’s ambush.
• Izuna serves as the team’s sharp-eyed strategist, but his patience wears thin as Hashirama ignores instructions and consumes their resources.
• Hashirama is impulsive, easily distracted, and obsessed with food and bird’s nests. His chaotic behavior accidentally produces a spectacular victory, making him briefly boastful before Tobirama’s shot ends the match.
• Tobirama is introduced as the patient, calculating final opponent. He exploits high ground and the trio’s predictable rescue attempts to win.
• The brothers’ exchanges mix tactical coordination with insults, exasperation, and comic rivalry; Little Nine-Tails also reprimands them for shouting in the internet café.

Significant themes

• The chapter’s humor comes from the contrast between serious battle tactics and absurd distractions, especially Hashirama’s eating.
• Overconfidence and poor coordination undermine the trio: Hashirama’s recklessness repeatedly exposes them, and their attempted rescue gives Tobirama easy targets.
• Patience and positioning prove more effective than aggressive pursuit, as Tobirama wins by waiting in ambush rather than joining the earlier fights.
