Chapter Summaries

Kumogakure activated a Six Paths Tool, the Golden Circlet, which flew onto Uchiha Makoto and subjected him to unbearable pain. While A and Killer B attacked Pakura and five elite ninjas overwhelmed Tufeng, Makoto hovered on the brink of death as the circlet continued tightening.

• A ordered the Kumogakure forces to move, and a sinister-looking jonin activated the Golden Circlet by sacrificing his life force.
• The Golden Circlet flew onto Uchiha Makoto's head and inflicted agonizing physical and spiritual pain.
• A and Killer B attacked Pakura while five Kumogakure elites surrounded Tufeng.
• Pakura struggled against A and Killer B as Tufeng lost two hearts to the elites' attacks.
• The Golden Circlet continued tightening around Makoto's skull as he hovered near death.

Uchiha Makoto survived the Golden Circlet’s crushing power when the Yin-Yang: Dual Extremes Seal released its chakra, and the ordeal awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan. A and Killer B ordered the Kumogakure ninja to retreat, leaving Makoto and Pakura alive on the battlefield.

• The Yin-Yang: Dual Extremes Seal released yin and yang chakra that resisted the Golden Circlet and repaired Uchiha Makoto’s injuries.
• A Kumogakure jonin attacked the helpless Makoto, but Pakura could not reach him because A struck her shoulder.
• Under the Golden Circlet’s pressure, Makoto awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, and its power shattered the circlet.
• Makoto dodged the jonin’s shuriken as the seal’s yang chakra continued healing him.
• A ordered Killer B and the Kumogakure ninja to retreat, and they fled without recovering their dead.

After Kumogakure withdrew, Uchiha Makoto awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, Wadatsumi, and discovered its fate- and causality-based abilities. He accepted that his new eyes were not the Genjutsu powers he wanted and began considering how to use collected Kekkei Genkai samples to build a replacement for Tufeng.

• Pakura confirmed Kumogakure had withdrawn and guarded the injured Uchiha Makoto beside Tufeng's lifeless corpse.
• Uchiha Makoto examined his reflection and saw that his Four-Tomoe Sharingan had become Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Uchiha Makoto learned that Wadatsumi's left eye could recognize a target's likely actions and its right eye could disrupt causality.
• Uchiha Makoto concluded that his Mangekyō reflected his desire to escape misfortune, then reasoned that its abilities could aid combat and planning.
• Uchiha Makoto sent Pakura to recover Tufeng's remains and considered combining collected Kekkei Genkai samples into a new Number Two.

After returning to the Konoha camp, Uchiha Makoto covered up the deaths of his squad and concealed his Mangekyō Sharingan by claiming he had awakened three tomoe. His reputation and standing in the Uchiha Clan rose, while he remained wary of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Madara Uchiha.

• Uchiha Makoto returned to camp with Pakura disguised as the sole surviving teammate, Uchiha Yeko, and reported that an elite Kumogakure squad had killed the rest of his unit.
• Orochimaru and Mitokado Homura accepted the account, and Makoto told them that life-or-death pressure had awakened his Sharingan.
• Makoto displayed three tomoe, hiding his Mangekyō Sharingan, and Mitokado Homura concluded that Kumogakure's report of special eyes had been mistaken or exaggerated.
• Kumogakure's praise for Makoto spread through Konoha, and the Uchiha, including Fugaku, celebrated his supposed early awakening of three tomoe.
• Makoto judged that Danzo's death had reduced the danger within Konoha, but stayed cautious of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Madara Uchiha.

After months of fighting in the Land of Hot Water, Uchiha Makoto returned to Konoha with his collection of shinobi samples and planned to expand his Secret Base laboratory. The Uchiha forces suffered heavy losses, and Makoto expected the clan to face more dangerous battles ahead.

• Uchiha Makoto and Pakura joined new squads, then spent several months hunting Kumogakure shinobi during the quieter phase of the war.
• Uchiha Makoto collected Sharingan, Byakugan, Transparent Release samples, and Storm Release samples from fallen shinobi and captured Jonin.
• Konoha High Command ordered frontline troops to rotate home as fighting in the Land of Hot Water subsided and peace talks became possible.
• Uchiha Makoto returned to Konoha with the Uchiha units, which had lost twenty-four of their sixty elite shinobi.
• Uchiha Makoto reflected that the Uchiha would face more losses and looked forward to upgrading his Secret Base and studying his collected samples.

Uchiha Makoto returned to his Secret Base and surveyed the living captives, preserved corpses, stolen Byakugan, and collected Jonin hearts from the war. He began planning an advanced Earth Grudge Fear vessel that could combine multiple kekkei genkai, using the captured Kumogakure kunoichi as a potential base.

• Uchiha Makoto returned to his underground Secret Base after saying goodbye to his clansmen.
• Uchiha Makoto inspected four unconscious Kumogakure shinobi held in nutrient tanks, including Toroi and a blond kunoichi he considered a promising vessel.
• Uchiha Makoto reviewed the preserved Uchiha corpses, stolen Byakugan, and other Kekkei Genkai specimens in cold storage.
• Uchiha Makoto surveyed more than twenty preserved Jonin hearts and considered using them to create a versatile Earth Grudge Fear shinobi.
• Uchiha Makoto imagined fusing several kekkei genkai into a durable, controllable modified shinobi, with the captured kunoichi as a possible base vessel.

Uchiha Makoto planned research into kekkei genkai and began experimenting with transplanting kekkei genkai hearts. He successfully gave a Kumogakure Jonin a Storm Release ability, but a second heart caused fatal rejection.

• Uchiha Makoto organized his research goals, including studying kekkei genkai, combining the Earth Grudge Fear Secret Technique with asura cells, and developing artificial weapons.
• Uchiha Makoto concluded that nature-fusion kekkei genkai might be transplanted or simulated, while ocular kekkei genkai were too specialized to transplant.
• Uchiha Makoto made mass-producing Mangekyō Sharingan and combining Byakugan to create the Tenseigan his first priority, and planned a multifunctional Earth Grudge Fear test subject as his second.
• Uchiha Makoto upgraded his laboratory and used the Lie-Into-Reality system to obtain research knowledge and tools for transplantation.
• Uchiha Makoto transplanted a Storm Release heart into a Kumogakure male Jonin, who survived and fired a weak Storm Release laser.
• Uchiha Makoto attempted to give the Jonin a second kekkei genkai heart, but the resulting chakra conflict killed the test subject.

Uchiha Makoto pursued new bloodline-fusion research and improved his Mangekyō abilities with a repair agent, while Iwagakure declared war on Konoha. He remained focused on his laboratory as Uchiha Yashiro stalled Konoha’s order to send Uchiha troops to the front.

• Uchiha Makoto decided to investigate fusing two bloodlines at the cellular level after simple transplantation failed.
• Uchiha Makoto used his research and system enhancements to develop his Mangekyō Sharingan and create a Hashirama Cells Activity Repair Agent for eye damage.
• Uchiha Makoto learned that Iwagakure had declared war on Konoha, adding another front to the village’s conflicts.
• Uchiha Makoto expected Uchiha Yashiro to keep him away from the front, and Yashiro stalled the Hokage Building’s order to send Uchiha reinforcements to the Land of Grass.
• Uchiha Makoto chose not to warn the clan about future dangers and returned to his underground laboratory, where he anticipated new experimental materials.

Uchiha Makoto followed news of the war from his underground base while secretly strengthening the Uchiha Clan with modified fighters and experimental weapons. As Shisui and Makoto’s other creations helped limit clan losses, Makoto equipped Nako, Shun, and Entetsu with new tools capable of powerful compound ninjutsu.

• Uchiha Makoto learned that Obito had vanished near Kannabi Bridge and given Kakashi his Sharingan, while suspecting an old relic had taken Obito.
• Makoto heard that Shisui had awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan and become famous for his Body Flicker Technique and genjutsu.
• Makoto sent Number Two, Tufeng, and Number Three, Yako, to the war fronts, where their enhanced abilities helped the Uchiha Clan achieve strong results against Kirigakure and Iwagakure while keeping casualties down.
• Makoto forcibly awakened Three-Tomoe Sharingan in Nako, Shun, and Entetsu, then equipped them with External Earth Grudge Fear Puppet Ninja Tools.
• Nako, Shun, and Entetsu used their Sharingan and tools’ chakra support to perform advanced compound ninjutsu, including Earth Grudge Fear: Final Shot.

Uchiha Makoto’s hidden forces grew stronger as he collected kekkei genkai and completed A Mu’s transformation. On October 10, he watched from concealment as Kushina went into labor, while Obito arrived near the barrier and the Nine-Tails’ birth approached.

• Nako and her two teammates used advanced equipment to unleash devastating Chakra Cannon blasts, joining Shisui and two other modified Uchiha as the clan’s spearhead in the war.
• Uchiha Makoto collected kekkei genkai samples from Kirigakure and Iwagakure, while A Mu completed her initial fusion of Transparent Release and Storm Release and reached Kage Level.
• In Konoha Year 48, Uchiha Makoto used Moyu to watch the barrier around Kushina’s secluded delivery site and identify Obito through his Kamui distortions.
• As Kushina’s labor began on October 10, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Anbu guarded the site while Minato stayed by her side.
• Uchiha Makoto chose not to warn Minato or Konoha as the Nine-Tails’ chakra stirred inside Kushina.

Obito abducted newborn Naruto, released the Nine-Tails, and attacked Konoha while Minato fought to protect his family and village. Uchiha Makoto watched through Moyu’s eyes as Minato and Kushina died sealing the beast, then withdrew after dawn to review what he had recorded.

• Obito attacked Naruto at birth, but Minato intercepted him and fought him with Flying Thunder God and Rasengan.
• Obito used his intangibility to abduct Naruto, then controlled Kushina and released the Nine-Tails upon Konoha.
• Minato raced through the village saving people while the Uchiha clan was kept away from the central battlefield.
• Minato moved his family and the Nine-Tails to the Valley of the End, recognized Obito, and chose to use the Reaper Death Seal.
• Minato and Kushina left Naruto their final words before Minato sealed the Nine-Tails and died; Obito escaped, and Makoto finished recording the battle after dawn.

After Minato’s death, Uchiha Makoto decided that Konoha’s resulting instability would benefit his plans and resolved to keep Naruto under his influence. More than half a year later, he watched Shisui train Uchiha Itachi and found the young prodigy difficult to deceive.

• Uchiha Makoto concluded that Minato’s death created more opportunities than saving him and planned to exploit the turmoil while keeping Naruto on his intended path.
• Over the next six months, Makoto focused on research and avoided approaching the infant Naruto.
• Uchiha Itachi graduated from the Ninja Academy at six, while Uchiha Fugaku became head of the Uchiha Clan.
• Makoto tested lies on Itachi, but the boy’s trust assessments stayed below the threshold Makoto wanted.
• Makoto arrived at a training ground and watched Shisui spar with Itachi, who greeted him with a faintly scrutinizing look.

Uchiha Makoto revealed his Mangekyō Sharingan to Shisui and Itachi, then used the discovery to begin sharing his knowledge of the eyes. Shisui and Itachi left the exchange newly impressed, as Makoto explained Mangekyō abilities and Susanoo to Shisui.

• Itachi wondered why Shisui admired Makoto, whose recent battlefield record seemed unremarkable to him.
• Makoto asked Shisui if he had awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, startling Shisui because he had kept it secret.
• Makoto revealed his own Mangekyō Sharingan, Wadatsumi, and Shisui celebrated that they both possessed the legendary eyes.
• Itachi was shocked to learn Makoto had a Mangekyō Sharingan and reconsidered his view of Makoto's strength.
• Makoto and Shisui compared their Mangekyō experiences, and Makoto explained ocular control, potential abilities, risks, Susanoo, and advanced chakra techniques.

Uchiha Makoto won Uchiha Itachi’s trust by presenting research into artificially awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, gaining new knowledge from the manifestation system. After learning that Orochimaru had left the village, Makoto decided to deal with his former teacher before the defection could threaten his plans.

• Uchiha Makoto explained his theories about using external stimuli to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, impressing Shisui and Itachi.
• Uchiha Itachi’s trust in Makoto reached 80%, allowing Makoto to manifest a theoretical framework and possible methods for inducing Mangekyō awakening.
• Makoto continued training with Shisui and Itachi, while quietly sharing ideas about power and clan glory with Itachi.
• Uchiha Nako informed Makoto of a personal matter, and he told Shisui and Itachi he would be away from training for a few days.
• Makoto learned that Orochimaru had left the village and resolved to eliminate the threat his former teacher posed to his future plans.

Uchiha Makoto led his three Kage-level creations out of Konoha to confront his former teacher, Orochimaru, in the Land of Grass. He asked Orochimaru to serve as a test for his creations, and Tufeng began attacking with Dragon Crystal Sand.

• Uchiha Makoto assembled Tufeng, Yeko, and A Mu, his three powerful modified ninjas.
• Uchiha Makoto and the three creations slipped out of Konoha and traveled to the Land of Grass.
• Orochimaru confronted Uchiha Makoto, who declared that his teacher had to die to prevent trouble for him.
• Uchiha Makoto asked Orochimaru to act as a whetstone for his creations and sent Tufeng to face him.
• Tufeng unleashed Dragon Crystal Sand, forming a sand domain around himself.

Uchiha Tufeng fought Orochimaru and revealed the lethal power of his dragon crystal sand. After Tufeng emerged unharmed from Manda, Orochimaru realized he had encountered an Uchiha with Magnet Release, while Uchiha Makoto watched with satisfaction.

• Orochimaru summoned Manda to attack Tufeng, and Manda lunged to swallow him.
• Tufeng entered Manda's mouth inside a sphere of dragon crystal sand and cut Manda apart from within.
• Manda's injuries forced him to release the summoning contract and return to Ryūchi Cave.
• Tufeng emerged unharmed as his golden sand sphere opened around him.
• Orochimaru recognized the sand manipulation as Magnet Release and questioned how an Uchiha could possess Sunagakure's Kekkei Genkai.
• Uchiha Makoto praised the dragon crystal sand's ability to cut through anything.

Uchiha Makoto sent A Mu to fight Orochimaru after Tufeng's brief test, while Tufeng spread dragon crystal sand to seal off the battlefield and prevent Orochimaru from escaping. A Mu revealed several different kekkei genkai in a rapid assault, wounding Orochimaru and leaving him horrified and fascinated.

• Orochimaru drew the Kusanagi Sword and prepared to attack Tufeng, but Uchiha Makoto called Tufeng back and chose A Mu to take his place.
• Tufeng spread dragon crystal sand across the valley floor to enclose the battlefield and block Orochimaru's escape.
• A Mu activated Transparent Release and surrounded Orochimaru with mirrors created by Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals.
• Orochimaru dodged A Mu's ice senbon, but Magnet Release made his Kusanagi Sword too heavy to wield.
• A Mu fired Storm Release: Laser Circus at Orochimaru, grazing his shoulder and flank as he dropped the Kusanagi Sword.
• Orochimaru recognized that A Mu had used four different kekkei genkai and reacted with horror and fervor.

A Mu revealed Shikotsumyaku as her fifth kekkei genkai and overwhelmed Orochimaru with coordinated attacks, proving her strength against a Kage-level opponent. Uchiha Makoto escalated the test by sending Yako and Tufeng into the fight, leaving Orochimaru trapped under a three-on-one assault.

• Orochimaru charged A Mu at close range, but she pierced his chest with a Shikotsumyaku bone spear.
• A Mu unleashed bone spikes and combined all five kekkei genkai to wound and suppress Orochimaru.
• Uchiha Makoto judged A Mu's combat performance successful and recognized Orochimaru's resilience.
• Yako joined the battle, while Tufeng used dragon crystal sand to trap Orochimaru and drain his chakra.
• Yako fired Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder at Orochimaru as A Mu attacked from the side.

A Mu, Yako, and Tufeng cornered Orochimaru in the valley and killed the body he was using after he tried several transformations and escape techniques. Uchiha Makoto suspected Orochimaru had left ways to revive himself and decided he might bring him back someday if he needed an assistant or research subject.

• Yako's Scorch Release Flame Flow burned Orochimaru, but he shed his charred skin and used shadow clones to escape the trio's attacks.
• A Mu unleashed Dance of the Seedling Fern, filling the valley with bone spikes and detecting Orochimaru disguised as a small white snake.
• Orochimaru crawled out of the snake's mouth, but A Mu, Yako, and Tufeng surrounded him and struck him down with a combined assault.
• Uchiha Makoto inspected Orochimaru's shattered corpse and reasoned that Orochimaru might have left other means of resurrection.
• Uchiha Makoto decided he might revive Orochimaru later if he needed a capable assistant or research subject.

Uchiha Makoto returned to Konoha after defeating Orochimaru, while a black-robed man collected traces of Orochimaru from the battlefield. Later, Uchiha Fugaku visited Makoto with Itachi and revealed that the Uchiha would give the Hokage core authority over the Military Police Force, opening the way for closer cooperation with the village.

• Uchiha Makoto left the ruined valley with his three masterpieces after defeating Orochimaru.
• A black-robed man collected Orochimaru's clothing and charred snake tissue, then vanished toward Konoha.
