Vol. 5Choices Under Review

Gen and his allies built reviewable safeguards while resolving disputes involving migrants, students, the Uchiha, tailed beasts, and the Lunar Surface. The volume ended with the Memorial Monument unveiled, restrictions still in force, and Gen leaving the record of choices open to everyone.

  • Gen ended his Fate Rewriter identity while retaining his abilities and memories, and the Land of Rivers Observation Zone received an autonomous White Zetsu.
  • Gen helped villages settle a shared-well dispute and create a cross-regional water plan, but a food-poisoning outbreak kept the Western Border road closed pending approval.
  • Gen secured the Western Border’s reopening and helped migrants obtain Travel Documents, while a hearing ruled that civilian work and emergency aid could not become military service without consent.
  • Konoha rescued sixteen White Cedar trainees and suspended coercive debts and compulsory missions, then suspended Iwahashi’s trial lessons after Shuichi recognized him from the Kiritani Settlement attack.
  • Shuichi’s statement and evidence linked Kuriyama to the Kiriya case, while the review found that an outside force had controlled the Nine-Tails and the Uchiha had not acted collectively.
  • The Land of Rain and the Technical Team shut down the tailed-beast interfaces and replaced four anchors, then Obito received a tightly limited Kamui permit to move two more.
  • The teams evacuated Lunar Surface workers and stabilized the rings after Kakashi aborted a dangerous Kamui passage, while Gen helped establish distributed review instead of permanent Uchiha guardianship.
  • After a warehouse fire trapped residents and students, Sasuke, Itachi, and rescue teams evacuated everyone, and the village unveiled the Memorial Monument while maintaining restrictions and accountability.

Arc 17Borders Under Review

Gen and those around him built accountable procedures for dangerous powers, contested authority, and disputes over water and migration. The stretch leaves the Western Border road closed after a food-poisoning outbreak, with its cause traced to contaminated flatbread and approval still pending to reopen passage.

  • Gen ended his Fate Rewriter identity while retaining his abilities and memories, and an autonomous White Zetsu entered a Land of Rivers Observation Zone.
  • After an attack exposed lingering control mechanisms among the White Zetsu, the administrators imposed individual restrictions, and the Uchiha adopted reforms for Stone Tablet custody and emergency orders.
  • Shisui limited the use of Kotoamatsukami, while Itachi accepted a three-day Anbu trial with safeguards and later returned after discovering an uncorrected wartime order tied to a border well.
  • Gen, Shisui, Fugaku, and Itachi helped the Land of Grass and the Land of Rivers contain violence over a shared well, uncovering concealed water agreements and damage linked to old Land of Fire works.
  • A geological survey revealed the aquifer was at risk, and Gen helped the villages adopt a temporary water plan and a cross-regional dispute procedure that preserved local review and separate records.
  • Gen and the migration assembly arranged individual registration and aid for 237 stateless people, while a hearing examined Kawasuke’s desertion and responsibility for a death.
  • The assembly corrected a grain-ledger error, restored supplies to Jino’s family, and adopted rules limiting expulsions, but seven people soon became ill and the border passage closed.
  • Gen divided the convoy into four zones as the Medical Team traced the illnesses to toxic deposits and fever-reducing powder in Green Seven flatbread, while the Western Border kept the road closed pending higher approval.

Arc 18Passes, Protection, and Accountability

Gen and the others fought for migrants’ and students’ rights to make choices without coercion, while investigations exposed dangerous systems of debt, secrecy, and forced service. The arc ended with Konoha suspending a trial teacher after a student recognized him from an attack on his settlement.

  • The Western Border raised its barrier after Gen secured witnesses and a signed recommendation, while migrants chose among resettlement, road work, and continued travel.
  • Gen helped issue individual Travel Documents, and Yayoi’s family crossed Gray Bridge after officials verified their identities and removed an overreaching captain from inspection duty.
  • Gen challenged Sōma’s conscription notice, and the hearing ruled that civilian work and emergency aid could not become military service without separate consent.
  • The convoy divided its supplies and obligations, then the children began auditing classes without an allegiance oath, and the school later found Chengren’s chakra could surge under stress.
  • After student records were leaked, Gen organized safety measures, Takase admitted posting the list, and Nao was rescued from Soichi before a hearing denied her immediate return to his care.
  • The school established student access and correction rights, and auditing students gained fair assessments and certificates that remained valid after they left Konoha.
  • Konoha investigated White Cedar after Takumi fled with an active seal, rescued sixteen trainees from a lethal quarry exercise, and suspended coercive debts and compulsory missions.
  • The Five Nations Joint Education Conference rejected a blanket ban on private instruction and adopted tiered permits and student protections, and Konoha then suspended Iwahashi’s trial lessons after Shuichi recognized him from the Kiritani Settlement attack.

Arc 19Records, Safeguards, and Anchors

Shuichi’s case reopened questions about Kuriyama and the Kiriya attack, while the village reviewed the Nine-Tails records and changed how it governed the Uchiha and monitored Shisui and Itachi. The story ended with the tailed-beast interfaces shut down and Obito receiving a tightly limited permit to use Kamui to move replacement anchors.

  • Shuichi gave a statement about the Kiriya attack, and evidence linked Kuriyama’s blade and forged permits to the old case without proving he injured Shuichi’s father.
  • Shisui’s team rescued twelve teenagers from Kuriyama’s wagons, and the neighboring territory arrested Kuriyama while retaining the evidence and investigating his crimes.
  • Iwahashi disclosed that he had carried a sealed roster pouch listing people from Kiriya, prompting further review as Shuichi submitted an impact statement and refused contact with him and Kuriyama.
  • The review team released findings that an outside force controlled the Nine-Tails and the Uchiha had not acted collectively, while Naruto applied to read safe portions of his records and Takuya Yamashiro renewed his testimony.
  • Fugaku returned the Clan Leader’s seal, and the Uchiha established shared governance as Shisui secured reduced surveillance with safeguards around Kotoamatsukami and Itachi began a limited evidence-verification trial.
  • Sasuke chose rescue-focused Academy courses and practiced rescue drills with Itachi, while Naruto, Takuya, and Uchiha representatives set limits on how their identities and testimony would appear in the public briefing.
  • Kaguya accepted a restricted projection test plan, but the nine tailed beasts each gave separate permissions or refusals and the team halted testing when monitoring anchors began to decay.
  • The Land of Rain and the Technical Team shut down the interfaces and replaced four anchors, then Obito accepted strict conditions for using Kamui to transport two more while Kakashi agreed to verify the technical effects.

Arc 20The Right to Choose

Gen and the others replaced concentrated authority with limited, reviewable responsibilities while settling the Lunar Surface crisis, personal agreements, and Shuo’s case. The Night of the Nine-Tails Memorial Monument was unveiled after a warehouse fire tested the village’s rescue procedures, and Gen left the record of choices open to everyone.

  • Obito’s second Kamui transfer exposed old Lunar Surface fissures, and Kakashi’s abort prevented the passage from widening as the teams evacuated workers and stabilized the rings.
  • Gen oversaw the repairs and temporary transition, then helped establish distributed review and rejected permanent Uchiha guardianship in favor of rotating responsibilities.
  • Shisui, Itachi, Naruto, and Nagato each negotiated limits on the use of their abilities while preserving their right to refuse, withdraw, or control their own bodies.
  • The Joint Enforcement Panel imposed restrictions and reviews on Obito, while Gen’s transition ended without an extension and the fifth Observation Window was closed.
  • The Konoha Military Police Force cleared Shuo of the genjutsu accusation but confirmed that he had altered his grade, and Shuo accepted discipline as the Training Facility changed its procedures.
  • The memorial committee recorded verified actions and left room for correction, while Gen and Sasuke discussed how people could preserve evidence and respond to mistakes.
  • A fire at the Old Warehouse trapped residents and students, but Sasuke, Itachi, and the rescue teams found and evacuated everyone before the roof collapsed.
  • The village investigated the fire, unveiled the Memorial Monument, and maintained restrictions and accountability for Nagato, Obito, the Lunar Surface, and Kaguya as Gen recorded only the actions he had personally verified.
