Chapter Summaries

Genya arranged for Danzo to be kept alive and tormented by Uchiha clansmen as punishment for his persecution of the clan. The next day, Hiruzen learned Danzo had vanished from his secret detention site and suspected the Uchiha.

• Genya stabbed Danzo and ordered three Uchiha clansmen to keep him alive, show him their Sharingan each morning, and greet him with “Evil Shimura Danzō!”
• The three Uchiha clansmen beat Danzo while carefully avoiding fatal injuries, then stopped when Genya told them to treat him and continue the next day.
• Genya told Fugaku that Danzo’s decades of slander and persecution deserved more than a quick death, and warned the Uchiha not to touch the Sharingan on Danzo’s body.
• Hiruzen read an Anbu report that Danzo had disappeared from his secret detention site without clear evidence of how the attackers entered or escaped.
• Hiruzen suspected the Uchiha had taken Danzo, but wondered what motive they could have.

After Danzo disappeared, Hiruzen called an emergency jonin meeting and granted the Uchiha ten seats to contain the fallout. Genya planned to use two outspoken clan members to pressure Hiruzen while making the Uchiha seem less likely to be behind Danzo’s disappearance.

• Hiruzen concluded that Danzo’s disappearance could undermine his promise to investigate and try him, so he called an emergency jonin meeting.
• Hiruzen ordered the Uchiha to send representatives and granted them ten seats at the meeting.
• Fugaku gathered the clan’s leaders and asked Genya how they should respond to Danzo’s disappearance.
• Genya advised the Uchiha to attend as a group and invite Uchiha Hozuki and Uchiha Arashi to voice the clan’s anger and demand answers.
• Fugaku agreed to have Hozuki and Arashi act as outspoken hardliners while the others remained comparatively calm.

Genya Uchiha and the Uchiha clan attended a Konoha jonin meeting in force, where Hiruzen Sarutobi announced that Shimura Danzō had vanished from custody. Genya signaled Yashiro and two hardline Uchiha to launch a furious public accusation, leaving the meeting in uproar.

• Ten Uchiha members, including Fugaku and Genya, arrived together at the jonin meeting, and Genya teased Fugaku for barely suppressing his smile.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi announced that Shimura Danzō had disappeared while under strict guard and described the lack of evidence.
• After Genya coughed, Yashiro and two Uchiha jonin slammed the table and loudly reacted to Danzō's disappearance.
• Yashiro and the two Uchiha accused the authorities of letting Danzō escape to conceal his secrets and demanded justice for his victims.

Genya Uchiha redirected the heated Jonin meeting after the Uchiha elders accused Konoha’s leadership of covering up Danzo’s disappearance. He ended the chapter by offering a five-hundred-million-ryo bounty for Danzo, dead or alive.

• Genya warned Fugaku that the Third Hokage looked like Fugaku during contentious Uchiha clan meetings, tempering Fugaku’s satisfaction.
• Hiruzen tried to regain control of the meeting, but Genya stood and called on the Uchiha elders to calm down and respect the occasion.
• Elder Yashiro and the other elders apologized, claiming they had mistaken Hiruzen’s position for a clan meeting with Fugaku.
• Hiruzen accepted their apology and began to discuss investigating Danzo’s disappearance and reassuring the Uchiha.
• Genya interrupted Hiruzen and announced that he and the Uchiha members supporting the action were placing a five-hundred-million-ryo bounty on Shimura Danzō, dead or alive.

Genya announced a five-hundred-million-ryo Uchiha bounty for Danzo, forcing Hiruzen Sarutobi to respond with an official three-hundred-million-ryo bounty and a special investigation team. The meeting ended with Konoha and the Uchiha jointly offering an unprecedented eight hundred million ryo for Danzo.

• Genya offered one hundred million ryo for information locating Danzo and five hundred million ryo for his corpse, with payment guaranteed by the Uchiha Clan and his family's businesses.
• Genya challenged Hiruzen Sarutobi to state Konoha's official response and demanded a thorough investigation into Danzo's crimes and Root.
• After a tense silence, Hiruzen announced a three-hundred-million-ryo government bounty for Danzo, dead or alive, and formed a special investigation team including Anbu, the Jonin Commander, and clan representatives.
• The assembled ninja reacted to the combined eight-hundred-million-ryo bounty, while Fugaku and the other Uchiha praised Genya's success.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi revealed that the masked man who controlled the Nine-Tails had claimed to be Madara Uchiha, Genya argued that the attacker was not a member of Konoha’s Uchiha Clan. Genya then demanded that Konoha’s leaders join the Uchiha in searching Danzo’s Root base for evidence.

• Genya pledged the Uchiha’s cooperation with the investigation and helped establish their new influence in Konoha.
• Hiruzen invited Genya, Fugaku, Shisui, and Itachi to his office to discuss the Night of the Nine-Tails.
• Hiruzen described the masked attacker’s Sharingan, strange jutsu, and claim that he was Madara Uchiha.
• Genya argued that Konoha would not have tolerated the Uchiha if one of their members had caused the Nine-Tails attack, and Hiruzen agreed the attacker was not among the Uchiha living in Konoha.
• Genya proposed an immediate joint search of Root’s main base for records about Danzo, the masked man, and the Nine-Tails attack.

Genya and the others searched Root’s archive for evidence against Danzo and uncovered records linking him to the Nine-Tails attack. The discovery implicated Danzo in leaking Kushina’s childbirth security details to the Masked Man, leaving Hiruzen horrified and the Uchiha’s role in the disaster under renewed scrutiny.

• Hiruzen, the Uchiha, Hiashi, and Konoha forces entered Root’s base to search its records.
• Genya directed the Uchiha to prioritize files about surveillance of their clan, the Nine-Tails attack, and Sharingan experiments while leaving other village secrets to the Anbu.
• The searchers found sealed chests containing evidence of Danzo’s Sharingan experiments and plans to infiltrate and manipulate the Uchiha.
• Shisui discovered a decrypted message dated three days before the Nine-Tails attack that revealed Kushina’s location, guards, and delivery-time barrier weakness had been sent to a channel linked to the Masked Man.
• Hiruzen reeled at the evidence, and Genya argued that the leak created a serious new charge against Danzo and undermined suspicions that the Uchiha had aided the attack.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the elders discovered Danzo’s assassination plans against the Third Hokage, and Genya connected them to possible motives behind the Night of the Nine-Tails while stressing that the Masked Man was the direct culprit. The Uchiha and Konoha began a joint investigation into the Masked Man, Danzo, and Root.

• An Anbu ninja brought Hiruzen Sarutobi sealed scrolls containing Danzo’s assassination plans against him, shocking Hiruzen, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu.
• Genya reminded Hiruzen that Lady Biwako Sarutobi had died during the Night of the Nine-Tails and speculated that Danzo might have exploited the disaster to eliminate rivals and isolate the Uchiha.
• Genya identified the Masked Man as the direct perpetrator and proposed that the Uchiha investigate clan records while Hiruzen and the Anbu searched Konoha’s intelligence and Root’s connections.
• Fugaku ordered Shisui, Itachi, and the Uchiha to return to the clan grounds and search their histories and mission records for missing or suspicious Uchiha.
• Hiruzen ordered a top-secret investigation team to pursue the Masked Man and reassess the danger posed by Danzo’s remaining Root plans.

After leaving the Root base, Genya rebuked Fugaku for pitying the Third Hokage and pushed Itachi and Shisui to outline ways to uncover the Masked Man’s identity. The group headed back to the Uchiha compound, planning to investigate their enemies and uncertain allies.

• Hyuga Hiashi confirmed that Danzo’s files recorded repeated plots to assassinate the Third Hokage, though most plans had not been carried out.
• Fugaku said he felt sorry for the Third Hokage, and Genya sharply criticized him for sympathizing with a leader who had let the Uchiha be targeted.
• Genya pointed out that Itachi might attack Fugaku without hesitation, and Itachi calmly confirmed it, frightening his father.
• Fugaku asked whether they could discover the Masked Man’s identity, and Genya assigned Itachi and Shisui to explain their investigative approach.
• Itachi proposed tracing Sharingan users, abilities, and movements, while Shisui suggested investigating Madara’s history, followers, and the possibility of a transplanted Sharingan.
• Fugaku endorsed their analysis, and Genya led the group toward the clan compound, telling them to identify who was an enemy and who was not—for now.

Fugaku ordered the Uchiha to search old clan records for suspicious cases, and the family began reviewing the files together. Genya found Obito Uchiha's record among the missing-body cases, while Chinatsu offered to ease his fatigue as the investigation continued.

• Fugaku sent the elders, Sosuke, and Chinatsu, Akari, and Akane to retrieve records about male Uchiha from the five years before the Night of the Nine-Tails.
• Genya teased Sasuke about the bruises around his eyes, and Sasuke embarrassedly denied that Fugaku had beaten him after he tried imitating Genya.
• The family ate dinner, then Fugaku, Genya, Shisui, Itachi, Sosuke, and the elders began sorting through the returned files.
• Genya found Obito Uchiha's record, marked killed in action during the Kannabi Bridge mission with his body unrecovered, and set it aside with other suspicious cases.
• Chinatsu massaged Genya's stiff shoulders and told him she wanted to help because he had shouldered so much for the clan.

Genya guided the Uchiha through a review of suspicious deaths and disappearances, narrowing their investigation into the Masked Man’s identity to seven clan members. He urged them to investigate possible survivors, especially those with profound bonds or unclear eye injuries, and the group agreed to continue the next day.

• Sasuke watched Genya receive attention from the others and wished to become someone everyone needed.
• Fugaku and the others narrowed the suspicious records to seven Uchiha men who had died or disappeared before the Night of the Nine-Tails.
• Itachi read the seven men’s records, including Obito Uchiha’s account of being crushed during the Kannabi Bridge mission.
• Genya called for deeper investigations into the men’s connections, deaths, possible survival, and any unusual records held by Danzo’s Root.
• Genya advised the group to focus on profound bonds, missing eyes, and circumstances that could have allowed someone to intervene or substitute for a victim.
• Genya thanked Chinatsu, then suggested everyone rest and continue the investigation the following day.

Genya, the Uchiha, Konoha, and the Hyuga investigated candidates for the Masked Man while Danzo’s crimes and enormous bounty rocked the village. Their evidence left Obito Uchiha as the sole remaining suspect, and Fugaku questioned whether the investigation had been biased toward him.

• Genya presented the screened files to Hiruzen and asked Konoha to investigate Obito Uchiha and Uchiha Munenori’s death.
• Hiruzen authorized a joint investigation by Konoha, the Uchiha, and the Hyuga, with any exhumation requiring clan and family consent.
• Konoha publicly designated Shimura Danzō an S-Rank Missing-nin and announced a three-hundred-million-ryō bounty, while Genya posted a private five-hundred-million-ryō bounty.
• The joint team ruled out the other six candidates and found that Obito’s body had never been recovered after the Kannabi Bridge collapse.
• The report highlighted Obito’s uncertain death, his missing body, his eye given to Kakashi, and his bonds with Kakashi and Rin as clues pointing toward him.
• Fugaku questioned whether Obito’s status as prime suspect was too hasty, while Shisui and Itachi also wondered if Genya had known something beforehand.

Genya proposed that the Uchiha Clan revoke Obito Uchiha’s membership, then used Kakashi’s guilt and memories to provoke a transformation in Obito’s transplanted Sharingan. Kakashi awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, giving the gathered leaders a possible way to test whether Obito was the Masked Man.

• Genya proposed striking Obito Uchiha’s name from the Uchiha Clan register and treating him as a traitor if he had survived and committed the crimes.
• Kakashi broke down as Genya questioned whether he had ever confirmed Obito’s death at Kannabi Bridge.
• Genya stimulated Kakashi’s left Sharingan with Yin Release chakra while Kakashi relived memories of Obito and Rin.
• Kakashi’s Three-Tomoe Sharingan transformed into a Mangekyō Sharingan, stunning everyone in the Hokage’s office.
• Genya said comparing Kakashi’s Mangekyō pattern with the Masked Man’s could establish whether Obito was the Masked Man.

Genya persuaded Hiruzen Sarutobi to publicly investigate the Masked Man as the likely cause of Danzo’s disappearance, while postponing the Uchiha’s demands for justice until after his graduation. That night, Genya opened gifts from Uchiha Nami and Ino Yamanaka, gaining perfect Lightning Release mastery and a powerful sword before Ino’s mental-power gift triggered a devastating shock that activated his Sharingan.

• Genya blamed the Masked Man for Danzo’s disappearance, and Hiruzen accepted the theory as a public explanation and an investigation lead.
• Genya told Hiruzen that the Uchiha would later seek compensation and cleared names for clansmen persecuted by Danzo.
• Hiashi assured the Uchiha that the Hyuga would cooperate with the investigation, then returned to his clan compound.
• Genya opened Uchiha Nami’s gift pack and gained perfect Lightning Release nature and shape transformation, along with the spirit-form weapon Lightning Blade: Violet Radiance.
• Genya opened Ino Yamanaka’s gift pack and received a massive increase in mental power, which overwhelmed him, activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, and made blood tears stream from his eyes.

Seven-year-old Genya underwent a violent Mangekyō Sharingan awakening that left him unconscious and his chakra and mental energy unstable. His family and the Uchiha clan kept vigil through the night, waiting to see whether he would survive the transformation.

• Sosuke and Izumi rushed to Genya's room and found him writhing in pain as his out-of-control Sharingan unleashed a powerful mental storm.
• Genya's three-tomoe Sharingan transformed into the Mangekyō Sharingan, and he collapsed unconscious as the mental energy field receded.
• Izumi examined Genya while Sosuke summoned Fugaku, Shisui, Itachi, the elders, and the clan's medical ninjas.
• A medical ninja found that Genya's chakra was raging and his mental energy had undergone a dangerous transformation his young body could not contain.
• Itachi, Shisui, and Fugaku suspected Genya was awakening the Mangekyō, but they were alarmed by the unprecedented mental storm and agreed to wait for him to wake.
• Fugaku, Sosuke, Izumi, Shisui, Itachi, Yakumi, and the other elders kept watch beside Genya until dawn approached.

After waking from the system gift package’s painful effects, Genya convinced his family that he had only suffered a nightmare and discovered his mental energy and abilities had improved. He left home despite being told to rest and went to visit Ino, waking her with a joke.

• Genya woke after passing out, hid the real cause, and claimed he had dreamed that Fugaku’s family was cut down.
• Genya checked his condition, found his chakra settled and his Sharingan stronger, and reassured his parents that he was fine.
• Genya’s parents told him to rest at home, but after breakfast he used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.
• Genya visited Ino’s home and went upstairs to find her asleep in her bedroom.
• Genya poked Ino awake and jokingly insisted that he was her mother.

Genya visited Ino and admitted he had missed her, while his gratitude for her gift deepened after it helped him awaken his Mangekyo. Ino showed him her flower garden and gave him a starlight flower, leaving them sharing a warm, playful moment.

• Ino hugged Genya in her pajamas, then blushed and threw a pillow at him when he pointed out her clothing.
• Genya told Ino he had come because he missed her, and silently thanked her for helping him awaken his Mangekyo.
• Ino changed clothes, teased Genya about his intentions, and asked whether she, Hinata, or Nami was prettiest.
• Genya praised Ino as she looked just after waking, and she led him downstairs to show him her flowers.
• Ino gave Genya a starlight flower that symbolized gratitude and companionship, and Genya ruffled her hair and called her cute.

Genya and Ino visited Naruto, cleaned his apartment, and cooked him a proper meal, giving the lonely boy a lively afternoon with friends. After they ate and relaxed together, Ino teased Genya about how much responsibility he carried for the Uchiha Clan.

• Genya gave an Uchiha officer the Starlight Flower Ino had given him and asked him to take it to his mother.
• Genya changed their plans to buy groceries and cook at Naruto's apartment, and Ino agreed to join him.
• Genya and Ino helped Naruto clean his untidy home before preparing a meal while Naruto watched TV.
• Genya and Ino served Naruto a lavish lunch, and he enthusiastically praised their cooking.
• Naruto washed the dishes, then the three relaxed together on the sofa as Ino teased Genya about handling the Uchiha Clan's affairs.

Genya spent a peaceful afternoon with Naruto and Ino, whose excitement about his exaggerated threat to flatten the Land of Fire made him promise to take them along after they grew stronger. At sunset, Naruto declared his dream of becoming Hokage, and the three friends headed to Ichiraku Ramen together.

• Naruto and Ino enthusiastically praised Genya and said they wanted to join him in flattening the Land of Fire, so he redirected them toward training and promised to take them once they were stronger.
• Genya, Ino, and Naruto relaxed together at Naruto's home and fell asleep on the couch and floor.
• After they woke, Genya took Ino and Naruto to the top of Hokage Rock to watch the sunset over Konoha.
• Naruto shouted that he would become Hokage and earn everyone's acknowledgment, while Ino teased him and Genya about their grand ambitions.
• Genya said that having a dream and giving everything for it was a good thing, then the three friends went to Ichiraku Ramen.

After a happy day out with Ino and Naruto, Genya was summoned to a tense Uchiha meeting about the Daimyo’s demands for an apology over his remarks. He proposed invading the Land of Fire, leaving Fugaku and the others scrambling to stop him.

• Genya treated Ino and Naruto to ramen, then said goodbye to them and returned to the Uchiha Clan Compound.
• Sasuke resented being left out of Genya’s outing, and Genya promised to invite him next time.
