Chapter Summaries

Amado Sanzu performed One's Own Life Reincarnation to revive Akebi Sanzu and experience the Pure Land, while Kenichi Amamiya prepared to bring him back with Impure World Reincarnation. Akebi returned to life, and Amado returned to the living world with an unexplained sense of suffocation.

• Amado Sanzu told Kenichi Amamiya he planned to revive Akebi with One's Own Life Reincarnation, die, and have Kenichi use Impure World Reincarnation to study the Pure Land.

• Amado returned through Impure World Reincarnation about a minute later and told Kenichi he felt suffocated by the harsh environment.

Kenichi Amamiya studied Amado Sanzu’s account of dying and returning through Impure World Reincarnation while monitoring Akebi Sanzu’s recovery. Akebi woke and recognized her father, leaving Amado to face the fact that he had revived her at the cost of his own life.

• Kenichi Amamiya confirmed that Akebi Sanzu’s heartbeat and brain activity had returned to normal, and Amado Sanzu broke down with relief beside her.

• Akebi Sanzu woke, and Amado Sanzu pulled the blanket around her before asking questions to confirm she was truly his daughter.
• Akebi remembered the teddy bear her father had given her, then noticed that Amado’s hands were cold and asked what was wrong.

Kenichi brought Akebi Sanzu and Uchiha Hikari back toward the Land of Snow while considering nuclear weapons and missiles as tools for unifying the Shinobi World. His teacher’s call led him to find her at sea, while Tsunade examined a strange piece of tissue in Konoha and asked Hiruzen about Naruto.

• Kenichi confirmed that Amado Sanzu had sacrificed himself to bring Akebi back, then offered to take her to the Land of Snow and help prepare to bring her father home; Akebi agreed to help.
• Kenichi took Akebi Sanzu and Uchiha Hikari aboard his airship and headed for the Land of Snow, dismissing patrol balloons as he considered developing improved crops, nuclear weapons, and missiles.
• Uchiha Hikari spotted a ship and said something had flown up from it, just as Kenichi’s mobile phone rang; he realized the call was from his teacher and descended toward the vessel.
• Kenichi saw three heads hanging from the ship, someone being dragged behind it, and his black-haired teacher waving from the bow.
• In Konoha, Tsunade studied an unusual piece of tissue she had removed, then asked Hiruzen Sarutobi whether Naruto was the current Jinchuriki; Hiruzen grew concerned and hurried out.

Kenichi Amamiya reunited with Orochimaru and brought her to the Land of Snow, where she became interested in Akebi Sanzu’s research and Uchiha Hikari’s unusual sealing. At his laboratory, Kenichi discovered that some test subjects who awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan showed unstable vital signs and accelerated aging.

• Orochimaru boarded Kenichi Amamiya’s airship after destroying a ship whose occupants had provoked her, and she read Akebi Sanzu’s Experiment Log.

• Kenichi inspected the Sharingan experiments and learned that some subjects developed unstable vital signs and signs of accelerated aging after awakening the Three Tomoe.

Kenichi Amamiya finished a demanding series of experiments and suffered the accumulated exhaustion from his Shadow Clones. After recovering, he handled preparations for uranium prospecting and wondered where Anko Mitarashi had gone.

• Kenichi Amamiya realized he did not know where Anko Mitarashi was and wondered whether Orochimaru had killed her.

Kenichi Amamiya added Indra’s genes to his body and awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan through an experiment. He discovered that its ability let him analyze, deconstruct, and recombine matter.

• Kenichi Amamiya tested his genes and found similarities to Naruto’s, then decided to add Indra’s genes from Sasuke’s blood.
• Kenichi Amamiya used Genetic Programming on himself, and a test confirmed that Indra’s genome had been added successfully.
• Kenichi Amamiya underwent the Mangekyō awakening experiment, enduring intense physical and emotional torment until it succeeded.
• Kenichi Amamiya awakened a Mangekyō pattern resembling the Umbrella Corporation logo and recognized it as a Straight Tomoe Sharingan.
• Kenichi Amamiya analyzed a glass Test Tube, deconstructed it into its materials, and recombined those materials into a Test Tube again.

Kenichi Amamiya tested the abilities of his new Mangekyō Sharingan, discovering that he could dismantle parts of a person and fuse materials with different properties. Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi discovered that Naruto Uzumaki had learned Chakra Refining from a manual written by Orochimaru.

• Kenichi Amamiya realized his left eye could parse and dismantle objects, while his right eye could reassemble them, and considered the Mangekyō’s limits and the risk of blindness.
• Kenichi Amamiya fused a Test Tube with a rubber pipette bulb, creating a new object with properties of both materials.
• Kenichi Amamiya tested his left eye on a maid, found that he could not parse her whole body, then dismantled and restored her index finger.
• Kazahana Koyuki made the maid her personal servant and injected an insect egg into her blood vessel.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi learned that Naruto Uzumaki had secretly refined Chakra and recognized the recovered Chakra Refining manual as Orochimaru’s handwriting.

Hiruzen Sarutobi inspected Naruto after Orochimaru taught him to refine Chakra, then increased the guards around him. Kenichi Amamiya failed to contact Nagato and turned to comparing wheat genes, ending when Uchiha Shiori retrieved the analysis machine he needed.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi found no damage to Naruto or the seal and later assigned stronger Anbu Jonin guards to protect him.
• Kenichi Amamiya visited Uchiha Hikari during her lesson and praised her detailed notes.
• Kenichi Amamiya blew up his monitored airship, found no sign of Black Zetsu, and failed to reach Nagato through his ring.
• Kenichi Amamiya compared Land of Snow wheat with Shinobi World wheat and began analyzing their genetic differences.
• Kenichi Amamiya asked Uchiha Shiori to retrieve the Genetic Programming Analysis Unit Three, and she pulled it out remotely.

Kenichi Amamiya struggled to develop a way to genetically program wheat for cold resistance, then shifted to the scheduled Impure World Reincarnation experiment with Amado Sanzu. The ritual appeared to malfunction before Sanzu’s face finally emerged, and Orochimaru said the delay was within the range seen in earlier experiments.

• Kenichi Amamiya compared two kinds of wheat and planned to divide their differing genes into groups to identify those responsible for cold resistance.
• Kenichi Amamiya and his Shadow Clones failed to program wheat seeds with his existing method, so he spent five days devising a new Genetic Programming Jutsu Formula.
• Kenichi Amamiya called his teacher Orochimaru and asked Kazahana Koyuki to provide a Genin as the sacrifice for Amado Sanzu’s Impure World Reincarnation.
• Kenichi Amamiya used the Genin as the sacrifice, but the body twitched and remained unchanged before gradually taking Amado Sanzu’s appearance.
• Kenichi Amamiya sealed Sanzu in a coffin, and Orochimaru reassured him that the delayed transformation had occurred in earlier experiments.

Kenichi Amamiya summoned Amado Sanzu with Impure World Reincarnation and questioned him about the Pure Land, where Amado had researched souls and discovered a powerful temptation and a slow loss of their energy. After arranging to summon him again in three months, Kenichi asked Amado for help with a plant gene-modification ninjutsu.

• Kenichi Amamiya completed the Impure World Reincarnation ritual, and Amado Sanzu emerged, explaining that souls seemed to travel through the Pure Land and could communicate without a clear sense of time.
• Amado Sanzu recounted his peaceful life in the Pure Land, then became entranced by it and began to destabilize until Kenichi Amamiya restrained him with the Soul Restraint Device.
• Amado Sanzu said he had never seen a soul leave the Pure Land, could not speak the name of the figure Kenichi Amamiya had mentioned, and found that soul energy slowly drained because of the Pure Land itself.
• Amado Sanzu reunited with Akebi Sanzu, requested three months to continue his research, and agreed to a later resurrection.
• Kenichi Amamiya showed Amado Sanzu a ninjutsu scroll and asked for help with programming plants at the genetic level.

Kenichi Amamiya tested Amado Sanzu’s Yin-Yang Release method for altering genes, then realized the man may have been controlled by the Sage of Six Paths. Kenichi and Orochimaru planned to revive Amado Sanzu quickly, but feared the Sage could take over another Impure World Reincarnation.

• Amado Sanzu proposed using Yin Release to separate a Gene Chain and Yang Release to stabilize it while inserting new genes.
• Kenichi Amamiya successfully altered a wheat seed and used his Mangekyō Sharingan to examine the substances within Amado Sanzu’s body.
• After dismissing Amado Sanzu’s Impure World Reincarnation, Orochimaru warned Kenichi that the man’s intelligence and demeanor suggested the Sage of Six Paths had controlled him.
• Kenichi Amamiya and Orochimaru decided to revive Amado Sanzu as soon as possible, and Kenichi prepared another Impure World Reincarnation with help from a Special Jonin of the Land of Snow.
• Kenichi Amamiya concluded that Impure World Reincarnation was too dangerous while the Sage of Six Paths could seize control of its summoned bodies.

Kenichi Amamiya used One's Own Life Reincarnation to bring Amado Sanzu back, while the sacrifice revealed that the parasite died with its host. Sanzu's memories confirmed that someone else, likely the Sage of Six Paths, had spoken through his earlier Impure World Reincarnation, and Kenichi later realized that Wood Release created chakra constructs rather than real plants.

• Orochimaru explained why villages avoided One's Own Life Reincarnation, and Kenichi Amamiya had a parasite-controlled Special Jonin agree to use it.
• The Special Jonin performed the jutsu to resurrect Amado Sanzu, then died after asking Kenichi not to let his daughter become a ninja; Kenichi found the parasite had died with him.
• Amado Sanzu woke and remembered only part of his earlier conversation about the Pure Land, leading Kenichi and Orochimaru to suspect the previous summoned figure had been the Sage of Six Paths.
• Orochimaru began speaking with Sanzu, while Kenichi left to work on his wheat experiments and considered the risks of investigating the Pure Land.
• Kenichi tested Wood Release and concluded that its trees were chakra creations, which explained why it could not stimulate real crops.

Kenichi Amamiya explored whether Wood Release and Chakra could help improve crop yields, then joined his teacher and Amado Sanzu in building a device to investigate the Pure Land. The chapter ended with his teacher suggesting that Kenichi use his strong control over his Subordinates to test the dangerous realm.

• Kenichi reviewed the Land of Snow’s harvest records and asked Kazahana Koyuki about past attempts to accelerate crop growth with Yang Release Chakra.
• Kenichi created ten Shadow Clones to investigate cold-resistant wheat genes and Wood Release’s potential uses.
• Kenichi found his teacher and Amado Sanzu assembling the Pure Land Detector 1.0 and learned they planned to study the Pure Land using the Spirit Transformation Technique.
• Amado Sanzu warned that the Pure Land was dangerous and that he had forgotten much of what he learned there.
• Kenichi agreed the Pure Land needed a cautious approach, and his teacher proposed sending him to test it using his Subordinates.

Kenichi Amamiya arranged for Orochimaru and Amado Sanzu to train two parasitized shinobi in the Spirit Transformation Technique while he prepared to move against Kirigakure and searched for Nagato.

Kenichi Amamiya and Nagato attacked Konoha to kill Danzo, but Danzo escaped death through Izanagi as Kenichi used a Senjutsu-enhanced Wood Release forest to trap the defenders. Kenichi and Nagato tracked Danzo down, while Tsunade and the Konoha forces struggled to escape the forest’s oxygen-draining effects.

• Tsunade attacked Kenichi while Nagato struck Danzo with Shinra Tensei, impaling him on a branch and apparently killing him.
• Kenichi tried to sever Danzo’s bandaged arm, but Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi forced him away from the corpse.

• Danzo vanished after activating Izanagi, and Kenichi recognized that he had escaped death.
• Nagato sensed Danzo nearby, and he and Kenichi searched through the forest for him.

Kenichi Amamiya and Nagato attacked Danzo at a hidden Root base, where Nagato killed him and took his Sharingan-covered arm. They escaped Konoha after clashing with its leaders, and Kenichi Amamiya left with the arm for study.

• Kenichi Amamiya exposed part of Root's underground base, and Nagato blasted his way inside to confront Danzo.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade, and Hyuga Hiashi confronted Kenichi Amamiya outside, but he told them Danzo would not escape.
• Nagato emerged carrying Danzo's corpse and the severed arm covered in Sharingan, prompting Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade to attack.
• Hyuga Hiashi attacked Kenichi Amamiya as he fought to evade the Konoha leaders, and Kenichi Amamiya released fog followed by fire to cover their retreat.
• Kenichi Amamiya and Nagato escaped, and Nagato gave him the arm, which Kenichi Amamiya wanted to study because it belonged to Shin Uchiha.

Kenichi Amamiya analyzed Nagato’s Rinnegan and glimpsed Chakra’s seven natures and Natural Energy, while Nagato left to visit Yahiko after killing Danzo. Kenichi then encountered Konoha ninja whose leader blamed him for a friend’s death, and Kenichi’s taunt escalated the confrontation.

• Kenichi asked to study Nagato’s Rinnegan, activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, and was blasted away by Nagato’s Shinra Tensei after Nagato sensed danger.
• Kenichi realized the strange currents he had seen during his analysis were the seven Chakra natures and Natural Energy, then wondered whether combining them could awaken a Rinnegan.

• Kenichi encountered a four-person Konoha squad, whose leader accused him of causing his best friend’s death.
• Kenichi said he could not remember how many people he had killed and compared the dead friend to an ant he had stepped on, angering the squad leader.

Kenichi Amamiya killed a Konoha Jonin and captured a Hyūga Branch Family shinobi to study his Byakugan and Caged Bird Seal, while considering how to exploit his resentment toward the Main Family. In Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi approved Danzo’s funeral but resisted the elders’ attempt to claim Root, and Tsunade checked on a blond-haired child under Anbu watch.
