Outside the laboratory, the Sage of Six Paths struggled with his feelings toward his mother, while Kenichi’s genetic research remained underway.

• Kaguya Ōtsutsuki asked Kenichi Amamiya to stay and research ways to deal with the Otsutsuki Clan, and he agreed.

• Kaguya Ōtsutsuki asked the Sage of Six Paths what he was thinking, but he could not explain his feelings.
• Kenichi Amamiya continued analyzing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's genes to investigate the changes caused by the Chakra Fruit.

He then explored the destroyed Kara base, where he found footprints despite having forbidden people from entering because of lingering nuclear radiation.

• Kaguya Ōtsutsuki told Kenichi Amamiya that she had witnessed Isshiki plant the God Tree and described her conflicted feelings about sacrificing emotion for greater power.
• Kaguya explained that she had tricked Isshiki into becoming the God Tree’s sacrifice, then said the Chakra Fruit had made the world more capable of sustaining life.

• Kenichi entered the ruins of Kara’s Secret Base to investigate Isshiki’s former hideout and saw signs that someone had entered despite his ban.
• Kenichi used a protective barrier against the lingering nuclear radiation and wondered whether something from Kara had survived the explosion.

Kenichi Amamiya searched the ruined Kara base and found a boy in a hidden tank, then encountered Ōtsutsuki Isshiki in a genjutsu that revealed Isshiki’s lost ambitions and a supposed God Tree seed. The boy became the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, leaving Kenichi disappointed and Isshiki’s claim about the seed unresolved.

• Kenichi Amamiya found a hidden laboratory beneath the Kara base and discovered a boy suspended in a nutrient tank.
• Kenichi suspected Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had grown the boy as a future vessel, so he collected a blood sample before planning to destroy him.
• Kenichi was pulled into a genjutsu where he saw Ōtsutsuki Isshiki beside a giant God Tree and witnessed a vision of God Tree fruit granting power.
• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki told Kenichi that he still had a God Tree seed, but pushed him out of the genjutsu before revealing its location.
• The boy awakened, rapidly aged and decayed, and transformed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which Kenichi recognized was not a seed.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki explained how the God Tree and Chakra Fruit worked, prompting Kenichi Amamiya to imagine genetically modifying them. Isshiki advised him about the fruit’s brief window of vulnerability and showed him the harsh world of the Ōtsutsuki Clan before Kenichi left with permission to study the boy’s body.

• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki explained that a God Tree absorbed a world’s energy and required a guardian’s sacrifice to produce a Chakra Fruit that activated an Ōtsutsuki’s genes.
• Kenichi Amamiya considered genetically modifying the God Tree to make it parasitize Ōtsutsuki, and asked how he could take a mature Chakra Fruit from Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki said Kenichi would have to seize the fruit just as it matured, before Kaguya ate it, and explained that the Time Machine could not retrieve it from the past.
• Ōtsutsuki Isshiki showed Kenichi the desolate planet where Ōtsutsuki Clan members who had not eaten a Chakra Fruit were forced to live.
• Kenichi agreed to leave with the boy’s body for research, promising to keep him alive so Isshiki’s illusion would endure.

Kenichi Amamiya confirmed that the Time Machine could not take him to the distant past and suspected Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was plotting to use his body for resurrection. Back in Konoha, he discovered a gene sequence from Otsutsuki Toneri’s experiments could rapidly alter nearby plants, and planned to use Toneri clones to improve crops and help produce more ninja.

• Kenichi Amamiya concluded that the Time Machine had restrictions and decided to focus on strengthening himself while remaining wary of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s plans.
• Kenichi reassured Mr. Sanzu that matters had gone smoothly, then discussed genetic improvements with him.
• Mr. Sanzu told Kenichi that an earlier Otsutsuki Toneri experiment had caused a laboratory flower to mutate.
• Kenichi repeated the experiment and observed nearby plants changing color, withering, or sprouting rapidly.
• Kenichi decided the gene sequence could help develop crops and support his goal of making the world full of ninja, so he ordered Shadow Clones to mass-produce unconscious Otsutsuki Toneri clones for experiments.

Kenichi Amamiya explained to Amado Sanzu that expanding the shinobi population could produce stronger shinobi and accelerate scientific progress, while he continued investigating Ōtsutsuki genes and Isshiki’s intentions. After six months, he found Ōtsutsuki Isshiki alive in a transformed underground laboratory, leaving Kenichi Amamiya wary and considering how to deal with him.

• Kenichi Amamiya told Amado Sanzu that a larger shinobi population could increase the chances of powerful shinobi emerging and speed up scientific research.
• Kenichi Amamiya continued studying Ōtsutsuki genes and waited to see what Ōtsutsuki Isshiki planned to do.

After Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s death, Kenichi Amamiya planned to repurpose Kara to advance the Shinobi World’s science and technology. Jiraiya agreed to gather its members but suspected Kenichi might be connected to a world-ending figure the Great Toad Sage had once foreseen, leaving Kenichi intent on visiting Mount Myōboku.

• Kenichi left Isshiki’s abandoned laboratory and found Amado Sanzu researching the genes of Isshiki and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki while improving Grain Seed.

• Jiraiya agreed to gather Kara’s members, while Kenichi noticed his suspicious gaze and decided to visit Mount Myōboku.

• Kenichi left Konoha aboard an airship to visit the Great Sage Lands, starting with Mount Myōboku.

• Kenichi landed before the frightened Great Toad Sage and used his analysis ability to examine it.
• Kenichi recognized that the Great Toad Sage used a trace of Time Machine energy to glimpse the future, and the Toad Sage lowered its head before him.

Kenichi Amamiya investigated the Toad Sage’s visions and discovered that a dry well contained the energy needed to power his Time Machine. Looking into it sent him into an apparent haunting, where Kaguya Ōtsutsuki revealed he had been trapped in an illusion; Kenichi resolved to find the energy’s source.

• The Toad Sage explained that his visions had shown a white-clad figure bringing disaster, which had made Jiraiya wary of Kenichi.
• The Toad Sage led Kenichi to the dry well where he saw future fragments in his sleep, and Kenichi was pulled into a vision.

• Kaguya Ōtsutsuki appeared and revealed that Kenichi was from another world, while Kenichi realized the well’s moonlight-like substance was Time Machine energy.
• Kenichi asked whether the energy had a source and decided to investigate it.

Kenichi Amamiya and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki traced a strange energy source to an underground cavern, where they discovered it formed naturally from liquid dripping off stalactites. Kaguya identified the substance as False God's Blood, leaving both of them puzzled by why it existed in this world.

• Kenichi Amamiya realized his time research had stalled and decided to investigate the energy source needed for the Time Machine.
• Kaguya Ōtsutsuki recognized the substance as energy extracted by the Otsutsuki Clan and explained that it was called False God's Blood.
• Kenichi Amamiya took Kaguya Ōtsutsuki underground and used ninjutsu to clear a passage toward the source.
• Kenichi Amamiya and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki reached a cavern and saw the strange liquid dripping from stalactites and gathering into streams.
• Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was shocked that False God's Blood could form continuously in the cavern without anyone killing a false god.

Kenichi Amamiya investigated strange energy-producing organisms and learned from Kaguya Ōtsutsuki about powerful beings called Gods, including a Thunder God she had witnessed fighting a cosmic overlord. Kaguya struggled to sever her humanity and feelings for Kenichi, leaving their relationship unresolved.

• Kenichi Amamiya discovered that the supposed stalactites were masses of single-celled organisms secreting usable energy.
