Chapter Summaries

Kenichi Amamiya learned that Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Otsutsuki Hamura had built a cannon powered by souls in the Pure Land to fight the Otsutsuki Clan. After inspecting its design, he decided he could improve its efficiency, and Hagoromo left the weapon in his hands to handle.

• Kenichi Amamiya offered to improve the weapon or repurpose its energy, and Hagoromo Otsutsuki told him to handle it.

Kenichi Amamiya studied a cannon made from an unknown, remarkably strong mineral from the Pure Land and asked the Sage of Six Paths to collect more. He checked Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s latest information while Kaguya Ōtsutsuki watched him in an illusion, and the chapter ended with Kenichi examining a scrap of the cannon’s material that she could not identify.

• Kenichi Amamiya tested the Pure Land cannon and found that it weighed only one kilogram, resisted deformation, and showed no damage after tens of millions of fatigue tests.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki tried to secure a promotion by finding money for Her Excellency’s birthday, targeting the nobles and wealthy merchants instead of squeezing more taxes from ordinary people. After learning that Madam Anna’s Merchant Guild needed land for a shopping complex, he entered the inner city and was invited to tea by her knights, while Kenichi Amamiya watched him, aware that he was inside an illusion.

• After cultivating, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki looked at her hand and realized her feelings for Kenichi Amamiya had become even more fervent.

Kenichi Amamiya investigated the strange energy in Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and discovered how to transform energy from beneath Mount Myōboku into a similar form. After a year of relative peace, Kaguya had grown much stronger, while Kenichi planned to extract the remaining secrets from Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

Kenichi Amamiya discovered that his energy-compression experiment had produced a purplish-black liquid filled with bacteria and strange, adaptable bacteriophage-like viruses. After isolating samples for study, he suspected that droplets from Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s fruit wine had contaminated the Energy Liquid, though the cause remained unconfirmed.

Kenichi investigated the nature of time while monitoring Isshiki’s reaction to Cthulhu’s illusion and learning of Amado’s more lethal bacteriophage. By observing cesium atoms, Kenichi glimpsed a strange energy flow that might be time, though he remained uncertain and planned to study it further.

• Kenichi confirmed that bacteriophages affected Isshiki, though slowly, while he continued pondering how to study time.
• Amado told Kenichi that hunger-resistance cultivation had produced a bacteriophage that killed an infected ninja within an hour and resisted Medical Ninjutsu.

Kenichi evaluated Deidara’s Chakra-enhanced explosive and gave him limited advice, while considering whether he could compress Nuclear Energy inside his own altered body. After returning to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s estate, Kenichi told her about another Kaguya from his original world and began considering experiments to turn other versions of Kaguya into the Fruit of God Tree.

• At a Hidden Leaf Village barbecue restaurant, Deidara showed Kenichi an explosive he had developed, and Kenichi explained that it still depended on packed Chakra and had not improved its power.

• Kaguya Ōtsutsuki rested at her manor and looked proudly at a dwarf she had created from earth and stone.

Kenichi Amamiya tested the intelligent dwarf Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had created and named him Hiroshi Ōtsutsuki. Kenichi left a Shadow Clone to teach Hiroshi, beginning with Chakra Refinement Technique, though he was unsure whether the creature could produce Chakra.

• Kaguya Ōtsutsuki showed Kenichi Amamiya the dwarf she had created, and he tested its intelligence and strength.
• Kenichi Amamiya learned that the dwarf could lift up to 1.3 tons, ate ordinary food, and spoke a language Kaguya had taught it.
