Chapter Summaries

Kenichi Amamiya used Orochimaru’s dangerous Genetic Programming technique on Uchiha Shiori, who volunteered for the experiment despite its near-certain fatality. After suffering catastrophic injuries and apparently dying, Shiori began breathing again, leaving Kenichi surprised that she might have survived.

• Kenichi Amamiya reviewed Orochimaru’s Genetic Programming technique and prepared to test it on Uchiha prisoners despite its extreme risks.
• Uchiha Shiori volunteered for the experiment, explaining that she wanted a chance to change her fate despite her ordinary talent.
• Kenichi Amamiya activated the technique on Shiori, and her body began bleeding as she suffered severe pain and genetic collapse.
• Shiori coughed up lung tissue and appeared to die, so Kenichi recorded the experiment’s failure and called for cleanup.
• Kenichi heard a faint heartbeat and discovered that Shiori had begun breathing again.

Kenichi Amamiya’s genetic modification experiment left Uchiha Shiori alive, and she awakened a Two-Tomo Sharingan after recovering. Nagato then sent Kenichi to investigate two missing organization members in the Land of Rivers, though Kenichi planned to wait for his rice harvest before departing.

• Kenichi Amamiya dissected a failed test subject and concluded that emotional stimulation and genetic differences might affect Sharingan evolution.
• Uchiha Shiori woke after seven days and revealed that she had awakened a Two-Tomo Sharingan, which Kenichi recorded as evidence that Obito Uchiha’s genes had affected her.
• Kenichi brought Shiori to Orochimaru, who carefully drew her blood and began further tests.
• Nagato summoned Kenichi with the Magic Lantern Body Technique and ordered him to investigate two organization members who had disappeared in the Land of Rivers.
• Kenichi accepted the mission, checked that his Chakra Parasite research had reached 71%, and decided to wait a few days for his rice to ripen before leaving.

Kenichi Amamiya experimented on Uchiha brains and found that stimulating a small mass in the amygdala alongside the hippocampus and hypothalamus could awaken a Two-Tomoe Sharingan. He suspected the resulting Chakra might reveal an atavistic link to the Sage of Six Paths, but the experiments did not complete his research mission and left both subjects badly weakened.

• Orochimaru told Kenichi Amamiya that Koji Tadokoro’s Zero-Tails-powered flight research was inefficient and needed better coordination.
• Kenichi Amamiya applied Orochimaru’s comments to his Sharingan research and stimulated a small mass in an Uchiha ninja’s amygdala along with the hippocampus and hypothalamus.
• The male test subject survived the Hyperfrequency Phenomenon and awakened a Two-Tomoe Sharingan as Chakra flowed from his amygdala into his eyes.
• Kenichi Amamiya repeated the procedure on a female Uchiha ninja, who also awakened a Two-Tomoe Sharingan and produced an unknown kind of Chakra.
• Kenichi Amamiya suspected the unknown Chakra might be a fusion of Yin and Yang and wondered whether Sharingan evolution was an atavistic phenomenon.
• Kenichi Amamiya found that his elective mission remained incomplete and paused further testing while both weakened subjects recovered.

Kenichi Amamiya confirmed that rice Sample 23 had sustained a ten-percent yield increase, while a sturdier sample yielded twenty percent more, and arranged for further cultivation. He left Uchiha Shiori with Orochimaru before heading to the Land of Rivers, reflecting on peace and the threat posed by Black Zetsu.

• Kenichi Amamiya reviewed the rice harvest report and ordered his Shadow Clone to cultivate the higher-yielding sample and test it for further improvement.
• Kenichi Amamiya brought Uchiha Shiori to Orochimaru's laboratory and left her in his teacher's care before departing on his mission.
• Kenichi Amamiya crossed the Land of Fire and considered how the great nations' power and wars made peace difficult to achieve.
• Kenichi Amamiya pondered Nagato's motives and concluded that dealing with Black Zetsu might require direct force.

Kenichi Amamiya tracked two missing Akatsuki members to Yugakure, where he met a young Hidan and learned that Hidan’s cult had captured and sacrificed them. Hidan brought Kenichi to meet the cult’s High Priest, leaving Kenichi poised to investigate the Evil God.

• Kenichi Amamiya arrived in Yugakure and saw villagers and ninja marching for peace.
• Hidan mocked the marchers, introduced himself to Kenichi, and invited him to visit the Jashin Cult.
• Kenichi questioned Hidan about recent recruits, and Hidan admitted that his cult had captured and sacrificed two outsiders who investigated it.
• Hidan led Kenichi to a secluded residence and introduced him to the cult’s High Priest.

Kenichi Amamiya investigated Hidan’s Evil God cult, hoping to learn about its deity and the source of Hidan’s powers. He paid to meet the god, discovered the supposed divine encounter was a sham, and left with a cheap necklace and an unanswered question about Hidan’s Immortal Divine Body.

• Kenichi Amamiya listened as the High Priest described the Evil God as the source of Chakra and the Sage of Six Paths’ teacher, while Hidan defended the god’s reputation.
• Kenichi Amamiya followed the High Priest beneath the building and saw the cult’s grotesque statue of the Evil God.
• Kenichi Amamiya offered the High Priest increasing sums of money until the man claimed the god had issued an oracle and arranged a baptism.
• Kenichi Amamiya sensed a short figure hiding above the baptismal platform and blowing air at him, then received a cheap iron necklace as a church member.
• Kenichi Amamiya inspected the necklace and wondered how Hidan had obtained his Immortal Divine Body.

Kenichi Amamiya investigated how Hidan gained immortality, then confronted the Jashin Cult’s High Priest and killed him after discovering his unusual powers. He left Hidan staring at the dead High Priest and declared that God was dead.

• Kenichi Amamiya questioned Hidan about his immortality and learned that the High Priest had guided him through a painful test to receive God’s blessing.
• Kenichi Amamiya challenged Hidan’s belief in an omnipotent God with the stone paradox, then asked the High Priest about the experiment behind Hidan’s body.
• The High Priest revealed his speed, strength, and fireball abilities and attacked Kenichi Amamiya, who fought back with a Water Wall and fire dragons.
• Kenichi Amamiya overwhelmed the High Priest with fire dragons, then made a crowbar and killed the badly burned man with it.
• Hidan watched with a complicated expression as Kenichi Amamiya told him that God was dead.

Kenichi defeated Hidan, cut him into pieces, and took him back as an experimental subject while looting the Jashin Cult’s hidden fortune. He returned to the Land of Rain and presented Hidan to Nagato.

• Kenichi taunted Hidan about his faith, evaded his scythe, and struck him with lightning before he could complete his ritual.
• Kenichi cut Hidan into five pieces and decided to keep him for experiments into his immortality and the Evil God.
• Kenichi found the Jashin Cult’s hidden storeroom, defeated the believers guarding it, and took roughly six hundred million in treasure.
• Kenichi recovered the bodies of his two colleagues and carried Hidan away, studying his still-active tissues on the journey.
• Kenichi reached the Land of Rain and met Nagato, who asked what was inside the sack.

Kenichi Amamiya reported a ten percent rice-yield improvement to Nagato and secured funding for his research, though not the billion he requested. Nagato sent him to retrieve Sasori after an explosion in Amegakure, where Kenichi discovered Sasori had built a Gundam-like machine.

• Kenichi Amamiya told Nagato that a cult had killed his two colleagues, and Nagato buried their remains.
• Kenichi Amamiya presented his improved rice variety, earning half the contribution points from his previous missions and learning he needed another major mission to research the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
• An explosion shook Amegakure, and Nagato ordered Kenichi Amamiya to take Sasori away immediately.
• Kenichi Amamiya asked Nagato for one billion in research funding, but Konan gave him a scroll containing one hundred million instead.
• Kenichi Amamiya found Sasori beside a burning wreck and realized Sasori had tried to build a Gundam-like machine.

Kenichi Amamiya discussed using Zero-Tails to power a smaller flying research base with Sasori, who grew interested in the project. After bringing Hidan to his laboratory, Kenichi found his teacher away and asked Koji Tadokoro whether Zero-Tails could power a reduced-size base.

• Sasori admitted that the cause of his machine's explosion was still under investigation, and Kenichi Amamiya helped him gather the scattered parts.
• Kenichi Amamiya proposed building a smaller base that Zero-Tails could power, then expanding it as Zero-Tails grew; Sasori embraced the idea.
• Kenichi Amamiya showed Sasori Hidan, whose severed body parts remained alive, and discussed the possibility that the Shinobi World's gods were real.
• Kenichi Amamiya brought Sasori to his laboratory in the Land of Rice Fields and carried Hidan to his teacher's laboratory, where Uchiha Shiori told him Orochimaru had left on a mission.
• Kenichi Amamiya asked Koji Tadokoro whether Zero-Tails could power a smaller base, and Koji said it should be possible if the base was not too large.

Kenichi Amamiya tested how effectively Zero-Tails could power flight and discovered that a Genin could lift the conversion device far better than an ordinary person. He left the experiment underway while considering further tests and the Uchiha subjects he might acquire.

• Kenichi Amamiya ordered Koji Tadokoro to bring out Zero-Tails and the conversion devices after learning that Anker's flight had only been tested by seeing whether it could fly.
• Kenichi Amamiya assigned Uchiha Shiori to care for the dismembered Hidan, including stitching him together for meals, while Hidan cursed and resisted.
• Kenichi Amamiya considered studying the Sharingan Particle in Uchiha subjects and wondered how many people Shisui Uchiha would bring.
• Kenichi Amamiya selected an ordinary man and a captured Nara Clan ninja for flight tests after learning the laboratory held several test subjects.
• Kenichi Amamiya found that an ordinary man's stamina barely lifted the conversion device, while the Nara Clan Genin's Chakra raised it a meter and kept it stable.

Kenichi tested Zero-Tails' ability to power a flying conversion device with chakra from captured ninjas, then conceived a way to use cancer cells as a self-refining chakra source. He left clones to investigate the idea and prepared to begin researching Three Tomoe with two captive Uchiha.

• Kenichi tested Zero-Tails with a Konoha Jonin and found it could keep twenty tons of stone aloft at five hundred meters for an hour and a half before the Jonin was exhausted.
• Kenichi supplied his own chakra and discovered Zero-Tails could lift the loaded device above a thousand meters, but its extraction capacity was limited to about the equivalent of two Jonin.
• Kenichi rejected Sasori's suggestion to capture more Jonin and imagined programming cancer cells to refine chakra and feed Zero-Tails.
• Kenichi assigned clones to study the cancer-cell idea while Sasori investigated moving the laboratory.
• Kenichi approached two captive Uchiha Ninja and prepared to research Three Tomoe.

Shisui Uchiha saw the Uchiha Clan’s growing division and discussed his secret plan to preserve the clan with Fugaku Uchiha. Fugaku accepted that the village-clan conflict could end in bloodshed and told Shisui to take Itachi, Sasuke, and Mikoto with him when the time came.

• Shisui Uchiha observed the Eagle Faction and Dove Faction argue during a clan meeting while Itachi Uchiha brought Sasuke Uchiha to invite him to dinner.
• Shisui Uchiha reflected on Konoha’s suspicion of the Uchiha Clan and followed Itachi to meet Fugaku Uchiha privately.
• Fugaku Uchiha questioned Shisui about his secret contacts, and Shisui refused to reveal who had pointed him toward a way out.
• Shisui Uchiha warned Fugaku Uchiha that the clan’s situation could lead to bloodshed and said preserving some of its members might be the only way to survive.
• Fugaku Uchiha told Shisui Uchiha to take Itachi, Sasuke, and Mikoto with him when the time came, then left for the clan meeting.

Kenichi studied Sharingan Particles and concluded that genetics might determine which Uchiha could evolve their eyes, then planned to investigate the relevant genes. He encountered another explosion from Sasori’s research before meeting his returning teacher, Orochimaru, who agreed to reinforce the soundproofing barrier.

• Kenichi found that ordinary people lacked Sharingan Particles and that intense emotional and Yin Release Chakra stimulation failed to change the particle in a Two Tomoe Uchiha’s brain.
• Kenichi detected a larger Sharingan Particle in his own brain and suspected that genetics determined an Uchiha’s potential to awaken stronger Sharingan.
• Kenichi ended the experiments and planned to identify Uchiha genes, intending to study Shisui’s blood and brain when Shisui arrived in a month.
• Kenichi heard another explosion from Sasori’s laboratory, where Sasori was testing how to convert Nine-Tails Chakra into usable energy.
• Kenichi met his returning teacher, Orochimaru, explained that Sasori was funding the Sky Laboratory, and heard her agree to reinforce the Soundproofing Barrier.

Kenichi Amamiya compared Uchiha genes with Orochimaru, who revealed that fragments of Yuki’s soul had merged with her own after Living Corpse Reincarnation. As Kenichi proposed using radio waves and relay stations for long-distance communication, Orochimaru considered the idea.

• Orochimaru told Kenichi Amamiya that Anko was on a bounty mission in the Land of Earth and asked him to look after her if he could.
• Kenichi discovered that Orochimaru had already compared half of the Uchiha gene data he was analyzing.
• Orochimaru recalled that fragments of Yuki’s soul had remained in her body and merged with her soul as it healed, subtly changing her behavior.
• Orochimaru admitted to herself that teasing Kenichi had pleased her and decided she needed to consider a solution to the changes in her soul.
• Kenichi suggested researching radio waves and relay stations to maintain contact over long distances, and Orochimaru considered whether it could work.

Kenichi Amamiya theorized that Tsunade’s unbroken gambling losses were caused by a supernatural rule and traveled to the Land of Waves to test it. He found Tsunade gambling, where the dealer appeared to be sweating despite having control of the dice.

• Kenichi Amamiya speculated that Tsunade could only win a bet when someone close to her died, and decided to test the theory with a wager about fusing Chakra and explosives.
• Kenichi Amamiya learned from Orochimaru that Tsunade had been seen at a casino in Hot Spring Town, Land of Water, and set out by hot air balloon.
• Sasori waved at Kenichi Amamiya as his enormous puppet exploded, sending Kenichi flying before he regained control of the balloon.
• Kenichi Amamiya reached the Land of Waves, landed safely, and found Tsunade at a casino.
• Kenichi Amamiya watched Tsunade play dice and noticed that the dealer was sweating while manipulating the die.

Kenichi Amamiya tested Tsunade’s bizarre luck at a casino and found that she could not win even when he manipulated the dice in her favor. He then experimented with a Thermobaric Explosive alongside her, successfully merging it with Fire Release Chakra, and began wondering whether Tsunade’s luck could alter causality.

• Kenichi Amamiya took over the casino dice game and rolled more than a hundred times without producing the six Tsunade kept betting on.
• Kenichi Amamiya used Chakra to force a die onto six, but Tsunade noticed his cheating and quit the game.
• Kenichi Amamiya followed the sulking Tsunade and asked her to help test an idea involving explosives.
• Kenichi Amamiya merged Fire Release Chakra into a Thermobaric Explosive without triggering an explosion while Tsunade lost another bet.
• Kenichi Amamiya realized the explosive’s properties had changed and considered the implications of Tsunade’s impossible luck.

Kenichi Amamiya confirmed that his experiment had changed the explosive and left Tsunade after discussing Sage Mode and the Fourth Hokage. He headed to Konoha to meet Shisui about transporting Uchiha Clan Members, but found the village's defenses unexpectedly formidable and wondered why security had increased.

• Kenichi Amamiya noticed that Chakra had made the explosive's particles denser, confirming that his experiment had succeeded.
• Tsunade asked whether Kenichi Amamiya had mastered Sage Mode, then lamented the Fourth Hokage's death as he prepared to leave.
• Tsunade and Shizune suspected that Kenichi Amamiya had come mainly to gamble with Tsunade, and Tsunade vowed to teach him a lesson.
• Kenichi Amamiya considered building an airship to transport the Uchiha Clan Members and studying their genes to investigate the Sharingan and Ōtsutsuki Bloodline.
• Kenichi Amamiya arrived at Konoha, found its Defense Barrier and guards unusually formidable, and decided to learn why security had increased before seeking Shisui.

Kenichi Amamiya learned that the Fourth Raikage had come to Konoha and used the heightened security around the main gate to slip out of the village. At the Valley of the End, Shisui reported that 172 clan members were willing to leave Konoha with him.

• Kenichi Amamiya learned that Kumogakure's delegation was arriving and suspected the Fourth Raikage might be visiting Konoha.
• Kenichi Amamiya watched Konoha's leaders and Fugaku Uchiha gather to receive the delegation, then left the crowded main road and ate ramen.
• Kenichi Amamiya spotted Shisui with Itachi, signaled him to meet at their usual place, and left Konoha disguised as a farmer.
• Kenichi Amamiya met Shisui at the Valley of the End, where Shisui said Danzo had assigned him to monitor the clan.
• Shisui told Kenichi Amamiya that 172 members of the clan were willing to leave Konoha, and Kenichi Amamiya said that was enough.

Kenichi Amamiya revealed his identity to Shisui and secured the Uchiha’s continued cooperation, while planning how to evacuate all 172 people. Back at the Land of Rice Fields, he found Sasori’s explosive experiments had produced a tiny, moving Nine-Tails figurine.

• Shisui challenged Kenichi Amamiya about his identity, and Kenichi revealed his true face after Shisui said their cooperation depended on honesty.
• Kenichi admitted he had experimented on the Uchiha taken earlier but said he did not intend to put Shisui’s group on an operating table; Shisui agreed to continue cooperating.
• Kenichi planned to transport the 172 Uchiha by airship and hurried back to the Land of Rice Fields to prepare.
• Kenichi returned to find Sasori had blasted the ground into a crater while working on his project.
• Sasori showed Kenichi a tiny Nine-Tails figurine that moved stiffly across the ground.
