Naruto learned that Ai Haibara had been parasitized in her left hand and agreed to investigate whether her sister could be revived, while Akako Koizumi showed him her growing haul of Parasytes. In the Ghoul world, Orochimaru and Kanou tested Hashirama cells in Ken Kaneki, whose body began a painful struggle between Ghoul cells and the transplanted cells.
Ken Kaneki survived his transformation into a human with Hashirama cells and reunited with Hideyoshi Nagachika. After Kaneki and Hide left for Anteiku, Itachi met with Orochimaru, Hyuga Shoyo, and Kanou to discuss the danger of the Parasytes, leaving their release undecided.
Ken Kaneki rescued Ryoko Fueguchi from Mado Kureo and Amon Kotaro, then stayed behind to protect her and Hinami. As the CCG investigators attacked, Kaneki fought back using his extraordinary speed and strength despite having no combat experience.
Mado Kureo and Amon Kotaro fought Ken Kaneki, whose superhuman strength left Mado badly injured before Amon knocked Kaneki unconscious. Nishiki Nishio intervened, and after Kaneki woke, he urged Amon to understand that some ghouls were good; Amon asked how he could learn about them.
Ken Kaneki returned to Anteiku and announced that he wanted to join the CCG, revealing that he had become human. He explained his transformation to the others, and he, Touka, Yoshimura Kuzen, and Hideyoshi Nagachika went to the hospital to meet Uchiha Itachi about making Touka human too.
Orochimaru tested whether ghouls could become human by modifying Touka Kirishima and Yoshimura Kuzen with Hashirama cells. Touka completed the transformation, but Yoshimura’s many kakuhou overwhelmed the pseudo-cells, so Orochimaru used genuine Hashirama cells to continue the experiment.
Yoshimura Kuzen completed his transformation, becoming younger and stronger, while Amon Kotaro awoke as a ghoul and Mado Kureo was subdued. The chapter ended as alarms revealed Enji Koma and Kaya Irimi attacking the hospital lobby to find their missing companions.
CCG Special Class Investigator Yukiori Kōki mobilized investigators after two missing SS-Rank ghouls, Enji Koma and Kaya Irimi, began destroying Kanou General Hospital to draw someone out. Touka Kirishima and Nishiki Nishio confronted them, but the fight stalled until a handsome middle-aged man approached.
Yoshimura Kuzen fought Enji Koma and Kaya Irimi at Kanou General Hospital to test the strength he had gained after becoming human. He let them escape, and Renji Yomo’s smoke bombs helped them vanish into the crowd.
Uchiha Itachi persuaded Yoshimura Kuzen to join the CCG and used his Mangekyo Sharingan to make Yukinori Shinohara accept a cover story about Yoshimura being a superhuman. Mado Kureo returned to his gentler former self after Itachi counseled him, and Juuzou Suzuya stayed behind to try to have his body restored.
After returning to Anteiku Cafe, Yoshimura Kuzen reunited with Renji Yomo, Enji Koma, and Kaya Irimi, who learned that he had become human. Touka offered Ryoko Fueguchi hope that she and Hinami could become human too, and Ken Kaneki suggested asking Orochimaru to help.
Naruto sent Frieza into space aboard a self-operating spaceship, hoping he would find the Otsutsuki homeworld and confront them. He then planned to bring Kaito and the others from the Parasyte World to the Shinobi World, with Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju as escorts.
Naruto traveled with Madara Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha to another world, where he discovered they had arrived at the start of Attack on Titan. Seeing the Titans breach the wall, Naruto considered saving Eren’s mother to prevent Eren from controlling events through his Titan powers.
Madara Uchiha arrived inside Wall Maria, met Eren and Mikasa, and learned about the Titans and the world beyond the walls. When a red Titan breached the wall, Madara summoned Susanoo to attack the invading Titans, while Eren left to find his mother.
Naruto and Shisui saved Eren’s mother, Carla, from a Titan during the attack on the city. Madara then confronted the intelligent Armored Titan and summoned his enormous Perfect Susanoo, leaving the Titan and other witnesses terrified.
Madara defeated Reiner’s Armored Titan, while Naruto captured Reiner, Annie, and Bertholdt and planned to take control of Paradis Island. Naruto then spoke with Aizen and Wolffy, who said the Time Machine was nearly ready and agreed to come collect the captives for research.
Naruto and his companions trained six children inside Wall Maria, then held matches to test their progress, with Mikasa winning the final fight against Annie. Wolffy arrived and explained that Sasuke had joined Kakashi on a trip to find his brother, and Naruto prepared to begin his plan to take control of the country by force.
Naruto, Madara, and Shisui reached Wall Rose, where Madara used Perfect Susanoo to get them past the gate. They met the Survey Corps, and Naruto began introducing himself to Erwin while teasing Levi about his height.
Naruto told Erwin that the walls confined the people and that he had come to liberate them, then revealed the Titans inside the walls as proof. Erwin accepted Naruto’s account and began organizing the Survey Corps around Naruto’s plan to take control of the country and spread the truth.
Naruto captured Grisha Yeager and confronted him about the Attack Titan, revealing that future Eren had influenced his actions. Grisha realized Eren could use the combined powers of the Attack and Founding Titans to affect Eldians across time, while Naruto prepared to return to the Shinobi World.
Naruto asked Madara to kill Ymir and Chairman Eren, then brought Grisha and the three Titan children to the Shinobi World. The newcomers arrived safely, where Naruto welcomed them to the Otherworld.
Naruto brought Grisha and the three children to Konoha, where Tsunade found their life force was rapidly running out and said Grisha had less than seven days to live. Naruto took Grisha and Wolffy to the Ghoul World to seek help, where they encountered Parasyte Ghouls and learned Sasuke was fighting one for training.
Naruto arrived in the Ghoul World, where Itachi had brought humans and ghouls together to fight the Parasytes. After explaining his plan to eliminate the Parasytes and then confront the V Organization, Itachi left Orochimaru with Grisha as a new research subject.
Orochimaru extracted Titan spinal fluid from Grisha and used Hashirama Cells to help restore his vitality, while Naruto brought him to Wolffy’s Gaming Studio. There, Naruto discovered a training match between Ghouls and former CCG members, where Kishou Arima coached Ken Kaneki.
Naruto Uzumaki staged a fight in the Training Room, using Hideyoshi Nagachika as a hostage to test whether humans and ghouls could cooperate. After defeating the younger and older fighters, Naruto freed Hideyoshi and was introduced as the Guide of Red Thought of the Heavens.
