Chapter Summaries

Kazahana Koyuki offered Tsunade an S-rank mission to recover her father’s Hexagonal Crystal Necklace from Kazahana Shinta, who had occupied the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools. Xuandou exposed Koyuki’s concealment about the necklace, but accepted the mission and offered to buy it from her.

• Kazahana Koyuki offered thirty million ryō for Tsunade to recover her father’s necklace from Kazahana Shinta and his ninja at the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools.
• Xuandou recognized the necklace as the key to a Geothermal Device meant to change the Land of Snow’s weather and questioned Koyuki about its purpose.
• Xuandou challenged Koyuki’s claim that the necklace was ordinary, while Tsunade and Asama Sandayu grew suspicious of the mission’s unusually high reward and concealed details.
• Tsunade returned Koyuki’s advance payment and refused the mission, saying Jiraiya’s life mattered too.
• Xuandou accepted the mission despite Tsunade’s refusal and told Koyuki he wanted to buy her father’s keepsake.

Xuandou confronted Kazahana Koyuki over the keepsake her father left behind, suspecting she had used Tsunade and him to find it. He revealed that the inheritance could transform the Land of Snow’s climate and asked whether Koyuki had fulfilled her father’s hopes.

• Kazahana Koyuki refused Xuandou’s offers of money for her father’s keepsake, and Xuandou asked her to lend it to him instead.
• Xuandou accused Koyuki of scheming to exploit his and Tsunade’s names, then used his authority and pressure to intimidate her.
• Asama Sandayū tried to ingratiate himself with Xuandou, but Koyuki called him a traitor and rejected his attempt to placate her.
• Xuandou healed Koyuki’s injured foot and dried her clothes, while Tsunade argued that Kazahana Sōsetsu’s inheritance belonged to the people of the Land of Snow.

• Kazahana Koyuki demanded that Asama Sandayū say whether she had lived up to her father’s hopes, and he reluctantly said she had failed him.
• Koyuki protested that Xuandou and Tsunade had never met her father, but Xuandou claimed his power and status gave him the right to judge her.

• Xuandou returned Koyuki’s thirty million ryō and paid her twenty million ryō in rent for the necklace.
• Koyuki stumbled on the frost-covered grass, and Xuandou caught her around the waist.

Xuandou teased and struck Kazahana Koyuki after catching her, then evaded her retaliation and left her demanding help. Asama Sandayū fled to find a medical ninja, and Xuandou ordered Koyuki to sit on his lap for another harsh lesson.

• Koyuki fell into Xuandou's arms after her glass slipper shattered, and he held her while teasing her.
• Xuandou struck Koyuki, and she angrily swung her elbows at him; he dodged, causing her to fall onto the grass.

• Xuandou claimed an A-Rank Family Chest and received a prompt asking whether to open it.

Xuandou used an S-rank Side Quest Card and repeatedly reversed time to choose an SS-rank quest to create a Water Release resurrection jutsu. He planned to use Shiwa’s unused S-rank Ninjutsu Creation Card to complete it, then turned his attention to Tsunade and Kazahana Koyuki.

• Xuandou used the card and received an incomplete SS-rank quest to eliminate Kara, but disliked its limited reward and its exclusion of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
• Xuandou used Tokitsumori to reverse time and retry the card, eventually selecting the quest to create an S-rank Water Release resurrection jutsu.

• Xuandou planned to use Shiwa’s unused S-rank Ninjutsu Creation Card to create the required jutsu.
• Tsunade woke beside Kazahana Koyuki, and Xuandou pounced toward them.

After teasing Kazahana Koyuki over her sleep talk, Xuandou met with Uchiha Shinji, who asked to resign and pursue the culprit behind the chaos in the Land of Snow. Xuandou backed Shinji’s investigation, learned about his Mangekyō abilities, and watched him activate the Winter Domain.

• Kazahana Koyuki murmured in her sleep that Xuandou should hit Tsunade first, leaving Tsunade embarrassed when Xuandou recognized the words from the previous day.
• Xuandou warned Kazahana Koyuki to keep her distance from Tsunade while they walked to Yukigakure’s entrance.
• Uchiha Shinji asked Xuandou to let him resign so he could track down the true culprit behind the chaos in the Land of Snow.
• Xuandou approved Shinji’s plan to investigate the Ōtsutsuki Sect’s supplies and wealth, and promised the Uchiha would support him.
• Shinji revealed that his left eye’s Winter could freeze bodies, souls, and chakra, while his right eye’s Mirror Sequence linked marked targets and let them communicate and transfer chakra.
• At Xuandou’s request, Shinji activated Winter, spreading a freezing domain over the entrance to Yukigakure.

Xuandou tested Shinji’s two Mangekyō Dōjutsu, and the second caused a painful backlash when Shinji linked to the vastly stronger Rinnegan. After arranging care and handling affairs in the Land of Snow, Xuandou gathered Hinata, Ino, and Sakura to give them an important mission.

• Xuandou endured Shinji’s soul-freezing Dōjutsu and praised its danger before asking to see Shinji’s second ability.
• Shinji’s right eye backfired when he linked to Xuandou, and Xuandou and Tsunade treated him while Xuandou sensed a fleeting Rinnegan presence in Shinji.
• Shinji explained that his right eye relayed and encoded information through his Mangekyō Dōjutsu Mirror Sequence, and Xuandou warned him not to link to stronger targets.

• Hinata, Ino, and Sakura reacted with excitement when Xuandou announced a mission.
• Ino and Sakura asked whether the mission would take them far away and complained about their workloads.

• Ino and Sakura teased Xuandou about bringing home another wife and told him to work harder.
• Xuandou praised Hinata for not complaining, and Hinata defended him before Ino and Sakura playfully teased her.

Xuandou used an S-Rank Ninjutsu Creation Card and repeatedly rewound its results until he created Underworld Tide: Return of the Dead, a resurrection technique with serious costs and drawbacks. Completing the SS-rank mission earned him 27 Life Reincarnation Cards, which he planned to use to bring legendary shinobi back under his command.

• Xuandou handed Hinata, Sakura, and Ino the mission scroll for retrieving the Hexagonal Crystal and ordered them to prepare for an S-rank mission in the Land of Whirlpools.
• Xuandou used the S-Rank Ninjutsu Creation Card and rejected the generated medical ninjutsu, then repeatedly rewound through hundreds of taijutsu and ninjutsu results.
• On his 351st draw, Xuandou obtained Underworld Tide: Return of the Dead, which resurrected the dead through a ritual but consumed the caster’s life energy and chakra and left the recipient cold and unable to use Fire Release Ninjutsu.
• Xuandou accepted Underworld Tide: Return of the Dead and completed the SS-rank mission, earning 27 Life Reincarnation Cards.
• Xuandou withdrew the cards and imagined using them to bring Tobirama Senju, Uchiha Izuna, Minato Namikaze, and Hatake Sakumo back to serve him.

Xuandou learned that Madara had taken Izuna’s remains with him when he left the Uchiha, so finding Izuna’s resting place would require asking Madara. Xuandou returned to Konoha to resurrect Tobirama and Minato first, then visited Tsunade as she worked through the village’s rebuilding paperwork.

• Xuandou asked Zongyan where Izuna was buried, but Zongyan explained that Madara had removed Izuna and Tajima’s remains from Naka Shrine when he left Konoha.

• Tsunade convinced Xuandou to resurrect Tobirama Senju by eagerly attending to him and preparing Tobirama’s body at the Senju Clan Compound.
• Xuandou went to Minato Namikaze’s burial place in Konoha Forest and brought Minato’s coffin to the compound using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

• Xuandou used two White Zetsu as sacrifices and performed Impure World Reincarnation on Tobirama and Minato.
• Minato cried out in surprise at his resurrection, while Tobirama recognized the technique and charged at Xuandou with a kunai.

Tobirama Senju attacked Xuandou in a fury, but Xuandou’s Yae-gaki armor withstood his strongest assault. Xuandou revealed that he was married into the Senju family, and Tobirama realized the bride was closely connected to Tsunade and Nawaki.

• Tobirama Senju, driven by hatred of the Uchiha, rushed to stab Xuandou while Minato failed to reach him in time.
• Xuandou’s Yae-gaki activated automatically and deflected Tobirama’s repeated kunai strikes.
• Tobirama shattered one layer of Xuandou’s armor with his final blow, but Xuandou emerged unharmed and praised his strength.
• Tobirama asked what kind of monster Xuandou was, and Xuandou insisted he was an ordinary Uchiha shinobi and a son-in-law of the Senju Clan.
• Xuandou put his arm around Tsunade, and Tobirama recognized the tear-streaked face as the worst possible match for his fears.

Tobirama reunited with Tsunade, while Minato learned that Kushina and Naruto were safe after the Nine-Tails’ attack. Tsunade revealed Konoha’s troubled history and Hiruzen’s mistreatment of Minato’s family, leaving Minato stunned when Xuandou disclosed that Kushina was now his wife.

• Tobirama caught Tsunade as she rushed to embrace him and comforted her.
• Minato asked Xuandou about Kushina, Naruto, Konoha, and the Nine-Tails, and Xuandou assured him they were doing well.

• Minato condemned Hiruzen’s treatment of Kushina and Naruto, and Xuandou revealed that Kushina was now his wife.

Minato learned that Kushina had married Xuandou and grieved the time he had lost with her, but he chose to find out for himself how she and Naruto had lived after his death. Xuandou revealed that he planned to revive Minato and Tobirama perfectly in exchange for their labor, and Tobirama learned that Hashirama had already been revived.

• Minato regretted neglecting Kushina and asked Xuandou why he had been brought back with Impure World Reincarnation.
• Minato said he would investigate Kushina and Naruto's lives himself rather than ask others about them.

• Tsunade and Shizune told Tobirama that Hashirama had already been revived, leaving him overwhelmed with excitement at the prospect of seeing his brother.

Xuandou resurrected Minato and demanded that he and Tobirama serve him, while Tobirama hesitated over becoming an Uchiha’s subordinate. Minato asked Xuandou to resurrect his students Obito and Rin, and Xuandou realized Rin’s return could give him leverage to draw Obito out.

• Tobirama apologized to Minato for taking the chance to be resurrected, then declared his loyalty to Hashirama and his willingness to eliminate any threat to him.
• Xuandou warned Minato and Tobirama that resurrection required them to serve him, and Minato agreed to the terms.
• Xuandou used a Life Reincarnation Card to restore Minato to life, while Tobirama struggled to accept serving an Uchiha.
• Minato asked Xuandou to resurrect Obito and Rin, explaining that they were as dear to him as family.
• Xuandou considered using Rin’s resurrection and Minato’s relationship with Obito to lure Obito out and confront him over the Nine-Tails’ Catastrophe.

Tobirama rejected the chance to be resurrected rather than submit to the Uchiha, while Xuandou continued building his forces and managing territories. After learning that Obito had settled near a barren mountain and taken up farming, Xuandou went to meet someone with Minato.

• Tobirama refused to become a subordinate of the Uchiha, and Tsunade accepted his decision.

• Xuandou left Anko and appeared beside Minato, asking him to come meet someone.

• Minato embraced Obito and told him he had recently seen Rin Nohara, while Obito froze at the sight of his teacher crying.

Obito reunited with Minato and thanked Xuandou for reviving Minato and Rin before giving Xuandou evidence that Kara had approached him. After learning Jigen had promised Obito an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Xuandou realized Kara might be targeting his children, and Obito offered to infiltrate Kara if Xuandou protected Minato.

• Minato reunited with Obito, asked about his life, and told him to follow his own heart when discussing matters with Xuandou.
• Obito thanked Xuandou for bringing Rin and Minato back to life, then gave him Kara's button and reported that Jigen had invited him to join Kara.
• Obito said Jigen had promised him a pair of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, alarming Xuandou because he believed Yunyou and Mirai's eyes might be Kara's target.
• Xuandou returned Obito's sealed Mangekyō eye and the Kara button, but Obito accepted only the button and offered to infiltrate Kara in exchange for Xuandou protecting Minato.

Xuandou learned from Shion’s prophecies that Yunyou would lose his Mangekyō Sharingan and Mirai would face an attack, though Hatake Sakumo would protect him until Xuandou arrived. He reassured his sons that the future could be changed and vowed to protect them.

• Shion predicted that Yunyou would lose his special eyes, and Xuandou told him the future was not fixed.
