Chapter Summaries

Xuandou brought Pakura back to Konoha after forcing Sunagakure to pay five billion ryo and hand her over, then imprisoned her in a chakra-isolating cell. The Third Shinobi World War ended, and after Xuandou returned as a celebrated hero, the Uchiha Clan Head summoned him.

• Xuandou received a quest to become Uchiha Clan Head and explained to Shisui how his ten-billion-ryo demand had let him secure five billion ryo and Pakura from Sunagakure.
• News of Xuandou's victory and unequal treaty spread, prompting Kumogakure, Kirigakure, and Iwagakure to negotiate peace and end the Third Shinobi World War.
• Xuandou's force returned to Konoha, where villagers hailed him as the Hero Who Ended the War while Pakura watched beside him.
• Xuandou locked Pakura in a chakra-isolating cell in the Uchiha Clan Compound and told her she would remain there until she sincerely submitted.
• As Xuandou prepared to report to the Hokage, an Uchiha Clan member told him the Clan Head wanted to see him.

Xuandou clashed with Fugaku and Yashiro over the Uchiha Clan Head succession, then announced he would run against Fugaku. He reported the campaign's spoils to Hiruzen, where Mitokado Homura challenged his decision to distribute part of the money to the participating clans.

• Xuandou rebuked Yashiro for criticizing his lack of deference and questioned his role in the former Clan Head's death, prompting Fugaku to send Yashiro out.
• Uchiha Mikoto served tea while Fugaku asked Xuandou to support his bid for Clan Head, offering him the Military Police director position and future backing.
• Xuandou declared that he would run for Clan Head, noticed Uchiha Itachi watching through the door, and left Fugaku's residence.

• Xuandou reported to Hiruzen that the campaign yielded 5.6 billion ryo in assets, with 2.8 billion remaining after the participating clans received half.
• Mitokado Homura criticized Xuandou for distributing the spoils to the clans instead of turning all the money over to the village.

Xuandou defended the spoils from the Sunagakure campaign before Hiruzen and left with 5.5 billion ryo for the Uchiha Clan. After spending several days with Kurenai Yuhi, he learned that Pakura wanted to see him, two days before the clan meeting.

• Xuandou refused to hand over the battlefield spoils, and Hiruzen accepted the remaining 2.3 billion ryo as the village's share.

• Xuandou and Kurenai spent the next few days together before the Uchiha clan meeting drew near.
• A Uchiha Clan member told Xuandou that Pakura wanted to see him, and he wondered if she had decided to become his woman.

Xuandou made Pakura his personal secretary after placing a genjutsu on her, then coerced her into serving him in exchange for helping her grow stronger. The system awarded him an S-rank treasure chest, whose rewards included a ninjutsu creation card and a kekkei genkai upgrade card, and he used the former to create a new sealing jutsu.

• Xuandou visited Pakura in her cell, got her agreement to become his secretary, and planted a genjutsu in her with his Sharingan before releasing her.
• Pakura told Xuandou she had mastered Scorch Release, and he brought her home and assigned her bodyguard and errand duties.
• Xuandou demanded that Pakura also satisfy his physical needs, and she ultimately submitted after he threatened to abandon her and promised to help her grow stronger.
• The system awarded Xuandou an S-rank clan treasure chest after he achieved the objective with Pakura, giving him an S-rank Ninjutsu Creation Card and a Kekkei Genkai Upgrade Card.
• Xuandou used the Ninjutsu Creation Card to create the S-rank sealing jutsu Yin Seal Slave Mark, which could sense and control a target through a mark linked to their soul.

Xuandou used the Yin Seal to control Pakura, awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and discovered that Tokitsumori could restore his system draws. Two days later, he arrived at the Uchiha clan meeting, where the elders prepared to choose between him and Fugaku as the next clan head.

• Xuandou sealed Pakura with the Yin Seal and used it to punish her after sensing her hatred.

• Uchiha Somen and the other elders called Xuandou forward and announced that he and Fugaku would compete to become clan head.

Xuandou and Fugaku competed to decide Elder Chie’s vote in the Uchiha clan-head selection. Xuandou’s powerful genjutsu immobilized Fugaku, and as Xuandou closed in with a kunai, Fugaku prepared to use a hidden technique.

• Elder Somen voted for Xuandou, while Elder Shingen voted for Fugaku, so Elder Chie made the deciding vote a combat match between them.
• Elder Chie set the rule that neither fighter could strike to kill, then started the match outside the shrine.
• Xuandou and Fugaku exchanged fire techniques, and Fugaku’s Majestic Destroyer Flame forced Xuandou to dodge while completing unfamiliar hand seals.
• Xuandou used Yin Release: Heart's Divergent Gate, and Fugaku’s Sharingan failed to dispel the genjutsu.
• Xuandou charged with a kunai as Fugaku mistook him for his son Itachi and struggled to move, then resolved to use a hidden technique.

Xuandou defeated Fugaku after trapping him in his Mangekyō ability, Yomotsu, and was chosen as the new Uchiha clan head. The clan system then unlocked its full panel for Xuandou.

• Fugaku awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and protected himself with Susanoo, but Xuandou revealed that he had awakened the Mangekyō too.

• Xuandou received a system notification that the clan panel had officially unlocked and opened it.

• The system unlocked the Family Ancestral Shrine, Indulgence Apartments, and Desire Hot Springs, then gave Xuandou a quest to raise clan prosperity to B-rank.

The daimyo granted Hiruzen Sarutobi one more year as Hokage and named Minato Namikaze and Xuandou as candidates to succeed him. After Hiruzen ordered the Military Police Force to address worsening public disorder, Xuandou encountered a drunken man being restrained beside a crying woman.

• Iwayama Kōmon delivered the daimyo’s decree that Hiruzen Sarutobi would retire after one final year and named Minato Namikaze and Xuandou as Hokage candidates.

• Xuandou found two Military Police officers restraining a drunken man beside a sobbing woman and asked what had happened.

• Xuandou ordered guards to take away a drunk who had harassed a woman, and considered how the Military Police Force’s duties worsened the Uchiha’s reputation.
• Shisui brought craftsmen to Xuandou, and Goumu Yanō agreed to build the Family Ancestral Shrine, Indulgence Apartments, and Desire Hot Springs for a large fee.
• Xuandou paid an advance to Goumu and entrusted Shisui with funds to pay for construction as it progressed.
• Aburame Torune reported to Danzo that Uchiha Xuantou had distributed Soldier Pills during the war and presented two pills.
• Danzo tried a Soldier Pill, ordered Torune to investigate its formula and supply, then directed Root to capture Uchiha clan members alive and question them.

Xuandou met Orochimaru in his underground laboratory and agreed to contact him about Sharingan research. After Orochimaru punished Anko for resisting his experiments, Xuandou returned to the Uchiha compound, where Shisui reported catching two people who had tried to abduct clan members.

• Xuandou encountered Anko, who led him and Pakura to Orochimaru's hidden laboratory in the Forest of Death.
• Orochimaru asked Xuandou to help him study the Sharingan and offered to share his research; Xuandou accepted a summoning scroll for contacting him.
• Anko told Orochimaru she no longer wanted to take part in his experiments, so he triggered her Cursed Seal and threatened her.
• Xuandou returned to the Uchiha compound with Pakura, where Shisui presented two bound people he had caught trying to abduct Uchiha clan members.

Xuandou discovered that Danzo’s Root agents had tried to infiltrate the Uchiha and arrested two of them, while Danzo escalated his campaign against the clan. The chapter ended with three Root ninja confronting Xuandou in the Uchiha compound and preparing to attack him.

• Xuandou used Yin Release: Heart's Divergent Gate on a captured ninja, but the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal activated before he could reveal Root’s secrets; Shisui took both agents away.
• Aburame Torune reported that the two Root ninja sent to the Uchiha had disappeared, and Danzo blamed Hiruzen for allowing the Uchiha to grow powerful.
• Danzo argued with Hiruzen and the advisers about Uchiha Xuantou’s potential as Hokage, then ordered Root to arrest him under the pretext of investigating the missing agents.

• The Root ninja ordered one another to teach Xuandou a lesson and attack him.

• Xuandou used Susanoo to defeat three Root ninja, ordered them imprisoned, and called a mandatory clan meeting.

• The fragrance and steam grew stronger, enveloping Xuandou and Kurenai.

Uchiha hot springs gained a reputation in Konoha for healing injuries and improving the clan’s benefits. After Kushina Uzumaki asked to use them, Xuandou made an exception and granted her ongoing access, and she hurried off with Mikoto.

• Uchiha clan members reported that the hot springs eased old injuries and improved their sleep, drawing long queues and spreading rumors across Konoha.
• Xuandou watched the women’s bath through the system feed and recalled seeing Mikoto there, while Pakura grew resentful of his behavior.
• Mikoto visited Xuandou with Kushina, who asked to use the hot springs after hearing about their benefits.
• Xuandou initially said outsiders were not allowed, but made an exception for Kushina because she was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and had served Konoha.
• Xuandou told Kushina she could return whenever she wanted, and she pulled Mikoto away to go soak.

Xuandou watched Mikoto and Kushina at Desire Hot Springs, then saw the Uchiha Clan Compound grow as new apartments helped drive a baby boom. In Konoha Year 51, he joined Fugaku at the arrest of a disruptive Special Jōnin, but an angry bystander threw an egg at a Uchiha officer.

• Mikoto told Kushina she wanted another child with Fugaku but rarely had time with him, and Kushina confided that Minato was often away and she wanted a child too.

• Fugaku ordered the Konoha Military Police Force to take the restrained Special Jōnin away, but someone threw an egg at an officer and shouted that all Uchiha deserved to die.

Xuandou witnessed public hostility toward the Uchiha Military Police before joining Fugaku at the hospital for Sasuke’s birth, which raised the clan’s prosperity and unlocked two new buildings. Back home, Xuandou used Tokitsumori to undo a B-rank draw and obtained wind-nature chakra mastery, leaving one draw attempt.

• An elderly woman accused the Uchiha Military Police of framing her son, and Fugaku ordered the officers to take the arrested ninja away despite the crowd’s grumbling.
• Itachi told Fugaku that Mikoto was giving birth, and Xuandou went with them to the hospital, where Fugaku named his newborn son Sasuke.
• Sasuke’s birth raised Uchiha clan prosperity to B-rank and unlocked the Sharingan Awakening Chamber and Mission Hall.
• Xuandou returned home and drew the B-rank Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, then used Tokitsumori to reverse the draw and regain the attempt.
• Xuandou drew again and received A-rank wind nature chakra mastery, then used his final draw attempt.

Xuandou obtained the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique after repeatedly rewinding time to improve his reward draw, then received a quest to save Kushina during the Nine-Tails' Catastrophe. He visited the heavily pregnant Kushina to pursue a plan, but Minato reacted badly when Xuandou asked about her due date.

• Xuandou rewound time through four draws, then won the A-rank Multiple Shadow Clone Technique on his fifth attempt and learned it.
• Xuandou tested the technique by creating two physical shadow clones and considered its chakra and memory-transfer risks.

• Xuandou asked Kushina about her hospital due date, and Minato's expression darkened as he called the question inappropriate.

Xuandou warned Konoha's leaders that an Akatsuki member with a Sharingan planned to seize the Nine-Tails during Kushina's delivery. Hiruzen rejected Xuandou's proposals for evacuations and moving Kushina, but promised to reinforce defenses on the day she gave birth.

• After Xuandou explained that an attacker might target Kushina during her delivery, Minato took him and Kushina to report the threat to Hiruzen.
• Xuandou told Hiruzen and the advisers that one Akatsuki member with a stray Uchiha Sharingan intended to seize the Nine-Tails.

• Xuandou activated his Sharingan and confronted Danzo before Hiruzen stopped them and promised to deploy the Barrier Team and Anbu when Kushina gave birth.
