Chapter Summaries

Xuandou received Ebizo, a Sunagakure adviser, who brought him the bodies of five former Kage as a gift. The gift strengthened Xuandou’s defenses against the coming Ōtsutsuki threat, but Shamon’s inclusion left him wondering what Ebizo intended.

• Xuandou arranged guards for Yunyou and Mirai and ordered them to stay inside until he dealt with their enemies.
• Ebizo arrived in Azure Tide Port and told Xuandou that his visit was his own idea, not an order from either Kazekage.
• Temari entered the office, greeted Ebizo, and watched as he presented Xuandou with a Seal Scroll containing five stone coffins.
• Ebizo identified the bodies as First Tsuchikage Ishikawa, the First and Second Raikage, and the First and Second Kazekage, Reto and Shamon.
• Xuandou considered how the five bodies could reinforce his forces, then questioned why Ebizo had brought Shamon’s body.

Ebizo asked Xuandou to take in the people of the Land of Wind, and Xuandou promised to annex it within three months as Xuanyin prepared to unite the Shinobi World. That night, Shion told Xuandou that a prophecy required them to have a child who might avert a future crisis, and she took the initiative when he feigned ignorance.

• Ebizo explained that the people of the Land of Wind suffered in the desert and asked Xuandou to relocate them, citing Temari and his gift.
• Ebizo admitted that both of Sunagakure's Kage Level fighters were under someone else's control, leaving him little power to resist Xuandou.
• Xuandou promised that Xuanyin would incorporate the Land of Wind within three months and grant its people the benefits of Xuanyin's rule.
• Shion summoned Xuandou to her bedroom and said she wanted a child because her prophecy foretold that their child could save the Shinobi World from a future crisis.
• Xuandou claimed he did not know how to proceed, so Shion blushed and took matters into her own hands.

Xuandou used an SSS-rank Mission Generation Card and received a mission to eliminate Kara in exchange for a reward that could replicate a system reward. After learning Shion had conceived their son Shiroya, he questioned her prophecy and ignored her requests to leave.

• Xuandou claimed an S-rank Clan Treasure Chest, received an SSS-rank Mission Card, and generated the mission to eliminate nine living members of Kara for an SSS-rank Reward Replication Card.
• Xuandou considered how Kara’s defeat could also yield rewards through Isshiki, Boro’s side quest, and the Complete Ten-Tails.
• Shion dressed and told Xuandou to leave, explaining that she had fulfilled the prophecy by conceiving their child.
• Xuandou learned that their son would be named Uchiha Shiroya and asked why Shion had conceived him on that particular night.
• Shion attributed the prophecy to the will of the Shinobi World, but Xuandou proposed that they try for a second child, prompting Shion to shout at him.

Xuandou told Shion that she had not conceived Shiroya despite the prophecy, and she panicked at the thought of losing the child. They went to the Desire Hot Springs to repeat the prophecy’s events and try to conceive.

• Xuandou dried Shion’s hair, but she sent him away from her bedroom.
• Xuandou told Shion she had not conceived Shiroya, and she confirmed the news with a prophecy.
• Shion grabbed Xuandou’s trouser leg and urged him to try again so their child could be born.
• Shion took Xuandou to the Desire Hot Springs and instructed him to follow the movements from her prophecy.
• Xuandou followed Shion’s directions as she corrected his movements and begged him to spare her.

Xuandou learned that Shion was pregnant with their child, Uchiha Shiroya, and carried her back to the Imperial Palace, where he ran into Ino and Sakura. After taking his students to the Training Ground, he demonstrated a powerful sword technique that left Ino eager to learn it.

• A System Notification told Xuandou that Shion had conceived, and he was thrilled that their child would be named Uchiha Shiroya.
• Xuandou carried the sleeping Shion to her bedroom, ordered the maid to give her the highest level of care, and left with Ino and Sakura.
• Ino tried to slip away from Xuandou, but he counted down and made her and Sakura return to accompany him to the Training Ground.
• At the Training Ground, Xuandou unleashed a sword slash that tore through rock and air.
• Ino admired Xuandou's sword technique and asked him to teach it to her.

Xuandou brought Sakura and Ino to watch Hatake Sakumo train the young ninja, and Sakura learned that Sakumo’s secret original Ninjutsu was Thousand Years of Death. After Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji discussed Sakumo’s overwhelming speed, Xuandou asked Sakumo to see what the youngsters could do.

• Xuandou led Sakura and Ino to the Training Ground, where Hatake Sakumo and his students were gathered.
• Sakumo offered Sakura a scroll of his secret Ninjutsu, and Sasuke revealed that it was Thousand Years of Death, leaving Sakura mortified.
• Sakumo explained that he had been demonstrating pure Taijutsu and Kenjutsu to Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji.
• Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji described how difficult it was to keep up with Sakumo’s speed, though Neji’s Byakugan could track him.
• Mirai asked why Hinata was absent, and Xuandou said she was resting before asking Sakumo to watch the youngsters demonstrate their abilities.

Sakumo agreed to test the young ninjas in a duel, with the winner earning a custom-made weapon, and began fighting Naruto. Naruto revealed a clever diversion and impressed the onlookers, but Sakumo launched another attack before the match was decided.

• Xuandou offered a custom-made weapon to the winner of the duel and explained that his own Time-Stop Demon Blade was not the prize.
• Naruto stepped forward to face Sakumo, hoping to win a weapon and celebrate with fifty bowls of ramen.
• Sakumo quickly appeared behind Naruto and struck with a wooden sword, cutting through the kunai held by Naruto's decoy.
• Naruto revealed that he had hidden elsewhere and praised Sakumo's skill, then declared that Sakumo would still lose.
• Sakumo vanished and reappeared above Naruto, bringing down another slash.

Sakumo defeated Naruto in a spar, then challenged the gathered young ninjas to fight him all at once. After Xuandou healed Naruto, the group prepared to face Sakumo, who offered to take Mirai as his student if they could defeat him.

• Naruto opened three of the Eight Gates and fought Sakumo, but Sakumo emerged unharmed while Naruto was unconscious and bruised.
• Sasuke and Neji challenged Sakumo, who invited everyone except Xuandou to attack him together.
• Xuandou used Medical Ninjutsu to heal Naruto, who accepted his loss and joked that he would punish himself by eating forty bowls of ramen.
• Kakashi rallied Sasuke, Neji, Naruto, Ino, Sakura, and Mirai to show Sakumo what they could do.
• Sakumo offered to make Mirai his student if the group defeated him, while warning Kakashi not to ask about the apprenticeship if they lost.

Mirai and his companions challenged Hatake Sakumo so Mirai could prove himself worthy of becoming his student, but Sakumo swiftly overwhelmed their attacks. As Mirai saw his friends in danger, he awakened his Mangekyō’s power through a mysterious white sword hilt, leaving the outcome uncertain.

• Mirai declared that he and his companions would win, while Xuandou reflected on awakening Mirai’s Mangekyō and protecting his sons from Jigen.
• Kakashi revealed his Mangekyō and said he would not give up the two-million-ryo mission payment, then vanished as Xuandou signaled the start of the match.
• Naruto, Sasuke, Neji, Sakura, and Ino attacked Sakumo with clones, ninjutsu, kunai, and summoned Katsuyu and the Second Manda, while Xuandou surrounded the Training Ground with sound-blocking mist.
• Sakumo avoided Kakashi’s Lightning Blade, cut through Sasuke’s fireball, and wounded the Second Manda, prompting Neji to explain that Sakumo was faster than lightning.
• Mirai blamed himself as his companions risked themselves, awakened his Mangekyō, and drew a white sword hilt from his Storage Scroll.
• The white sword hilt transformed into a streak of light and began draining Mirai’s dōjutsu power, chakra, blood, and vitality.

Mirai’s Mangekyō Dōjutsu summoned a masked ninja who matched Hatake Sakumo in a fierce sword fight. After they conceded, the mask crumbled to reveal the summoned ninja had Sakumo’s identical face, and Sakumo remarked that Mirai no longer needed a master.

• Xuandou watched Mirai’s Mangekyō change and a ninja in a green tactical vest appear beside him.
• Mirai gave the newcomer a black short sword and a white rabbit mask, and the masked ninja blocked Sakumo’s attack on Neji with one slash.
• Sakumo and the masked ninja exchanged over a thousand strikes before Sakumo’s chakra-forged wooden sword crumbled and both formed the Seal of Reconciliation.
• The rabbit mask disintegrated, revealing a face identical to Sakumo’s, and Sakumo asked Xuandou whether Mirai still needed a master.

Xuandou healed Sasuke after Sakumo defeated him, and Mirai persuaded Sakumo to accept him as an apprentice. The group celebrated at a barbecue restaurant, while Xuandou privately punished Ino and Sakura for their behavior.

• Xuandou healed Sasuke and told Sakumo that Mirai alone could decide whether to become his apprentice.
• Sakumo agreed to take Mirai as his apprentice after Mirai explained his reasons and asked him directly.
• Naruto's beauty clones and the others celebrated Mirai's new apprenticeship, while Xuandou used genjutsu to separate Ino and Sakura and discipline them.
• At the barbecue restaurant, Naruto ate through many platters and ordered more, while Ino scolded him for asking why she and Sakura were standing.

Xuandou brought Shion and Hinata to the Ōtsutsuki Sect Base to use Shion’s fate-prediction talent to investigate why Eida and Daemon had not awakened. Shion revealed that Eida was already awake, but refused to explain further, saying it was not the right time for her to awaken.

• Xuandou visited Shion and Hinata, gave Hinata free-meal vouchers, and took them through a vortex to his Yomotsu Space.
• At the laboratory, Xuandou asked Shion to use her talent to predict when Eida and Daemon would awaken.
• Shion predicted that Eida had already awakened and that her Shinjutsu Omnipotence had rewritten the prediction.
• Xuandou threatened Bagu for pretending not to know Eida was awake, then left the base with Shion and Hinata.
• Shion told Xuandou that now was not the best time for Eida to awaken.

Xuandou chose to help Eida evolve by obtaining a God Tree Fruit, while deciding to keep her asleep in Yomotsu Space for now. He learned from Shion that she was pregnant with the child from the prophecy, then stayed close to her as dusk arrived.

• Shion explained that Eida's uncontrolled powers made awakening her dangerous, and Xuandou agreed to leave her asleep in Yomotsu Space.
• Xuandou accepted the system quest to help Eida evolve and planned to use a God Tree Fruit to resolve her flaws.
• Hinata left Xuandou and Shion alone, and Xuandou asked Shion whether she had conceived the child from the prophecy.
• Shion admitted that she was pregnant, and Xuandou excitedly welcomed the news.
• Shion fell asleep in Xuandou's arms until dusk, then objected to his advances because she was pregnant.
• Xuandou persuaded Shion to accept his closeness and led her to go eat.

Konan gave birth to Uchiha Yuzu, and Xuandou chose the powerful God of Paper trait for her. As his family’s efforts to have more children intensified, Xuandou eventually sent people to take over the Land of Wind.

• Konan gave birth to a daughter, and Xuandou chose the God of Paper trait for her.
• Xuandou named the baby Uchiha Yuzu and received an S-rank Ninjutsu Upgrade Card from the system.
• Xuandou introduced Yuzu to her siblings and brought her to Konan, who happily welcomed their daughter.
• Mabui, Shizune, and other women urged Xuandou to help them conceive, and the news of Ziwan’s pregnancy reignited their efforts.
• After another month passed, Xuandou sent people to take over the Land of Wind.

After conquering the Land of Wind, Xuandou triggered a quest to unify the Shinobi World, which required him to hold an accession ceremony. As he prepared for the ceremony and anticipated Kara’s interference, he upgraded the Camouflage Concealment Technique into the S-rank Invisibility Technique.

• Xuandou received the unification quest and learned that an accession ceremony would complete it and earn him the Human Natural Energy Cultivation Method.
• Xuandou set the accession ceremony for half a month later and instructed Mabui to notify the departments to prepare.
• Xuandou considered upgrading the Body Flicker Technique, Camouflage Concealment Technique, or Substitution Technique to strengthen himself against Kara.
• Xuandou chose the Camouflage Concealment Technique and used the S-rank Ninjutsu Upgrade Card to turn it into the Invisibility Technique.
• Xuandou absorbed the new technique’s knowledge and realized it could help advance ninjutsu research and potentially support a Sage Art version capable of concealing him from the Rinnegan.

Xuandou’s Enthronement Ceremony drew crowds to Azure Tide Port, while Anko dragged Kurenai and Mirai away to buy Honey Dango and nearly made them late. Xuandou watched over them in secret as he searched the crowds for Kara, but found no sign of its members.

• People from across the Shinobi World gathered in Azure Tide Port to witness Xuandou’s Enthronement Ceremony and celebrate the end of the wars.
• Anko led Kurenai and Mirai away from the ceremony to buy Honey Dango, saying they owed her after Mirai had stolen one of her skewers.
• Anko ordered sixty skewers from a vendor, but he had sold out and only recognized her after she reminded him of their past.
• Anko, Kurenai, and Mirai hurried toward Xuanyin’s Imperial Palace as the ceremony approached.
• Xuandou secretly followed them with the Invisibility Technique and wondered whether his fear of a Kara attack had been mistaken, since he could find no Kara members in the crowds.

Xuandou completed the unification of the shinobi world, established the imperial government, and was enthroned as its First Emperor. As the celebrations continued into the night, Orochimaru reunited with his resurrected student Nawaki.

• Xuandou declared the Time-Stop Demon Blade, the state seal, and the imperial seal to be the treasures of imperial succession, then established the Daijōkan and abolished the ninja village and shinobi nation system.
• Xuandou donned an imperial robe, ascended the throne as emperor, named the era Divine Emperor, and declared that it was the First Year of the Divine Emperor Calendar.
• Xuandou led a procession through the cheering crowds while his family greeted the people and tossed them gifts, food, and pastries.
• After the ceremony, Azure Tide Port held an all-night celebration with fireworks and free banquets.
• Orochimaru changed into a blue-cloud-patterned robe and reunited with Nawaki, who rushed to embrace him.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki met Xuandou and tried to recruit him into Kara, but Xuandou rejected his plan to sacrifice the Shinobi World. Isshiki revealed his intent to kill Xuandou and attacked him with overwhelming force.

• Xuandou met Obito in a desolate forest, where Ōtsutsuki Isshiki appeared alone.
• Isshiki studied Xuandou and recognized him as an unprecedented threat who had grown powerful in just over a decade.
• Xuandou asked what Isshiki wanted, and Isshiki invited him to join Kara and support the God Tree’s harvest.
• Xuandou rejected Isshiki’s offer and condemned his view that other lives were inferior.
• Isshiki announced he would kill Xuandou and attack his followers the next day, then unleashed a devastating repulsive force across the area.

Xuandou fought Isshiki with the Coiling Dragon Staff and drained his energy, leaving Isshiki desperate as his attacks failed to stop the siphoning. Isshiki shrank himself with Sukunahikona to escape, while Xuandou waited for him to make a mistake and sought to evolve his own shinjutsu.

• Xuandou opened the sixth gate and clashed with Isshiki, whose repulsive force shattered the surrounding landscape.
• Obito watched from a distance and feared that the shinobi world would fall to the Ōtsutsuki if Xuandou lost.
• Isshiki realized Xuandou’s black staff was draining his energy despite his attempts to seal it, and he despaired at the prospect of Xuandou growing even stronger.
• Isshiki used Sukunahikona to shrink himself and break free, deciding he had to escape and contact his clan so they could kill Xuandou.
• Xuandou put away the Coiling Dragon Staff, guarded against Isshiki burrowing into his body, and waited while hoping to obtain the Shinjutsu Upgrade Card.

Xuandou used Tokitsumori to rewind time and prevent Isshiki from escaping, then trapped him in Yomotsu Space and fought off his attacks. Eida extinguished Isshiki’s heavenly fire with her Omnipotence, and the chapter ended with Isshiki confronting her and Daemon while Xuandou watched.

• Xuandou opened the Eighth Gate, wounded Isshiki, and knocked him into Yomotsu Space before closing the entrance.
• Isshiki recognized Xuandou’s time-based Dōjutsu, regrew his arm, and used Sukunahikona to vanish.
• Isshiki summoned meteorites with Daikokuten, and Xuandou blocked them near the mountain where Eida and Daemon were staying.
• Eida used her Omnipotence to extinguish the heavenly fire and restore life to Yomotsu Space, surprising Xuandou with its power to create life.
• Eida and Daemon greeted Isshiki, and Daemon accused him of abandoning them; Isshiki denied it and claimed they had been allowed to hide under his watch.
• Xuandou clapped and called the exchange fascinating.
