Chapter Summaries

Xuandou concealed the Shinobi World from the Ōtsutsuki and hoped the Sage of Six Paths’ prophecy would spur the shinobi to keep training. As Naruto and Sasuke awakened new powers, Xuandou considered resurrecting Hagoromo, Hamura, and their sons to strengthen the world against the Ōtsutsuki.

• Xuandou used Shinjutsu: Divine Concealment to hide the Shinobi World’s location from anyone lacking Shinjutsu: Clairvoyance or a similar ability.
• Xuandou told the assembled shinobi that the Ōtsutsuki would not be able to reach the Shinobi World easily, while keeping the details of his shinjutsu secret.
• Xuandou reflected that many shinobi had grown lax in their training and intended to use the Sage of Six Paths’ prophecy to push them to regain their resolve.
• Naruto awakened with golden chakra, Truth-Seeking Orbs, and the power to restore the ruined river valley, while Sasuke gained Mangekyō Sharingan and a Rinnegan.
• The Sage of Six Paths wondered whether Asura and Indra’s fate could finally be reconciled, and Xuandou considered using Life Reincarnation Cards to resurrect Hagoromo, Hamura, and their sons.

Xuandou received a main quest to raise the Uchiha Clan’s Family Prosperity to S-S-rank after Naruto and Sasuke awakened new powers. The Sage of Six Paths explained their connection to Asura and Indra, while Xuandou refused his offer to empower Naruto’s Truth-Seeking Orbs and said he would arrange seals to contain the youths’ new power.

• Xuandou received the S-S-rank clan quest, which promised three lottery draws for increasing the Uchiha Clan’s membership, fame, and strength.
• Naruto mistook the Sage of Six Paths for an enemy, but Neji corrected him, and Naruto apologized and bowed.

• The Sage of Six Paths explained that Naruto and Sasuke carried the reincarnated chakra of Asura and Indra, whose feud had continued for a thousand years.
• Naruto and Sasuke argued over being brothers, while the Sage of Six Paths offered to infuse Naruto’s Truth-Seeking Orbs with Tailed Beast power.
• Xuandou declined and said Orochimaru and Kushina would seal away Naruto and Sasuke’s power before warning that the Ōtsutsuki Clan could not do as it pleased in the Shinobi World.

Xuandou arranged for Naruto and Sasuke to seal away the unstable power of Asura and Indra, then restored the battlefield with Yang Release. Kakashi identified the masked ninja as Obito, who fled rather than face his former friend and remained burdened by guilt over his past crimes.

• Xuandou sent Naruto and Sasuke to receive seals from Orochimaru and Kushina to contain their newly gained power.
• Naruto and Sasuke went to Orochimaru's laboratory with Neji and Mirai, while Xuandou worried Orochimaru might investigate their power.
• Xuandou used Yang Release to regrow trees and restore the ravaged river valley.
• Kakashi pursued the Black-Coat Masked Ninja, recognized him as Obito, and called out that he and Rin missed him.
• Obito escaped Kakashi and recalled his past with Kakashi and Rin, while fearing the people he had hurt would reject him.

Minato urged Obito to face his guilt openly and contribute to the Shinobi World, while acknowledging that he could not forgive Obito on behalf of Konoha’s victims. As Konoha flourished under Xuanyin, Jiraiya tried to teach Kashin Koji to value life, and Xuandou noticed a change in Eida’s Yomotsu Space.

• Minato met Obito after six months and told him to stop hiding and find a way to move forward by helping the Shinobi World.
• Minato reflected on his regret over failing to protect Obito and Rin, while recognizing that he could not forgive Obito for the people killed in the Nine-Tails' Catastrophe.
• Konoha had been rebuilt and expanded, with Xuanyin forces guarding its walls and a statue of Xuandou standing behind the Hokage statues.
• Jiraiya brought Kashin Koji to the women's bath to gather material, claiming that he was helping the clone experience life's beauty.
• Kashin Koji sensed unfamiliar emotions after months with Jiraiya, while Xuandou noticed a silver-glowing vortex in his Yomotsu Space where Eida was evolving.

Xuandou watched Eida emerge in Yomotsu Space after her evolution, and the system rated her SSS-rank with powerful shinjutsu. Eida accepted Xuandou’s advances, and he used a Conception Card on her, leaving her unconscious after their encounter.

• Xuandou entered Yomotsu Space and watched a silver vortex draw in chakra before Eida emerged from the mountain.
• The system identified Eida as an SSS-rank ninja with an Ōtsutsuki bloodline and the shinjutsu Clairvoyance, Omnipotence, and Omnipotence: All-Killing Ash Bones.
• Xuandou examined Eida’s evolved appearance and reflected on her strength and the potential of their future child.
• Eida thanked Xuandou for looking after Daemon and moved closer to him without resisting his advances.
• Xuandou crushed a Conception Card and used it on Eida during their encounter, after which Eida lost consciousness.

Xuandou claimed an SSS-rank Clan Treasure Chest and received the Immortal Artifact Minglin Boots, which greatly increased his speed and offered teleportation and other abilities. Eida became pregnant, and Xuandou then faced a quest choice involving the boots and the Dragon Vein.

• Xuandou claimed and opened the SSS-rank Clan Treasure Chest, obtaining the Immortal Artifact Minglin Boots.
• Xuandou examined the boots’ traits, equipped them, and tested their enhanced speed and short-range teleportation.
• The System notified Xuandou that Eida had become pregnant through the Conception Card.
• The System triggered the Immortal Artifact Upgrade side quest and offered Xuandou three choices involving the Minglin Boots and the Dragon Vein.

Xuandou weighed two system choices: transforming Rōran’s Dragon Vein into an eternal energy source or sacrificing it to obtain the Qiankun Armor blueprint. The armor’s exceptional defenses and power-gathering ability left him considering whether it could outweigh the energy source’s benefits.

• Xuandou wondered whether the Clan System could reward weapons beyond SSS-rank Immortal Artifacts, then examined its three choices.
• Xuandou dismissed the first choice because an A-rank ninjutsu would be of little use to him.
• Xuandou learned that sacrificing the Minglin Boots would turn the Dragon Vein into Eternal Infinite Energy that drew energy particles from the universe.
• Xuandou considered how Eternal Infinite Energy could power the Shinobi World’s development and provide the God Tree with abundant offerings, helping him prepare to face Shibai Ōtsutsuki.
• Xuandou examined the Qiankun Armor blueprint, which promised near-invincible defense, the power to gather others’ strength, and the ability to repair itself.

Xuandou chose to sacrifice the Dragon Vein to upgrade the Minglin Boots, prioritizing immediate strength against the threat of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. After Eida watched the Dragon Vein’s power merge with the World Origin Stone and the boots, they transformed into the Qilin Dragon Boots, which could repair themselves, teleport, and travel through spacetime.

• Xuandou chose the Qiankun Armor option, deciding that its Shinjutsu would give him and his allies strength to face the Ōtsutsuki Clan sooner than growing through God Tree Fruits.
• Xuandou retrieved the merged Dragon Vein from Yomotsu Space, where Eida appeared and asked what the beautiful purple energy was.
• Xuandou explained the Dragon Vein to Eida and let her admire and control it before feeding it to the Minglin Boots.
• The Minglin Boots became scarlet kirin and devoured the Dragon Vein while Xuandou watched.
• Xuandou tossed the World Origin Stone to the boots, and it fused with them and the Dragon Vein.
• The Minglin Boots transformed into the Qilin Dragon Boots, gaining powers that included self-repair, teleportation, enhanced speed, and travel through time.

Xuandou tested the upgraded Qilin Dragon Boots and realized that SSR-rank rewards existed, while Shibai Ōtsutsuki sensed trouble and questioned Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki about their mission. Shibai ordered them to find Isshiki and Kaguya and eliminate whichever had betrayed the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

• Xuandou tested the Qilin Dragon Boots, which gained greater speed, self-restoration, stored energy, and expanded teleportation abilities, but had not yet reached SSR-rank.
• Xuandou resolved to pursue god-level system rewards through higher family prosperity and his Tokitsumori space-time reversal dōjutsu.
• Shibai Ōtsutsuki used Clairvoyance to contact Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki as they traveled toward the Shinobi World to retrieve Isshiki and Kaguya’s God Tree Fruit.
• Shibai asked why he had never heard of Kaguya, and Urashiki explained that she had an inferior bloodline and had awakened no shinjutsu.
• Shibai warned that Isshiki had likely betrayed the Ōtsutsuki Clan, or that something had gone wrong with Kaguya, and ordered the team to find and eliminate the traitor.

Xuandou explained Shibai Ōtsutsuki’s origins and the Ōtsutsuki Clan’s threat to Eida, who questioned their lack of compassion. He brought Eida to Amado’s laboratory, where she reunited with Daemon, and Xuandou wondered how Daemon would react to becoming an uncle.

• After Shibai ended the sky screen, Momoshiki and two others sped up as they continued their search for the traitor among Isshiki and Kaguya.
• Xuandou told Eida that the true Shibai had become a god by consuming God Tree Fruits, while the Shibai remaining with the Ōtsutsuki Clan was a powerful remnant who could not be underestimated.
• Eida questioned why the Ōtsutsuki targeted living planets, and Xuandou explained that they treated life as nourishment and had no compassion for its inhabitants.
• Xuandou brought Eida to Amado’s laboratory at Azure Tide Port, where Amado asked for more research funding and Xuandou refused to approve it.
• Daemon rushed to embrace Eida, then protested when Delta, Aoya, and the researchers teased him; Xuandou wondered how he would react to becoming an uncle.

Xuandou hosted a grand banquet in Azure Tide Port to celebrate the twins and welcome Eida and Daemon, then advised Naruto and Sasuke on breaking their cycle of reincarnation. Meanwhile, Research Ninja Shukuse and two companions reached Nagato’s abandoned base, where one man declared his plan to reset the Shinobi World through pain.

• Xuandou brought guests from across the Shinobi World to Azure Tide Port for a banquet celebrating Shiroya and Baichen and welcoming Eida and Daemon.
• Ninja from different eras and villages gathered at the Imperial Palace, while residents celebrated throughout Azure Tide Port.
• Sasuke asked Xuandou how he and Naruto could break the thousand-year cycle of conflict between Indra’s and Asura’s chakra reincarnations.
• Xuandou told Naruto and Sasuke that they needed to understand each other and acknowledge each other’s paths to build a bond.
• Research Ninja Shukuse and two companions evaded their pursuers and entered Nagato’s abandoned underground base in the Land of Rain.
• The bandaged ninja at the base denounced Xuandou’s peace and vowed to reset the Shinobi World to zero so the world would feel pain again.

Xuandou began forging the Qiankun Armor with rare materials gathered from across the Shinobi World and Kara’s warehouses. Meanwhile, Urashiki warned Momoshiki and Kinshiki that a monster awaited them near the Shinobi World, but the squad continued toward it.

• Xuandou retrieved the Qiankun Armor Blueprint and began feeding it rare materials to forge the armor.
• Xuandou added a complete World Origin Stone to strengthen the Qiankun Armor’s potential.
• Urashiki stopped Momoshiki and Kinshiki from proceeding, warning that something dangerous lay ahead.
• Momoshiki questioned Urashiki, but Kinshiki insisted they carry out the mission despite the danger.
• Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki raced toward the Shinobi World.

Xuandou completed the Qiankun Armor and discovered that, despite its SSS quality, it possessed powerful traits that protected both body and soul. Reflecting on the Qilin Dragon Boots’ evolution, he resolved to seek a path to godhood beyond simply accumulating energy.

• Xuandou forged the Qiankun Armor from rare materials and a World Origin Stone, then summoned the completed black armor and examined its extraordinary craftsmanship.
• Xuandou found that the armor was SSS-rank, below the Half-SSR Qilin Dragon Boots, and realized their evolution likely came from resonating with the Dragon Vein rather than merely accumulating energy.
• Xuandou concluded that treasures, Ninjutsu, or Shinjutsu might provide another path to surpass Kaguya’s realm, and he vowed to reach the divine realm.
• Xuandou examined the Qiankun Armor’s traits: Peerless reduced damage and boosted attacks against multiple foes, Soul Armor safeguarded his spiritual essence, Undying allowed repairs, and Divine Armor gathered others’ strength into him.
• Xuandou welcomed the armor’s protection for his soul and future reincarnations, deciding its traits made the materials and World Origin Stone worthwhile.

Xuandou realized Uchiha Hikari had returned and decided to use Murotsu’s plans to recruit Nagato into Xuanyin and correct his beliefs. He showed Nagato evidence that Murotsu intended to start a war in his name, and Nagato angrily denied that this matched his goal of ending war.

• Anbu reports revealed that Murotsu and Shoujuse had gathered tools near the ruins of Uzushio Village and later vanished with a cool-faced Kunoichi, leading Xuandou to conclude that Uchiha Hikari had returned.
• Xuandou considered bringing Nagato into Xuanyin by using Murotsu to challenge the beliefs Nagato had formed after Yahiko’s sacrifice.
• Xuandou visited Nagato at Azure Tide Port Hospital and learned from the Medical Ninja that Nagato remained weak and needed continued recovery.
• Xuandou showed Nagato an image of Murotsu and explained that he planned to shatter the peace and reignite war in Nagato’s name.
• Nagato rejected Murotsu’s plan, insisting that his ideal was to make people fear war and end it, not start one.

Murotsu tried to recruit captured Rain ninja into the Zero Organization by preaching that war would prevent a future conflict, but they defended the peace Uchiha Xuantou had brought. As the captives prepared to fight, Uchiha Hikari used her dōjutsu on them, while Shoujuse became fixated on researching her powers.

• Murotsu preached to the captured ninja that the Zero Organization would destroy the shinobi world's systems and start a war to avert a greater one.
• The Rain ninja rejected Murotsu's ideas and praised Uchiha Xuantou for ending the suffering and shortages that war had brought to their country.
• A jōnin woman and the other captives challenged Murotsu for claiming to be a savior, and he accused them of being deceived by Uchiha Xuantou.
• The captives prepared to attack Murotsu, but Uchiha Hikari appeared and linked them with chakra strands through her dōjutsu.
• Murotsu ordered Uchiha Hikari, whom he called Nameless, to bring the captives onto Pain's path.
• Shoujuse ignored Murotsu and resolved to create a prosthetic eye incorporating Uchiha Hikari's dōjutsu.

Uchiha Hikari used her Mangekyō to alter the minds of captured Rain ninja, but Murotsu’s celebration ended when one of them slapped him and Uchiha Xuantou arrived with a powerful red-haired ally. Murotsu retreated under attack, while Shoujuse recognized Xuantou and Hikari remained unsure how the newcomers had entered the base.

• Uchiha Hikari used Yachihoko to make the captured ninja believe they had to start a massive war and reset the world.
• Murotsu celebrated recruiting the ninja and vowed to overthrow Uchiha Xuantou’s rule.

• Xuandou reassured the Bearded Chunin, who had broken cover to strike Murotsu after hearing him threaten war.
• Shoujuse recognized Xuandou, urged Uchiha Hikari to flee, and then tried to escape through the underground base’s passage.
• Uchiha Hikari refused to flee and charged Xuandou with a heavy kunai-shaped great shuriken.
• The system identified Uchiha Hikari as a Kage-level Sharingan wielder with an S-S-rank rating.
• Xuandou blocked Uchiha Hikari’s strikes with his bare left hand while the assembled ninja watched, unable to join the battle.

Nagato fought Murotsu after rejecting his path of spreading pain, while Xuandou rewound time to prevent Murotsu’s attack from overwhelming the underground base. Xuandou defeated Uchiha Hikari, healed her damaged spirit, and Nagato brought the bound Murotsu to him.

• Murotsu accused Nagato of failing to understand his suffering and unleashed a massive Earth Release attack, but Xuandou rewound time by one minute.
