Chapter Summaries

After Eida recovered, Xuandou took Divine Marrow in the Imperial Palace’s secret chamber to prepare his body for a campaign against the Ōtsutsuki Clan. The substance triggered an agonizing transformation, and he endured it by practicing punches and kicks as his body grew hot and disappeared into mist.

• Tsunade confirmed that Eida and her child had recovered from malnutrition, and Xuandou later entered the Imperial Palace’s secret chamber.
• Xuandou resolved to take the fight to the Ōtsutsuki Clan Grounds instead of letting the Ōtsutsuki choose the Shinobi World as their battlefield.
• Xuandou swallowed the Divine Marrow, which first brought him a soothing warmth before causing intense pain throughout his body.
• Xuandou endured the agony by practicing simple punches and kicks as his skin reddened, the chamber heated up, and mist concealed him.

Shibai Ōtsutsuki confronted Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki over their stalled mission and the lack of a report to the Main Family. Urashiki presented a suspicious location from Isshiki’s information, and Momoshiki asked Shibai to investigate it with Clairvoyance Shinjutsu.

• Momoshiki and Urashiki argued over whether to follow Isshiki’s information, with Urashiki accusing the others of heading in the wrong direction.
• Urashiki tried to leave the team, but Shibai appeared as a projected image and asked whether they had found Isshiki and Kaguya.
• Momoshiki admitted they had lost track of both targets and could not locate the planet Isshiki had reported.
• Shibai rebuked the team for wasting time without contacting the Main Family, and Momoshiki explained that he had saved their single means of contacting the clan.
• Urashiki showed Shibai a region that seemed to match Isshiki’s information but contained no detectable Life Planet.
• Momoshiki asked Shibai to use Clairvoyance Shinjutsu to investigate the location.

Shibai Ōtsutsuki used Clairvoyance to uncover the concealed Shinobi World and sent the sun hurtling toward it with Tengai Shinsei. As the planet and Pure Land began to burn and collapse, ninja fought desperately to slow the disaster, but the Shinobi World’s water ran dry.

• Momoshiki accepted responsibility for Urashiki’s lead and promised that all three Ōtsutsuki would serve Shibai if it proved false.
• Shibai repeatedly searched the star region, then reversed space-time with Clairvoyance and discovered the hidden Shinobi World.
• Shibai used Tengai Shinsei to pull the sun toward the Shinobi World, causing catastrophic heat, floods, droughts, and widespread deaths.
• The falling sun’s heat reached the Pure Land, dissolving billions of souls and leaving the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura struggling.
• Hundreds of thousands of ninja unleashed water techniques to protect the world, but the water sources dried up, leaving only Tobirama Senju able to use Water Release.

Xuandou emerged from his evolution to find the Shinobi World under attack by Shibai Ōtsutsuki, who tried to destroy it with the sun and his own power. Xuandou shielded the planet, then hid it in another dimension, leaving himself half a year to find a solution while Shibai repeatedly failed to perceive it.

• Xuandou used Tokitsumori to reverse time and identified Shibai Ōtsutsuki as the likely attacker behind the sun's descent toward the Shinobi World.
• Xuandou's evolved Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan formed endlessly stackable Yae-gaki armor around the planet, which resisted Shibai's enormous white hand.
• Xuandou struck Shibai's hand with his Yellow Susanoo, drawing blood and surprising Shibai.
• Shibai hurled the Shinobi World toward the sun, so Xuandou reversed time again and moved the planet into another dimension using Divine Concealment.
• Shibai's Divine Concealment caused him to overlook the hidden Shinobi World, though Xuandou could maintain its concealment for only half a year.

Xuandou realized he could not eliminate the Ōtsutsuki Clan within Shinjutsu: Divine Concealment’s six-month window and feared the Shinobi World would be destroyed without a broader solution. On a barren planet, Urashiki proposed that his squad grow a God Tree and bring a fruit back to the Ōtsutsuki Main Family.

• Xuandou assessed Shibai Ōtsutsuki’s devastating attack and concluded that he could not defeat every Ōtsutsuki within six months.
• Xuandou worried that the Shinobi World remained vulnerable as long as even one Ōtsutsuki survived, and resolved to find another way to protect it.
• Urashiki told Kinshiki and Momoshiki that their squad should leave its barren planet and complete its mission by bringing a God Tree Fruit to the main family.
• Momoshiki questioned how they could produce a God Tree Fruit without a God Tree, and Urashiki revealed that he had a Ten-Tails Sapling and could plant one by sacrificing a clan member.

Xuandou explained why natural energy cultivation suited ordinary people better than chakra and planned to open the Uchiha Library Pavilion to strengthen the Shinobi World before the Ōtsutsuki crisis. After showing Mitianxia the threat, he heard his son declare that Xuanyin would one day conquer the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

• People across the Shinobi World embraced natural energy cultivation, and ordinary people began making rapid progress with the method.
• Xuandou concluded that chakra cultivation was poorly suited to ordinary humans, while systematic natural energy training offered them greater prospects.
• Xuandou planned to open the Uchiha Library Pavilion to everyone so the Shinobi World could prepare for the crisis expected in half a year.
• Xuandou showed Mitianxia the Ōtsutsuki Clan's origins and its conflict with the Shinobi World through genjutsu.
• Mitianxia asked whether Xuanyin could defeat the Ōtsutsuki Clan, and Xuandou laughed and said they would one day conquer it.

After Xuandou’s Divine Marrow completed a profound transformation of his body, he discovered a hidden Ten-Tails Sapling in Isshiki’s pocket dimension. He reshaped it into Nyanko-Teacher’s form and brought it to life, leaving Xuanyin with a second Ten-Tails.

• Xuandou fell asleep after consuming the Divine Marrow, and over fifteen days his body transformed, developing golden blood and an aura that resonated with the world.
• Xuandou sensed that the transformation had begun a leap beyond his perfected Ōtsutsuki bloodline and that his children could inherit his shinjutsu.
• Xuandou used the Flying Thunder God Technique to reach Isshiki’s pocket dimension and pulled a doll-sized Ten-Tails from a hidden spatial crevice.
• Xuandou recognized the creature as a young Ten-Tails Sapling, chose not to sacrifice it, and decided it could provide Xuanyin with another Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
• Xuandou reshaped the Ten-Tails into Nyanko-Teacher’s form, infused it with Yin-Yang Release, and brought it to life.

Xuandou returned to the Imperial Palace with a Ten-Tails Sapling shaped like a Maneki-neko and gave it to Hiiragi to raise after setting rules. As Hiiragi and the sapling began their new life together, Xuandou remained intent on preparing to confront the Ōtsutsuki Main Family.

• Xuandou returned to the Imperial Palace, where Hiiragi eagerly welcomed him and hinted that she sensed something drawing her in.
• Xuandou showed Hiiragi the newly created Maneki-neko Ten-Tails Sapling, and she immediately became enchanted by it.
• Yugito Nii recognized the Maneki-neko as a Tailed Beast, and Xuandou explained that it could grow up alongside Hiiragi.
• Xuandou and Yugito Nii negotiated terms with Hiiragi, who signed them and gained permission to raise the Ten-Tails Sapling.
• That night, Yugito Nii dressed as a cat and teased Xuandou.

Xuandou weighed whether to use his final lottery draw now or wait until the Uchiha Clan reached S-S-rank, then decided to seek Hagoromo and Hamura's help raising the clan's prosperity. After summoning the brothers in the Pure Land, he invited them to become Uchiha Clan Elders.

• Xuandou considered the low odds of rare lottery rewards and decided to pursue the S-S-rank family quest before using his remaining draw.
• Xuandou planned to recruit Hagoromo and Hamura, whose connection to the Uchiha bloodline might raise Family Prosperity.
• Xuandou traveled to the Pure Land and summoned the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura with a Truth-Seeking Orb.
• The Sage of Six Paths asked Xuandou whether Kaguya had been sealed, and Xuandou falsely said he had not found her.
• Xuandou asked Hagoromo and Hamura to become Clan Elders of the Uchiha Clan.

Xuandou asked Hagoromo and Hamura to become Uchiha Clan Elders, arguing that the roles would let them approach Princess Kaguya without arousing suspicion. Hagoromo accepted, while Hamura remained reluctant and both sensed Xuandou was drawing them into something bigger.

• Hagoromo agreed to Xuandou's request, but said Hamura could not join the Uchiha Clan as an Elder.
• Xuandou argued that both brothers were connected to the Uchiha by blood and said the roles would help them approach Princess Kaguya.
• Xuandou revealed that Kaguya seemed to have lived with the Uchiha, using that information to persuade the brothers to cooperate.
• Hamura questioned whether joining the Uchiha was truly necessary, still troubled by Xuandou's recent attack and his own recovery.
• Hagoromo and Hamura both felt that Xuandou was leading them toward a major undertaking, though they did not know what it was.

Xuandou killed Hamura and the Sage of Six Paths in the Pure Land, then reversed time before Hamura attacked. The brothers returned to the moment before the fight, stunned by Xuandou's strength as he pressed them to join the Uchiha Clan.

• Xuandou accused Hagoromo and Hamura of putting their own interests above the Shinobi World's future, and Hamura attacked him in anger.
• Xuandou killed Hamura with one punch, and the Sage of Six Paths attacked him with Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei.
• Xuandou broke free of the sealing technique and killed the Sage of Six Paths with a single punch.
• Xuandou used Tokitsumori to reverse time by one minute, restoring Hagoromo and Hamura before Hamura's attack.
• Xuandou told the brothers that he had saved them from their sudden attack, and they realized how easily he had defeated them.

Hamura apologized to Xuandou after losing their clash, and Xuandou appointed him and Hagoromo as Uchiha clan elders. A system quest then tasked Xuandou with bringing Indra and Asura under his command, rewarding him with an Identity Card.

• Hagoromo explained that he and Hamura had regained their senses, and Hamura apologized to Xuandou and agreed to follow his arrangements.
• Hamura reconsidered his own complacency after Xuandou defeated him, while Xuandou reflected that Hamura’s attacks deserved a harsher response.
• Xuandou gave Hagoromo and Hamura jade tokens appointing them the Uchiha’s third and fourth elders.
• The system issued Xuandou the side quest “A family,” requiring him to bring Indra and Asura under his command for an Identity Card.
• Xuandou considered how the Identity Card might help him at the Ōtsutsuki Clan Grounds.

Xuandou used an Identity Card to change how the Ōtsutsuki would perceive him, then approached Urashiki, Momoshiki, and Kinshiki. Momoshiki recognized him as the Ōtsutsuki Clan Head, leaving Xuandou face-to-face with the three.

• Urashiki demanded that the group decide which of them would be sacrificed to the Ten-Tails Sapling before he revealed the way to the Life Planet.
• Momoshiki refused to discuss the sacrifice yet, while Kinshiki fell asleep and Urashiki withheld his information.
• Xuandou used the Identity Card to replace his identity, after Indra and Asura had joined the Uchiha as the Fifth and Sixth Elders.
• Xuandou ended his concealment and flew toward the three Ōtsutsuki.
• Momoshiki recognized Xuandou as the Ōtsutsuki Clan Head and asked why he had come.
