Chapter Summaries

The major ninja villages reacted to the Uchiha’s growing power as Ōnoki berated Kitsuchi, A fought with Killer B, and Obito ordered the Bloody Mist Village plan to begin. The chapter then shifted to Tsunade gambling away her and Shizune’s last money in the Land of Fire.

• Ōnoki cursed Kitsuchi and complained that the villages could not handle the Uchiha alone.
• Killer B provoked A with his rapping, and the two fought after jumping out of the Raikage’s Office window.
• Obito read reports about the Uchiha, told Karatachi Yagura to begin the Bloody Mist Village plan, and declared that Kirigakure would come first.
• Tsunade pulled the lodging money from Shizune and bet it all on three sixes at a gambling table.

Tsunade won a huge triple-six bet, but the casino boss tried to avoid paying her and Shizune. Jiraiya arrived to bring Tsunade back to Konoha, while Tsunade and Shizune took most of the casino’s money and left the boss’s people too frightened to stop them.

• Tsunade won her triple-six bet, and Shizune celebrated while demanding their winnings from the casino dealer.
• The dealer fled, so Shizune quieted the crowd and demanded payment from the casino boss, who claimed he could not pay them immediately.
• Shizune threatened to use ninjutsu, and Tsunade joined her in intimidating the boss and his underlings.
• Jiraiya arrived with Konoha ninja and told Tsunade that Konoha needed her, but she ignored him and went with Shizune to the casino’s accounts office.
• Tsunade and Shizune took about ninety percent of the casino’s money while its boss and underlings stood by in fear.

Tsunade agreed to return to Konoha on the condition that she become Hokage, and Hiruzen Sarutobi accepted. She returned with Jiraiya and Shizune, but an unexpected person appeared as they entered the village.

• Tsunade and Shizune left the casino with their winnings while Jiraiya asked Tsunade what it would take for her to return to Konoha.
• Tsunade demanded to become Hokage as her sole condition, and Jiraiya agreed to relay it to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
• After winning at gambling, Tsunade feared that another person she cared about would die, and Jiraiya later told her Hiruzen Sarutobi had agreed to her demand.
• Tsunade, Shizune, and Jiraiya set out for Konoha the next morning, and Jiraiya reassured Tsunade that she could be a good Hokage.
• As the three entered Konoha, an unexpected person appeared by the roadside, making Jiraiya tense and guarded.

Seiichi unexpectedly met Tsunade and Jiraiya, then oversaw the Uchiha’s new injections and learned that Uchiha Setsuna had found an old record revealing a forgotten clan secret. The chapter ended just as Setsuna began to name an Uchiha who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

• Seiichi greeted Tsunade and Jiraiya, expressed hope that the Senju and Uchiha could work together, and watched them leave.
• Seiichi oversaw the Uchiha’s Key injections and improved their nutrient solution into large intravenous drips.
• Uchiha Setsuna arrived at the Laboratory and secured the tearoom before telling Seiichi he had found an important secret in the Hokage Faction’s records.
• Setsuna explained that an old scroll bearing the Senju Clan Crest recorded an Uchiha who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, then began to reveal the person’s name.

Seiichi learned that Nameless had been sealed in a valley by a lost jutsu that froze space and time, then rushed to the recorded location to rescue him. He found a towering mountain on an otherwise flat plain, suspected it was a signpost, and began hacking at it with Susanoo before stopping to reconsider.

• Shana told Seiichi that Nameless had been sealed by Senju and Uzumaki experts, and that the jutsu had frozen his body and consciousness in time.
• Shana gave Seiichi the likely location of the sealing site in the southeastern Land of Fire, near the Land of Bears.
• Seiichi instantly traveled to the site and found a towering mountain standing alone on a vast plain.
• Seiichi summoned Susanoo and suspected the mountain was a signpost for the seal.
• Seiichi attacked the mountain with Shusui Parting Clouds, then stopped after carving it full of holes and feeling foolish.

Seiichi excavated through a mountain and discovered an enormous chamber containing a powerful composite sealing formation. He recognized that it held an Uchiha with the Mangekyō Sharingan and decided the rare formation was too valuable to destroy casually.

• Seiichi used Wind Release: Great Breakthrough to clear the dust after reducing the mountain with Susanoo.
• Seiichi scaled Susanoo down, excavated a cave with Shusui Parting Clouds, and entered wearing his mini Susanoo armor.
• Seiichi kept digging through the mountain until he broke into a hidden stone chamber.
• Seiichi examined the chamber’s seals, nine pillars, and golden chains, identifying the chains as Adamantine Sealing Chains.
• Seiichi concluded that fourteen sealing jutsu were holding an Uchiha with the Mangekyō Sharingan and chose to preserve the formation for study.

Seiichi memorized the compound sealing array, then used Shusui Parting Clouds to destroy its central pillar and rescue the person trapped inside. The rescued Uchiha woman attacked him with Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, leaving Seiichi pinned in a dark chamber as he tried to break the illusion.

• Seiichi used his Mangekyō Sharingan to reproduce the sealing array in his mind and found that his ordinary ninjutsu could not affect it.
• Seiichi stabbed the central stone pillar with Shusui Parting Clouds, causing the space to collapse, and teleported himself and the trapped person away from the mountain.
• The mountain vanished into a vast pit, and the rescued Uchiha woman attacked Seiichi with Amaterasu.
• Seiichi discovered that the woman was Uchiha Hikari, but he did not recognize her before she trapped him with Tsukuyomi.
• Seiichi found himself pinned to a wall in a dark chamber and shouted for the illusion to break.

Seiichi defeated Uchiha Nanashi, then learned that she had been abused as a weapon by the Uchiha and sealed away centuries ago. After she revealed her real name, Uchiha Hikari, he told her that the Senju and Uzumaki clans had nearly disappeared, leaving her stunned by how much time had passed.

• Seiichi broke Uchiha Nanashi’s genjutsu, survived her attack, and knocked her down when she continued fighting him.
• Seiichi questioned Nanashi about her hatred of the Uchiha and gave her healing pills so she could explain her past.
• Nanashi told Seiichi that the Uchiha had raised her as a weapon because of her Yachihoko ocular technique and had named her Uchiha Nanashi.
• Nanashi revealed that her real name was Uchiha Hikari, and Seiichi told her he had to leave because he expected pursuers.
• Seiichi told Hikari that the Senju and Uzumaki clans had been nearly wiped out and that several hundred years had passed since her era.

Seiichi brought Hikari back to the Uchiha Clan and promised she would no longer be forced to fight. In the clan’s medical room, Mikoto used her Mangekyō Sharingan to treat Hikari, expelling negative factors, old injuries, and recent wounds as colored gases before the chapter ended with Seiichi checking her condition.

• Hikari learned that the Senju, Uzumaki, and Uchiha she had known belonged to a distant past, leaving her uncertain about her place in the changed world.
• Seiichi promised Hikari she could live freely and would never be coerced into fighting, and Hikari agreed to return with him to the Uchiha Clan.
• Seiichi carried Hikari to the Uchiha Clan Compound and found Mikoto treating an injured clan member in the Medical Room.
• Mikoto examined Hikari's severe injuries and used her Mangekyō Sharingan ability to cover her with a Light Shield.
• Black, gray, and red gases emerged from Hikari as Mikoto's treatment removed negative factors, old injuries, and recent wounds.
• After the gases disappeared, Mikoto ended the treatment, and Seiichi stepped forward to check Hikari's condition.

Seiichi brought Hikari to his Laboratory after Mikoto healed her, and Hikari discovered that she had nowhere to return to. She met Shisui and Itachi, and they invited her to stay with them, though she had not yet decided what to do.

• Mikoto healed Hikari, and Seiichi carried her to the Laboratory so she could rest.
• Hikari woke feeling healthier, learned why Seiichi had founded the Laboratory, and admitted she had no home to return to.
• Itachi arrived with Shisui, and Seiichi introduced Hikari as a fellow Uchiha who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Shisui asked how Hikari had awakened her Mangekyō, but she declined to discuss her painful memories.
• Itachi invited Hikari to stay at his house, and Seiichi joined in persuading her to remain with them.

Seiichi welcomed Hikari into the Uchiha household, and the two grew closer as she settled into life with him, Shisui, and Itachi. He then attended Tsunade’s inauguration as the Fourth Hokage and was invited to speak with her afterward.

• Seiichi urged Hikari to stay with the Uchiha, and she agreed before sharing a meal with him, Shisui, and Itachi.
• Hikari trained with Shisui and Itachi and spent her days walking and eating with Seiichi as she adjusted to her new life.
• Fugaku told Seiichi that Tsunade would be inaugurated as the Fourth Hokage the next day, and Seiichi decided to attend.
• Seiichi brought Hikari, Shisui, and Itachi to Tsunade’s inauguration, where she accepted the Hokage hat and addressed the villagers.
• After the ceremony, Minato invited Seiichi to meet with Tsunade, and Seiichi asked whether he would serve as her close guard or aide.

Seiichi negotiated Uchiha support for Tsunade’s investigation of Danzo in exchange for autonomy over a new territory, then joined Kakashi and several Anbu at Root’s former headquarters. The group arrived at the site, and Kakashi asked Seiichi how they should enter.

• Tsunade asked the Uchiha Clan to provide high-level combat support, and Seiichi negotiated a preliminary agreement granting them an exclusive territory near the village.
• Seiichi agreed to protect the investigators probing Danzo and asked how far he could go; Tsunade said he could kill Danzo only with evidence and had to bring him back alive.
• The Uchiha elders negotiated with the Hokage’s subordinates and secured five square kilometers of forest southeast of Konoha.
• Four days after Tsunade’s inauguration, Seiichi met Kakashi and several Anbu, who told him they were heading to Root’s former headquarters.
• Kakashi explained that Danzo had restarted Root with members of the Shimura Clan, and the group reached the headquarters as Kakashi asked Seiichi how to enter.

Seiichi helped Kakashi and the Anbu infiltrate Danzo’s underground laboratory, where Kakashi uncovered evidence tied to Senju Nawaki’s organs and was exposed after taking a scroll. Seiichi kept the scroll while Kakashi fought off Danzo’s forces, leaving Kakashi trapped under a barrage of attacks.

• Seiichi cast the Ordinary Villager genjutsu on himself, Kakashi, and the other Anbu, then sent clones after the team when they split up.
• Kakashi found Danzo’s human experimentation laboratory, photographed its evidence, and took experiment logs.
• Kakashi triggered an alarm when he touched a scroll labeled “Senju Nawaki,” and Danzo ordered his ninja to search for it.
• Danzo’s men exposed Kakashi when he used the Body Flicker Technique, while Seiichi took the scroll and read its records about Nawaki’s organs and Hashirama cell experiments.
• Danzo attacked Kakashi with Wind Release techniques, and Kakashi fled the destruction of an earthen wall as the assault continued.

Seiichi used Susanoo to destroy Root, taunted Danzo, and apparently killed him before Hiruzen and Tsunade arrived. He then restored Danzo, immobilized him and Hiruzen, and prepared to demonstrate how Danzo had come back to life.

• Seiichi summoned Susanoo and demolished Root while slapping away the people who tried to approach.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived and attacked Susanoo, but Tsunade stopped the surrounding shinobi from joining in.
• Seiichi challenged Hiruzen’s authority and slapped Danzo back toward the group after Danzo tried to sneak away.
• Hiruzen embraced Danzo after seeing him alive, while the onlookers and Uchiha were stunned.
• Seiichi immobilized Hiruzen and Danzo, picked up a kunai, and made two quick slashes at Danzo to explain his return.

Seiichi exposed Danzo’s stolen Sharingan and use of Izanagi, then tried to take the eyes back despite Tsunade’s order to wait for an investigation. Danzo revealed his Wood Release, but Seiichi’s chakra Tengu Armor blocked it, leaving Danzo pleading for his life and Hiruzen tempted by his claims about Konoha’s future.

• Seiichi showed the gathered ninja the Sharingan embedded in Danzo’s right arm and accused him of stealing Uchiha techniques and using Izanagi.
• Seiichi charged at Danzo, but Tsunade intervened and promised to investigate before ordering everyone to remain calm.
• Seiichi accepted Tsunade’s decision but insisted on taking back Danzo’s Sharingan, while Danzo protested and Hiruzen Sarutobi tried to intervene.
• Danzo used Wood Release: Cutting Sprigs against Seiichi, but Seiichi’s chakra Tengu Armor blocked the branches.
• Danzo begged Hiruzen Sarutobi for help and claimed his Hashirama cells and Wood Release could help Konoha, exciting Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Seiichi took one of Danzo’s Sharingan and prepared to finish confronting him, but Hiruzen Sarutobi intervened and argued that Danzo should be spared. The chapter left Seiichi furious at Hiruzen’s defense of Danzo, while Tsunade challenged Hiruzen’s disregard for the Uchiha Clan’s rights.

• Seiichi tore out Danzo’s right Sharingan and handed it to a fellow Uchiha for safekeeping.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped in and proposed confining Danzo to the Shimura Clan’s grounds for the rest of his life.

Seiichi confronted Hiruzen Sarutobi over Danzo’s theft of the Uchiha Sharingan and the village’s past persecution of the Uchiha. He vowed to repay the Sarutobi and Shimura clans in kind, then stopped Danzo from reaching Tsunade after she saw blood and weakened.

• Seiichi challenged Hiruzen Sarutobi to name Danzo’s contributions, and Hiruzen could only claim that Danzo had worked diligently.
• Seiichi argued that the Uchiha Clan had no duty to reward Danzo and mocked his history of scheming against the Uchiha, drawing cheers from the clan members.

• Hiruzen appealed to Tsunade, who hesitated over the public confrontation as Seiichi threw her a scroll.
• Danzo lunged toward Tsunade with blood-covered hands, causing her to weaken from her blood phobia, but Shizune caught her and Seiichi kicked Danzo away.

Seiichi removed Danzo’s remaining Sharingan, causing Hashirama cells to transform him into a giant tree, then forced Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Sarutobi Clan to retreat. Back at the Uchiha clan grounds, Seiichi began studying an ancient technique that could strengthen ninjutsu with natural energy.

• Seiichi gouged out Danzo’s remaining Sharingan, and Danzo transformed into a towering tree as the Hashirama cells overtook him.
• Seiichi slapped Hiruzen Sarutobi away and warned that he would fight the Sarutobi Clan if they wanted war.

• Seiichi searched the Uchiha clan’s forbidden texts and found an incomplete technique that infused ninjutsu with captured natural energy.

Seiichi focused on training and strengthening the Uchiha Clan as its leaders gained powerful new abilities, while Kakashi lost his left eye in a mysterious attack that Seiichi suspected was Obito’s work. With Mikoto and Kushina nearing their due dates, Seiichi ordered Shisui to maintain security and remained watchful as the chapter ended with mention of a newly established division.

• Seiichi devoted himself to training and ninjutsu, while he expanded practical combat training and resources for the Uchiha Clan’s younger members.

• Seiichi noted that he had established another division during this period.
