Chapter Summaries

Genos then reported that the Neo Organization had exposed the Hero Association’s corruption, including a gambling scheme that left Light Bicycle Warrior paralyzed.

• Armored Gorilla stopped Fubuki’s Black Hole Class gravity training when the strain threatened to make her unconscious and the facility’s energy supply proved limited.
• Meikyō reviewed his Kekkei Genkai collection and planned to obtain Storm Release, Crystal Release, Magnet Release, Steel Release, Dark Release, and other abilities.

• Genos reported that Light Bicycle Warrior had been left paralyzed four days earlier after fighting the Chihuahua Wolf Rat, a Tiger-level monster misclassified as Wolf-level.

Genos, Saitama, and Meikyō learned that corruption had spread through both the Hero Association and NEO, while Child Emperor urged them to help expose the threats behind each organization. Child Emperor and Metal Bat stayed undercover in NEO as Genos agreed to work with Sitch and Tatsumaki; Saitama remained focused on keeping his salary.

• Genos showed Meikyō and Saitama evidence that Child Emperor and Sitch had been secretly opposing corrupt Hero Association executives, including those responsible for Light Bicycle Warrior's injury.
• Meikyō told Genos to choose his own path and reassured him that he and Saitama would support him unless he went too far.

• Child Emperor said he and Metal Bat would remain in NEO, while Genos would work with Sitch and Tatsumaki to clean up the Hero Association.
• Saitama complained that he had considered quitting the Hero Association but wanted to keep his A-rank salary.

Meikyō agreed to help Child Emperor repair the Light Bicycle Warrior, while Tatsumaki and Sitch confronted corrupt Hero Association executives and offered to strip them of their authority. Sitch revealed that he knew which executives were implicated in wrongdoing and planning to defect to the NEO Association.

• Meikyō explained how powerful elites had shaped the Hero Association and predicted that Arnieg would rebuild it on a stronger foundation.
• Child Emperor asked Meikyō to untangle the Light Bicycle Warrior’s damaged nerves so he could receive prosthetic limbs, and Meikyō agreed to perform the treatment.

• Sitch presented the executives with contracts revoking their positions and authority while allowing them to keep dividends from profitable association projects.
• When One-Eyed Dragon warned that the association could not operate without its managers, Sitch said he knew which executives had committed misconduct and which were preparing to defect to the NEO Association.

Sitch exposed evidence of corruption among Hero Association officials and faced their threats, while Tatsumaki and Genos stood ready to protect him. Afterward, Meikyō and Fubuki received lavish gifts from tycoon Zenil, whose approach they recognized as an attempt to draw them into the association conflict.

• Sitch gave the officials five minutes to sign his proposed agreement, but they refused and formed an alliance to impeach him.
• Sitch presented evidence of serious crimes by sixteen officials, and One-Eyed Dragon threatened to unleash monsters hidden beneath the association headquarters.
• Tatsumaki took One-Eyed Dragon’s remote and confronted the monsters underground, while Genos arrived to back up Sitch against the officials.
• Meikyō and Fubuki received gold and a jewelry store offer from Zenil’s representatives, then realized the gifts were meant to recruit them against Tatsumaki and Sitch.
• Meikyō decided to accept the gifts without agreeing to help Zenil and to continue with his own plans.

Meikyō mastered Blaze Release and tested its power on an uninhabited island before Sitch summoned him to E-City, where Zenil and Zengel had created a psychic New Clone Orochi. Meikyō arrived as Tatsumaki fought the monster and watched the battle while Genos recovered nearby.

• Meikyō developed Blaze Release, shaped its azure flames into several forms, and recorded its properties after testing it against a Wood Golem Buddha.
• Meikyō received Sitch's call that Zenil had joined forces with Zengel and a Psychic Power organization to create a New Clone Orochi in E-City.
• Meikyō used a Flying Thunder God marker to teleport to the battle and found Genos badly damaged while Tatsumaki held off the monster.
• Meikyō set Genos down and told Tatsumaki to handle the fight alone as he watched the enemy.
• Zenil, controlling Zengel and the New Clone Orochi from a cockpit, taunted Meikyō and assumed he had come to surrender.

Uchiha Meikyō and Tatsumaki fought Zenil’s Zen-Orochi, whose unusual resilience and psychic barrier prolonged the battle. Meikyō’s spatially accelerated Amaterasu slash badly wounded it, but Zenil prepared another trump card beneath the battlefield as Tatsumaki sensed something buried underground.

• Tatsumaki struggled against Zen-Orochi while Meikyō watched, then joined the fight with his Senju Great Buddha and Susanoo.
• Meikyō and Tatsumaki attacked Zen-Orochi with flame, elemental, and psychic techniques, but its Dragon Snakes repaired the damage and Zenil remained confident.
• Genos urged Sitch to summon heroes, evacuate civilians, and contact the NEO Organization, while Saitama and King missed their vibrating communicators as they played a game.
• Meikyō enlarged Perfect Susanoo and used Void Flame Gravity Slash to cut Zen-Orochi, then attacked alongside Tatsumaki until Zenil raised a black psychic barrier.
• Tatsumaki identified Zen-Orochi’s psychic power as a fusion of psychic energy and resentment, and then sensed something extremely hard and firmly fixed beneath the ground.

Zenil sacrificed Orochi’s body to become the gigantic Centipede Sage, a monster empowered by God, and confronted Meikyō and Tatsumaki. As heroes from the Hero Association and NEO Organization gathered to fight, Meikyō discovered Centipede Sage had several powerful abilities, including future prediction.

• Meikyō used Destiny Reading to glimpse the future, then teleported Tatsumaki away from the mass of flesh forming underground.
• Zenil emerged as a colossal centipede, introduced himself as Centipede Sage, and claimed God had granted him a superior body and power.
• Garou arrived, followed by S-rank heroes and NEO Organization cadres, and several fighters charged into battle against him.
• Overlord Emperor began installing new equipment on Genos while Fubuki joined Meikyō and Tatsumaki to help restrain Centipede Sage.
• Meikyō found that Centipede Sage had Orochi’s attacks, freezing rays that slowed time, and an ability resembling future prediction.

Meikyō, Tatsumaki, and Fubuki struggled to hold off Centipede Sage while the heroes fought Garou. Metal Bat unleashed a beyond-Dragon-level attack, leaving the battle at a new turning point.

• Meikyō used Amaterasu, Water World, and Shinra Tensei to evade Centipede Sage and protect Tatsumaki and Fubuki as they tried to stall for time.
• Garou overwhelmed the heroes, while Atomic Samurai, Metal Bat, and Lightning continued fighting despite their injuries.
• Genos equipped Zombie Man with a powerful Incineration Cannon, and Zombie Man used it to create an opening for Atomic Samurai's final slash, which wounded Garou.
• Genos unleashed his True Spiral Incineration Cannon and helped bind Garou briefly, but Garou broke free and smashed the cannon apart.
• Metal Bat's fighting spirit surged beyond Dragon-level, and he struck Garou with Aura: Savage Demon Assault, drawing Meikyō and Centipede Sage's attention.

Garou overwhelmed the heroes and joined Meikyō and Tatsumaki in battling Centipede Sage, while Metal Bat’s full fighting spirit created an opening that exposed the monster’s regeneration core. As the heroes struggled to survive, King and Saitama learned of the disaster and departed for E-City, while Garou continued attacking both the monster and the remaining heroes.

• Garou defeated Genos, Bang, Bangp, Zombie Man, Lightning, and Overlord Emperor, but Metal Bat rose from the crater and struck him with Righteousness of the Great Spiral.
• The clash between Metal Bat and Garou damaged Centipede Sage, allowing Meikyō and Tatsumaki to attack it; Meikyō identified a regeneration core inside its body.
• Metal Bat collapsed from his injuries, and the surviving heroes sheltered behind a wall as Genos said Saitama and King would arrive soon.
• King and Saitama learned that E-City was nearly destroyed and the heroes there were close to being wiped out, then boarded a helicopter piloted by the Mustachioed Executive.
• Garou attacked Centipede Sage and Meikyō while declaring that heroes and monsters alike were his prey, leaving the three-way battle raging.

Demon Garou emerged stronger and battled Meikyō and Centipede Sage, who was ultimately destroyed in their combined assault. Garou continued adapting and overpowering Meikyō, while reinforcements were expected as the heroes faced the escalating threat.

• Garou transformed into Demon Garou, and Meikyō sent a Wood Clone away to observe how Garou was breaking his limiter.
• Centipede Sage shed its outer armor and attacked Garou, while Meikyō realized its precognition could target only one opponent at a time.
• Meikyō used Sun Breathing: Total Concentration: Void Flame Annihilation Slash as Garou tore through Centipede Sage, and they destroyed its core in a final clash.
• Fubuki caught the exhausted Tatsumaki, while Garou shed his damaged shell and pressed Meikyō into a disadvantage by copying his abilities.
• Overlord Emperor asked for reinforcements, and Genos announced that someone stronger than Blast was arriving by helicopter.

Meikyō warned Saitama that Garou could keep evolving, so Saitama struck with full force before Garou could grow stronger. Garou survived after rejecting God’s offered power and reverting to human form, and Saitama chose to let him live and make amends through service.

• Saitama and King-san jumped from the helicopter, and Overlord Emperor called for urgent treatment for the wounded heroes.
• Meikyō’s Wood Clone warned Saitama that Garou could continually evolve and urged him to fight at full strength from the start.
• Garou attacked Meikyō with spatial techniques, but Saitama arrived and trapped Garou’s escape with a Serious Punch.
• Garou refused God’s offer of power, then clashed with Saitama’s punch and lost his monstrous form before Saitama knocked him unconscious.
• Blast explained that Garou had returned to being human, and Silver Fang and Blast stopped Sweet Mask from killing him.
• Saitama decided that Garou should live and make up for his crimes through service.

After the heroes agreed that Blast would take Garou away for training, the Hero Association struggled to recover its reputation after the disaster. Sweet Mask proposed a promotional movie starring Meikyō and Tatsumaki, leaving Saitama eager to join the production.

• Meikyō agreed that Blast could take Garou and train him, while he and Saitama offered to help when needed.
• Blast carried Garou through a Teleportation Circle, and the heroes accepted the plan despite Atomic Samurai's objections.
• The Hero Association's reputation continued to decline as NEO Organization drew in heroes, members, and powerful allies while helping with disaster relief.
• Sweet Mask invited Meikyō, Tatsumaki, and Fubuki to star in a movie about defeating Centipede Sage, using Genos's recorded battle footage.
• Meikyō objected that the proposed plot misrepresented how Centipede Sage and Garou were defeated, but Sweet Mask said Garou's circumstances had to remain secret.
• Saitama accepted a supporting role after learning he could have standout scenes, while Sweet Mask planned to create popular, idealized heroes through the film.

Sweet Mask arranged a film shoot featuring Meikyō and Tatsumaki, then Meikyō brought Tatsumaki to Genus's laboratory for a gravity-training experiment. The test ended with both Meikyō and Tatsumaki delighted by the results.

• Sweet Mask decided that Meikyō and Tatsumaki were ideal stars for a movie portraying powerful, attractive heroes, and the cast completed filming in less than a day.
• Meikyō arrived through a Teleportation Circle and joined Tatsumaki and Fubuki, then took them to Genus's laboratory.
• Genus showed Tatsumaki his upgraded equipment and explained the Psychic Power Directional Brainwave Amplifier and the energy demands of the Black Hole Class gravity training room.
• Tatsumaki used the amplifier to direct her Psychic Power while Meikyō trained inside the gravity room, tempering his body with blood energy from Ama-no-Ohabari.
• After more than forty minutes, the gravity shut off, and Meikyō and Tatsumaki both said the experience felt very good.

Meikyō and Tatsumaki assessed how training with extreme gravity could improve their powers, while Genus explained the enormous energy infrastructure Tatsumaki would need for regular sessions. In Konoha, Meikyō reviewed the village’s strength and found it had recovered and developed a powerful new generation of ninja.

• Meikyō said Black Hole Class gravity training noticeably challenged him and could improve his strength if he kept it up.
• Tatsumaki said the training could help her Psychic Power break through, but Genus explained that sustaining it for hours would require a vast network of power stations.
• Meikyō’s Wood Clone sent Kakashi, Genma, and Ebisu on an S-rank mission to escort Chakra Metal for the Unit-01 project.
• Meikyō appeared after the Shadow Guard left, and his Wood Clone forced him to receive its accumulated memories before dissipating.
• Meikyō learned that Konoha had more than 24,300 active ninja and that its growing roster of Kage-level fighters and cultivators made it far stronger than before.

Meikyō learned that Hozuki Mangetsu and Shirakumo Hayama’s squad had encountered Madara’s forces and went alone to rescue them. He arrived just as Shinnō’s False Eight Gates threatened to overwhelm the Konoha team.

• Mei Terumī reported that Hozuki Mangetsu and Shirakumo Hayama’s squad were under attack, and Aburame Nami confirmed their distress signal while warning that it could be a trap.
• Meikyō rejected the suggestion to bring a team, obtained the squad’s last signal location, and teleported there after sensing several presences near a cave.
• Shirakumo Hayama and Hozuki Mangetsu fought the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and Akatsuki forces while their outnumbered Konoha allies struggled to hold the line.
• Shinnō revealed his improved False Eight Gates Formation, powered by Zero-Tails, and broke through the team’s restraints as Akimichi Shito prepared to use a lethal Chili Pill.
• A Teleportation Circle appeared before the beleaguered Konoha team, and Meikyō asked Shinnō whether he still thought reinforcements were useless.

Meikyō killed Rasa, uncovered Madara’s plan to create the Ten-Tails, and ordered Konoha to mobilize for war. As allied forces assembled and leaders prepared for a strategy meeting, Meikyō weighed the approaching battle against his plans for the Ninja World.

• Meikyō emerged from the Teleportation Circle, killed Rasa with Gold Dust redirected by Shinra Tensei, and captured Shinnō and the Suna Jonin.
• Meikyō examined the prisoners’ brains and found that Madara was at the Golden Wheel Mountain Range, where he planned to create the Ten-Tails and capture the Three-Tails and Nine-Tails.
• Meikyō reassured his allies that he could handle Madara, then teleported the prisoners and Rasa’s corpse to Konoha and ordered Dan Katō and Tsunade to prepare for war.
• Konoha’s leaders organized their forces while Nara Shikaku reported that 20,130 ninja were ready to deploy and described the allied troop estimates and negotiations with the Land of Iron.
• Meikyō received a request for a prewar strategy meeting from Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and the Land of Iron, and headed to the communications room.

Meikyō organized an allied invasion of Sunagakure and Kirigakure while Sunagakure descended into chaos after Rasa’s disappearance. As the invasion reached the Land of Wind, Madara prepared the Ten-Tails and Scorpion’s war puppet, while Bhiruho awakened new power and remained troubled by Madara’s cursed mark.

• Meikyō assigned the allied forces to attack Sunagakure and Kirigakure, with himself leading the western front and Dan Katō leading the eastern front.
• After Rasa vanished, Sunagakure’s elders tried to make Scorpion Kazekage, but he refused and learned that a massive allied army was invading.
• Scorpion used his giant puppet plans as Sunagakure’s defenses faltered, while Nara Shikaku worried that the enemy’s easy advance might be a trap.
• Madara ordered Sunagakure’s forces to retreat to the Golden Wheel Mountain Range and explained his plans to awaken the Ten-Tails and use Scorpion’s war puppet.
• Bhiruho awakened with several powerful abilities, including Dust Release, but remained concerned about the cursed mark Madara had placed in his heart.

The Allied Army pursued Sunagakure into the Golden Wheel Mountain Range, where a giant puppet scorpion and Uchiha Hikari’s Susanoo turned the battle into a clash of colossal fighters. Meikyō and Madara had yet to enter the fight, leaving the other villages wondering whether they would survive the war.

• Meikyō ordered Shisui and the Raikage’s forces to pursue the retreating Sand Ninja while limiting Allied Army casualties.

• Meikyō revealed that he had mastered all sixteen Kekkei Genkai formed from the five basic Chakra natures and attacked Madara and the Ten-Tails.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi asked Tobirama Senju to help create an opening, and Tobirama teleported behind Hashirama, who punched apart half his body.

Uchiha Meikyō and Uchiha Madara continued their battle as Madara tried to gather the world’s Chakra through the God Tree and cast Infinite Tsukuyomi. Meikyō’s attack nearly destroyed the tree, but Madara survived by switching places with a Limbo Clone, leaving Meikyō to challenge his confidence that he could not be killed or sealed.
