Chapter Summaries

Uchiha Gen killed Roshi in the false lava world and escaped with Minato Namikaze and Shibi Aburame as the dimension collapsed. After the Four-Tails was reborn in the Shinobi World and the Sage of Six Paths wondered about a new power, the group regrouped in an underground cavern, where Uchiha Gen offered instant noodles and cola.

• Uchiha Gen entered the false world and shattered Roshi’s projection, killing Roshi a second later as he entered Son Gokū Chakra Mode.
• Minato Namikaze used hand seals to take himself, Uchiha Gen, and Shibi Aburame away before the lava dimension collapsed.
• The Four-Tails, Son Gokū, appeared in the Pure Land, realized Roshi had died, and returned to the Shinobi World, where he was reborn in a volcano.

• Minato Namikaze discouraged Shibi Aburame from questioning Uchiha Gen and suggested they lie low after Roshi’s death.
• Uchiha Gen offered Minato Namikaze and Shibi Aburame cola and cups of instant noodles instead of hunting for food.

Ōnoki learned that Roshi had died and that the Four-Tails blamed a roughly ten-year-old Uchiha child, so he planned to question the tailed beast and find a new Jinchūriki. Meanwhile, Minato Namikaze struggled to write the mission report, and Uchiha Gen urged him to describe the killing plainly before Minato said he and Shiki would take responsibility.

• An Iwagakure jōnin reported to Ōnoki that Roshi had died in battle and the Four-Tails had broken free.

• Ōnoki ordered Kaito to arrange a meeting so he could question the Four-Tails, then considered candidates for a new Jinchūriki.
• Minato Namikaze struggled to write the mission report while Aburame Shiki stayed quiet and Uchiha Gen suggested he report the events normally.
• Minato told Uchiha Gen to stay out of the matter and said he and Shiki would take responsibility, promising to compensate him.

Uchiha Gen refused Minato Namikaze’s offer to conceal his role in killing the Four-Tails’ Jinchūriki, while Minato planned to watch Iwagakure’s underground passage for two more days before returning to camp. After receiving Minato’s report, Hiruzen Sarutobi feared Uchiha Gen’s power and considered how to prevent him from becoming another Madara Uchiha.

• Uchiha Gen told Minato Namikaze he would keep the glory he had earned as an Uchiha.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi read Minato Namikaze’s report confirming that Uchiha Gen had been the main force in killing the Four-Tails’ Jinchūriki.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi considered assassinating Uchiha Gen but rejected the idea because it risked discovery, Uchiha retaliation, and internal conflict in Konoha.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi could only hope Uchiha Gen would remain loyal to Konoha like Kagami.

Sunagakure's leaders discussed their worsening war against Konoha and decided to seek help from their old ally, the Supreme Onmyoji Assembly of the Land of Calamity. Chiyo expected reinforcements soon, while Ebizo considered reviving a plan to sabotage Konoha's supplies.

• Chiyo defended Rasa as Fourth Kazekage after Tsunade's Wood Release had defeated him and shifted the battlefield against Sunagakure.
• A senior official proposed releasing Bunpuku and Shukaku, but Chiyo warned that doing so would expose Sunagakure to Kirigakure and Kumogakure.

Ebizo proposed reorganizing Sunagakure’s Suicide Squad to strike Konoha’s supply lines and decided to lead the mission himself, despite Chiyo’s fear of losing him. Meanwhile, Mitarashi Shisui’s supply convoy continued through the Land of Fire with Might Duy helping escort it toward the Land of Wind.

• Ebizo told Chiyo he wanted to send a reorganized Suicide Squad into the Land of Fire to attack Konoha’s supply lines.

• Might Duy spotted an enemy attack and hurled Mitarashi Shisui out of the missile blast, but survived the explosions himself.

• Ebizo strengthened his armor and fired liquid-nitrogen missiles, but Might Duy opened the second gate and melted the frost.
• Might Duy struck Ebizo into a deep pit, caved in his breastplate, and pressed his palm against Ebizo’s helmet.

Might Duy defeated Ebizo to protect his companions, but Ebizo revived in a hidden Sunagakure laboratory through the Myriad Bodies Replacing the Body Technique. At the Land of Fire border, Minato Namikaze rescued the injured Konoha team, and Uchiha Gen identified a captured device as a miniature Tailed Beast Bomb.

• Ebizo awoke in a Sunagakure laboratory among dozens of identical bodies and realized his Myriad Bodies Replacing the Body Technique had revived him.

• Might Duy and Mitarashi Shisui each blamed himself for Shisui's wound while Minato Namikaze asked Uchiha Gen to examine the captured mechanical bird.
• Uchiha Gen identified the black Four-Rhombus Block in the bird's talons as a miniature Tailed Beast Bomb, and Mitarashi Shisui asked why Minato Namikaze, Shibi, and Gen had come there.

• An unseen speaker questioned Uchiha Gen's identity, saying his power did not come from the Uchiha bloodline.

Uchiha Fugaku revealed that his Mangekyō Sharingan let him see futures in which the Uchiha Clan was destroyed, but Uchiha Gen’s actions repeatedly changed what he foresaw. Fugaku could not see the newest future after Gen’s power grew stronger, while Gen’s Sharingan seemed close to awakening further.

• Uchiha Fugaku appeared in Uchiha Gen’s home through a space distortion and explained that he had opened a domain with his Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Uchiha Fugaku told Uchiha Gen that his left-eye technique, [Tianjin Yan], showed him futures in which the Uchiha Clan was destroyed, regardless of whether Itachi, Shisui, or another child carried out the massacre.

• Uchiha Fugaku said the future changed again after Uchiha Gen and Minato returned, but his attempt to see the new future consumed more than half his ocular power.
• Uchiha Gen’s Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly as his ocular power surged, and Uchiha Fugaku realized he was close to becoming another Mangekyō Sharingan wielder.

Uchiha Fugaku tested Uchiha Gen’s loyalty and confirmed that his eyes and abilities marked him as a true Uchiha. Afterward, Fugaku told Minato Namikaze about the Mangekyō’s divine origins and his despair over the future he had seen.

• Uchiha Fugaku showed Uchiha Gen scenes of the clan’s massacre to test his sense of belonging, and Gen’s rising ocular power convinced him that Gen was a true Uchiha.
• Fugaku urged Gen to delay his plan, saying that a pair of Mangekyō eyes could help prevent a war from consuming the Shinobi World.
• The illusion shattered, and Gen returned to his room as Fugaku left, shedding a bloody tear after using his ocular technique.

• Fugaku explained that Indra had absorbed the remnants’ powers and passed them down through the Uchiha bloodline, with the Mangekyō unlocking them.
• Fugaku admitted that he had considered killing Gen and described the despair he felt when his eyes showed him the clan’s destruction and a family divided against itself.

• Uchiha Fugaku explained that his killing intent toward Uchiha Gen had led to a fight in which Gen awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan and killed him seventeen times.

• Uchiha Gen demonstrated chakra extraction to Gastly, who quickly produced chakra.
• Gastly told Uchiha Gen that it had drawn the chakra from the surrounding air, and Gen wondered where the energy had come from.

Uchiha Gen sent Gastly to train in his shadow, then met Hatake Sakumo for sword practice and discovered that Sakumo’s lightning sword force was not chakra. Their clash left Gen defending against Sakumo’s three successive lightning strikes.

• Hatake Sakumo named his sword force Thunderclap and unleashed three escalating lightning-blade strikes.
• Uchiha Gen surrounded himself with fragments of the Demon Blade Thousand Blades and used flames to block Sakumo’s strikes.

Hatake Sakumo demonstrated how sword force could become an invisible domain that obeyed its wielder’s will, then advised Uchiha Gen to forge his sword styles into something of his own. He admitted he could not teach Gen to awaken sword force and explained that his domain had let him control the force and intent inside Gen’s body.

• Hatake Sakumo shattered Uchiha Gen’s flames and explained how sword force could build successive waves of power.

• Hatake Sakumo explained that his domain let him control all force and intent within it, including what was inside Gen’s body.

Uchiha Gen learned that Hatake Sakumo’s sword domain could influence others through his “clear heart” ability, then joined a Konoha ambush against Iwagakure forces in the Land of Grass. The chapter left Uchiha Gen facing the elite jonin Akatsuchi after his Crimson Red Lotus attack exposed the enemy squad.

• Hatake Sakumo explained that his sword domain’s unusual effects came from an ability Uchiha Gen named clear heart, and invited him to barbecue.

• Akatsuchi began to dissipate as Ōnoki appeared in the sky and disintegrated the lightning-wreathed Demon Blade fragment.
• Uchiha Gen watched Ōnoki from inside the Fake World and wondered why Iwagakure’s leader had personally joined the battle.

• Uchiha Gen reached Minato Namikaze and crushed Ōnoki’s annihilating beams with a hand of green flame.

Uchiha Gen awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and defeated Ōnoki’s Rock Clone with a snap of his fingers, leaving Minato Namikaze stunned. Gen then explained the eyes’ significance while reflecting on the strange memories and powers they had given him.
