Four years after the battle against Kaguya, the Shinobi World rebuilt while Dragon Release Village became its foremost ninja village. As the Golden Ring Solar Eclipse approached, Lin Ze’s Youying shadow clone awakened his Rinnegan and prepared to go to Mount Sumeru with Lin Ze.

• Hizashi Hyuga established Asahi Village with Konoha’s remaining clans and ninja, while the other great villages gradually recovered under their new leaders.

• Lin Ze told Kurenai Yuhi he was going to Mount Sumeru, and she understood that his ambitions extended beyond becoming the God of Shinobi.

Lin Ze and his clones watched Hiruko attempt to fuse five bloodline limits with the help of the Sharingan during a golden ring solar eclipse. Hiruko’s experiment succeeded, but he sensed someone hiding in the cave and demanded they reveal themselves.

• Lin Ze and the Youying clone left Kurenai Yuhi and their children, promising to return after completing an important task.
• Three days later, Lin Ze and the Youying clone arrived at Mount Sumeru and joined the White Tiger Clone, Kabuto Yakushi, and Dragon Release Village researchers.
• The group observed Hiruko preparing to use the Sharingan and the golden ring solar eclipse to stabilize his Chimera Technique.
• As the eclipse began, Hiruko fused four bloodline limits with the Sharingan, and the power stabilized instead of destroying him.
• Hiruko celebrated gaining five bloodline limits, then sensed chakra in the shadows and demanded the intruder come out.

Lin Ze began the Chimera Technique during the golden ring solar eclipse, using the demon bud to fuse six shadow clones into his body. As the painful process continued, rings began appearing in his eyes.

• Lin Ze and his companions confronted Hiruko, who was crushed by Lin Ze’s pressure and warned not to resist.
• Lin Ze released four shadow clones from a Sealing Scroll and prepared the formation as the eclipse reached its peak.
• The Youying Shadow Clone and White Tiger Clone used Living Corpse Reincarnation to transfer their souls into prepared bodies.
• Kabuto and the researchers arranged six shadow clone bodies around the formation while Lin Ze took the central position and produced the demon bud.
• Lin Ze activated the Chimera Technique, and the demon bud and six clones liquefied and began merging into his body.
• As Lin Ze endured the fusion, rings began forming in his eyes.

Lin Ze awakened a unique cyan Rinnegan as Hagoromo and Hamura prepared to stop him, but a mysterious pulse changed Hagoromo’s decision and led him to cancel the plan. Toneri withdrew, while Naruto and Sasuke regained their senses near Mount Sumeru with no memory of how they got there.

• Toneri received Hamura’s order to withdraw and headed for the Earth-Moon Passage in the Land of Frost.
• Naruto and Sasuke regained their senses near Mount Sumeru, found their memories blank, and stopped to investigate.

Lin Ze completed his Rinnegan fusion and overcame the demon bud by absorbing it into his strengthened cells. He reached a level Hiruko identified as Kekkei Mōra, but still needed enormous natural energy to finish his transformation, so he shot into the sky above Mount Sumeru.

• Lin Ze realized the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura had arrived but left without attacking, and suspected a greater threat had changed their plans.
• Lin Ze began fusing seven chakra powers while Kabuto monitored the process and Hiruko watched.
• The demon bud erupted and attacked Lin Ze, but his cells devoured it as nourishment, leaving Hiruko stunned.
• Lin Ze's new aura made Hiruko recognize that he had reached Kekkei Mōra, though Kabuto said he still needed enormous natural energy as a catalyst.
• Lin Ze shot into the sky, where an enormous azure figure appeared above Mount Sumeru.

Lin Ze absorbed immense natural energy and reached Kekkei Mōra, his Azure Dragon form spanning the sky above Mount Sumeru. His awakening drew the attention of Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki, who began heading toward the Shinobi World.

• Lin Ze's awakening overwhelmed the Golden Ring Solar Eclipse's suppression, and natural energy surged into his Azure Dragon form.
• Lin Ze's Azure Dragon grew to a hundred thousand meters, and his azure Rinnegan let him sense chakra across the Shinobi World and beyond.
• Lin Ze realized he had reached Kekkei Mōra by a different path from Kaguya and Hagoromo Otsutsuki, then roared across the Shinobi World.
• Momoshiki sensed Lin Ze's breakthrough and continued toward the Shinobi World with Kinshiki, intending to turn him into a powerful pill.
• Urashiki sensed the breakthrough, chose not to approach openly, and vanished to scout the Shinobi World before deciding whether to attack.

After attaining Kekkei Mōra, Lin Ze sensed Urashiki Otsutsuki approaching and prepared to fuse Ryōta Uchiha’s eyes to counter his time abilities. He recruited Hiruko into Dragon Release Village and left Mount Sumeru with Naruto, Sasuke, and his group, while Urashiki continued racing toward the Shinobi World.

• Lin Ze sensed Urashiki Otsutsuki traveling through the void and judged that Urashiki could reach the Shinobi World in two or three years, while Momoshiki and Kinshiki were much farther away.
• Lin Ze considered Urashiki’s time-travel ability, took out Ryōta Uchiha’s Mangekyō Sharingan, and decided to fuse with them.

• Lin Ze confirmed that the researchers had recorded his advancement and then left the cavern with Kabuto, Hiruko, and the researchers.

• Lin Ze led the group toward the Land of Whirlpools as Naruto and Sasuke questioned his cyan Rinnegan, while Urashiki continued traveling through the distant universe.

Lin Ze used Outer Path: Rinne Rebirth to restore nine people to life, including Rei Uesugi, Uchiha Onibi, and Ryota Uchiha. Afterward, the resurrected expressed their gratitude, while Tagitsuhime grew flustered over her feelings for Lin Ze.

• Kabuto used Impure World Reincarnation to restore Uchiha Onibi, Ryota Uchiha, Might Duy, Might Guy, White Snake Sage, Tagitsuhime, Tashihime, Hagoromo-hime, and Rei Uesugi as reanimated figures.

• White Snake Sage, Tashihime, and Hagoromo-hime pledged themselves to Lin Ze, while Kurenai Yuhi thanked Tagitsuhime for protecting him.
• Tagitsuhime became embarrassed as she recalled her final words to Lin Ze, then exchanged a knowing glance with him.

Lin Ze resurrected those killed by Kaguya whose souls remained intact, then prepared to integrate Ryōta’s Time-Reversal Trace into his Rinnegan. The chapter ended with Uchiha Onibi and Ryota Uchiha keeping watch as Lin Ze began the process.

• Might Duy and Might Guy learned that Kabuto and Lin Ze had resurrected them using cultivated bodies and the Rinnegan’s Outer Path: Rinne Rebirth, then ran off to do a hundred laps.
• Lin Ze welcomed the resurrected people home and spent the next few days bringing back those Kaguya had killed, though he could not restore Jiraiya, Rasa, Bunpuku, and others whose souls had been erased.
• Lin Ze issued a gag order about the resurrections and said he would use his power this way only once for the wider world, while making exceptions for people close to him.
• A week later, Lin Ze told Ryōta and Uchiha Onibi that he planned to integrate the Time-Reversal Trace from Ryōta’s Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan into his Rinnegan.
• Ryōta and Uchiha Onibi agreed to let Lin Ze use the eyes and settled nearby to guard him as he began the integration.

Lin Ze fused Ryōta’s Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan with his azure Rinnegan and spent five months reverse-copying Time-Reversal Trace. He tested the new ability and learned that it could rewind himself by five hours, while larger areas allowed shorter rewinds.

• Lin Ze implanted Ryōta’s Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and merged his azure Rinnegan into the Four-Eyed Susanoo, as the world filled with strange lights.
• Lin Ze recognized that he needed Time-Reversal Trace and began reverse-copying it into his Rinnegan with Myriad Mangekyō Return to Origin.
• Ghost Fire and Ryōta left after watching over Lin Ze for half a month, while Tagitsuhime, Kabuto, and others checked on him during the following months.
• After five months, Lin Ze emerged from the Susanoo with the copied ability and tested it by restoring his severed right arm.
• Lin Ze found he could rewind himself by five hours, but the rewind shortened to two hours across five hundred meters and twenty minutes across one kilometer.

After fusing Time-Reversal Trace with his Rinnegan, Lin Ze learned that Space-Time Mark needed Sasuke’s Eternal Black Flames to reach its full potential. Sasuke gave up the eye, and Lin Ze placed it alongside his own marked eye in his Susanoo, triggering a powerful reaction.

• Lin Ze revealed that Time-Reversal Trace had combined with his Divine Healing dōjutsu to form Space-Time Mark, which needed Sasuke’s Eternal Black Flames.
• Lin Ze traveled to the Land of Water and asked Sasuke for the dōjutsu, explaining that it was needed against their coming enemies.
• Sasuke removed his right eye and handed it to Lin Ze without hesitation.
• Lin Ze placed Sasuke’s eye and his own Space-Time Mark eye into the Susanoo’s upper sockets, unleashing surging eye power that churned the sea and changed the sky.
• Sasuke replaced his missing eye with an ordinary one and watched the towering Susanoo.

Lin Ze copied Sasuke Uchiha’s Eternal Black Flames and witnessed the ancient being who had slain the Earth Dragon perform Heaven Sacrifice. The fusion created Eternal Space-Time Grand Burial, an ability that could erase targets from existence and let Lin Ze travel through time within the Shinobi World.

• Lin Ze’s consciousness entered a vision of the ancient Shinobi World, where he saw a man perform Heaven Sacrifice before a ritual cauldron.
• The man transformed, summoned a Dark-Gold Trident, and looked directly at Lin Ze before shattering the vision.
