Uchiha Minamoto revealed that Naruto was Minato Namikaze’s son, exposed Obito Uchiha as the Nine-Tails’ attacker, and announced Obito’s public execution. After the meeting, Minamoto tried to upgrade his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and learned that the cost depended on the kind of evolution he chose.

• Naruto introduced himself to the gathered jonin and declared that he would become Hokage someday, while the assembled clans welcomed him warmly.
• Uchiha Minamoto explained that he had preserved the chakra consciousnesses of Minato Namikaze and his wife, then confirmed that Obito Uchiha had controlled the Nine-Tails during the attack seven years earlier.

• Shikaku Nara and Choza Akimichi invited Naruto to their homes, while Hiruzen Sarutobi left the Hokage Building, believing he would not return.
• Minamoto checked his Great Love Points and attempted to raise his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to SSS-rank, but discovered that a broader upgrade would cost 300 million points while deriving the Rinnegan alone would cost 100 million.

Uchiha Minamoto weighed the costly Rinne Three-Tomoe Sharingan against upgrading his Sage Body, then spent all his Great Love Points to create the SSS-rank Great Sun Sage Body. The upgrade left him with solar energy, powerful senjutsu chakra, and the ability to become light as long as sunlight remained.

• Uchiha Minamoto realized the Rinnegan and Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan were separate forms, while the Rinne Three-Tomoe Sharingan could combine their abilities and strengthen his existing dōjutsu.

• Uchiha Minamoto tested the Great Sun Sage Body and found that it let his body become light, resist conventional attacks, and grow stronger by absorbing sunlight.
• Uchiha Minamoto checked his attributes and found that his overall assessment had risen to Near-Six Paths Level, with SSS-rank life energy and chakra but SS-rank mental energy.
• Uchiha Minamoto estimated that he could gather enough Great Love Points to awaken the Rinne Sharingan in about a year, then flew toward Konoha at lightspeed.
• Uchiha Hinotori published a front-page story identifying Obito Uchiha as the culprit behind the Nine-Tails’ Attack and reporting that the Fifth Hokage had captured him.
• Uchiha Hinotori announced that Obito Uchiha would be publicly executed in three days as villagers crowded the newspaper office and the square outside the Konoha Military Police Force Building.

Konoha’s villagers vented their anger at Obito Uchiha, while Kakashi Hatake rejected the man sealed in the square as the Obito he had once known. Uchiha Minamoto found no sign of Black Zetsu and, after reviewing the Anbu roster, focused on Aburame Ryoma as he prepared to address Root’s remaining legacy.

• Konoha’s villagers hurled rotten food and other debris at Obito Uchiha inside the [Amber Sealing] while Uchiha Rai and the Patrol and Security Squad kept order.

Minamoto then headed for the Uzumaki Clan’s Mask Storage Temple while Naruto Uzumaki trained, where Kushina Uzumaki argued against Minato Namikaze’s plan for Naruto to summon Mount Myōboku’s toads.

• Uchiha Minamoto stripped Aburame Ryoma of his Anbu status and offered him a choice between confessing Root’s crimes and joining Shimura Danzō.

• Uchiha Minamoto left a Lightning Doppelganger in the Hokage’s Office and set out for the Uzumaki Clan’s Mask Storage Temple.
• Minato Namikaze planned for Naruto Uzumaki to learn summoning and eventually contract with Kurama, but Kushina Uzumaki argued that Naruto should summon from Shikkotsu Forest instead of Mount Myōboku.

Uchiha Minamoto consulted Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki about the Uzumaki Clan’s Mask Storage Temple and promised to bring Karin and her mother from Kusagakure to Konoha. He took Naruto Uzumaki to the neglected shrine and told him that, as the village’s only Uzumaki, he was its owner and should help rebuild it.

• Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki taught Naruto Uzumaki the Summoning Technique, and Uchiha Minamoto arrived at Training Ground 7 to speak with them.

Uchiha Minamoto retrieved the Shinigami Masks containing Minato Namikaze and half the Nine-Tails, then disguised Wood Clones as Obito Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Juzo Biwa to answer Pain’s Akatsuki gathering call. The clones joined the meeting, where Minamoto found the Akatsuki’s known members present and confirmed that Uchiha Itachi, Deidara, and Hidan had not joined.

• Uchiha Minamoto made three Wood Clones and disguised them as Obito Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Juzo Biwa, giving each the corresponding Akatsuki ring.
• The three Wood Clones joined the Akatsuki meeting, where Uchiha Minamoto saw Deva Path Pain, Konan, Zetsu, Kakuzu, Orochimaru, and Sasori, and noted that Uchiha Itachi, Deidara, and Hidan were absent.

Uchiha Minamoto revealed himself to the Akatsuki as the Fifth Hokage during their meeting, shocking the organization and exposing his presence in Konoha. Orochimaru openly described the Akatsuki’s tailed beast plan, and Konan challenged him over whether he intended to betray them.

• Sasori, Kakuzu, and Orochimaru reported that they were near Sunagakure and planned to capture the One-Tail Jinchuriki quietly.
• Deva Path Pain agreed that the Akatsuki should avoid alerting Sunagakure and asked where Obito, Kisame, and Jūzō were.
• Uchiha Minamoto revealed that Kisame and Jūzō had reached Kirigakure, then dropped his disguise and identified himself as the Fifth Hokage.
• The Akatsuki members recognized Uchiha Minamoto and reacted with alarm, while Orochimaru greeted him calmly.
• Orochimaru described the Akatsuki’s goal of collecting the tailed beasts, prompting Konan to accuse him of betraying the organization.

Uchiha Minamoto exposed the Akatsuki’s weakened position, traced its remaining members, and chose to visit Iwagakure rather than pursue Pain or the members near the Land of Wind. He postponed dealing with the Shinigami Masks and the Yin Nine-Tails.

• Orochimaru withdrew from the Akatsuki after concluding its Tailed Beast capture plan was doomed, while Kakuzu and Sasori of the Red Sands waited to see whether Pain could oppose Uchiha Minamoto.

• Pain ended the technique, warning Uchiha Minamoto that they would meet on a real battlefield; Uchiha Minamoto reviewed the intelligence and wondered why Black Zetsu had remained silent.
• Uchiha Minamoto put away the [Shinigami Masks], told Kurama to remain inside one for a few more days, and decided to visit Iwagakure.

Pain learned that Konoha had uncovered the Akatsuki’s Tailed Beast capture plan and that several members had been captured or defected, leaving the organization too weak to continue. He tried to hold the remaining members together while Black Zetsu secretly moved to support Orochimaru and resurrect Madara.

• Pain confirmed that Obito, Kisame, and Juzo’s rings were in Konoha and that Orochimaru had sealed his ring to cut off Pain’s connection.
• Pain counted only five Akatsuki members remaining and questioned Black Zetsu about the failed mission to capture the Six-Tails.
• Black Zetsu admitted fault, reported that no new S-rank missing-nin were available, and revealed that all four of Konoha’s Tailed Beasts had been unsealed.
• Black Zetsu left Amegakure for the Land of Fields, intending to increase his support for Orochimaru and hasten Madara’s resurrection.
• Pain reassured Konan that the Rinnegan would let him defeat Minamoto, then contacted Sasori and Kakuzu to keep them in the Akatsuki.
• Kakuzu told Sasori that Pain had ordered them to suspend the operation to capture the One-Tail Jinchuriki.

Uchiha Minamoto flew to Iwagakure to demand that Ōnoki negotiate peace with Konoha on the same terms as Kirigakure and Kumogakure. Ōnoki rejected his demand and began forming hand seals, leaving the confrontation on the brink of battle.

• Kakuzu abandoned the Akatsuki and headed into the Land of Wind to find replacement hearts, while Sasori continued toward Sunagakure.
• Uchiha Minamoto left a [Lightning Doppelganger] in Konoha and sped to Iwagakure, where his [Heavenly Net] detected the Four-Tails and Five-Tails.

• Uchiha Minamoto dismissed Ōnoki's congratulatory letter and demanded that Iwagakure negotiate peace on the terms imposed on Kirigakure and Kumogakure.
• Ōnoki refused and began forming hand seals to attack Uchiha Minamoto.

Uchiha Minamoto used the Water Mirror Technique to copy Ōnoki and his Dust Release, then descended on Iwagakure to take its jinchūriki. Roshi refused to surrender the Four-Tails and attacked, but Minamoto evaded his blows and met Roshi’s lava barrage with a Sage Art fireball.

• Ōnoki unleashed Dust Release at Uchiha Minamoto, who reflected it with the Water Mirror Technique and sent a duplicate of Ōnoki to fight him.
• Minamoto headed into Iwagakure, intending to take the Four-Tails and Five-Tails jinchūriki as Konoha’s tailed beast retrieval plan began.
• Roshi dismissed Iwagakure Anbu’s evacuation order and chose to defend the village after Son Goku warned him of Minamoto’s immense chakra.
• Minamoto appeared beside the waterfall and asked Roshi to cooperate in handing over the Four-Tails, but Roshi transformed with Lava Release Chakra Mode and attacked.
• Minamoto evaded Roshi’s attacks while testing his abilities, and Roshi unleashed Lava Release: Scorching River Rock Technique.
• Minamoto countered Roshi’s lava fireballs by forming Sage Art: Blaze Release: Great Fireball Technique.

Uchiha Minamoto overwhelmed Roshi’s Lava Release with his black Blaze Release flames, but Roshi and Han escaped underground and joined forces to attack him. The chapter ended with Roshi’s volcanic magma technique engulfing Minamoto, leaving the jinchūriki unsure whether it had hit.

• Minamoto’s Blaze Release consumed Roshi’s magma and spread a sea of black flames around Iwagakure Waterfall.
• Han arrived in a burst of steam, and Roshi raised a lava barrier before pulling both of them underground to escape the flames.
• Minamoto used Magnet Release to sense and constrict the earth around Roshi and Han, but Han blasted them back aboveground with Boil Release.
• Roshi and Han called on Four-Tails Son Goku and Five-Tails Kokuō, then attacked Minamoto together.
• Han’s Steam Dash punch passed through Minamoto’s light-and-shadow image, and Roshi followed with Lava Release: Flower-Fruit Mountain.
• Roshi and Han watched the eruption of magma engulf Minamoto and wondered whether their attack had landed.

Uchiha Minamoto’s attacks remained untouchable to Roshi and Han, who transformed into their tailed beasts as he prepared to show them his power. Above Iwagakure, Ōnoki struggled against a Water Mirror duplicate until Uchiha Minamoto’s Perfect Susanoo appeared, leaving Ōnoki without the will to resist.

• Uchiha Minamoto recorded Roshi’s and Han’s versions of Lava Release and Boil Release while their attacks failed to harm him.
• Roshi and Han unleashed Complete Tailed Beast Transformation, becoming Four-Tails-Son Goku and Five-Tails-Kokuō.
• Ōnoki fought a duplicate of himself and its rock clones, but their matching techniques repeatedly canceled out his attacks.
• Ōnoki tried to descend and support Roshi and Han, but the duplicate and its clones suddenly stopped moving.
• Uchiha Minamoto manifested his fully armed Perfect Susanoo above Iwagakure, and Ōnoki recognized its power as greater than Madara Uchiha’s Susanoo and lost his desire to resist.

Uchiha Minamoto overwhelmed Iwagakure with the Perfect Susanoo, forcing Ōnoki to surrender and incapacitating Roshi with genjutsu when he resisted. Minamoto then went to the Tsuchikage Building, where Ōnoki tried to explain Iwagakure’s alliance pact with Kumogakure.

• Four-Tails Son Goku attacked the Perfect Susanoo with a lava staff, but Uchiha Minamoto cut through the weapon and the mountain peaks surrounding Iwagakure with the Heavenly Cloud Sword.
• Ōnoki surrendered as falling rocks shook Iwagakure and frightened its villagers, while Han ended his Complete Tailed Beast Transformation.
• Roshi refused to surrender, so Uchiha Minamoto used Limited Tsukuyomi to knock him unconscious and draw him into a genjutsu.
• Uchiha Minamoto dispelled the Perfect Susanoo and let Ōnoki guide him to the Tsuchikage Building.
• When Ōnoki mentioned Iwagakure’s peaceful relations with Konoha, Uchiha Minamoto challenged him about the pact with Kumogakure, and Ōnoki called it a delaying tactic.

• Uchiha Minamoto realized that explicitly establishing ownership of tailed beasts had increased the treaty’s reward.

Uchiha Minamoto secured Iwagakure’s agreement to return the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, promising Ōnoki that the beasts would live freely in Konoha. As Minamoto prepared to leave with Roshi and Han, Deidara enthusiastically declared him an artistic inspiration.

• Uchiha Minamoto put away the Fire-Earth Security Treaty and told Ōnoki he would settle Roshi and Han’s affairs before returning to Konoha.
• Ōnoki asked whether Minamoto would redistribute the Tailed Beasts, and Minamoto said he rejected that approach and would free the Four-Tails and Five-Tails instead of sealing them into Jinchūriki.
• Ōnoki led Minamoto outside, where Han guarded the unconscious Roshi, still trapped by Minamoto’s Limited Tsukuyomi.
• Deidara excitedly praised Minamoto’s giant jutsu as the ultimate art and called him Big Brother.
• Ōnoki ordered Deidara to address Minamoto as Lord Hokage, but Deidara insisted on calling him Big Brother and mocked Ōnoki as an old man who could not understand artists.
