Chapter Summaries

Uchiha Minamoto decided to travel to the Land of Wind to search for Orochimaru and protect Gaara from being hidden or captured. Before leaving, he entrusted the Land of Iron to Hashirama Senju and shared Madara Uchiha’s scrolls with the Hokage and his subordinates.

• Uchiha Minamoto worried that Orochimaru and Sasori of the Red Sands might attack Gaara and hide him with Shukaku the One-Tail, or that Madara Uchiha might be revived through Impure World Reincarnation.
• Uchiha Minamoto decided to go to the Land of Wind and nearby small countries, leaving Hashirama Senju in charge of matters in the Land of Iron and postponing his full revival.
• Uchiha Minamoto brought out Madara Uchiha’s private ninjutsu scrolls and offered to add them to the Scroll of Seals for the Hokage to read.

• Uchiha Minamoto gave Shisui Uchiha a scroll about the Sharingan and Kakashi Hatake a scroll for Yin Release: Lightning Dispatch.

Uchiha Minamoto offered Kakashi Hatake and Shisui Uchiha hope of resurrecting their relatives, then traveled to the Land of Wind to investigate the missing One-Tail. He found Kakuzu alone, with Rasa's chakra coming from Kakuzu's body, and vanished to confront him.

• Uchiha Minamoto told Kakashi Hatake he could help him meet Hatake Sakumo again and promised to resurrect Kagami Uchiha for Shisui Uchiha.
• Shisui Uchiha thanked Uchiha Minamoto and activated his [Mangekyō Sharingan], while Uchiha Minamoto left Hashirama Senju in charge and headed for Sunagakure.

• Uchiha Minamoto sensed Rasa's chakra inside Kakuzu and teleported to confront him.

Uchiha Minamoto confronted Kakuzu in the Land of Wind and deduced that he had taken Rasa’s heart. Minamoto destroyed three of Kakuzu’s hearts with Light Release, prompting Kakuzu to counterattack with a combined fire-and-wind technique.

• Minamoto appeared before Kakuzu in the desert and identified him as an S-rank missing-nin and former Akatsuki member.

• Minamoto fired twice more at Kakuzu, destroying his Water Release and Lightning Release hearts as Kakuzu pretended to be dead.
• Kakuzu escaped Minamoto’s next attack with his black threads and launched a combined fire-and-wind ninjutsu at him.

Uchiha Minamoto forced Kakuzu to reveal how he, Sasori of the Red Sands, and Orochimaru had attacked Sunagakure and taken Gaara. After learning Orochimaru had headed west with Gaara, Uchiha Minamoto killed Kakuzu with Amaterasu.

• Uchiha Minamoto destroyed Kakuzu's Fire-Release Mask and threatened to kill him, prompting Kakuzu to betray his former companions.
• Kakuzu revealed that Sasori of the Red Sands had planned the Kazekage assassination and that Orochimaru had taken Gaara after the attack.
• Kakuzu said Sasori had headed north while Orochimaru and Gaara went west, leading Uchiha Minamoto to plan a search toward the Land of Demons and the Land of Swamps.
• Uchiha Minamoto thanked Kakuzu for the information, then severed his Earth Grudge Fear tentacles with Amenotokotachi.
• Uchiha Minamoto set Kakuzu ablaze with Blaze Release: Amaterasu.

Uchiha Minamoto killed Kakuzu and gained the Earth Grudge Fear formula, then sent clones to search for Sasori and Orochimaru while heading to Sunagakure. He arrived above the village and demanded that whoever was in charge come out to meet him.

• Uchiha Minamoto burned Kakuzu to ashes with Amaterasu and sealed a severed tentacle holding the mask made from Rasa's heart.
• Uchiha Minamoto received five million Great Love Points and the S-rank Earth Grudge Fear formula for killing Kakuzu.
• Uchiha Minamoto learned that Earth Grudge Fear granted its user longevity and agelessness, and stored Kakuzu's tentacle for later use.
• Uchiha Minamoto sent one Lightning Doppelganger north to find Sasori of the Red Sands and another west to search for Orochimaru and Gaara.
• Uchiha Minamoto used Divine Lightning to reach Sunagakure, summoned Susanoo above the village, and called for whoever was in charge to meet him.

Sunagakure’s leaders struggled to find Gaara after the One-Tail Jinchuriki vanished and discovered that the Fourth Kazekage was unreachable. Uchiha Minamoto arrived in his Susanoo and asked whether Sunagakure had a candidate for Fifth Kazekage, prompting Granny Chiyo to step forward.

• Granny Chiyo questioned Sunagakure’s higher-ups about Gaara, but they had found no trace of him or learned anything from the Anbu assigned to watch him.
• Chiyo and Ebizo suspected someone in the village had leaked intelligence that helped Gaara’s abductors cover their tracks.
• The higher-ups reported that the Fourth Kazekage was unreachable while attending the Five Kage Summit, and Chiyo urged them to send someone to the Land of Iron.
• A giant deep-blue Susanoo appeared over Sunagakure, and Granny Chiyo recognized it as Uchiha Minamoto’s.
• Uchiha Minamoto appeared on the Kazekage Hokage Building rooftop and asked whether Sunagakure had a candidate for Fifth Kazekage.
• After the frightened Sunagakure ninja hesitated, Granny Chiyo stepped forward.

Uchiha Minamoto showed Sunagakure’s leaders a genjutsu reproducing Rasa’s attack on the Five Kage Summit and revealed that Kakuzu had turned Rasa’s heart into a mask. Granny Chiyo tried to argue that the dead Rasa could not be held responsible for the attack, and Minamoto pointed to Sunagakure’s advanced Puppet Techniques.

• Uchiha Minamoto used Limited Tsukuyomi to show Granny Chiyo and the Sunagakure ninja Rasa attacking the Five Kage Summit and dying to Minamoto.
• The Sunagakure leaders realized Rasa’s actions could bring severe retaliation and financial ruin upon their village.
• Minamoto told Granny Chiyo that Rasa’s corpse remained at the Five Kage Summit Building and offered to let Sunagakure take custody of it.
• Minamoto revealed Rasa’s heart inside Amber Sealing and explained that Kakuzu had made it into a special mask.
• Granny Chiyo argued that Rasa had already been dead when the attack occurred, and Minamoto acknowledged her point before mentioning Sunagakure’s Puppet Techniques.

Uchiha Minamoto pressed Sunagakure to investigate the Fourth Kazekage’s death and send a representative to the resumed Five Kage Summit. After Minamoto left, the village’s senior officials hesitated to volunteer, and Granny Chiyo confronted them about nominating her as the Fifth Kazekage.

• Granny Chiyo rejected Minamoto’s suggestion that a Sunagakure Ninja controlled the Fourth Kazekage as a human puppet, while suspecting a missing-nin might be involved.
• Minamoto told Sunagakure to send a representative to examine the Kazekage’s corpse and attend the Five Kage Summit, and Granny Chiyo agreed.
• Minamoto said he would personally escort the new representative to the Land of Iron, then vanished using Kamui.
• Granny Chiyo ordered Sunagakure’s senior officials to choose a representative, but none volunteered because the summit seemed dangerous.
• Granny Chiyo asked whether the officials intended to nominate her as the Fifth Kazekage.

Granny Chiyo refused to become the Fifth Kazekage but agreed to represent Sunagakure at the Five Kage Summit. She and Ebizo suspected Sasori had killed the Fourth Kazekage and abducted Gaara, and Ebizo raised the possibility that Sasori had also killed the Third Kazekage.

• Sunagakure's leaders urged Granny Chiyo to take the Kazekage position, but she declined and agreed to attend the Five Kage Summit as the village's representative.
• After the other leaders left, Chiyo told Ebizo she suspected Sasori had assassinated Rasa and might have taken Gaara.
• Ebizo realized Sasori's membership in Akatsuki and his strength made him a plausible suspect in Rasa's death and Gaara's disappearance.
• Ebizo asked whether Sasori had also assassinated the Third Kazekage, whose disappearance coincided with Sasori leaving Sunagakure.

Uchiha Minamoto analyzed Nagato's Rinnegan and discovered Limbo: Border Jail, but decided to save his points and upgrade his own eyes instead. He committed his entire reserve to evolving his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan into a Rinne Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

• Uchiha Minamoto traveled to an uninhabited desert in the Land of Wind after finishing his talks with Sunagakure's leadership.
• Uchiha Minamoto used Heart of Great Love to analyze Nagato's Rinnegan and discovered the Limbo: Border Jail dōjutsu.
• Uchiha Minamoto weighed Limbo: Border Jail's strengths against its cost and decided not to spend points copying it.
• Uchiha Minamoto ordered Heart of Great Love to upgrade his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and the panel stated that the deduction would cost three hundred million points.
• Uchiha Minamoto accepted the cost and spent his entire reserve on the upgrade.

Uchiha Minamoto spent 300 million points to evolve his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan into golden SSS-rank Rinne Three-Tomoe Sharingan, awakening Six Paths power and new exclusive dōjutsu. He inspected his transformed eyes but postponed testing their abilities.

• Uchiha Minamoto used 300 million points to trigger a powerful transformation in his eyes.
• Uchiha Minamoto awakened golden Rinne Three-Tomoe Sharingan, raising his mental energy to SSS-rank and gaining Six Paths power.
• Uchiha Minamoto learned that his right-eye Amenotokotachi had become Takamagahara and his left-eye Kamumusuhi had become Eight Million Gods.
• Uchiha Minamoto considered whether his new eyes could summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and concluded Nagato's death should not affect the sealed Seven-Tails.
• Uchiha Minamoto used the Water Mirror Technique to inspect his golden eyes and wondered why they were not purple or red.

Uchiha Minamoto awakened his golden Rinne Three-Tomoe Sharingan and discovered he could use its Six Paths abilities, then summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. The statue contained the Seven-Tails, Chōmei, and Minamoto inspected its abilities as he prepared to release it.

• Uchiha Minamoto tested his new eyes and used the Deva Path abilities Shinra Tensei and Banshō Ten'in, then created a Black Receiver.
• Uchiha Minamoto realized his Rinne Three-Tomoe Sharingan could access the Six Paths abilities and summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
• Uchiha Minamoto summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and found that it held the Seven-Tails, Chōmei.
• The Heart of Great Love scanned the statue and assessed its chakra absorption and chakra release abilities.
• Uchiha Minamoto examined the statue and noted that it was an incomplete shell whose SS-rank chakra strength came from Chōmei sealed inside.

Uchiha Minamoto freed Seven-Tails Chōmei and gained the SS-rank Kekkei Tōta formula [Platform Release]. He considered how combining all seven chakra nature transformations might lead to Kekkei Mōra, while confirming that his own strength had reached the Six Paths level.

• Uchiha Minamoto examined the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and considered whether supplying it with tailed-beast chakra could revive Kaguya Otsutsuki.
• He set aside his plans to pursue One-Tail Shukaku and unseal Kaguya Otsutsuki, then used [Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals] to free Seven-Tails Chōmei.
• Uchiha Minamoto received ten million Great Love Points and the SS-rank Kekkei Tōta formula [Platform Release].
• Uchiha Minamoto recognized that [Platform Release] completed his set of supercharged versions of the Five Nature Ninjutsu, with Earth Release still missing.
• Uchiha Minamoto considered that fusing those abilities could combine seven chakra nature transformations and lead to Kekkei Mōra.
• Uchiha Minamoto confirmed that his Great Sun Sage Body, Rinne Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and SSS-rank attributes placed him at the Six Paths level.

Uchiha Minamoto freed Seven-Tails Chōmei from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and planned to take it to Konoha, but Chōmei mistook his intentions for another attempt to enslave and sell it. After Chōmei attacked, Minamoto subdued it and began explaining that Konoha’s other Tailed Beasts were not enslaved.

• Uchiha Minamoto considered developing a unique Kekkei Mōra technique but focused on dealing with the newly freed Seven-Tails Chōmei.
• Seven-Tails Chōmei recognized Uchiha Minamoto as Indra’s descendant after he appeared before it and said he would take it to Konoha.
• Seven-Tails Chōmei feared being sold and sealed again, then fired a Tailed Beast Bomb at Uchiha Minamoto.
• Uchiha Minamoto absorbed and reflected the attack with the Yata Mirror and Uchiha Reflection, then bound Chōmei with Sage Art: Lightning Light Chain Lock.
• Seven-Tails Chōmei declared that Tailed Beasts would never be slaves, and Uchiha Minamoto denied trying to enslave it.

Uchiha Minamoto sealed Chōmei and spent ten million Great Love Points deriving Mud Release, then found that a Kekkei Mōra version of Light Release would cost fifty million. He estimated he could afford the derivation in one or two months and reunited with a Lightning Doppelganger in the western Land of Wind.

• Uchiha Minamoto encased Chōmei in Amber Sealing and transferred it to the Kamui Alternate Dimension.
• Uchiha Minamoto spent ten million Great Love Points to derive the new kekkei tōta, Mud Release.

• Uchiha Minamoto estimated that income and the One-Tail and Six-Tails could help him reach the cost in one or two months.
• Uchiha Minamoto appeared in the western Land of Wind and reunited with one of his Lightning Doppelgangers.

Uchiha Minamoto searched the western Ninja Continent but found no trace of Orochimaru or Gaara, then returned to Sunagakure to escort its representatives to the Five Kage Summit. There, he met Acting Kazekage Chiyo and Ebizo and prepared to take them to the Land of Iron.

• Uchiha Minamoto received the Lightning Doppelganger’s memories and searched aboveground and underground, but found no trace of Orochimaru or Gaara.

• Uchiha Minamoto told Chiyo there was no need to spend three days traveling to the Land of Iron.

Uchiha Minamoto transported Chiyo and Ebizo to the Land of Iron as Sunagakure’s representatives arrived for the Five Kage Summit. Back at the summit, he revealed that Akatsuki members Sasori, Kakuzu, and Orochimaru had killed Rasa, then questioned Jiraiya about his search for Orochimaru.

• Uchiha Minamoto used Divine Lightning to take Chiyo and Ebizo from Sunagakure to Three Wolves Mountain in the Land of Iron.
• Chiyo proposed that Sunagakure join the other villages against Konoha, but Ebizo reminded her that Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure had already allied with Konoha.
• Uchiha Minamoto returned to the Five Kage Summit Building, where the Konoha group asked whether Sunagakure’s situation had been resolved and learned that Chiyo and Ebizo were the new representatives.
• Uchiha Minamoto said he had investigated Rasa’s death and identified Sasori, Kakuzu, and Orochimaru as the killers.
• Uchiha Minamoto asked Jiraiya whether he had searched for Orochimaru during his years outside the village, and Jiraiya acknowledged that he had.

Uchiha Minamoto questioned Jiraiya about Orochimaru’s hidden bases after failing to detect him in the Land of Swamps or the Land of Demons. The group suspected Orochimaru had escaped to Ryūchi Cave and feared he might be able to summon an Impure World Reincarnation Madara Uchiha.

• Jiraiya identified a secret Orochimaru base in the Land of Swamps, but Uchiha Minamoto said he had already searched the area without detecting Orochimaru or Shukaku.
• Jiraiya suggested Orochimaru might be hiding in Ryūchi Cave, which could have kept him beyond Uchiha Minamoto’s detection.
• Tsunade asked why Orochimaru warranted so much attention, and Uchiha Minamoto cited his mastery of the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu and his capture of the One-Tail Jinchuriki.
• Jiraiya volunteered to search Ryūchi Cave, but Uchiha Minamoto warned that Orochimaru’s research might let him reincarnate Madara Uchiha.
• Tobirama Senju warned that an Impure World Reincarnation Madara Uchiha could be far stronger than the reincarnated Hashirama Senju.

Uchiha Minamoto resumed the Five Kage Summit with Konoha’s powerful delegation and laid out the recent attacks, including Fourth Kazekage Rasa’s assault. As Chiyo argued that Sunagakure was also a victim because Rasa had been dead, Ōnoki accused her village of using the incident as a scheme, and Minamoto called it suspicious.

• Chiyo and Ebizo arrived early after learning that Konoha’s past Hokage had returned and seeing how powerful the village had become.

• Asked for his view, Uchiha Minamoto said the incident was suspicious.

At the Five Kage Summit, Uchiha Minamoto revealed that Orochimaru, Kakuzu, and Sasori of the Red Sands had assassinated Rasa and abducted Gaara, then proposed that the Five Great Shinobi Villages form an alliance against the Akatsuki.
