• Senju Chen realized Guy could provide data on the Eight Gates Released Formation and considered activating the Gates through regenerating White Zetsu Puppets to create a mass-produced suicide force.

Senju Chen recruited Might Guy for life-threatening special training as part of his Eight Gates mass-production plan, then examined Kurama Yakumo and discovered her mental energy vastly exceeded what her frail body could withstand. The chapter left Chen and Amado considering how to handle Yakumo’s condition, with Amado urging them to abandon physical enhancement.

• Senju Chen warned Might Guy that the special training could put his life at risk, and Guy signed the consent form without reading it.

Amado proposed accelerating Kurama Yakumo’s spiritual transformation into a god, but Senju Chen argued that the untested plan risked her life and offered to strengthen her body first. Yakumo chose to trust Senju Chen’s plan, hoping to live like a normal child before deciding whether to pursue godhood.

• Amado told Anko and Kurenai Yuhi that Kurama Yakumo’s weakness meant her soul was breaking free of her body and proposed helping her become a god through drugs and equipment.

Kurama Yakumo chose to pursue a stronger body so she could live an ordinary life, and Senju Chen began her treatment using the Hive’s advanced life-support equipment. The first enhancement triggered a severe reaction in Yakumo’s soul, revealing a dark-red energy within it.

• Kurama Yakumo told Senju Chen she wanted to become strong enough to go to school, make friends, and enjoy the sunshine.
• Amado accepted Senju Chen’s safer treatment approach and asked to monitor Yakumo’s mental power and physical changes throughout her enhancement.
• Senju Chen sent Kurenai Yuhi and Anko to take Yakumo to rest, then ordered Amado to prepare the S-01 life-support pod and connect the Soul Medium Tomographic Scanner.
• Yakumo entered the pod, and Amado began stage-one cellular activation and muscle fiber remodeling with T-2 Tailed Beast cell activation fluid and chakra pulses.
• The scanner detected a severe rejection response as dark-red energy expanded inside Yakumo’s soul and devoured her blue soul energy.
• Senju Chen reacted with surprise, recognizing that the dark energy was still present.

Senju Chen discovered that Ido was a separate monster of negative emotions hidden inside Kurama Yakumo and devised a plan to rebuild her body while using the entity as resistance training. The soul surgery began, but Ido awakened and attacked Yakumo’s soul as Senju Chen prepared to intervene with the Spirit Transformation Technique.

• Amado identified the dark red entity inside Kurama Yakumo as a separate personality made of negative emotions and proposed extracting it from her soul.
• Senju Chen soothed Yakumo with his mental energy, rejected extraction until it could be guaranteed safe, and ordered Amado to use her soul to repair her body while making the monster a pressure source.
• Amado began the procedure by injecting T-2 Tailed Beast cell activation fluid into Yakumo’s life-support pod.
• Senju Chen’s team stimulated Ido, which erupted into scarlet tendrils and began tearing at Yakumo’s soul as her vital signs plummeted.
• Senju Chen closed his eyes and began using the Spirit Transformation Technique.

Senju Chen completed Kurama Yakumo’s treatment by restraining Ido and using its spiritual energy to help rebuild her body. Yakumo awoke healthy but physically weak, and Chen planned rehabilitation training for her at an experimental base in the Land of Waterfalls.

• Senju Chen subdued Ido and forced it to supply spiritual energy for Yakumo’s recovery.
