Chapter Summaries

Tsubasa decided to recruit and personally train disciples from across the Shinobi World to create more Immortal Kings before the Ōtsutsuki arrived. He announced a three-stage selection process and ordered the leaders to spread the news, setting the entire world abuzz.

• Tsubasa saw that Tian Yu, Tenchu, Tian Mai, and Tian Flying Swallow remained stuck at Peak Golden Core despite their talent and resources.

• The leaders pledged to carry out Tsubasa's order, and news of the recruitment spread throughout the Shinobi World.

After months of testing, thirty-eight immortal-grade candidates gathered at the Immortal Venerable Hall to compete for a chance to become Immortal King Tsubasa’s disciples.

Tsubasa struggled to hold off Ōtsutsuki Taku, Ōtsutsuki Gō, and Ōtsutsuki Gen until Zombie Orochimaru arrived and destroyed one of Gen’s clones. With the battle turning into a two-on-three, Gen chose to fight Orochimaru while Gō and Taku targeted Tsubasa.

• Tian Yueqing and the others departed with the children, while Tsubasa watched them go and prepared to face the enemy alone.
