Senju Kenya defected from Konoha, rescued Hizashi Hyuga, and built a stronghold and commerce empire with Haku and Zabuza. After confronting Danzo’s Root and turning their attack into a ransom, Kenya faced Orochimaru at sea, who wanted to study his bloodline and abilities.
Kenya defeated Orochimaru, built his strength and power overseas, and brought Tsunade and his allies back to Konoha. After forcing his way through Root’s blockade and sponsoring the Chunin Ninja Exams, he headed for the Senju estate while Danzo enlisted Orochimaru to kill him.
Senju Kenya secured his demands from Hiruzen and began drawing Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, and Hinata into his orbit while dominating the Chunin Ninja Exams. The arc ended with Orochimaru driven off, the surviving candidates gathered in the tower, and Hinata beginning strength training with Kenya’s iron knuckles.
Hinata defeated Neji in the preliminaries, while Kenya later stopped Shukaku’s rampage and confronted Orochimaru during the attack on Konoha. After breaking Orochimaru’s control over the reanimated Hashirama and Tobirama, Kenya faced Orochimaru’s Eight-Headed Serpent.
Kenya and Tsunade dismantled Konoha’s old leadership, won the major clans’ support, and rebuilt the village under a new order. Danzō’s crimes were exposed at his public execution, but he revealed stolen Sharingan and Hashirama cells, survived Kenya’s crushing blow, and emerged with a Sharingan spent.
Senju Kenya rebuilt Konoha through heavy industry, forced the daimyo to recognize his authority, and raided the Underground Exchange for its treasury. On the road back, he crushed Hidan in a fight and turned his attention to the terrified Kakuzu.
Senju Kenya robbed Kakuzu, strengthened Konoha, and brought Orochimaru into his industrial venture before sailing to the Land of Water. He freed Yagura from Obito Uchiha’s control, helped Mei Terumi become Mizukage, and secured a lucrative alliance while Mei continued pursuing him.
Kenya attended the Five Kage Summit and defeated the Raikage and Ōnoki after they challenged his authority. Gaara, Mei, and the samurai pledged allegiance, while the defeated leaders surrendered before spatial ripples appeared above the hall.
No recap yet. An arc gets one once it has 25 chapters.
