Chapter Summaries

After taking over Gato’s assets, Kenya built the Iron Fist Chamber of Commerce into a booming business selling Black Iron Wood to nobles and merchants across the Shinobi World. The chapter ends with Kato Yosuke warning Kenya that Konoha’s higher-ups, especially Root, have become suspicious of the timber’s origins.

• Kenya took Gato’s property deeds and vault keys, then had Zabuza announce that he controlled the Land of Waves.
• Kenya made Kato Yosuke chief administrator of the Iron Fist Chamber of Commerce and approved his plan to sell Black Iron Wood.

• Kenya used the chamber’s profits to buy supplies for his base and recruit wandering ninja as guards.
• Yosuke warned Kenya that Konoha’s leaders, especially Root, were investigating the source of the Black Iron Wood.

Danzo discovered that Senju Kenya’s Iron Fist Chamber of Commerce was selling mutated black wood and ordered a Root squad to destroy its warehouses and capture Kenya. Kenya prepared a trap by moving the valuable goods to a deserted island, where Root’s masked elites approached through the sea fog.

• Kenya told Yosuke to move the valuable goods to the deserted island and make the warehouses appear weakly guarded.
• A few days later, more than twenty Root elites sailed through the sea fog toward the deserted island.

Kinoe led a Root squad to Kenya’s island hideout, where Zabuza and Kenya defeated them with their own poison gas. Kenya had the incapacitated ninja stripped of their equipment and clothes, then demanded a ransom from Danzo.

• Kenya, Zabuza, and Haku stripped the paralyzed Root squad of their valuables and left them in their underwear.
• Kenya told Kinoe to send Danzo a ransom demand of one million ryo per captive, threatening to spread photos of the squad if Danzo refused.

Kenya forced Danzo to pay twenty-five million ryo to ransom Root's captured squad, then humiliated the envoy who delivered the money. The chapter ended when Kato Yosuke reported that the chamber of commerce's fleet had found an enormous white snakeskin at sea.

• Kenya sent Danzo a ransom demand, threatening to spread Haku's indecent sketches of the captured Root squad around Konoha.

• The envoy collected the captives, and Kenya gave the money to Kato Yosuke to record and use for bonuses for Zabuza and Haku.
• Kato Yosuke told Kenya that the chamber of commerce's fleet had discovered an enormous white snakeskin near a deep-sea trench.

Kenya took Haku fishing off the Land of Waves to draw out the person behind the giant white snakeskin, and Orochimaru appeared, hoping to capture Kenya for experiments. As Orochimaru attacked with a swarm of venomous snakes, Kenya revealed his powerful Armament Haki and prepared to strike back.

• Orochimaru attacked Kenya and Haku with Multiple Hidden Shadow Snake Hands, releasing a swarm of venomous snakes.
• Kenya told Haku to stay calm, coated his right arm in Armament Haki, and challenged Orochimaru to withstand his punch.

• Kenya landed on the fishing boat and called out to Orochimaru, who crawled from the snake’s remains with his neck tilted to the left.

Kenya overwhelmed Orochimaru on the rocky shore, swinging him into the rocks despite Orochimaru shedding his skin and summoning venomous snakes. As Orochimaru neared defeat, he used Earth Release: Golden Cicada Shell Shedding to escape.

• Orochimaru shed his skin to heal, but Kenya’s lingering power still weighed down his body.
• Kenya grabbed Orochimaru by his snake tail and slammed him back and forth into the rocky shore.
• Orochimaru summoned thousands of venomous snakes, but Kenya’s strength and Armament Haki destroyed them before they could reach him.
• Orochimaru was badly injured and, fearing his body would be crushed, used Earth Release: Golden Cicada Shell Shedding.

Kenya drove Orochimaru off and claimed his submarine, along with its mobile laboratory and supplies, for the Iron Fist Chamber of Commerce. Orochimaru recovered at a secret base and vowed revenge while Kenya’s haul was unloaded on the deserted island.
