Nine-Tails ran out of chakra before he could complete the board, and Shinsei accused him of trying to welch as he raged.

• Shinsei wagered that Nine-Tails could not fill an eighty-one-square chessboard with chakra, with each square requiring twice as much as the one before it.

• Ino told Shinsei she would act as his liaison and handed him the Yamanaka Clan’s detailed mental network plan.
• Shinsei studied the proposal, which suggested using Sharingan as network nodes and warned that ordinary Sharingan might not resist the Ten-Tails’ Infinite Tsukuyomi.
