Chapter Summaries

Uya destroyed Princess Kaguya’s will as it tried to act through the Shinigami, then shattered the Shinigami itself. The backlash knocked down everyone else in Konoha, mortally wounded Hiruzen Sarutobi, and damaged Orochimaru’s soul as Hiruzen died.

• Princess Kaguya’s will used the Shinigami to attack Uya, but Uya blasted the attack apart.
• Princess Kaguya’s scattered will began gathering around the Shinigami, alarming Uya, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru, and the others.

• The Mental Shock aftereffects knocked down everyone in Konoha except Uya, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Orochimaru.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi spat blood and fell after the Shinigami was destroyed, while Orochimaru severed their connection at the cost of part of his soul.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Orochimaru’s soul suffer damage, smiled, and died.

Uya stopped Princess Kaguya’s will from reviving and left the devastated Konoha after helping its people recover. As the Shinobi World grew unstable, Black Zetsu began a new plan, Sasuke confronted Uchiha Itachi, and Kakashi became the Fifth Hokage.

• Orochimaru fled Konoha after Hiruzen Sarutobi’s Reaper Death Seal injured his soul, while Kakashi and others recovered amid the destruction.
• Uya dispersed Princess Kaguya’s will, revived several people in Konoha, and sent Kimimaro and his companions back to Amegakure.
• Black Zetsu concluded that Uya was a greater threat than expected and decided to begin his plan, revealing that Kabuto Yakushi was beneath him and that eerie coffins surrounded them.
• Sasuke Uchiha confronted Uchiha Itachi in a rain-soaked ruined town and told him that he had seen his death, while White Zetsu watched.
• After Hiruzen Sarutobi died and Jiraiya refused the position, Kakashi Hatake became the Fifth Hokage and worked to stabilize Konoha as unrest spread through the Shinobi World, while the Land of Rain remained peaceful.

Tsunade and Konan learned that Moryo had broken its seal in the Land of Demons, and Uya decided to go there himself. As Shion and the officials waited for help, the ground began to shake as Moryo’s army approached.

• Konan brought Tsunade a report that Moryo had escaped its seal and raised its puppet army in the Land of Demons.
• Tsunade agreed that Konan should respond and considered incorporating the Land of Demons and the Land of Swamps into the Land of Rain.
• Uya appeared behind Konan, took the report, and said he would make the trip himself.
• At the priestess’s palace, Shion and the officials waited anxiously for ninja to arrive as the puppets drew near.
• The ground began to tremble in a steady rhythm, and panic broke out in the palace.

Uya entered the Land of Demons palace as the puppet army approached and confronted the priestess Shion, whose power of foresight interested him. After repeatedly rapping her forehead until she stopped shouting at him, he asked whether she had foreseen him, while the guards outside watched the unstoppable army advance.

• The palace officials fled as the puppet army neared, and guards urged Shion to escape.
• Uya arrived alone, identified himself as a ninja from the Land of Rain, and approached Shion to investigate her power of foresight.
• Shion rebuked Uya for staring at her and doubted he could protect her, so he repeatedly rapped her forehead and subdued her sharp tongue.
• Uya asked Shion whether she had experienced any premonitions about him.
• The puppet army advanced on the palace as the guards admitted that only Shion could seal the monster.

Uya carried Shion out of the palace despite her warnings and effortlessly turned the approaching puppet army to dust. He then flew off to confront Moryo, leaving Shion and the guards stunned by the arrival of the legendary God of the Shinobi World.

• Shion jumped onto Uya and urged him to take a secret passage, but Uya carried her toward the palace entrance instead.
• Uya walked straight toward the puppet army as Shion and the guards feared they would be killed.
• Uya waved his hand, freezing the puppet army and reducing it entirely to dust.
• Uya told Shion the puppets could not hurt her, then flew into the sky to deal with Moryo.
• The guards recognized Uya as the God of the Shinobi World and realized the Land of Demons had been saved.

After restoring Shion and helping bring the Land of Demons and the Land of Swamps into the Land of Rain, Uya sensed that he had reached the threshold of the final gate of the True Eight Gates Released Formation. He left Amegakure and opened the Eighth Gate in the sky, unleashing the power of all seven previous gates into it.

• Uya transferred Moryo's power into Shion, and Tsunade's administration incorporated the Land of Demons and the Land of Swamps into the Land of Rain.
• Uya's soul completed its final transformation and reached Princess Kaguya's level, while he considered how the world's course had changed.
• Uya sensed that the final gate was close to opening and left Amegakure to avoid damaging the village.
• Uya activated the first seven gates, whose immense chakra remained under control within his perfect Six Paths Body.
• Uya's Power of Tremors shook the connected gates, and their combined power surged into and fully opened the Eighth Gate of the True Eight Gates Released Formation.

Uya opened the final gate of the True Eight Gates Released Formation and gained perfect control over all the power in his body without sacrificing his life force. He tested his new ability to transform and travel through space, then demonstrated his precise control of vibration by punching into the void near the moon’s former location.

• Uya opened the final gate and realized the formation let him perfectly control all his body's power rather than absorb more Natural Energy.
• Uya discovered that his body could transform into any element and become intangible to travel through space, though he could not control time.
• Uya transformed into a cloud, traveled to the Land of Rain's border, and tested changing his hand into different elements.
• Uya traveled to the moon's former location and punched a hole in the void, concentrating his vibrations into a small area.

Uya examined the turbulent void before returning to the Shinobi World, where the reincarnated former Kage attacked the Five Great Shinobi Villages. In Konoha, Kakashi refused Tobirama’s demand to hand over Naruto, just as Hashirama began a powerful jutsu that threatened the village.

• Hashirama Senju's Deep Forest Emergence overwhelmed the Konoha Ninja's attacks and flattened nearly half of Konoha before he managed to stop it.
• Tobirama Senju urged the surviving Konoha Ninja to retreat, while Hashirama Senju blamed him for creating Impure World Reincarnation.
• The injured Konoha Ninja urged Kakashi Hatake to hand Naruto Uzumaki over because they could not defeat Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.
• Might Guy arrived beside Kakashi Hatake, challenged his hesitation, removed his Jonin uniform, and placed his thumb over his heart.
• Kakashi Hatake recognized what Might Guy was preparing to do and cried out in alarm.

Might Guy opened the Eighth Gate to protect Naruto and Konoha, then fought Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju. He destroyed Hashirama’s Wood Human and Wood Expulsion defenses, leaving Hashirama shattered while Tobirama remained in the battle.

• Uya appeared, restored Guy's life force, closed the Eighth Gate, and told him to call him teacher.
• Kakashi took Guy to the Medical Squad, while Uya turned to face Hashirama and Tobirama and told Kakashi to leave the rest to him.

Uya confronted the resurrected Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, whose bodies were being controlled, and agreed to fight Hashirama. As Hashirama unleashed Deep Forest Emergence, Uya answered with an Evening Elephant far more powerful than Might Guy’s.

• Kakashi led the Konoha Ninja away from Uya and the Senju brothers, fearing the scale of their battle.
• Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju warned Uya not to stand in their way, but Uya calmly said they would find out whether he could stop them by fighting.

• Hashirama Senju sent a towering mass of trees crashing toward Uya, while the distant Konoha Ninja watched in alarm.
• Uya struck with Evening Elephant, unleashing a pillar of light far larger than Might Guy’s attack.

• Uya smiled at Tobirama's warning, confident that his current power could overcome Flying Thunder God.
• Hashirama Senju entered Sage Mode and summoned Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, then began its Top Transformed Buddha attack on Uya.

Uya countered Hashirama Senju’s strongest attack by punching open and manipulating space, destroying the Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands and restricting Tobirama Senju’s Flying Thunder God. Hashirama Senju asked Uya to use Sealing Jutsu on them as their Impure World Reincarnation bodies recovered.

• Hashirama Senju unleashed the Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands’ countless fists against Uya.

• Hashirama Senju asked Uya to use Sealing Jutsu on him and Tobirama Senju.

After former Kage attacked the other great villages and captured the Tailed Beasts, the Five Great Shinobi Villages called a summit in Amegakure to form an alliance against the mastermind.

• Uya used the Truth-Seeking Orb Scepter to destroy Hashirama Senju's and Tobirama Senju's Impure World Reincarnation bodies, sending their souls back to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Madara Uchiha was revived before his replacement Rinnegan had finished developing and went to fight the Allied Shinobi Forces. He overwhelmed the Third Division with a massive Fire Style attack, while Black Zetsu moved to carry out his plans for Indra and Asura.

• Madara Uchiha learned the Shinobi World had united for war and descended on a distant battlefield, while Black Zetsu left Kabuto's body and approached the wounded Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.
