Chapter Summaries

Uya clashed with Madara Uchiha, who was controlling Nagato, and withstood the Rinnegan’s power, forcing Nagato to retreat. Afterward, Uya recognized the danger Madara posed and resolved to grow stronger.

• Madara Uchiha used Shinra Tensei against Uya’s power of tremors, but Nagato’s body took the greater damage and he spat blood.
• Madara Uchiha sent a wave of muddy water at Uya and the others, then vanished from the battlefield with Nagato.
• Uya said Nagato could not yet wield the Rinnegan’s full power and worried that Madara Uchiha would target him.
• Uya decided to open more gates of the True Eight Gates Released Formation so he could resist the Rinnegan’s power.
• Konan apologized for bringing Nagato back, and Uya reassured her that his actions were not her fault.

Uya stayed in the Land of Rain to investigate Nagato’s Rinnegan and continue protecting Konan and Yahiko after the war. Jiraiya and Tsunade returned to report the discovery, while news of Uya and the Sannin defeating Hanzo began shocking the Shinobi World.

• Jiraiya questioned Uya about whether he had known about the Rinnegan, and Uya said Nagato had not appeared when he first met Konan and Yahiko.
• Uya refused to return with the Sannin, choosing to investigate the Rinnegan and stay with Konan and Yahiko.
• Orochimaru warned that Uya could not handle the Rinnegan alone, then left while considering its power.
• Jiraiya decided to report the Rinnegan’s appearance, and Tsunade told Uya to be careful before leaving.
• Uya led Konan and Yahiko away after the Sannin departed.
• News spread that Konoha had won the war and that Uya, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade had defeated Hanzo, leaving the major ninja villages eager to confirm the report.

More than half a year after the battle with Hanzo, Uya stayed in the Land of Rain, training Konan and Yahiko while completing the second stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique. He failed to develop its third stage and planned to visit Kumogakure, but his body had grown strong enough to attempt opening the fourth gate.

• Hanzo tacitly confirmed Uya’s victory, making Uya and the name Konoha Shura prominent throughout the shinobi world.
• The Second Shinobi World War shifted into years of localized fighting as Konoha invaded the Land of Wind, the Land of Lightning attacked the Land of Earth, and the Land of Water waited.
• Uya remained in the Land of Rain, teaching Konan and Yahiko and training his body while clashes continued among Konoha, Stone, and Sand ninja.
• Uya completed the second stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique but repeatedly failed to create its third stage and concluded he would need to visit Kumogakure.
• Uya determined his body could now handle the fourth gate, rested to recover his chakra, and saw Konan and Yahiko training in the rain.

Uya taught Konan Tree Climbing and Water Walking, then left her to practice while he checked on Yahiko. After his chakra recovered, Uya attempted to open the Fourth Gate of the True Eight Gates Released Formation and broke through it.

• Uya advised Konan to strengthen her chakra and demonstrated Tree Climbing, which she mastered with ease.
• Uya took Konan to a river, where she learned to stand and walk on the water but initially fell when attempting ninjutsu.
• Konan practiced until she could perform ninjutsu on the water without falling, and Uya then went to check on Yahiko's training.
• Uya returned to his room after his chakra had nearly recovered and prepared to open the Fourth Gate of the True Eight Gates Released Formation.
• Uya used the power of the first three gates and the Power of Tremors to break through the Fourth Gate.

Uya opened the fourth gate of the True Eight Gates Released Formation, bringing his chakra and Quake Release to Kage-level power and greatly increasing his speed. Unable to advance further for now, he reviewed intelligence about Nagato and the Kusanagi Sword while continuing to watch for the third stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique.

• Uya stabilized the fourth gate after half a month, raising his chakra reserves beyond elite jonin level and reaching Kage level.
• Uya's Quake Release advanced to its fourth stage, letting his punches shatter low-tier S-rank ninjutsu and contend with high-tier S-rank attacks.
• Uya's speed increased so much that Hatake Sakumo could no longer keep up, while Hanzo of the Salamander could only hope to react.
• Uya reviewed nearly a year of intelligence, including reports that Hiruzen Sarutobi had sent Anbu to search the Land of Rain for Nagato without success.
• Uya focused on intelligence about the Kusanagi Sword and continued keeping an eye out for the third stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique.

After learning that the Totsuka Blade and Ame-no-Habaki Sword might be found through the Land of Rain’s underground black market, Uya traveled there to investigate. He left the market’s patrons stunned when he killed a ninja who tried to throw him out, revealing himself as the feared Konoha Shura.

• Uya read Anbu intelligence linking the Totsuka Blade and Ame-no-Habaki Sword to underground black markets and decided to investigate in the Land of Rain.
• Uya informed Konan and Yahiko, then traveled to a town where the Land of Rain’s underground black market was located.
• Uya entered the market without a mask and went to its intelligence trading area as other ninja wondered why he looked familiar.
• A ninja tried to grab Uya and throw him out, so Uya slammed him into the ground and asked whether killing was permitted there.
• The intelligence trader recognized Uya as Konoha Shura and told him he would not have to deal with the corpse.

Uya learned that the Heavenly Totsuka Blade belonged to Bloody Hand and that the Ame-no-Habaki Sword was in Sunagakure, so he set out toward the Land of Wind. Kakuzu ambushed him on the way, and their battle began with Kakuzu unleashing multiple combined elemental attacks.

• Uya paid for information in the underground black market and learned that Bloody Hand held the Heavenly Totsuka Blade and the Ame-no-Habaki Sword was in Sunagakure.
• Uya left the black market and killed several bounty hunters who tried to ambush him.
• Kakuzu attacked Uya with combined Fire Style and Wind Release, but Uya shattered the flames with a punch.
• Uya recognized Kakuzu as one of the underground black market's ace assassins, and Kakuzu revealed his masks and launched attacks combining several chakra natures.

Uya killed Kakuzu after overpowering his five-nature ninjutsu, then returned to his lodging and began developing his vibration-based sensory ability. By listening to the rain, he transformed his dark perception into a world where he could sense each raindrop’s path.

• Uya used a Shockwave Slash to break Kakuzu’s combined attack and destroy two of his hearts.
• Kakuzu tried to flee, but Uya pursued him, destroyed his remaining hearts, and killed him with his sword.
• Uya returned to Konan and Yahiko, who had reached Chunin strength, and decided to improve his sensing before going to Sunagakure.
• Uya sat outside with his eyes closed and sensed Yahiko’s kunai and Konan’s Paper Shuriken through their vibrations.
• Uya focused on the falling rain until he could perceive individual raindrops and their trajectories.

Uya refined his ability to sense vibrations until he could perceive the surrounding world in black and white, then discovered White Zetsu had been secretly monitoring him. He left the wooden house at tremendous speed, startling Konan.

• Uya used precise vibration control to split falling raindrops with the Kusanagi Sword, then realized his ordinary senses interfered with sensing vibrations.
• After years without progress, Uya blocked out his five senses and perceived the ground and nearby surroundings through air movement and vibrations.
• Uya sensed underground terrain by sending the Power of Tremors through the ground, but his expanding perception was interrupted.
• Konan worried that Uya would soon leave the Land of Rain and resolved to train until she satisfied him.
• Uya extended his perception again and discovered White Zetsu hiding nearby, whom he suspected Madara Uchiha had sent to watch him.
• Uya acted as if nothing was wrong, then shattered the ground and shot away through the rain as Konan watched in surprise.

Uya captured and killed a White Zetsu clone that had been spying on him, then sent a warning to Madara Uchiha. White Zetsu delivered the message, leaving Madara shaken by Uya’s apparent knowledge of his plan.

• Uya detected White Zetsu, pulled him from the ground, and demanded to know how long he had been watching.
• White Zetsu revealed he had watched Uya since his victory over Hanzo of the Salamander, and Uya ordered him to warn Madara Uchiha not to interfere.
• Uya killed the White Zetsu clone, and Konan found him beside its remains before they returned to training and went to eat.
• White Zetsu reported the encounter to Madara Uchiha, who was shocked that Uya knew about his plan.

Uya improved his Shockwave Sensing and prepared to leave for Sunagakure. Before he departed, Konan asked what he thought about war, and Uya urged her to focus on becoming strong enough to protect herself and those around her.

• Madara Uchiha was shaken by Uya’s words and realized he could not understand Uya’s origins or true nature.
• Uya failed to make his Shockwave Sensing perceive color, but learned to use it alongside his restored senses and track movement within roughly one kilometer.
• Uya concluded that his sensing could help him resist genjutsu and make infiltrating Sunagakure easier, so he prepared to leave.
• Konan asked Uya what he thought about war and Yahiko’s goal of ending it.
• Uya told Konan that gods and Hashirama Senju had failed to prevent later wars, and that she should strengthen herself so war could not harm her or those she protected.

Uya advised Konan to adopt another person’s will as her purpose, and she accepted his guidance. He left the Land of Rain, crossed into the Land of Wind, and stopped at a small oasis town while traveling through the desert.

• Uya told Konan that she could make someone else’s ideas her own, and Konan accepted his will as her teacher.
• Uya passed Amegakure without entering and continued searching for Nagato, whom his Shockwave Sensing had not detected.
• Uya crossed from the rainy Land of Rain into the dry Land of Wind and entered the desert with a map and a direction-finding tool.
• Uya reached the first small oasis town he had encountered and stopped there briefly.

Uya learned about the war between Konoha and Sunagakure, then infiltrated Sunagakure while searching for the other Kusanagi Sword. The sword in his palm reacted as he moved deeper into the village, confirming that the weapon was nearby.

• Uya overheard that Konoha's forces had advanced into the Land of Wind, then learned that Hatake Sakumo and Jiraiya were attacking Sunagakure while Tsunade treated the wounded near the front.
• Uya lured two Sunagakure ninja into the desert, killed them with his Power of Tremors, and used the Transformation Technique to take one ninja's appearance.
• Uya traveled to Sunagakure and slipped over its towering walls without being detected.
• Uya used Shockwave Sensing to avoid the village's sentries and observed that Sunagakure had fewer sensory ninja and defenses than Konoha.
• As Uya ventured deeper into Sunagakure, the Kusanagi Sword sealed in his palm grew hot, indicating that the other Kusanagi Sword was nearby.

Uya tracked the other Kusanagi Sword to Sunagakure's Anbu headquarters and charged inside after deciding he could not sneak in. He cut through the guards and pushed deep into the building, while an Anbu tool keeper dismissed the intrusion as a joke.

• Uya sensed the Kusanagi Sword inside Sunagakure's Anbu headquarters beside the Kazekage Building.
• Uya abandoned any attempt at stealth and charged through the headquarters entrance.
• Uya killed the Anbu ninja who confronted him and cut down captains as he fought deeper inside.
• Sunagakure's sensory ninja alerted the Anbu and reported Uya's attack to the Third Kazekage.
• An Anbu tool keeper received news of the intrusion but dismissed the attacker as a doomed scout or spy.

Uya infiltrated Sunagakure Anbu headquarters, killed a guard, and claimed the Ame-no-Habaki Sword, leaving only the Heavenly Totsuka Blade to find. As Sunagakure Anbu gathered to trap him, he raced toward the front entrance to fight his way back out.

• Uya killed a Sunagakure Anbu guard who recognized him as Konoha Shura.
• Uya used a connection to draw the Ame-no-Habaki Sword from its stone box and established a Summoning Contract with it.
• Uya sensed the Anbu's preparations and decided to escape through the front entrance rather than break through the rear wall.
• Uya sped toward the gathered Sunagakure Anbu, shocking their sensory ninja with his speed and unexpected direction.
• The sensory ninja relayed Uya's position and urged the Anbu to stop him before he could escape.

Uya appeared inside Sunagakure's Anbu base, killed the Anbu ninjas there, and encountered Sunagakure's Anbu Captain. The captain recognized Uya and prepared to fight him, believing he could defeat him.

• Uya appeared behind the Sunagakure Anbu and revealed that he had killed the sensory ninjas.
• Uya used Quake Release: Air Shatter to destroy the Anbu ninjas' defenses, then slaughtered the survivors.
• Sunagakure's Anbu Captain entered the base alone, and Uya walked toward him.
• The captain recognized Uya, recalled his battle record, and decided to kill him, underestimating his strength.

Sunagakure's Anbu Captain challenged Uya with increasingly powerful Wind Release techniques, and Uya effortlessly shattered his first attack with a finger flick. The captain unleashed his ultimate Super Wind Blade, which descended on Uya as Uya prepared to face it seriously.

• Sunagakure's Anbu Captain attacked Uya with Wind Release: Wind Blade, but Uya stopped and shattered it with a flick of his finger.
• Shocked by Uya's strength, Sunagakure's Anbu Captain used Wind Release: Super Wind Blade, his most powerful technique.
• The Super Wind Blade pierced the Anbu base's domed roof, drawing awe from the Sunagakure ninja outside.
• Sunagakure's Anbu Captain swung the enormous blade down at Uya, splitting the base and forcing the ground and sand apart with its pressure.
• Uya acknowledged the technique's power and said he would get serious as the blade descended toward him.

Uya shattered the Sunagakure Anbu Captain’s ultimate Wind Release technique with his power of tremors and killed him. He reflected on the barrier between Kage and Super Kage levels, then turned his gaze toward the remaining Sunagakure ninja.

• Uya punched the descending Super Wind Blade and shattered it with his fourth-stage power of tremors.
• The Sunagakure ninja recognized Uya as the Konoha Shura and watched him charge the exhausted Anbu Captain.
• Uya killed the Anbu Captain with a slash as the captain struggled to accept his defeat.
• Uya reflected on the captain’s failed attempt to surpass the barrier between Kage and Super Kage levels, comparing him to Might Duy and Might Guy.
• Uya looked across the Sunagakure ninja, leaving them chilled with fear.

Uya’s arrival in Sunagakure left the Sand Ninja terrified after he killed their Anbu Captain, and the Third Kazekage finally confronted him. The chapter ended with Uya calmly answering the Kazekage and chuckling as the two faced off.

• The Sunagakure ninja recognized Uya as the Konoha Shura and retreated after he killed their Anbu Captain.
• Uya advanced while the Sand Ninja backed away, and he reflected on his changed mindset and Sunagakure’s weakness in sealing techniques.
• The Third Kazekage confronted Uya, and Uya sensed that the Kazekage possessed immense chakra and powerful Magnet Release.
• The Third Kazekage accused Uya of showing Sunagakure no regard, and the Sand Ninja learned that Uya had invaded alone.
• Uya calmly asked whether he was not allowed to visit Sunagakure alone, then chuckled.

Uya faced the Third Kazekage in Sunagakure after the village evacuated its civilians. The Third Kazekage’s iron sand attacks failed to break through Uya’s tremor power, so he launched a sweeping barrage from every direction.

• Uya taunted the Third Kazekage and the Sand Ninja, who fell silent under his indifferent gaze.
• The Third Kazekage waited until Sunagakure’s civilians were nearly evacuated, then unleashed Magnet Release and gathered iron sand.
