Chapter Summaries

Uchiha Yuan fought Uchiha Madara at the Valley of the End while Kaguya subdued the Jinchuriki and used them to revive Otsutsuki Kaguya. The revival began as Black Zetsu celebrated, and Yuan and Madara paused their battle to react.

• Uchiha Madara tested Yuan with Tengai Shinsei, but Yuan destroyed the meteor and swept its fragments into space with his Tenseigan Chakra Mode.
• Yuan sensed four Limbo figures as his battle with Madara escalated, while Kaguya reassured the gathered Jinchuriki in Konoha.
• Kaguya used genjutsu to subdue the Jinchuriki, seized Killer B, Han, and Roshi, and gathered the tailed beasts inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
• Two-Tails Matatabi left enough Chakra to preserve Yugito Nii's life, but Han and Roshi's tailed beasts did not leave enough Chakra to save them.
• The Demonic Statue transformed as Black Zetsu entered Konoha and declared that Otsutsuki Kaguya had been revived.
• Uchiha Madara realized Black Zetsu had advanced the Eye of the Moon plan, and Yuan told him that he had been abandoned.

Yuan stalled Uchiha Madara by questioning his Eye of the Moon Plan, then revived Hashirama Senju to confront him while Yuan returned to deal with Konoha. As Hashirama and Madara began a massive battle at the Valley of the End, the Divine Tree’s flower bloomed and the moon appeared.

• Yuan questioned Madara about governing the dream world and whether he cared about the Uchiha Clan, prompting Madara to reflect on his motives.
• Yuan used Impure World Reincarnation, White Zetsu, the Contract Seal Formula, and Yang Release to revive Hashirama Senju in a living body.

• Yuan left Hashirama to confront Madara and vanished toward Konoha, while the two former comrades traded powerful Wood Release and Susanoo techniques.
• Hagoromo Otsutsuki watched their battle and wondered whether they could be trusted with his power as the Divine Tree’s flower bloomed and the moon emerged.

Jigen urged the Land of Fire to prepare for a possible conflict with Konoha as the Divine Tree began to grow. At the Valley of the End, Madara defeated Hashirama with Limbo and headed for Konoha, where Yuan confronted Black Zetsu and Kaguya and realized how Kaguya’s resurrection had been arranged.

• Yuan concluded that Black Zetsu had used the Dragon Vein to travel to the past and influence him into creating Kaguya.
• Yuan remained calm before Black Zetsu and Kaguya, believing Kaguya’s resurrection could help him overcome the danger of his body collapsing.

Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju tried to stop Kaguya from taking control of the Divine Tree, but Kaguya absorbed it and revived as Otsutsuki Kaguya. After overpowering Madara and Hashirama, she approached Yuan for comfort, and he bit her hard enough to draw blood.

• Uchiha Madara failed to connect to the Divine Tree or become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, and Black Zetsu revealed its betrayal and plan to revive Otsutsuki Kaguya.

• Otsutsuki Kaguya explained her plan to end war by absorbing all Chakra, then bound and drained Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara.
• Otsutsuki Kaguya approached Yuan and rested her head against him, but Yuan bit her and drew blood.

Otsutsuki Kaguya cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi and began reshaping the ninja world, while Yuan endured a painful fusion with her genes. After Hashirama and Madara died, the Sage of the Six Paths revived them and gave them sealing powers; their attempt to seal Kaguya failed when she sent them to a vast desert dimension, where Madara began investigating the meaning of their palm markings.

• Yuan acquired Kaguya's genes and Kekkei Mōra, suffering intense pain as his body began to transform.
• Kaguya unleashed the God: Nativity of a World of Trees and trapped the ninja world's humans in beautiful dreams beneath the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

• Hashirama suppressed the Divine Tree while Madara awakened a time-stopping Rinnegan ability and attacked Kaguya with Limbo Clones and Susanoo, but she remained unharmed.
• Kaguya transported Madara and Hashirama to a vast desert dimension, where Madara concluded that their sun and moon palm markings were central to her conflict with the Sage.

Yuan completed his fusion with Otsutsuki Kaguya’s genes and confronted Otsutsuki Hagoromo over his plans and the Otsutsuki Clan. He entered the Gravity Space to save Madara and Hashirama from Kaguya, then addressed her directly.

• Otsutsuki Kaguya ambushed Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara, but their clones vanished as they reached her Starting Ball Space.
• Madara and Hashirama attacked Kaguya with Yasaka Magatama and Sage Art Wood Release, but she escaped their sealing attempt and trapped them under extreme gravity.

• Yuan used Kamui to divert Kaguya’s All-Killing Ash Bones, appeared in the Gravity Space, and challenged her over her rebellion.

Yuan confronted Otsutsuki Kaguya over her plan to impose peace by absorbing humanity, then entered her Mental Space and negotiated for her withdrawal from the ninja world's affairs. As Hashirama and Madara helped free the tailed beasts, Kaguya prepared a world-destroying attack, and Yuan took the sun and moon markings from them to face her himself.

• Otsutsuki Kaguya explained that she intended to turn humanity into souls under a perfect order, and Yuan challenged her reasoning before agreeing to let victory decide the ninja world's future.
• Kaguya transformed into a giant white rabbit and attacked with God: Rabbit Hair Needle, while Madara used Limbo and Ultra Shinra Tensei to shield himself and Hashirama, and Yuan phased through the barrage with Kamui.
• Yuan entered Kaguya's Mental Space, spoke with the sealed progenitor of Chakra, and secured her agreement to stop interfering in exchange for the two keys passed down through Indra and Asura.
• Yuan urged the tailed beasts to break free, and Hashirama and Madara used Wood Release and Susanoo to pull them from Kaguya's body as she formed an Expanding Truth-Seeking Ball.
• Yuan appeared before Hashirama and Madara and drew the sun and moon markings from their hands, saying he would handle Kaguya himself.

Yuan gave Ōtsutsuki Kaguya the Sun and Moon Runes in exchange for her withdrawing from the shinobi world, allowing Kaguya to regain control of her body and help end the Infinite Tsukuyomi. As the Five Great Shinobi Villages began rebuilding and discussing peace under Konoha’s leadership, the five daimyo grew uneasy about the balance of power, especially the Land of Fire’s daimyo, who feared Konoha might no longer obey him.

• Yuan questioned Ōtsutsuki Kaguya about the Sun and Moon Runes before handing them over, and she accepted them and withdrew into Kaguya’s body as the Tailed Beasts separated from her.
• Kaguya regained her memories, felt guilty for harming Konoha’s villagers while possessed, and told Yuan she was no longer qualified to serve as Hokage.

• Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, Kakashi, and Mei Terumi helped the villages rebuild, while Konoha’s efforts eased tensions among the defeated villages.
• The five daimyo met by long-distance television, and the daimyo of the Land of Fire admitted he feared that Konoha, now dominant, would no longer heed him.

The Land of Fire daimyo met with the other four daimyo, who shared his unease about the powerful, unified Hidden Leaf Village, while Jigen urged him to help provoke conflict and began planning to draw the shinobi into a clash with the Otsutsuki. In the Hidden Leaf Village, Hashirama, Madara, Kaguya, and Yuan continued reconstruction until news arrived that the Land of Fire daimyo had convened a meeting without informing them, raising suspicions of a hidden plot.

• The Land of Fire daimyo discussed the danger of the shinobi's growing power with the other four daimyo, and the Land of Lightning daimyo defended the peace and prosperity under the Hidden Leaf Village's leadership.
• Jigen told the Land of Fire daimyo that Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara might threaten the daimyo's rule, then decided to lure powerful shinobi into an early confrontation with the Otsutsuki.
• Hashirama Senju, Uchiha Madara, Kaguya, and Yamato helped rebuild the Hidden Leaf Village, while Madara suggested housing refugees and Yuan hinted that his research could change how shinobi lived.
• An Anbu Ninja delivered word that the Land of Fire daimyo had called a meeting of all the daimyo without informing the Hidden Leaf Village.
• Yuan and the others suspected the daimyo no longer trusted the village, and Yuan wondered whether Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was influencing him.

Yuan explained how improved Yin–Yang Release and Black Receivers could let shinobi use Chakra for communication and productive work, while Konoha prepared to respond to the daimyo’s joint conference. Madara and Hashirama entered the conference as the daimyo debated how to control shinobi, leaving the assembled rulers stunned and afraid.

• Madara suggested that becoming a daimyo sounded appealing, but Hashirama and Kaguya warned that changing the shinobi system too quickly could plunge the world into chaos.
• Yuan demonstrated a living Black Receiver and explained that his improved technology could remotely transmit Chakra, information, and techniques through a modified Divine Tree.
• Kaguya, Madara, and Hashirama recognized that the technology could let ordinary people use Chakra for farming, travel, and other practical tasks.
• At the Daimyo's Residence, the Land of Fire daimyo asked the assembled rulers how they would respond to Konoha's control over the shinobi villages, and the Waterfall Country and Land of Water daimyo argued over regulating shinobi.
• Madara and Hashirama entered the conference and challenged the daimyo who had called shinobi a source of disaster, leaving the rulers intimidated and uncertain.

Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara confronted the Land of Fire's daimyo over his claims about shinobi, while Jigen's absence forced the daimyo to offer them improved welfare and rewards. Elsewhere, Isshiki sent a signal from an Otsutsuki transit palace, and Ōtsutsuki Urashiki emerged on the moon, planning to use Konoha's fighters as bait when the other Otsutsuki arrived.

• Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara challenged the Land of Fire's daimyo to explain his claim that shinobi were a source of disaster.
• The Land of Fire's daimyo discovered Jigen had left and, under pressure from Hashirama and Madara, shifted to supporting better shinobi welfare.

• Ōtsutsuki Urashiki appeared on the moon and decided to reveal himself and use Konoha's fighters as bait for the Otsutsuki expected to arrive.

Yuan and the shinobi leaders agreed to create a cross-faction force to supervise and support shinobi, while Orochimaru used the Black Receivers to investigate the nature of life. Yuan then brought Kabuto to the greatly expanded Konoha Orphanage, where Kabuto was unexpectedly greeted by Yakushi Nonō.

• Hashirama, Madara, Minato, and Yuan discussed creating a balanced force of elite shinobi to oversee and assist shinobi across the villages.
• Yuan approved the plan and returned to his laboratory, where Orochimaru described experiments in Tsukuyomi that led him to wonder whether a Creator God had shaped life.
• Yuan found Kabuto exhausted from research and persuaded him to visit the orphanage under the pretense of verifying an experiment.
• Yuan brought Kabuto to the expanded Konoha Orphanage, where Kabuto saw shinobi directing construction around what had become a satellite city.
• Kabuto stopped outside the building that had once been the orphanage, and Yakushi Nonō came out to greet him with delight.

Kabuto joined Yuan’s effort to use ninjutsu for medicine and other peaceful purposes, while Madara and Hashirama tested Chakra-enhanced rice cultivation. When the rice harvest proved mostly defective, Yuan suspected outside interference, and Fugaku encountered two pale-skinned intruders at the lunar Tenseigan fortress.

• Yuan introduced Kabuto to the orphanage children and demonstrated the Therapeutic Beds, where Kabuto recognized Yakushi Nonō and found a new purpose in medical research.
• Kabuto proposed expanding Chakra transmission for medical treatment, and Yuan pledged his support as Kabuto departed to pursue the difficult work.
• Madara and Hashirama competed to develop a Chakra-based rice-growing technique, and their seedlings rapidly matured into a golden harvest.
• Yuan and Kurama found that only about one-third of the rice met quality standards, so Yuan ordered further experiments and suspected unusual Chakra interference.
• Yuan summoned Kaguya and learned that an Otsutsuki-level presence might be disrupting Chakra applications.
• Fugaku detected two pale-skinned intruders at the lunar fortress and unleashed Susanoo as they commented on Kaguya and his faint Otsutsuki bloodline.

Fugaku encountered Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki and Kinshiki on the moon, but Yuan transferred the Moon Fortress to Konoha and prepared to face the invaders. Momoshiki and Kinshiki then hunted the tailed beasts, repeatedly losing their targets to Yuan’s space-time ninjutsu, and headed for Konoha.

• Fugaku attacked Kinshiki on the moon, but Kinshiki shattered his Susanoo before Yuan’s space-time ninjutsu transported Fugaku and the Moon Fortress away.
• Momoshiki and Kinshiki identified the ninja world as their destination and discussed harvesting Chakra Fruit, while Yuan observed them and resolved to welcome them.
• Yuan transferred the Moon Fortress beneath Konoha, where Hashirama and Madara learned about the Otsutsuki threat and Yuan assured them he had plans to handle it.
• Momoshiki and Kinshiki confronted Shukaku in the Death Desert, but Yuan’s space-time ninjutsu whisked the One-Tail away before they could capture him.
• Momoshiki and Kinshiki repeatedly failed to locate the tailed beasts, then learned that Konoha was the world’s largest armed organization and set off for the village.

Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Otsutsuki Kinshiki attacked a fabricated Konoha, forcing Yuan, Uchiha Madara, and Hashirama Senju to fight them. Madara recognized the pair’s strengths and split the battle, but Kinshiki survived Madara’s time-stopping strike and vowed to kill him.

• Naruto Uzumaki noticed Hinata Hyuga and misunderstood her invitation to walk home together, then a crushing pressure from Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Otsutsuki Kinshiki immobilized the children.
• Momoshiki and Kinshiki saw through the fake Konoha, and Hashirama Senju withdrew the Wood Release buildings as Uchiha Madara revealed the Illusion Space projection.
• Momoshiki absorbed their Chakra and turned his amplified attacks against Yuan, Madara, and Hashirama, while Kinshiki attacked them with weapons and space-time ninjutsu.
• Yuan trapped Kinshiki with the Self-Exerting Curse Binding Seal, but Kinshiki escaped; Madara then advised separating the Otsutsuki and challenged Kinshiki to taijutsu.
• Madara used his Six Tomoe Rinnegan to stop time and strike Kinshiki with Sage Art Lightning Release, but Kinshiki recovered and threatened to kill him for Lord Momoshiki.

Yuan, Hashirama, and Madara fought Momoshiki, but he absorbed Kinshiki and transformed, then trapped the three by stripping them of control over Chakra. As Momoshiki searched for another hidden Otsutsuki, the enormous orb beneath him began to crack.

• Yuan, Hashirama, and Madara attacked Momoshiki and Kinshiki, while Yuan’s Toyokumo Field left both Otsutsuki covered in spreading cracks.
• Momoshiki stopped time, absorbed Kinshiki, and swallowed the Chakra Pills made from his subordinate.
• Momoshiki transformed and gained Kinshiki’s abilities, then fought off the three ninjas with weapons, space-time techniques, and attacks aimed at Yuan.
• Momoshiki created a Kekkei Mōra beast and used its Expanding Truth-Seeking Balls to leave Yuan, Hashirama, and Madara unable to mobilize Chakra.
• Momoshiki sensed another Otsutsuki nearby and taunted the hidden presence, but the orb beneath him cracked, prompting his horrified cry.

Momoshiki’s assault was interrupted when Urashiki rescued him and revealed that he had been manipulating events. Urashiki then recounted Shibai’s ancient experiment in the Ninja World, but his account of Shibai’s fate and corpse conflicted with Momoshiki’s certainty, leaving the group with more questions about the Otsutsuki and Kaguya.

• Momoshiki’s Expanding Truth-Seeking Ball began to shatter, and Urashiki used a fishing line to absorb it, feed Momoshiki a healing pill, and mock him.
• When Momoshiki tried to seize Hashirama and Madara, Yuan bound Urashiki’s fishing line with Black Receivers, forcing Urashiki to reveal himself.
• Urashiki called off the fighting and told the group how Shibai had left a Ten-Tails sapling and Urashiki in the Ninja World to observe the Yin Yang Masters and the experiment’s results.
• Madara connected Kaguya’s power and the sun and moon markings to the ancient experiment, while Momoshiki explained that Shibai’s later Chakra Fruits gave him power over rules.
• Hashirama questioned what Urashiki meant by Shibai’s final wish, and Momoshiki claimed Shibai had ascended and remained in the Ninja World.
• Urashiki contradicted Momoshiki, saying Shibai had ascended and died, that his corpse was important, and that Isshiki and Kaguya arrived in the Ninja World at that moment.

Otsutsuki Urashiki persuaded Momoshiki and Konoha’s leaders to temporarily ally against Isshiki and pursue Shibai’s legacy. After the Otsutsuki departed, Hashirama, Madara, and Yuan planned defenses against a future war, while Yuan sought Kaguya’s confirmation of Urashiki’s claims.

• Otsutsuki Urashiki described Shibai’s legacy and urged the others to cooperate against Otsutsuki Isshiki.
• Yuan, Hashirama, Madara, Momoshiki, and Urashiki agreed to a temporary truce and exchanged contact methods.
• Hashirama proposed turning the Kamui Dimension into a refuge, and he and Madara began building shelters there.
• Yuan returned to Konoha, briefed Kaguya and the other leading ninjas, and Minato Namikaze recommended verifying Urashiki’s intelligence.
• Yuan entered Kaguya’s spiritual world and teased her about helping him because she cared about Hashirama and Madara.

Yuan learned from Otsutsuki Kaguya that Shibai’s legacy included rule-level Shinjutsu and that only Shinjutsu could oppose it, then went to Demon Country seeking surviving inheritances. Meanwhile, Long encountered Yuan at the Priestess’s residence, and Urashiki warned Jigen about Momoshiki before Jigen reaffirmed his plan to claim Yuan as a Karma vessel.

• Otsutsuki Kaguya explained that Shibai’s Shinjutsu granted absolute, rule-level abilities and that ancient inheritances in the shinobi world might preserve related powers.
• Yuan realized that acquiring Shinjutsu could help him oppose Otsutsuki Isshiki and traveled to Demon Country.
• Long followed a mysterious intruder into the Priestess’s palace and discovered that the intruder was his former Captain Yuan.
• Shion emerged with ghosts behind her, said she could foresee Long’s death but could see nothing about Yuan, and prompted Long to call for help.
• Urashiki visited Jigen and told him that Momoshiki had come to the shinobi world seeking Shibai’s legacy, while offering a possible Karma candidate.
• Jigen rejected Urashiki’s warning and declared that he would make Uchiha Yuan his Karma vessel after mastering more of Shibai’s power.

Yuan obtained the Priestess lineage’s inherited ocular power and investigated the Six Paths Box of Ultimate Bliss at Hozuki Castle. He defeated Gū and discovered memories connecting the box to Otsutsuki Shibai, though its history also involved the Sage of the Six Paths.

• Yuan questioned Miroku and Shion about the Priestess inheritance, and learned that it came from Ancient Yin Yang Masters and included a powerful Sealing Technique.
• Miroku agreed to let Yuan take the Priestess lineage’s ocular power, leaving Shion without her ability to see the future, life, and death.
• Yuan used his newly acquired eyes to find Hozuki Castle and suspected the Six Paths Box of Ultimate Bliss was connected to Otsutsuki Shibai.
• Yuan caught Mui preparing to sacrifice his son Muku, then slaughtered the people at Hozuki Castle and summoned Gū from the box with Nine-Tails Chakra.
• Yuan defeated Gū in Sage Mode and searched its memories, finding an image of Otsutsuki Shibai and questioning how the box had become associated with the Sage of the Six Paths.
