Naruto Chapter 591: Risk
Itachi bids his brother farewell and Sasuke watches him die again as the Edo Tensei is finally dispelled. Sasuka stares upwards as Itachi's body falls to the ground and Kabuto continues to be frozen by Izanami. As Sasuke tries to find the words, those who are under the influence of the Edo Tensei are starting to lose their forms. The Tsuchikage surmises the situation as he and the other Kages watch Madara emit a pillar of light and the Edo Tensei dust flutters more violently around him. Despite the disbelief of the other Kages, the Tsuchikage claims whoever dispelled the jutsu is a hero that saved many lives in the war. Dan feels that he is able to control his own movements and asks Chouza to release him. Chouza concedes and tells him to go to Tsunade before he completely disappears. Dan uses Reika no Jutsu to leave his body and he flies off in spirit form, thanking Chouza on the way. Madara decides to attack one last time before he leaves his body. Tsunade tries to counter, but the Hyakugou no Jutsu finally runs out. Tsunade falls from the loss of energy and Madara moves to strike, with the other Kages too far away to do anything. Much to everyone's surprise, including Tsunade's, she is able to evade the attack. She hears a voice and realizes that Dan saved her. Dan bids her goodbye, telling her that he will wait for her on the other side, but that Tsunade shouldn't hurry. Dan tells her that it was worth it being used by the Edo Tensei after all, fading away with a smile after kissing Tsunade on the forehead. Tsunade's forehead mark returned and the Kages comment that she renewed her chakra from another source. The Kages report that Madara is holding on to his chakra, instead of disappearing with the end of the Edo Tensei. Madara tells them that there has always been a risk to Edo Tensei, which is that if the one called using the jutsu actually knows how it is performed, he or she can break the covenant of the jutsu. The implication of his words hit the Kage, realizing that Madara is now immortal, has limitless chakra and no longer controlled by the summoner. He tells them that they should warn the summoner that forbidden techniques should be used with caution, and he prepares to unleash another attack.
Bleach Chapter 498: The Black Rescuer
Members of the twelfth division scramble to contact Ichigo at Akon's command, but they realize that while the badge was in the human world, Ichigo wasn't.

Akon gives the command to contact Uruhara, after surmising that the shop owner is with Ichigo. They contact Uruhara and Akon asks to talk to Ichigo because of their emergency, but Uruhara refuses, since Ichigo is still engaged in a battle with Kirge. Uruhara informs him about the battle and that Kirge is the captain of the Quincy hunting squad. The twelfth division members are shocked, but Akon realizes that Ichigo acted earlier than Soul Society did, making him think about Ichigo's reputation as an unpredictable man. Akon asks about Ichigo's battle and Uruhara tells him that Ichigo is able to push back Kirge. Uruhara reports that Kirge tried to seal Ichigo's bankai, but that it wasn't working, further shocking the twelfth division members. Uruhara in turn asks how Soul Society doing, telling Akon that he knows that they are under attack. Kirge tries to understand how they could not medalize Ichigo's bankai and further struggles to understand why, even with Vollstandig and absorbing monstrous amounts of reiatsu, Ichigo is able to surpass him easily. While he tries to figure out how he can deal with Ichigo's strength and speed, Ichigo asks Kirge why they try to seal the bankai and if they were doing so because they were afraid of it. While Kirge denies it, he is suddenly hit by Uruhara straight through the chest. Uruhara throws Ichigo his phone, giving him instructions to listen to Akon on the phone and to head immediately to Soul Society.

The two agree to his plan and Tsuna leaves to tell Dino and the others. Gokudera comments that Tsuna had so much burdening him, but Yamamoto tells him that Tsuna had such a calming vibe that he wouldn't hesitate to go along with his friend's plan. Gokudera worries that Tsuna is leaving him behind in terms of growth. Tsuna flies to Dino and Hibari's location, surprised that they are still fighting after Hibari's encounter with Team Mammon.

Fairy Tail Chapter 289: Tiny Fists
Despite Wendy's efforts, Chelia is able to rise after the attack and is already recovered from its effects. Jellal, still pretending to be Mystogan, debates whether Chelia is connected with Zeref and on whether he should intervene in the battle. Doranbolt is also concerned about Wendy, but his attention is on Mystogan, who he knows from previous research does not exist in their world. Jellal notices the unwanted attention from the council member. Chelia encourages Wendy to give up, but the Fairy Tail member refuses, telling her opponent that she stands there as proof that she is willing to fight for her guild. Wendy asks Chelia to fight with her earnestly, which Chelia agrees to by using the powerful attack Metsujin Ougi - Amatsu no Murakumo, much to the chagrin of her fellow guild members who know that it can potentially kill an opponent. Chelia's attack misses and their spectators deduce that she is only recovered from injury but not from fatigue. Wendy used her power to take away the fatigue in others, causing Chelia's power to go up and overshoot. Chelia acknowledges Wendy's battle tactics, and the two girls fight earnestly with each other using their tiny fists. Their spectators, especially their fellow guild members, become emotional while watching them. The time runs out on their battle, with both girls weakened, but still on their feet. The battle is considered a draw, with Fairy Tail team A and Lamia Scale receiving five points each. Jura silently commends Wendy's growth, remembering how she used to be the first time they met years ago. Chelia heals Wendy's wounds and asks her opponent to be her friend. The two agree to be friends. Jellal realizes that Chelia is no longer using her magic, but the evil presence is still evident, which means the power didn't come from Chelia. Jellal notices the power moving towards the exit and he jumps through the crowd exiting from the arena. Doranbolt is surprised, thinking that Mystogan noticed that he was following him. Jellal finds the source of power in the crowd, but Doranbolt blocks his way and asks who he is. While Jellal considers his next action, the other members of the council arrives. Doranbolt tells Jellal that he knows Mystogan doesn't exist and asks who he really is. Erza finds herself looking towards a different direction.

Tired and hungry, he ended up sitting outside a ramen shop, where the owner gave him something to eat. Jihan ended up living and working at the ramen shop, learning things that he never would have learned when he lived as a king. He decided to help the shop by giving it media exposure to make it popular, eventually turning it into a popular food chain and into a trading company, thereby making the ramen shop owner and himself rich. Jihan recounted how he hesitated after the Elder Furinji approached him about the current state of the Tidat Kingdom. Elder Furinji continued the story, telling them how he felt that they needed Jihan in order to stabilize the kingdom to increase the chances of getting Miu out safely.
