Hashirama’s uncontrolled embrace forced Tobirama to intervene, and Utsusemi escaped with her samples as the brothers began to suspect something was wrong.

After sealing the specimens away, she found comfort in Tobirama and returned with him to the Senju clan’s unfinished financial work.

• Utsusemi’s experiments regenerated Madara Uchiha’s discarded Sharingan, producing clones with varying levels of ocular power and a malformed eye with wooden eyelashes.

Utsusemi agreed to reduce her grueling training after Tobirama and Hashirama warned that her mental strain was nearing its limit. She reflected on her exhausting nightly treatments of Izuna and the unexpected tenderness Madara had shown her, while Itama recognized that her training came from the burden of suppressing the Uchiha.

When an assassin attacked Izuna, Utsusemi revealed Black Zetsu inside the attacker and captured half of it, discovering that the enemy was only partly present.

• Madara found falsified clan records and evidence that someone had used yin release Chakra to suppress Izuna’s recovery, so he and Utsusemi planned to lure out the culprit by claiming Izuna was healed.
• Utsusemi told the Senju brothers that Izuna’s recovery was bait, but Madara had agreed to build the village, with both clans’ names to be carved into its foundation stone on the next full moon.

• Utsusemi entered Six Paths Mode and used her chains and Truth-Seeking Orbs to expose the tar-like matter possessing the assassin.

• Utsusemi captured Black Zetsu with the Mind Sphere, and he admitted he was Princess Kaguya’s son and had engineered the Uchiha’s thousand-year curse.
• Utsusemi and Madara Uchiha revealed memories showing Black Zetsu had forged feuds, altered missions, manipulated deaths, and corrupted the stone tablet to drive the Senju and Uchiha toward the Rinnegan.
• The Senju and Uchiha learned that Black Zetsu had tampered with Itama’s mission and caused much of the clans’ supposed blood debts, leaving Hashirama and the assembled ninja shaken.
• Utsusemi silenced the crowd, declared the conspiracy would end in the name of the Six Paths, and ordered the Senju and Uchiha brothers to convene a trial and expose Black Zetsu’s crimes.
• The Senju brothers realized Utsusemi’s two-hundred-day healing ritual had prepared her to sever the Uchiha’s curse and help bring about an alliance.

After Black Zetsu’s judgment and purification ended the thousand-year curse, Utsusemi performed a Sharingan transplant on Izuna. The surgery succeeded, restoring Izuna’s sight and leaving him reborn with a rebuilt Chakra network and new power.

• Utsusemi presided over Black Zetsu’s trial, exposed his crimes, and oversaw the sealing that dissolved the thousand-year curse.

• Izuna opened his eyes, saw Utsusemi clearly, and realized his Chakra network and vision had been restored.

As the Senju and Uchiha prepared to form an alliance, Utsusemi presented the land and plans she had spent months preparing for their village. The group began organizing construction, though Tobirama Senju and Uchiha Izuna remained hostile while working together.

• Utsusemi revealed that she had bought the land surrounding the Senju and Uchiha compounds and offered the deeds in exchange for a permanent seat among the elders and thirty percent of land rent.
• Tobirama Senju and Madara Uchiha examined Utsusemi's proposal and village plans, while Hashirama Senju became emotional over the end of the clans' feud.
• Utsusemi presented plans for commercial buildings, drainage, housing, and future infrastructure, and Hashirama Senju agreed to use Wood Release to help build the village.
• Tobirama Senju insisted that the sewer system take priority over the hydroelectric plant, and Utsusemi assigned Izuna to oversee the Uchiha side.
• Madara Uchiha reported that Utsusemi's tempered glass was seventy percent complete, and the group divided up work while Tobirama Senju and Izuna continued to clash over the plans.
