Shinki’s astonishing talent carried him from a struggling Academy student to a graduate who mastered techniques on his own and helped Naruto and Konohamaru improve. The arc left him on Team 7, where he took Kakashi’s bells with the Flying Thunder God Technique during the team test.
Team 7 escorted Tazuna to the Land of Waves, where Shinki’s strength helped defeat Zabuza and protect the bridge workers. Back in Konoha, Shinki trained for the Chunin Exams and began the written test with Naruto and Sasuke.
Shinki helped Naruto and Sasuke through the Chunin Exams, confronted Orochimaru, and suppressed Sasuke’s Cursed Seal. After the preliminaries, Jiraiya agreed to train Shinki and Naruto, while Shinki’s summoning awakened the Great Toad Sage, who foresaw troubled times.
Shinki mastered Mount Myōboku’s Senjutsu, helped stop Orochimaru’s invasion of Konoha, and drew the attention of powerful enemies. After leaving with Jiraiya and Naruto to find Tsunade, he survived attacks from Root and Kumogakure and captured the assassins sent after him.
Shinki helped Tsunade become Hokage, saved Rock Lee through a dangerous operation, and defeated several threats while escorting Idaten in the Land of Tea. After Sasuke left Konoha for Orochimaru, Shinki led a team to retrieve him, but Kimimaro arrived to block their way.
Shinki killed Danzo after resisting his attempt to control him, then received Shisui Uchiha’s eye and trained with Jiraiya and Naruto. After returning to Konoha, Shinki joined the mission to rescue Gaara and began treating the poisoned Kankuro in Sunagakure.
Shinki rescued Gaara, captured Orochimaru, and helped stop Moryo’s invasion before setting out with Naruto to hunt Akatsuki bounties. The arc leaves them in the Land of Lightning, tasked by the Raikage with rescuing Yugito Nii from Hidan and Kakuzu.
Shinki sealed the Three-Tails, joined the fight against Pain, and revived Jiraiya after discovering how Pain’s bodies were controlled. With Pain dead but the Akatsuki still active, Shinki and Naruto left Konoha to meet Sasuke, while Itachi summoned Sasuke to the Uchiha Clan’s base.
Shinki took the Six-Tails and Angry Hair Heaven, then destroyed the Kinrin Mountains while testing his new technique and negotiated with Iwagakure using a Crystal Mountain as compensation. After learning Utakata had died, Shinki joined forces with Sasuke and confronted the Akatsuki while they extracted Roshi.

Shinki settled the crisis over Killer B, confronted the Masked Man at the Five Kage Summit, and accepted the mission to rescue Yugito Nii. As the Fourth Shinobi World War approached, he traveled with Naruto to Turtle Island, where Naruto faced his inner resentment at the Waterfall of Truth and Shinki surprised the watching ninja by opening his eyes almost at once.
Shinki and Naruto completed their Tailed Beast training as the Allied Shinobi Forces battled Akatsuki’s revived dead and White Zetsu army. Shinki freed the Fourth Hokage’s soul and developed a sealing technique, but the war escalated when Kabuto revived Madara Uchiha, who entered the battlefield and summoned a massive meteorite.
Shinki became the Sixth Hokage and repeatedly intervened to save the Kage, Naruto, Killer B, and the Allied Shinobi Forces. The Masked Man gathered the Tailed Beast chakra and awakened the Ten-Tails, while Shinki’s allies confronted it and the arc ended with Kakashi receiving a message from Shinki.
Obito’s defeat failed to end the war, as Madara became the Ten-Tails’ Jinchūriki and cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi before Black Zetsu revived Kaguya. Shinki defied the prophecy keeping him away from the battlefield and joined Naruto and Sasuke against Kaguya, ending the stretch by freezing a volcanic dimension.
Shinki sealed Kaguya, became the Sixth Hokage, and stopped Toneri from crashing the moon into the Shinobi World. He then investigated attacks on Konoha, uncovered Chino and Oyashiro En’s past, and ended the stretch facing Shizuka’s challenge.
Shinki handled crises across the shinobi world while building Konoha’s future and investigating a hidden enemy behind several disturbances. The arc ended with Sasuke searching an underground cave for missing ninjas after encountering a five-headed White Zetsu and a gigantic tree.
Shinki uncovered signs of the Ōtsutsuki, fought their attacks, and discovered new powers while protecting Konoha and the Tailed Beasts. After Pu Shi escaped and another Ōtsutsuki went missing, Shinki used the time-traveling treasure Karasuki to pursue him.
Shinki confronted Ōtsutsuki Ura, investigated Victor’s experiments, and uncovered Kara while rescuing its captured Vessel. The boy, renamed Shūichi, began a new life in Konoha, where Delta attacked before Amado restored her in a new body.
Shinki defeated Isshiki and protected Konoha from Kara, while Amado revealed the threats posed by Code, Ada, and Daemon. Shūichi’s Kāma returned, Amado was taken and released after Code’s limiters were removed, and Ada and Daemon headed to Konoha as Ada pursued Shinki.
