Senju Tobirama transported the two Hashiramas and Uchiha Madara to a cavern filled with thousands of White Zetsu, proving that Madara had been deceived by Black Zetsu.

Konoha crushed Iwagakure while Kirigakure prepared to invade the Land of Fire with Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura. Uchiha Yu discovered the brothers, warned the traveler's Hashirama to evacuate the coast, and prepared to fight Hagoromo in a decisive battle near the Land of Whirlpools.

Uchiha Yu survived the catastrophic battle with Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura, sealing Hagoromo but losing track of Hamura, who escaped to the moon. Unable to reach the moon or safely study his prisoner while Hamura remained a threat, Uchiha Yu watched Konoha unify most of the continent by Konoha Year 26.

• The Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion struck Uchiha Yu, but his defenses slowed it, scattering deadly rays that wounded Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura and devastated the Land of Water.

• Tobirama shouted at Danzō for insulting the Second Hokage and imagining that Tobirama could overturn the decision of Konoha's three giants.
• Tobirama concluded that Danzō had delayed bringing him the news while pursuing his own ambitions, then berated him for half an hour until Danzō trembled in fear.

After Shimura Danzō escaped prison, Senju Tobirama hunted him down and returned to his research, while Uchiha Yu secretly guided the pursuit to keep Tobirama focused on developing the Time Forbidden Technique. Uchiha Yu then found Mount Myoboku through Otsutsuki Hamura and attacked it with meteors, leaving the Great Toad Sage and the other toads with only minutes to evacuate.

• Uchiha Yu shattered Mount Myoboku’s barrier with a fifth meteor, devastating the mountain and killing nearly all the toads.

Back at Flower-Fruit Mountain, Yu discovered the Sage of Six Paths' soul among the captured haul and then planned to expand the mountain's food production with Miwa Masayo.

• Uchiha Yu and Senju Tobirama gathered the particles and found genuine Otsutsuki information, which left both men frightened by the power of the clan.
• Uchiha Yu reflected on his determination to defeat the Otsutsuki Clan and his loneliness, then worked with Senju Tobirama to secure every remnant so the Sage of Six Paths in their timeline would not discover the killing.
