The Sage of Six Paths sensed an unexplained change and examined the Ninja World, alarming Uchiha Kiyoshi and the Three Great Sages. Uchiha Kiyoshi survived the scrutiny, gained insight into Rule Power, and suspected the New Continent was a hidden contingency shaped by other gods.

• The Sage of Six Paths summoned Ōtsutsuki Hamura and decided to examine the Ninja World despite the agreement forbidding his interference.

Ancestor discovered that continued cultivation could purify his newly transformed True Qi, while Uchiha Kiyoshi used Ancestor’s insights to awaken his own Rule Power. He began replacing his mixed Spiritual Energy by refining Chakra with his own Rule Power, then realized his other Spiritual Energy-based creations might need replacing too.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi planned to update his clones and other creations, then realized his insights themselves might have been recorded with Spiritual Energy.

After purifying and organizing his insights, Uchiha Kiyoshi studied the Five Elements Rules of the Ninja World and used them to devise a stable method for fusing all five elemental attributes. He successfully created Five Elements Kekkei Genkai Chakra, and his body began adapting to the transformation.

• Uchiha Kiyoshi planned to trigger the Fourth War before the villages recovered and to add the idea of unification to Madara’s Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Nawaki awakened a Sage Body after pushing himself through punishing training, and Tsunade knocked him unconscious to examine his condition. Hui sensed the awakening and hoped to use it to draw Nawaki into the Immortal Organization.

• The Martial Dao Sacred Land won the tribes' respect by granting pilgrims powerful inheritances, while Ancestor drove off attackers and deterred the Three Great Tribes.

• Nawaki awakened a Sage Body, but Tsunade knocked him out and checked whether he had overstrained himself.
• Hui sensed Nawaki's awakening and planned to persuade him to join the Immortal Organization.

Hui decided the Uchiha Clan needed a future beyond Konoha, so Uchiha Fugaku sent a group of children to the Immortal Academy to build ties with the Immortal Organization. Nawaki resumed training after awakening the Sage Body, while several figures slipped into Konoha through a gap in its barrier.

• Hui assessed Nawaki's awakening and concluded that the Uchiha Clan needed to make its move before Konoha's power structure shut them out.
• Uchiha Fugaku entrusted a group of Uchiha children to Doseki, who took them beyond Konoha and told them to hide their clan identities and Sharingan.

• Several figures entered Konoha through a gap in the village barrier and prepared to follow their plan.

Six Kumogakure ninja infiltrated Konoha and attacked Nawaki, but he overwhelmed them with powerful Water Release techniques and defeated all six. The attackers died by suicide before interrogation, and Konoha suspected Kumogakure as Hui considered how the attack could give Konoha grounds to retaliate.

• Six black-clad ninja entered Konoha, split into pairs, and tracked Nawaki while checking that Tsunade and other powerful ninja were absent.
• The six ambushed Nawaki at the Senju Clan grounds, but he blocked their attacks and unleashed a series of powerful Water Release techniques.
• Nawaki used his replenishing Chakra, Body Flicker Technique, and Taijutsu to severely injure and suppress all six attackers.
• Tsunade and Konoha's leaders arrived, and Tsunade captured the attackers, but they committed suicide before she could question them.
• Konoha's investigation narrowed suspicion to Kumogakure, while Hui reasoned that Kumogakure had sought the truth behind Nawaki's resurrection and that Konoha now had grounds to respond.

After six Kumogakure ninja attacked Nawaki, Tsunade ordered Hui to demand an explanation, while Orochimaru kept five attackers for questioning and experiments. Hui went straight to Kumogakure, devastated much of the village with a massive Water Release attack, and demanded that the Fourth Raikage answer for the attack on Konoha.
