Arc 13The God Tree and Madara’s Past
Naruto, Sasuke, and Nagato broke the Infinite Tsukuyomi’s hold on the world, and Uchiha Senju destroyed the God Tree before the Empire reshaped the Shinobi World. Madara then faced a journey into his past, where a Genjutsu and a staged massacre drove him into a confrontation with Hashirama and Tobirama.
- Itachi Uchiha helped Sasuke recognize his Mangekyo Sharingan and demonstrated Blood Arts before joining the Vanguard Force with Shisui Uchiha and Obito Uchiha.
- Madara Uchiha cast Infinite Tsukuyomi, trapping people in dream worlds while the God Tree transformed their bodies into White Zetsu.
- Nagato, Naruto, and Sasuke escaped their illusions, then joined forces with Madara Uchiha to sever the God Tree’s connection to the mental worlds and restore the trapped people.
- Madara Uchiha’s attempt to revive the victims failed until Uchiha Senju crossed from another world, revived him, and destroyed the God Tree.
- The Empire conquered and modernized the Shinobi World, while Uchiha Senju absorbed the God Tree’s power and Orochimaru reached Six Paths Level.
- After Madara Uchiha left Konoha, Obito, Itachi, and Shisui persuaded him to take them along, then showed him a Genjutsu of Izuna betraying him.
- Madara Uchiha returned to Konoha believing Hashirama had killed his followers, but Hashirama and Tobirama trapped him and showed him Anbu killing the Uchiha clan.
