After discovering his clansmen slaughtered, Madara Uchiha awakened greater ocular power and broke free of Tobirama's seal and Hashirama's restraint. He fought Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju with renewed fury, and the chapter ended as Hashirama summoned an enormous Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands.
Hashirama and Tobirama fought Uchiha Madara with their strongest techniques, but Madara’s Susanoo overwhelmed them. The brothers revealed Mangekyo Sharingan and asked whether Madara approved of their technique, leaving him stunned by the familiar eyes.
Madara Uchiha realized the apparent confrontation with Hashirama and Tobirama had been an elaborate Genjutsu, then accepted Itachi Uchiha’s respect and left Konoha with Itachi, Shisui, and Obito. Their departure left the Uchiha clan divided and Tobirama furious, while Hashirama watched them go.
Uchiha Madara rejected the Hidden Mist Village envoy’s offer to recruit him and defeated the village’s strongest ninja after the envoy’s companion challenged him. He sent the envoy and her people away, then reflected on how satisfying Genjutsu could be.
Madara Uchiha sent Obito, Shisui, and Itachi to Hidden Cloud Village to find the Nine-Tails. After the villagers attacked them, the trio fought back, and Obito demanded information while the captured shinobi refused to give in.
Obito, Shisui, and Itachi forced the Hidden Cloud ninjas to reveal information, and Raiga told them that Kinkaku and Silver Horn knew where the Nine-Tails was. After the trio left, the villagers attacked Raiga for betraying them, but he argued that the village could use the confrontation to turn Kinkaku and Silver Horn against the outsiders; his plan met immediate doubts.
The Nine-Tails confronted five people while Raiga and the Hidden Cloud Village prepared to exploit the expected battle and claim credit as heroes. The Nine-Tails’ eyes suddenly changed into a Mangekyo Sharingan pattern, leaving the onlookers wondering how it could use ocular jutsu.
The Hidden Cloud Village ninjas watched in disbelief as the Nine-Tails acted like a tame pet around the newcomers. As they struggled to understand how it could be so docile, one ninja suddenly claimed he knew why.
Raiga tried to stop Obito’s group from taking the Nine-Tails by persuading it to stay in the Hidden Cloud Village. He offered it the village’s protection and best food and wine, unaware of its reaction to being called adorable.
The Nine-Tails and Obito’s group defeated Raiga, then Madara Uchiha praised Obito, Shisui, and Itachi for their mastery of the Uchiha bloodline. The three captured the remaining eight Tailed Beasts, bringing the Eye of the Moon Plan close to completion, though Madara left its final requirement unstated.
Madara captured Hashirama and used his cells to awaken the Rinnegan, declaring that he would reshape the world through power. Hashirama rejected Madara’s offer to join him and prepared to stop him with Deep Forest Emergence.
Shisui controlled Hashirama to persuade Madara to open a Cross-Dimensional Channel instead of activating the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and Madara entered the Fourth Great Ninja War to witness how his plan unfolded. After seeing Kaguya resurrected, Madara joined the allied ninjas against her, but a sudden spatial disturbance interrupted the battle.
Madara Uchiha accepted the Emperor’s offer of peace, and the Empire expanded across parallel universes and defeated the Otsutsuki Clan. A thousand years later, Senju awoke as Lin Senju in a classroom, realizing his life as the Emperor might have been a dream, though he sensed something unusual in his Chakra.
