• Masahiko told Killer B that the war had ended after only two days and that he had forgotten him on the island.
• The Divine Turtle appeared and complained to Masahiko about being summoned by an obnoxious ninja with terrifyingly thick eyebrows.

Masahiko tested the Black Seed’s effects, then brought Chiri to Sky Island and discussed her return to the Uchiha clan. They arrived to reunite with Mito and the others, while Masahiko said only Madara remained to be revived.

• Masahiko found that the Black Seed granted powerful auxiliary skills while equipped, but he lost most of his proficiency after spitting it out.

• Masahiko said Madara was the only one left to revive and complained that Madara had refused to acknowledge Chiri as his second grandmother.

Masahiko continued his leisurely life on Sky Island while investigating the Black Seed and preparing to introduce Chiri to the Uchiha clan’s younger generation. He discovered that the seed was connected to the Power of Destiny, then left with Chiri.

• Madara escaped his ruined confinement and read Masahiko’s quests, angrily rejecting the demands while seeming tempted by the Easter Egg Quest.
• Masahiko played mahjong with Hashirama and Kagami, discussed Madara’s revival and his complicated feelings for Chiri, and planned to take her to meet the Uchiha youth.
• Masahiko observed that Chiri was youthful in both body and mind, unlike Hitomi, who was old in body but young at heart.
• Masahiko’s swordsmanship reached level seven, causing a pattern on the Black Seed to fade, and he wondered whether his skills would eventually smooth its surface.
• Masahiko scratched the Black Seed and tasted its fragments, sensing the Power of Destiny and realizing the seed was its origin.
• Chiri called Masahiko, and he returned the Black Seed to his chest before leaving with her.

Masahiko showed Chiri around Konoha, where they learned that Itachi and Uchiha Izumi were dating despite belonging to the Uchiha and Senju clans. The Hokage had left the delicate matter for Masahiko to resolve, while Masahiko also considered how to help Hoshino grow stronger.

• Masahiko introduced Chiri to Konoha's clans and training grounds, then met Hoshino, who admitted she was training to keep up with Sasuke.
• Chiri encouraged Masahiko to guide Hoshino, and Masahiko agreed to think of a way to help her.
• Masahiko and Chiri found Yun Chu watching Itachi and Uchiha Izumi, and Yun Chu explained that the pair appeared to be dating.
• Chiri and Masahiko discussed the risk of conflict between the Uchiha and Senju clans, and Yun Chu revealed that the Hokage had asked Masahiko to solve the matter.

At the Uchiha clan grounds, Masahiko discussed Chiri’s return, Itachi’s relationship with Uchiha Izumi, and the Senju’s lack of eligible girls with Fugaku. Fugaku’s comments reminded Masahiko of the Senju fertility curse, and he began wondering about Kaguya’s role in it and her distant origins.

• Chiri read the Uchiha genealogy and learned that Fugaku’s great-grandfather was her cousin, then asked to see the clan’s history, but Masahiko discouraged her from reading painful war records.
• Masahiko asked Fugaku about Itachi and Uchiha Izumi, and Fugaku said their relationship could be made public without requiring their second child to take the Uchiha surname.
• Fugaku explained that the Senju had no girls of suitable age for marriage, prompting Masahiko to suggest that Yun Chu try dating Senju Rei.
• Fugaku’s account of the Senju’s recent births reminded Masahiko that he had lifted their fertility curse in Konoha Year 46, and he realized the curse had likely come from a power beyond ordinary souls.
• Masahiko considered asking Kaguya about the curse and wondered where her hometown was.

After leaving the Uchiha Clan Compound, Masahiko and Chiri stayed at Kushina’s home, where Chiri admitted that seeing how much the Uchiha Clan had changed left her unsure where she belonged. Masahiko tried to comfort her with jokes, but their conversation ended with him stumped by a simple age-gap calculation.

• Masahiko and Chiri ran into Uchiha Izumi, who recognized Masahiko and hurried off, apparently to find Senju Itachi and ask for help.
• Masahiko and Chiri decided to stay at Kushina’s home, and the next morning Masahiko made breakfast while Chiri watched.
• Chiri told Masahiko she would stay behind while he visited the Senju and Hyuga Clans, then admitted she felt lost and disappointed by how much the Uchiha Clan had changed.
• Masahiko reassured Chiri that she belonged with him and joked about their age difference, but she challenged him to calculate when his age would be no more than twice hers.

Masahiko brought Toneri, Hinata, and Hanabi to meet Kaguya, who examined their Byakugan and revealed the truth about Toneri’s Tenseigan. The group learned that it was an erroneous evolution that could lead to persecution and eye-stealing, while Masahiko realized he had more to ask Kaguya.

• Masahiko took Toneri, Hinata, and Hanabi to Kaguya’s residence in the Land of Whirlpools.
• Kaguya welcomed the three descendants of Hamura and praised the purity of Hinata and Hanabi’s Byakugan.
• Kaguya recognized Toneri’s eyes as a Tenseigan and explained that a half-finished Tenseigan required stolen pure Byakugan to become complete.
• Masahiko questioned why Toneri’s father had believed that having children with someone with pure Byakugan could awaken the Tenseigan.
• Hanabi teased Toneri about pursuing Hinata for her eyes, but Masahiko defended him and Toneri denied it.
• Masahiko reflected that he should have asked Kaguya more questions during the past three months.

Masahiko questioned Kaguya about Byakugan mutations and the Ōtsutsuki Clan, learning that a powerful progenitor once defeated a Jōgan-wielding rebel called the Child of Humanity. Kaguya concluded that the progenitor was still alive because only he could have blessed her with the power that caused her sudden pregnancy and childbirth.

• Masahiko sent Toneri, Hinata, and Hanabi to fetch ramen, leaving him alone with Kaguya.
• Masahiko asked Kaguya about Byakugan evolution, and she described Tenseigan, silver pupils, and golden pupils as rare mutations with serious side effects.
• Kaguya explained that the Ōtsutsuki Clan grew stronger by consuming Dan energy extracted from Chakra Fruits, while she had chosen to eat a fruit herself.
• Kaguya revealed that Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki planted God Trees under the authority of the Ōtsutsuki progenitor.
• Kaguya told Masahiko that a mixed-blood descendant had once awakened the deep-blue Jōgan, defeated Momoshiki, and forced the progenitor to intervene.
• Kaguya said she believed the progenitor was alive because only he could have blessed her with the power that caused her sudden pregnancy and childbirth.

Kaguya explained why she had children and warned Masahiko that Momoshiki could find her spaces now that her seal was gone. Masahiko arranged a passage between their spaces, then left the children with Kaguya and flew back to Konoha.

• Kaguya told Masahiko that the Progenitor Ōtsutsuki had blessed her with children, and that their births cost her chakra she might have needed to escape Momoshiki.
• Kaguya explained that she had hidden Earth's marker from the clan but feared Momoshiki could now appear in any of her six spaces.
• Masahiko speculated about the Progenitor Ōtsutsuki, Momoshiki, and the Jōgan, then decided to deal with Momoshiki first.
• Masahiko created a spatial passage between Kaguya's Ice Snow Space and his Earth Release Space so she could escape to him if Momoshiki attacked.
• Hanabi, Hinata, and Toneri returned with ramen, and Masahiko stayed for lunch before leaving the children with Kaguya.
• Masahiko flew toward Konoha, thinking he should tell Hiashi that his daughters would not come home that night and wondering if Chiri missed him.

Masahiko, feeling directionless, proposed a new goal to Tenten: building a rail-based transportation network across the Shinobi World. Tenten grasped the idea and rushed to fetch her father, leaving Masahiko to watch the shop.

• Masahiko found Minato washing dishes and learned that Chiri and Kushina had gone shopping while Naruto was out on his own.
• Masahiko wandered through Konoha, realized he needed a new goal, and stopped outside the shuttered Ichiraku Ramen Shop.
• Masahiko entered Tenten's family's struggling Ninja Tool Shop and asked about her dreams and the shop's future.
• Masahiko shaped Truth-Seeking Orbs into a model train and track, then explained that a full-scale version could connect distant parts of the Shinobi World.
• Tenten recognized the train as a possible new means of transportation, and she used the Flying Thunder God Technique to fetch her father.

Masahiko arranged for Tenten's family to build a train and promised his family they would see it in half a month. He brought Kaguya to Kushina's home for dinner, where his family mistook his grip on her sleeve for something more intimate.

• Masahiko commissioned Tenten's father to forge a train and lay a test track, while he arranged to obtain land and approval from Obito.
• Masahiko returned to Kushina's home and teased his family about revealing his world-changing project in half a month.
• Kushina complained that Naruto was fixated on Sasuke instead of dating, and Masahiko suddenly went to the Earth Release Space.
• Masahiko found Kaguya testing the passage and brought her home to meet Kushina, Chiri, Yuexia, and Minato.
• Minato gave Masahiko a suggestive look after noticing him holding Kaguya's sleeve, and Masahiko realized how the scene appeared.

Masahiko tested a prototype train and ordered Tenten's father to build a proper railway connecting the Land of Fire and the Land of Whirlpools. He then tried to make Kushina calculate his share of future ticket revenues, but she left with Minato to find Shikaku, so Masahiko went into hiding.

• Masahiko showed Minato, Kushina, Chiri, and Obito an awkward iron train prototype and secretly used repulsive force to push it along the tracks.
• The train traveled six hundred meters at about ninety kilometers per hour, and Masahiko praised Tenten's father's craftsmanship.
• Masahiko told Obito to recruit Konoha's Chakra Cannon researchers to power the train and ordered Tenten's father to build tracks to the Land of Whirlpools within three months.
• Masahiko claimed twenty percent of ticket revenues in every country and challenged Kushina to calculate his projected daily income.
• Kushina used Minato's Flying Thunder God to go find Shikaku, and Masahiko decided to hide for fifteen minutes.

Masahiko tricked Kushina out of claiming a share of the railway’s profits, then supervised the construction and successful test run of Konoha’s electric train. The test run activated Boruto Mode and revealed that he needed five million Witness Points to activate the Byakugan.

• Kushina initially refused Masahiko’s offer of railway income, then learned from Minato that the train could earn far more than she had expected.
• Masahiko supervised construction of the Whirlpool Fire railway, which was completed in two months, while Konoha’s craftsmen developed the train’s power system.
• On June 9th, Konoha’s sixty-fourth year, Masahiko, Kushina, Minato, and Chiri rode the electric train during its official test run.
• The electric train reached one hundred kilometers per hour, and Masahiko received 500 Witness Points after the successful test.
• Masahiko saw Boruto Mode activate and discovered a new Byakugan attribute requiring five million points.

Masahiko oversaw the successful electric train trial run and arranged for tracks and stations to expand across the Shinobi World. After unlocking the beginner Byakugan, he encountered Temari in Konoha and wondered about her Boruto-era story with Shikamaru.

• Masahiko celebrated the electric train’s successful trial run, directed Tenten's father to build return tracks and stations, and told Obito to contact Sunagakure about extending the railway toward the Land of Wind.
• Masahiko spent 500 Witness Points to unlock the beginner Byakugan, which let him see across a range of twenty kilometers.
• Masahiko tested the Byakugan’s observation and penetrating abilities, then left home while Chiri and Kushina wondered why he had seemed strange.
• Masahiko walked through Konoha and questioned how to gain more Witness Points from Boruto plotlines.
• Temari called out to Masahiko, who wondered whether Sunagakure had sent her to inspect the train and recalled her Boruto-era connection to Shikamaru.

Shikamaru was assigned to manage the railway project with Sunagakure and clashed with Temari, while Masahiko hoped their work together would bring them closer. Years later, the Southwest Railway was completed, and Masahiko agreed to help protect its trains from copying before inviting Chiri on a trip.

• Shikamaru and Temari boarded the Electric Train while arguing after being assigned to work together on the railway between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.
• Masahiko watched them leave and considered arranging other couples to earn Witness Points.
• In Konoha Year 65, Tenten's father told Masahiko that the Southwest Railway had been completed and its trial run had succeeded.
• Tenten's father explained that Kumogakure wanted to buy an Electric Train before a railway reached the village, and Masahiko offered to encrypt its key components.
• Masahiko invited Chiri to take a trip with him, and she agreed.

Masahiko and Chiri began a direct Electric Train journey together, where their conversation brought them closer as Chiri asked about her lifespan. Their quiet trip was interrupted by a massive Chakra fluctuation from Masahiko's Earth Release Space.

• Masahiko and Chiri bought expensive VIP tickets and boarded the once-a-week direct Electric Train at West Station of the Land of Fire.
• Masahiko secretly soundproofed their seating area, and Chiri noticed that the train and other passengers had gone silent.
• Masahiko asked Chiri about her Sharingan, and she said it had reopened as a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
• Chiri asked whether they were suitable for each other and worried about how long her soul could live, and Masahiko reassured her that he would find a way to extend her lifespan.
• A huge Chakra fluctuation came from Masahiko's Earth Release Space, and he angrily prepared to deal with it.

Masahiko confronted Momoshiki and Kinshiki after they arrived in Kaguya’s Ice Snow Space, and quickly overwhelmed them with his attacks. He discovered Momoshiki could absorb and reflect Chakra attacks, then struck him with an Evening Elephant that sent both Otsutsuki underground.

• Kaguya warned Masahiko that Momoshiki and Kinshiki had arrived in her Ice Snow Space.
• Masahiko blasted the Otsutsuki’s unstable spatial passage, then entered Kaguya’s Ice Snow Space and split their Tailed Beast Bomb with Wind Fire Wheels.
• Masahiko mocked Momoshiki and Kinshiki, sat on Kinshiki’s shoulder, and used a chain to hurl Kinshiki toward Momoshiki before Kinshiki avoided the collision and crashed underground.
• Momoshiki absorbed and reflected Masahiko’s Tailed Beast Bomb, but Masahiko redirected it to blast Kinshiki underground again.
• Masahiko used taijutsu and a Sage Cloak-enhanced Evening Elephant to strike Momoshiki, sending him underground to rejoin Kinshiki.

Masahiko defeated Momoshiki in Kaguya’s spaces and discovered that the enemy was a puppet who could send power back to his true body. After collecting the transformed Momoshiki as a golden fruit, Masahiko ended the fight and prepared to clock out.

• Masahiko confronted Momoshiki beneath the ice and attacked him with Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, but Kinshiki sacrificed himself and became a fruit that Momoshiki swallowed.
• Momoshiki absorbed Kinshiki’s power, transformed, and moved Masahiko into another space with Amenominaka.
• Momoshiki’s Yasakani no Magatama clashed with Masahiko’s Evening Elephant, which overwhelmed him and distorted the space around them.
• Momoshiki froze Masahiko in time and threatened to return, but Masahiko escaped the effect, seized him, and turned him into a golden fruit.
• Masahiko realized Momoshiki was a puppet linked to a true body, received 300 Witness Points, and decided the fight was over.

Masahiko returned to Kaguya after defeating Momoshiki, then spent a year writing Ninja Chronicles to create a film role for Yuexia. He left Yuexia set to play Sakura, while Kushina and Minato recognized that the book had distorted their history.

• Masahiko told Kaguya that Momoshiki and Kinshiki may have been puppets controlled by her progenitor, and said he would seek the progenitor out if necessary.
• Masahiko took Kaguya back toward the Land of Whirlpools and promised to let her ride the Electric Train another time.
• Masahiko attended Sai and Ino's wedding at the beginning of Konoha's Year 66 and earned Witness Points.
• After nearly a year secluded on Sky Island, Masahiko visited Kushina's home in February of Konoha's Year 67 and gave Yuexia the Ninja Chronicles he had written.
