Hyuga Kagami transplanted Fugaku’s eyes into Sasuke and oversaw the awakening of his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, while developing a powerful Yang Release clone and helping Gaara control Shukaku. Sasuke joined the God Organization as Flame Demon and defeated Orochimaru’s challenge, though Orochimaru escaped with his followers.

• Orochimaru learned that Danzo was missing and that Sasuke had left Konoha, then ordered Yamato to find him as he considered a new Bloodline Fusion Ritual.

Hyuga Kagami returned to Konoha, helped Sasuke and Mitsuki find their places, and prepared for the Bloodline Fusion Ritual despite Shion’s vision of his death. After testing Impure World Reincarnation and arranging for Karin to assist him, he began the ritual and advanced into its second stage before running out of chakra.

• Hyuga Kagami brought Mitsuki to Konoha and secured his place on Team Kakashi, then used Impure World Reincarnation to revive Uchiha Yui temporarily for Shinichi.
• Hyuga Kagami abandoned the idea of using his Yin Release true body as an Impure World Reincarnation sacrifice and considered how Neji might preserve his Tenseigan after his death.
• Hyuga Kagami traveled to the Land of Wind, where Karin had prepared the altar and Gaara and the Third Kazekage Human Puppet guarded the site, then positioned his six clones for the ritual.

• Hyuga Kagami tested Neji’s resolve, implanted his Tenseigan, and helped him form a contract with Ryumyaku when Neji’s body began rejecting the eyes.
