Uchiha Daiki defeated Jinin Akebino with Lightning Release and left him alive for Konoha to interrogate, then departed after Might Duy and his companions thanked him. At a meeting in the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi decided to press the war against the three remaining enemy villages and suggested sending Daiki and Shisui to support other fronts.

Uchiha Daiki and Uchiha Shisui reunited with Uchiha Fugaku’s forces after Daiki defeated Shisui in a Body Flicker contest. As Fugaku assigned them to solo missions against the other villages, Daiki proposed a formation to protect weaker units and confront enemy elites.

• Daiki asked Shisui how he awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, and Shisui explained that grief and rage over his comrades’ deaths triggered it.
• Shisui said Kirigakure had agreed to negotiate and that they should join the other Uchiha forces; Daiki and Shisui raced there using their Body Flicker Techniques, and Daiki arrived first.

• Fugaku assigned Daiki and Shisui to undertake solo missions while other Uchiha Jonin led teams to support the battlefields.
• Daiki proposed placing teams below Chunin level in the rear and sending stronger forces to the front to protect weaker units and stop enemy elites.

• Uchiha Daiki argued that sending weaker Uchiha clansmen against Kirigakure’s elite forces would cause needless deaths and asked who would revive the clan if they fell.

Uchiha Daiki found Nohara Rin held captive in a cave by Hidden Rock ninja and freed her, while Obito Uchiha rushed into an ambush to rescue her.

• Obito Uchiha rushed into the cave despite Kakashi's warning, and the ground shook as the cave collapsed.

• Uchiha Daiki praised Minato’s prospects as Hokage, then proposed a wartime kill-count contest and demanded that Minato withdraw from the succession if he lost.

• A increased his Lightning Release Chakra armor, which prevented Hiashi from striking his Chakra points effectively.
• Killer B began using seven swords against Hizashi, who was forced to defend himself with Rotation before launching another Gentle Fist attack.

A and Killer B defeated Hyuga Hiashi, Hizashi Hyuga, and the other Konoha Jonin, while Dodai explained why Kumogakure intended to take the Hyuga brothers' Byakugan as spoils and bargaining chips. A young Konoha reinforcement appeared on a tree branch, and A challenged him to rescue the captives alone.

• A used Lightning Release Chakra Mode to overwhelm Hyuga Hiashi, while Killer B's sword-and-taijutsu attacks forced Hizashi Hyuga to rely on Rotation.
