• Gamamaru ordered Fukasaku and Shima to take the toads to Konoha and obey Uchiha Jin until Hagoromo was dead.

Gamamaru ordered Mount Myōboku to submit unconditionally to Konoha because his prophecy showed Uchiha Jin defeating Hagoromo and the others. Bound to Hagoromo by an unbreakable contract, Gamamaru stayed behind while Fukasaku and Shima led the toads to Konoha, leaving Jin baffled by their arrival.

• Gamamaru told Fukasaku and Shima to abandon ideas of justice and take Mount Myōboku to Konoha to ensure the toads’ survival.
• Gamamaru revealed that his prophecy showed Uchiha Jin killing Hagoromo and easily defeating Hamura and Kaguya.
• Gamamaru explained that his Six Paths-level contract bound him to Hagoromo, so he had to remain behind while Fukasaku and Shima could choose to surrender.

• Uchiha Jin summoned the leaders of Ryūchi Cave and Myōboku and asked the Senju Clan Grounds to summon Katsuyu.
• The White Snake Sage questioned why Gamamaru had not come, and Fukasaku explained that Gamamaru was Hagoromo's Summoning Beast and could not choose sides.
• Fukasaku presented Myōboku's Talisman of the Sage and asked Konoha to take in the toads.
• Uchiha Jin accepted Myōboku's gift, promised the toads would be treated peacefully, and offered to help them reclaim Myōboku after he killed Hagoromo.
• The White Snake Sage gave Konoha summoning scrolls for herself and the Three Great Snake Princesses, and Katsuyu offered an unusual sword from Shikkotsu Forest.

Uchiha Jin learned from Fukasaku and Shima that Hagoromo was preparing to attack Konoha and that Hamura might have fused with the Death God's Authority. He began training in the Spirit Transformation Jutsu and discovered the strange sword seemed to call to him while he was in a soul state.

• Uchiha Jin welcomed the Three Great Sage Regions, then arranged for the toads of Mount Myōboku to stay in Konoha.
• Fukasaku and Shima told Uchiha Jin that Hagoromo planned to resurrect himself and gather powerful souls from the Pure Land for an attack, possibly within fifteen days.
• Fukasaku also warned Uchiha Jin that Hamura had tried to steal the Death God's Authority and might have lost consciousness after failing.
• Uchiha Jin considered asking Uchiha Madara about the White Zetsu, controlling Obito, and consulting Orochimaru about Hamura and souls.
• Uchiha Jin retrieved the Forbidden Scroll, mastered the Spirit Transformation Jutsu, and left his body to explore as a soul.
• Uchiha Jin sensed that the unfamiliar sword beside his body was attracting him and wondered if it could only be used by a soul.

Uchiha Jin discovered that the blade Katsuyu gave him was an Asauchi and used the Hongmeng Tower to learn the Shinigami cultivation system. After testing Kido against souls, he sought to strengthen the blade for his coming fight with Hagoromo, but the Tower offered Ryujin Jakka at a steep cost.

• Uchiha Jin grasped the blade in his soul form, and the Hongmeng Tower identified it as an Asauchi and offered to empower him with the Shinigami cultivation system for 10,000 Fortune points.
• Uchiha Jin accepted the empowerment and received knowledge of Shinigami techniques, Soul Society, and its tools.
• Uchiha Jin trained at the Valley of the End and found that Kido could affect souls, giving him a way to fight Hamura.
• Uchiha Jin tried Soul Engraving but stopped when he realized he could not wait years to achieve Shikai before Hagoromo arrived in just over ten days.
• Uchiha Jin used the Enhancement Function, and the Hongmeng Tower offered to enhance his Zanpakuto to Ryujin Jakka Shikai for 100,000 Fortune points or Bankai for 1,000,000.

Uchiha Jin enhanced his Asauchi into Ryujin Jakka and accidentally unleashed flames powerful enough to destroy the room. After reassuring the village leaders and calling a high-level meeting, he rested with Nohara Rin while Senju Tobirama’s resentment over Hashirama’s resurrection prompted Uzumaki Mito to confront her husband.

• Jin used the Hongmeng Tower to enhance his Asauchi into Ryujin Jakka, whose Shikai flames destroyed the room around him.
• Nohara Rin and the village’s leaders and powerful figures rushed to Jin, and he explained that he had been practicing a new technique.
• Jin ordered an Anbu to summon regional leaders and experts at Kage Level or above to a meeting the next morning.
• Nohara Rin led Jin to her room to rest, and he considered starting a family now that he felt ready to face his enemies.
• Senju Tobirama, upset that Senju Hashirama had been resurrected without telling him or noticing his feelings, went to Uzumaki Mito.
• Uzumaki Mito angrily grabbed Senju Hashirama by the ear and dragged him toward her backyard.

Uzumaki Mito learned that Hashirama and Madara’s resurrection depended on Madara’s Rinnegan and Uchiha Jin’s intervention, leaving Nawaki’s revival for later. At a packed meeting, Jin announced that the Sage of Six Paths was preparing to attack Konoha and warned that Hamura might join the conflict.

• Uzumaki Mito asked Hashirama how he had been resurrected and whether Tobirama, Nawaki, and she could also return.
• Senju Hashirama explained that Madara’s Rinnegan and Uchiha Jin’s control of Black Zetsu had enabled their resurrection, and Mito accepted that Nawaki would have to wait.

• Uchiha Jin convened Konoha’s experts and village commanders in Conference Room 12 and began issuing orders.

• Uchiha Jin warned that Hamura was trying to control the Shinigami and might regain his sanity and join the slaughter.

Uchiha Jin assigned teams to capture Obito, find and seal one hundred thousand White Zetsu, and secretly investigate Kara before the Sage of Six Paths arrived. He ordered all Kage Level and stronger fighters to assemble in fifteen days at Cloud-Lightning Gorge Mountain Range for the coming battle.

• Uchiha Jin told the gathering that he would stop the Sage of Six Paths and ordered Senju Tobirama and Namikaze Minato to lead Kakashi, Tsunade, and Orochimaru in capturing Obito within ten days, sparing his life for Nohara Rin.
• Uchiha Jin tasked Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama with leading Hatake Sakumo, Uzumaki Mito, Kushina, Hyuga forces, and an Anbu Battalion to find and seal Black Zetsu's one hundred thousand White Zetsu.
• Uchiha Jin ordered Nagato, Akatsuki members, Hyuga forces, Ōnoki, Rasa, Mei Terumī, and an Anbu Battalion to secretly search for Kara and report if they found its leader, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, traveling as the monk Jigen.
• The attendees were horrified by the scale of the threats, and Tsunade, Orochimaru, Kakashi, and others resolved to train harder after realizing their strength might not qualify them for the battlefield.
• Uchiha Jin ordered all fighters at Kage Level and above to gather in fifteen days at Cloud-Lightning Gorge Mountain Range, forbade disclosure to anyone below Kage Level, and adjourned the meeting.
• Senju Tobirama realized why Uchiha Jin trained so diligently and became eager to revive and train himself.

• Senju Hashirama set aside his worries about powerful enemies and resolved to complete his assigned task before training his Wood Release.
• Tsunade told Hashirama and Senju Tobirama that the clans had one day to gather remains and revive deceased powerhouses before the Hokage’s plan began.
• Under Tsunade’s lead, the Senju and other Shinobi clans excavated remains, while authorities across the Shinobi World sent remains and death row prisoners to Konoha.
• Orochimaru and Senju Tobirama repeatedly used Impure World Reincarnation to revive batches of former Kage, while Orochimaru grew numb to the work.
• Dodai collected the Third Raikage and Fourth Raikage and led them away to explain the situation.

Uchiha Izuna learned that the Uchiha ruled the Shinobi World and that Uchiha Jin surpassed Hashirama and Madara, while former village leaders accepted that their villages would not return. As Konoha prepared to reincarnate more powerful figures, Jin tasked Hashirama and Madara with finding Black Zetsu’s hidden White Zetsu.

• Madara took Izuna aside, explained the history of the Shinobi World, and warned him that Jin was stronger than Hashirama and Madara combined.
• Izuna abandoned his plan to seize the Uchiha Clan Head position after learning how powerful Jin was.
• Former village leaders gave up thoughts of restoring their villages after learning that their people had accepted Konoha’s rule, then became interested in earning resurrection.
• Reincarnated figures explored Konoha while work at the Research Building paused because death-row prisoners were running short.
• Jin told Hashirama and Madara to find Black Zetsu’s hidden White Zetsu so Konoha could reincarnate more people than the Sage of Six Paths could summon.
• Hashirama promised to find White Zetsu, and Madara agreed to do his best.

Uchiha Jin sent teams to capture Obito and White Zetsu while tracking Jigen, then focused on training his Shinigami abilities. Fifteen days later, Hagoromo arrived at Mount Myōboku, where Gamamaru urged him to negotiate with Jin and divide control of the Pure Land and Shinobi World.

• Uchiha Jin ordered Hashirama, Madara, Tobirama, and Minato to investigate Kara and Jigen, then left Konoha to train his Kido and Zanpakuto Shikai.
• Tobirama and Minato captured Obito with Kakashi and their team, while Hashirama and Madara rounded up more than a thousand White Zetsu but failed to find the sealed hundred thousand.
• A search team located Jigen near the former Land of Waterfalls, and Uchiha Jin ordered the local ninja to watch him from a distance without making contact.
• After fifteen days, Hagoromo appeared in his complete form at Mount Myōboku and found Gamamaru and the toads preparing to leave.
• Gamamaru told Hagoromo that his visions showed he could not win against Uchiha Jin and proposed that they negotiate a division of the Pure Land and Shinobi World.

Hagoromo rejected Gamamaru’s warning and went to Mountain Graveyard to raise an army of Reanimated warriors. When the powerful souls he expected proved to be missing from the Pure Land, he lost his composure and accused Gamamaru.

• Gamamaru urged Hagoromo to surrender to Uchiha Jin, but Hagoromo refused and threatened to release Kaguya rather than give up the Shinobi World.
• Gamamaru accepted that Mount Myōboku might fall alongside Ninshu, and Hagoromo vowed to prove his prophecy wrong.
• Hagoromo and Gamamaru left Mount Myōboku and traveled to Mountain Graveyard, where Hagoromo uncovered the sleeping White Zetsu beneath the earth.
• Hagoromo used Impure World Reincarnation on the White Zetsu, but many powerful Reanimated warriors immediately crumbled back into ash.
• Hagoromo checked the Pure Land and discovered that the powerful souls were gone, then erupted at Gamamaru and demanded to know whether he was responsible.

Hagoromo discovered that Konoha’s forces had moved to Cloud-Lightning Gorge and accepted the remote battlefield to protect the Shinobi World. There, Jin assembled the living powerhouses for the coming battle and explained why he had excluded the Reanimation forces, leaving Madara concerned about being separated from Izuna.

• Gamamaru admitted that he had given Konoha intelligence to preserve the toads’ future, and Hagoromo put away the Reanimation powerhouses before departing with him.
• Hagoromo found Konoha empty, learned that Jin had moved the powerhouses to Cloud-Lightning Gorge, and left without harming the village or a Chunin whose soul he had briefly extracted.
• Senju Hashirama used Wood Release to raise townhouses at Cloud-Lightning Gorge, where the Shinobi World’s Kage Level powerhouses gathered and Jin calmly drank tea.
• Uchiha Madara asked Jin why he had excluded the Reanimation powerhouses, partly because he wanted to stay with Uchiha Izuna.
• Jin warned that Hagoromo might be able to undo Impure World Reincarnation, counter the undead, or control their souls, and Madara fell silent.

Uchiha Jin and Konoha's forces faced Hagoromo, whose overwhelming power defeated Hashirama and Madara's combined attack. After Konoha sealed Hagoromo's Reanimation army, Jin took charge and directed Hashirama and Madara to attack the Great Toad Sage.

• Hagoromo summoned an army of Reanimations, which Konoha's forces sealed with Five-Element Sealing Scrolls.
• Hagoromo urged Hashirama and Madara to return to the Pure Land, but Jin refused and told them to target the Great Toad Sage.

Uchiha Jin faced Six Paths Hagoromo alone after Hashirama and Madara withdrew, and revealed his soul-targeting Zanpakutō, Ryujin Jakka. Hagoromo powered up with Gamamaru’s senjutsu chakra, but Jin’s flames scorched both his body and soul; Hagoromo escaped and counterattacked from behind with a powerful Sage Art.

• Hagoromo ordered Gamamaru to shrink and ride on his shoulder, leaving Hashirama and Madara embarrassed by the toad sage’s retreat.
• Jin sent Hashirama and Madara to help seal the Reanimation Army while he stayed to fight Hagoromo.
• Gamamaru poured senjutsu chakra into Hagoromo, greatly increasing his chakra pressure as Hagoromo prepared to face Jin seriously.
• Jin summoned his Zanpakutō and released Ryujin Jakka, making Hagoromo and Gamamaru feel their souls tremble.
• Jin’s blazing Torch attack engulfed Hagoromo and scorched his soul, but Hagoromo escaped through space transmission and attacked Jin from behind with Sage Art: Water Severing Wave.

Uchiha Jin unleashed Ryujin Jakka’s Blazing Hell against Six Paths Hagoromo, who failed to escape the flames and was repeatedly killed and revived. Jin finally destroyed Hagoromo’s soul, but gained no useful knowledge of Otsutsuki techniques, and Gamamaru died with him.

• Hagoromo countered Jin’s attack with water and Dust Release, but neither stopped Jin’s flames, which remained intact inside the Dust Release cube.
• Jin unleashed Blazing Hell, turning the land within thirty kilometers into lava and making Hagoromo’s space-time techniques and Truth-Seeking Orbs ineffective.
• Hagoromo fired Indra’s Arrow, which Jin sent into the Lava Dimension, then Jin struck him with All-Killing Ash Bones.
• Hagoromo revived with Izanagi, so Jin continued burning him and firing All-Killing Ash Bones until thirteen deaths and revivals had ground his soul to dust.
• Jin realized Hagoromo had no Otsutsuki techniques worth learning, and Gamamaru’s soul collapsed when Hagoromo died.
