• Minato delivered the entrance ceremony speech, and Uchiha Itachi resolved to support him and work toward peace between Konoha and the Uchiha Clan.

Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha agreed to imprison the Uchiha rebels while considering their sentences, and the imprisoned commander blamed their defeat on the absence of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Minamoto Takuya traced the clan’s growing obsession to the Collector’s impact and Obito Uchiha’s manipulation, while Minato reflected on the wider unrest spreading through the Shinobi World.

• Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha discussed punishments for the rebels and agreed to hold them in a guarded detention area until their Radical Faction beliefs no longer threatened the clan.

• Minamoto Takuya suspected that the Uchiha had made Madara Uchiha and the Mangekyō into legends, while the narration revealed that Obito Uchiha had deliberately cultivated this belief and used the Collector’s feats to reinforce it.
• Minato Namikaze considered how the Collector’s actions had fueled attempts to steal Konoha’s Scroll of Seals, attacks on Jinchuriki, and a wider, reckless pursuit of power.

Minamoto Takuya proposed that Shisui Uchiha oppose Konoha to dispel the Uchiha Clan’s belief that the Mangekyō Sharingan could challenge the village. After repeatedly using the Sharingan apparatus and enduring memory erasure to control its side effects, Takuya learned his Mangekyō remained out of reach, then received word that his subordinates had found Utakata, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.

• Minamoto Takuya told Minato Namikaze that Shisui Uchiha should stand against Konoha so the Uchiha Clan would see the limits of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Minato Namikaze agreed to consider the plan, congratulated Minamoto Takuya on mastering Monster Strength, and returned to the Hokage Building while Takuya headed to Anbu Headquarters.
• Minamoto Takuya used the Sharingan apparatus again after confirming he could manage its side effects through True Waterfall and precise memory severance.
• Minamoto Takuya saw that his Sharingan had grown stronger but concluded that the apparatus alone would not awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Minamoto Takuya traveled to True Waterfall, cleansed the apparatus’s mental effects, erased a memory, and practiced resting while maintaining Sage Mode.
• A crow informed Minamoto Takuya that his subordinates had discovered Utakata’s trail, and Takuya decided to pursue the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.

Utakata unleashed the Six-Tails’ power to defeat the bounty hunters pursuing him, then submitted when Minamoto Takuya arrived to collect some of Saiken’s chakra. Afterward, Utakata left the conflict-filled Shinobi World behind and disappeared into the forest.

• Utakata lured the hunters pursuing him into a remote clearing, where he unleashed his Half-Tailed Beast Transformation and killed them with the Six-Tails’ chakra tails.
• Minamoto Takuya appeared in the sky, and Utakata recognized the Collector and chose not to resist.

• Utakata turned away from Minamoto Takuya’s direction and walked alone into the forest, leaving the Shinobi World behind.

Minamoto Takuya gathered chakra from all nine Tailed Beasts but decided to delay awakening the Ten-Tails until his mind recovered and his bloodline fusion was complete. Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha’s plot ignited a bloody Uchiha riot, and Minato Namikaze and Shisui Uchiha rushed to respond as the village’s old leaders watched the crisis unfold.

• Shisui Uchiha raised Susanoo's Spiral Sword and swung it down at the rebels.

• Minato spotted the crack in Susanoo and vanished to begin an early final assault.

Minato Namikaze shattered Shisui Uchiha’s Susanoo with a flame-enhanced Vacuum Wave and left him gravely wounded, shocking the spectators and undermining the Mangekyo Sharingan’s aura of invincibility. Shisui then awakened a more powerful form of Susanoo, while Obito Uchiha watched from hiding and began preparing to exploit the battle to eliminate him and Minato.

• Minato Namikaze used a shadow clone to draw Shisui Uchiha’s attack, then struck Susanoo’s repeatedly damaged point with a fire-fed Vacuum Wave and shattered it.

• Shisui Uchiha cauterized his wound and summoned a more complete Susanoo, determined to prove to the watching Uchiha that he had not held back.
• Shisui’s Susanoo fired destructive green arrows, and Minato Namikaze evaded them with the Flying Thunder God Technique as the blasts devastated the battlefield.

• Minato’s Spiral Light Wheel sliced through the three magatama, whose severed halves continued onward and exploded where he had stood.

Minato Namikaze defeated Shisui Uchiha’s Susanoo with a new Sage Art technique, but Obito Uchiha appeared and tried to abduct and kill the exhausted Shisui. Shisui awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan to repel Obito, who escaped, and Minato brought Shisui to Minamoto Takuya.

• Shisui opened his Mangekyō Sharingan and unleashed its power, forcing Obito to become intangible and escape through a space-time vortex.
• Shisui’s Mangekyō faded, and Minato carried him to Minamoto Takuya at the edge of the battlefield.

Minamoto Takuya and Minato Namikaze stabilized Shisui Uchiha after his devastating battle, while Fugaku Uchiha considered how Madara Uchiha’s actions had shaped the clan’s troubled place in Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi learned that Minato Namikaze had fought Shisui Uchiha and that Obito Uchiha had attacked afterward, while Obito discovered and cut out Minato’s hidden Flying Thunder God mark. Days later, the Uchiha crisis ended with the Radical Faction weakened and the clan rebuilding, as Minamoto Takuya reflected on how events had changed and examined a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan.

• Obito Uchiha ordered his allies to abandon direct action against Konoha for the time being.

• Minato Namikaze provided the Uchiha with building materials and funding, though the clan faced years of reconstruction work and debt.
• Minamoto Takuya read the report on the Uchiha crisis, noted that the Uchiha Clan Massacre Night had been averted, and looked at a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan.

Minamoto Takuya explored the transplanted Mangekyō Sharingan and discovered that Shisui Uchiha’s Kotoamatsukami was on cooldown, though he could not determine whom Shisui had targeted. He then manifested a Perfect Susanoo and began studying its power and the Mangekyō’s ocular energy to prepare for evolving his own Sharingan.

• Minamoto Takuya noticed Shisui Uchiha’s Mangekyō had blurred vision from prior overuse, but treated the damage as unimportant because the eyes were temporary.
• Minamoto Takuya discovered Kotoamatsukami was already on cooldown and wondered who Shisui Uchiha had used it on, while deciding not to investigate Shisui’s memories.

• Minamoto Takuya poured more ocular power into Susanoo, transforming it into a colossal Perfect Susanoo with legs, wings, and twin swords.
• Minamoto Takuya studied the Perfect Susanoo and the Mangekyō’s ocular power as preparation for evolving his own Sharingan.

• Minamoto Takuya experimented with Mangekyō powers, endured worsening eyesight, and resolved to master Yin Release well enough to form Susanoo without relying on his eyes.
• Minamoto Takuya told Uchiha Itachi that Shisui Uchiha's injuries had healed but his mind remained sealed in a protective coma, and urged Itachi to speak to him often.

• Minato Namikaze gave Minamoto Takuya new intelligence after asking about Shisui's condition, and Minamoto Takuya reacted with alarm as he read it.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi told Shimura Danzō that Minato Namikaze had resolved the Uchiha crisis, but Danzō rejected the news and claimed the Uchiha were evil by nature.

Shimura Danzō died after years of confinement and decline, and Minamoto Takuya attended his sparse funeral as Minato Namikaze’s representative. As the village moved ahead with rebuilding the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Itachi accepted responsibility for the effort, while Minamoto Takuya continued studying the Mangekyō Sharingan.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi reflected on the village’s role in isolating the Uchiha, but Shimura Danzō rejected his accusations before collapsing and dying.

• Minamoto Takuya entrusted Uchiha Itachi with involving villagers in rebuilding the Uchiha Clan, and Itachi showed fierce resolve to carry out the task.
• Minamoto Takuya attended Shimura Danzō’s sparsely attended funeral and noticed that Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared gravely diminished.
• Minamoto Takuya left the funeral and focused on further mastering the Mangekyō Sharingan.

After two years of failed experiments, Minamoto Takuya accepted that he might never awaken his own Mangekyō Sharingan and considered taking Obito Uchiha’s Kamui eyes as a last resort. He continued his training, demonstrated his own incomplete Susanoo, and ended by searching for another way to awaken his Mangekyō.

• Minamoto Takuya concluded that his ocular power had stopped growing and doubted that he could feel the love or grief needed to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Minamoto Takuya considered obtaining Kakashi Hatake’s Kamui eye to exploit its connection to Obito Uchiha’s eye, but worried that transplanting foreign eyes could prevent him from reaching the Rinnegan.

• Minamoto Takuya formed a black skeletal Susanoo using his Three Tomoe Sharingan, Yin Release understanding, and chakra, despite not having awakened his own Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Minamoto Takuya dispersed the Susanoo, resumed sage training, and pondered whether another method could awaken his Mangekyō.

Minamoto Takuya, a transmigrator with mediocre natural talent, pursued forbidden techniques and the Uzumaki and Uchiha bloodlines to overcome his limitations. After obtaining an Uzumaki bloodline sample and joining Konoha’s battlefield sealing squad to seek Uchiha remains, he attempted to switch a real corpse for a fake and was seized by a bone-deep chill.

• Minamoto Takuya accepted that he had no system and only mediocre chakra reserves, then resolved to transcend his limits by obtaining the Chimera Technique or Earth Grudge Fear.
