Karin found Toneri frozen in time on the moon and realized the technique’s user might be at the Research Institute battlefield. Meanwhile, Kinshiki was overwhelmed by Haku and Daemon, and Momoshiki’s weakening chakra prompted Kinshiki to rush to his aid before the ninja ambushed him.

• Karin, Hikari, and Yakumo reunited with Haku, Ada, Daemon, and Eida, and Ada said Urashiki's Chakra was on the same level as 'A.'

• Karin and Hikari brought the bound Kinshiki to Momoshiki's cell, and Momoshiki learned that Urashiki had escaped.

He found Toneri trapped by Urashiki’s time freeze and joined Karin and Hikari, explaining that Urashiki was far stronger than he had appeared.

• Little Round assessed that the Overlord would destroy World No. 2 in 51 days, and Shinji opened a Space Rift to the Shinobi World.
• Shinji learned that the Flying Fortress had captured Momoshiki and Kinshiki, Urashiki remained at large, and Toneri was trapped on the moon.

• Shinji explained that the Otsutsuki often lacked combat experience and willpower despite their great strength.

• Shinji explained to Hikari that Otsutsuki should be underestimated strategically but taken seriously in battle, and identified Urashiki’s escape technique as Yomotsu Hirasaka.
• Shinji arrived at the temporary prison with Karin and Hikari, where Neji and Kimimaro guarded Momoshiki and Kinshiki.

• Shinji told Momoshiki and Kinshiki that Isshiki was dead and admitted he had lured them to the Shinobi World with information about a Chakra Fruit.
• Shinji studied Momoshiki’s Red Rinnegan and considered how devouring Kinshiki could give Momoshiki a Golden Rinnegan, but decided sacrificing Kinshiki was not worthwhile.

Shinji took the eyes of Momoshiki and Kinshiki, intending to use their dōjutsu and Chakra to create a Golden Rinnegan. He then planned to lure Urashiki with the Giant Tenseigan and the Plow, an Otsutsuki treasure tool that could travel through time.

• Momoshiki and Kinshiki tried to persuade Shinji that they were kin, but he rejected their appeal.
• Shinji removed Kinshiki's Byakugan, then took Momoshiki's Red Rinnegan and Byakugan and stored the eyes in nutrient tanks.
• Shinji told Neji and Kimimaro to guard the sealed Otsutsuki and alert Karin or Hikari if anything went wrong.
• Hikari and Karin worried about Urashiki's escape, and Shinji proposed using the Giant Tenseigan as bait.
• Hikari went to the moon to guard the Giant Tenseigan, while Shinji told Karin that Urashiki might also seek the Plow, a treasure tool that could travel through time.

Shinji learned that the time-traveling artifact called the “plow” might be somewhere in a ruin and ordered Konoha to search the Land of Fire, hoping to use it to draw Urashiki out. He then used the Susanoo Lamp to wield Momoshiki and Kinshiki’s eyes alongside a Red Rinnegan, discovered their powerful Dojutsu, and prepared to fuse them.

• Karin asked Shinji where the “plow” was, and he explained that it should be somewhere in a lost ruin.
• Shinji told Karin to have Konoha search the Land of Fire for the “plow” and use publicity about finding it to lure Urashiki.
• Shinji went to the central training ground and used the Susanoo Lamp to equip Momoshiki and Kinshiki’s Byakugan and a Red Rinnegan.
• Shinji found that the Otsutsuki eyes greatly enhanced his Dojutsu and identified the Red Rinnegan’s Takamusubi and the Byakugan’s Sacrificial Pill Refinement and Power God.
• Shinji considered fusing the eyes to recreate Momoshiki’s Golden Rinnegan.

Shinji fused Momoshiki’s Byakugan and Red Rinnegan into a Golden Rinnegan, then risked fusing it with Kinshiki’s Byakugan. The fusion succeeded but produced an unexpected pair of pure golden Byakugan.

• Shinji weighed the risks of losing Dojutsu in the Susanoo Lamp fusion and decided that preserving Takamusubi mattered most.
• Momoshiki’s Byakugan and Red Rinnegan fused quickly into a Golden Rinnegan.
• Shinji continued by fusing Kinshiki’s Byakugan with the Golden Rinnegan, despite the unusually high strain and risk of losing both pairs of eyes.
• Shinji poured the rest of his Dojutsu into the Susanoo Lamp, and the fusion completed successfully.
• Shinji examined the result and found pure golden Byakugan without Tomoe or the Rinnegan’s ripple pattern.
