Arc 5The Moon Eye Plan
Madara reclaimed the Rinnegan and pursued the Moon Eye Plan as Liao Wu took control of the Rain Village and grew stronger. The Leaf learned the plan’s details, and Liao Wu connected Madara to its leaders for a direct conversation.
- Madara took Nagato’s Rinnegan, recruited him to the Moon Eye Plan, and pursued Hanzō and Danzō as Minato freed Obito from Madara’s control.
- Liao Wu persuaded the Rain Village and Akatsuki survivors to follow Madara, but a Tenseigan strike devastated the Land of Rain and left Madara gravely injured.
- Liao Wu helped Madara recover, took steps to control Amegakure, and discussed the Moon Eye Plan with Nagato, Konan, Tsunade, and Kuhon.
- Minato learned that Liao Wu’s White Zetsu Spores could spy on and threaten the Leaf, while Obito revealed that Madara planned to revive the Ten-Tails and cast Infinite Tsukuyomi.
- The Third Hokage and the Two Toad Sages learned the Moon Eye Plan, and Shikaku reported that Liao Wu had seized Rain Village and renamed it U-Village.
- Tsunade persuaded Liao Wu to secure the Rain Daimyo’s support rather than terrorize him, while Nagato accepted Kuhon as his sister and disaster relief progressed.
- Liao Wu connected his Spore Clone to the Leaf, where Minato refused to surrender Kushina and the Third Hokage vowed not to abandon the village’s people.
- Madara agreed to speak with the Leaf’s leaders after Liao Wu visited his underground base, and Liao Wu opened a Chakra channel between them.
