• Kaido arrived at Hachinosu and demanded that Uchiha Yoru come out, threatening to destroy the island when Fugaku said Yoru was absent.

• Yoru ordered Moria and Yoriichi Tsugikuni to take over the territories of Kaido and Whitebeard and leave Big Mom and Red-Hair's lands untouched for now.
• Moria led the twenty legendary pirates before the island's gathered pirates and announced that he would plant Uchiha's flag across the Grand Line.

Uchiha Yoru returned to Konoha after six months away and learned that four villages had launched a war against it. He dispatched the four previous Hokage and summoned former Uchiha leaders and other powerful fighters to reinforce the defenses, then left to search other worlds for Sasuke and the missing Uchiha.

• Uchiha Yoru returned to Konoha with Fugaku, the Uchiha elites, and Akatsuki, where Itachi told him that Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure had attacked three months earlier.

Whitebeard returned from the dead through Uchiha Yoru’s power, rescued A·0 from Weevil and Stussy, and began reclaiming his former territory under the Uchiha flag. As the Five Elders confronted Kuzan over the upheaval, Sōsuke Aizen appeared in their chamber and stopped Saint Nusjuro’s attack with one finger.

• Edward Weevil defeated A·0 and prepared to kill him until Whitebeard arrived and overwhelmed Weevil with a single strike.
• Whitebeard spared Stussy, comforted A·0, explained that an Uchiha Clan secret technique had brought him back from the Pure Land, and claimed he would reclaim his territory.
• Resurrected figures spread across the Grand Line under the Uchiha flag, prompting the Five Elders to question Fleet Admiral Kuzan about Uchiha Yoru.
• Jaygarcia Saturn Saint gave Kuzan one month to find Uchiha Yoru or lose his position as Fleet Admiral.
• Sōsuke Aizen appeared unnoticed in the Five Elders’ chamber and stopped Saint Nusjuro’s blade with one finger.

Aizen confronted the Five Elders, defeated them with his Illusion, and discovered that their souls let them regenerate. Drawn into the Room of Flowers by Imu, he tried to hypnotize the ruler but learned that Imu was fused with the world and could forbid falsehood; Aizen greeted the failure of his power with excitement as their confrontation began.

• Aizen deflected Saint Nusjuro's slash and sent him crashing through a wall before demanding to know which Elder was Imu.
• Aizen used Illusion to make the Five Elders attack one another, leaving all five apparently dead within minutes.

• Imu's immense Conqueror's Haki stopped Aizen from attacking the recovering Elders, then summoned him to the Room of Flowers.
• Aizen declared that he sought to become a god, and Imu claimed to be the god of the world as they challenged each other's authority.
• Aizen's complete hypnosis shattered against Imu's rule that the world permitted no falsehood, and Aizen became excited to face a genuine opponent.

Aizen fought Imu in the Room of Flowers, using increasingly powerful Hōgyoku transformations to test Imu’s rule-altering defenses. After deducing that Imu was trapped and wanted Aizen to destroy the Room of Flowers, Aizen provoked Imu into killing him, but the Hōgyoku escaped and restored him above Mary Geoise.

• Aizen attacked Imu with Hadō #90 and Hadō #99, but Imu’s shadow monsters swallowed the dragons and then lunged at him.
• Aizen entered the Hōgyoku’s second fusion stage, destroyed the shadow monsters with his Zanpakutō, and survived Imu’s shadow blade through his heart.
• Aizen reached the fourth fusion stage and bombarded Imu with dragons, Cero, and stone dragons, but Imu’s rule-altering power erased the attacks.
• Aizen realized Imu was avoiding the Hōgyoku and encouraging his evolution, then reverted to his first fusion stage and deduced that Imu was trapped in the Room of Flowers.
• Aizen concluded that Imu wanted him to destroy the Room of Flowers, provoking Imu into unleashing overwhelming Conqueror’s Haki that disintegrated Aizen and his soul.
• The Hōgyoku escaped Imu and restored Aizen above Mary Geoise, where Aizen dismissed Imu as a pitiful god.

Uchiha Yoru arrived in the Ashen Woods of the Flaming Mountains and joined the Destined One and Zhu Bajie. He learned that someone with red eyes had gone up the mountain to find Red Boy and never returned, raising the possibility that Sasuke was there.

• Uchiha Yoru entered the Ashen Woods, where Zhu Bajie in boar form killed the monsters surrounding him.
• The Destined One and Zhu Bajie met Yoru, who recognized them and realized he was in the world of Black Myth: Wukong.
• The Destined One and Zhu Bajie explained that they were heading to the Flaming Mountains, and Yoru joined them.
• At the mountain gate, Hao Fu Lishi warned them that Red Boy had blocked the paths with the fiery Five Elements Carts.
• Yoru learned that a red-eyed man had destroyed one cart and gone up the mountain to find Red Boy, but had never returned.

Uchiha Yoru discovered that the world operated by game mechanics after seeing health bars above the Destined One and the Brown Iron Chariot. As the group climbed the Flaming Mountains, a disguised Red Boy revealed that Inabi had been captured, and Yoru went ahead toward Princess Iron Fan’s bedchamber, eager to test himself against the demons.

• Uchiha Yoru watched the Destined One destroy the Brown Iron Chariot and realized that the world’s game mechanics affected how battles unfolded.
• The Destined One and Zhu Bajie fought Swift as Fire and Swift as Wind while Uchiha Yoru freed a fox demon from a tree.
• The fox introduced himself as Pingping, claimed Red Boy had imprisoned the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan, and told Yoru that a man with eyes like his had been captured and made a guard.
• Uchiha Yoru concluded that the captured man was probably Inabi, then followed the group as they detoured around the mountain’s flames toward Princess Iron Fan’s bedchamber.
• Cloudy Mist and Mountain God Misty Cloud engaged the Destined One, while Zhu Bajie and Pingping entered the bedchamber and Yoru moved ahead to seek a fight.

• Yoru defeated the Red Silver Chariot by dodging its attacks and striking it with Complete Body Susanoo, then learned from Hao Fu Lishi that the Bishui Golden-Eyed Beast had vanished.
• Pingping used the Plantain Fan to extinguish the flames blocking the mountain road, and Yoru and the Destined One defeated the Red Gold Chariot after finding Hao Fu Lishi mortally wounded.
• Yoru and the Destined One defeated the Bishui Golden-Eyed Beast in Bishui Cave and discovered that Red Boy was an orphan of the Yaksha Kingdom.
• Yoru and the others reached the summit and found the wounded Bull Demon King beside Inabi, who revealed that Red Boy had captured him after he lost their fight.
• Inabi told Yoru that he planned to pretend to serve Red Boy before attacking him by surprise, and Yoru replied that betrayal was wrong.

Yoru exposed Red Boy’s deception and watched the Destined One defeat him, but Red Boy seized the Great Sage Relic and transformed into a powerful Yaksha King. As the fight turned against the Destined One and Zhu Bajie, Yoru moved to take control of the battle by directing the Destined One’s actions.

• Yoru warned the Bull Demon King that Red Boy was faking his death, and Red Boy resumed his fight with the Destined One.
• Princess Iron Fan tried to protect Red Boy, but he seized her and forced the Bull Demon King to surrender the Great Sage Relic.
• Red Boy swallowed the relic and transformed into a Yaksha King, then overpowered the Destined One, Zhu Bajie, and Yoru.
• Zhu Bajie risked his life to protect the unconscious Destined One while Yoru went to help him recover.
• Yoru asked the recovering Destined One to follow his instructions so they could defeat Red Boy.

Yoru directed the Destined One and Zhu Bajie in a strategy that defeated Red Boy, who killed himself rather than surrender. After the Destined One collected the Great Sage Relic, he rewarded Yoru with four pills, and Yoru and Inabi returned through Amenotejikara.

• Yoru told the Destined One to use charged staff strikes and Spell Binder while Zhu Bajie drew Red Boy's attention, and the pair followed his instructions to evade Red Boy's attacks.
• The Destined One's repeated heavy strikes depleted Red Boy's health, and Yoru warned the others to retreat from Red Boy's wide-area Samadhi Fire attacks until Red Boy was defeated.

• The Destined One collected the Great Sage Relic and gave Yoru four pills in gratitude for helping defeat Red Boy, while Zhu Bajie wondered whether Yoru was an immortal.
• Yoru and Inabi left the Plantain Fan behind and used Amenotejikara to return from the Flaming Mountains.
