Kazuhiko experimented with traits, briefly gaining Shisui’s Phantom Body Flicker before exhausting himself, then awakened a fused Perfect Double Tomoe Sharingan. He discovered that traits of the same kind could fuse and began combining other abilities.

Kazuhiko pushed himself through exhausting Shadow Clone taijutsu training to permanently lock in his Uchiha-Konoha style, then attended a medical conference about the Psychology Clinic’s first treatment. Eri protected the clinic from Kenichi’s challenge, and Kazuhiko faced several possible outcomes for treating Uchiha Shota the next day.

• Kazuhiko trained in taijutsu with three Shadow Clones, collapsed from exhaustion, and saw his Uchiha-Konoha style mastery reach 80% permanent progress.
• At the Clan Clinic conference, Eri announced that Kazuhiko’s Psychology Clinic would treat Uchiha Shota the next day and assigned Uchiha Kosuke to evaluate the procedure.

• Eri refused outside involvement, said a clan elder would witness the procedure, and ended the meeting.
• Afterward, Kazuhiko saw possible worldlines in which he either failed or successfully treated Shota, with the best outcome involving Shota awakening his Sharingan.

Kazuhiko chose to help Shota resolve his psychological problems and awaken his Sharingan, while learning that Eri’s favorability had reached a new maximum. Kurenai returned to the Psychology Clinic with two Yūhi Clan genjutsu scrolls that could help Kazuhiko make his genjutsu world more realistic.

Kazuhiko attended the Uchiha midmonth clan gathering, where Shisui revealed that Uchiha ninja would be sent to the front against Cloud Village.

At an Uchiha clan meeting, Fugaku argued that the clan should join the war against Cloud Village and avoid killing Danzo, while Amano and Yutaro demanded stronger action against Konoha’s leadership. Yutaro called for the Uchiha to fight for equal treatment and proposed impeaching Sarutobi Hiruzen after the war, leaving the clan’s decision unresolved.

Kazuhiko demonstrated his psychological treatment to Uchiha elders by using genjutsu on Shota, while the clan members discovered that Kazuhiko had awakened a Double-Tomoe Sharingan. Inside the illusion, Shota experienced a future in which he became a war hero and Anbu operative before being ordered to purge his clan.

• Amano announced that the Uchiha Clan would accept the Hokage's large-scale conscription, and the clan meeting concluded amid angry complaints about Konoha and its leaders.

• Kazuhiko brought Shota into the operating room and used genjutsu to put him to sleep; observers were astonished to see Kazuhiko's Double-Tomoe Sharingan.
• Kazuhiko amplified his genjutsu with a specially made Chakra Metal Patch, causing Shota to fall back into a deep illusion after he began to resist.
• In the illusion, Shota became a war hero, awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, defeated Hyuga Yizu, and joined the Anbu before being ordered to purge the Uchiha Clan in exchange for sparing one person.

Kazuhiko’s genjutsu made Shota experience the Uchiha clan’s planned extermination and Moe’s death, triggering Shota’s One-Tomoe Sharingan. Shota remained trapped in the illusion, leaving the Uchiha stunned by the strength of Kazuhiko’s genjutsu as it continued.

• In the genjutsu, Shota refused to lead the Uchiha in exterminating the clan and tried to flee with them, but a Root shinobi publicly killed Moe.
• Overwhelmed by grief, Shota awakened his Sharingan while strapped to the operating chair, and the Uchiha in the Observation Room confirmed it was real.
• Yuta celebrated Shota’s awakening, while Kenichi and Shisui explained that Kazuhiko’s genjutsu had been realistic enough to trigger it.
• Shio realized Shota was still immersed in the illusion despite awakening his Sharingan and concluded Kazuhiko’s genjutsu had to be extraordinarily powerful.
• Shio watched as Kazuhiko continued channeling chakra into Shota, and Kazuhiko’s genjutsu carried on.

Kazuhiko’s powerful Sharingan genjutsu impressed the Uchiha elders, who predicted he would become an elite Jonin. In the genjutsu, Shota survived his mother’s sacrifice and reached Kumogakure, where he found her dead in Yuta’s arms.

• Yutaro recognized Kazuhiko’s exceptional eye power and praised him as a late-blooming Uchiha genius.
• Shota and his clan fled through the mountains while pursuers followed, and Mako gave Shota rice balls before they stopped to rest.
• When the pursuers triggered a trap, Mako drew lots with Shota to decide who would stay behind; Shota drew the short twig, but Mako revealed she had kept the shorter one and chose to stay.
• Mako urged Shota to protect the clan and handed him a sealing scroll before disappearing into the woods to face the pursuers.
• Five days later, Shota reached Kumogakure with the Uchiha rear guard and found Mako dead in Yuta’s arms, her eye sockets empty.

Shota awakened the Double-Tomoe Sharingan while reliving his mother’s death and imagining revenge against Konoha. As Kazuhiko struggled to maintain the genjutsu, Shota experienced his father’s sacrifice and began showing signs of a possible Three-Tomoe awakening.

• Mako’s death drove Shota to grief in the genjutsu, and his chakra surged as he broke free enough to awaken the Double-Tomoe Sharingan.
• The Uchiha in the Observation Room noticed Shota’s new Sharingan, while Kazuhiko struggled to sustain the genjutsu and injected drugs to suppress Shota’s chakra.
• Shota’s imagined revenge led him to fight Konoha alongside Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure, killing Sarutobi Asuma and targeting the village elders.
• Danzō revealed the Sharingan in his arm and activated Susanoo, but Yuta pushed Shota beyond the range of Danzō’s Four Symbols Seal and sacrificed himself.
• Shota’s grief and rage made his chakra surge again in the operating room, prompting the Uchiha to suspect he was awakening the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Kazuhiko’s psychological therapy helped Shota awaken the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, prompting the Uchiha elders to approve a secret Psychology Clinic and recognize Kazuhiko’s influence.

• Kazuhiko received a completed worldline mission reward and unlocked a promotion mission that required passing the Chunin Exams using a chosen ninja specialty.
• Kazuhiko considered combining two promotion routes to shape his future Mangekyo abilities, but wished he could choose all six.

Kazuhiko weighed which promotion mission would shape his future Mangekyō Sharingan technique, then learned that Danzo had marked him for elimination while Hiruzen had grown friendly toward him. He planned to exploit Hiruzen’s goodwill and prepare to strike Danzo and Root before they could attack him.

• Kazuhiko compared possible Mangekyō branches, rejecting ninjutsu and support techniques while leaving genjutsu, taijutsu, space-time, summoning, and sealing options under consideration.
• Deep Blue reported that Shimura Danzo’s favorability had fallen to Hatred, unlocked Danzo’s trait pool, and granted Kazuhiko two Kage Level trait draw opportunities.

• Kazuhiko told Eri and Hideki he had accepted an S-rank mission, and Eri guessed that Tsunade was the target.
