• Hyuga Tamamo asked Shin what he wanted her to say and told him to do as he pleased when he asked if she was trying to force him to kill her.

• Shin asked Hyuga Tamamo whether she had considered what would happen to the Hyuga Clan if she died, but she said she no longer cared what he did to them.
• Hyuga Tamamo said she wanted Shin's life, and he calmly acknowledged that he had destroyed the Hyuga Clan and killed her father.
• Shin argued that the Hyuga Clan had attacked him first and that vengeance was a natural consequence of the killings committed during the Warring States Period.

• Shin said neither he nor Hyuga Tamamo was wrong after their conflict had grown into hatred, and that the world was at fault.
• Shin questioned why powerful figures such as the Sage of Six Paths, Senju Hashirama, and Uchiha Madara had devoted themselves to changing the world.

• Shin focused on solving the problem of longevity for himself and the women around him, considering how to seal his time-related ocular techniques in a scroll.
• Shin and Uzumaki Mito began researching a Time Scroll, though sealing the power of time proved difficult.

Mito developed the theory for a new Yin-Yang Space-Time Seal capable of containing space-time power, but the technique required enormous chakra and a vessel made from rare, gently vital material. Shin gathered century-old dawn redwood bark and a Water Origin Pearl, then went to the Tenseigan on the moon to continue the work.

• After months of research and seclusion, Mito gave Shin her theoretical design for the Yin-Yang Space-Time Seal and fell asleep from mental exhaustion.
• Shin read Mito's scroll and learned that the seal required vast amounts of chakra and a material with intense but gentle vitality.
• Shin ordered Akatsuki to collect century-old dawn redwood bark, and the organization found three pieces while Hyuga Tamamo brought back two from the Hyuga Clan.
• Shin had the five pieces of bark and the base's Water Origin Pearl brought to him, then traveled alone to the moon and went to the Tenseigan.

Shin used the Giant Tenseigan and the Water Origin Pearl to create a space-time scroll capable of containing the Time Eye Technique. He completed the first scroll by the next day, with the process proceeding smoothly.

• Shin used the Tenseigan to inscribe a sealing pattern onto dawn redwood paper, but its chakra burned through the sheet.
• Shin covered the paper with chakra from the Water Origin Pearl, which strengthened it and calmed the Yin-Yang Release pattern.
• Shin used the Tenseigan to draw the full sealing pattern, completing the first Sealing Technique after about three hours.
• Shin placed his hand on the Giant Tenseigan and sealed the power of the Time Eye Technique into the pattern.
• Shin completed the first space-time scroll the next day after hours of intense concentration.

After completing five space-time scrolls that slowed time, Shin gave four to Mito, the maid, Akabane Koromo, and Hyuga Tamamo, then brought the last one to Uchiha Madara. Madara refused it, choosing to accept the natural course of life and death while hoping to grow stronger through his work with the Ten-Tails' shell.

• After finishing the five scrolls and recovering on the moon, Shin returned to the Main World and gave one to Mito.
• Shin gave another scroll to the maid, then delivered two to Akabane Koromo and Hyuga Tamamo at Akatsuki's base.
• Shin brought the remaining scroll to Uchiha Madara, who asked him for experimental equipment to study the Ten-Tails' shell.
• Shin explained that the scroll could slow time, but Uchiha Madara returned it, unwilling to keep living through Shin's help and give up the chance to catch up to him.
• Uchiha Madara said he would let nature take its course, continue his research, and perhaps gain insight from the world of the dead.

After years of peace and preparation, Shin moved most of the Uchiha Clan to the moon, established a time barrier there, and continued supporting Akatsuki’s growth. With his plans in place and no immediate threats, Shin was left waiting for the story’s plot to begin.

• Uchiha Madara refused Shin’s spacetime scroll but supported Shin’s plan to move the Uchiha Clan to the moon and left clan decisions to him.

• With his preparations complete, Shin sat on the moon’s surface and watched the Main World, wondering when the plot would begin.

Shin observed the peaceful growth of Konoha under Senju Tobirama while Hyuga Tamamo awakened the Tenseigan and Akatsuki expanded its network of agents. The chapter left Tobirama consolidating Hokage authority through reforms that reduced the influence of Konoha’s great clans.
