• Shimura Danzō entered Kirigakure after using his Sharingan to immobilize the guards, then bowed to Shisui, whom he regarded as his master.
• Shisui asked Danzō whether the Sharingan in his right eye had truly belonged to Kagami Uchiha.

• Orochimaru welcomed Shisui to Otogakure and arranged for him to eat after his journey from Kirigakure.
• Shisui asked Orochimaru about Danzo’s message and learned that Danzo had promised to share Orochimaru’s research results in exchange for something Shisui possessed.

Two months after arriving in Otogakure, Shisui spent a rare relaxed afternoon with Orochimaru’s five newly adopted orphans, the future Sound Four and Jirobo, before returning to the laboratory. He left the others reassured that Jirobo was only being made to clean, while Shisui and Orochimaru prepared to continue experiments aimed at solving Hashirama Cell transplantation.

• Kidomaru grilled a wild boar while Tayuya, Sakon, and Ukon bickered, and they explained that Jirobo had been sent to the experimental base after neglecting an assignment.

• Hanzo ordered the Rain Ninja to attack Akatsuki, and Yahiko and Nagato raised a Water Wall while the group suffered casualties.
• Biwa Juzo, Suikazan Fuguki, and Raiga Kurosuki held back, following their orders to block Akatsuki’s escape rather than join the attack.

• Hanzo targeted Nagato with a Water Dragon Bullet, which Nagato repelled, then threw his chained sickle at him.

Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan fought Hanzo as Akatsuki members fled and Raiga Kurosuki attacked them. After Nagato saved Konan from a fatal wound, Yahiko took Hanzo’s scythe meant for Nagato, and Nagato desperately tried to save him as Hanzo recovered and approached again.

• Hanzo used Water Release attacks against Nagato while Raiga Kurosuki struck fleeing Akatsuki members with lightning from Kiba.
• Nagato used Shinra Tensei to stop Hanzo’s attack, but Hanzo appeared behind him; Yahiko deflected the scythe, and Konan’s paper spear struck only a Water Clone.

• Yahiko told Nagato to flee with Konan, but Hanzo attacked Nagato again, and Yahiko took the scythe through his chest.

• Hanzo revealed that his blade had carried Ibuse’s poison, and Yahiko died in Nagato’s arms after asking him to care for himself and Konan.
• Enraged by Yahiko’s death, Nagato summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which drained his chakra and life force and appeared as the Ten-Tails’ husk.

• Nagato and Konan mourned Yahiko and Akatsuki’s ruin, while Nagato concluded that power was necessary to hold things together.
• Shisui trained Tayuya, Sakon, Ukon, Kidomaru, and Jirobo, criticizing their fighting weaknesses and urging them to use the Telepathy Technique together.
• Yakushi Kabuto arrived and told Shisui that Orochimaru had sent for him with news.
• Shisui ordered the Sound Four to pack and left with Kabuto, hoping Orochimaru’s work had finally succeeded.

Shisui tested Orochimaru’s serum, restored some of his ocular power, and received more doses before giving Orochimaru another White Zetsu corpse. He returned to Kirigakure with Tayuya to take control of Yagura, while Madara dismissed Black Zetsu’s suspicions about him.

• Shisui confirmed that Orochimaru’s serum replenished his ocular power and shortened his Mangekyō Sharingan’s cooldown.
• Orochimaru gave Shisui two more serum doses, and Shisui gave him a White Zetsu corpse for his research.

• Black Zetsu agreed to watch for trouble from Shisui as Madara insisted that Shisui would be tempted by greater Uchiha power.
• Shisui returned to Kirigakure with Tayuya, and four guards pretended to fall asleep to avoid his genjutsu.

Shisui used Yamata to absorb Madara's Mangekyō Sharingan, raising his Indra Bloodline development to 76% and gaining two new eye techniques. He left with greater chakra reserves and abilities that could suppress or awaken bloodline powers, though Kamimusubi entered a year-long cooldown after use.

• After Shisui received Madara's legacy, Madara severed his life force from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and died, leaving Shisui his Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Shisui used Yamata to condense the Mangekyō's bloodline essence, drinking Orochimaru's serum to sustain his left eye through the process.
• Shisui absorbed the remaining essence, increasing his Indra Bloodline development to 76% and sensing that his eyes were nearing Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Shisui gained Kōringon, which temporarily suppressed powerful bloodline abilities, and Kamimusubi, which could promote bloodline awakening and development.
• Shisui learned Kamimusubi consumed substantial ocular power and would place his right Mangekyō in a separate cooldown of about a year, then noted his chakra reserves had doubled.

Shisui had Shimura Danzō report on Kirigakure’s bloodline clans and offered him real power in the village in exchange for helping weaken them. Danzō embraced the role and began planning the Village of the Bloody Mist, while Karatachi Yagura remained Mizukage in name.

• Shimura Danzō reported that Kirigakure and the Land of Water had eleven bloodline clans, including 113 surviving members of the Kaguya Clan led by Taketori Nihi.
• Shisui explained that his genjutsu made Karatachi Yagura appear natural and that Kotoamatsukami had bent Danzō’s loyalty toward him.
• Shisui promised Danzō authority equivalent to the Mizukage and said he could take the position officially as the Fifth Mizukage once Shisui secured control of Kirigakure.
• Danzō accepted the offer and eagerly imagined competing with Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze through his influence over Kirigakure.
• Shisui tasked Danzō with weakening the bloodline clans, and Danzō agreed to devise a plan called the Village of the Bloody Mist.

Shisui took over Uchiha Madara's secret base and examined the late warlord's remains and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, resisting the urge to plunder either. He agreed to advance the Eye of the Moon Plan and ordered Shimura Danzō to recruit Nagato, while warning Black Zetsu not to interfere in Kirigakure.

• Black Zetsu and White Zetsu showed Shisui Uchiha Madara's body and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and Shisui recognized that Black Zetsu had no bloodline to plunder.
• Shisui's system detected the bloodlines in Uchiha Madara's remains, but Shisui followed his instincts and used Earth Release to seal the body in a stone coffin.
• Shisui inspected the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and learned from the system that devouring the Ten-Tails' vitality would consume an immense amount of chakra and ocular power.
• Black Zetsu explained that the plan required capturing the Nine Tailed Beasts and sealing their chakra into the statue, and revealed that Nagato Uzumaki had inherited Madara's Rinnegan.
• Shisui said Shimura Danzō would recruit Nagato, then threatened Black Zetsu after learning he knew about Danzō's schemes against the Kaguya Clan.
