Toneri revealed that the first Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion had come from Otsutsuki Hagoromo or Hamura Otsutsuki, but Xuanye still prepared to kill him, leaving Toneri to face his death with defiance.

• Xuanye realized the moon could support life and decided it met his requirements.

Xuanye confronted Hamura Otsutsuki over the brothers’ disregard for mortal lives and fought him to stop the Otsutsuki on the moon from standing in the way of his plan to plant the divine tree. As Hamura entered Tenseigan Chakra Mode, Xuanye used his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, leaving the battle poised at its decisive moment.

• Xuanye accused Hamura Otsutsuki of intervening only after Xuanye became a threat, and decided that Hamura was his enemy along with Hagoromo.

• Xuanye challenged Hamura’s confidence and revealed that Hagoromo feared confronting him directly.
• Hamura slowed as he met Xuanye’s Mystic Eyes of Death Perception just before their bodies collided.

Xuanye killed Hamura Otsutsuki and Toneri, then planted the Divine Tree Seed in the moon’s chakra-scarred canyon. The Divine Tree began consuming the moon’s ecosystem, the Otsutsuki corpses, Hamura’s scattered chakra, and the Giant Tenseigan.

• Hamura used repulsion to escape Xuanye’s close-range death strike and attacked with the Golden Wheel and Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosions.
• Xuanye used space-time ninjutsu to appear behind Hamura and killed him by cutting his line of death with Musō Isshin.

• The Divine Tree extended its vines toward the Giant Tenseigan, and Xuanye allowed it to absorb the eye’s power.

Xuanye accelerated the Divine Tree’s growth with Otsutsuki corpses, and it began absorbing chakra from the moon as a glowing flower bud formed. In the Pure Land, Uchiha Madara awakened and confronted Otsutsuki Hagoromo, suspecting that the Sage had saved him to use his power.

• Xuanye fed Urashiki Otsutsuki’s corpse to the Divine Tree, whose roots spread through the moon in search of chakra.
• The Divine Tree grew a Spiral Tower-like trunk and formed a glowing red flower bud as Xuanye anticipated the Chakra Fruit it would produce.
• Uchiha Madara awakened in the Pure Land and realized that his soul had returned there after the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion interrupted his transformation.
• Otsutsuki Hagoromo told Madara that he had briefly awakened his consciousness and broken the rules of the Pure Land to save him.
• Madara accused Hagoromo of wanting to use his power and questioned why the Sage had left saving the world to future generations.

Otsutsuki Hagoromo warned Uchiha Madara that Infinite Tsukuyomi was a trap manipulated by Black Zetsu, then urged him to oppose Uchiha Genya. When Hagoromo sensed the chakra on the moon vanish, he realized Uchiha Genya had killed Hamura and cried out in grief.

• Otsutsuki Hagoromo told Uchiha Madara that Infinite Tsukuyomi would drain the world's chakra and turn its people into White Zetsu, and that Black Zetsu had altered the Stone Tablet.
• Uchiha Madara recognized Black Zetsu as a schemer but said he would not fight Uchiha Genya, whom he had failed to challenge seriously.
• Otsutsuki Hagoromo claimed Uchiha Genya threatened the Ninja World's peace and survival, while concealing that Infinite Tsukuyomi was intended to resurrect his mother.
• Otsutsuki Hagoromo sensed Hamura's Tenseigan Chakra Mode flare on the moon and then rapidly disappear.
• Otsutsuki Hagoromo realized Uchiha Genya had killed Hamura and cried out in grief.

Madara rejected Hagoromo's attempt to use him, and Hagoromo revealed that Madara had inherited Indra's power rather than being his son.

• Otsutsuki Hagoromo sensed the Ten-Tails' presence on the moon and concluded that Hamura had been killed beyond any chance of resurrection.

• Otsutsuki Hagoromo warned Uchiha Madara that Genya might be an outsider who intended to kill everyone and collect their chakra.
• Otsutsuki Hagoromo revealed that Madara and Senju Hashirama had been the reincarnations of Indra and Asura, then clarified that Madara had inherited Indra's power rather than being Indra himself.

Otsutsuki Hagoromo warned Uchiha Madara that Uchiha Genya’s power threatened the Ninja World and offered him the power of the Sage of Six Paths to stop him. Meanwhile, Uchiha Genya found that his Divine Tree still lacked enough nourishment to produce a Chakra Fruit.

• Otsutsuki Hagoromo explained to Uchiha Madara that chakra originated with Kaguya Otsutsuki and that Uchiha Genya’s power lay outside the chakra system.
• Uchiha Madara questioned how he could defeat Uchiha Genya after being thoroughly beaten and losing his Rinnegan.
• Otsutsuki Hagoromo offered Uchiha Madara the power of the Sage of Six Paths, but Madara hesitated because he suspected the gift carried a hidden price.
• Uchiha Genya examined the Divine Tree’s growth and found that even the three Otsutsuki and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had not provided enough nourishment for a Chakra Fruit.
• Uchiha Genya concluded that he needed more natural energy or additional Otsutsuki sacrifices to make the Divine Tree produce a Chakra Fruit.

Xuanye discovered that the Divine Tree on the moon would take decades to bear a Chakra Fruit, so he decided to hunt Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s vessel, Jigen, to accelerate its growth. Kaguya Otsutsuki contacted him and offered power in exchange for control of the tree, but Xuanye realized she was still weakened and sealed.

• Xuanye judged that the Divine Tree needed several decades to produce a Chakra Fruit and decided to feed it Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s incarnation, Jigen.
• Xuanye planned to leave the Divine Tree on the moon under Konoha experts’ guard and travel between it and the Ninja World using his Flying Thunder God mark.
• Kaguya Otsutsuki spoke to Xuanye through his mind, explaining that his slash had loosened her seal and freed some of her chakra.
• Kaguya asked Xuanye to hand over control of the Divine Tree, promising to make him the planet’s second master after she ate its Chakra Fruit.
• Xuanye mocked Kaguya’s offer and concluded that she remained trapped and lacked the power to seize the Divine Tree herself.

Xuanye rejected Kaguya Otsutsuki’s attempt to bargain for the Chakra Fruit and returned to Konoha after making plans to guard the divine tree on the moon. He found the village on high alert, reassured the people waiting in his office, and explained why he had fought alone.

• Kaguya Otsutsuki threatened and cursed Xuanye, but he refused to give her the Chakra Fruit or trust her promises.
• Xuanye severed his chakra connection to Kaguya and created clones to watch over the moon until Konoha’s fighters could help guard the divine tree.
• Xuanye used Flying Thunder God to return to his office in the Castle Keep, where Uchiha Hikari, Tsunade, Yugito, Hong Dou, Nonō, Kaho, and others awaited him.
• Kakashi and Guy had sent the Anbu and Security Division to control the village, which was on its highest alert.
• Tsunade scolded Xuanye for fighting alone, and he hugged her and explained that he had needed to deal with an attack on the moon first.

Xuanye returned to Konoha with a Rinnegan and a Tenseigan, having grown stronger after turning the attack into an opportunity. As Tsunade and Uchiha Hikari argued over his teasing and intentions, Tsunade told him that Tobirama and Minato had brought back the Box of Ultimate Bliss and the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

• Xuanye reassured Tsunade and the others that he had suffered no losses and revealed his Rinnegan and Tenseigan.
• Uchiha Hikari mocked Xuanye's catlike appearance, and Xuanye teased her about nearly dying for love until she denied having feelings for him.
• Tsunade warned Xuanye to keep his hands off Hikari, but Xuanye pulled Hikari close and joked that rounding her age up made her twenty.
• Xuanye sensed Kabuto activate a Flying Thunder God Mark and received an interesting message, while Hikari escaped his grasp with Big Yellow.
• Tsunade told Xuanye that Tobirama and Minato had returned with the Box of Ultimate Bliss and the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, and that the Land of Fire's forces were advancing without resistance.

With Konoha’s expansion proceeding smoothly, Xuanye left Tsunade to manage affairs and went to watch Sarutobi Hiruzen suffer. In the Akatsuki Organization’s last stronghold, Hiruzen despaired after Uchiha Madara’s defeat, and Shimura Danzō finally condemned their teacher’s choice of Hokage.

• Tsunade managed the growing administrative workload as Konan took control of the Land of Rain and Miroku brought the Land of Demons into the Land of Fire.
• After reading Kabuto’s intelligence, Xuanye told Tsunade to handle matters as she saw fit, then used Flying Thunder God to leave and watch Sarutobi Hiruzen.
• Sarutobi Hiruzen learned that Uchiha Madara had been defeated and lamented that their forces had no hope of defeating Uchiha Genya.
• Shimura Danzō urged Hiruzen not to give up, but Hiruzen angrily blamed their failures on Genya and dismissed Danzō’s criticism.
• Danzō told Hiruzen he had long believed their teacher was blind to choose him as Hokage, then said he now understood just how blind the teacher had been.

Danzo tried to rouse Hiruzen from despair, but Kabuto warned them that Uchiha Genya was approaching. Genya arrived before they could escape, and Danzo and Hiruzen prepared to face him together.

• Danzo rebuked Hiruzen for giving up, but Hiruzen admitted he believed he had failed and that Danzo should have become Hokage.
• Kabuto reported that Uchiha Genya had returned and could be targeting the Akatsuki remnants, prompting Hiruzen and Danzo to prepare to flee.
• Xuanye appeared in the cave and demanded that Hiruzen and Danzo surrender, then taunted Hiruzen with a message from the Second Hokage.
• Danzo offered to hold Xuanye off so Kabuto could get Hiruzen away, revealing his immortal body, Sharingan, and Reverse Four-Seal Technique.
• Hiruzen refused to abandon Danzo, said he owed him his life, and pushed Danzo behind him.

Uchiha Genya watched as Kabuto used his control over Shimura Danzō to make him stab Sarutobi Hiruzen. Gravely wounded and unable to use chakra, Sarutobi Hiruzen realized Kabuto had betrayed him before and accused him of causing Konoha’s past failures.

• Sarutobi Hiruzen prepared to use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal against Uchiha Genya while Danzō urged him to fight on.
• Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could finish his hand seals, Shimura Danzō stabbed him with a poisoned kunai under Kabuto’s control.
• Kabuto admitted he had betrayed Sarutobi Hiruzen again, taking revenge for Danzo’s role in the orphanage tragedy and Hiruzen’s complicity.
• Shimura Danzō withdrew and blocked Sarutobi Hiruzen’s escape, while Kabuto’s chakra-targeting poison left Hiruzen unable to resist.
• Sarutobi Hiruzen recognized Kabuto as the spy behind the failed Akatsuki invasion and the One-Tail Jinchuriki’s capture, then blamed him for both.

Kabuto revealed that he had betrayed Nagato and mocked Sarutobi Hiruzen as the Third Hokage realized the Akatsuki Organization had been manipulated. After Danzo crippled Hiruzen, Xuanye stopped Kabuto from taking him to Konoha and ordered him to summon Uchiha Madara for questioning.

• Kabuto admitted to betraying Nagato and taunted Sarutobi Hiruzen, who demanded to know when the betrayal began.
• Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed at the Akatsuki Organization’s failures and blamed Obito and Uchiha Madara for being outmaneuvered.
• Kabuto controlled Danzo to cripple Sarutobi Hiruzen, while Xuanye watched and praised Kabuto for observing proper credit and deference.
• Kabuto treated Hiruzen’s bleeding and prepared to take him back to Konoha, but Xuanye stopped him.
• Xuanye ordered Kabuto to use Impure World Reincarnation on Uchiha Madara, and Kabuto began the summoning using a White Zetsu body.

Xuanye learned that his attempt to reincarnate White Zetsu had failed, suggesting Uchiha Madara had already been resurrected, and sent Kabuto undercover again to gather intelligence on Obito and Madara. Before Kabuto left with Mu, Xuanye asked him to test Dust Release on him so he could study it.

• Kabuto's Impure World Reincarnation failed to summon White Zetsu, and Xuanye suspected Uchiha Madara had already been resurrected with Hagoromo's help.
• Xuanye ordered Kabuto to return undercover to Obito's side and record intelligence, using Mu's reanimated body to meet with Obito and Madara.
• Xuanye suggested Kabuto could divert suspicion by claiming Obito was secretly working for the Uchiha, and promised he could teleport in to rescue Kabuto if needed.
• Kabuto handed control of Shimura Danzō's reanimated body to Xuanye and prepared to leave with Mu for the mission.
• Xuanye asked Kabuto to make Mu use Dust Release on him so he could study the technique, saying his Rinnegan could absorb its chakra.

Xuanye learned Dust Release from Mu and returned to Konoha with Hiruzen and Danzō, while Tobirama fumed over his former disciples and Xuanye’s plans. Tobirama recognized that Xuanye was manipulating him, but he could only endure it to protect Konoha and the Land of Fire.

• Xuanye decided Dust Release was the best way to complete his remaining chakra nature transformations and had Kabuto make Mu demonstrate it.
• Xuanye used his Rinnegan to absorb Mu’s Dust Release technique and memorized its hand seals.
• Kabuto left with Mu, while Xuanye used Flying Thunder God to bring Hiruzen and Danzō to Konoha’s hidden Research Department base.
• Xuanye found Tobirama, Minato, and Fū there, with the Box of Ultimate Bliss and Fū having been brought back from their mission.
• Tobirama angrily questioned why Xuanye had brought Hiruzen and Danzō back, but Xuanye insisted Hiruzen still had uses.
• Tobirama concluded that ordinary Uchiha were not inherently evil, though he still considered Xuanye an exception, and Tsunade dismissed his complaints and told him to return to work.

Xuanye abducted Fū and tried to reassure her by joking that she could become his concubine when she grew up, making her cry. Minato objected to the proposal, worried that helping Xuanye would ruin his reputation.

• Tobirama learned that Obito was Minato's former student and that Obito had released the Nine-Tails, killing Minato and Kushina.
• Tobirama saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen had gone insane and blamed him for enabling Danzo.
• Xuanye patted Fū's hair and cheek, then told her he would not hurt her because he planned to marry her as his little concubine when she grew up.
• Fū cried at the prospect of being forced into an arranged marriage with Xuanye.
• Minato urged Xuanye to remember that Fū was still young and worried that helping abduct her would damage his reputation.

Xuanye forced Minato to accept Fū’s abduction and negotiated Chomei’s submission, then welcomed Fū into Konoha. Fū offered to become Xuanye’s concubine if he would spare her family and friends, while Xuanye saw her concern as a weakness to exploit.

• Xuanye silenced Minato’s objections by invoking Kushina’s resurrection, and Minato gave up trying to protect Fū.
• Xuanye contacted Chomei through Fū, offered it freedom under terms like those granted to Shukaku, Matatabi, and Isobu, and secured its agreement.
• Chomei gave Xuanye part of its chakra, formed a summoning contract with him, and submitted to his authority.
• Xuanye declared Fū a member of Konoha and planned to send her to the Ninja Academy to meet the other jinchuriki.
• Fū offered to marry Xuanye as his concubine if he promised to spare her family and friends, hoping to protect Takigakure’s people.

Xuanye gave Orochimaru cells from an Otsutsuki descendant whose bloodline was nearly pure, explaining that they might help the Hyuga Clan complete its bloodline and potentially awaken the Tenseigan. Orochimaru accepted the rare material and began considering an experiment to create a "Perfect Hyuga."

• Xuanye told Fū to enroll in the Ninja Academy and threatened to spank her if her exam results were poor, before Minato took her away to arrange it.
• Xuanye gave Orochimaru a scroll containing cells from an Otsutsuki descendant he had encountered on the moon.
• Xuanye explained that the descendant's bloodline was closely connected to the Hyuga Clan and that combining them might reproduce the conditions behind his Tenseigan.
• Orochimaru proposed testing the cells on a talented Hyuga, and Xuanye warned that awakening the Tenseigan was extremely unlikely even if the experiment increased the subject's strength.
• Orochimaru treasured the scroll and considered using the results to develop more powerful Kage Level fighters.

Tobirama showed Xuanye the Box of Ultimate Bliss, and Xuanye cut it apart with Musō Isshin, releasing the monster Satori. As Satori confronted the group, Xuanye calmly assessed its ability to feed on negative emotions and retain its reason.

• Tobirama revealed that the Box of Ultimate Bliss was made with Yin-Yang Release and could not be broken by conventional force.
• Xuanye sliced the box into pieces with Musō Isshin, surprising Tobirama and Orochimaru with the sword’s power.
• Satori emerged from the box as a massive, winged monster and roared that it had escaped again.
• Satori spread fear and negative emotions among the people nearby, while Orochimaru and Tobirama trusted Xuanye to control it.
• Satori asked whether the humans had released it, and Xuanye remarked that it had absorbed resentment without losing its reason.

Xuanye defeated Satori and transformed him into a Preta Path Avatar, gaining a way to absorb malicious thoughts and handle Wish Power without its former side effects. Raiden Ei’s intervention helped suppress Satori, while Xuanye’s growing control over collective Wish Power left his next move open.

• Satori mistook Xuanye’s greed for fear, threatened him, and tried to escape after seeing Xuanye’s Rinnegan and Tenseigan.
• Xuanye used attraction and repulsion to trap Satori, then invoked the Preta Path to begin erasing his consciousness and turning him into an Avatar.
• Satori offered to surrender when he realized Xuanye could destroy him, but Xuanye said he wanted Satori’s ability to absorb malicious thoughts.
• Raiden Ei’s Plane of Euthymia descended and helped suppress Satori, making his transformation into the Preta Path irreversible.
• Before his consciousness vanished, Satori sent malicious thoughts into Xuanye, but the Wheel of a Hundred Eyes and Wishes absorbed them.
• Xuanye began converting Wish Power faster, with Satori’s ability preventing its side effects and the voices of others from overwhelming him.
