• Tobirama Senju recognized that his One-Tail martial soul had granted him Magnet Release.

At his overseas base, Yang Hao fused Scorch Release with Gold Release but failed to combine them into a new bloodline power.

• Uchiha Obito told Black Zetsu that Nagato would endure for Yahiko’s sake and ordered him to watch Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha before departing with Kamui.
• Yang Hao’s six brides woke exhausted after the wedding night, and he explained that their chakra control had improved because he had refined their chakra through a dual cultivation method.
• All six women became pregnant in the second month after their marriage, so Tsunade sent Yang Hao away from the City of Heaven to train overseas and tend the life-origin chambers and children.

• The fusion failed and Yang Hao’s body melted, but he used Izanagi to return unharmed and concluded that the two bloodlines were too unequal to combine successfully.

• Yang Hao explained that the Rinnegan could not have been Nagato’s original eyes and must have been transplanted into him by someone else.

Yang Hao uncovered Uchiha Madara and Obito’s plan for Nagato’s Rinnegan, joined Akatsuki under a false identity, and learned the Uchiha tablet’s final message described a world-spanning genjutsu. He then awakened a Three Tomoe Rinne Sharingan while Black Zetsu watched, and listened as Uchiha clansmen voiced growing anger at Konoha.

• Yang Hao told Nagato that Obito was Madara’s successor and warned that Madara intended to use Nagato’s Rinnegan to regain youth or resurrect himself; Nagato agreed to cooperate with Yang Hao while keeping his own goals.
• Nagato invited Yang Hao to join Akatsuki, and Yang Hao accepted on the condition that he conceal his identity and use only Magnet Release; he then asked Deva Path to read the Uchiha stone tablet.
• Yang Hao took Deva Path to the shrine beneath the Uchiha clan grounds, where Deva Path used the Rinnegan to read the tablet’s final passage about a genjutsu that could draw the world’s consciousness into an ideal illusion.
• Yang Hao hid beneath the shrine and fused the Rinnegan’s ocular power with the chakra of Indra and Ashura, awakening a Three Tomoe Rinne Sharingan as Black Zetsu observed.
• Yang Hao sensed Fugaku Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, and other clan members meeting above him as the Uchiha complained about missing members, interference from Konoha civilians, and reduced police funding.

After learning that Fugaku had awakened the Mangekyo and transplanted Hashirama Cells, Shisui went to warn Sarutobi Hiruzen and the elders, leaving them to consider how to handle the Uchiha.

• Fugaku Uchiha told the frustrated Uchiha clansmen to endure the Hokage faction's suppression, while Shisui Uchiha worried that Fugaku was planning a coup.
• Fugaku gave Shisui a vial of Hashirama Cells and praised him for keeping his Mangekyo awakening secret, deepening Shisui's suspicion that Fugaku intended to rebel.
• Yang Hao read the stone tablet's secret techniques, suspected Black Zetsu was steering him toward an Infinite Kotoamatsukami plan, and left after hinting that he would compete to become the Ten-Tails' jinchuriki.
• Shisui transplanted the Hashirama Cells, endured their corrosive effects overnight, and found that they strengthened his eyes and more than doubled his chakra.
• Believing the Uchiha rebellion would destroy the clan and village, Shisui went to the Hokage Building to report Fugaku's preparations and power to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
• Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Shisui what he intended to do, while Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura reacted gravely to the threat of Fugaku's Mangekyo and Hashirama Cells.

Shisui Uchiha offered to use Kotoamatsukami to change Fugaku Uchiha's will and ease tensions between the Uchiha and Konoha, and Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed to cooperate. When Danzo Shimura took charge of the preparations, he attacked Shisui and stole both his eyes, leaving Shisui to flee amid a swarm of shadow clones and explosive tags.

• Shisui Uchiha revealed that his Mangekyo Sharingan's Kotoamatsukami could alter another person's will and proposed using it on Fugaku Uchiha while Konoha changed its treatment of the Uchiha.
• Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed to trust the Uchiha if Shisui succeeded, while Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura urged caution and arranged for Danzo Shimura to prepare defenses.
• Danzo Shimura learned about Shisui's ocular technique and waited outside the village, hoping to obtain his Sharingan and use it with the Hashirama Cells.
• When Shisui arrived, Danzo challenged his plan and lunged for his eyes, but Shisui used genjutsu to freeze him and walked away.
• Danzo recovered, attacked Shisui, and used the Hashirama Cells' chakra surge to overwhelm him before gouging out both his eyes.
• Shisui used the Multi Shadow Clone Technique to scatter more than a hundred clones and flung explosive tags in every direction.
