Yang Hao helped Uchiha Obito awaken his Sharingan, then began teaching the students chakra shape transformation. Later, he discussed with Orochimaru whether powerful ocular abilities could stabilize Hashirama Cells, leaving Orochimaru to consider the idea.

• Yang Hao removed Uchiha Obito’s eyes to provoke his Sharingan awakening, then restored his sight and advised him on using the one-tomoe Sharingan.

• After Shizune reported the students’ progress, Yang Hao began teaching chakra shape transformation and explained how it could reduce the hand seals needed for ninjutsu.
• Yang Hao visited Orochimaru’s underground laboratory to research Hashirama Cells and proposed using Sharingan to balance their power and supply the eyes’ chakra demands.
• Orochimaru judged that the Byakugan and ordinary Sharingan were insufficient, while a Mangekyo Sharingan might match Wood Release.

• Orochimaru gave Yang Hao two scrolls containing Uchiha and Hyuga corpses and told him to keep an eye on Mitarashi Anko, whom he planned to take as a disciple.

After Mikoto Uchiha thanked him for helping Obito awaken his Sharingan, Yang Hao shared a theory about guiding Uchiha through the process and hinted at his ambition to become Hokage, leaving Mikoto and Fugaku considering him a future candidate.

• Yang Hao checked the eye he was cultivating inside his body, then went with Kakashi to Tsunade’s residence and found Jiraiya despondent over the success of Yang Hao’s White Ninja Chronicles.
• Yang Hao and the others went to the Ninja Academy, where Mikoto Uchiha gave Yang Hao one hundred high-grade explosive tags as thanks for helping Obito awaken his Sharingan.

• Yang Hao told Mikoto that he wanted to become Hokage and protect the village, prompting her to consider his potential as a candidate close to the Uchiha.
• Mikoto told Fugaku about Yang Hao, and they considered supporting him as a future Hokage, though they noted that his young age made Minato the more immediate prospect.

Mikoto Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha decided to back Namikaze Minato rather than young Yang Hao as their route to improving the Uchiha clan’s position. Meanwhile, Yang Hao sought Sarutobi Hiruzen’s help in addressing Sarutobi Asuma’s rebellion, learned Hiruzen’s staff techniques, and prepared to train Asuma.

• Mikoto Uchiha argued that Yang Hao was too young to help the Uchiha, and Fugaku Uchiha decided to focus on building ties with Namikaze Minato instead.

After discovering the pair had been killed by the Caged Bird Curse Mark, Yang Hao recovered their souls and began experimenting with Hyuga Xia’s body.

• Hyuga Xia and Hyuga Tie reported Yang Hao’s concerns to Hyuga Hiashi, who argued that the branch family needed new combat methods to strengthen the clan.

• Yang Hao inspected his golden Sharingan, hid it from view with chakra, and returned to Tsunade's wooden building.
