• Uchiha Obito watched the wedding broadcast and wished Nohara Rin happiness; when Black Zetsu asked about his future relationship with Yang Hao, Obito said he wanted to challenge him at least once.

Uchiha Obito left after discussing Nagato and the Uchiha clan with Black Zetsu, while Yang Hao’s wedding night with his six brides led to pregnancy and his exile from the City of Heaven. 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.
• Yang Hao spent half a year fusing Scorch Release with Gold Release, then attempted to incorporate the combination into his body.
• 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 threatened to give Yashamaru especially brutal combat training after Karura expressed disappointment that he had survived, then returned to pondering how to fuse a four-element bloodline.

• Nagato Uzumaki discovered Yang Hao, and the Six Paths of Pain surrounded him.

Yang Hao fought Nagato Uzumaki and the Six Paths of Pain to obtain the Rinnegan’s ocular power, then revealed his identity and knowledge of Nagato’s transplanted eyes. He left the conversation poised to negotiate with Nagato as an equal rather than join Akatsuki as a subordinate.

• Yang Hao destroyed five Paths of Pain and restrained the Deva Path with his Vajra Rings, but Nagato Uzumaki emerged with Hashirama Cells and drove him outside.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

Yang Hao secretly stole Shisui Uchiha’s body, soul, and eyes, then forged a powerful Kotoamatsukami eye Soul Bone and fused it into his Heavenly Eye. As the Uchiha clan moved toward rebellion and Itachi Uchiha chose to approach the Hokage, Yang Hao kept watch, intent on seizing the clan’s fortune.
