• Ying Yue found that Black Zetsu and White Zetsu were too difficult to track and rejected cremating the remains of powerful figures as too risky.

Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru began working together to improve the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, exploring how Yin-Yang Release might let Reanimated Bodies retain more strength and escape control. Meanwhile, Uchiha Ying Yue traveled beyond the Five Great Nations and discovered that the God Tree had drained much of the planet’s natural energy, leaving vast regions desolate.

• Ying Yue concluded that Kaguya Otsutsuki’s God Tree had consumed the planet’s life force and prevented natural energy from recovering across much of the Ninja World.

Ying Yue explored the Ninja World’s sacred lands as part of his plan to restore its natural energy, then used his space-time powers to travel to the moon and investigate Hamura’s descendants.

• Ying Yue and Yuhui agreed to work together to stop the branch house while keeping the lunar seal safe.

He promised Yuhui Otsutsuki he would help end the turmoil, but the branch family and Tenseigan threat remained unresolved.

• Uchiha Ying Yue and Yuhui Otsutsuki entered the Moon's underground city, where Yuhui explained how scarcity made life difficult for his people.
• Yuhui revealed that the branch family's rebellion arose from the main family's control of most resources and the branch family's unequal treatment.

• Ying Yue ordered the United Government to deliver aid, and the Otsutsuki leaders agreed to cooperate with him in protecting the Ninja World and the seal.

Yuhui Otsutsuki reunited the moon’s Otsutsuki Clan with the Hyuga Clan, restoring their ties and sharing Byakugan techniques. Ying Yue later studied the moon clan’s records and uncovered the history of Kaguya’s sealing, ending with Hagoromo’s doubts about Indra as his successor.

• After Yuhui returned to the moon, Ying Yue arranged yearly Hyuga visits and continued supplying the Otsutsuki Clan with resources.
• Ying Yue studied the moon clan’s records and learned that Kaguya had turned humans into White Zetsu to prepare for an Otsutsuki pursuit, leading Hagoromo and Hamura to join the Ninja World’s resistance and seal her.
• Hagoromo became the Sage of Six Paths and founded Ninshu, but later feared that Indra’s cold, domineering ideals would lead it astray.

Ying Yue studied how the Sage of Six Paths’ choices—the succession of Asura and the division of the Ten-Tails—contributed to Ninshu’s collapse and centuries of conflict. Convinced that lasting peace depended on ordinary people rather than a powerful ruler, he continued reforms to expand democratic participation and self-governance.

• Ying Yue learned from the historical records that Indra and Asura’s succession dispute split Ninshu and that their descendants formed the Uchiha, Senju, and Uzumaki clans.
• Ying Yue learned that the Sage of Six Paths divided the Ten-Tails into nine tailed beasts and sealed its shell on the moon, but later generations fought over the beasts as weapons.

Under Ying Yue’s peaceful governance, Naruto, Sasuke, and the next generation of ninja grew up with support and guidance, while Ying Yue built a stable United Government staffed by experienced shinobi.
