• A Fei warned Ye that eight Iwagakure ninja were hiding ahead, and Ye led the group toward their ambush so Obito could test his Mangekyo.

• Ye planted explosive tags and destroyed Kannabi Bridge, completing the mission as Obito, Kakashi, and Rin started back toward Konoha.

• Danzo learned that Ye had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and reacted with shock.

Danzo learned that Uchiha Ye had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and arranged an ambush to seize his eyes. He left Root with orders to divert Minato and send Uchiha Ye’s injured team on a dangerous supply mission, while his own Hashirama Cells continued to erode his arm.

• Danzo examined his Sharingan-implanted arm and admitted that Orochimaru’s Hashirama Cell experiment remained unstable.

• Minato brought Ye, Obito, Kakashi, and Rin back to Konoha, where the Medical Corps rushed them to the hospital; Kakashi refused treatment for his right arm, and Root agents watched Ye.

• Ye used Flying Thunder God to take Obito, Kakashi, and Rin from the Seventh Supply Station to the Uchiha compound, shocking them with the technique.
• Ye sent a hawk to invite Sakumo Hatake and Rin’s parents to the compound for protection.

• Ye suggested holding a rebellion mobilization meeting the next day, provoking the entire clan and leaving Obito bewildered about Ye’s loyalties.

• Uchiha Scarface and other Hawk faction members insulted Ye for boasting about his battlefield record.
• Ye mocked the clansmen for avoiding the front lines, angering both the Hawk and Dove factions.

• Fugaku and the factions stared in shock and fear while Obito’s legs trembled beneath the power of his eyes.

Obito’s Mangekyo awakening sent the Uchiha clan into a frenzy, and Ye stunned them by revealing his own Mangekyo, more powerful than Obito’s. As the Hawk faction began talking about attacking Konoha, Tobi warned Ye that ANBU were approaching the village entrance.

• The Uchiha clansmen crowded around Obito, competing to recruit him after his Mangekyo awakened, while the Elder and Second Elder brawled over who would train him.
• Ye mocked the clan’s reaction to Obito’s Mangekyo, then revealed his own Mangekyo and overwhelmed everyone with its pressure.
• The Elder and much of the clan fell to their knees before Ye, while the Hawk faction grew excited and called for an assault on the Hokage Building.

• Tobi warned Ye that ANBU were sneaking toward the village entrance, and Ye’s expression darkened.

Ye stopped the Uchiha Hawk faction from attacking the Hokage Building and accepted a summons to a joint hearing. The hearing stemmed from Danzo's accusations against Ye, Obito Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, and Rin Nohara, and Fugaku feared it was a political purge.

• Ye silenced the Hawk faction and argued that rebelling while the Third Shinobi World War was still underway would get them killed.
• An ANBU team delivered the Hokage's order for Ye, Obito Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, and Rin Nohara to attend a joint hearing at dawn.
• Ye stopped Uchiha Scarface from attacking the ANBU and agreed that the four would attend.
• Danzo presented Hiruzen Sarutobi with a recording scroll and accused the four shinobi of ambushing twenty-three Konoha elites and committing other dangerous acts.
• After arguing for nearly two hours, Hiruzen refused to hand the four over to Root and arranged a public hearing with senior officials for the next morning.
• Danzo left pleased with the planned hearing, confident that allies among the elders and the Interrogation Department would help condemn the four.

Ye told Fugaku that Danzo had ambushed his team with Root Jonin and planned to use the deaths and Rin’s transformation into the One-Tail against them at the hearing. Fugaku prepared to take the Uchiha to war if the hearing threatened Ye, while Madara learned Konoha planned to kill his grandson and raced toward the village.

• Ye told Fugaku that Danzo had sent twenty-four Root Jonin to ambush his team for his Mangekyo, and that Rin had transformed into the One-Tail during the fight.

• White Zetsu told Madara that Konoha planned to kill Ye, and Madara rushed toward the village in a fury.

Ye and the others were escorted from the Uchiha compound to a Council Chamber hearing, where Danzo publicly accused them of killing comrades and destroying evidence. Ye rejected the accusation and demanded that Danzo play his recording.

• A fox-masked ANBU tried to restrain Ye with sealing cuffs, but Ye struck him and exposed his attempt to act on Danzo’s behalf; the cat-masked captain ordered the escort to continue without cuffs.
• As villagers repeated rumors accusing the four youths, Ye challenged their judgment and helped Obito regain his composure.
• At the Council Chamber, Danzo accused Ye, Obito, Kakashi, and Rin of slaughtering comrades and destroying evidence.
• Ye sat in the center of the chamber, challenged Danzo’s authority to lead the hearing, and demanded that he play his recording.

Uchiha Ye challenged Danzo’s edited evidence and pressed Hiruzen to account for Root’s ambush, but Hiruzen avoided answering and Danzo demanded that the team be sent to the Interrogation Department. Ye remained calm as Kakashi, Rin, and Obito braced for the confrontation.

• Danzo ordered ANBU to arrest Ye and execute the team, but Hiruzen stopped them and insisted the joint hearing continue.
• Ye cited the team’s battlefield accomplishments and demanded that Danzo show the complete recording of the incident.
• Danzo played footage showing the team killing Root shinobi, while Obito protested that it omitted Root’s ambush and attack.
• Ye asked whether Hiruzen had approved Root’s operation, but Hiruzen deflected the question and said the matter could be investigated later.
• Danzo demanded that the team be sent to the Interrogation Department for memory examinations, prompting Kakashi and Obito to ready themselves while Ye stayed composed.

Ye and the others faced detention after Danzo and the elders accused them of causing a massacre, but Fugaku arrived with armed Uchiha clan members to defend them. As the Council Chamber teetered on the edge of violence, Madara burst through its western wall and challenged the Uchiha's hesitation.

• Danzo argued that the recording justified restraining Ye, Obito, and the others, while Hiruzen barred memory inspections and Root custody during their questioning.
• An ANBU reported Fugaku's arrival, but Fugaku entered the chamber with Nohibi and five armed clansmen despite being told to wait.
• Fugaku confronted Danzo over Root's ambush and defended the Uchiha's right to speak for their clansmen.
• ANBU and Uchiha ninja drew their weapons, and Hiruzen's demand that they stand down failed to ease the standoff.
• Madara smashed through the western wall, surveyed Ye and the others, and rebuked Fugaku for wasting time talking instead of fighting.
