• Madara questioned how Ren had awakened the Rinnegan in only ten days, and Black Zetsu concluded that the eyes were not Nagato’s original Rinnegan.

• Madara regenerated from the rubble, rejected Black Zetsu's warning, and began forming Hand Seals to attack again.
• Ren appeared in front of Madara, stopped without attacking, and asked whether Madara would admit defeat.

Madara and Black Zetsu realized Ren had awakened his Rinnegan himself in just over ten days, possibly after a secret technique stirred dormant Sage of Six Paths bloodline power. Black Zetsu urged Madara to withdraw until he recovered, while Madara questioned whether both of Ren’s pairs of eyes were truly his own.

• Ren showed Jian Zhen and Itachi the Rinnegan and said he wanted to use Madara to draw out the real enemy.
• Ren explained that an unidentified figure who had lived for a thousand years had manipulated Madara, Obito, and others to prolong hatred and pursue a hidden goal.
• Ren said he had deliberately let Madara escape so Black Zetsu would reveal himself, and vowed to subdue Madara, hunt down Black Zetsu, and destroy him.

• Jian Zhen warned Ren that failure could unleash Madara, Black Zetsu, and Obito and bring widespread war and civilian casualties.

Ren revealed that he had been drawing out Black Zetsu, the force behind Madara’s schemes, while his Yin–Yang Release Shadow Clone fought Madara in the Uchiha District. Madara and Black Zetsu escaped, and Ren’s clone stopped Nanami and the Temple captains from pursuing them.

• Ren explained that he intended to seize Black Zetsu when it revealed itself, and Nagato and Itachi realized that Ren had used the Akatsuki and Madara to expose it.

• Nanami and the Temple captains wanted to pursue Madara, but Ren’s clone raised a hand to stop them.

After Madara escaped, Ren urged the Uchiha to grow strong enough to face him without relying on their clan leader. Ren then proposed using Nagato’s unusual body to cultivate the Mangekyō Sharingan and offered him a choice between cooperating and being used after death.

• Ren explained that Madara’s weakened reincarnated body would not last long, but said his escape should spur the Uchiha to become stronger.
• Nanami and the Temple members accepted Ren’s warning and resolved to prepare for Madara’s return.

After Uchiha Ren defeated Nagato in the Land of Rain, Darui reported to the Raikage that Ren had taken Nagato’s Rinnegan and awakened twelve of his own. The Raikage and his officers struggled to explain Ren’s unprecedented power, leaving them to regard him as a shinobi beyond ordinary understanding.

• Darui delivered a report to the Raikage stating that Ren had defeated Nagato and taken both of his Rinnegan.
• Darui revealed that Ren had awakened his own Rinnegan from his Mangekyō Sharingan and manifested twelve Rinnegan around his body.

• Darui explained that Nagato had controlled six modified corpses through black rods, while Ren wielded the Rinnegan’s abilities himself.
• The Raikage rejected the theory that the Uchiha had a Rinnegan bloodline, and Darui argued that Ren’s growth made him an exception beyond the Uchiha of the past.

Reports that Ren awakened twelve Rinnegan and defeated Nagato’s Six Paths of Pain alarmed the major ninja villages, which began preparing for the threat he posed. At Madara’s secret base, Madara concluded Ren’s eyes came from an ancestral Uchiha bloodline, while Black Zetsu feared the Sage of Six Paths had empowered Ren to stop Kaguya’s resurrection.

• Reports said Ren had awakened twelve Rinnegan, taken Nagato’s eyes, destroyed the Six Paths of Pain, and dismantled the Akatsuki Organization.
• The Tsuchikage, Kazekage, Mizukage, and Hokage assessed Ren’s power, while the villages restricted intelligence, recalled elite ninja, and strengthened their defenses.
• Black Zetsu and White Zetsu returned to their secret base with Madara and confirmed that Ren had seized Nagato’s Rinnegan, though Nagato was still alive.
• Madara concluded Ren’s Mangekyō Sharingan had evolved through an ancestral reversion of the Uchiha bloodline.
• Black Zetsu considered whether the Sage of Six Paths had deliberately granted Ren power to prevent Kaguya’s resurrection, and feared Ren’s possession of Nagato’s eyes would derail the plan.

Madara learned that Uchiha Ren had defeated Nagato, taken both Rinnegan, and absorbed the Akatsuki Organization into the Uchiha Family. As his Impure World Reincarnation body deteriorated, Madara released it and returned to the Pure Land, while Black Zetsu revealed that Madara himself had only ever been his pawn.

• Black Zetsu reported that Ren had defeated Nagato, taken both Rinnegan, and forced Obito to retreat into the Kamui Dimension.

Black Zetsu decided to keep Madara Uchiha alive as a necessary part of the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, while the Shinobi World reacted to Uchiha Ren awakening his own Rinnegan. Seireitei invited the major powers to a conference, leaving the Raikage wondering whether Ren intended to make the nations submit.

• Black Zetsu judged that forcing Ren to surrender the Rinnegan was nearly impossible and planned to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to capture him instead.
• Black Zetsu said Madara Uchiha was still useful and could not disappear before the Infinite Tsukuyomi was complete.
• News spread that Ren had taken Nagato's Rinnegan and awakened a Rinnegan of his own, prompting the major villages to strengthen security and track the Uchiha Family.
• Seireitei invited the Five Great Shinobi Villages, other villages, national Daimyo, and prominent figures to a conference in the Land of Fire, warning that unexplained absences would be treated as hostility.
• The Raikage and Darui discussed the invitation, and the Raikage questioned whether Ren planned to display his strength or force every nation to submit.
