The Five Great Shinobi Villages formed an alliance, but their forces were overwhelmed by White Zetsu and reincarnated shinobi, including Madara and Hashirama.

• Madara returned to life, received his Rinnegan from White Zetsu, and revealed power greater than he had wielded as an Impure World Reincarnation.

• Ren transformed the Taiji Diagram into a Royal Domain that suppressed Kaguya, Madara Uchiha, and the battlefield, while Obito’s Kamui still failed to open a passage.

Ren confronted Kaguya, Obito, and Madara about their motives and offered each a path beyond their current plans: safety and strength through joining the Uchiha, Rin’s real resurrection, and peace backed by Uchiha power. The chapter ended with Madara considering Ren’s promise of a wider world.

• Ren explained that Kaguya had eaten the God Tree Fruit and gathered chakra because she feared the Ōtsutsuki Clan, then offered her protection if she joined the Uchiha Family.

• Ren ended Infinite Tsukuyomi, freeing its victims and establishing Uchiha rule over the Shinobi World, while Shisui took charge of its ordinary affairs.
• Ren and the Uchiha elites charged the Dimension Altar for several months before it transported them to a valley in the Profound Desolate World.
• Fugaku deployed Temple members to secure the valley as Ren warned the group to conceal their origins and learn the local cultivation systems, factions, currency, language, and terrain.
• Obito tested Kamui and found that the world's stronger spatial barriers had compressed its range, so Ren told him to conserve his chakra.

Ren and the Uchiha entered the Profound Desolate World, discovered that the Exchange Tower's network still held a faint signal, and began investigating the realm and its powers. After the signal pointed toward Chaotic Star City, they set out to help a merchant caravan attacked by Desolate Beasts.

• Ren used the Void Link Ring to detect remnants of the Exchange Tower's network, including a fragmented message and signs that someone still watched the old network.
• A hunter and his son spotted the group and fled, while Ren ordered the Temple members to keep a low profile and scout the valley.
• Shisui reported a nearby trade road and powerful Desolate Beast tracks, so Ren divided the Temple members between guarding the altar, watching the valley, and accompanying him to contact locals.
• Sasuke struggled to use Water Walking under the Profound Desolate World's laws, and Kaguya uncovered a giant lizard's remains as Ren ordered Itachi to record its soul power.
• The Void Link Ring sent a broken message pointing southwest toward Chaotic Star City and an old warehouse, which Ren identified as a likely Exchange Tower outpost.
• Shisui reported that Desolate Beasts were attacking a merchant caravan, and Ren led Sasuke, Itachi, and Shisui toward the battle.

• Ren told Fugaku to save the caravan without revealing all their abilities, so they could learn about the Profound Wilderness from the survivors.

• Han Zhong explained that the Exchange Tower had been carved up by merchant guilds after its young tower master disappeared, and Ren accepted Han Zhong’s route tablet and agreed to travel with the caravan.

Ren’s group protected Han Zhong’s caravan and learned that Chaotic Star City’s black market was searching for an ancient black-and-white ring linked to the Exchange Tower. After capturing three watchers, Ren obtained a black market entry talisman for a transaction in three days and discovered it carried a hidden tracking mark.

• Fugaku identified ambush risks along the mountain road, earning the caravan guards’ respect as Han Zhong described Chaotic Star City’s volatile factions and powerful City Lord.
• At a waystation, Sasuke stopped himself from intervening when a stronger youth stole a soul crystal from a scrawny boy, taking Ren’s advice to rely on his own strength.
• Kaguya spotted three Soul Masters watching the caravan, and Ren told Shisui to wait and see what they would do.
• Shisui and Itachi captured the three followers as they approached Han Zhong’s wagons during the night.
• The captives admitted they were black market scouts seeking an ancient black-and-white ring and revealed that a transaction in three days would offer a storage ring with matching patterns.
• Ren took the black market entry talisman and detected a faint tracking mark hidden within it.

• Ren warned Sasuke and the others to conceal their identities as Han Zhong’s caravan passed through Chaotic Star City’s gates.
• Ren visited the burned Exchange Tower site, where Shisui found recent tracks and Itachi recovered a broken ring linked to the Void Link Ring.

• Ren decided to investigate the black market despite Han Zhong’s warning about Crimson Fiend Hall and its leader, Li Kui.
• Itachi paid the gatekeeper with a soul crystal, allowing Ren, Itachi, and Shisui to enter the black market.

Ren won the Void Link Ring at a black market auction, then defeated Li Kui and his men when they ambushed him and his companions. After Ren linked the ring to the Exchange Tower’s missing belongings, Li Kui denied knowing anything about the group’s pursuit of its former members.

• Ren recognized the Void Link Ring and a charred ledger fragment marked “Exchange Tower” at the black market auction.
• Ren outbid Li Kui for the ring by offering a pristine high-grade Soul Artifact, and Shisui sensed that Li Kui’s men were following them.
• Li Kui and dozens of Soul Masters blocked the alley and demanded the ring and Soul Artifact, but Shisui broke Li Kui’s axe, Itachi’s genjutsu threw the attackers into chaos, and Ren suppressed their Soul Power.
• Ren showed Li Kui the ring and asked who was hunting the Exchange Tower’s old belongings and interrogating its remaining members.
• Li Kui recognized the ring but denied knowing about the Exchange Tower.

Ren used his Yin-Yang Double Pupils to uncover Li Kui’s secrets about the Azure Luo Merchant Guilds and the Exchange Tower, then found a map to an underground warehouse where captives might be held. He sent Shisui and Itachi to scout while using Li Kui to lure the guilds into revealing themselves.

• Ren exposed Li Kui’s memories and learned that the Azure Luo Merchant Guilds had stolen Exchange Tower records and were searching for its Void Network.
• Kaguya spotted a Divine Soul restriction on Li Kui, and Fugaku sealed Li Kui’s Soul Power on Ren’s orders.
• A remnant message in the Black-and-White Ring revealed an incomplete map marking an underground warehouse in the western district of Chaotic Star City.
• Ren warned that captives might be inside the warehouse and ordered Shisui and Itachi to investigate without engaging anyone.
• Ren released Li Kui and told him to inform the Azure Luo Merchant Guilds that the Black-and-White Ring had been found, while Shisui secretly marked Li Kui’s clothes.

Shisui and Itachi found Lu Ping and other former Exchange Tower members imprisoned beneath an abandoned warehouse, where Explosive Soul Crystals threatened to kill them if anyone attacked. Ren devised a plan to infiltrate the Azure Luo Merchant Guilds, and Shisui secretly weakened the warehouse’s explosive formation as the plan began.

• Shisui and Itachi infiltrated the underground warehouse and found Lu Ping, a former Exchange Tower leader, imprisoned alongside other survivors.
• Lu Ping warned Shisui that Explosive Soul Crystals were connected to the warehouse’s formation and could bury the prisoners if the guards noticed an intrusion.
• Ren learned about Lu Ping’s warning and planned to lure the Azure Luo Merchant Guilds into moving the prisoners by pretending to offer them rare spiritual materials.
• Han Zhong brought a caravan to the Azure Luo Merchant Guilds, and a blue-robed steward agreed to take the cargo to the underground storeroom for authentication.
• Shisui slipped into the shadows near the formation gate and secretly swapped a soul crystal, leaving a small gap in the explosive formation.

Ren and Itachi exposed the Azure Luo Merchant Guilds steward’s corruption while he tried to seize the Han Family’s Spiritual Materials. The steward realized Ren was responsible and demanded to know what he had done.

• Ren led Han Zhong and the others into the underground warehouse while Shisui’s formation gap let them enter.
• The steward in green recognized the Spiritual Materials but declared them goods of unknown origin and ordered the group seized.
• As the guards moved to search them, Itachi gave one guard a storage ring that trapped him in a Genjutsu revealing the steward’s crimes.
• The guard accused the steward of murder and embezzling three hundred and seventy thousand soul coins, shocking the warehouse workers.
• The steward confronted Ren and demanded to know what he had done to the guard.
