• Hiashi activated his Byakugan and realized the guards were elite Chunins and their leader, Tekka Uchiha, was an Elite Jonin; he and Hizashi were stunned by the unit’s strength.

He explained that the formation and Lightning Release: Ten Thousand Lightning gave the Uchiha a strategic weapon capable of razing Konoha, leaving its leaders terrified.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi identified the Temple Formation's weakness, arguing that its users were still Jonin and that disrupting their four-person formation would end the technique.

The chapter ended with Fugaku Uchiha and Uchiha Shisui awakening their Mangekyō Sharingan and manifesting Susanoo before Konoha’s leaders and clan heads.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi demanded that Ren place the Temple Formation under village control, but Ren awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan and overwhelmed the hall with Conqueror’s Haki.

• Fugaku Uchiha and Uchiha Shisui revealed their Mangekyō Sharingan and manifested their Susanoo, devastating the banquet hall floor and stunning the assembled leaders.

Ren revealed that the Uchiha and Senju descended from Indra and Asura, sons of the Sage of Six Paths, and used Fugaku and Shisui’s Susanoo to assert the Uchiha’s power. The Uchiha celebrated their heritage, while Hiruzen and his advisers worried Ren’s public announcement would attract the Shinobi World’s greed.

• Ren told the Uchiha leaders that the Naka Shrine tablet and old genealogies identified the Uchiha as descendants of Indra Ōtsutsuki and bearers of the Sage’s Yang Power.
• The first elder, Tekka, Nanami, and the other Uchiha leaders reacted with awe and celebrated the clan’s power as the Senju’s Yin lineage had faded.
• Fugaku warned Ren that publicly revealing the Uchiha’s Six Paths lineage could draw attacks from the four great villages and endanger the clan.

Ren upgraded the Uchiha Family to LV2 and gained a recipe for an elixir that could purify the clan’s bloodline and help Sharingan users evolve. In Kirigakure, Obito learned that Ren, Shisui, and Fugaku had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, but he dismissed Ren’s claim about the Uchiha and Senju descending from the Sage of Six Paths.

• Black Zetsu warned Obito that Ren’s claim about the Uchiha and the Rinnegan could endanger the Eye of the Moon Plan, so Obito ordered more surveillance and began plotting against the Uchiha.

• Nanami drank a vial and followed Ren’s instructions as the potion painfully purified her bloodline and drove her Chakra through its bottleneck.
• Nanami broke through from Elite Jonin to Kage Level and thanked Ren, pledging to face any danger for him.

Ren explained how the Bloodline Tempering Potion had raised Nanami to Kage Level and vowed to strengthen the Uchiha clan through upgraded potions. In Konoha, Sakura awakened a Three-Tomoe Sharingan while defending Sasuke from a Cloud Ninja, but she could not move fast enough to evade his lightning-charged attack.
