Arc 2Shinichi’s Rising Power
Shinichi rescued Tobirama and Tsunade’s team during the war, then rose to prominence in Konoha as he developed Ice Release, gained influence in the Uchiha Clan, and awakened a mutated Sharingan. The arc left him pursuing new techniques while Madara watched him and Kanon continued trying to surpass him.
- Shinichi defeated Tobirama in a spar, then rescued him from Kinkaku and Ginkaku’s forces and brought him back to Konoha alive.
- Shinichi rushed to the western front and used Ryujin Jakka to save Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya from Kitsuchi’s attack, collapsing afterward from exhaustion.
- After Tobirama became gravely ill and Hiruzen took office as Third Hokage, Shinichi became Tobirama’s sole ANBU member and was nominated as the Uchiha Clan’s young leader after his father won the clan election.
- Shinichi developed Ice Release with sealing jutsu and briefly restrained Hiruzen in a duel, drawing the attention of the shinobi villages and earning a Black Market bounty.
- The System awarded Shinichi an intermediate Sage Body and basic Six Eyes, after which he awakened a blue, one-tomoe Sharingan with enhanced vision and Gentle Fist capabilities.
- Shinichi began researching his own Lightning Release Chakra Mode while Orochimaru and Tsunade became Jonin and Jiraiya went to Mount Myōboku to train.
- Kanon challenged Shinichi, awakened her Three-Tomoe Sharingan during their fight, and was defeated and healed by him as Madara continued watching them.
