After the Chunin Ninja Exams ended, Uchiha Mu upgraded his system, gained the ability to fuse chakra, and began planning to control the great nations’ daimyo while undermining Iwagakure’s leaders.

Iwagakure’s plan to use the Four-Tails to reduce its population collapsed when White Zetsu’s photographs exposed Ōnoki’s role. Mū placated the outraged villagers by admitting the scheme and directing blame at Ōnoki, who left the village as a Missing-nin; Mū then recognized that Uchiha Mu had engineered the exposure.

• The Four-Tails learned that Iwagakure had been sending Shinobi to die and turned away, but Ōnoki attacked it and triggered a deadly rampage.

• Mū took responsibility for the village’s stability while Ōnoki accepted exile and declared that he would become a Missing-nin.
• Mū examined the photographs and realized that Uchiha Mu had arranged their exposure, then warned Iwagakure’s senior officials that they could lose everything if the village fell.

Uchiha Mu killed Ōnoki, then stopped Mū from massacring nearly two thousand Iwagakure shinobi who were leaving the village. After Uchiha Mu defeated Mū and exposed his actions, the survivors chose to go to the Hundred-Clan Shinobi Nation, while more villagers arrived to learn what had happened.

Reports of Iwagakure’s takeover reached other villages, where Third Raikage A chose to step down and Mizukage Mustache confronted the weakening of Kirigakure.

• Uchiha Mu showed Iwagakure’s officials photographs of Dust Release attacks, then brought them to the village without notifying Konoha.
• White Zetsu gave Uchiha Mu intelligence on Iwagakure and revealed that the officials had killed the village’s loyalists, so Uchiha Mu ordered him to kill the officials later.

Concerned that the conquest would provoke the Daimyo and strengthen Konoha, Zhengyi and Hanzō planned to prepare, while Naoki secured funding from his mother.

• Uchiha Naoki woke to find Miyan holding his hand, and Uchiha Kyu teased him about her before Miyan left to make breakfast.
