• The Senju mistook the Ino-Shika-Cho Clans' mission to drive them from the Land of Lightning for an alliance with the Uchiha.
• Indra sensed the approaching Senju and took Madara, Uchiha Naoto, Uchiha Xing, and Uchiha Yue to the Uchiha encampment, ordering the Uchiha to wipe them out.

• The fighting lasted a day; Indra rescued Madara and killed the remaining Senju, and the surviving Uchiha asked who he was after seeing him kill their clansmen.

Indra and Madara dealt with the aftermath of a battle, while Uchiha Naoto convinced unawakened Uchiha that they were impostors and took charge of the captured shinobi. Back at the Uchiha compound, Izuna tried to hide Madara’s letters from Uchiha Tajima, who confronted him.

• Madara went to the Naka River and met Hashirama Senju, whom he recognized as the Senju Indra had warned him about.

• Indra invited Madara to train with Izuna and Uchiha Chiri, but Madara refused and trained alone.
• Izuna showed Indra his puppy and asked whether it meant he could awaken his Sharingan; Indra promised to help when Izuna was strong enough.
• Indra explained that genjutsu did not require the Sharingan, and Izuna eagerly asked him to teach it.

• A Shadow Guard told Indra that several elders had requested his presence.

Indra went to the Uchiha Meeting Hall with Izuna to face the clan elders, who challenged his loyalty and tried to block his departure. He unleashed a powerful lightning attack that destroyed the hall, and a figure emerged from the clearing smoke.
