Chikage secured South Street for the Uchiha by invoking the Daimyo’s authority, exposing Danzo’s plots, and stripping Root of its assets. With Konoha’s finances collapsing and Danzo allied with Orochimaru and Obito, a new attack on South Street began during Chikage’s barbecue.

• Chikage returned to South Street with the Daimyo’s edict, established the Royal Trade Zone, and secured the Uchiha’s authority over its security while forcing Konoha to agree to compensation.
• Yashiro awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan and manifested Susanoo against Danzo, while Fugaku awakened Inabi and Tekka’s Mangekyo Sharingan through genjutsu.
• Chikage redirected Danzo’s hundred thousand Explosive Tags to Root’s base, then Yashiro, Inabi, and Tekka captured Danzo’s operatives during the Daimyo’s visit and exposed Root’s attempted assassination plot.
• Hiruzen dismissed Danzo and declared him an S-rank rogue ninja, while Chikage used the Daimyo’s authorization to confiscate Root’s assets and preserve evidence of its experiments.

• Danzo and Orochimaru planted Explosive Tags beneath the police office, then sent three reanimated ninja through the street toward Chikage’s barbecue gathering as Chikage taunted Danzo and the Uchiha prepared to fight.

Chikage defeated Orochimaru’s attack, imprisoned Danzo, and used the resulting debt and wartime supply crisis to take control of Konoha’s logistics. At the Land of Waves, he captured Yagura and faced Obito and the Six Paths of Pain while reinforcements approached and Hiruzen struggled to mobilize Konoha.
