Sasuke found himself in ancient Rōran during the Warring States Period, where the Senju and Uchiha were fighting over the Dragon Vein. After his Sharingan power transformed and let him become undetectable, he watched the battle and began to suspect there was more behind the Uchiha’s campaign.

• Sasuke overheard Mu Xin Senju and Qiluo Lan discussing the Uchiha’s attempt to seize the Dragon Vein and realized Rōran’s royal lineage had ancient ties to the Uzumaki.

Sasuke watched a Warring States battle and discovered that the Uchiha were abusing Izanagi, sacrificing their eyes to fight without fear of death. The battle strengthened his suspicion that this era’s Uchiha disaster involved a mysterious weapon, and he wondered whether his own actions had changed history.

• Sasuke followed the Uchiha clan members to a compound, where they discussed a dead Uchiha whose Sharingan had been stolen and their hatred of the Izanagi faction.
• Uchiha Tuan explained that his faction planned to create a weapon powered by chakra and inscribed with dojutsu, while the Izanagi faction sought to create a Giant Sharingan and the fence-sitters gathered materials for both.
• Sasuke considered whether the planned Giant Sharingan might resemble the Giant Tenseigan and wondered whether the weapon faction had developed a way to permanently inscribe Mangekyo dojutsu.
• The Uchiha decided to activate Nameless the next day and revealed that they had taken an orphan who awakened Mangekyo for biological modification.
• Sasuke dropped his concealment, poured liquor on the ground in remembrance of the dead, and faced Uchiha Fenghuo, who put a blade to his neck.
• Sasuke's body resisted the blade, then rose into the air as a purple giant over a hundred meters tall appeared.

• Sasuke used Indra's Arrow to destroy the weapons faction's Susanoo and revealed that Uchiha Fenghuo had escaped through Izanagi.

• Uchiha Chiri deduced Izanami and shared the technique with Sasuke, who learned that her name was Uchiha Chiri.

After Uchiha Hikari warned that Black Zetsu was moving again, Sasuke proposed taking the group to Amegakure to surprise Nagato.

• Obito brought the unconscious Roshi to Konan and Nagato, and they agreed to use former Jinchūriki chakra to supplement the tailed-beast extraction.
• Nagato began Phantom Dragon Nine Seals, and the group extracted chakra from former One-Tail and Two-Tails Jinchūriki before opening a coffin containing Rin Nohara.

As Naruto shared the Sage of Six Paths’ secret lessons with Sasuke, Sasuke realized Black Zetsu had escaped, leaving the group facing a new mystery about the Sage’s plans.
