Ōtsutsuki Isshiki heard rumors of healing water at newly discovered desert ruins and recognized it as a precious Otsutsuki Clan medicine, so he rushed there to recover it. The ruins were a trap arranged by Kenichi Amamiya, where the Kage and Madara Uchiha waited for Isshiki to arrive after a planned explosion.

Kenichi Amamiya remained trapped in Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s genjutsu, where he experienced Jigen’s memories of hiding in the Land of Rain during the Second Great Ninja War.

• Kenichi realized that the genjutsu had placed him in Jigen’s memories and found himself unable to use Chakra or escape.

• Kenichi Amamiya considered making an electric light for their poorly ventilated cave but lacked the necessary materials.
• Kenichi Amamiya and Konan hid as two ninjas fought in the woods, then he wondered what had happened outside the genjutsu.

• Explosions and nearby quarry work alerted Kenichi Amamiya that their cave might collapse, while two shinobi discussed the growing war and Konoha’s arrival in the Land of Rain.
• Kenichi Amamiya considered killing the shinobi or moving, but recognized that war and forced labor would make either solution difficult.
• Kenichi Amamiya explored tunnel warfare and the possibility of organizing people harmed by the war, then realized that such a group would need powerful shinobi to gain influence.

Kenichi Amamiya observed a ninja supervising Nagato Town’s farmers and sought a way to obtain the man’s intact corpse to investigate Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s illusion.

During the battle, Kenichi Amamiya collided with the Plow and vanished, leaving the Sage of Six Paths and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to face each other.

• In the illusion, Kenichi Amamiya fed Konan egg porridge and plotted to secure food and a ninja corpse for his research.
