Madara pressed Gamamaru to reveal the future, and the Great Toad Sage showed the grim timeline that would have followed without Shingetsu. After Shingetsu reassured everyone, Gamamaru asked her to train in senjutsu at Mount Myōboku, but she wanted to leave when she saw Shima’s insect feast.

• Madara demanded that Gamamaru explain what he knew about the future, and Izuna deduced that the toad’s foresight had stopped working fourteen years earlier because of Shingetsu.

• At night, Shingetsu opened her eyes as the God Tree’s buds bloomed, and Madara wondered whether she had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Shingetsu awakened her Mangekyō Sharingan and discovered eye techniques that could grant others new powers and glimpse the dangerous Root beneath the God Tree. After giving fruits to her companions and accidentally awakening Tobirama's Sharingan, she began testing Susanoo on Mount Myōboku.

• Shingetsu awakened her Mangekyō Sharingan and learned that Kuraokami could plant power-granting fruits while Kuninotokotachi let her perceive the Root.

• Izuna suggested returning to Konoha for a feast, where Tobirama and Izuna cooked while Shingetsu showed Hōkaku and Tōka her Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Shingetsu gave God Tree Fruits to Tōka and Hōkaku, and [Kuraokami] was revealed to preserve the lives of her Divine Apostles at the cost of their fruits' energy.

Tobirama and Izuna's kitchen fight revealed that Izuna had awakened the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, while the God Tree Fruits linked Shingetsu and the other Divine Apostles and greatly increased their power. After Madara gave Shingetsu his Mangekyō notes and sealed Izanagi into her eyes, Tobirama secretly confronted her about controlling his new Sharingan, and she offered to help if he returned her Rabbit.

After Shingetsu left with Kaguya Bunny, Tobirama accepted his new eyes, while Jigen entered Konoha claiming he had come to find his daughter.

• Tobirama returned Kaguya Bunny to Shingetsu and bribed her with sweets to teach him to use the Sharingan.
• Shingetsu admitted she could not explain how to control the Sharingan, since using it came naturally to her.

• Izuna scolded Madara for giving Hashirama his Rinnegan, while Tobirama reprimanded Hashirama for recklessly implanting it.
• Tobirama brought Hashirama and Shingetsu to his laboratory, produced Shingetsu cells, and injected them into Hashirama to stop his body from rejecting the Rinnegan.
