Xuandou emerged from his evolution to find the Shinobi World under attack by Shibai Ōtsutsuki, who tried to destroy it with the sun and his own power. Xuandou shielded the planet, then hid it in another dimension, leaving himself half a year to find a solution while Shibai repeatedly failed to perceive it.

On a barren planet, Urashiki proposed that his squad grow a God Tree and bring a fruit back to the Ōtsutsuki Main Family.

• Xuandou assessed Shibai Ōtsutsuki’s devastating attack and concluded that he could not defeat every Ōtsutsuki within six months.

Xuandou explained why natural energy cultivation suited ordinary people better than chakra and planned to open the Uchiha Library Pavilion to strengthen the Shinobi World before the Ōtsutsuki crisis.

• People across the Shinobi World embraced natural energy cultivation, and ordinary people began making rapid progress with the method.
• Xuandou concluded that chakra cultivation was poorly suited to ordinary humans, while systematic natural energy training offered them greater prospects.

• Xuandou fell asleep after consuming the Divine Marrow, and over fifteen days his body transformed, developing golden blood and an aura that resonated with the world.
• Xuandou sensed that the transformation had begun a leap beyond his perfected Ōtsutsuki bloodline and that his children could inherit his shinjutsu.

• Xuandou reshaped the Ten-Tails into Nyanko-Teacher’s form, infused it with Yin-Yang Release, and brought it to life.

Xuandou returned to the Imperial Palace with a Ten-Tails Sapling shaped like a Maneki-neko and gave it to Hiiragi to raise after setting rules. As Hiiragi and the sapling began their new life together, Xuandou remained intent on preparing to confront the Ōtsutsuki Main Family.

Xuandou weighed whether to use his final lottery draw now or wait until the Uchiha Clan reached S-S-rank, then decided to seek Hagoromo and Hamura's help raising the clan's prosperity. After summoning the brothers in the Pure Land, he invited them to become Uchiha Clan Elders.

• Xuandou considered the low odds of rare lottery rewards and decided to pursue the S-S-rank family quest before using his remaining draw.

• The Sage of Six Paths asked Xuandou whether Kaguya had been sealed, and Xuandou falsely said he had not found her.
• Xuandou asked Hagoromo and Hamura to become Clan Elders of the Uchiha Clan.

Xuandou asked Hagoromo and Hamura to become Uchiha Clan Elders, arguing that the roles would let them approach Princess Kaguya without arousing suspicion. Hagoromo accepted, while Hamura remained reluctant and both sensed Xuandou was drawing them into something bigger.

• Hagoromo agreed to Xuandou's request, but said Hamura could not join the Uchiha Clan as an Elder.
• Xuandou argued that both brothers were connected to the Uchiha by blood and said the roles would help them approach Princess Kaguya.

• Hagoromo and Hamura both felt that Xuandou was leading them toward a major undertaking, though they did not know what it was.

Xuandou killed Hamura and the Sage of Six Paths in the Pure Land, then reversed time before Hamura attacked. The brothers returned to the moment before the fight, stunned by Xuandou's strength as he pressed them to join the Uchiha Clan.

• Xuandou accused Hagoromo and Hamura of putting their own interests above the Shinobi World's future, and Hamura attacked him in anger.

• Xuandou used Tokitsumori to reverse time by one minute, restoring Hagoromo and Hamura before Hamura's attack.
• Xuandou told the brothers that he had saved them from their sudden attack, and they realized how easily he had defeated them.

Hamura apologized to Xuandou after losing their clash, and Xuandou appointed him and Hagoromo as Uchiha clan elders. A system quest then tasked Xuandou with bringing Indra and Asura under his command, rewarding him with an Identity Card.

• Hagoromo explained that he and Hamura had regained their senses, and Hamura apologized to Xuandou and agreed to follow his arrangements.
• Hamura reconsidered his own complacency after Xuandou defeated him, while Xuandou reflected that Hamura’s attacks deserved a harsher response.

• The system issued Xuandou the side quest “A family,” requiring him to bring Indra and Asura under his command for an Identity Card.
• Xuandou considered how the Identity Card might help him at the Ōtsutsuki Clan Grounds.

Xuandou used an Identity Card to change how the Ōtsutsuki would perceive him, then approached Urashiki, Momoshiki, and Kinshiki. Momoshiki recognized him as the Ōtsutsuki Clan Head, leaving Xuandou face-to-face with the three.

• Urashiki demanded that the group decide which of them would be sacrificed to the Ten-Tails Sapling before he revealed the way to the Life Planet.
