• Shukaku spoke through Bunpuku and promised to tell Yan what the Nine-Tails hated most if Yan released him; Yan agreed and asked whether Shukaku wanted to come out now.

Uchiha Yan persuaded Shukaku to seal some of his chakra into a scroll so it could be taken to the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, exploiting Shukaku’s desire to taunt the Nine-Tails. As Shukaku considered his future and suspected Rasa of a scheme, Yan warned him about the Uzumaki Clan and revealed that Uzumaki survivors still existed.

• The Third Hokage agreed to consider Yan’s proposal and ordered his team to rest before joining Kakashi’s team on an important mission.
• Utatane Koharu asked Hiruzen about Yan’s reference to his mother leaving chakra behind, and Hiruzen said Yan believed Minato and Kushina had chosen to die so their chakra could watch Naruto grow; Hiruzen then suggested they visit Naruto.

The chapter ended with Yan discovering that Xiaren had copied a grandiose line from Yan’s memories and wondering whether another transmigrator was involved.

• The Third Hokage argued that adding One-Tail chakra could conceal Naruto’s identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and planned to send him to the Ninja Academy, while Utatane Koharu objected.
• Uchiha Yan visited Xiaren, praised his red-and-white outfit, and discussed the planned festival honoring Obito by releasing lanterns and offering incense.

• Xiaren explained that he had seen the line in Yan’s memories during a genjutsu, and Yan urgently asked what else Xiaren had seen.

Uchiha Yan tried to keep his plans and knowledge hidden while encouraging Uchiha pride, then grew suspicious of the Third Hokage’s operation to let a Kirigakure spy escape with false intelligence.

• Yan questioned the plan and suspected hidden arrangements, then suggested sending Uchiha Haruna instead of Kakashi to make the spy’s escape more plausible.
• The Third Hokage told Yan to follow orders, and Yan declared that he would become a Uchiha beyond Madara before theatrically demanding that everyone kneel.

Uchiha Yan and Hizashi waited by the Naka River to help a spy escape with false intelligence, while Yan worried Danzo was hiding part of the plan from the Third Hokage. As they waited, Yan made a bet that he could divine the spy’s age and sex, then tossed three leaves to begin.

• Yan explained to Hizashi that the mission was designed to let the spy escape, then sent the ninja cat Tahi to ask Shisui to investigate Jinghai Town.

• Yan taunted the injured male spy, who charged him, let Yan pierce his heart, then wrapped them both in explosive tags.

Uchiha Yan survived Qingshui’s suicide attack and learned that Orochimaru may be involved in the spy operation. Genji deduced that Danzo had kept Yan alive to use his intelligence about the Three-Tails, and suspected Konoha had already found where it would revive.

• Uchiha Yan escaped Qingshui’s explosion with the Substitution Technique, and Hizashi’s squad returned to report their mission to the Third Hokage.
• The Third Hokage ordered Hizashi’s squad to locate the Three-Tails and report its position before waiting for its revival.

• Yagura learned that Kirigakure had lost more than half its spies, including Yakushi Nonō and Yamada, over intelligence saying a Hyuga Main Family member was on the battlefield.
• Genji realized that Yan’s knowledge of the Three-Tails could explain why Danzo had sent him and Hizashi away, and concluded Konoha might use the Byakugan to find the beast’s revival site.

• Nagato praised Yan’s peace efforts and ordered Black Zetsu to help him obtain intelligence.
• Black Zetsu found Yan fishing, and Yan persuaded him to investigate Danzo in exchange for answering a question about making a Kage-level shinobi defect.

• Nagato dismissed Yan’s concerns as selfish and asked whether they should rescue him.

Nagato helped Uchiha Yan send a warning to Mitokado Homura after Hizashi turned against Yan and headed for Konoha. When the Third Hokage learned that Hizashi was returning, he ordered the Anbu to seize him at the village entrance.

• Nagato agreed to help Yan send a message and kept Jinyan in Amegakure rather than risk further trouble.
• Uchiha Yan asked Black Zetsu to warn Mitokado Homura that Hizashi knew the village's plan and was returning to Konoha, while Yan and Haruka were trapped and unable to use chakra.
• Haruka gave Black Zetsu her green-handled kunai as proof of her identity, and he carried her message to Mitokado Homura's command post.
• Mitokado Homura sent word to Hiruzen through Fugaku and a ninja cat, while Fugaku argued with Hyūga Maki over Hizashi's attack.
• The Third Hokage received the message, demanded to know what Hizashi was doing, and ordered the Anbu to apprehend him at the village entrance.

Hyuga Hiashi confronted the Third Hokage over Hyūga Shinkō’s safety and learned Konoha planned to attack the Former Site of the Land of Whirlpools. After the Third Hokage ordered Uchiha Yan brought back, Yan asked White Zetsu to deliver secret instructions, including a plan to hide Shinkō.

• Uchiha Yan told Haruka that the approaching capture team meant Konoha’s safety depended on her cooperation.

Uchiha Yan sent instructions for Rasa to threaten Konoha’s border, while a staged Kirigakure assault erupted at Jinghai Town and Shisui chose to defend Konoha instead of following Yan’s warning. Danzo believed his plans had succeeded, but a report about Uchiha Yan, Hizashi Hyuga, and Uchiha Haruna left him stunned.

• Shisui read Uchiha Yan’s blood letter, then heard that Kirigakure had launched an all-out attack and chose to fight for Konoha.

• Hizashi suggested joining forces with other clans, but Hiashi rejected the idea and explained why the Hyuga clan could not survive Konoha’s destruction.

While Uchiha Yan remained imprisoned, he staged a one-man historical drama that convinced Genma and Konoha’s leaders he had gone mad. He revealed that he was only acting and asked what had happened in the war and to the Hyūga.

• Hiashi agreed to wait for an opportunity to act, promising Hizashi he would try to stall events involving Neji if Shinkō was endangered.
• Uchiha Yan, driven to distraction by his isolation, began performing a script aloud in different voices and briefly felt his Sharingan nearing three tomoe.

• Utatane Koharu and the Third Hokage went to the cell, where they heard Uchiha Yan’s many voices and saw him acting out scenes while shedding fake bloody tears.
• Uchiha Yan explained that he had staged the performance and asked Utatane Koharu whether the war was over, whether Konoha had won, and what had happened to the Hyūga.

Uchiha Yan warned the Third Hokage that Sunagakure’s One-Tail could trigger a worldwide war, then learned Danzo’s trap was about to collide with the Three-Tails’ revival. He blamed Shisui for failing to follow his orders and accused Danzo of trading with Orochimaru for the Byakugan.
