• The hundred Seiichis used Secret Technique: Body into Darkness and formed Black Holes a kilometer in diameter.

Seiichi used a giant black hole to annihilate the twenty-nation allied army of 56 million, ending the war within minutes. The dark energy from the massacre then awakened a Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan in both his eyes.

• Seiichi merged a hundred artificial black holes into one that covered the allied forces and pulled the soldiers into it.
• The allied troops were swallowed and ground away as Shisui and Mu filmed the massacre from within Mu's Kamui Dimension.

• Seiichi's Rinnegan evolved, gaining nine tomoe in each eye.

• Hagoromo watched Seiichi vanish and wondered when another Six Paths-level powerhouse had appeared in the Shinobi World.

After testing his strength against the Sage of Six Paths, Seiichi returned to Konoha and resolved to train harder rather than risk the Uchiha Clan by resetting the world. He left the empire’s officials to handle new submissions while preparing to focus on greater challenges.

• Seiichi concluded that neither he nor the Sage of Six Paths could overcome the other in their brief clash, and he vowed to strengthen himself further.

• The Land of Iron was destroyed on December 31, Konoha Year 54, and the Uchiha Empire completed its unification of the Shinobi World.

After consolidating his power, Seiichi traveled with Tsunade to Shikkotsu Forest to meet the Slug Sage and relocate her to the Uchiha Empire. The Slug Sage sensed his overwhelming strength and ill intent as he made the demand.

• Seiichi absorbed the Katsuyu Sage’s corrosive attacks, wounded her with a black energy sphere, and forced her to surrender.

• Seiichi found a supporting space node and cracked it with a blow from his right fist.

• Seiichi crossed the spatial turbulence as Shikkotsu Forest collapsed, injuring the Katsuyu Sage and alarming Tsunade.
• Seiichi scanned the Shinobi World, found Ryūchi Cave, and tore open its spatial barrier to enter.
• The White Snake Sage sensed damage to Ryūchi Cave’s barrier, transformed into a giant white python, and investigated with Ichikishimahime and the other sage maidens.
• The White Snake Sage and the three maidens emerged and saw Seiichi in midair as he threw down a sphere of destructive energy.

Seiichi destroyed Ryūchi Cave with an exploding energy sphere and black hole, then entered Mount Myōboku to attack it. Gamamaru recognized him as the threat from his prophecy, but Seiichi’s Destruction Black Hole appeared to do nothing after he threw it among the toads.

• Seiichi detonated an energy sphere in Ryūchi Cave, badly injuring the Three Great Snake Princesses and damaging the White Snake Sage.
• Seiichi’s black hole sucked in the snake descendants, the Three Great Snake Princesses, and the White Snake Sage before he absorbed the energy and destroyed Ryūchi Cave’s space node.
• Gamamaru dreamed that Mount Myōboku would collapse and summoned Fukasaku and Shima to tell them of the danger.
• Seiichi tore open Mount Myōboku’s spatial barrier, and Gamamaru identified him as the culprit from his dream as the toads attacked.
• Seiichi dodged the toads’ attacks and threw a Destruction Black Hole into their midst, but it bounced on the ground without causing any apparent damage.

Seiichi destroyed Mount Myōboku and absorbed the resulting dark energy, then encountered the newly resurrected Madara Uchiha. He began challenging Madara’s understanding of the Eye of the Moon Plan and the Uchiha clan tablet, leaving Madara shocked by the claim that Black Zetsu was not born from his will.

• Seiichi unleashed a black hole that consumed Mount Myōboku and exterminated the Toad Clan and Snake Clan, leaving only Katsuyu among the Three Great Sage Lands.
• Seiichi absorbed the black hole’s dark energy, collapsed Mount Myōboku’s hidden realm, and returned to the Shinobi World to digest his power.
• Drawn north from Konoha, Seiichi found the resurrected Madara Uchiha and asked to speak with Black Zetsu.
• Seiichi invited Madara to help him maintain peace in the Shinobi World, which Madara had long pursued.
• Madara asked about the Uchiha clan tablet, and Seiichi said its message was half true and half false.
• Seiichi claimed Black Zetsu was born from someone else’s will rather than Madara’s, and Madara rejected the claim as impossible.

Seiichi exposed Black Zetsu’s deception and told Madara that the Eye of the Moon Plan was a scheme to release Kaguya Otsutsuki, not a plan for peace. After Madara pieced together the truth, Seiichi revealed that he intended to release Kaguya Otsutsuki himself.

• Seiichi challenged Madara to create another Black Zetsu, leading Madara to realize he could not control or locate the one he believed was his will made manifest.
• Seiichi tracked down Black Zetsu and restrained him with spatial energy, leaving him unable to escape.
• Madara asked whether the Eye of the Moon Plan was real, and Seiichi explained that it would drain the Shinobi World’s Chakra to break Kaguya Otsutsuki’s seal.
• Seiichi identified Kaguya Otsutsuki as the Sage of Six Paths’ mother, and Madara deduced that Black Zetsu had invented the plan to gather help releasing her.
• Madara asked why Seiichi wanted Black Zetsu, and Seiichi said he intended to release Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Seiichi agreed to help Black Zetsu reach Kaguya Otsutsuki’s lunar seal, and the three traveled to the moon through an ancient teleportation array. After Madara destroyed the stone guardians, the Moon Otsutsuki Clan confronted them and insulted them as natives.

• Seiichi asked Black Zetsu about ways to undo Kaguya’s seal without using Infinite Tsukuyomi, and Black Zetsu explained that they could go directly to the seal on the moon.
• Seiichi told Black Zetsu to lead him to Kaguya, and Madara followed with growing suspicion.
• Black Zetsu guided Seiichi and Madara to the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools, where they found an ancient teleportation array and traveled to the moon.
• Stone statues attacked the three, and Madara destroyed them with Shinra Tensei, alerting the Moon Otsutsuki Clan.
• Members of the Moon Otsutsuki Clan confronted Seiichi, Madara, and Black Zetsu, and one arrogantly called them natives from the Shinobi World.
