Seiichi met Tsunade and Jiraiya before overseeing the Uchiha’s medical injections and improved Nutrient Solution. Elder Uchiha Setsuna then revealed that the Hokage Faction’s records contained a forgotten secret about an Uchiha who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, but he had not yet disclosed the name.

• Seiichi greeted Tsunade and Jiraiya by chance and said he hoped the Uchiha and Senju clans could work together.

• Setsuna explained that an old scroll bearing the Senju Clan Crest revealed that an Uchiha had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, then paused before giving his name.

Shana told Seiichi that Nameless had been sealed by a lost jutsu that froze space and time, and gave him the likely location of the sealing site. Seiichi reached the site, found a huge mountain standing alone on a plain, and began attacking it with Susanoo before stopping to reconsider.

• Shana explained that Nameless had been sealed by Senju and Uzumaki experts, and that the jutsu had frozen his consciousness and physical growth.
• Seiichi asked Shana for the sealing site's location, and she gave him a map and an address in the southeastern Land of Fire.
• Seiichi teleported to the site and found a towering mountain rising from a flat plain.
• Seiichi summoned Susanoo and used Shusui Parting Clouds to unleash a barrage of blade energy at the mountain.
• Seiichi stopped attacking after filling the mountain with gashes and holes, realizing he might have acted foolishly.

Seiichi carved through a mountain and discovered a sealed stone chamber containing an immense Composite Sealing Formation. He recognized the formation’s value but left its prisoner and exact workings unexplained.

• Seiichi used Wind Release: Great Breakthrough to clear the dust from the mountain peak.
• Seiichi reduced Susanoo to its third stage and used Shusui Parting Clouds to hollow out a cave.
• Seiichi entered the cave in his mini Perfect Susanoo armor and continued digging until he broke into a hidden stone chamber.
• Seiichi discovered a vast Composite Sealing Formation with nine pillars and golden chains binding a central pillar.
• Seiichi identified the formation as fourteen seals, including Adamantine Sealing Chains, and wondered why it was used to imprison an Uchiha clansman with the Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Seiichi judged the ancient formation too valuable to destroy casually and considered how difficult it would be to reproduce without its original documentation.

Seiichi memorized the Composite Sealing Formation, then used Shusui Parting Clouds to force his way through it and rescue a trapped Uchiha. The rescued woman, Uchiha Hikari, attacked him with Amaterasu and trapped him in Tsukuyomi, where he began trying to break free.

• Seiichi recorded the Composite Sealing Formation in his mind and chose to demolish its central pillar rather than solve it by normal means.
• Seiichi tested the formation with ordinary Ninjutsu, saw that it absorbed his attacks, and pierced the central pillar with Shusui Parting Clouds.
• As the space collapsed, Seiichi grabbed a newly sensed life-form and teleported away before the mountain vanished, leaving a vast pit behind.
• The rescued Uchiha woman attacked Seiichi with Amaterasu, and he separated the burning portion of his Tengu Armor.
• Seiichi realized the woman was Uchiha Hikari, who used Tsukuyomi to pin him inside a dark chamber; he shouted for the illusion to break.

Seiichi broke Hikari’s genjutsu and learned that the Uchiha had raised her as a weapon because of her powerful Yachihoko ability. After hearing her story and learning her real name, he told her that several hundred years had passed and that the Senju and Uzumaki clans had largely been wiped out.

• Seiichi broke Hikari’s genjutsu, endured her Yachihoko marking attempt, and knocked her down after she attacked him.
• Seiichi questioned Hikari about her hatred of the Uchiha, gave her healing pills, and learned that her clan had raised her as a weapon and renamed her Uchiha Nanashi.
• Hikari told Seiichi that her real name was Uchiha Hikari, and Seiichi encouraged her to leave the name Nanashi behind.
• Seiichi told Hikari that the Senju and Uzumaki clans had been largely wiped out and that several hundred years had passed since her era.
• Hikari reacted in disbelief as she realized how much time had passed.

Hikari agreed to return to the Uchiha Clan with Seiichi after he promised that no one would force her to fight. At the clan compound, Mikoto began treating Hikari’s severe injuries with her Mangekyō Sharingan, while Seiichi watched as the harmful effects left her body.

• Seiichi told Hikari that the Senju, Uzumaki, and Uchiha Clans from her era were gone, and promised she could live freely if she returned with him.
• Hikari accepted Seiichi’s invitation, and he carried her back to the Uchiha Clan Compound.
• Seiichi found Mikoto treating an injured clan member and asked her to treat Hikari first.
• Mikoto used her Mangekyō Sharingan’s Light Shield on Hikari, causing black, gray, and red gases to rise from her body.
• Mikoto explained that the gases represented negative factors, old injuries, and recent wounds, then ended the treatment once they stopped appearing.
• Seiichi stepped forward to check Hikari’s condition.

Seiichi brought Hikari to his Laboratory after Mikoto healed her, and Hikari discovered that she had nowhere to return to. She met Shisui and Itachi, and they invited her to stay with them, though she had not yet decided what to do.

• Mikoto healed Hikari, and Seiichi carried her to the Laboratory so she could rest.
• Hikari woke feeling healthier, learned why Seiichi had founded the Laboratory, and admitted she had no home to return to.
• Itachi arrived with Shisui, and Seiichi introduced Hikari as a fellow Uchiha who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Shisui asked how Hikari had awakened her Mangekyō, but she declined to discuss her painful memories.
• Itachi invited Hikari to stay at his house, and Seiichi joined in persuading her to remain with them.

• Seiichi urged Hikari to stay with the Uchiha, and she agreed before sharing a meal with him, Shisui, and Itachi.
• Hikari trained with Shisui and Itachi and spent her days walking and eating with Seiichi as she adjusted to her new life.
• Fugaku told Seiichi that Tsunade would be inaugurated as the Fourth Hokage the next day, and Seiichi decided to attend.
• Seiichi brought Hikari, Shisui, and Itachi to Tsunade’s inauguration, where she accepted the Hokage hat and addressed the villagers.
• After the ceremony, Minato invited Seiichi to meet with Tsunade, and Seiichi asked whether he would serve as her close guard or aide.

Seiichi negotiated Uchiha support for Tsunade’s investigation of Danzo in exchange for autonomy over a new territory, then joined Kakashi and several Anbu at Root’s former headquarters. The group arrived at the site, and Kakashi asked Seiichi how they should enter.

• Tsunade asked the Uchiha Clan to provide high-level combat support, and Seiichi negotiated a preliminary agreement granting them an exclusive territory near the village.
• Seiichi agreed to protect the investigators probing Danzo and asked how far he could go; Tsunade said he could kill Danzo only with evidence and had to bring him back alive.

• Four days after Tsunade’s inauguration, Seiichi met Kakashi and several Anbu, who told him they were heading to Root’s former headquarters.
• Kakashi explained that Danzo had restarted Root with members of the Shimura Clan, and the group reached the headquarters as Kakashi asked Seiichi how to enter.

• Seiichi cast the Ordinary Villager genjutsu on himself, Kakashi, and the other Anbu, then sent clones after the team when they split up.

• Danzo attacked Kakashi with Wind Release techniques, and Kakashi fled the destruction of an earthen wall as the assault continued.

Seiichi used Susanoo to destroy Root, taunted Danzo, and apparently killed him before Hiruzen and Tsunade arrived. He then restored Danzo, immobilized him and Hiruzen, and prepared to demonstrate how Danzo had come back to life.

• Seiichi summoned Susanoo and demolished Root while slapping away the people who tried to approach.

Seiichi exposed Danzo’s stolen Sharingan and use of Izanagi, then tried to take the eyes back despite Tsunade’s order to wait for an investigation. Danzo revealed his Wood Release, but Seiichi’s chakra Tengu Armor blocked it, leaving Danzo pleading for his life and Hiruzen tempted by his claims about Konoha’s future.

• Danzo used Wood Release: Cutting Sprigs against Seiichi, but Seiichi’s chakra Tengu Armor blocked the branches.
• Danzo begged Hiruzen Sarutobi for help and claimed his Hashirama cells and Wood Release could help Konoha, exciting Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Seiichi took one of Danzo’s Sharingan and prepared to finish confronting him, but Hiruzen Sarutobi intervened and argued that Danzo should be spared. The chapter left Seiichi furious at Hiruzen’s defense of Danzo, while Tsunade challenged Hiruzen’s disregard for the Uchiha Clan’s rights.

• Seiichi tore out Danzo’s right Sharingan and handed it to a fellow Uchiha for safekeeping.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped in and proposed confining Danzo to the Shimura Clan’s grounds for the rest of his life.
• Seiichi restrained his clan members and told Hiruzen to either fight the Uchiha alongside the Shimura Clan or stop interfering.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi found that the other villagers would not openly join him, but insisted on protecting Danzo and keeping the remaining Sharingan for him.
• Tsunade tried to stop Seiichi and questioned Hiruzen Sarutobi’s defense of Danzo, while Hiruzen argued that the village should make an exception for a contributor.

Seiichi confronted Hiruzen Sarutobi over Danzo’s theft of the Uchiha Sharingan and the village’s past persecution of the Uchiha. He vowed to repay the Sarutobi and Shimura clans in kind, then stopped Danzo from reaching Tsunade after she saw blood and weakened.

• Seiichi challenged Hiruzen Sarutobi to name Danzo’s contributions, and Hiruzen could only claim that Danzo had worked diligently.
• Seiichi argued that the Uchiha Clan had no duty to reward Danzo and mocked his history of scheming against the Uchiha, drawing cheers from the clan members.

• Seiichi searched the Uchiha clan’s forbidden texts and found an incomplete technique that infused ninjutsu with captured natural energy.

Seiichi focused on training and strengthening the Uchiha Clan as its leaders gained powerful new abilities, while Kakashi lost his left eye in a mysterious attack that Seiichi suspected was Obito’s work. With Mikoto and Kushina nearing their due dates, Seiichi ordered Shisui to maintain security and remained watchful as the chapter ended with mention of a newly established division.

• Seiichi devoted himself to training and ninjutsu, while he expanded practical combat training and resources for the Uchiha Clan’s younger members.
