• Uchiha Izuna struck Ebizo’s tailed beast chakra reactor with his flaming Kusanagi Sword, and Ebizo emerged from his damaged armor in an altered form.

• Uchiha Izuna triggered Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags, engulfing Ebizo and the blood pelican in continuous explosions.

• Zeh Huo’s curse power transformed Ebizo’s body, and he introduced himself as the King of Curses.

Uchiha Gen fought Zeh Huo, countering his attacks with Trick Room and Golden Experience Requiem before summoning Susanoo against Zeh Huo’s beast and curse techniques. Zeh Huo expanded his domain, and Uchiha Gen answered with Naruson Domain, leaving their barriers clashing across the battlefield.

• Zeh Huo attacked Uchiha Gen and the others with black spears, but Uchiha Izuna warned them that the spears bypassed the body and could not be tracked by the Mangekyō Sharingan.

• Uchiha Gen expanded Naruson Domain, and its barrier collided with Zeh Huo’s domain as their powers warped and tore at the surrounding space.

Uchiha Gen clashed with Zeh Huo, using his domain and Golden Experience Requiem to wound him while Zeh Huo struggled to understand why his curse power could not affect him. After breaking free of a fabricated world, Zeh Huo abandoned his probing and launched a powerful curse-infused arrow at Uchiha Gen.

• Uchiha Izuna asked Uchiha Hikari how Uchiha Gen could project his Naruson Domain, and she told him to stop bothering her.
• Uchiha Gen and Zeh Huo broke through their competing domains and crossed blades with Ryūjin Jakka and a black spear.

• Zeh Huo remembered that Uchiha Gen had already defeated him, then fired his arrow again as the fourteen-thousand-eight-hundred-and-sixty-seventh repetition began.
• Uchiha Izuna asked Uchiha Gen where Zeh Huo had gone, and Uchiha Gen explained how his Dōjutsu and [Izanami] had trapped Zeh Huo before [Golden Experience Requiem] prevented him from living.
• Uchiha Izuna realized that Uchiha Gen and the female Uchiha knew he was dead and had an Impure World Reincarnation body.
• Uchiha Izuna recalled Tobirama Senju's warning to hide his reincarnated body and silently hoped Tobirama would come help him.

Uchiha Gen and Uchiha Hikari left Uchiha Izuna behind and headed toward Sunagakure, where they discussed the Shinobi World's hidden history and the power surrounding the tanuki Gen planned to capture. Gen revealed that the figure known as Zeh Huo was only an incomplete version of the real one.

• Uchiha Gen and Uchiha Hikari walked away from the bewildered Uchiha Izuna, who remained alone in the ruins of the Konoha camp.
• Uchiha Gen told Uchiha Hikari that Izuna and an evil figure still had a mission to complete, and he hinted at the Shinobi World's tangled karma.
• Uchiha Hikari sensed that Sunagakure's chakra was tainted by Zeh Huo's power and detected something strange in the village.
• Uchiha Gen explained that the Shinobi World had devoured three other worlds and kept their destined individuals as seeds to spread their powers.
• Uchiha Gen said Zeh Huo was not the complete real Zeh Huo, who probably did not yet know his own identity.

• Uchiha Gen explained that Zeh Huo split himself into three parts and described what the other two “seeds” had done, stirring Uchiha Hikari’s curiosity.
• Uchiha Gen sensed Kakuzu approaching and hurried toward him, with Uchiha Hikari following.
• Kakuzu noticed an Uchiha with the Mangekyō Sharingan on a bounty scroll but decided not to challenge him.
• Kakuzu sensed danger, fled, and attacked Uchiha Gen and Uchiha Hikari from beneath the desert with black tendrils.
• Uchiha Hikari used Amaterasu to burn away the tendrils, while Kakuzu watched through them and recognized the pair as Uchiha.
• Kakuzu became excited by the prospect of capturing the two young Uchiha and turning them into avatars under his control.

Uchiha Hikari attacked Kakuzu with Wood Release, triggering his fear of Hashirama Senju and causing him to self-destruct before being reborn inside a Sunagakure villager. Meanwhile, Chiyo learned Rasa wanted to discuss the war plan again and questioned Pakura about the monstrous changes Sunagakure’s fighters had undergone.

• Uchiha Hikari caught Kakuzu with a Wood Dragon, and Kakuzu self-destructed after recognizing Wood Release.
• Kakuzu rebirthed inside a Sunagakure villager and fled underground while muttering that Hashirama Senju was alive.

• Pakura said she accepted the sacrifices for Sunagakure’s hope of victory, though she looked with disgust at her changed body.

Uchiha Gen and Uchiha Hikari approached Sunagakure, where the Solar Disc held a tainted Tailed Beast. Hikari gathered chakra from across the world, raised a gigantic Thousand-Armed Kannon, and began covering it with Susanoo.

• Chiyo worried that the Solar Disc and its Possession Ritual would bring ruin to Sunagakure despite giving its ninja power.
• Uchiha Gen identified the Solar Disc as the place where the little tanuki was sealed and warned that the Tailed Beast might lose control.

• Uchiha Hikari used Yachihoko to draw chakra from across the world and formed a colossal Thousand-Armed Kannon with Wood Release.
• Uchiha Hikari declared “Susanoo... majestic attire!” as Uchiha Gen stood atop the Kannon.

Uchiha Hikari unleashed the Susanoo-clad Thousand-Armed Kannon against Sunagakure, first attacking the Solar Disc and then turning her assault on the village itself. Fourth Kazekage Rasa and Chiyo tried to hold it back as the village faced destruction.

• Kakuzu saw the colossal Thousand-Armed Kannon outside Sunagakure, withdrew his tendrils, and buried himself in fear.
• Uchiha Hikari laughed as she controlled the Susanoo-clad Kannon and sent its countless hands toward the Solar Disc.
• Chiyo and Ebizo recognized that the Solar Disc could destroy much of Sunagakure if it fell, and Chiyo rushed to intervene.

• Uchiha Hikari changed her target from the Solar Disc to Sunagakure, and Uchiha Gen watched without trying to stop her.
• Rasa remained the first to face Uchiha Hikari’s renewed attack on the village.

Rasa used Sunagakure’s gold dust and iron sand to create a giant that fought Uchiha Hikari’s Thousand-Armed Kannon, while the village sheltered behind a barrier. As Rasa’s chakra nearly ran out and black markings spread across his face, black flames swept across the battlefield.

• Rasa ordered weaker shinobi to retreat, directed the Sealing Squad to activate the Demon-Sealing Barrier, and rallied the remaining defenders to protect Sunagakure.
• Rasa drew gold dust and iron sand from the desert to rebuild his giant, then charged at Uchiha Hikari’s Thousand-Armed Kannon.
• Uchiha Hikari and Uchiha Gen noted that curse power from the Solar Disc had contaminated Rasa’s chakra and that his strength surpassed expectations.
• Uchiha Hikari grew serious, shattered the gold dust giant’s arms, and drove Rasa close to exhausting his chakra.
• Rasa forced his magnetic field and chakra to their limits to withstand another assault, but black flames suddenly swept across the land.

Pakura, Chiyo, and Rasa fought Uchiha Hikari as her Amaterasu overwhelmed Sunagakure’s defenses. With Hikari’s ocular power failing, Uchiha Gen released Ryūjin Jakka’s Bankai and unleashed a slash that reduced everything in its path to ash.

• Pakura used Scorch Release: Dark Style: Evaporating Hell to burn the Thousand-Armed Kannon’s Susanoo armor and disrupt its chakra.
• Chiyo unleashed the Ten Seals of Ruin, sending black chains to bind the Thousand-Armed Kannon statue.
• Uchiha Hikari spread Amaterasu across the battlefield, devouring Pakura’s flames, destroying the chains, burning through Sunagakure’s barrier, and absorbing power from those killed.
• Rasa’s gold dust giant collapsed, and Rasa was buried beneath the gold dust with shattered bones and exhausted chakra.
• Uchiha Hikari’s ocular power began to fail, so Uchiha Gen summoned Ryūjin Jakka and released Bankai: Zanka no Tachi.
• Uchiha Gen used Zanka no Tachi, North: Heaven and Earth End in Ashes, sending an invisible-heat slash across the battlefield that turned everything in its path to ash.

Shukaku broke free from the shattered Solar Disc and unleashed his curse-tainted power on Sunagakure. As the settlement was swallowed by black sand, he formed a massive Tailed Beast Bomb.

• Kakuzu hid deep underground and watched in terror as Sunagakure crumbled beneath the Thousand-Armed Kannon and Amaterasu.
• A slash cut the Solar Disc in half, tearing open a dark rift in the sky.
• Shukaku burst from the remaining half of the Solar Disc, his body covered in black sand and curse patterns.
• Shukaku sent a tide of cursed sand across Sunagakure, corroding buildings and killing civilians and shinobi caught in its path.
