• Uchiha Gen realized Shimura Danzō had died long ago and activated his Dōjutsu-Neither-Living-Nor-Dead Past Self.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi realized Tobirama had named Danzō as a potential successor and wondered why he had not been chosen.

Tobirama Senju returned to Konoha gravely wounded, while Hiruzen Sarutobi accused Shimura Danzō of wanting him to die so Danzō could become Hokage. Tobirama had only three hours left, and he accepted his fate while apologizing to Mito Uzumaki for leaving her to care for Tsunade and Nawaki.

• Uchiha Gen watched Tobirama Senju vanish and used his Mangekyō Sharingan to investigate the tangled threads of history.

• Kagami Uchiha told Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō that Tobirama Senju had awakened and wanted to see them.
• Tobirama Senju was revealed to have brought the group back to Konoha with Flying Thunder God after escaping Kinkaku and Ginkaku, so the message about naming a Third Hokage never reached Mito Uzumaki.
• Mito Uzumaki told Tobirama Senju he had about three hours left, and he apologized for leaving her to care for Tsunade and Nawaki.

As he lay dying, Tobirama Senju questioned his disciples and weighed Hiruzen Sarutobi against Shimura Danzō as Konoha’s next Hokage. He left the final choice to them, but Hiruzen’s reaction to Tobirama’s gaze showed his hesitation, while Danzō remained silent.

• Tobirama Senju left the Hokage decision to Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō, then urged them and Kagami Uchiha to resolve Konoha’s tensions with the Uchiha Clan.
• Kagami Uchiha vowed to help his clan integrate into Konoha, and Tobirama Senju’s words and touch prompted Kagami to awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan as Tobirama died.
• Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura argued that Hiruzen Sarutobi should become Hokage, while Kagami Uchiha supported letting Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō decide and believed Danzō was the better choice.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi invited Shimura Danzō to talk at the Back Mountain, and Danzō sensed killing intent in Hiruzen’s words.

• Shimura Danzō left the hospital with Hiruzen Sarutobi to discuss the Hokage position at the Back Mountain.

• Enma said Mito would not interfere, demanded Kagami’s eyes, and spread Dream Release chakra across the forest.
• Uchiha Gen observed the confrontation, judged Kagami’s defeat inevitable, and followed a thread of causality connected to Kagami’s Mangekyō Sharingan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi transplanted Kagami Uchiha’s Mangekyō Sharingan, used its power to create a separate Shimura Danzō to bear his darkness, and revealed the origin of their conflict. Back in the present, Uchiha Gen recruited Uchiha Hikari to help confront Hiruzen, and she reluctantly agreed.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi took Kagami Uchiha’s nearly blind Mangekyō Sharingan and transplanted them into his own eye sockets.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi awakened Kagami’s Dōjutsu, [Eight Thoughts and Perceptions], and analyzed Dream Release, Enma Secret Techniques, and the Five Release Secret Technique.
