• Shuo repelled Akatsuki’s attacks on Sunagakure and defeated the Six Paths of Pain, but the exhausted Shuo was later surrounded by White Zetsu before Tobi drove them off.
• Shuo met Obito and learned that Rin’s consciousness remained inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, then helped free her by stopping the statue’s revival.

• Shuo and Obito entered the Ten-Tails to rescue Rin, and Shuo unleashed his light to destroy its inner world while Obito escaped with her.
• After Shuo recovered, he faced masked attackers and sensed Pain approaching with Konan and Madara Uchiha, and Madara removed his mask and charged at Shuo.

Shuo faced Kaguya as she emerged from the moon, then chose to protect the fragments of her scattered body rather than destroy them. When the fragments revealed that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was hunting Kaguya, Shuo regained his light and set out with them for the moon, with Sai following.

• Shuo confronted Kaguya beneath the cracking moon, and his light damaged her while leaving a burning speck inside her, and he survived and later fought off her cloud with the light that had returned.
• Shuo began sheltering Kaguya’s scattered fragments, giving them candy and names, and refused to let Kaguya reclaim the light they carried.
• Kaguya appeared before Shuo and her fragments, eased Hand Princess Big’s pain, and agreed to leave the four with Shuo while she searched for the others.
• At the Five Kage Summit, Shuo defended the fragments’ choice to stay with him, and Gaara vouched for them so the Raikage accepted their presence in the Land of Fire.
• More fragments joined Shuo, who shared Miyoko’s candies with them as the light in his palm grew brighter.
• A vast crowd of fragments gathered at Shuo’s shelter, and their enormous torso told him that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was targeting Kaguya on the moon.
• The torso gave Shuo Kaguya’s final tear, restoring his former power and revealing that his light had taken root in the fragments and connected them to him.
• Shuo left for the far side of the moon with the fragments to bring Kaguya back, and Sai hurried after him.

Shuo and the Fragments fought Isshiki and the Ten-Tails, sharing their light until the threats were defeated and the Fragments survived as lights within Shuo. Kaguya left to find her original self, while Shuo stayed in rebuilt Konoha with Isshiki, Little Black, and the Fragments.

• Shuo rescued Kaguya from Isshiki on the moon and brought her to Konoha, where she settled in and the Fragments helped rebuild in exchange for candy.
• Isshiki attacked Konoha, but Shuo joined his light with the Fragments’ and drove Isshiki away before the group faced the Ten-Tails emerging from the moon.
• Shuo and the Fragments defeated the Ten-Tails, but Isshiki awakened inside Shuo and revealed that his other half remained among the Ten-Tails’ fragments.
• Shuo accepted Little Black, the Isshiki inside him, and later welcomed the other Isshiki into their candy-sharing gathering rather than letting the halves merge.
• The true Ten-Tails attacked, killing several Fragments, and Shuo used the remaining Fragments’ light to destroy it before collapsing as they vanished.
• The true Kaguya Ōtsutsuki told Kaguya and the others that Shuo was the core of the surviving lights, and Shuo woke after seven days with the lights inside him.
• Kaguya left to find her original self, while Isshiki and Little Black stayed with Shuo and the Fragments as Konoha was rebuilt.
• Three years later, Shuo returned to Miyoko’s shop, received the candies she had saved, and decided to stay in Konoha with the Fragments.
