After Jiraiya collected the bodies of Nagato, Konan, Yahiko, and the other Pain corpses, Uchiha Minamoto turned to handling the aftermath of the Five Kage Summit. Back at the battered summit building, Tobirama Senju asked to examine Rasa and his two attendants to learn why they had attacked.

• Tobirama Senju asked Mifune for permission to examine Rasa and his two attendants, and Mifune allowed it.

Uchiha Minamoto returned after defeating Nagato and learned that Rasa had been dead for two days, while Sunagakure’s guards had been controlled. The Kage began considering how to punish Sunagakure and divide the spoils, as Mifune prepared to challenge Ōnoki’s claim that the village should pay for the attack.

• Mifune began to object to Ōnoki blaming Sunagakure for an attack carried out by someone impersonating the already-dead Rasa.

• Ōnoki blamed Mifune and the Land of Iron for failing to protect the summit, and Mifune apologized and promised full compensation.

• Tobirama Senju questioned the need to invite Sunagakure, but Uchiha Minamoto said he would visit the Land of Wind himself.
• Uchiha Minamoto planned to have Sunagakure select a Fifth Kazekage or acting representative and collect Rasa's body.

Uchiha Minamoto decided to go to Sunagakure himself and investigate Rasa’s death, while Tobirama Senju warned him about the hidden enemies responsible. Their attempt to summon Rasa with Impure World Reincarnation failed, leading them to conclude that Orochimaru had already reanimated him.

• Uchiha Minamoto decided to travel to Sunagakure, citing the One-Tail and the village’s people as reasons to go himself.
• Tobirama Senju asked the outsiders to leave and warned Uchiha Minamoto that Rasa’s killer could be a dangerous hidden enemy.
• Uchiha Minamoto identified Kakuzu, Orochimaru, and Sasori of the Red Sands as leading suspects, based on their abilities and ties to Akatsuki.
• Tsunade suggested using Impure World Reincarnation to question Rasa, and Uchiha Minamoto prepared a White Zetsu as the sacrifice.
• The summoning failed, so Tobirama Senju reasoned that someone had already reanimated Rasa; Uchiha Minamoto concluded that Orochimaru was involved.

Uchiha Minamoto decided to travel to the Land of Wind to search for Orochimaru and protect Gaara from being hidden or captured. Before leaving, he entrusted the Land of Iron to Hashirama Senju and shared Madara Uchiha’s scrolls with the Hokage and his subordinates.

• Uchiha Minamoto worried that Orochimaru and Sasori of the Red Sands might attack Gaara and hide him with Shukaku the One-Tail, or that Madara Uchiha might be revived through Impure World Reincarnation.
• Uchiha Minamoto decided to go to the Land of Wind and nearby small countries, leaving Hashirama Senju in charge of matters in the Land of Iron and postponing his full revival.

• Tobirama Senju found the Rinne Rebirth jutsu, while Hashirama Senju and Tsunade discovered Madara’s collection of Wood Release techniques.
• Uchiha Minamoto gave Shisui Uchiha a scroll about the Sharingan and Kakashi Hatake a scroll for Yin Release: Lightning Dispatch.

• Uchiha Minamoto told Kakashi Hatake he could help him meet Hatake Sakumo again and promised to resurrect Kagami Uchiha for Shisui Uchiha.
• Shisui Uchiha thanked Uchiha Minamoto and activated his [Mangekyō Sharingan], while Uchiha Minamoto left Hashirama Senju in charge and headed for Sunagakure.
• Uchiha Minamoto used [Heavenly Net] to scan the Land of Wind and found no trace of Shukaku the One-Tail inside Sunagakure.
• Uchiha Minamoto detected Kakuzu in the desert but found neither Orochimaru nor Sasori of the Red Sands with him.
• Uchiha Minamoto sensed Rasa's chakra inside Kakuzu and teleported to confront him.

Uchiha Minamoto confronted Kakuzu in the Land of Wind and deduced that he had taken Rasa’s heart. Minamoto destroyed three of Kakuzu’s hearts with Light Release, prompting Kakuzu to counterattack with a combined fire-and-wind technique.

• Minamoto appeared before Kakuzu in the desert and identified him as an S-rank missing-nin and former Akatsuki member.
• Minamoto recognized Rasa’s chakra in Kakuzu and accused him of installing the Fourth Kazekage’s heart.
• When Kakuzu refused to answer, Minamoto pierced him with Light Fang, destroying his Earth Release heart.
• Minamoto fired twice more at Kakuzu, destroying his Water Release and Lightning Release hearts as Kakuzu pretended to be dead.
• Kakuzu escaped Minamoto’s next attack with his black threads and launched a combined fire-and-wind ninjutsu at him.

Uchiha Minamoto forced Kakuzu to reveal how he, Sasori of the Red Sands, and Orochimaru had attacked Sunagakure and taken Gaara. After learning Orochimaru had headed west with Gaara, Uchiha Minamoto killed Kakuzu with Amaterasu.

• Uchiha Minamoto destroyed Kakuzu's Fire-Release Mask and threatened to kill him, prompting Kakuzu to betray his former companions.
• Kakuzu revealed that Sasori of the Red Sands had planned the Kazekage assassination and that Orochimaru had taken Gaara after the attack.
• Kakuzu said Sasori had headed north while Orochimaru and Gaara went west, leading Uchiha Minamoto to plan a search toward the Land of Demons and the Land of Swamps.
• Uchiha Minamoto thanked Kakuzu for the information, then severed his Earth Grudge Fear tentacles with Amenotokotachi.
• Uchiha Minamoto set Kakuzu ablaze with Blaze Release: Amaterasu.

Uchiha Minamoto killed Kakuzu and gained the Earth Grudge Fear formula, then sent clones to search for Sasori and Orochimaru while heading to Sunagakure. He arrived above the village and demanded that whoever was in charge come out to meet him.

• Uchiha Minamoto burned Kakuzu to ashes with Amaterasu and sealed a severed tentacle holding the mask made from Rasa's heart.
• Uchiha Minamoto received five million Great Love Points and the S-rank Earth Grudge Fear formula for killing Kakuzu.
• Uchiha Minamoto learned that Earth Grudge Fear granted its user longevity and agelessness, and stored Kakuzu's tentacle for later use.
• Uchiha Minamoto sent one Lightning Doppelganger north to find Sasori of the Red Sands and another west to search for Orochimaru and Gaara.
• Uchiha Minamoto used Divine Lightning to reach Sunagakure, summoned Susanoo above the village, and called for whoever was in charge to meet him.

Sunagakure’s leaders struggled to find Gaara after the One-Tail Jinchuriki vanished and discovered that the Fourth Kazekage was unreachable. Uchiha Minamoto arrived in his Susanoo and asked whether Sunagakure had a candidate for Fifth Kazekage, prompting Granny Chiyo to step forward.

• Granny Chiyo questioned Sunagakure’s higher-ups about Gaara, but they had found no trace of him or learned anything from the Anbu assigned to watch him.
• Chiyo and Ebizo suspected someone in the village had leaked intelligence that helped Gaara’s abductors cover their tracks.
• The higher-ups reported that the Fourth Kazekage was unreachable while attending the Five Kage Summit, and Chiyo urged them to send someone to the Land of Iron.
• A giant deep-blue Susanoo appeared over Sunagakure, and Granny Chiyo recognized it as Uchiha Minamoto’s.
• Uchiha Minamoto appeared on the Kazekage Hokage Building rooftop and asked whether Sunagakure had a candidate for Fifth Kazekage.
• After the frightened Sunagakure ninja hesitated, Granny Chiyo stepped forward.

Uchiha Minamoto showed Sunagakure’s leaders a genjutsu reproducing Rasa’s attack on the Five Kage Summit and revealed that Kakuzu had turned Rasa’s heart into a mask. Granny Chiyo tried to argue that the dead Rasa could not be held responsible for the attack, and Minamoto pointed to Sunagakure’s advanced Puppet Techniques.

• Uchiha Minamoto used Limited Tsukuyomi to show Granny Chiyo and the Sunagakure ninja Rasa attacking the Five Kage Summit and dying to Minamoto.
• The Sunagakure leaders realized Rasa’s actions could bring severe retaliation and financial ruin upon their village.
• Minamoto told Granny Chiyo that Rasa’s corpse remained at the Five Kage Summit Building and offered to let Sunagakure take custody of it.
• Minamoto revealed Rasa’s heart inside Amber Sealing and explained that Kakuzu had made it into a special mask.
• Granny Chiyo argued that Rasa had already been dead when the attack occurred, and Minamoto acknowledged her point before mentioning Sunagakure’s Puppet Techniques.

Uchiha Minamoto pressed Sunagakure to investigate the Fourth Kazekage’s death and send a representative to the resumed Five Kage Summit. After Minamoto left, the village’s senior officials hesitated to volunteer, and Granny Chiyo confronted them about nominating her as the Fifth Kazekage.

• Granny Chiyo rejected Minamoto’s suggestion that a Sunagakure Ninja controlled the Fourth Kazekage as a human puppet, while suspecting a missing-nin might be involved.
• Minamoto told Sunagakure to send a representative to examine the Kazekage’s corpse and attend the Five Kage Summit, and Granny Chiyo agreed.
• Minamoto said he would personally escort the new representative to the Land of Iron, then vanished using Kamui.
• Granny Chiyo ordered Sunagakure’s senior officials to choose a representative, but none volunteered because the summit seemed dangerous.
• Granny Chiyo asked whether the officials intended to nominate her as the Fifth Kazekage.

Granny Chiyo refused to become the Fifth Kazekage but agreed to represent Sunagakure at the Five Kage Summit. She and Ebizo suspected Sasori had killed the Fourth Kazekage and abducted Gaara, and Ebizo raised the possibility that Sasori had also killed the Third Kazekage.

• Sunagakure's leaders urged Granny Chiyo to take the Kazekage position, but she declined and agreed to attend the Five Kage Summit as the village's representative.
• After the other leaders left, Chiyo told Ebizo she suspected Sasori had assassinated Rasa and might have taken Gaara.
• Ebizo realized Sasori's membership in Akatsuki and his strength made him a plausible suspect in Rasa's death and Gaara's disappearance.
• Ebizo asked whether Sasori had also assassinated the Third Kazekage, whose disappearance coincided with Sasori leaving Sunagakure.

Uchiha Minamoto analyzed Nagato's Rinnegan and discovered Limbo: Border Jail, but decided to save his points and upgrade his own eyes instead. He committed his entire reserve to evolving his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan into a Rinne Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

• Uchiha Minamoto traveled to an uninhabited desert in the Land of Wind after finishing his talks with Sunagakure's leadership.
• Uchiha Minamoto used Heart of Great Love to analyze Nagato's Rinnegan and discovered the Limbo: Border Jail dōjutsu.
• Uchiha Minamoto weighed Limbo: Border Jail's strengths against its cost and decided not to spend points copying it.
• Uchiha Minamoto ordered Heart of Great Love to upgrade his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and the panel stated that the deduction would cost three hundred million points.
• Uchiha Minamoto accepted the cost and spent his entire reserve on the upgrade.
