Uchiha Minamoto killed the masked man who claimed to be Madara Uchiha with a point-blank Amaterasu, shocking Uchiha Fugaku and the radical elders. After they recognized Minamoto’s Mangekyō Sharingan, their attention shifted from the dead intruder to his newly revealed power.

• Uchiha Fugaku asked Uchiha Minamoto what he thought about the Hokage, but a masked man appeared in the secret chamber before Minamoto could answer.
• Uchiha Minamoto immediately used Amaterasu on the masked man, who called himself Madara Uchiha, and the black flames consumed him.
• Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Tekka, and Uchiha Inabi watched in shock as the masked man vanished in the flames.
• Uchiha Minamoto dismissed the dead man’s claim to be Madara Uchiha, and Uchiha Setsuna and the other elders fell silent.
• Uchiha Fugaku recognized Minamoto’s attack as Amaterasu, and the elders saw the Mangekyō Sharingan in Minamoto’s eyes.

Uchiha Minamoto exposed the masked figure claiming to be Madara Uchiha as an impostor, then fought Obito Uchiha and blasted him through Naka Shrine into the sky. The clan elders watched in shock as Minamoto stood above the shrine, while Fugaku questioned whether Setsuna still believed the Masked Man was Madara.

• Uchiha Minamoto recognized the masked figure’s use of Izanagi and accused him of being a Root remnant rather than Madara Uchiha.
• Uchiha Minamoto provoked Obito Uchiha by mocking his arithmetic and grandmother, prompting Obito to attack with Kamui.

• Uchiha Minamoto hovered above the shrine as Setsuna and the others stared in disbelief, and Fugaku asked whether Setsuna still called the Masked Man Lord Madara.

• Uchiha Yashiro and the other clan radicals decided the Masked Man was a Root remnant and treated Uchiha Minamoto as the Uchiha Clan’s chosen champion.

• Obito Uchiha escaped Minamoto’s attacks by repeatedly entering the Kamui dimension and continued moving away from Konoha.

Uchiha Minamoto fought Obito Uchiha at the Valley of the End, revealing that his abilities could interfere with Kamui. Obito’s confidence collapsed when Minamoto exploited that brief interference to injure him severely with explosive tags.

• Obito Uchiha emerged atop Madara Uchiha’s statue and declared that he had seen through Uchiha Minamoto’s abilities and would win.
• Uchiha Minamoto attacked with Sage Art: Blaze Release: Great Fireball Technique, but Obito used Kamui to let the black flames pass through him.
• Uchiha Minamoto used Amenotokotachi, briefly making Obito’s connection to the Kamui dimension sluggish and leaving Obito shocked by the unfamiliar ability.
• Obito dismissed Minamoto’s summoned explosive tags and turned intangible as they detonated around him.
• Uchiha Minamoto activated Amenotokotachi again during the explosions, delaying Kamui long enough for the blasts to destroy part of Obito’s mask and blow off his right arm.

Uchiha Minamoto’s gravity-distorted blade cut Obito Uchiha in half, but Obito escaped into the Kamui dimension and had White Zetsu reconnect his body. Though Hashirama cells began healing him, Obito was badly injured and resolved to escape rather than face Minamoto again.

• Uchiha Minamoto used a gravity-compressed spatial rift to slash through Obito Uchiha’s Kamui intangibility and bisect him.
• Obito Uchiha transferred himself and his severed lower body into the Kamui dimension, then ordered White Zetsu to put him back together.
• Obito Uchiha’s Hashirama cells reconnected his body, but he feared he would fail to create a new world with Rin.
• Obito Uchiha ordered White Zetsu to buy him time so he could escape, then realized he could not perform wood-clone hand seals with his right arm missing.

Uchiha Minamoto hunted Obito Uchiha, who escaped through the Kamui dimension while using White Zetsus as decoys, then returned to Konoha. At the Naka Shrine, he asked Uchiha Fugaku what he thought of the Hokage, leaving the clan’s coup plans uncertain after their supposed trump card was driven away.

• Obito escaped into the Kamui dimension, and Minamoto waited for him before detecting a fleeing chakra signature and pursuing it.
• Minamoto cut down a White Zetsu disguised as Obito, then pursued more decoys and killed eighteen White Zetsus in total.
• Minamoto concluded that Obito had escaped using Kamui, vowed not to let him get away next time, and summoned Yatagarasu to devour the Blaze Release flames at the Valley of the End.
• Minamoto returned to Konoha’s Naka Shrine, where Uchiha Fugaku and the clan members were waiting.
• Minamoto asked Fugaku what he thought about the Hokage, and Fugaku reflected on the clan’s uncertain coup plans before saying Minamoto had surpassed ordinary people.

Uchiha Minamoto accepted the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Konoha Military Police Force and rallied the Uchiha by claiming a mysterious Masked Man was linked to Shimura Danzō. He sent the clan members home and went with Uchiha Fugaku to the Hokage Building.

• Uchiha Minamoto told the Uchiha to go home and rest, then asked Uchiha Fugaku to accompany him to the Hokage Building.

After a mysterious masked ninja appeared at Naka Shrine and fought Uchiha Minamoto, Minamoto reported the incident to Hiruzen Sarutobi and identified the attacker’s traits as matching Shimura Danzō. The Hokage and advisors were left confronting the possibility that Danzō was behind the attack.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Hokage Building went on alert after a powerful Lightning Release surge broke through Konoha’s sensory barrier.
• Uchiha Itachi reported that Uchiha Minamoto, now Commander-in-Chief of the Konoha Military Police Force, was waiting to meet the Hokage.
• Uchiha Minamoto entered the office with Uchiha Fugaku and Shisui Uchiha and reported that a Tiger-Patterned Mask ninja had claimed to be Madara Uchiha.
• Uchiha Minamoto said he had verified that the masked attacker was not Madara Uchiha and described the man’s First Hokage-like cellular tissue, use of Izanagi, and transplanted left Sharingan.
• Uchiha Minamoto said those traits matched the missing-nin Shimura Danzō, whom the Konoha Military Police Force had executed publicly, prompting Mitokado Homura to rise in anger.

Uchiha Minamoto presented evidence linking the Masked Man to Shimura Danzō and the Nine-Tails' Attack, then demanded that the Masked Man be declared an S-rank missing-nin and that Konoha investigate the attack. He used his Mangekyō Sharingan to force Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu into silence, while Hiruzen Sarutobi tried to smooth things over.

• Uchiha Minamoto displayed a White Zetsu corpse and explained its resemblance to Hashirama's cells and the Masked Man's abilities.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi realized the Masked Man could have caused the Nine-Tails' Attack, and Uchiha Minamoto demanded a public bounty and a comprehensive investigation.

Uchiha Minamoto exposed Shimura Danzō’s likely role in the Nine-Tails’ Attack, but Hiruzen Sarutobi warned that Kumogakure’s movements made a full investigation dangerous. Back home, Minamoto discovered he had recorded Kamui and the Flying Thunder God Technique, then asked Shamisen what she would think of gaining the ability to teleport to him.

• Uchiha Minamoto argued that Shimura Danzō had blocked the Uchiha Clan from fighting the Nine-Tails and was likely behind the attack’s Masked Man.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed to issue a bounty for the mysterious Masked Man but urged a gradual investigation because Kumogakure appeared to be preparing for war.

• Uchiha Minamoto checked the Great Love Panel and found that it had recorded Obito Uchiha’s SS-rank Kamui and Minato Namikaze’s S-rank Flying Thunder God Technique.
• Uchiha Minamoto asked Shamisen how she would feel about an ability that let her teleport instantly to him, and she suggested the Reverse Summoning Technique.

Uchiha Minamoto considered how to earn enough Great Love Points to develop new techniques, then used the Love Newspaper to reveal the Masked Man as the Nine-Tails' Attack culprit and clear the Uchiha Clan of suspicion. Naruto visited Minamoto at the Military Police Force office, eager to join and learn ninjutsu, and Minamoto offered him a choice of techniques.

• Uchiha Minamoto decided that earning more Great Love Points mattered more than modifying the Flying Thunder God Technique, and wondered whether ending a war could speed up his gains.

• Uchiha Minamoto asked Kurama to reconcile with Naruto, but Kurama initially rejected the idea and said he hated the boy.

After Tsunade left, Hiruzen connected Uchiha Minamoto, the Nine-Tails, and the Hokage succession, and his deductions frightened him.
