• Haruma named the second task: making money.

Haruma outlined his immediate priorities for saving the Uchiha Clan: restore Shisui’s eyes, raise money, curb the clan’s radicals, and remove Uchiha members from the Konoha Military Police Force.

• Haruma warned Shisui to keep his identity hidden and avoid Danzo, who could survive death with the Uchiha forbidden technique Izanagi.

• Haruma told Shisui that Danzo had used Hashirama cells and Izanagi, and was likely to come for the Sharingan that night.

• Haruma explained to Shisui that Danzo’s ambition and desire for Sharingan fueled his eagerness to eliminate the Uchiha Clan.

• Haruma introduced himself as Obito Uchiha, claimed to represent Akatsuki, and handed Danzo a scroll containing a Two-Tomoe Sharingan.
• Danzo rejected the Two-Tomoe eye and demanded a Three-Tomoe Sharingan or a Mangekyō.

Haruma completed a bundled Sharingan sale with Danzo and hinted that he knew the location of one Mangekyō. Danzo let him leave, then ordered Root to investigate Haruma and verify the information he had shared.

• Haruma insisted that Danzo buy Two Tomoe and Mitsudomoe Sharingan as a set, and Danzo agreed to buy them every two days.
• Danzo ordered Ryoma to pay Haruma, but Root ninja surrounded Haruma as he prepared to leave.
• Haruma told Danzo he had information on one Mangekyō, but it was not Fugaku's eye.

• Danzo returned to the Root Base, fixating on Haruma's hint about a Mangekyō.

Haruma explained to Fugaku, Mikoto, and Shisui that Danzo could be manipulated into conflict with Sarutobi, then warned them about the Akatsuki and Madara Uchiha. The discussion ended with Shisui asking if Haruma was having an episode, provoking Haruma's furious denial.

Haruma told Fugaku, Mikoto, and Shisui that the man claiming to be Madara was Obito, then left them to discuss his scheme. Fugaku explained that Haruma had baited Danzo into investigating Akatsuki and Shisui, leaving Danzo under pressure to kill Shisui before he could expose the truth about Danzo’s stolen eye.

• Haruma revealed that Obito was operating under Madara’s name and had caused Konoha’s Nine-Tails’ Attack, then went to bed without answering the group’s questions.
• Shisui asked Fugaku why Haruma had impersonated Obito and given Danzo information about Akatsuki, since Root investigators sent to the Land of Rain might die.
• Fugaku explained that Root casualties would make Danzo recruit from the village’s clans or Anbu, worsening his conflict with the Third Hokage.
• Fugaku said Haruma’s hint about another Mangekyō was meant to make Danzo suspect Shisui was still alive and investigate him.
• Fugaku explained that Shisui could expose Danzo’s stolen Mangekyō and modified arm, so Danzo would have to kill him before the truth spread.

Fugaku and Mikoto considered the danger Danzo posed to Konoha’s clans and returned home, where Itachi arrived after accepting the Third Hokage’s order to spy on the Uchiha. Fugaku warned Mikoto not to reveal what they knew, then explained why the future massacre had unfolded as it did.

• Mikoto and Shisui concluded that the village’s clans would oppose Danzo becoming Hokage if he could not clear himself of suspicion.
• Fugaku worried about Madara, Obito’s attack on Konoha, Kakashi’s eye, and the meaning of a “warrior of pure love.”
• Itachi returned home after accepting the Third Hokage’s secret order to monitor the Uchiha, especially his father, and noticed his parents seemed unusual.
• Fugaku told Mikoto to hide what they knew from Itachi because he was acting as the Third’s informant and Haruma had not yet given permission to tell him the truth.
• Fugaku explained that Haruma’s intervention had revealed the growing Uchiha conflict and Itachi’s role as a double agent, while Danzo and the Third would likely have watched the clan compound during the massacre.

• Fugaku told Mikoto that resisting the massacre might have endangered Itachi and Sasuke, and Mikoto comforted him by reminding him they had Haruma.

• Haruma said the higher-ups’ suspicions about the unemployed Uchiha were manageable and decided to tell Itachi part of the truth.

Haruma told Fugaku to wait for Shisui’s return before using him to approach Itachi, then assigned Fugaku to secretly locate Orochimaru and Danzo’s underground laboratories. Meanwhile, Shisui carried out Haruma’s “rob the rich to help the poor” mission outside Konoha, where he confronted a merchant under the name Madara Uchiha.

• Haruma warned Fugaku that Itachi might betray them and said Shisui would be better suited to persuade him when he returned from his mission.
• Haruma instructed Fugaku to search secretly for underground human experimentation laboratories near Konoha, without exposing them or letting Orochimaru or the Anbu discover him.
• Shisui confronted the merchant Kozuki Unma in a settlement outside Konoha, accusing him of exploiting nearby villages with hired ninja.
• Shisui introduced himself to Unma as Madara Uchiha and declared that he had come to carry out heaven’s justice.

Madara Uchiha robbed Kozuki Unma, while Hiruzen Sarutobi investigated Fugaku’s reforms and the Uchiha clan’s finances. Shisui returned from a month of missions with a haul of money, but Haruma insisted he continue robbing crooked merchants.

• Shisui dodged Akun’s attack, killed him, and forced Kozuki Unma to ask what Madara Uchiha wanted; Madara left with a large haul.
• Itachi told Hiruzen Sarutobi that Fugaku had removed Uchiha members from their posts, restricted their movements, and forbidden them from joining Setsuna’s faction activities.
• Itachi reported that he could not trace Fugaku’s money, but had found Setsuna secretly funding purchases of paper for Explosive Tags.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi told Itachi to remain undercover and investigate how Fugaku’s funds were being used.
• Shisui returned to the recuperation area with money and his disguise, but Haruma berated him for resisting more missions to rob crooked merchants.

Haruma persuaded Shisui to expand his robberies across the shinobi world while pretending to be Madara Uchiha, leaving Shisui dazed by the supposed mission to save civilians. Later, Fugaku brought Itachi home to reveal that Shisui was alive, and Itachi was stunned to see his former best friend.

• Haruma convinced Shisui that he should rob wealthy merchants throughout the shinobi world and evade recognition by claiming to be Madara Uchiha.
• Fugaku found Shisui looking dispirited, and Shisui tried to nominate Fugaku as a stronger candidate for saving the shinobi world.
• Fugaku and Shisui discussed Itachi's situation, then Shisui followed Fugaku home while concealed.
• Fugaku told Itachi that he wanted to speak with him, and Itachi entered the inner room to find Shisui waiting there.
• Itachi recognized Shisui as his physically present former best friend, and Fugaku invited them to sit and talk.

Haruma spent his three hundred million earnings on a tailed beast, a powerful space-time technique, a sealing method, and ninja tools. With One-Tail supplying chakra and his purchases made, he was left nearly broke but better equipped to grow stronger.

• Haruma reviewed his strength and decided to prioritize his low chakra reserves over upgrading his eyes.
• Haruma bought One-Tail and bound it to himself, gaining a vast flow of chakra; inside his consciousness, One-Tail appeared obedient and began refining chakra at his command.
• Haruma bought the Flying Thunder God Technique from the store.
• Haruma bought Rotation: Binding Method to conceal his chakra fluctuations and reduce the chance that others would discover One-Tail inside him.
• Haruma spent most of his remaining funds on ninja tools, leaving himself with only a four-digit balance.
