Arc 2The Uchiha Return
Uchiha Gen'yō defeated Konoha’s pursuing army, forced Iwagakure into an alliance, and faced a betrayal by its elders and a declaration of war from Kumogakure. He arrived at the border with a World Tree seed and advanced alone toward the approaching army.
- Gen'yō used the cursed seal to assault Danzo’s soul from afar, then restored his strength with a potion and secured Ōnoki’s blood pact by showing him New Uchiha.
- Hiruzen led Konoha’s elite against the Uchiha, but Fugaku and Shisui fought back before Gen'yō defeated the army with Kamui and Susanoo, leaving survivors to spread word of the Uchiha’s return.
- Gen'yō brought the Uchiha to the Land of Earth and sent Itachi, Izumi, and Hikari to defeat Iwagakure’s Explosion Corps as a test of the alliance.
- Kitsuchi revealed that Iwagakure’s elders had offered Kumogakure one hundred Sharingan to join an attack on the Uchiha, so Gen'yō confronted the elders and Darui.
- Gen'yō crippled Darui and summoned Perfect Susanoo and a giant Buddha statue, forcing the elders to submit and Ōnoki to accept Gen'yō’s authority over Iwagakure’s council.
- Gen'yō acquired a World Tree seed to address the Land of Earth’s barren soil, but the Fourth Raikage crossed the border with three thousand troops and declared war.
- At the Rock of Lamentation, Gen'yō activated Clan Farming Mode, opened its pioneering gift pack, ordered his allies to retreat, and walked alone toward the Kumogakure army with the seed.
