After Danzo’s crimes were uncovered, Hiruzen ordered the Shimura Clan’s assets confiscated, and Tsunade became the Fifth Hokage. Tsunade then proposed that Uchiha Xin marry Hinata, and Xin affirmed his desire to marry her before the Hyuga Clan’s leaders.

• Tsunade became Hokage, reduced the advisers’ authority, and formally proposed to the Hyuga Clan that Hinata marry Uchiha Xin.
• At a meeting with the Hyuga Clan’s head and elders, Xin firmly said that he wanted to marry Hinata.

Xin countered the Hyuga elders’ rejection of his marriage to Hinata by revealing that the Uchiha and Hyuga shared a common ancestor. After the first elder confirmed the ancient tablet’s account, the second elder still rejected the match because Xin was the last Uchiha.

• The second elder angrily rejected Xin’s proposal to marry Hinata, and Xin revealed that the Uchiha and Hyuga shared a common ancestor.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi vouched for Xin’s claim, and Tsunade summoned the stone tablet Xin had found in an ancient ruin.
• The first elder examined the tablet with his Byakugan and read that Hagoromo Otsutsuki was the ancestor of the Uchiha and Senju, while Hamura Otsutsuki was the ancestor of the Hyuga.
• The first elder confirmed that Hyuga oral tradition named Hamura Otsutsuki as their ancestor, stunning Hiashi and the other Hyuga present.
• The second elder dismissed the shared ancestry as irrelevant and insisted that Xin could not marry Hinata because he was the last Uchiha.

Xin revealed that the Byakugan could evolve into the Tenseigan, a Dōjutsu rivaling the Rinnegan, and used the secret to secure the Hyuga Clan’s approval to marry Hinata. The head elder agreed on the condition that Xin awaken the Tenseigan in Hanabi.

• Xin suggested that the Byakugan had an advanced form and hinted that he knew about another Byakugan family on the moon.
• Xin announced that the Byakugan could evolve into the Tenseigan, which could control attraction and repulsion and wield power capable of destroying stars.
• The Hyuga elders eagerly asked Xin whether he knew how to awaken the Tenseigan, and Xin confirmed that he did.
• The head elder formally approved Xin’s marriage to Hinata but demanded that he awaken the Tenseigan in Hanabi.
• Hiashi reflected that the elders had given up on Hinata and chosen Hanabi as the clan’s heir, sparing Hanabi from the Caged Bird Seal.

Uchiha Xin rejected the Hyuga elders’ demand that he help Hanabi, but agreed to let any child of his and Hinata who awakened the Byakugan be raised by the Hyuga Main Family. The two clans arranged an engagement, and Xin later confirmed the news to Naruto, Shikamaru, and Choji.

• Xin refused to help Hanabi and agreed to the head elder’s condition that a Byakugan-awakened child of his and Hinata would belong to the Hyuga Main Family.
• Tsunade decided that Xin and Hinata would become engaged first because they were too young to marry, and the Hyuga elders eagerly discussed the arrangements.

• The Third Hokage and Tsunade welcomed the marriage alliance, and Xin reflected that strength had earned him respect and concessions.
• At the ramen shop, Xin confirmed to Naruto, Shikamaru, and Choji that his engagement to Hinata would take place in a few days, shocking Naruto.

Xin worried that he could not make Hinata awaken the Tenseigan as the Hyuga Clan demanded, then learned from his reactivated system that he could eventually grant her the power safely. The system said Xin needed to evolve his Sharingan into the Rinnegan and later the Tenseigan, leaving him with a clear path to fulfill the clan’s condition.

• Xin considered taking Hinata to the moon to absorb the Giant Tenseigan, but the system warned that she would likely explode and die.
• The system explained that it had been dormant because carrying Xin across space and time had drained its core power.
• Xin asked about new system functions, and the system clarified that it only supported Sharingan evolution and could slot certain skills when the Sharingan leveled up.
• The system advised Xin to raise the Limit Sharingan to level 6, where it would evolve into the Rinnegan and grant him the ability to subdue familiars.
• The system explained that Xin could give a familiar abilities he possessed, eventually letting him bestow the Tenseigan’s power safely upon Hinata.

Uchiha Xin's Limit Sharingan reached level 6 and evolved into the Rinnegan, granting him expanded retainer and skill capacity. The system warned that advancing further would be far harder because Xin's chakra reserves could not support large numbers of clones using advanced Sharingan.

• Xin resolved to train and build proficiency while the recent battles and crises had kept him from using shadow clones to grind efficiently.
• On the day before his engagement, Xin reached one million proficiency points and evolved his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan into the Rinnegan.
• The system revealed that the Rinnegan was only the beginning of the Limit Sharingan's evolution, but it could not predict Xin's next form.
• The system explained that shadow clones using the Three-Tomoe Sharingan would gain only two or three proficiency points per day.
• Xin realized that his ordinary Kage-level chakra reserves could not sustain many shadow clones using the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan or Rinnegan.

Xin learned that devouring high-quality eyes could rapidly advance his Rinnegan, but he decided not to risk confronting Kaguya with his limited stamina. The next morning, he attended his lavish formal engagement ceremony with Hinata, where the Hyuga Clan used the gathering to publicly bind him to their family.

• Xin learned from the system that devouring special eyes and ocular power could greatly increase his limit Sharingan proficiency, and that several pairs of high-quality Rinnegan could let him advance directly.
• Xin considered seeking Kaguya on the moon, but decided he was not strong enough to risk confronting her while his Rinnegan chakra mode lasted only three minutes.
• Xin decided that Otsutsuki Toneri could be a future target instead, then prepared for his engagement to Hinata the following morning.
• Xin arrived at the Hyuga Clan's grand engagement venue, where the daimyo's senior minister, prominent Konoha clan heads, nobles, and merchants had gathered.
• Hyuga Hiashi guided Xin around the guests as they congratulated him and Hinata, while the Hyuga Clan used the public ceremony to secure Xin's ties to their family.

At his engagement banquet, Uchiha Xin reunited with Kazahana Koyuki, who had come to Konoha to negotiate a Chakra Armor deal, and later received orders to escort her home. As their convoy reached the Land of Snow, Hiruko and three other strangers blocked the road.

• Tsunade told Xin that Koyuki had come to negotiate a Chakra Armor deal and warned him that Jiraiya and the Great Toad Sage had confirmed the threat described on the stone tablet about Akatsuki and Otsutsuki Kaguya.
• Xin endured the engagement banquet until the guests left, then learned that Konoha and the Land of Snow had finalized their Chakra Armor agreement.
• Tsunade assigned Xin to escort Koyuki back to the Land of Snow, and he traveled with her for half a month.
• As the convoy neared the Land of Snow’s capital, Hiruko and three companions blocked the road, and Xin stepped out to confront them while protecting Koyuki.

Hiruko targeted Uchiha Xin to steal his Sharingan and perfect the Chimera Technique, but Xin routed Hiruko’s subordinates with Amaterasu and Kirin. Hiruko acknowledged Xin’s strength but remained determined to fight him.

• Hiruko revealed that he wanted Xin’s body and Sharingan, and Xin suspected Orochimaru had directed him to attack.
• Xin created a shadow clone to escort Kazahana Koyuki toward the Land of Snow’s capital while Hiruko kept his three subordinates in place.
• One attacked Xin with a monstrous bird and a two-headed snake, but Xin burned them with Amaterasu, leaving Two with a severed arm.
• Three fused with a vicious dog using the Chimera Technique, but Xin destroyed her and the remaining attackers with Lightning Release: Kirin.
• Xin taunted Hiruko, who suppressed his shock, admitted Xin exceeded his expectations, and began surging with chakra.

Xin overwhelmed Hiruko’s Chimera Technique with his Rinnegan and lightning, but Hiruko swallowed a strange lump of flesh and transformed, reaching the Super Kage Realm. Xin suspected Hiruko had fused five Kekkei Genkai and that the flesh was connected to the First Hokage; the chapter ended as Hiruko’s transformation intensified.

• Hiruko summoned a Chimera, but Xin blasted it away with Almighty Push and destroyed it with Kamui.
• Hiruko recognized Xin’s Rinnegan and attacked, but Xin repelled him, pulled him close, and pinned him to a tree with a lightning spear.
• Hiruko unleashed a storm technique, but Xin’s Black Kirin destroyed the thundercloud and cleared the sky.
• Hiruko swallowed a strange lump of flesh, neutralized the lightning spear, and surged from Kage Level into the Super Kage Realm.
• Xin suspected Hiruko had fused five Kekkei Genkai and that the flesh was connected to the First Hokage as Hiruko’s body continued to transform.

Hiruko boasted about his supposed mastery of Hashirama’s cells and attacked Uchiha Xin, but Xin destroyed him with the Rinnegan’s Almighty Push. Kabuto Yakushi witnessed the devastation and left with a new fear of Xin’s strength.

• Hiruko claimed that Orochimaru had fused him with the First Hokage’s cells and declared that Wood Release would defeat Uchiha Xin.
• Hiruko attacked Xin with Wood Release: Great Forest Technique, but Xin burned the wooden vines and forced Hiruko to dodge his Great Fireball.
• Hiruko unleashed Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence, filling the snowfield with trees and vines.
• Xin used Almighty Push to pulverize the forest and surrounding terrain, leaving Hiruko gravely injured in a vast crater.
• Xin discovered that Hiruko’s body was breaking down from the Hashirama Cells’ backlash, and Hiruko died before he could finish speaking.
• Kabuto Yakushi emerged from hiding, saw the crater, and trembled as he realized how powerful Xin was.

After defeating Hiruko, Xin made Kazahana Koyuki his first familiar and granted her the Eight Gates Released Formation, giving her elite jōnin-level chakra and a powerful shadow-clone guard. The next morning, Xin sensed that the special shadow clone he had left in Konoha had developed full tailed-beast-level chakra.

• Kabuto Yakushi collected tissue and combat data from Hiruko's corpse before leaving the crater.
• Xin returned to Kazahana Koyuki and reassured her that he had defeated Hiruko without trouble.
• At the daimyo's residence, Xin asked Koyuki whether she wanted to become a ninja, and she agreed because she feared for her safety.
• Xin made Koyuki his familiar and granted her the level 4 Eight Gates Released Formation, which gave her chakra powerful enough to create a Kage-level shadow clone.
• The next morning, Xin sensed that his special shadow clone in Konoha was emitting full tailed-beast-level chakra and could maintain ninety-five percent of his original combat strength.

Xin discovered that Shukaku’s origin chakra had evolved into a true, unconscious Tailed Beast, but the system warned that he could not create the Ten-Tails. After returning to Konoha, Xin told Tsunade and Jiraiya that he wanted to speak with the Nine-Tails inside Naruto, then claimed his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan could suppress it.

• Xin learned from the system that the Shukaku chakra in his special Shadow Clone had become a true Tailed Beast and could theoretically be sealed into someone as a Jinchūriki.
• Xin abandoned his plan to create the Ten-Tails after the system explained that the chakra aggregate could not surpass Shukaku’s level or be fused into the Ten-Tails.
• Xin stayed at the Land of Snow daimyo’s residence, taught Kazahana Koyuki to control the special Shadow Clone, and returned to Konoha using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
• Xin told Tsunade and Jiraiya that he wanted to speak with the Nine-Tails inside Naruto, alarming both of them.
• Xin activated his Sharingan and assured Tsunade and Jiraiya that his mastery of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan would let him suppress the Nine-Tails.

Uchiha Xin brought Naruto into a secluded valley to confront the Nine-Tails, after proving to Tsunade and Jiraiya that his genjutsu could overpower them. Xin entered Naruto’s sealed mind and drew the Nine-Tails into a spiritual space, where the beast attacked him.

• Tsunade challenged Jiraiya’s objections and demanded that Xin guarantee he could control the danger to Konoha.
• Xin used Tsukuyomi: Illusion World on Tsunade and Jiraiya, convincing them of his power, and Tsunade deployed Anbu to secure the valley.
• Xin brought Naruto to the valley, put him to sleep, and entered the sealed space inside him.
• The Nine-Tails recognized Xin’s Sharingan, raged against the iron gate, and threatened to escape and destroy Konoha.
• Xin pulled the Nine-Tails into a spiritual space, and the beast celebrated its apparent freedom before attacking Xin.
• Xin formed hand seals and unleashed Lightning Release: Black Dragon at the charging Nine-Tails.

Uchiha Xin defeated the Nine-Tails in the sealed space and forced him to submit. The Nine-Tails agreed to cooperate with Naruto in exchange for Xin returning his freedom in five years.

• The Nine-Tails fired a Tailed Beast Bomb at Xin, who used Kamui to send it back and blast the Nine-Tails.
• Xin overwhelmed the Nine-Tails with Eight Gates punches, then used the Wood Dragon and Wood Golem to restrain him.
• The Nine-Tails struggled against Xin’s Wood Release, but Xin pinned him down with the Gate of the Great God.
• Xin revealed the Rinnegan and called the Nine-Tails by his true name, Kurama, breaking his resistance.
• Xin ordered Kurama to cooperate with Naruto and lend him power, promising to restore Kurama’s freedom in five years.
• Kurama accepted Xin’s terms and agreed to cooperate with Naruto.

Xin stabilized the Nine-Tails’ chakra inside Naruto, then set out to absorb the Dragon Vein at Rōran to awaken his own senjutsu. The Dragon Vein’s space-time laws disrupted the system’s absorption, leaving Xin in a dangerous, chaotic space.

• Xin branded the Nine-Tails with his ocular power, and Jiraiya confirmed that its chakra had become docile and Naruto’s chakra flow was stable.
• Three days later, Naruto and Jiraiya left Konoha for training while Xin resolved to seek a faster way to obtain senjutsu.

• Xin removed Minato Namikaze’s Flying Thunder God Kunai from the sealing platform and began absorbing the Dragon Vein, but the system warned that space-time laws had disrupted the process and ordered him to evacuate.

Xin was swept through space-time and arrived in the Ancient Kingdom of Roran, where he confronted Queen Sara while searching for Mukade. After Xin destroyed her puppet guards and demanded to know where Mukade was, Minato Namikaze appeared beside them.

• The Dragon Vein pulled Xin into a spatial rift, and he landed in an unfamiliar town.
• Xin recognized the town as the Ancient Kingdom of Roran and decided to reach the Dragon Vein beneath its central tower to awaken the dormant system.

• Sara ordered her puppet guards to seize Xin, but he destroyed them with lightning.
• Xin seized Sara and demanded to know where Mukade was, and Minato Namikaze appeared beside them.
