• Shinsei dodged barrages of shuriken and raced through a room full of obstacles to test Thunder God Mode's speed and reaction time.

The clone named himself A Cheng, learned the Visualization Method, and rejected Shinsei’s suggestion that he train using the Eight Gates Released Formation.

• Shinsei inspected his clones and chose the one that had performed best.

• A Cheng awakened the Sharingan, surprising Shien and Giant Beast, and felt his chakra reserves increase.
• Shinsei coordinated a mental network of ninja, who agreed to lend him their mental power and trust his lead.
• Shinsei entered the Ten-Tails’ mental space and rapidly deleted its memories with the group’s support.
• Shinsei explored the dangerous memory region and saw Kaguya meet an ancient emperor who offered her shelter.
• Kaguya accepted the emperor’s offer and followed him.

Shinsei watched Otsutsuki Kaguya's memories reveal her rise, her battles, and her sealing by her sons, then discovered her true will inside the Ten-Tails. He claimed to be her descendant and came to rescue her, but Kaguya sensed the chakra of the sages she hated.

• Shinsei thanked Otsutsuki Kaguya, returned to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and left to prepare a safe place for her.

After Shinsei returned to Konoha, Tsunade ordered everyone who had witnessed his encounter with Otsutsuki Kaguya to sign Sealing Contracts. Meanwhile, Uchiha Itachi infiltrated a cave guarding the Dragon Vein energy, and the White Snake Sages discovered that some of it was missing.

• Tsunade ordered Inoichi Yamanaka to gather everyone in the Mental Network and have them sign Sealing Contracts, threatening deserter status for anyone who refused or left.

• Kaguya agreed to leave with Shinsei and split off part of her power from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Shinsei brought Otsutsuki Kaguya into the world connected by the Dragon Vein, where the Sage of Six Paths confronted them. Kaguya rejected his offer to return or be sealed, saying she would reclaim her chakra to face the Ōtsutsuki Clan, so Hagoromo resolved to seal her again.
