Rin and the others battled Six Paths Madara in the Alternate Dimension while the Sage of Six Paths explained Madara’s power and the threat of the Infinite Tsukuyomi to Naruto.

• Kaguya recognized something familiar in Shinki's Chakra, but Black Zetsu demanded that she kill him and claim his Chakra.

Shinki fought Kaguya across her dimensions, discovered that she could regenerate and could only be stopped by sealing, and returned to Naruto’s side to seek the Yang Power needed for that seal. The Sage of Six Paths recognized Shinki’s purpose but was unsettled by his questions about absorbing the Sage’s remaining Chakra.

• Shinki severed Kaguya’s arm with the Futsunomitama, and Minato and Tobirama used Flying Thunder God to retrieve the arm containing Black Zetsu.
