Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki and Hamura Ōtsutsuki agreed to leave the Shinobi World’s crisis to Senya Uchiha, while Senya confined the nine Jinchuriki to Turtle Island for their protection. Naruto protested being kept from the battlefield but reluctantly agreed to stay, and Senya returned to the Five Kage’s conference room.

• Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki reassured Hamura Ōtsutsuki that the Jinchuriki and the reincarnations of Asura and Indra would prevent Black Zetsu from reviving Kaguya, and they decided not to interfere.
• Senya Uchiha told the nine Jinchuriki that they had to remain in Turtle Island’s fortified secret chamber, which had been equipped with entertainment and supplies.
• Naruto demanded to join the battlefield to avenge his parents and keep up with Sasuke, while Fuu encouraged him to accept staying behind for the greater good.
• Yugito Nii questioned whether Naruto was really Senya’s little brother, and Senya’s intimidating tone prompted Naruto to promise to stay obediently.
• Senya told the Five Kage that Killer B was enjoying the dance machine and that Naruto had stopped protesting after some friendly persuasion, making Tsunade laugh.

As the Shinobi Allied Forces advanced toward battle, the Jinchuriki stayed behind and played Ninja Kill, a card game featuring famous shinobi. The game left Roshi and Utakata near death, while Gaara began his turn with a Sasori card.

• Shikamaru Nara reported that the Allied Forces had reached the Land of the Moon and encountered White Zetsu and Impure World Reincarnation ninjas, and Senya ordered the forces to advance faster.

• The players revealed their roles, and Yugimaru reassured Utakata that she would protect him.
• Gaara took his turn as Sasori of the Red Sands and prepared to use the character's puppet and ninjutsu skills.

Han’s Danzo killed Roshi’s Kakuzu during a game of Ninja Kill, but Gaara’s Sasori ultimately won after transforming into a human puppet and defeating Utakata’s Hiruzen. While the others began another game, Naruto came up with an idea and whispered to Killer B.

• Han used Will of the Root to take Roshi’s last card, then equipped Kubikiribōchō and killed Roshi’s Kakuzu.

• Utakata questioned Han’s claim that he was a supporter, but said nothing further as his turn began.
• After more than half an hour, Gaara’s Sasori won by completing Human Puppet Creation, surviving three empty-health judgments, and using Konoha Gatling to defeat Utakata’s Hiruzen.
• Naruto watched the others start another game, then went to Killer B and said he had an idea.

• Gaara warned Naruto not to question the Five Kage’s orders, calling it a grave taboo for shinobi.

Naruto persuaded the other eight Jinchuriki to defy the Five Kage’s order and join the war, arranging safeguards against capture as they escaped Turtle Island. Senya learned Naruto was missing after their decoy clones disappeared, while the nine Jinchuriki were nearing shore.

• Naruto argued that the Jinchuriki could save Allied Shinobi Forces and prevent defeat, and Gaara and the others agreed to go with him.
• Han raised the risk of Obito’s forces capturing them, so Naruto proposed Curse Marks that could destroy their bodies if they were about to be taken.
• Shukaku placed Curse Marks on the nine Jinchuriki, Yugito Nii added Matatabi’s Chakra, and Killer B made tentacle clones as decoys.
• The nine Jinchuriki broke through Turtle Island’s barriers and raced across the sea toward land in tailed beast cloaks.
• After three hours, the tentacle clones dispersed, and Homura Hyuga reported Naruto Uzumaki’s disappearance to Senya and Lord Hokage.

Senya discovered that Killer B had helped Naruto and the other Jinchuriki escape, then learned they were heading for the battlefield. Senya, Tsunade, and A pursued them and caught sight of Naruto as they closed in.

While Senya tested himself against the seven Jinchuriki, Killer B fought A to prove that their bond and strength went beyond the power of the Eight-Tails. A finally understood the words that had made them brothers, and Killer B stood ready to face the war alongside him.

• Yugito Nii, Yugimaru, Roshi, Han, Utakata, Fuu, and Gaara used partial Tailed Beast Transformations to attack Senya, who defended himself with Susanoo’s skeletal frame.
• Killer B fought A using only his own Chakra and swordsmanship as memories showed how A had raised and protected him, then ordered him to stay inside the village after the Third Raikage died.

The Tailed Beast squad fought through enemy forces and reached Nagato’s First Division, where Nagato hoped they could turn the tide against the White Zetsu and Impure World Reincarnation army.

Sasuke and the vanguard faced ten Impure World Reincarnated former Jinchuriki, whose Tailed Beast Bombs devastated the battlefield before they regenerated.

• Obito summoned Madara with Impure World Reincarnation, and Madara complained about being revived that way again.

• Senya and Madara clashed in their giant Susanoo, while the Allied Forces retreated to avoid becoming Senya's burden.
