With Obito exposed and surrounded, Sasuke demanded an explanation from Itachi for the Uchiha Clan’s destruction, and Itachi defended his choice as a way to prevent a wider war.

• Sasuke tried to kill Obito for his role in the Uchiha Clan’s extermination, but Nagato’s Deva Path pulled Obito away.

Allen revealed that Black Zetsu planned to revive Kaguya and drain the world’s life energy, then persuaded the Akatsuki Organization to join his effort to kill her. The alliance formed, and Allen advised Obito to recover Kakashi’s Mangekyo Sharingan to avoid arousing Black Zetsu’s suspicion.

• After Nagato and the Akatsuki members left, Allen asked Sasuke whether he still intended to kill Itachi, and Sasuke admitted he was unsure.

• Black Zetsu agreed to help Obito take Kakashi’s eye, and a White Zetsu sacrificed itself to repair Obito’s body.

Obito reclaimed his Sharingan from Kakashi while Allen’s group captured Fū and took the Seven-Tails from Waterfall Ninja Village. The village’s leader let them leave rather than risk Allen destroying the village.

• Obito fought Kakashi, reclaimed his Sharingan, and escaped with Black Zetsu to investigate Nagato’s plans.

Allen and his allies extracted the Seven-Tails from Fū, who survived and was told to leave, while the Tailed Beasts accepted their new situation and began playing cards inside Allen’s seal. Allen planned to capture the One-Tail and another Tailed Beast next, but Fū refused to leave and decided to follow the group.

• Karin and Neji extracted the Seven-Tails from Fū and sealed it inside Allen, where it joined the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Muo.
• Chōmei reacted angrily to being sealed, but Muo and the Four-Tails explained Allen’s overwhelming power, and the three Tailed Beasts began playing cards.
• Fū woke up, discovered the Seven-Tails was gone, and learned from Allen that he had extracted it but spared her life.
• Vilnalasath estimated that Allen could seal five Tailed Beasts besides the Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails, so Allen chose the Sand Ninja and Mist Ninja as his next targets.
• Sasuke claimed the mission to capture Gaara, while Karin mocked him and Neji urged Fū to leave.
• Fū ignored Neji’s warning and declared that she would follow the group, and Allen allowed her to come along.

Sand Village faced Allen’s approach as Jiraiya sought an alliance against him, but Allen’s squad arrived before the village could prepare. Sasuke defeated Gaara and pinned him to a wall, leaving the One-Tail Jinchuriki in their hands.

• Chiyo and Ebizo discussed Konoha’s warning that Allen was heading toward Sand Village, apparently targeting Shukaku, while Jiraiya urged them not to confront him directly.
• Jiraiya proposed an alliance among the remaining great nations to stop Allen and destroy the Sound Ninja Village, and Chiyo agreed on the condition that Shukaku would remain in Sand Village.

• Chiyo deployed the Ten Puppets of Chikamatsu, but Karin’s strength and defenses overwhelmed them.
• Allen explained that Puppet Technique was limited and that Karin’s abilities made her a natural counter to Chiyo.

Allen defeated Chiyo’s puppets and confronted Jiraiya, arguing that the ninja defended the interests of elites while rebels fought for ordinary people. He forced Jiraiya to halt by threatening to drop a nuclear bomb on Konoha, leaving the two sides in a tense standoff.

As Allen headed toward the Land of Water, the Mist Ninja concluded that he was likely coming for the Six-Tails and prepared to submit rather than risk destruction.

• Chiyo and Ebizo recognized that Allen had many weapons powerful enough to destroy the great nations, and Ebizo warned that the ninja world was entering Allen’s era.

• Mei Terumi told the Mist Ninja elders that Allen was probably targeting the Six-Tails, and she recommended accepting his demands because the village could not resist him.

Allen demanded information about Utakata, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, from Mei Terumi and explained his plan to gather the Tailed Beasts and revive the Ten-Tails. Black Zetsu overheard him and decided Allen was the ideal tool for gathering the beasts, while planning to revive Madara Uchiha before the Ten-Tails returned.

• Fū clung to Neji after seeing Sasuke's beating, while Sasuke had to pay for the damaged wall.
• Allen told Mei Terumi he would leave the Mist Ninja alone if they surrendered their Tailed Beast and Jinchuriki, and she gave him a scroll containing information about Utakata.
• Mei Terumi asked Allen why he was collecting Tailed Beasts, and he claimed he wanted to revive the Ten-Tails and study the beasts' bloodline limits.
• Black Zetsu eavesdropped on Allen's explanation, judged him a suitable tool for collecting the Tailed Beasts, and planned to revive Madara Uchiha before the Ten-Tails was revived.

Allen sent Mei Terumi back to inform the Cloud and Konoha of his plan while preparing to capture Utakata, study the tailed beasts, and forge a weapon capable of killing Kaguya. Meanwhile, Akatsuki entered the war by helping resistance forces in the Land of Fire and devastating Konoha’s troops.
