• Madara used Wood Release and fire dragons to set up a surprise attack, then switched places with a Limbo shadow and caught Isshiki with the Naraka Path.
• Madara failed to extract Isshiki's soul, and Isshiki destroyed the King of Hell's Head, saying the Pure Land could not contain a pure Ōtsutsuki's soul.

Genitsu returned Kazue and Izumi to Konoha after discussing Isshiki, the Sage of Six Paths, and the Shinobi World’s future. Isshiki defeated Madara and planned to revive fully and pursue Toneri, while Naruto’s arrival at Sunagakure interrupted the Sand Ninja’s confrontation with Gaara.

He revealed how he had gained his Rinnegan and Tenseigan and declared that he would eliminate the brothers and confront the Ōtsutsuki threat, ending with his Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

In the Pure Land, Genitsu overwhelmed the undead with his Godzilla form and faced the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura’s Amenonuhoko, prompting him to unleash Nuclear Release: Overload Mode.

• Danzo told Orochimaru that Genitsu had a Rinnegan in his left eye and a powerful blue eye in his right, so Orochimaru sealed Danzo in a coffin.
• Orochimaru awakened Madara and agreed to help cultivate a powerful body, while Madara proposed combining Hashirama with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Nagato and the Shinobi World witnessed the Sage of Six Paths use a colossal Planetary Devastation to seal Genitsu in the Pure Land, devastating the Land of Wind. As the Sage worried about Genitsu’s body and Godzilla in the Living World, Kabuto waited in vain for Genitsu to return and began to fear that he had lost.

• Nagato recognized the immense gravitational force tearing apart the Land of Wind as a supercharged Planetary Devastation and briefly saw the Sage of Six Paths directing it in the Pure Land.
