The Great Toad Sage foresaw that the Demon Child would bring disaster, while Naruto defeated Rin Nohara in a prolonged battle and repeatedly healed her so she could keep fighting. Obito left Konoha in despair, discovered Black Zetsu had tampered with his White Zetsu body and stolen the little acorn, then offered to help Jiraiya attack Konoha.

• Shima sent a toad to strike Obito, but he phased out and reappeared, ready to unleash his suppressed fury.

Obito fought Jiraiya and Mount Myōboku with Dual Kamui, while Kaguya arrived intending to destroy the toads and Naruto prepared to take Obito’s body for Black Zetsu. Jiraiya slaughtered the former Konoha ninja, and Naruto took control of Obito, leaving Black Zetsu poised to inherit his body.

Naruto then had Kurama probe Boruto’s secrets, triggering Boruto’s Karma and awakening a Jōgan as an Ōtsutsuki power drove Kurama from his spiritual world.

• Naruto told Urashiki that he was in a parallel world and mentioned the God of Ōtsutsuki, then grabbed Urashiki and suppressed his power.

Meanwhile, several other developments unfolded across the Ninja World, including a request to take Naruto to Shikkotsu Forest and disturbances in the Demon Realm.
