• The Second Mizukage and Third Kazekage arrived through Impure World Reincarnation, and the Five Kage soon appeared on the Fourth Kazekage’s Gold Dust cloud.
• The Five Kage confronted the revived figures, while the Fourth Raikage recognized his village’s Anbu Minister and faced his father, the Third Raikage.

The Sino-Japanese Alliance survived Xu Yue’s Chibaku Tensei and prepared to retreat, but Kabuto revealed a new trump card as reinforcements arrived for both sides.

• Zaizhen ordered intelligence couriers to spread the revelation, and the Japanese Reincarnators reacted with shock over Lord Xue’s efforts to please Xu Yue.

Xu Yue defeated Madara Uchiha and the First Hokage, but Kabuto’s delay allowed Nagato to arrive as the Ten-Tails’ Jinchuriki and challenge him. The chapter ended with Xu Yue revealing that he also had a Rinnegan and rising into the air in a form like Nagato’s.
