• Mu led Naruto to a forest clearing where a towering, immortal tree stood at the heart of the Natural Energy Node created by Senju Hashirama.

Isshiki used the God Tree to drain Naruto and Sasuke, but Sasuke sent it into another space while Naruto kept Isshiki busy. Isshiki absorbed the tree’s stored energy, transformed into his complete Ōtsutsuki form, and trapped the exhausted heroes beneath a new forest of roots, leaving Mu to suggest surrender as their only chance to survive.

Obito used the pseudo-Ten-Tails and his Kamui to battle Isshiki, then sacrificed his life to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. After Isshiki shattered Obito’s Kamui Dimension, Obito activated Izanami to trap him in an endless loop, leaving both facing mutual destruction.

• Obito activated Izanami, intending to trap Isshiki in a repeating loop until he accepted defeat.

The Nine-Tails split into nine and blasted Isshiki, but the God Tree kept him alive and regenerated after being destroyed. With Naruto nearly out of chakra, the Nine-Tails proposed sacrificing itself to destroy the God Tree’s core, leaving Naruto to reject the plan.

• Mu explained that Isshiki could regenerate as long as the God Tree remained alive, and that destroying the tree was another way to stop him.
• The Nine-Tails split into nine and attacked Isshiki with Tailed Beast Bombs, leaving him badly injured but still alive because the God Tree continued to supply him energy.
• Isshiki transferred his consciousness into the God Tree and used its branches to trap the nine Nine-Tails and drain their chakra.
• The Nine-Tails detonated nine Tailed Beast Bombs inside their mouths, blasting the God Tree apart, but its remains quickly reassembled.
• The Nine-Tails told Naruto that releasing all its chakra could destroy the God Tree’s core but would make it disappear permanently, and Naruto refused to accept its sacrifice.
