Orochimaru’s attempt to seize divine techniques revealed that Otsutsuki Shibai was tied to the Overlord of Fear, which then invaded the Shinobi World. Shinji’s Bulwark Plan slowed the invasion, but the fall of three key nodes let the Overlord’s power flood in as Shinji faced Otsutsuki Shibai.

• Orochimaru ambushed Owl’s convoy with Sasuke and Naruto, but after taking the White Zetsu heart and absorbing several divine arts, he was split open and Otsutsuki Shibai emerged from his body.
• Otsutsuki Shibai claimed he had used the Fuma Ichiro identity to make Orochimaru gather shinjutsu, but Ada revealed that he was a consciousness born from divine arts, and the Overlord of Fear emerged from within him.
• The Overlord possessed powerful shinobi and activated Infinite Tsukuyomi, while Tsunade and Amado’s team deployed the Bulwark Plan to block its power through nine key nodes.
• Shinji fought the empowered Otsutsuki Shibai as allies defended the nodes, but the moon shattered and the Infinite Tsukuyomi faded, spreading fear across the Shinobi World.
• The controlled Fourth Raikage, Mei Terumi’s forces, and Kabuto overwhelmed defenders at Nodes 8, 6, and 5, destroying the barrier and letting the Overlord’s power pour into the world.
• Shinobi and Research Institute teams installed replacement reinforcement spikes across multiple countries as Otsutsuki Shibai claimed the world would collapse within half a day.
• Otsutsuki Shibai attacked Shinji at the Divine Tree, but Shinji noticed his power had stopped growing and struck him with Tamatsukuri Spear, sharply weakening him.
• Karin appeared in a burst of smoke, and Otsutsuki Shibai refused to believe she was not Shinji Uchiha.
