Team 7 passed Yun’s test and set out to celebrate, while Sasuke began to come to terms with his bonds and responsibilities.

• Itachi declined breakfast and left, telling Sasuke he could come to him if he changed his mind.

Yun explained that Sasuke might need Asura Chakra to develop the power to preserve his eyesight, while Naruto and Hinata’s encounter with the Nine Tails turned breakfast into a brief scuffle. Later, Kakashi tested Sakura, Torune, and Sai for teamwork, quickly trapping Sakura as Sai and Torune pursued the bells separately.

• Mini Nine Tails rushed to Naruto's table and asked whether its other half had been beaten until it defecated.

At a graduation celebration, Naruto’s Nine Tails beat up its drunken counterpart before Yun subdued it, while Karin’s story about seeing Sasuke revealed a mysterious second Sasuke. Yun and Minato concluded that the second Sasuke might have come from a reflected world connected to Yun’s illusion, as Akatsuki’s growing attacks and the villages’ suspicions of Konoha added pressure.

As Danzo renewed his ambitions and Hiruzen warned him to leave Sasuke and Izumi alone, Sasuke struggled to decide whom to trust, and Yun watched over the altered world.

• Yun opened the Limited Tsukuyomi world within his Six-Tomoe Rinnegan, and Sasuke woke in the empty Uchiha Compound with memories that were not his own.
• Kakashi found Sasuke unconscious and reported his return to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who decided to wait until Sasuke woke before questioning him.
