Dio discovered that the Saint's Corpse had brought Lin Qing and the JOJO System into existence through a closed loop of spacetime, then sent an undead army into the shinobi world to provoke Lin Qing into appearing. As the invasion approached, Madara met an adult Sasuke from another world, and Sasuke and Naruto arrived with shinobi from both worlds to confront the threat.
