• Shiraha and Kushina arrived in the Land of Iron and were welcomed by Mifune, who told them the Five Kage Summit would begin the next day.

Issei tested how Urashiki Otsutsuki’s cells reacted to Boruto’s, Naruto’s, Sasuke’s, and Shiraha’s blood, then decided to continue research at Orochimaru’s laboratory and help Sasuke grow a new arm. As Issei and Sasuke left Konoha, Delta, Victor, and Amado debated whether to attack them, while the Five Kage Summit began in the original world.

• Issei examined the stored First Hokage Cells and Urashiki Otsutsuki’s tissue, then began testing Urashiki’s cellular activity with Kabuto and Orochimaru.
• Issei added Boruto’s blood to Urashiki’s tissue, causing it to absorb the blood and grow several times larger.
• Kabuto and Orochimaru tested Naruto’s and Sasuke’s blood against separate samples of Urashiki’s tissue; both samples were depleted, though Naruto’s blood reduced cellular activity more sharply.

Issei traveled to the Ruins of Loulan, where Kashin Koji ambushed him and tried to capture him for Kara. After a fierce battle, Issei used Infinite Izanagi to survive Samadhi Fire, sealed Kashin Koji, and carried him through the Dragon Vein back to his main body's world.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru recovered from his battle with Isshiki, mastered the introductory stage of the Companion Serpent Meditation Method, and resolved to repay Shiraha as he set his sights on greater power.
