• Tobirama, Hiruzen, and Minato launch a coordinated attack on Ye Zhuo. Rasa also tries to trap him with sand, but Ye Zhuo breaks free and retaliates with a storm of sand spears.
• The three Hokage then use the Reaper Death Seal together. The Death God cannot take Ye Zhuo’s soul, reportedly because he is on good terms with Ye Zhuo, and instead claims the three Hokage.

• Rasa briefly believes his sand coffin has trapped Ye Zhuo, only to be seized and attacked in return.
• Hinata survives with Kurenai, both left stunned by the apparent self-destruction of the three Hokage.

Significant themes

• The cost and limits of effort: Guy’s decades of training let him challenge monstrous power, but the price is his life—and even his ultimate attack cannot overcome Ye Zhuo’s advantage.
• Power without fairness: Ye Zhuo’s immense, replicated chakra makes conventional courage, teamwork, and technique nearly useless.
• Futility and despair: Each attempted counterattack ends in defeat, while the Hokage’s forbidden technique backfires.

• Sasuke asks Ye Zhuo to become her teacher. He accepts and rapidly builds her strength: he makes her the Three-Tails’ jinchūriki, trains her in Dragon Cave Sage Mode, and uses an illusion of her painful conflict with Itachi to awaken her Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Ye Zhuo gives Sasuke Itachi’s Mangekyō, the chakra of Asura and Indra, Yin–Yang power, and nine Truth-Seeking Orbs, elevating her to Six Paths-level power. He then connects her to the Demon Tree, making her its jinchūriki and a servant of his will.

• In the Ōtsutsuki Clan’s ancestral gathering, a member’s claim that guardians had turned into Chakra Fruits and vanished is dismissed as absurd. Moments later, Kinshiki, Ryushiki, and another guardian undergo exactly that transformation—and their fruits disappear. The clan cannot trace or stop whoever took them, triggering panic and speculation that the Ōtsutsuki God may be responsible.
• On the moon, Toneri decides to accelerate his plan to destroy the Shinobi World. He intends to take a pure Byakugan from Hagoromo’s descendants to awaken the Tenseigan, dismissing two strange moons he has observed as irrelevant.

Character developments and interactions

• Ye Zhuo grows dramatically more powerful through the Chakra Fruits and remains confident and playful, treating them like sweets. His plan to bring Hinata and Hanabi together adds a personal motive to his mission.
• Toneri is revealed as an imminent threat: he regards the Shinobi World as persistently warlike and sees its destruction as justified. He is determined to obtain the Byakugan needed to awaken his Tenseigan.
• The Ōtsutsuki clan shifts from smug disbelief to genuine fear when its members vanish in the very manner they had mocked. Their usual power over other worlds offers no protection against the unseen attacker.

• Family and protection: Hinata’s defense of Hanabi renews their bond, while Neji’s reaction reflects his concern for them.

Significant themes

• Power and entitlement: Toneri assumes the Tenseigan makes him invincible, but borrowed power cannot overcome Ye Zhuo’s and Sasuke’s greater strength.
• Fate and liberation: Removing Neji’s seal—and the claim that the cycle binding Asura and Indra has been broken—points to freedom from inherited constraints.
