When Naruto and Sasuke left to find Sakura, Minato, Kushina, Hinata, and Jiraiya realized Nagato had separately asked them to keep an eye on Naruto, leaving the cause of the disappearances unresolved.

• Hinata explained that Hidan’s religion had grown into a major church whose followers worshipped Boruto and gained power through Divine Arts.

Naruto learned that Sasori and Deidara's special food could strengthen people, then briefed everyone on Shino and Whirlpool Stark's disappearance, Hidan's preaching, and the Main God's invasion. Sasori revealed that Akatsuki had ground Hidan into minced meat after he passed out during a meeting, leaving Naruto alarmed about Hidan's disappearance.

Naruto realized Boruto, Whirlpool Stark, and Shino had likely used the Dragon Vein and a copy of Shino’s Spring and Autumn Cicada to travel between worlds and cause trouble. He confirmed their involvement in Whirlpool Stark’s laboratory, destroyed the Dragon Vein collection device, and left with a fragment.

• Itachi suspected Boruto had taken the disappeared person and Whirlpool Stark, and Naruto explained that Boruto was his future son from a Parallel World.

• Naruto rushed to Whirlpool Stark’s laboratory, where Tobirama heard him curse the Multiple Shadow Clone before Naruto vanished.
• Naruto found Space-Time Ninjutsu fluctuations and Dragon Vein energy on the collector, smashed the Dragon Vein collection device, and left with a fragment.

• Obito tried to teleport himself and Nagato out, but the technique failed repeatedly, and he realized the insects seemed to have learned Kamui.

Naruto realized the Little Yellow People attached to him carried a dangerous aura of misfortune, so he ordered them to gather and warned the Underground City's residents to avoid them. He told everyone to hug the nearest statue for a minute, just as another golden statue came through a purple Light Gate.

• The Little Yellow People rushed to Naruto, clinging to his arms and legs and calling him their boss.
• Naruto ordered the Little Yellow People to gather around him.
• Naruto broadcast a warning across the Underground City, telling everyone to stay away from the Little Yellow People and hug a statue for the next minute or die.
• A purple Light Gate opened, and another golden statue was thrown out.

Naruto gave the Underground City residents Undying Totems before destroying the Little Yellow People and the surrounding area with his Red Matter Fistswords. The totems revived Jiraiya and left the residents preparing to endure the attack, while Konohamaru rushed to save the Third Hokage.

• The Third Hokage swallowed a bottle of medicine, discarded his Undying Totem, and waited for Naruto's attack to kill him.
• Konohamaru rushed into the Third Hokage's office and threw him an Undying Totem, knocking him unconscious as the dark crimson light entered the room.

Naruto found that the Little Yellow People revived and multiplied after the Red Matter Fistsword killed them, so he tried the Endless Starry Sky and sent Jiraiya away with the Undying Totem. Naruto restarted the Underground City's disaster drill, leaving its people to endure an even more painful purple light.

• Naruto's Red Matter Fistsword killed the Little Yellow People, but they revived within a minute and doubled in number.
