• Sakura entered Sage Magnet Release: Strength of a Hundred Technique with Jugo’s help and drew the scattered Tailed Beast chakra into six miniature forms.

Sasuke and his allies kept Obito trapped while Obito concluded that Sasuke wanted the Ten-Tails’ power. Sasuke attacked Obito with his hidden Rinnegan technique, but Obito’s fall toward the sealing gates left Sasuke alarmed.

• Obito pondered why Sasuke had sent Minato, Sakura, and Jugo away, then suspected Sasuke planned to extract the Ten-Tails from him.
• Obito watched Shikaku and inferred that Sasuke was seeking the Ten-Tails’ power; Shikaku and Suigetsu discussed Obito’s interest in his intelligence.

• Sasuke used Adaptive Modification to unfurl wings, flew at Obito, and cut him in half with his Rinnegan technique and black blade.
• Obito taunted Sasuke about the limits of his newly awakened Rinnegan, then plunged toward the Gates of the Great God as Sasuke looked back in alarm.

Sasuke brought Sakura, Jugo, Itachi, and Kisame back to the battlefield, while Obito used the opening to absorb a Ten-Tails tail and heal himself.

• Obito turned his Truth-Seeking Orb into a spinning spike that began destroying the Gate of the Great God, while Suigetsu escaped its attack.

Obito regenerated and grew stronger despite losing most of his connection to the Ten-Tails, but Sasuke and the others began their plan to extract the beast. Sasuke used the Outer Path: Statue Chains to bind the miniature Tailed Beasts, the Eight-Tails, and the Yin Release Nine-Tails, leaving Obito to realize they intended to claim the Ten-Tails’ power.

Obito tried to sacrifice Minato and Yin Kurama while the Susanoo Demonic Statue absorbed the Eight-Tails, but Sasuke's newly awakened left-eye Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan used Kabuto's Blade Reversal to save Minato. Sasuke and Orochimaru identified the eye's ability as Yamato Takeru, which could commandeer another person's dōjutsu at a cost to them.

• Obito redirected ten Truth-Seeking Orb shuriken toward Yin Kurama, then ambushed Minato with two more orbs as the Demonic Statue absorbed the Eight-Tails' chakra.
• Obito destroyed Yin Kurama's chakra body, broke Minato's arm, and pinned him with Truth-Seeking Orbs before preparing to annihilate him and the Kurama inside him.
• Itachi and Sasuke pinned the ten shuriken with Yasaka Magatama and Heavenly Kaguya Arrow, but Obito compressed the orbs inside Minato into deadly cores.

• Sasuke asked Orochimaru to restore Minato's soul, and they concluded that Sasuke's left-eye dōjutsu had commandeered Kabuto's technique at a cost to Kabuto.
• Sasuke recognized the name of his new dōjutsu as Yamato Takeru.

Orochimaru, Sasuke, and Minato thwarted Obito’s attempt to attack the split soul, and Minato’s restored soul powered Sasuke’s Susanoo–Demonic Statue transformation. The Ten-Tails then began turning into the God Tree ahead of schedule, and Obito took the crisis as a sign that the Infinite Tsukuyomi would succeed.

• Orochimaru summoned a strange deity while Sasuke opened a space-time door, allowing the Shinigami to block Obito’s strike at Minato’s soul.

The Ten-Tails evolved into the God Tree, and Obito began preparing to activate Infinite Tsukuyomi while fearing Sasuke’s power. A voice identified itself as Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and urged Obito to absorb the God Tree.

• The Ten-Tails’ growth buried the Gate of the Great God, and Hashirama warned the others to leap clear as its body and tails expanded.
• The Ten-Tails became the God Tree, while Kabuto tried to attack its trunk and Itachi protected him by cutting through a wooden dragon branch with Susanoo’s Totsuka Blade.
• Obito said the God Tree needed about fifteen minutes to absorb enough natural energy for its flower to bloom and activate Infinite Tsukuyomi.
• Obito worried Sasuke could kill him instantly, and a voice in his mind urged him to absorb the God Tree to become immortal.
• The voice revealed that its name was Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the origin of All Creation.

Obito resisted the truth about Kaguya and moved to absorb the God Tree while Sasuke’s Rinnegan reacted to the Ten-Tails’ eye. Itachi and Kabuto severed the God Tree at its roots, and Sasuke sent Orochimaru to help Itachi and secure his Rinnegan.

• Obito dismissed the warning that Black Zetsu was Kaguya’s will and flew toward the God Tree to absorb it.
• Sasuke felt pain as the Susanoo-form Ten-Tails’ Rinne Sharingan began connecting with his Rinnegan, while Orochimaru noticed Itachi’s worsening condition.

• Kabuto used Sage Art: White Rage Technique to distract Obito, then unleashed Blade Reversal and severed the God Tree at its roots.
• Sasuke told Orochimaru to go to Itachi and help him, saying he was counting on Orochimaru to obtain Itachi’s Rinnegan.

Obito absorbed the God Tree and gained an immortal body, then raced to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi despite Sasuke’s warning that he could still be sealed. Sasuke let him proceed, intending to intervene in the Eye of the Moon and expose the past life’s chain of cause and effect.

• Obito absorbed the falling God Tree, restored his Truth-Seeking Orbs, and declared that he had become immortal.
• Sasuke pointed out that Obito’s immortal body no longer allowed him to grow stronger and that his Sharingan abilities had become useless.
• Obito prepared to kill Itachi, but Kaguya warned him that Sasuke possessed Hagoromo’s sealing powers, so he flew toward the blood moon to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
• Hashirama tried to stop Obito, but the Susanoo-Tails’ Eye Chamber repelled him with an invisible shock wave.
• Sasuke explained that he would let the Infinite Tsukuyomi proceed to protect Itachi, observe Black Zetsu, and reveal the previous life’s chain of cause and effect before intervening in the Eye of the Moon.
