• Obito pondered why Sasuke had sent Minato, Sakura, and Jugo away, then suspected Sasuke planned to extract the Ten-Tails from him.

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’ growth buried the Gate of the Great God, and Hashirama warned the others to leap clear as its body and tails expanded.

• 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 pointed out that Obito’s immortal body no longer allowed him to grow stronger and that his Sharingan abilities had become useless.
