Arc 18Urashiki and the Warfront

- Young Sasuke told Adult Sasuke that Itachi had been tried and executed after Father and Hokage-sama stopped his attack, and Adult Sasuke accepted that Itachi may have received his best ending.
- Adult Sasuke warned that Urashiki was targeting Naruto, so Uchiha Yao brought Naruto together with Gaara, Temari, and Hinata to act as bait and trap Urashiki.
- Uchiha Yao defeated Urashiki, then Adult Sasuke and Boruto visited Mikoto, who recognized Adult Sasuke as her son before he returned to his timeline with Boruto.

- Naruto reconciled with Dark Naruto and met Kushina in his mind, then gained Kurama’s Chakra as Gaara accepted his past and received Shukaku’s Chakra.
- Konoha’s fighters defeated and sealed Hanzo, Pakura, and Gari, while Chiyo attacked the Konoha and Sunagakure forces serving together.
- After Iwagakure and the Hidden Cloud retreated, Fugaku assigned Sasuke to Shunichi’s assault squad, and Shikaku warned the commanders about White Zetsu and Impure World Reincarnation.
- Ōnoki planned assassinations of the Land of Fire’s leaders, prompting Fugaku to form a Hunter Squad, while Orochimaru summoned six coffins and focused on the unrevealed figure in the last one.
