• Naruto faced Shinshiki alone, using his Six Paths Ten-Tails powers to withstand the High God’s techniques and destroy his moon-based attack.
• Naruto’s Amaterasu flames infiltrated Shinshiki’s God Tree, and Naruto entered Baryon Mode before killing Shinshiki with a Rasengan infused with Eternal Still Light.
• Ryūshiki rescued Naruto from Baryon Mode’s fatal cost, branded him with a golden dragon-shaped Kāma, and revealed that he had replicated the Divine-Grade Fruit.
