Chapter Summary: “Fleeing with Itachi”

Key Plot Points and Events

• At dawn over Konoha, Might Guy and Rock Lee battle Kinshiki Otsutsuki while maintaining the Seventh Gate. Despite their immense speed and strength, they initially only manage to stalemate him.
• Tahm returns from the Kamui Dimension and realizes that Guy and Lee may need help. His arrival allows them to unleash their combined ultimate attack.
• Guy and Lee briefly use the Eighth Gate’s power, surrounding themselves with blood-red steam and dragon-shaped chakra. They overwhelm Kinshiki with a barrage of impossibly fast strikes, reducing him to a nearly destroyed but still-living state.
• The technique severely damages Guy and Lee as well, leaving them with shattered meridians and life-threatening injuries. Tahm uses Time Warp and repeated Starcalls to heal and revive them almost immediately.
• Instead of killing Kinshiki, Tahm decides to preserve him. Since Kinshiki is an artificial chakra-based life-form, Tahm considers using him to enhance the Ten-Tails God Tree, much as the Tailed Beasts can.
• Tahm announces that Momoshiki and Kinshiki have been defeated and that the Tailed Beasts in the Kamui Dimension can now regain their freedom. This also signals to Naruto that he no longer needs to continue pretending to be Konoha’s Seventh Hokage.
• Naruto, Itachi, and Tahm attempt to retreat into the Kamui Dimension. Adult Sasuke instinctively tries to follow, threatening to expose Naruto’s secret.
• Itachi distracts Sasuke by claiming that he, Naruto, and the Tailed Beasts should handle the matter because the beasts distrust other humans—especially Sasuke.

• Itachi: Remains composed and manipulative under pressure. His experience with secrecy and performance allows him to redirect Sasuke’s suspicions, though even he cannot prevent Naruto from ruining the plan.
• Adult Sasuke: Becomes increasingly suspicious of Naruto and Itachi’s unusual closeness. Though he does not discover the truth, his confusion and emotional fixation on their relationship deepen.
• Kinshiki: Is established as an extraordinarily durable artificial life-form, surviving an attack that leaves him physically devastated and incapacitated.
• Guy and Lee’s healing: The rapid recovery from injuries that should have been fatal demonstrates the extraordinary advantage provided by Tahm’s abilities.
