Shisui Uchiha took control of the Daimyo of the Land of Water after discovering he planned to provoke a war with the Land of Fire to obtain Virtual Headsets. Meanwhile, Naruto waited at the Base for Sasori and Kakuzu to arrive.
Naruto welcomed Hidan to the base and let him test his Death Controlling Possessed Blood technique. Hidan’s attack failed because the blood Naruto gave him was not Naruto’s, leaving Hidan unable to harm him.
Obito returned to Kirigakure to regain control of Yagura, but Yagura challenged him with help from the mental barrier Naruto had placed in his mind. Their fight ended with Yagura resisting Obito’s genjutsu before Obito was suddenly wounded in the chest.
Obito freed himself from Madara’s control, while Naruto recruited Hidan and returned to Konoha to check on the new district and plan to revive his mother. The chapter ended with Minato explaining how the major clans were contributing to Konoha’s development.
Minato Namikaze, Naruto, Orochimaru, and Sasori prepared to revive Kushina Uzumaki using Impure World Reincarnation and One's Own Life Reincarnation. Kushina returned to life, leaving Sasori determined to find his parents' remains so they could be revived too.
Naruto reunited his family and invited Mikoto and Fugaku to dinner, then found Itachi arguing with Fugaku over his revolutionary beliefs and refusal to return to Konoha. After Naruto told Itachi the Base was preparing to relocate, Itachi agreed to head back soon.
Fugaku mistook Itachi’s revolution for Minato’s grand plan and decided the Uchiha could benefit from supporting it. After bringing Sasuke to the Konoha New District, the group reunited Mikoto with Kushina, and Minato reassured Fugaku that the Uchiha’s institutions and technology would give them a strong place in the future.
Naruto agreed to attend the Ninja Academy after finishing his work with the Akatsuki, then helped Lelouch set out to take control of the Land of Fire. Lelouch teleported toward the Land of Fire Capital, ready to act on his own.
Naruto entered the Virtual World and watched the Tuantuan Monkey Guild fight the Sunagakure Guild for control of the Ninja Region. Jiraiya wondered whether the game could prevent real wars and asked to invest in Xunteng Company, while Naruto promised Minato would support him.
Rasa led the defeated Sand shinobi to the Magic Region while Orochimaru stayed behind to approach Nagato, who remained committed to witnessing the shinobi villages at war. Jiraiya and Naruto then asked Nagato to join the Revolutionary Movement, leaving Nagato’s answer unknown.
Naruto told Nagato that collecting the tailed beasts would revive the Ten-Tails and destroy the world, making Nagato reconsider his plan for peace. After leaving the virtual world, Nagato decided to ask Madara Uchiha about Naruto's claims when he returned to Amegakure.
Naruto went to the Ninja Academy with Minato and Kushina, then spent class checking on Obito. In Amegakure, Nagato confronted Obito about the Ten-Tails, leaving Obito suspecting that Black Zetsu had exposed him because he had escaped Madara's control.
Obito revealed that he was not Madara and told Nagato that Black Zetsu and Madara had manipulated his life, hoping to recruit him to their Ten-Tails plan. Nagato withdrew into the virtual world to clear his head, while Naruto believed the revelations had pushed him toward Naruto’s own revolutionary cause.
Naruto and Jiraiya found Nagato and Konan after Nagato considered destroying his Rinnegan to stop Obito and Madara’s plans. Naruto supported the idea, then revealed that Black Zetsu was manipulating them to resurrect Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
Naruto learned that Jiraiya and Nagato agreed to destroy the Rinnegan, while Orochimaru volunteered to clone Nagato a new body. In the Sealing Space, Naruto met Wolffy's wife, Red Wolffy, and their son Little Gray, who refused to eat the conjured sheep and happily accepted potato chips from Pikachu.
Obito Uchiha entered the virtual world to investigate it and joined the Uchiha Guild. While exploring, he found NPC versions of himself and Rin Nohara, leaving him jealous and furious at whoever had created them.
Obito failed to replace NPC Obito and was shaken by NPC Rin's rebuke, but he resolved to find Kakashi and claim NPC Rin for himself. After Obito left, Black Zetsu grew concerned that his plans were at risk and prepared alternate ways to break the moon's seal.
Obito returned to Konoha to find Kakashi and was stunned by the village’s transformation before dressing in a suit to confront him. Kakashi went alone to Konoha Cemetery, where Obito waited by Rin’s grave.
Obito confronted Kakashi to demand the virtual-world Rin NPC, but refused to abandon his plans for the Infinite Tsukuyomi after learning Madara had orchestrated Rin’s death. Kakashi attacked to subdue him, and Minato stopped Obito from escaping with Kamui.
Minato Namikaze trapped Obito with a space-sealing technique, but Obito refused to abandon his plan to cast Infinite Tsukuyomi. Kushina beat him into submission, leaving him badly injured and Minato lamenting that she had not gone easy on him.
Kushina beat and healed Obito until Minato sealed him and ordered him taken to the office building. In Naruto’s Sealing Space, Wolffy sought advice on getting Little Gray to eat meat, while Zeff and Kurapika hoped to return to their own worlds and Wolffy said he could search for routes between worlds.
Naruto confronted the captured Obito and tried to make him abandon the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but Obito remained defiant. Naruto exposed Obito’s humiliating recorded speeches and suggested showing them to Rin if she was revived, leaving Obito mortified.
Naruto and Minato decided to punish Obito by trapping him in the virtual world, where Naruto made him relive the battlefield tied to Rin’s death. Obito was forced to watch Kakashi die instead, then slaughtered the Mist Ninja and vowed to create a world with Kakashi in it.
Obito watched a theatrical version of his life and was forced through a wedding to Kakashi before Naruto showed him another dream world. In the new scenario, Obito became a Konoha hero and married Rin, but he grew alarmed when she and everyone except Naruto remained unchanged over the years.
Obito rejected the illusion of a peaceful Konoha because he knew the Rin there was only a memory, then completed his forced wedding to Kakashi before returning to Naruto’s virtual world for rehabilitation. Meanwhile, Itachi and Shisui began moving their base to the Land of Water and preparing to govern alongside its Daimyo.
