Naruto destroyed the moon with a colossal Chakra cannon, freeing Kaguya Otsutsuki and leaving the shinobi world stunned by the meteor shower. As villages reacted to the disaster, Kisame Hoshigaki waited in terror while Akino Ai gave birth.
Kisame and Akino Ai welcomed their daughter safely while Naruto encountered a massive golden eye containing the collected ocular power of the Otsutsuki clan. After absorbing it and breaking the shell that held Kaguya Otsutsuki, Naruto faced the newly freed woman, who mistook her for Hamura’s descendant.
Naruto freed Kaguya Otsutsuki and learned that three other Otsutsuki Clan members might come to Earth, prompting her to prepare for a future threat. After speaking with the Sage of Six Paths, Naruto returned to the ground, where Black Zetsu recognized Kaguya.
Naruto introduced Kaguya Otsutsuki to the Tailed Beasts and restored the destroyed moon, though it became lemon-shaped. After bringing Kaguya to Otogakure and revealing Black Zetsu’s role in Madara Uchiha’s plans, Naruto found Kaguya comforting her on a rooftop as she grieved over being sealed by her son.
Naruto discovered that Urashiki Otsutsuki had arrived near Earth and prepared for the Otsutsuki Clan members who might come after her. She told Kaguya Otsutsuki what she had seen and learned the visitor was descended from traitors, but Kaguya could not estimate Naruto’s chances against them.
Naruto prepared the ninja world for the arrival of three Otsutsuki Clan members and tested whether her Rotation ability could affect Kaguya Otsutsuki. The test showed that Rotation could rapidly age Kaguya, leaving Naruto unsure why it could not reverse her growth.
Naruto strengthened Kaguya Otsutsuki with a Chakra Fruit made from her own Chakra, then summoned the village Kage to warn them about the Otsutsuki Clan. The Kage learned that an enemy was on the moon, and Naruto left them with a warning to stay alert.
Naruto warned the Kage about the Otsutsuki Clan, then prepared to detect their arrival while Kaguya Otsutsuki regained her adult form. When Momoshiki Otsutsuki, Urashiki Otsutsuki, and Kinshiki arrived in Otogakure and attacked civilians, Naruto confronted them.
Naruto defeated Kinshiki Otsutsuki, Urashiki Otsutsuki, and Momoshiki Otsutsuki in Otogakure, then returned home. The story shifted to Sunagakure, where Kisame Hoshigaki prepared to marry Akino Ai.
Kisame Hoshigaki and Akino Ai prepared for their wedding in Sunagakure, while Naruto encouraged the uncertain groom to trust that he could make Ai and their child happy. The ceremony ended with Kisame Hoshigaki and Akino Ai exchanging vows and tokens before embracing beneath the church’s stained-glass windows.
Naruto defeated three Otsutsuki who attacked Otogakure, then faced her wives’ anger for keeping the danger from them. After two exhausting days, she told Kaguya Otsutsuki she had seen Kaguya’s former strength in Hamura Otsutsuki’s memories.
Naruto attacked Obito Uchiha after revealing that the Infinite Tsukuyomi transformed its victims into White Zetsu, but Minato Namikaze repeatedly rescued Obito and Rin. Naruto left the story raging at Minato for protecting the students who had caused her and her mother pain.
Naruto rejected Kushina’s plea to forgive Obito and later arranged for Obito’s soul to be reborn as Rin’s child. Meanwhile, Nagato and Konan built Akatsuki into a peacekeeping force, whose growing influence drew the attention of powerful enemies and the Five Great Nations.
The Akatsuki Organization rejected the Five Great Nations’ attempt to recruit Nagato and continued growing with Otogakure’s support. A popular game nearly ended warfare, leaving Akatsuki unemployed until Otogakure hired them to stop real-life ninja fighting, earning them Naruto’s nickname, the FBI.
