• Uchiha Senmon asked whether the Age of Gods had ended naturally, and Jiraiya revealed that a seed of destruction had fallen from the sky and brought about its demise.

Jiraiya explained that the Age of Gods ended and the Inner World separated from the Surface World, but the boundary began breaking down around Heisei 19. He revealed that every member of the Akatsuki was Kage level, leaving the officials with two questions.

• Jiraiya described how the Inner World and the Surface World separated, and how only powerful Kage-level beings could project their power across the boundary.

• Jiraiya confirmed that every member of the Akatsuki was Kage level, leaving the officials two questions.

He warned that the Akatsuki’s masked member was about to come for Princess Kaguya in Tokyo, leaving the officials scrambling as they prepared to use their final question to ask how they could help.

• Japan’s leaders reprimanded Tokyo’s governor for nearly wasting their second question, then chose Uchiha Senmon to ask Jiraiya why the Akatsuki was searching for the Nine-Tails in Japan.

• Japan’s Minister of Defense used the final question to ask Jiraiya how the government could help, pledging to do whatever it could.

At Senso-ji, Jiraiya announced a plan to sever the connection between earth and heaven, burning thirty-six monsters to gather spiritual energy for the ritual. Meanwhile, Uchiha Naruto revealed that the plan was a fabricated excuse to earn Ninja Jewels and buy time, then prepared to make Tobi’s final appearance with Ninja Dog Tsunayoshi.

• Superintendent Matsuura arrived at the military cordon around Senso-ji and saw Jiraiya, the Superintendent General, Uchiha Senmon, and Tokyo officials gather there.

Uchiha Senmon led troops to contain them, then faced a towering creature formed from their remains.

• The statue sat upright, the temperature plunged, and alarms sounded as the dead in Senso-ji Cemetery climbed from their graves.
• Uchiha Senmon led emergency troops to the cemetery, where Self-Defense Forces gunfire destroyed the slow-moving earth corpse puppets.
• Uchiha Senmon suspected ghosts from Hell had joined with the cemetery soil to create the puppets and reported the situation to the Superintendent General.
• More than a dozen puppets merged with their shattered limbs into a nine-meter ghostly deity, and Uchiha Senmon attacked it with Wood Release, Cutting Technique.

• The Self-Defense Forces struggled against a towering bull-headed, horse-faced demon until Uchiha Senmon impaled and destroyed it with Wood Release.

Truth Listener helped Uchiha Senmon's forces defeat the cemetery's undead and showed unusual affection for him, while rejecting the governor of Tokyo Metropolis. Jiraiya's ritual revealed that the nameless deity was Great King Enma, but a Kamui Shuriken suddenly opened a vortex and swallowed the statue.

• Truth Listener emerged from the ground, killed several giant ghost deities, and used a powerful bark to scatter the ghosts and knock down the clay figures.
• Uchiha Senmon approached Truth Listener, which eagerly jumped into his arms and licked him while the young novice monk identified it as Kshitigarbha's divine beast.

• Jiraiya's ritual revealed the nameless deity as Great King Enma, specifically the one-eyed Konjac Enma statue, rather than Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva.
• A Kamui Shuriken opened a huge vortex above the Thunder and Wind Gods Gate and swallowed the statue of Great King Enma along with its surroundings.

Uchiha Senmon and Jiraiya faced Tobi at Senso-ji after Tobi destroyed Jiraiya’s summoned Great King Enma statue with Kamui. As the battle escalated from Fire Style clashes to Tobi’s enormous fire serpent, Jiraiya answered with the True Fire of Samadhi.
