Otsutsuki Toneri attacked Naruto Uzumaki with a storm of rubble after learning the Giant Tenseigan had been destroyed. Naruto and Kurama shattered Toneri’s giant stone sphere, but Toneri trapped Naruto in the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

• Otsutsuki Toneri used Gravitational Manipulation to crush the nearby floating islands and rain their rubble down on Naruto Uzumaki.

• Naruto summoned Kurama, who destroyed the stone sphere with a Tailed Beast Bomb.
• Toneri unleashed Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion and engulfed Naruto in a raging tornado.

After Hanabi's condition stabilized, Shikamaru led the team back from the moon to the Shinobi World. The mission was complete, and Hanabi, Hinata, Naruto, and Sakura flew ahead to the village so Hanabi could rest.

• Sakura told Shikamaru that Hanabi needed at least two hours before she could travel, so Shikamaru ordered the team to pack and prepare to leave.

• Shikamaru sent Hanabi, Hinata, Naruto, and Sakura ahead on Ink Birds while he and the rest of the team set off for the village on foot.

Hanabi Hyuga returned to Konoha with Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, and Sai after their mission, and Sakura took her to the hospital for observation. Hanabi reunited with her injured father, Hyuga Hiashi, who was relieved she had come home safely.

• Shikamaru returned to Konoha and went to Naraku’s office to give a detailed account of the mission against Toneri.

• Naraku told Shikaku that requests for aid had arrived from other nations and that his title as Supreme Commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces was still valid.

As Supreme Commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces, Shihōin Naraku discussed aid requests after the meteor disaster and learned that Iwagakure had offered Konoha two years of priority on three northern mission routes in exchange for help.

Shihōin Naraku agreed to send Konoha teams to aid Iwagakure and other disaster-struck powers in exchange for benefits and influence. He also decided what Konoha would reveal about Naruto Uzumaki’s battle with Otsutsuki Toneri, leaving the details of the Tenseigan, the Hyuga Clan’s connection, and Toneri’s fate concealed.

• Naraku and Shikaku agreed that Kakashi would lead a support team to Iwagakure, which had offered Konoha priority access to assignments on three mission routes for two years.

• Shikaku Nara prepared a deployment plan for roughly two hundred and thirty Konoha Ninja, and Naraku approved it and authorized the teams to depart.
• Choza Akimichi divided his forty Konoha Ninja among riverbank repairs, clearing downstream blockages, and reserve duty in the Land of Rain.
• Kurenai Yuhi led two companies in containing a meteor-caused forest fire near Kusagakure, whose liaison thanked Konoha and requested further help.

• Kakashi led three companies to Iwagakure, where Kurotsuchi provided documents granting Konoha priority on three assignment routes and Konoha’s assistance helped her regain prestige.
