Obito Uchiha revealed a strange, detached side of himself and entered the Kamui World, leaving Tsunade and Gen uncertain whether Arakuro had escaped.

• Uchiha Hikari found that her Yachihoko could not affect Madara Uchiha and tried to kill herself with a spear of Amaterasu flames.

• Katsuyu said Kushina would teleport in to assist Gen, surprising him.

Katsuyu told Uchiha Gen that Kushina had mastered the Nine-Tails’ power and could secretly reach the battlefield, while Uchiha Gen suspected that a future Obito had used Kamui to travel through time. After discussing Gengar’s ability to absorb natural energy, Uchiha Gen considered collecting Tailed Beasts to increase his strength and weaken rival villages.

• Katsuyu explained that Kushina could use the Nine-Tails’ space-time abilities to reach the battlefield, but had to avoid being discovered by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
• Uchiha Gen guessed that Minato Namikaze might have helped Kushina and that a future Obito Uchiha had used a time-traveling version of Kamui to take Arakuro away.

• Uchiha Gen recognized the second Jinchūriki as White Zetsu, who unleashed the Three-Tails’ chakra and began a monstrous transformation.
