He recruited Hiruko into Dragon Release Village and left Mount Sumeru with Naruto, Sasuke, and his group, while Urashiki continued racing toward the Shinobi World.

• Sasuke replaced his missing eye with an ordinary one and watched the towering Susanoo.

Lin Ze copied Sasuke Uchiha’s Eternal Black Flames and witnessed the ancient being who had slain the Earth Dragon perform Heaven Sacrifice. The fusion created Eternal Space-Time Grand Burial, an ability that could erase targets from existence and let Lin Ze travel through time within the Shinobi World.
