The chapter ends with battles erupting at the Five Great Shinobi Villages and the fully transformed Eight-Tails appearing at Kumorai Gorge.

• Izayoi made the Yin Nine Tails sign a summoning contract, imprisoned it on a remote island, and returned home after sending Minato Namikaze back to the base.
• Izayoi prepared to hunt for Points with Human Puppets empowered by the Yin Nine Tails, and turmoil spread through the shinobi world after six peaceful months.

• Torune Aburame destroyed part of Kumorai Gorge with the Five Release Great Consecutive Shots Technique, and the fully transformed Eight-Tails emerged.

Izayoi staged an assault by Human Puppets across the shinobi villages while pretending to be trapped, then ended the Konoha battle with Sage Art Wood Release after Sasuke Uchiha and Uzumaki Naruto were defeated. The attack left Izayoi’s standing in Konoha stronger, while he continued collecting Points from the battles.

• Ōnoki was trapped inside the Four Red Yang Formation and could not use Dust Release freely without risking his subordinates and the Tsuchikage Building.
• Izayoi’s Human Puppets attacked the Five Great Shinobi Villages, while barriers also trapped Konoha, Izayoi’s home, and the Uchiha Clan compound.

• Izayoi kept up his staged duel with Lord Danzo as the Human Puppets fought their targets, and he converted the resulting entries into Points.
• After learning that Sasuke Uchiha and Uzumaki Naruto had been defeated without dropping entries, Izayoi entered Sage Mode and used Wood Release to destroy many Human Puppets and break the barriers.
• Konoha’s ninjas watched Izayoi end the battle, unaware that he had orchestrated the attack, and his reputation as a hero grew.

Izayoi used the Human Puppet Army to repeatedly attack the Five Great Shinobi Villages, farming traits while leaving most targets alive. After the raids abruptly stopped, the villages believed the ordeal was over, while Izayoi reached 799,999 points and Akatsuki grew uneasy about the source of Otsutsuki Toneri’s immense chakra.

• Tsunade and Shikaku Nara concluded that Otsutsuki Toneri’s attack on Konoha had tested his human puppets rather than tried to capture or kill its strongest ninja.

• A week later, Izayoi doubled the attacks and used Four Violet Flames Formations to target ninja whose Purple Traits had not yet been harvested.
• Nagato and Uchiha Obito discussed the surviving Jinchuriki and the human puppets’ immense chakra, while Black Zetsu feared Otsutsuki Toneri had gained an unknown power source.

• Izayoi checked his Personal Panel and saw that his points had reached 799,999 after gaining five hundred thousand points.

After months of battles against the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Izayoi received a classified solo mission as his Jonin Exam and used his departure as cover for his final preparations.

• Izayoi’s Wood Clone detected that Nagato’s return to Amegakure was not his real body, and Izayoi spotted a dark figure descending toward him.

Nagato revealed himself and attacked Izayoi, seeking to eliminate the holder of Orthodox Wood Release. Izayoi matched Nagato’s attacks with powerful Wood Release, composite ninjutsu, and Sage Mode, then trapped him in a barrier amid a vast forest; Nagato unleashed a massive explosion to break free.

• Izayoi exposed Nagato’s disguise by sensing his soul, and Nagato admitted that Izayoi and Otsutsuki Toneri were Akatsuki’s greatest obstacles.

As the Akatsuki joined the fight and the Five Kage mobilized, Tsunade learned that Izayoi was battling the Akatsuki Leader in the Land of Fire and prepared Konoha for the possibility that the conflict would reach the village.

• Tsunade returned to Konoha to organize preparations for a possible attack, fearing the Akatsuki Leader could pursue Izayoi there.

Izayoi battled Nagato in Amegakure, then faced Nagato and Tobi together as they created a Thousand-Armed Buddha Statue. Izayoi revealed that he could control Wood Release without hand seals, overwhelming their attacks, though Nagato discovered that the Preta Path could absorb the chakra from Izayoi’s Wood Human Arhat’s chakra shockwave.

Izayoi and Nagato fought for a day and a night with their enormous Wood Release constructs, while the shinobi world watched and feared the consequences. As both sides weakened, Izayoi restored his chakra through a Wood Clone and Naruto, then launched another attack with Sage Mode activated.

• Izayoi's Wood Human Arhat and Nagato's Thousand-Armed Buddha Statue traded attacks, repairing damage and trying to exhaust each other's chakra.
• News of the battle spread across the shinobi world, and leaders including Ōnoki and Tsunade reacted to the young fighters' power.

Nagato and Uchiha Obito used the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and the Wood Human to corner Izayoi, but Izayoi’s Wood Clone entered the Kamui Dimension and attacked their hidden forces. Nagato’s side escaped back to the battlefield, where Obito learned that Izayoi had exposed his identity and could exploit his other eye.

• Nagato ordered Tobi to join him and summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path as a trump card against Izayoi.
• In the Kamui Dimension, Nagato’s Wood Clones held the Five-Tails and Seven-Tails Jinchuriki captive while Obito and Nagato discussed Izayoi’s strength and the possibility that he was Otsutsuki Toneri.

• Nagato told Obito that Izayoi could read lips and had learned his identity, then urged him to retrieve his other eye; Obito fell silent.

Izayoi, Shimura Danzō, and Otsutsuki Toneri’s intervention overwhelmed Nagato’s plan as the giant summons clashed and the Chakra Dragon caused a devastating explosion. Nagato accepted that his escape was cut off and prepared to fight to the death, while Tobi secretly contacted Black-White Zetsu.

• Izayoi called on Otsutsuki Toneri for help as Nagato and Uchiha Obito moved to attack, and the Wood Human Arhat clashed with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and the Thousand-Armed Buddha Statue.

• Nagato told Tobi to escape, explaining that Danzō had cut off his retreat, but Tobi stayed and sent a message to Black-White Zetsu, who disappeared underground.

Nagato’s side of the battle weakened as the Human Puppet Army gained ground, but Black-White Zetsu revealed Madara Uchiha as their trump card and revived him through Impure World Reincarnation. Madara explained the Eye of the Moon plan and invited Nagato to join him; Nagato refused while agreeing to revive Madara and observe his vision of peace.

• Konan took Deva Path Pain away from the battlefield after Nagato’s Wood Clone claimed it was nearly out of chakra, while the Human Puppet Army’s losses shifted the battle in the Impure World Reincarnation army’s favor.

Izayoi upgraded his Otsutsuki Bloodline to a colored-grade entry and analyzed how the Tenseigan and Rinnegan marked the threshold of a higher dimension. After Madara Uchiha’s resurrection ended the Endgame Battle, the Five Great Shinobi Villages prepared to respond to the threat, while Tsunade called for Izayoi to return and convened a Five Kage Summit.

Meanwhile, Madara sent Black Zetsu to search for a passage to the moon, saw Nagato and Konan leave Akatsuki, and summoned the remaining members to demand their loyalty.
