As the Ōtsutsuki fleet approached Mars earlier than expected, Tsubasa rushed reinforcements to the planet while Tenmei completed the civilian evacuation and prepared the Azure Dragon Corps for battle.

After ordering the Immortal Corps to probe for weaknesses, Tenmei sent Orochimaru’s forces into battle.

• Tenmei sent Orochimaru’s Flying Zombie Corps behind the Hell Oni Clan Corps to attack, and Orochimaru urged his troops to charge.

The Allied Shinobi Forces’ attacks failed to break the Ōtsutsuki Legion’s defenses, so Tenmei ordered fighters and mechas to strike from all sides. The mechas began to weaken the spherical shield, but Ōtsutsuki Ran countered with a volley of black arrows as elite Golden Core Immortal Venerable Level pilots reached the front.

As the Ten-Tails became an ark meant to carry humanity beyond the solar system, clans and families struggled over who would leave and who would remain to defend the Shinobi World. Immortal King Tsubasa chose ten Golden Core Immortal Venerables by lot, and Tenpei and Tenna began assembling a group of more than five hundred Ten Family members for the migration.

• Uchiha Fugaku, Hyuga Hiashi, and other clan leaders argued over how to divide the Ten-Tails’ one hundred thousand places, while Kiba Inuzuka and hundreds of others gave up their places to stay and fight.

After months of testing, thirty-eight immortal-grade candidates gathered at the Immortal Venerable Hall to compete for a chance to become Immortal King Tsubasa’s disciples.
