Ashura sets out on a journey, intending never to return. He ends up in a village where the people suffer from a mysterious illness.

Hagoromo's two sons, Ashura and Indra, share a happy childhood, training and playing together. Indra is naturally gifted with great talent, and at a tender age is nicknamed the 'genius of Ninshu.' On the other hand, Ashura has no aptitude for Ninshu. Still, the two boys are very close. But Hagoromo is unaware of the malevolent power stirring in the shadows…

Black Zetsu reveals that he masterminded and influenced all the events from the end of Ashura and Indra's era to the current Fourth Great Ninja War. Naruto rejects Black Zetsu's claim that the entire history of shinobi was solely for the resurrection of his mother, Kaguya. Naruto and Sasuke work together to seal away Kaguya, but they can't find a way to counter her.

Near the Divine Tree is an area known as the Peak of Demise. No one is allowed to go near it, except those chosen by Kaguya to undergo a ritual she has established. Gamamaru, a Sage Toad, says the truth lies beyond the peak—those words stir Hagoromo's curiosity, and he decides to head out to investigate.

Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly emerges from Madara's body. She is the mother of Hagoromo, the Sage of the Six Paths who entrusted his powers to Naruto and Sasuke. Kaguya's power is immense and instantly sends Naruto and Sasuke to an alternate dimension. Naruto and Sasuke are the only ones who can seal away Kaguya, but they can't find a jutsu that works against her!

Naruto had once lived a lonely existence, ostracized by everyone. But Iruka's words and his very presence have supported Naruto to this day. As Naruto's wedding nears, Iruka begins to lose sight of what he was to Naruto, and is unsure of what to say for his message. less

The Tsuchikage and Raikage, who are in the Leaf Village to attend the Five Kage Summit, mention that they have already prepared wedding gifts for Naruto. Gaara finds himself in a dilemma. He's advised that the gift should be something that befits the Kazekage. He also learns that the Raikage is planning to perform a dance. Kankuro chimes in and suggests Gaara should dance as well—further plunging Gaara into indecision.

Naruto and Hinata's wedding day has been set. As the date approaches, Kakashi encounters a problem: Naruto's friends are all top shinobi—the first line of defense in the village. They work 24/7, and there are always a few who cannot attend celebrations. As Kakashi tries to find the most reasonable solution, he announces a super-secret mission to find the couple a wedding gift.

Ino, Choji, and Temari rush to Shikamaru's aid! Choji takes on Ro, Temari goes after Soku, and Ino goes after Sai! Meanwhile, Shikamaru pursues Gengo. Can Shikamaru defeat Gengo's evil ambitions? The final battle begins!

Shikamaru and his team are within range of Fushu Castle, where Gengo is purported to be. But they are unable to glean any intel about the man. Learning that Gengo will make a public appearance, Shikamaru and company infiltrate the square, where they see Sai being held captive.

It's been two years since the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War. Shikamaru now has an important role within the Hidden Leaf government, and as a representative of the Leaf in the Alliance. One day, a situation develops with shinobi disappearing in droves, and Shikamaru takes on a dangerous mission.

Sasuke uncovers Fuushin's true identity at last, and begins to fight him. The moment Sasuke tries to read Fuushin's memories with his Sharingan, a wave of genjutsu from a massive red eye causes Sasuke to lose consciousness. He awakens to find himself alone, and sees tracks in the snow that indicate Fuushin has barely escaped alive.

Instead of returning to the Hidden Leaf, Sasuke sets out with Chino and Nowaki to investigate the cause of the exploding humans.

Ever since he was young, Jiraiya has been a little pervy. He tries to involve Orochimaru in many of his exploits as well as his schemes to get Tsunade's attention. In Kakashi's story, we see him living on his own since his father, Sakumo, died. Rin and Obito are fascinated by Kakashi, but his aloofness makes him hard to figure out.

As a child, Sasuke craved attention from his older brother Itachi. Sasuke and Itachi have a chance to spend some time alone when their parents are away. Meanwhile, Sakura is very shy and tends to spend her free time by herself. One day, her new friend Ino gives her a present.

Itachi is partnered with Kisame and begins his missions as a member of the Akatsuki. The duo succeeds in recruiting Deidara, so Pain assigns the newly formed team of Deidara and Sasori to hunt down the deserter Orochimaru. Meanwhile, intel comes in about an immortal killer, so Itachi, Konan and Kakuzu head out to the Land of Steam.

Itachi joins the ANBU and is quickly promoted to captain. But he must report directly to Danzo, and is placed as a double agent to observe the Uchiha clan, who are in the midst of planning a coup d'état. With dissatisfaction rising within the clan, the Uchiha ultimately decide to carry out their revolt, and the fateful night approaches.

Upon graduating from the Academy, Itachi becomes a genin and joins a team that includes Tenma, Shinko, and their Jonin Leader, Minazuki Sensei. They accept a mission from Granny Cat to look for a missing feline who's a skilled Ninja Cat!

The shinobi under Madara's Infinite Tsukuyomi continue to slumber and have pleasant dreams. Meanwhile, Naruto and the others have escaped the genjutsu, thanks to Sasuke's protective Susano'o. As Sasuke starts remembering the death of Itachi, his Sharingan starts to resonate and show him the truth that Itachi never spoke a word of.

Several months after Pain's attack, Jiraiya arrives with intel regarding the Akatsuki, who are attacking shinobi villages and kidnapping their Kage and jonin. He also reveals that Sasuke is working with them. Naruto is determined to bring his friend and comrade Sasuke back, once and for all!

Sasuke has left with Orochimaru, but Naruto is not about to give up. Determined to bring Sasuke back, he returns to the village with Shikamaru and the others. Meanwhile, Yahiko appears in the village, calling himself 'Pain' and seeking revenge for the Hidden Leaf's betrayal.

The Anbu who attack Naruto and Shikamaru are agents sent by Danzo, who had promised Orochimaru that he would deliver Sasuke safely to him. Luckily, Neji, Lee and Tenten rush to their aid in the nick of time! Meanwhile, Hiruko reveals the truth behind the incident involving Hizashi

Three years have passed since Sasuke joined the Leaf Police Force, and he's now lieutenant. But his abusive Police Force has only increased anxiety within the village, and the Uchiha remain in poor regard. Now that his training with Jiraiya has ended, Naruto returns to Hidden Leaf Village and has an explosive encounter with Sasuke in the middle of town!

Naruto's strength is recognized by his fellow genin, except Sasuke. But while Naruto enjoys a close relationship with his father, Sasuke's father, Fugaku, constantly compares Sasuke with his older brother Itachi and barely pays attention to him…

Jiraiya weakens the seal on the Nine Tails in order to help Naruto learn how to control the Tailed Beast's power. Jiraiya recalls the words spoken to him years ago by the Great Lord Elder. He told Jiraiya that he would have a student, and that his guidance would decide whether the student would save the Ninja World or destroy it.

The Masked Man is satisfied that the Hidden Leaf Genin chose the importance of life over their mission, but orders his team to continue their surveillance. Meanwhile, Naruto is frustrated at his inabilities, and recalls why his father Minato sealed the Nine Tails inside of him.

Team Jiraiya, Shikamaru, and his Leaf teammates are lured into a mysterious village during their battle. A couple children from the village get caught in the crossfire and fall into a cave-in. Yahiko's team rushes to the rescue, but Shikamaru doesn't budge. Meanwhile, Naruto and Neji's teams rendezvous, but a mysterious voice addresses them out of nowhere!

Tsunade continues to read Jiraiya's novel. Chunin- and jonin-level ninja have gone missing, and the Fourth Hokage, Minato, orders a search mission with teams of genin led by Guy and Kurenai. Kakashi's Team 7 is also dispatched, but the hero Naruto Uzumaki, despite being the Hokage's son, has the misfortune of being labeled a loser.

Karin is caught within the Infinite Tsukuyomi and dreams of her past. She was born into the Uzumaki Clan and has the unique ability to heal anyone who bites into her. Driven out of her village, the Hidden Grass takes her in, only to use her for this ability. Karin has no choice but to endure constant suffering in order to survive. She is later chosen to enter the Chunin Exams, where Sasuke saves her life. Karin has never forgotten what he did for her—or his smile

Killer Bee gets caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi and begins dreaming. In his dream, Jinchuriki are being stripped of their Tailed Beast powers by the Akatsuki. Bee is determined to rescue those who have been captured, and vows to resist the Akatsuki who are coming after him!

Tenten falls under the Infinite Tsukuyomi and wakes up in the Hidden Leaf Village. When Lee and Guy Sensei appear, Tenten is relieved to see that she is not alone. But her joy is short-lived, as both men act oddly and are dressed stylishly—just where has she been transported to?

Madara now possesses the Rinnegan in both eyes, and he is the strongest, most despicable enemy the newly reunited Team 7 has ever faced. Kakashi calls upon Team 7 to recall their first lesson with the bells, and to use teamwork!

It's been three years since Naruto set out to train with Jiraiya, and he's just returned to the Hidden Leaf Village. Konohamaru immediately begs Naruto to teach him a new jutsu and he starts to go over the basics...but his explanations are very vague. Soon after, Naruto sets out on a mission, leaving Konohamaru to figure it out alone!

Naruto wakes up and encounters the legendary shinobi, the Sage of Six Paths. He reveals to Naruto that he is the reincarnation of his son, Ashura, and that Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra, Ashura's older brother.

Dai counsels his forlorn son, telling him what true victory and setting self-rules are about. They become principles that Guy carves deep into his heart. With his father's teachings spurring him on, Guy sets out on his final battle.

Obito doesn't understand Kakashi's way of thinking, but he finally learns why Kakashi put his mission first that time at Kannabi Bridge. Presently, Obito and Kakashi return together to confront Madara.

Madara has transformed into the Jinchuriki of the Ten Tails and appears before Kakashi. Kakashi and the others combine their powers to attack, but they are no match for Madara..

Gaara meets with Fugi, the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on his life. He confides that perhaps, after all the fear and pain he has wrought upon the Sand, he has no right to be their leader.

Gaara heads out to rescue Matsuri and the others but is attacked by a mysterious priest who binds him with a Chakra Chain to capture his Tailed Beast.

Ino and Choji fight to protect an immobilized Sakura although they have depleted most of their chakra due to the relentless fighting.

As Ino and her team head toward an oasis, they are attacked by a team of Sand Shinobi comprised of Ameno, Shishio, and Kouji.

An ancient ruin in Demon Desert comes crumbling down during the battle for the scrolls.

Kiba and his team are in pursuit of Hidden Grass Ninja who have stolen their scroll!

Lee challenges Shira to a battle between taijutsu users!

The Second Exam finally begins! To pass this stage, each team must take possession of both the Heaven and Earth scrolls and make it to the designated site in the center of the Demon Desert within 72 hours.

The genin are unable to figure out the answer and start to panic. Neji announces to everyone in the room that he will tell them how to answer the question.

The Hidden Leaf begin preparing for the Chunin Exams. Ino and Choji ask Sakura to join their three-man team as a stand-in for Shikamaru, who is already a chunin.

Despite all efforts, Kurama is extracted from Naruto, and ultimately, all the Tailed Beasts are imprisoned inside the Gedo Statue.

Naruto and the Allied Shinobi Forces successfully extract the Tailed Beasts from Obito. Only Madara remains, and Naruto heads out to tackle this foe.

Hanabi adores her sister Hinata, who struggles to become a worthy successor to the Hyuga Clan.

Naruto's power of persuasion moves Obito's heart. Due to the influence of the Ten Tails, visions of himself and Rin from the past appear in the inner realm and play havoc with Obito's emotions.

Naruto objects to Obito's claim that he is the second Sage of Six Paths and declares that he is Obito Uchiha.

Naruto's past, thoughts, and feelings flow into the consciousness of every shinobi, unifying their hearts.

Naruto and Minato combine their powers to perform a Sage Jutsu attack on Obito.

Obito has gained complete control over his power as the Ten Tails Jinchuriki. His powerful, cold-blooded attacks force Naruto and his friends into a corner

Part 2 of a special two-part extra edition! The townspeople are going about their daily business on the streets of the Leaf Village when someone suddenly appears and starts sending them flying!

Kakashi holds on to the hope that Obito can return to being the young man that he remembers. But Obito has abandoned the present as well as the memories of his friends and will not try to stop the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Realizing that nothing more can be done, Kakashi comes to a decision to protect the world, while his former friend is determined to end it!

Team 7 is finally reunited when Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke join forces.

Noting the similarities of their circumstances, Lee is outraged at the ones who hurt and belittled Shira and sets out in pursuit!

On the night before the Second Exam, the entrants gather in the cafeteria, and a brawl breaks out. While the Hidden Leaf stand by helpless, the only one who can calm everyone down is Fuu from the Hidden Waterfall Village.

With his newly revived strength, Madara doesn't give in against the nine Tailed Beasts.

When Hinata is labeled unfit as a successor, Hanabi's heart becomes bound to her destiny.

All the Tailed Beasts are freed, and old friends Kakashi and Obito come face to face with each other. What will Obito's response be? Meanwhile, the Tailed Beasts and the Allied Shinobi Forces shift their focus onto their greatest foe, Madara Uchiha. Gaara is reunited with his former Tailed Beast, Shukaku. When Gaara asks Shukaku to lend his power to seal Madara, he refuses. Will their history of animosity prevent them from working together?

Pressed by Naruto, Obito remembers the time he, Kakashi, and Rin teamed up for the Chunin Exam and when he promised Rin that he would become Hokage.

Naruto and Sasuke size up Obito as the final battle looms. Working in sync, Naruto and Sasuke prepare to attack in the same way Madara once did, bedecking Kurama in the robes of Susano'o.

The Ten Tails morphs into its final form, 'The Divine Tree,' and attacks the shinobi, absorbing their chakra one after another.

Minato is filled with regret during his confrontation with Obito. He thinks if only he had recognized Obito as the Masked Man during the assault on the Hidden Leaf Village, he could have stopped the attack, and maybe Kushina would not have died. The next day is the anniversary of Minato's and Kushina's deaths. Obito taunts Minato as a weak shinobi and seals every shinobi inside a barrier in order to destroy them all!

Obito completely absorbs the giant Ten Tails, undergoes a transformation and becomes the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki.

Part 1 of a special two-part extra edition! The townspeople are going about their daily business on the streets of the Leaf Village when someone suddenly appears and starts sending them flying!

Bearing a close resemblance to the Legendary Sannin, Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke make a stunning arrival on the battlefield with each of their summonings.

Ten Tails is on the brink of its final transformation and begins to form a massive Tailed Beast Bomb.

After listening to what Hashirama and the rest of the former Hokage have to say, Sasuke finally understands how the Leaf Village and its shinobi came to be.

Madara and Hashirama eventually become the leaders of their respective clans. As the fighting rages on between the Senju and Uchiha, Hashirama approaches Madara about an alliance.

Sasuke returns to the Hidden Leaf Village seeking answers, and standing before him are First Hokage Hashirama, Second Hokage Tobirama, Third Hokage Hiruzen, and Fourth Hokage Minato, all reanimated.

The Allied Shinobi Forces begin their onslaught against Obito and Madara. But Ten Tails suddenly transforms and hurls powerful Tailed Beast Bombs toward distant towns. One after the other, the Tailed Beast Bombs find their targets. The shinobi wonder why Ten Tails is aiming so far away as one of the bombs heads toward HQ!

Kakashi desperately tries to reach out to Obito, but his words fall on deaf ears. Obito instead accuses Kakashi of being trash, which angers Naruto, forcing him to step in and defend his Sensei.

Hiruzen relieves Kakashi of his ANBU duties and assigns him a new position as a Jonin Leader. Reflecting on his past mistakes, Kakashi decides to use the same test that Minato once used to measure one's teamwork.

Following the aftermath of the Nine-Tails incident, many on the Leaf Council voice suspicions that the Uchiha Clan were behind this tragedy. The Uchiha are then placed under 24-hour surveillance by the ANBU, which causes further tensions to arise.

After being saved by the target he was ordered to kill, Tenzo realizes that the man known as 'Kakashi the Friend Killer' is someone who values the lives of his comrades more than anyone. No longer wishing to kill Kakashi, Tenzo abandons the mission and returns to the Leaf Village, fully aware that his actions will stir up Danzo's anger.

Yukimi leaves the village to see the outside world, taking 'Tenzo' with her. Kakashi tries to convince the two to return so that he can set a trap to capture Orochimaru, who is after Yukimi's blood. But Yamato, who has grown attached to Yukimi, abandons his original mission to protect his friend.

Orochimaru is forced to flee the Hidden Leaf after Third Hokage Hiruzen exposes his illegal experiments. Danzo, fearing that Orochimaru's capture would lead to the exposure of his own involvement in the experiments, sends out one of his men to help the rogue ninja.

Kakashi becomes part of the ANBU Black Ops, an elite team of shinobi who are under the direct command of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. Although he is highly regarded by his peers, Kakashi's ruthless way of killing the enemy has earned him the nickname 'Cold-blooded Kakashi.'

Danzo deliberately misleads Hanzo, telling him that the Akatsuki are attempting to sabotage the peace talks between the Hidden Rain and Stone. Believing his story, Hanzo sets up a trap to crush the Akatsuki for the sake of his people.

Obito watches in disbelief as Kakashi kills Rin. Unable to accept the harsh reality, Obito decides to carry out Madara's dream so that he can create an ideal world where Rin still exists. Taking on the name Madara Uchiha, Obito sets out to find Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan necessary to accomplish project Tsuki-no-me.

The identity of the masked man is revealed to be Kakashi's old friend Obito, previously believed to have died in the battle of Kannabi Bridge. Naruto and the others are further shocked when they learn that Obito has been working with Madara Uchiha for years to orchestrate Project Tsuki no Me.

Having absorbed the chakras of all nine Tailed Beasts, the Gedo Statue begins its transformation into Ten Tails. Naruto, Killer Bee, Kakashi, and Guy try to destroy the Gedo Statue but are stopped by the masked man who is able to phase through all of their attacks.
