Thanks to Itachi, the Reanimation Jutsu is released, and all the Reanimated Shinobi are returned to their resting places. But to everyone’s surprise, the real Madara still remains!

Suigetsu and Jugo finally catch up to Sasuke. In order to learn the truth behind the Leaf’s actions, Sasuke decides to resurrect the one man who can help him find the answer—Orochimaru.

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.

Kakashi discovers a strange connection between the masked man’s Transportation Technique and his own Kamui Jutsu. Naruto throws everything he’s got against the masked man and breaks his mask, finally revealing his identity!

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…

After the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Obito finds himself inside the hidden lair of Madara Uchiha, who saved the young shinobi’s life. There, Obito works to rehabilitate his injured body in the hopes of being reunited with Kakashi and Rin.

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.

Being informed by Kakashi that the orphans he trained are now attempting to bring about change in the Hidden Rain Village through dialogue, Jiraiya expresses hist satisfaction with his students' progress.

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.

After the end of the Third Great Ninja War, the Leaf Village is divided over who should become the next Hokage.

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.

At the Foundation, Kakashi meets a boy who uses Wood Style, a jutsu that only First Hokage Hashirama was capable of using. Kakashi goes to Third Hokage Hiruzen’s library to seek answers and discovers records regarding Hashirama’s cells.

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…

While pursuing Orochimaru, Kakashi wanders into a village inhabited by the Iburi Clan, a group of people with the unique ability to turn into smoke. Kakashi is soon captured and learns that the villagers all serve under Orochimaru.

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.

Danzo orders Tenzo to kill Kakashi and take his Sharingan. Reluctant at first, Tenzo decides to carry out his orders after learning that the Leaf Shinobi has come to be known as “Kakashi the Friend Killer.”

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.

Itachi Uchiha is inducted into Kakashi’s unit as the youngest member of the ANBU Black Ops. Itachi’s father, Fugaku, is pleased, thinking this will grant the Uchiha access to exclusive, top-secret Leaf intel.

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…

Kakashi visits the Uchiha District and notices that the community seems more antisocial than the last time he visited. Meanwhile Itachi finds concrete evidence regarding the Uchiha Clan’s coup against the Leaf. The fateful moment is fast…

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.

Hiruzen assigns Kakashi to be in charge of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, three genin that bear a striking resemblance to the former Team Minato.

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.

The barrier is shattered, and Ten Tails appears! With unfathomable power in its attack, it sends shock waves through the air! Kurama takes the lead and tries to go on the offensive, but is helpless against Ten Tails' immense strength.

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.

Naruto is overcome with grief over Neji’s death, but Hinata's words restore his fighting spirit.

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.

Villages did not exist when Hashirama was a child. It was during this strife-filled time that he met Madara Uchiha.

Madara and Hashirama eventually become the leaders of their respective clans.

The Senju and Uchiha clans join together to build a shinobi village and fulfill their dreams.

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.

The fighting rages between Naruto, who stands at the vanguard of the Allied Shinobi Forces, and the team of Madara and Obito.

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

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

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

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 is determined to end the world!

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!

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!

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

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.

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…

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

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

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

Naruto and Sasuke size up Obito as the final battle looms.

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

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'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.

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,…

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

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

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

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

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

The story travels back to the time after Sasuke's defection from the Leaf and before Naruto's return from his two-year training journey with Jiraiya.

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.

The Chunin Exams finally begin and the proctor for Round One is none other than Shikamaru!

The genin are unable to figure out the answer and start to panic.

On the night before the Second Exam, the entrants gather in the cafeteria, and a brawl breaks out.

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.

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

Lee challenges Shira to a battle between taijutsu users!

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

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

As the team prepares for dinner, Tenten pulls out a scroll that contains all the ingredients for okonomiyaki.

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

Ino, Sakura and Choji trudge across a desert under the blazing sun without any provisions. Ino and Sakura are arguing when a giant scorpion attacks and injures Sakura.

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

Sakura and her team continue their trek across the desert towards the goal. Their continuous battles have depleted Sakura's chakra, so they stop to rest. Just then, they encounter a puppet manipulated by a rival team from the Sand and end…

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

Sand Jonin Fugi sneaks into the Demon Desert and creates a massive sandstorm in order to assassinate Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage.

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.

Neji and the team come across Matsuri collapsed in the desert and find out that Gaara is in danger. Meanwhile, the chains of a mysterious priest bind Gaara and Foo.

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.

After his Tailed Beast is extracted, Naruto is on the verge of dying. Sakura desperately tries to save him, but Naruto's heart gives out.

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..

Kakashi has changed for the worse, and Obito doesn't know why. He runs into Kakashi and tries to talk to him, but Kakashi gives him the cold shoulder.

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.

Guy releases his Eight Inner Gates against Madara, but the Seventh Gate of Shock does not work against him!

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.

Guy activates the Eight Inner Gates Formation and relentlessly attacks Six Paths Madara. Even Madara, who has attained power strong enough to create huge fissures in the ground, tries to dodge Guy's direct attacks.

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.

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…

Madara sustains serious damage from the Eight Inner Gates Formation, the move Guy risks his life for.
