Summary

With Obito breaking apart, Kakashi questions why he would throw away his life when the battle still needs him, but Obito urges his friend to keep his attention on the enemy. He reflects that Kakashi has to live on to guide the coming generation, singling out Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke as vital to what comes next. Kaguya elects to retreat to her original dimension so her chakra can recover. Naruto strains to use his Yin and Yang powers to hold Obito together while Black Zetsu jeers at both the wasted effort and Obito's squandered existence, and though Obito accepts the judgement, the taunts only stoke Naruto's fury.

Key Events

Realizing his dōjutsu's swapping ability has recharged, Sasuke strikes at Kaguya and drives her to jump dimensions to dodge. Casting himself as the diversion this time, he summons his Complete Body Susanoo and bears down on her. Obito seizes the pause to thank Kakashi and Naruto for helping him recall who he once was, tells Naruto to reach for the title of Hokage, and finally collapses into ash, prompting Zetsu to sneer that he outlasted an ordinary insect like a stubborn cockroach. Incensed, Naruto insists that anyone who once dreamed of becoming Hokage was a great person, then rockets upward and shears off Kaguya's left arm with a chakra arm of his own.
