Summary

Madara puzzles over how Naruto managed to keep Guy's chakra from guttering out, and he blocks the boy's punch with his last Truth-Seeking Ball, sensing a surge in his opponent's power. Channeling Son Goku, Naruto forms a lava Rasenshuriken and hurls it at Madara and the tree while slipping past Limbo: Border Jail. The strike shears the tree, which seems to urge Madara to absorb it, and he obliges. Naruto ferries Guy back to Lee and Gaara. Inside Kamui's dimension, Sakura thanks Obito for saving Naruto, and Obito asks something of her, while Sasuke frees Tobirama from Madara's black rods and asks the Second to teleport him.

Key Events

Recovered from absorbing the tree, Madara declares himself unbeatable, but Naruto scoops up one of his father's Flying Thunder God kunai and rises in Six Paths Sage Mode, no longer alone as Sasuke appears beside him with the Rinnegan newly opened. Madara boasts of holding both their powers and attacks, only for Naruto to deflect the blow and Sasuke to phase clear with Amenotejikara. As the pair ready their jutsu, Madara realizes they have grasped how his Limbo works. He sacrifices the invisible clones to escape, snatches Kakashi's Sharingan, and though Sasuke slices him in two with the Chidori Sharp Spear, Madara warps into Kamui's dimension. There he turns on Sakura, who at Obito's request is preparing to destroy the Rinnegan before Black Zetsu can seize it for Madara.
