Congratulations

Hagoromo offers his praise to Team 7 for having sealed Kaguya, while the resurrected founding Kage pause to take in how the world now looks. The Sage credits Kakashi for guiding the group, and though Kakashi deflects the honor onto his pupils, Hagoromo still honors the guidance he gave and the friendship he shared with Obito. Deep in Kakashi's mind, the soul of Obito drifts back into the Pure Land, rejoining Rin; the two friends part again, and with that the Sharingan dims and vanishes from Kakashi's eye.

Detecting a flicker of life still within Madara, Sasuke advances on him but is checked by Hagoromo, who explains the tailed beasts have already been pulled from the Uchiha. That lets Hashirama cross to his longtime friend, and the pair turn over their opposing dreams and creeds. Madara concedes his own dream has died while Hashirama's carries on; Hashirama answers that nurturing a thriving next generation matters more than seeing one's personal vision realized. He holds out a final chance at comradeship, but Madara expires before he can complete his reply.

As the Sage sends the revived Kage back to the afterlife, Naruto dashes over to Minato for a final word. His father wishes him a joyful seventeenth birthday. In turn, Naruto asks that Kushina be told he is striving to live by the lessons she left. As his reanimated form breaks apart, Minato vows to carry the message to her.

Released in Japan on September 22, 2014, this is chapter 691, placed in volume 72 and within the Kaguya Otsutsuki Strikes arc. Its earliest printing mistakenly left Hashirama's face replica off Madara's chest, a slip fixed in the tankobon release.
