Summary
Naruto begs Sasuke to free the tailed beasts that have only now won their release. Even after promising they will never again serve as weapons, Sasuke coldly states that once he ends the Infinite Tsukuyomi he means to wipe out every trace of the beasts, Naruto included, since Naruto now carries pieces of their chakra. Kakashi tries to give chase but is still drained from using the Sharingan.

Sakura makes a last tearful attempt to bring Sasuke home and is cut off by genjutsu. Ignoring Kakashi's words once more, Naruto tells him of the old promise he made to Sakura and sets off. Hagoromo stays with Kakashi and the unconscious Sakura, speaking of his sons Indra and Asura and the guilt he carries for setting today's tragedy in motion.
