Reinforcements Arrive…!!

Mū completes the summoning of Kabuto's ace, whose sheer presence throws the coffin lid wide open. Stepping free, the newcomer takes stock and assumes Nagato has grown, while Mū marvels that anyone would be worth reviving through Impure World Reincarnation. Bewildered, the summoned figure believes it was raised by the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique instead. On another front, Naruto puts down the White Zetsu menacing Hinata. Neji and Kiba pick up on how changed he seems and doubt it is truly him, but Hinata is certain, even as her confidence wavers at being shielded by the very person she hoped to protect. Naruto assures her of her own strength and turns to battle the White Zetsu. Kakashi cleaves through Fuguki Suikazan, opening the way for Sai to seal him, and Guy counts three more reincarnated shinobi left to bind, with Lee volunteering to cover Sai.

A swarm of White Zetsu descends on the Third Division, but one of Naruto's clones arrives with them, and he resolves to answer their numbers with quality rather than quantity. Another clone lands at Mifune's division to face Kimimaro and Chiyo, both of whom remark on how he has grown, while yet another reaches Mei's group and takes on Black Zetsu. Inoichi fields reports from every division confirming that Naruto is singling out and defeating the White Zetsu everywhere, and Shikaku argues their energy should shift toward hunting down Madara. Ao then senses something near Gaara's division, and a local sensor detects the split double Mū left behind, a feat that impresses Ōnoki given it was pulled off just before Mū was sealed. Beside that double stands a reincarnated Madara Uchiha, leaving everyone to wonder about the identity of the masked man steering the enemy war effort.

Mū summons Kabuto's trump card via Impure World Reincarnation. The transformed Naruto rescues Hinata and reassures her before dispersing clones that identify and defeat White Zetsu across multiple divisions. Kakashi and Sai seal Fuguki Suikazan, and a revived Madara Uchiha appears beside Mū's double, sharpening the question of who the masked leader really is.

From the Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation arc and collected in volume 59, the chapter showcases the reach of Naruto's clone strategy while planting the mystery of the masked antagonist that runs through the arc.
