Kakuzu è ancora vivo, ma incapace di muoversi, così, Kakashi ne approfitta e lo finisce con il Mille Falchi. Una volta tornati al villaggio, Naruto viene curato da Sakura (essendosi rotto il braccio nell'eseguire il Rasenshuriken) e Tsunade, dopo avere esaminato il cadavere di Kakuzu, ordina a Kakashi ed a Yamato di impedire a Naruto di eseguire nuovamente la sua nuova tecnica. Shikamaru trova Kurenai alla tomba di Asuma e le promette di prendersi cura del bambino che sta aspettando. Una volta a casa, Shikamaru dice a suo padre di avere finalmente capito chi è il Re: è la nuova generazione

Sasuke domanda ai due dell'Organizzazione Alba dove si trovi Itachi e colpisce Tobi che, con sua grande sorpresa, rimane impassibile. Deidara decide di testare le capacità del suo avversario usando la sua creta esplosiva di livello C1, ma Sasuke sfugge all'esplosione e costringe il ninja ad utilizzare il suo Drago C2. Deidara e Tobi creano un attacco combinato che non impensierisce il loro avversario che, infatti, distrugge senza difficoltà il Drago grazie alle sue abilità con l'elemento Raiton (fulmine). Deidara riporta alla mente la sconfitta subita in passato da Itachi quando entrò nell'Akatsuki e, preso dalla rabbia, decide di usare il suo Garuda C4.

Usando se stesso come esplosivo, Deidara crea un'esplosione di dieci chilometri di diametro. Sasuke riesce a scappare ricorrendo alla Tecnica del Richiamo. Il suo gruppo si rifugia, dunque, in una locanda in modo che Sasuke si ristabilisca. Altrove, due membri dell'Organizzazione Alba, Pain e Konan, si incontrano con il loro leader il quale dà loro l'ordine di catturare Naruto in persona. Chi è questa vera mente del complotto dell'Organizzazione Alba che si nasconde nell'ombra?

Jiraiya e Gamaken iniziano la loro battaglia contro Pain. Dopo essersi reso invisibile usando il mimetismo, Pain evoca numerose creature per sconfiggere Jiraiya. Comprendendo la forza del suo avversario, Jiraiya utilizza una barriera e si prepara ad entrare in modalità eremitica. Una volta che il Ninja Leggendario ha approntato la sua tecnica, Gamaken lascia il campo di battaglia dopo un duro scontro. Jiraiya entra in modalità eremitica e richiama Pa e Ma. Una volta scoperto, Pain richiama altri due dei suoi corpi.

Jiraiya intrappola in una barriera uno dei corpi di Pain e lo sconfigge. L'eremita dice allora a Fukusaku e Shima di tornare a Konoha col corpo dell'avversario, ma il primo si rifiuta e resta al suo fianco. Jiraiya torna ad affrontare Pain e si rende conto che tutti i suoi corpi appartengono a ninja che ha incontrato o coi quali si è battuto in passato. Il Ninja Leggendario capisce, dunque, chi è, in realtà, il suo avversario, ma, in quel momento, viene trafitto da tutti e cinque i corpi rimanenti. Nonostante le ferite Jiraya proverà a dire l'identità di Pian a Fukusaku ma non ci riuscirà perché avrò la gola recisa. Mentre sta per perdere conoscenza cerca di rialzarsi. I suoi avversari si avventano su di lui per finirlo, ma, prima che ci riescano, egli scrive sulla schiena di Fukusaku un messaggio in codice. La rana riesce a fuggire poco prima che Jiraiya muoia pensando al titolo da dare al suo prossimo libro: "Le avventure di Naruto Uzumaki"

The battle with Kaguya is over, and all that is left is for Naruto and Sasuke to combine their powers and release the Infinite Tsukuyomi. But before they can do this, Sasuke makes a shocking declaration.

Naruto and Sasuke have both become such high-level shinobi that each knows exactly what the other is thinking just by exchanging attacks. Despite knowing how Naruto feels, Sasuke is determined to cut him down.

"I'll be a better shinobi than Lord Hokage! Then all the villagers will have to acknowledge my existence at last!" True to his word, Naruto has walked his own path until there are none who do not recognize that he's become a great shinobi and a hero who has saved the world. But what path will Naruto take now? How will the world of the shinobi change? This is the story of the boy who blew through the hearts of all like a "shippu," an irresistible gale. This is the story of Naruto Uzumaki.

As a result of having the Nine Tails sealed inside of him, Naruto is feared and hated by the villagers.

Naruto and Hinata’s wedding day has been set. As the date approaches, Kakashi encounters a problem: Naruto’s friends are all top shinobi—the first line of defense in the village.

As Kakashi tries to find the most reasonable solution, he announces a super-secret mission to find the couple a wedding gift.

The super-secret mission to find Naruto and Hinata a wedding gift proves to be difficult for Shikamaru. Choji has found the perfect gift, which adds to Shikamaru's panic. But then Choji mentions something in passing and Shikamaru gets an idea. All he needs now is to enlist Temari's help!

Shino and Kiba still don't have a wedding gift for Hinata's wedding.
