The Final Saga • Salvation of the Shinobi World
About The Arc
The Kaguya Ōtsutsuki Strikes Arc serves as the epic final narrative arc of Naruto: Shippūden, spanning manga chapters 678–700 (Volumes 70–72). It follows Team 7 in a desperate, multi-dimensional war to protect humanity from the original progenitor of chakra, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
The Final Threat
Team 7 (Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi) and Obito engage Kaguya in an exhausting, multi-dimensional war across lava, ice, and high-gravity realms. Obito sacrifices himself to save Kakashi, bestowing him Double Mangekyō Sharingan power. With Obito's Kamui and Sakura's devastating chakra punch pinning Kaguya down, Naruto and Sasuke activate the Six Paths — Chibaku Tensei seal, trapping Kaguya and Black Zetsu into a new moon.
The Final Battle
With Kaguya sealed, Sasuke declares a revolution: executing the Five Kage and taking control of the world. Naruto refuses to let his friend fall into darkness. Their conflict culminates in a world-shattering clash at the Valley of the End, leaving both exhausted and armless—finally breaking Sasuke's cycle of hatred and redeeming him.
