The ship is caught in a storm and Naruto uses four shadow clones to protect the ship for a prolonged duration of time to the clones' dismay. After the storm and being knocked out from when a pulley snapped, Naruto wakes up to find his clones acting differently and demanding better treatment. However, Naruto's refusal forces the clones to mutiny, taking him hostage while forcing Yamato and the others to land on a nearby island until their demands can be met. After a series of botched rescue schemes, Guy attempts to have Naruto understand the four clones by seeing them as embodiments of his own personality. But Naruto still refuses and resorts to summoning more shadow clones as a means to defeat them only to be restrained by his reinforcements as well as the four clones. They decide to replace him after killing him and approach. Naruto blinks into a reality and learns it was a dream from one of the Naruto clones that transmitted itself to the real Naruto when he sacrificed himself to save the original from being hit by the pulley. This makes Naruto realize the worth of his clones and he releases the remaining three.
