After being attacked by the traitors, Minato and Obito arrive to back up Rin and Kakashi, but the two traitors escape to regroup. The last escortee asks Minato to ensure that the scroll is real, as two of them were given scrolls. It is discovered that the scroll was a fake and the other escortee that fell had the other scroll. Obito immediately leaves to save the escortee and the others reluctantly follow. The escortee is found by the traitors and attacked, however Obito and Kakashi arrive in time to save him. In the midst of the struggle, one of the pursuers grabs the scroll and they retreat. Kakashi leaves, claiming that completing the mission is his ninja way. He goes after the group and attacks them. Obito sends a signal to Minato and tells him of Kakashi's actions. Minato arrives just in time to save Kakashi and defeats the entire group. Team Minato return the scroll and complete the mission; however, it is discovered that they were decoys and that both scrolls were fakes. Another group was charged with delivering the scroll to ensure it wouldn't be stolen by the traitors. In the present, Madara launches two orbs at Obito and Kakashi to get the Rinnegan and Yin-Kurama. Obito with Kakashi's help transports himself to the other dimension. After convincing Sakura of his changed nature, Obito begins transferring the tailed beasts' chakra to Naruto. In the real world, Guy arrives in the nick of time, saving Kakashi from Madara's attack.
