What episode is "She of the Beginning" in Naruto Shippuden?
"She of the Beginning" is episode 459 of Naruto Shippuden.
Sasuke and Naruto confront Kaguya in a dangerous new dimension, facing immense challenges as they strive to protect their comrades. Tensions rise as secrets about their identities and the history of the ninja world come to light, leading into a dramatic confrontation.
After being killed by Black Zetsu, Kaguya senses the Yin and Yang chakra in Sasuke and Naruto before flinging them away with her hair. She confirms with her Byakugan that they are the reincarnations of her grandsons Ashura and Indra. Kakashi, preoccupied with Obito's seemingly lifeless body, asks Kaguya of her intentions, but she refuses to answer to an "insignificant ant" like him. Deciding to kill all of Team 7, Kaguya teleports them to a lava-filled dimension with Sasuke summoning his hawk to save himself and Naruto while leaving Kakashi to save the others. Sasuke chides Naruto by saying that they are more important than the others, as only they can seal Kaguya away again. As Naruto saves Kakashi and Sakura, Kaguya kills Garuda with some of her hair needles. Naruto and Sasuke proceed to fight Kaguya before she manages to grab them from behind. As Kaguya prepares to kill them both, Black Zetsu manifests from her arms and begins covering Naruto and Sasuke in order to absorb their chakra. Black Zetsu then reveals that all of ninja history has been manipulated by him and Kaguya in order to ensure the latter's unsealing.
