Full Plot Summary

spoilers

After declining forgiveness to Furido, Sora learns that the former gathered traces of the Nine-Tails's chakra following its attack on the Lead Village 15 years ago (when the Fourth Hokage sealed the Nine-Tails into Naruto) and implanted them on Sora's body, making him a simulated Jinchuriki. Meanwhile, Naruto faints, then Fuka tries to kiss him to steal his chakra and kill him, but she fails because Naruto counters and uses the Rasengan to kill her. Asuma breaks free from the electric barrier and defeats Kitane. Because of this, Furido stops the reanimation of the others. Furido removes the seal containing Sora's power of the pseudo-Jinchuriki, as this is his plan B.
