Summary

After Sasuke seals the Tailed Beasts, Naruto asks to let them go, saying that they won't cause trouble anymore. Sasuke replies that after he uses them to end the Infinite Tsukuyomi, he plans to eliminate all traces of the tailed beasts, including Naruto, and beckons to follow him. Kakashi tries to go after him, but is still fatigued from the previous fight. Sakura tries one last time to convince Sasuke into coming back to the village, but ultimately results in Sasuke casting a Genjutsu on her, knocking her out immediately.

As Kakashi tries to plead to Sasuke about how much Sakura loves him even after everything he had done, he simply dismisses it and leaves. Naruto tells Kakashi of the promise he made long ago with Sakura before leaving in pursuit. Hagoromo, staying behind with Kakashi and the unconscious Sakura, tells Kakashi about his sons and how he regretted his actions in unintentionally making the two brothers fight. He says that Indra's love for both him and his brother, Asura, turned to hatred and that the same thing has happened to both Sasuke and Madara. He goes on to say that he chose Naruto because he wants to believe that hatred can be transformed back into love and believes Naruto can do it.

Meanwhile, Naruto and Sasuke arrive at a very familiar place. Naruto tells Sasuke that he will never be the Hokage. He reiterates what Itachi told him before: that the Hokage is not chosen by their strength, but by the people. Sasuke retorts that he already knows that, but saying that because he wishes to ignite a revolution, his version of the Hokage will be different from Naruto's view and tells him that he will teach him his meaning on what a Hokage is.
