Kakashi and his unit prepare a coordinated plan to confront a dangerous group of enemy shinobi with unusual abilities. As the battlefield grows more chaotic, Kakashi is forced to rely on experience, teamwork, and his memories of past battles to steady his resolve.

Anime-Manga Differences Spoiler

Censorship

  • Gari blowing up Tajiki sends blood spattering onto Tajiki's comrade in the manga. The anime cleans the blood out of the shot. (Manga: chapter 522, page 13)

Plot and Content Changes

  • When the chapter cuts to Suigetsu and Jūgo, the manga simply shows Suigetsu freeing Jūgo. The anime fleshes out the moment with a fuller breakout sequence. The manga also draws Suigetsu's clothing as semi-liquid in those panels, while the anime keeps only his body in that state. (Manga: chapter 522, page 11)
