Naruto tries to leave the training hall but is stopped by shinobi guards led by Shibi Aburame. Iruka arrives and attempts to deceive Naruto, yet the youth escapes the cave using Sage Mode. He is restrained by a shadow jutsu while sensing the war, allowing Iruka to continue his persuasion. Iruka presents Naruto's headband and tries to hold him back, but Naruto overpowers the group and departs. Inside the headband, Naruto discovers a letter from Iruka urging him to return alive. Following Iruka's instructions, Bee follows Naruto. The two jinchuriki then destroy the Barrier Corps' invisible blockade. This event occurs during the Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation arc, specifically episode 14 out of 53.
