Episode Title:
Amado's Defection
Episode Description:
As Koji and Amado begin their escape, Delta appears but is deactivated by Amado. Koji would then use Reverse Summoning to send the toad carrying Amado to Konoha. At the village's outskirts, Team Moegi is training until Amado interrupts them and is caught by Shikadai's Shadow Paralysis Jutsu. However, Amado disperses it with a Scientific Ninja Tool, knocks Shikadai out, and places a bomb on his neck. Inojin telepathically contacts Ino for Shikamaru, who learns what happened to Shikadai. Moegi returns and restrains Amado while Sai and his ANBU squad surround them but that doesn't stop him from holding Shikadai's life hostage. He is then telepathically connected to Shikamaru, Katasuke, Kawaki, Boruto, Sumire, and Naruto, and wishes to defect to Konoha and share his knowledge about Kara and the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Naruto allows Amado to enter if he is restrained first. Back at Kara's headquarters, Koji interrupts Jigen's rest who then asks for his report. Kawaki reveals to the others of Amado's importance to Kara and Naruto gives his word that he would be protected once he talks. Amado shows everyone the transmission of Koji confronting Jigen, who knew of their betrayal and battles Koji, who reveals that he was created to kill Jigen.
