Two years after the Fourth Ninja World War and Kakashi Hatake becomes the Sixth Hokage, the moon is falling towards onto Earth and will soon collide. The crisis is caused by Toneri Ōtsutsuki, a descendant of Hamura Ōtsutsuki of the Branch House, who is determined to fulfill his legacy and punish mankind for abusing chakra over a millennia. During the Rinne Festival, as Hinata Hyuga knits a red scarf that Naruto Uzumaki used to wear since childhood, Sakura Haruno offers to help her, but Hinata doubtful while Naruto receive various gifts from everyone, including another scarf. Toneri infiltrates the Leaf Village to kidnap Hinata but failed due to Naruto's intervention, though he manage to get Hanabi, Hinata's younger sister.
Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, Sai and Shikamaru Nara are assigned to rescue Hanabi, after Kakashi gives a special clock to Shikamaru that counts down to doomsday. Traveling in an abandoned village of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, Naruto recognizes the concept of love from Hinata's memory while being caught in a genjutsu and from spending more time with her. Toneri transplants Hanabi's eyes in himself to awaken the Tenseigan that his ancestors sealed over the last millennium and proposes Hinata; she "accepts" his offer, causing Naruto to fall into depression. Back on Earth, the villagers defend themselves and intercept the moon's meteorites, evacuating the civilians from Toneri's genocidal assault, while Sasuke Uchiha returns to protect the village.
After recovering for three days, Sakura reassures Naruto that Hinata truly loves him, and the group approaches Toneri's castle. Earlier, the spirit of Hamura contacts Hinata as the "Byakugan Princess" explaining Toneri has misinterpreted his decree. Toneri refuses to listen then he ruins the scarf and brainwashes Hinata. Invading Toneri's castle, Sakura and Sai secure Hanabi, while Shikamaru holds off Toneri's puppets, Naruto saves Hinata from the ceremony and destroys the Tenseigan altar. Toneri uses the remains to strengthen his power and slices the moon in half as Naruto engages him in Nine-Tails chakra mode. Naruto grasps a shred of the scarf and overpowers Toneri having the moon return to orbit. Taking back Hanabi's eyes, Toneri realizes the truth about Hamura's decree, and decides to stay on the moon to atone his sins. After Naruto tells Hinata the scarf he had earlier belonged to his late mother, they both confess their mutual love and kiss.
