When Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi arrived, Tsukino sealed their chakra again and fought them. After her defeat, her mask was broken and her face was revealed which cause Naruto shocked as he knows her. As Naruto tries to talk to her, she didn't respond to him because of the Jibakugan.

After Naruto chased Tsukino, Shinga commanded Tsukino to attack Naruto. As Shinga left with Dōshin and Hakui, Tsukino sealed the chakra from Naruto along with Neji and Tenten and attacked them.

Naruto breaks the spell by using the perfume when the Jibakugan reacted to the scent after Naruto can't defeat her. After she's back to normal, Tsukino guides Naruto and his team to Tsukigakure.

While Kakashi and Sai are fighting against Dōshin, and Sakura is healing a boy Tsukino knows him, she breaks down into tears, realising that it was her fault because of Shinga.

Tsukino uses her fūinjutsu on Shinga to seal his chakra, allowing Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha to defeat him. After Shinga's demise, Tsukino returns to being the leader of Tsukigakure with no more regrets due to being inspired by Naruto. In the end, she believes that Naruto is the hero in Tsukigakure's legend.
