History
With the separation of the Great Battle Regiment into five distinct detachments, those in the Fifth Division gather together in a linear formation and begin to converse between themselves, where Kiba Inuzuka anxiously anticipates an increase in his reputation, causing him to be berated by both his sister and Shino Aburame. It is only after Gaara concludes his heartfelt speech, does the entirety of the Allied Shinobi Forces finally begin to manoeuvre into their respective positions in preparation for battle.

Intermittently dividing themselves from the army's main component, the Fifth Division manages to disperse itself along the whole length of the Land of Lightning's peninsula, where after receiving information on the underground movements of the White Zetsu Army, a segment of the division is ordered to assist the Second Division in launching an attack. The deployed platoons quickly rendezvous with the desired division, before immediately conducting a joint assault that decimates a substantial proportion of the Zetsu clones. However, as a seemingly unending number of durable clones continue to emerge, the conflict quickly descends into one of attrition, tiring much of the Allied Shinobi Forces and allowing thousands of the clones to proceed without hindrance.

Informed of Shikaku Nara's revised strategy that better reflects the confrontations current developments, by Inoichi Yamanaka's Intelligence Division, Mifune rapidly relocates to provide support to the overwhelmed divisions, accompanied by a considerable portion of his own detachment.

Arriving in support of the First Division, Ino Yamanaka and a significant faction of her own unit, combine their efforts in the engagement with separate detachments from both the Second and Fourth Divisions. Upon receiving further instruction thanks to her father's technique, Shikamaru Nara coordinates a formation involving Ino and Chōji Akimichi, in order to combat a six-tailed Kinkaku. Shikamaru then exploits Chōji's distraction to momentarily bind the desired target, allowing Ino to successful manipulate Kinkaku into uttering the intended response, resulting in his capture within the Kohaku no Jōhei.
