Plot Overview
Naruto, Sakura, Sai, and Yamato were sent on a mission to capture Mukade. They succeeded in located him, however, he was able to send himself back in time before they caught him. He was also able to send Naruto and Yamato back in time as well. Mukade appeared six years before Naruto did. In those six years, Mukade managed to kill the Queen of Rōran and become the minister of the city. Using the Sāra as a "human puppet", he manipulated her into releasing the Ryūmyaku so he could use to power up his puppets and make them into the ultimate weapons. His goal was to conquer the Five Great Nations and the world. Eventually, Naruto came into the past and showed Sara that Mukade was manipulating her. Mukade then tried to kill her and Naruto, but his puppets were destroyed. Out of options, he transformed into his Spider form. Despite being in a stronger form, he was still unable to defeat Naruto, Minato, Shibi, and Chōza. He then fused all his other puppets with his Spider form, becoming a gigantic, unstoppable killing machine. He was easily able to defeat everyone around him, and Naruto failed to kill him several times and was easily swatted away. Eventually, however, Sara managed to seal the Ryūmyaku, thus stopping his regeneration. He was then killed by Naruto's Supreme Ultimate Rasengan.
