a fight with tailed beasts

John arrives to see Kakashi, Naruto, Killer B, and Guy fighting the tailed beast. so John decides to join in. "John where have you been," Naruto asked when he sees John. "I was fighting the real Madara with Gaara and Temari. until Lady Tsunade and the other Kages told me to come here and help you" John said. "what the real Madara. so you're telling me that guy under the mask isn't Madara. so then who is he." Guy asked. "it's kind of hard to explain" John.

Suddenly Obito forced Rōshi and Utakata to fully transform, cutting John away from Naruto, B, Kakashi, and Guy, ending with the Four-Tails swallowing up John. In an alternate dimension located inside the tailed beast, John meets the beast, "hey you're Son Gokū. right?" asked John. "you know my name do you and how is that," Son Goku asked. "I know your name Because of Matatabi. I'm his Jinchūrik" John Said. After hearing that he is Matatabi Jinchūrik. Son comes to realize that John was different than most humans and truly wanted to help it and its kind. Son tells John he could start by removing the chakra chains that bind it, to which John eagerly accepts.

outside of Goku Tobi pulls Son towards himself with chains intent on absorbing them both. B's still trying to make Son open its mouth and release John. John decides using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to make Son puke him out, which it does. B celebrates it. Son tells John that the chakra receiver in him slid from its chest to its neck because of the full tailed beast transformation. John spots it, enters in his Sage Mode, and sets out to remove it. John tries pulling out the chakra receiver, while a clone he left inside Son enters Tailed beast mode tries pushing it from the inside.

John succeeds in removing and destroying Son's chakra receiver but is upset on learning that Son still isn't free. Son leaves him a gift before being resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Intent on going full-out, Tobi has all the other jinchūriki fully transform into their tailed beasts. meanwhile, Kurama offers to lend Naruto more of its power. Naruto and Kurama meld their chakra, and Naruto notifies B and Gyūki that they still have a lot of power left to use. Gyūki wonders if Naruto and Kurama are cooperating. Naruto acknowledges Kurama as a comrade from Konohagakure, opening the gates restricting.

all of a sudden the tailed beast start creating Tailed beast balls seeing this John enters into tailed beast mode. John and Naruto deflect four Tailed Beast Balls fired against Guy and Kakashi, they both change into a full tailed beast form and begins attacking the tailed beasts, having created a clone each to locate their chakra receivers.

"interesting to think that there was another person with the two-tailed beast inside of them. and inside a Uchiha at that. good thing to know just in case I need the two-tail inside John" Obito said. meanwhile, The four tailed beasts make a collaborative Tailed Beast Ball, which Naruto and John match with one of their own, sending the attacks into the sky. John and Naruto send clones to remove the chakra receivers. Upon touching them, John and Naruto finds themselves in a mental plane, along with Kurama and Matatabi, the other tailed beasts, and their jinchūriki. They talk, all of them introducing themselves to John and Naruto, and telling them about their earlier talk with Rōshi and Son. The tailed beasts each gift Naruto and John with a bit of their chakra

Naruto mocks Tobi and still persists in tearing off his mask, despite Kakashi telling him not to. Angered by Naruto's mockery, Tobi then brings forth the Benihisago and Kohaku no Jōhei, preparing to move forward with his plan. John and the others watch on as Tobi moves forward with the revival of the Ten-Tails. Kakashi wonders why Tobi would bluff because the Two, Eight and Nine-Tails' chakra are still intact, to which Gyūki notes that Akatsuki may have its chakra from its clone. Kurama further notes that its chakra might be present in the treasured tools that the Demonic Statue swallowed earlier. With the situation analyzed, Kakashi is determined to stop the Ten-Tails' revival from being completed, which Kurama agrees. However, the masked man declares that even if the beast's revival is incomplete, the Infinite Tsukuyomi can still be achieved either way. As the group is rallied to fight, Naruto enters his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and attacks the statue

Naruto's attack is countered by Tobi who declares that no one shall hinder the statue. The group then prepares to go all-out. Easily gaining the upper hand against Naruto, Tobi has a harder time as Guy, who took out a pair of nunchaku, joins the fray. Amidst the clash, Guy is able to create an opening for Naruto to land his attack. As Tobi is distracted, Kakashi uses Kamui and aims for the Demonic Statue; however, it nullified the attack, much to his confusion. As Naruto fails to land his attack, he is separated from the others and now has a harder time holding his own against Tobi. Rushing to Naruto's aid, John launches a lightning-imbued kunai at Tobi, however, the Tobi changes its trajectory at Naruto instead. Kakashi uses Kamui in time to warp it. Just as the group exclaim Tobi is too strong, a slight fissure appears on his mask. Frustrated, Tobi erects a barrier around the Demonic Statue, preventing B from landing a fatal blow. Analyzing the masked man's abilities, Kakashi asks the group to aid him in testing his theory. After putting the plan in motion, Kakashi realizes that Tobi is only using a single technique. Having explained Tobi's abilities to the group, Kakashi reveals that their techniques lead to the same dimension. Kakashi asks Tobi where he got the Sharingan from, to which the latter tells him that he got it from the battle at the Kannabi Bridge, much to Kakashi's disbelief. As Tobi states there is no more hope for the world, Naruto rejects his views and Kurama — who switched with its jinchūriki — declares that the Fourth Hokage sealed it inside Naruto to take him down. With that, the Nine-Tails commands Naruto to charge. Now wearing a new version of the form, Naruto then charges forward, ready to take Tobi down once and for all

Meanwhile, a hesitant Kakashi is in disbelief of the masked man's identity but Guy ultimately snaps him out of it. As the battle rages on, a defiant Naruto informs Tobi that he isn't alone, not when he has Kurama, Killer B, Gyūki John and Matatabi as well as Kakashi and Guy by his side. This prompts Kakashi to fight and now, Kakashi joins in with Guy helping him. Tobi unleashes a shower of gigantic chakra receivers, paralyzing both B and Gyūki. Naruto creates a shadow clone and it charges forward with Rasengan while the original Naruto and John prepare a Tailed Beast Ball with Gyūki providing cover. As Naruto and John launches the technique, Tobi simply phases through and with that, fully enters the other dimension. There, he notices the clone from earlier and realizes that Kakashi did not just teleport the Rasengan but the clone itself. With little time to react, Tobi is hit by Naruto's Rasengan; his mask shattered into pieces. Watching on, Kakashi and Guy are shocked to see that the masked man is their former comrade, Obito Uchiha.

"Who is that" Naruto questions, to which Guy responds "he is their former comrade who was supposedly killed in action during the previous war". In response to Kakashi's question, Obito explains that what he did up until now is because he let their former team-mate, Rin Nohara die. Naruto motivates a devastated Kakashi as Obito's plan to conquer the world needs to be stopped. Obito attacks the group with his Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance technique but Naruto intercepts with Kurama's tails. Just then, Madara appears alongside Obito, much to the others' surprise. who was assumed to still be battling the five Kage. This leads John to immediately question Madara of their condition. Madara nonchalantly responds that they are "not doing so well". Naruto attacks Madara, Madara easily counters with his gunbai and attacks; his fan triggering a beam of light that sends Naruto flying back, revealing that the Naruto who had attacked Madara was, in fact, a shadow clone. Madara prepares to take on Naruto and B, leaving Obito to deal with John, Guy, and Kakashi.

Kakashi questions his old friend about what happened to him. Meanwhile, Naruto declares to Madara that he is the Fourth Hokage's son and would not be overpowered by him. Madara then creates an enormous wood dragon, forcing Naruto to enter Tailed Beast Mode. Kakashi asks Obito why he chose to follow Madara's path, but the former notes he has nothing more to say to him. Continuing their battle, Obito executes an attack with many shurikens but is stopped by Kakashi's wall of earth. As Obito slips through the wall, Kakashi continues to ask him if the reason was related to Rin, to which Obito sharply retorts telling him to be silent. Obito then warps Kakashi to the other dimension, but Kakashi soon returns with the same technique. In the meantime, the Wood Dragon begins absorbing Kurama's chakra, causing Naruto to go on the verge of a breakdown. Hearing Naruto's words that he would protect his friends, Kakashi and Guy both spring into action with the Kakashi using Lightning Cutter to destroy Obito's other shuriken and Guy using Daytime Tiger to attack Madara. Gyūki then decides to attack the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path before the Ten-Tails could be revived when noticing the crack of the barrier. Naruto and Killer B both combine their massive sphere, firing the Demonic Statue far away. After the explosion, they note that the statue's chakra had vanished, causing them to question whether this is the end. However, when the smoke clears, the revived Ten-Tails appears, prompting Obito and Madara to begin their plan.

Naruto is confused at first over not being able to sense the Ten-Tails, so Kurama tells him that the Ten-Tails is akin to natural energy, prompting Naruto to stagger when he senses it in Sage Mode. Madara and Obito take command of the Ten-Tails and discuss whether they should move their plans along or test its power. Kurama develops a strategy against the Ten-Tails, resulting in a gamble with a Kakashi releasing B from Kamui's dimension right in front of the beast to target its eye, but it simply flicks the Tailed Beast Ball right back at B. Running low on chakra, B and Naruto revert from their Tailed Beast Modes. Naruto moves in to create more shadow clones but ends up discussing ideas with Obito. Obito has the Ten-Tails fire a Tailed Beast Ball at them, which misses due to the timely arrival and intervention of Ino, Hinata, and a few others. Several Aburame and Kirigakure shinobi disrupt sensing and conceal the battlefield. The rest of the Allied Shinobi Forces arrives at the battlefield, revealed as the Ten-Tails swipes its tail to blow away their cover. Naruto boldly claims that the Allied Shinobi Forces Technique is more powerful than the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Remaining unimpressed by their swollen numbers, Obito argues with Naruto some more, during which time Shikaku relays the Alliance a strategy through Inoichi's telepathy. The Alliance sequentially binds the Ten-Tails, sinks it into the ground, and binds it with a quick-drying mixture of water and quicklime. Madara notes the good coordination from shinobi from different countries. Shikaku instructs the Alliance to cooperate with Naruto in exploiting the limits of Obito's intangibility, and taijutsu-capable shinobi to attack Madara. As their assault begins, Obito and Madara note that they cling to hope that doesn't exist as the Ten-Tails begins changing.

Just as the Allied Shinobi Forces are about to strike the two Uchiha and the Ten-Tails, the pair uses the beast's power to blast all the attackers away. Madara notes that their strategy to eliminate the brains of the enemy is a fundamental one, and uses the Ten-Tails to fire its Tailed Beast Balls at seemingly random targets. Shikaku attempts to convey to Kakashi his next plan to stop the Ten-Tails. However, Ao detects a Tailed Beast Ball flying towards the HQ, leaving Shikaku and Inoichi to communicate their last act to the whole force as well as saying their final goodbyes to Shikamaru and Ino. and Inoichi tells John to take good care of Ino.

With the Allied HQ destroyed, Madara states that the Ten-Tails is becoming difficult to control. Becoming a jinchūriki will allow greater control over the beast but needs a living body to succeed, not a reincarnated corpse. Only Obito can perform the technique to fully revive Madara, and so the Madara allows Obito to make the next move. Wanting to demoralize Naruto, Obito fires numerous wooden spikes against the Allied Shinobi, inflicting many casualties. Neji, Hinata, and Hiashi attempt to protect Naruto from the Ten-Tails' attacks but a focused attack on Naruto forces Neji to act as a human shield to protect both Naruto and Hinata. but John jumps in front of Neji and uses his swords to block the attack. Obito attempts to convince Naruto that deaths of many Allied Forces that his words and ideas were meaningless which prompted Kakashi's worries even more, Meanwhile, a fully recharged B entered Tailed Beast Mode, charged towards the Ten-Tails, making it ingest its own Tailed Beast Ball. It successfully exploded and allowed the others to gain time. With levels recharged, Naruto and John enter back into beast mode as well as John giving Hinata some of his chakra.

Everyone at the battlefield notices the chakra cloak surrounding Hinata. John creates a few shadow clones and begins distributing Matatabi's chakra to every member of the Allied Shinobi Forces, each one gaining the same chakra shroud. The Ten-Tails tries attacking but is countered by Hinata's newly-empowered attack. Obito sends more of attacks with other tails, but they're blocked by enlarged Akimichi. Ino and Shikamaru remember their fathers' last words and proceed with their strategy. Ino takes control of Obito again to redirect an attack aimed at Chōji, while Shikamaru and other Nara bind the Ten-Tails with their shadows, Madara aids Obito by breaking Shikamaru's hold of the Ten-Tails, but their next attack is foiled by a barrage of attacks. The Alliance is surrounded by the Ten-Tails' tails John cuts through a couple tails with a Rasenshuriken, and the Alliance moves as one towards the Ten-Tails. and {naruto throws a second Rasenshuriken, which phases through Obito, but severs his connection to the beast, Lee doing the same by kicking through Madara. The two retreat. all of a sudden John is transferred away from the battlefield
