On the Brink of Death

Gaara transports Sakura and Naruto to the Fourth Hokage in order to have Yin-Kurama sealed into Naruto to save him. While being transported, Sakura attempts to heal Naruto. As the Nine-tails` chakra cloak disappears, Sakura discovers that her medical ninjutsu is unable to reverse the effects of the Yang-Kurama`s extraction and resorts to slicing open Naruto`s chest and manually pumping his heart. Meanwhile, Karin, distraught, goes after Sasuke to heal him. As Karin heads towards him, Tobi uses a miniature version of Hashirama`s Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands to stop her. Karin evades the attacks and uses chains to counter it. Tobi impales her with a wooden staff, which shoots out several branches. Karin, however, bites her arm and heals herself. Suigetsu then comes to Karin`s aid with his Water Gun: Two Guns technique. Juugo quickly follows and attempts to grab Tobi, who dodges but is unable to evade Orochimaru, who temporarily paralyses him with a cursed seal. Leaving Sasuke, Madara seals the Ten-Tails into himself and heads towards Obito, pausing for a moment to spit out the Benihisago and Kohaku no Jouhei from his mouth, which land on Lee and Guy, who are retreating with Tenten. When Karin senses ominous chakra where Sasuke is located, she rushes onwards. As Kakashi and Minato prepare to separate Obito and Black Zetsu, Yin-Kurama tells Minato to use his sensory mode. Gaara and Sakura then bring an unconscious Naruto and explain the situation to Minato. Minato tells Kakashi to deal with Obito, with Gaara volunteering to help him, while Minato prepares to seal Yin-Kurama into Naruto. However, Yin-Kurama is instead accidentally sealed into Black Zetsu, who intervenes in the process. Madara arrives at their location, berating Black Zetsu for the delay in retrieving the Rinnegan.

The Two Mangekyo

Now that its master is nearby, Black Zetsu declares that nobody can stop it from handing Madara the left Rinnegan and the Nine-Tails` Yin half, detaching itself from Obito`s body. As Kakashi and Gaara prepare to attack in order to give Naruto the means to survive the tailed beast`s extraction, Black Zetsu finds itself unable to leave Obito`s body, due to him not allowing it to. Obito questions Madara about who he himself is to the older Uchiha, with the jinchuuriki explaining how Obito – as a follower of Madara`s ideals – is Madara, he who wishes to cancel the world created by the Sage of the Six Paths and to create a new one through the Eye of the Moon Plan`s completion. Seemingly giving in to Madara`s words, Obito starts walking towards his ancestor, with Minato trying to attack Madara as Kakashi and Gaara try to stop Obito, only for Madara to effortlessly stop them. However, Obito doesn`t take Madara`s hand, but instead pierces him in the gut, claiming that his current self is the same as the one who wanted to become Hokage – recalling Naruto`s words in the process. Obito goes on to extract fragments of the One-Tail`s and the Eight-Tails` chakra, ordering Kakashi to teleport Naruto and Sakura to the other dimension. After Madara stops Obito from going there himself, Kakashi runs to Obito`s side, with his old comrade commenting on how Kakashi always looks down upon him, remembering the old times in Konohagakure.

Episode 416

The Formation of Team Minato

Obito overhears some shinobi complaining about completing missions with Kakashi and asks them about it. They tell him that Kakashi ignores his team-mates to complete missions no matter what, which conflicts with what Obito remembers Kakashi saying. They advise Obito to be wary of being assigned missions with Kakashi. Leaving the Academy, Obito shares his concerns with Rin. He then comes across Kakashi and tries to strike up a conversation with him, only for Kakashi to leave, telling him not to worry. Obito trains in the rain to catch up to Kakashi with Rin encouraging him in the background. Hiruzen asks Minato to teach Kakashi some humanity. Later, Rin berates Obito for being late to his own graduation ceremony and takes him inside to re-enact the graduation, giving him his certificate and telling him they were assigned to the same team. As Team Minato gathers for the first time, Minato applies the bell test. The team passes, and Minato informs them they`ll start with simple odd-job missions. Obito completes the missions with help from the elderly people he often aids, leading Minato to appreciate Obito`s kindness towards others. Due to Team Minato completing all available D-rank missions, they`re assigned a C-rank mission to escort a group of foreign shinobi carrying a missive. During the mission, Minato notices they`re being surrounded by enemies and orders Rin and Kakashi to go on ahead while he and Obito fall back to take care of the enemies. Obito and Minato engage in battle, with Minato having to save Obito from an attack. Another group of pursuers catch up to Rin and Kakashi`s group. Kakashi tells Rin to go on ahead while he stalls the enemies. One of theirs escortees, however, is hit, and falls down from a bridge into a river. Reaching near their destination, one of the escortees thanks Rin and Kakashi, but the other two reveal themselves as traitors and attack their fellow shinobi. Confident that Minato won`t be able to reach them in time, the traitors prepare to attack Rin and Kakashi.

You

After being attacked by the two traitorous escortees, Minato and Obito arrive to back up Rin and Kakashi, but one of the two traitors escapes. The last escortee asks Minato to ensure that the scroll is real, as two of them were given scrolls. It is discovered that the scroll was a fake and the other escortee that fell had the other scroll. Obito immediately leaves to save the escortee and the others reluctantly follow. The escortee is found by enemy shinobi and is attacked; however, Obito and Kakashi arrive in time to save him. In the midst of the struggle, one of the pursuers grabs the scroll and they retreat. Kakashi leaves, claiming that completing the mission is his nindou. He goes after the group and attacks them. Obito sends a signal to Minato and tells him of Kakashi`s actions, who arrives just in time to save Kakashi and defeats the entire group. Team Minato returns the scroll and completes the mission. However, it is discovered that their team was sent as a decoy and that both scrolls were fake. Another group was charged with delivering the scroll to ensure it wouldn`t be stolen by enemy ninja. In the present, Madara launches two orbs at Obito and Kakashi to get the Rinnengan and the Yin-half of Kurama. Obito — with Kakashi`s help — transports himself to the other dimension. After convincing Sakura of his changed nature, Obito begins transferring the tailed beasts chakra to Naruto. In the real world, Guy arrives in the nick of time, saving Kakashi from Madara`s attack.

The Blue Beast vs. Six Paths Madara

As Orochimaru and his team reach Sasuke, they realise that the unknown chakra signature is that of Kabuto. Since Kabuto has assimilated other people into himself, his chakra signature has become unknown, explaining why Karin could not identify the person near to Sasuke. Kabuto explains that he has decided to save Sasuke, after coming to realise who he was, thanks to the Izanami. Elsewhere, Guy releases the Gate of Wonder, which fails to damage Madara. Knowing that the Seventh Gate failed, Guy realises he must use the Gate of Death, which he knows will kill him. He remembers his time with his father, where he failed to graduate and decided to run 500 laps in order to enter the Academy as an alternate student. However, Guy is unable to finish running 500 laps and ends up passing out while the Third Hokage watches him from the window of the Academy. As Guy apologises to his father only to be scolded for not having faith, Guy becomes frustrated with his father being mocked and attacks two older ninja, only to end up being brutalised. He`s saved from further harm by Kakashi taking out the older ninja. After being saved by Kakashi, Guy watches him leaving with his father.

Papa

A young Guy questions his father Might Duy on being optimistic despite criticisms from other people in the village. Duy reiterated that becoming strong is not about winning or defeating enemies, but protecting something precious. Guy continues his training and frequently sees Kakashi, which inspires him to challenge. However, Duy disagrees Guy`s proposition on challenging Kakashi and suggests to impose a self-rule. Guy follows and exerts his training just not to challenge Kakashi. After hardworking and perseverance, Guy finally graduates from the Academy and start accepting missions. Guy also notices his father taking lousy, low rank missions. Before departing on a mission, Guy overhears a conversation between his father and a jounin which seems to be dissatisfied with Duy`s performance. He also realises that his father`s seemingly under-performance is due to his training on the Eight Gates every night, which Duy passes and trains Guy on using the forbidden jutsu. During a mission, Guy`s team encounters the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Guy felt nervous from the swordsmen, realising the danger it poses until Duy appears and protects his son while using the Eight Gates. Shifting to present time, Guy finally activates the eighth gate. Encloaked in red vapor, Guy advances to Madara to unleash the Evening Elephant.

Episode 420

The Eight Inner Gates Formation

Guy begins his assault on Madara, using the Evening Elephant to attack, however the pain of using the Eight Gates Released Formation causes him to prematurely end the attack. Madara returns to the sky, excited over the opportunity to face a user of all Eight Gates. Kicking the air in order to match Madara`s flight, Guy prepares to use the Evening Elephant again. Minato tells the others they have to help Guy, and gives Lee one of his kunai. As Guy begins his second use of the Evening Elephant, Madara shields his attack with his Truth-Seeking Ball, countering with one of his own. Lee throws the kunai between Guy and the attack, so that Minato can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to send the orbs away. Gaara then lifts Kakashi close to Madara so that he can use Kamui to create an opening in Madara`s defence. Guy lands the final "step" of the Evening Elephant directly into Madara, pushing him through the back of his shield. Despite this devastating attack, Madara stands once again, stating his excitement hasn`t reached this level since fighting Hashirama. Elsewhere, Naruto wakes up and wonders if he has died. However a floating man tells him that he is not. Naruto questions the old man as to who he is, and is shocked to hear that the man is the Hagoromo Ootsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths. Hagoromo tells Naruto of the cycle of reincarnation of the Sage`s sons, Indra and Asura, and tells Naruto of the latter`s lack of ability, especially in comparison to that of the elder brother. When Naruto recognises these traits in himself, Hagoromo reveals to him that he is the reincarnation of his youngest son.
421
Episode 421

The Sage of the Six Paths

Hagoromo reveals to Naruto that he is the reincarnation of his younger son: Asura. He asks Naruto if he can guess who Indra`s reincarnation is, and Naruto correctly concludes it is Sasuke. At the same time, Hagoromo has the same conversation with Sasuke, revealing his status as Indra`s reincarnation, and having him realise Naruto is Asura`s. Hagoromo goes on to explain that Hashirama and Madara are the previous reincarnations, and that by taking Hashirama`s power, Madara recreated Hagoromo`s chakra, awakening the Rinnegan, despite leaving Indra`s descendants instructions against it. Hagoromo explains that his mother Kaguya used her powerful doujutsu to rule over humanity, and that Madara is on his way to acquiring that same power. Hagoromo asks Naruto to stop Madara, who accepts his request. The chakra of the tailed beasts converge, and Hagoromo notes the prophecy he heard long ago has come true. As entrusting only Asura had created so much conflict, Hagoromo asks Sasuke to cooperate as well, and entrusts both Naruto and Sasuke with his powers. Having survived and being impressed by Guy`s Evening Elephant, Madara asks Guy to keep on fighting him, deeming him the strongest taijutsu user he has ever faced. Guy prepares to use his last technique while Naruto and Sasuke awaken. As Guy prepares the Night Guy, Kakashi recalls his father`s accurate prediction of Guy`s potential when they were children. Guy`s powerful kick lands on Madara, through the Shinju, almost killing him. Guy`s body begins to disintegrate and an elated Madara, regenerating from the attack, attempts to finish him with a Truth-Seeking Ball only for Naruto to kick it away, much to his surprise. Naruto touches Guy, stopping his life force from fading. Madara notices a change in Naruto, wondering what Obito did. Naruto declares he feels he can change the world with his new powers.

Konohamaru shows Naruto his improved Sexy Technique, but the boy reveals that he has already created an advanced version of the technique, only to be hit by Sakura for being a pervert. Naruto and Konohamaru then come back to Naruto`s apartment, with the boy putting his old jacket into one of the drawers for safe keeping. After that, Naruto is shown to begin teaching Konohamaru Rasengan, who`s imagining that he`s being taught an advanced version of the Sexy Technique. Naruto then impresses Konohamaru by showing him the Rasengan first-hand and gives him a water balloon, telling him to practice rotation. Soon after that, Gaara is kidnapped by the Akatsuki and Naruto leaves to help him. In the meantime, Konohamaru, not comprehending the rotation aspect of the technique, asks Kiba, Chouji and Hinata to help him out, but to no avail. Deciding to heat-up the sexiness of his Sexy Technique, Team Ebisu goes to Ebisu for some help, thinking that it would help Konohamaru learn the Rasengan more quickly. Taking a few magazines from his sensei, the team takes their leave. Later, using the Transformation Technique to transform into a girl spinning a hula-hoop, Konohamaru, with enough practice, pops the water balloon using chakra and shows it to Naruto, who gives him a rubber ball and tells him to practice power. Having no idea how to do it, Konohamaru, alongside Moegi and Udon, go ask Ebisu for help again. Meeting him in the park, alongside Iruka, all three transform into sexy girls and asks which one, in his opinion, is the most attractive. Ebisu then gives some advice to Konohamaru, which inspires him to use his Sexy Technique to transform into a girl, hiding her breasts and then revealing them, sending Ebisu flying with a bloody nose, in a comedic fashion. Soon after that, Konohamaru begins training again, determined to learn the technique.

Naruto

Tsunade is frustrated that Orochimaru has escaped her grasp again. Shizune informs her that Konohamaru has been learning the Rasengan from Naruto, to which she makes a bet whether he will master it or not. Meanwhile, Konohamaru uses his Sexy Technique to pop the rubber ball, given to him by Naruto. The boy then decides to visit Naruto and show his accomplishment, learning that he has been practicing Wind Release. Konohamaru then shows him that now he can burst the rubber ball, with Yamato and Kakashi flustered by how he does it — using Sexy Technique. Proud of Konohamaru, Naruto creates a shadow clone and tells him to do this next, only for the boy to reply that he can`t. Konohamaru then issues a challenge to Naruto, saying that he will learn the Shadow Clone Technique before Naruto can complete his current step in Wind Release training. After a few failed attempts at the technique, Konohamaru collapses, with Moegi and Udon going to Sakura for some food pills, which she has been giving to Naruto for training. After a few days, Naruto completes his training and Konohamaru loses the challenge. Later, Kotetsu and Izumo inform Konohamaru and Naruto about the death of Asuma Sarutobi and, soon after that, the jounin`s funeral is held. While Naruto fought Kakuzu, Konohamaru managed to learn the Shadow Clone Technique. Konohamaru then begins the final step of the training, with both him and Naruto forming the Rasengan with Tsunade and Shizune observing them. After leaving for Mount Myouboku to learn Senjutsu, Naruto asks Konohamaru to take care of his treasure - his old orange jacket. During Pain`s Assault, Konohamaru manages to use the Rasengan, and with it, defeat Naraka Path. When Naruto returns, Konohamaru reveals that, despite the village`s explosion, he managed to save Naruto`s old jacket, by storing it in the village`s valuables storage in the evacuation shelter.

Madara is puzzled by Naruto stopping Guy`s chakra from fading. Madara defends himself from Naruto`s punch with his remaining Truth-Seeking Ball, noticing an increase in Naruto`s power. With Son Gokuu`s chakra, Naruto creates a lava Rasenshuriken and attacks Madara and the tree with it, dodging Madara`s Limbo: Border Jail. Naruto`s attack severs the tree, which appears to tell Madara to absorb it, which Madara does. Naruto takes Guy to Lee and Gaara. In Kamui`s dimension, Sakura thanks Obito for saving Naruto, and Obito has a request for her. Sasuke frees Tobirama from Madara`s black rods, Tobirama notices a change in him, and Sasuke asks if Tobirama can teleport him. Madara recovers from having absorbed the tree, telling Naruto he can`t be defeated. Naruto picks up one of his father`s kunai, powering up with his own Truth-Seeking Balls, that he would not be alone, as Sasuke appears beside him with a newly awakened Rinnegan. Madara notes he himself possesses both their powers, and prepares to fight. Madara attacks, but Naruto deflects the attack and Sasuke evades it completely. Madara realises they have discovered the working of his Limbo when Naruto and Sasuke ready their jutsu. Madara escapes their simultaneous attack by sacrificing his Limbo, and flies away to steal Kakashi`s Sharingan. Sasuke manages to cut Madara in half, but he manages to warp into Kamui`s dimension.
