Warning: Spoilers
Following the Juubi's apparition, Naruto and his comrades are stunned to see the beast on its true form. They were fooled for a moment because they couldn't feel its presence, so Kurama says that the Juubi cannot be detected through bad intentions, the monster is like nature, the mountains, earth, the oceans. Naruto gets in Sennin mode, and what he sees has no way to describe it. Meanwhile, Obito tells Madara that he wants to begin the Tsukuyomi as soon as possible. But the old Uchiha says that takes a time so they can use the moon to project the genjutsu, so intends to use the monster to crush their enemies in the meantime. Obito thinks Madara is like a kid who wants to see the Juubi's power, while the other thinks this of him, because he wants to do everything fast. Anyway, the Kyuubi and the Hachibi start their attack, but are easily thwarted by the monster with one eye. The Juubi launches a powerful dama like a laser, so both Bijuus must cover themselves to resist. Kurama has grabbed Gai, Kakashi and Naruto to protect them. Some tails and tentacles are cut, but soon they begin the counterattack. Kakashi and Naruto are sent flying to the air: the first uses Kamui to send the Hachibi over the Juubi, so both Bijuus throw a dama to the monster's eye. But unfortunately, the shot is deflected with a claw. The monster attacks the Hachibi sending him away, and tries to hit Naruto and Kakashi. The hero pushes him to safety (Kurama takes him), and receives the hit, and disappears (was a clone). For this action, Obito realizes that Naruto is like he was when young. As they retreat, Kurama and Gyuki are energyless so they get back inside their jinchurikis, to rest and recover their chakra reserves. B and Naruto must win as much time as they can. When the protagonist prepares to use more clones, Kakashi advises him not to, as he won't be able to produce an effective strike. Madara belittles him (calling him incompetent), and says they are just a gang. Obito "translates" the message telling Naruto that no matter how many clones, his inner self won't change. Both of them are powerless ninja. And soon, everyone will be like that. When Naruto insists on his dream, Obito tells him not to worry, he will make him Hokage inside the genjutsu. Naruto is left surprised (Was a better solution at this point). Then, the Juubi throws another devastating dama at them. This part of the episode was good, the strategy they made sense. If such beast has a weakness, is the eye. I liked Kurama leading the attack, being called a commander by Kakashi. Anyway, a victory seems impossible, especially if the two Bijuus are out of energy. It's clear that no one can do anything against that beast. That's why Obito and Madara are so confident. From the moment the cheat was showed, the ridiculous story of Ginkaku and Kinkaku (which allowed all this to happen), I knew it was a terrible idea. If the Gedo Mazo seemed unstoppable, this monster is worst. I don't know what Kishimoto was thinking. This is crazy. And what comes next is going to ruin the story even more.

Kakashi, Naruto, Gai and B are saved from a devastating massive huge Juubi dama by the reinforcements of the Allied Shinobi. Seemingly, Ino used her mind transference technique with Obito (who is connected to the Juubi), to deflect the attack. But also, looks like the Hyugas used some kind of shield. Hinata appears, asking Naruto is he is ok. Kiba appears and tells him not to get rude because of her. Omoi and Karui arrive, and go with Killer B. Lee, Sai, and other Konoha shinobis go with Kakashi, Gai and Naruto. Shikamaru and Choji see how the ninjas from Kirigakure create a mist to make them invisible to the monster. When Naruto sees Sakura, he tells her "first than anything...", but she already knows, and goes to heal Kakashi (that's connection, they were thinking the same without saying it). At the headquarters, Shikaku orders Inoichi and Ao to update everyone: one by one, all the teams arrived: Darui's first division, Kitsuchi's second division, the third one, the fourth including Temari (now led by Shikamaru), Mifune's fifth division, Shizune's medic group, and Shee's sensor group. Naruto says that they are not a gang, they have the jutsu of the Shinobi alliance, able to win against the Tsukuyomi. Obito keeps saying they have no chance, there's no more hope on this world, but Naruto disagrees. Madara wants to finish this one and for all, there is no point to discuss during a battle. Naruto tells that on this cases, things are decided by vote. Obito says "great idea", they will do that after exterminating all of them. Each one keeps saying The world is going to end, and not. Then, Shikaku talks to Naruto telephatically with Inoichi's help, and tells that he won enough time for them to make a plan. He couldn't even take a moment to process that Obito Uchiha was behind the mask. Shikaku has realized that they must attack the monster's eye. So, the shinobis from Kumogakure use their lightning techniques to blind the Juubi temporarily, right after the mist is blown away. Still, the scattered mist and the insects helped to this strategy, providing the neccesary way of transmission for the lightning. Then, the ninjas from Suna use wind, and the ninjas from Iwa try to bury the monster underground. The plan is to use lime and water from Kirigakure, heat from Konohagakure, to immobilize the monster, at least for a while, to give the others time to attack Obito and Madara. After all, they are the ones who want to use the Tsukuyomi. Aware that physical attacks can affect Madara, Shikaku ordered the tai jutsu specialists against him. And the medic team must assist the others to attack Obito for more than five minutes. Madara is surprised by how the five villages coordinated such strategy. Obito simply says that the Juubi, who is beginning to change, will destroy them all. Madara says with sarcasm "how pitiful". So, what's left from all this? What's the point? At the end is like Madara and Obito say, all the shinobis can be easily destroyed. If Shikaku knew that they couldn't contain the Juubi for a long time, then why? Madara won't stay like nothing either. Very good plan, smart, but the goal in unreachable. Temari was no surprised that Shikamaru's father could do something like this. Now, I'm wondering, what about the Kages?? If in the headquarters knew about Naruto's battlefront, the discovering of Obito, then they knew that the Kages are almost dead. Why they didn't send Shizune and a team to aid them? Why send so many shinobi to battle a monster more powerful than seven Bijuus? Why Kishimoto wrote all this? Then, the arrival of the friends was cut short again. No time for reunions. First, the way the group was saved, strange and unlikely. Second, Hinata and Kiba's comment, out of Shippuden's context. Third, there should have been more talks, regarding the Kages, how to defeat Madara, something. Was all too rushed. Not even team 7 had a time to analyze. They should have retreated.
