: Rather than yielding to the fox's negativity, Naruto retorts that the beast is simply lonely. He firmly rejects the fox's "help" on its terms, declaring he won't fall for its manipulative power offers again.
: Inside Naruto's mind, the Nine-Tails mocks Naruto’s determination to stop the war alone. It attempts to break his spirit by showing him memories of past hatred and questioning if he can truly shoulder the weight of the entire world's malice.
: While traveling to the battlefield under the cover of night, Naruto utilizes his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode to light the way. Killer B and the Eight-Tails (Gyūki) discuss the danger of this form; since Naruto and the Nine-Tails are not yet friends, the fox continues to consume Naruto's own chakra while he uses its power.
