Disonasu's true scheme comes to light as he raises the Ama no Hoko, unleashing a storm across the Land of Fire while Naruto battles a clone that keeps growing stronger with the tower's stolen power.
With the Saezuri exposed, it becomes clear that Disonasu hired Kabuto to exterminate the people of Tonika Village. Dokku tries to strike him but is halted by a reanimated puppet and pinned by a resurrected Takigakure ninja. Disonasu mockingly praises Naruto for defeating Pain, the one who had scarred him and stripped away his strength, then kicks the boy again and again. Miina and the orphans bring the iron bars to the Hole, only for Kabuto's clone to cut them off. The remaining Konoha 11, with Kakashi, Shiseru, Yamato, and Sai, move toward the site.
Slotting the last iron bars into place, Disonasu begins summoning the buried power as Naruto enters Sage Mode. Miina hums along, the Saezuri answers, and the platform beneath Naruto, the Ama no Hoko, lifts out of the ground. Kakashi arrives and lays bare Disonasu's history as a bloodthirsty killer and former Akatsuki underling whose craft is summoning, having studied the Impure World Reincarnation alongside Orochimaru. Kabuto calls out his puppets, the Nine-Tailed Naruto Clone, Hidan, and Deidara. Naruto squares off with the clone while Deidara's Explosive Clay creates chaos, Hidan turns his ritual on Team Asuma, and Sakura is bound by the reanimated Hayate.
As Yamato pins Disonasu, the traitor triggers the Saezuri once more, draining the lake as an obelisk climbs and a storm gathers. Hidan's cloned body crumbles once the short-lived snakes composing it give out, and Deidara is puppeteered by Kabuto to flee Kakashi. The tempest swells toward Konoha, forcing Tsunade outside as it blankets the Land of Fire. Naruto tries to keep Disonasu from climbing the tower, only to meet his clone again after it drinks in the structure's power and warps into a hydra-tailed fox monster.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

Naruto built the transformation jutsu himself, and the Hidden Leaf has been quietly not talking about it ever since. The story behind our 90s R&B record about the Naruko question everybody dodges....
