Team 7, Assemble!

As the reassembled Team 7 moves to engage, Hashirama Senju alerts the alliance to a fresh volley of Tailed Beast Balls from the Ten-Tails. The first blast strikes the barrier without breaking through. Hashirama then produces five copies of himself: four are set to pry the barrier open so the Allied Shinobi Forces can strike the beast, while the last wood clone squares off against Madara, who scorns fighting anything but the genuine Hashirama.

Once the alliance pushes inside, the Ten-Tails births a swarm of creatures to shield itself. Sakura's thoughts drift to earlier days, when the sheer rivalry between Naruto and Sasuke left her sidelined and drove her to chase after them. Her studies under Tsunade hardened her into a stronger kunoichi and gave her the Strength of a Hundred Seal. Around her, the rest of the Konoha 11 steel themselves to grow, yet Hashirama observes the enemy answering each effort with larger, fiercer monsters.

Determined to prove himself, Sai flies at the Ten-Tails' head and falls short, only for Naruto to pull him from danger. After Sai voices his fears, Team 7 calls up their respective creatures, Gamakichi, Katsuyu, and Aoda, to fight at their sides on the battlefield.

Hashirama warns the alliance of renewed Tailed Beast Ball attacks and splits into five clones, four to open the barrier and one to hold off Madara. The Ten-Tails floods the field with self-made guardians. Sakura reflects on training under Tsunade and mastering the Strength of a Hundred Seal. Sai's solo strike on the beast fails and Naruto rescues him, after which Team 7 summons Gamakichi, Katsuyu, and Aoda to join the fight.
