The Fourth Raikage bars Naruto and B from the war, but Naruto's tribute to the parents who shaped him wins the Raikage's respect, while Tobi assembles reincarnated jinchuriki for a plan nearing completion.
Unmoved by the memories B tries to show him, the Fourth Raikage stands firm against letting either Naruto or his brother reach the battlefield, blocking Naruto while deflecting B's assault at the same time. He calls on Tsunade to back him and is stunned when the Hokage instead sides with the two jinchuriki. B eventually fells him with a Lightning Release: Lariat, and as his brother pleads their case, A recalls the words once spoken by his cousin. Turning to question Naruto himself, the Raikage listens as the young man speaks of everything his mother and father did to bring him this far, naming the two of them the twin suns that lit his path.
Undeterred, A knocks B aside and drives his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its peak for another strike, only for Naruto to slip past him entirely, earning the right to press on now that the Raikage is satisfied with how far he has grown. At command headquarters, Shikaku, Mabui, and a Katsuyu clone comb through their gathered intelligence in search of a countermeasure for the White Zetsu Army. Far away, Tobi readies his own take on the Six Paths of Pain using the reincarnated jinchuriki, remarking that his scheme is close to bearing fruit.

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....
