Chapter 595 of the Naruto manga sends Naruto, Kakashi, Guy, and Killer B into a coordinated assault on the masked Tobi, relying on feints and teamwork to breach his defenses until the first hairline flaw finally splits his mask.
Main Characters (5)
Summary
Knowing Tobi's phasing makes direct hits risky, the allies build a plan around feints as Naruto spawns a shadow clone. Naruto drives in with a Super Mini-Tailed Beast Ball, Kakashi has B loft him skyward to ready his Mangekyo Sharingan, and Guy readies his nunchaku rather than close in bare-handed. Tobi's war fan turns aside Naruto's rush, but the pressure mounts once Guy enters, his nunchaku knocking the masked man straight toward Naruto's attack.
Kakashi triggers Kamui to tear away the neck of the Demonic Statue, yet the bleeding, shifting statue somehow voids the effort and leaves him puzzled. Tobi teleports to dodge and bursts from the ground beneath Naruto, who senses the intent and evades. Kakashi charges a kunai with lightning and hurls it, only for Tobi to phase and redirect the blade at Naruto, forcing Kakashi to warp it away with Kamui once more.
Key Events
As the regrouped shinobi wonder how to bring Tobi down, their combined pressure finally tells: a tiny crack splinters across his mask, the first sign that his defenses can be broken.
