Obito and Madara

Madara's appearance on the field stuns Naruto, Kakashi, Guy, and B, who fear what his presence means for the Kage. He and Obito speak with unnerving calm, and Madara points out that this Naruto is only a clone. When he suggests the Kage are likely faring badly, Naruto is enraged. Far off, a Tsunade cleaved in two manages to call up Katsuyu, who is alarmed by her state and rushes to reassemble her; Tsunade instead orders the slug to gather the other Kage while there may still be time to save them.

Back at the front, Obito hands Madara his gunbai just in time to swat aside a barrage of black receivers Naruto has launched at the pair. Madara then chides Obito for beginning the plan prematurely, before the Eight and Nine-Tails were secured, calling the move hasty.

Madara pins the manner of his own resurrection on Obito's impatience and demands to know what became of Nagato and the technique that was meant to revive him. Learning they intended to exploit his fellow disciple this way, a furious Naruto strikes with a Super Mini-Tailed Beast Ball, but Madara turns the force back with Uchiha Return and dispels the clone.

Sensing the young Uchiha is working toward some scheme, Madara sets out to capture the Eight and Nine-Tails, leaving Obito to face Guy and Kakashi. Kakashi seizes the chance to ask his old friend what happened to him, and Obito recalls being heavily bandaged and stitched back together in a place a withered Madara described as lying between the realms of the living and the dead.

Published in 2012 and collected in volume 63, this chapter belongs to the Fourth Shinobi World War: Climax arc, with the title given as Obito to Madara. It pairs the two masterminds directly for the first time, using Madara's rebukes to expose how far Obito departed from the original plan.
