Summary

With the seal's gates thrown open, Naruto takes on an entirely new shape. There is no room to hesitate, since the enemy beasts are lining up Tailed Beast Balls at Guy and Kakashi, so Naruto swats the blasts aside with such blinding speed that Kakashi briefly takes him for Minato. When the creatures regroup for another volley, Naruto shifts fully into the towering Kurama, seeming to draw Guy and Kakashi inside the fox's chakra to keep them safe. He spins off a clone, and although Kurama warns that a first-time transformation likely buys only five minutes, Naruto answers that the window is more than enough.

He hurls himself at the Seven-Tails in the air, meaning to slam it down onto the Three-Tails, but the giant turtle rolls clear. Before he can follow up, the Six-Tails clamps onto his hand and holds him fast, opening the way for the Three-Tails, whose blow is turned back by the Eight-Tails. Undeterred, Naruto flings the Six-Tails into the onrushing Two-Tails while B contends with the Five-Tails. His clone, now in Sage Mode, reports that it has pinpointed every chakra receiver studding the other beasts. Naruto then watches the enemy creatures gather a combined Tailed Beast Ball and, alongside Kurama, begins charging one of his own to blunt the impact.
