Key Events

Naruto calls out how Tobi has changed and vows to bring down both him and the second Madara. The mention of the real Madara's revival makes Tobi curse Kabuto, then brush the matter aside, saying it no longer matters whether he is called Tobi or Madara now that the war has begun. Pressed on his true identity, he insists he is nobody, a man who cares for nothing beyond the Eye of the Moon Plan.

Tobi dismisses the world as worthless and full of suffering, certain the two jinchūriki share his view given their lonely upbringings. Naruto counters that having a tailed beast sealed within him was not the misery Tobi imagines, and rejects everything the no one has claimed as lies. As Naruto and B commit to tearing off his mask, Tobi warns they must earn it, and his dead jinchūriki each sprout a single tail while he swears to capture both hosts.
