Ep. 167: Naruto transforms into eight-tailed form while Minato stops him from releasing the Nine-Tails

167

Naruto enters his Four-Tailed form and attacks Pain, who repels the assault. After Pain mentions Sasuke, Naruto advances to a Six-Tailed state. Pain retreats toward Nagato to use Planetary Devastation, a jutsu from the Sage of Six Paths that creates a miniature moon to trap the Jinchuriki. Naruto unexpectedly breaks free, shocking Pain, and transforms into a monstrous eight-tailed state. Inside his mind, the Nine-Tails urges Naruto to embrace hate and destroy everything. Naruto prepares to remove the seal to fully release the Nine-Tails but is stopped by the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
