Naruto and Killer Bee are stopped by Tsunade and Ay while traveling to the battlefield. Naruto argues with Ay about supporting his friends, defending his father Minato Namikaze against Ay's insults. Ay attempts to kill Naruto, but Killer Bee intervenes to save him. The two Jinchuriki reconcile, recalling their past where Bee became Ay's brother after passing the Double Lariat test. They reflect on their shared missions and Ay's advice from Bee's cousin before Bee became the Eight Tails Jinchuriki. Later, they encounter Minato. Ay attacks, but Minato evades and targets Ay's back. Bee saves Ay with a tentacle. As the Leaf group retreats, Minato praises Bee.
