Ep. 343: Naruto confronts Tobi while Kakashi and Guy react to the revelation of his true identity as Obito.

343

Naruto attacks Tobi in Tailed Beast Mode while Kakashi hesitates over the masked man's identity until Guy intervenes. Tobi paralyzes B and Gyuuki with chakra receivers, prompting Naruto to create a shadow clone that charges with a Rasengan while the original prepares a Tailed Beast Ball shielded by the jinchuriki. Tobi escapes the blast, but Kakashi’s clone shatters his mask in another dimension, revealing the question "Who are you?!". Kakashi and Guy recognize the masked man as Obito Uchiha, Minato’s former student who was presumed dead after the Third Great Ninja War at Kannabi Bridge. Flashbacks show Obito’s academy days with Rin and Kakashi, his rivalry, promotion to Chunin alongside Asuma and Kurenai, and the mission where Kakashi lost his left eye and inherited Obito’s Sharingan. Guy informs Naruto of the truth as Kakashi learns Obito faked his death and knew Kakashi failed to protect Rin. Naruto motivates Kakashi and blocks Obito’s Fire Style: Bomb Blast Dance with Kurama’s tails before Madara appears.
