Madara joins Obito, casually noting he sent the five Kage against Naruto’s group. He expresses disappointment in Obito’s deviation from their plan after learning Nagato ruined the Samsara of Life resurrection by healing Hidden Leaf ninja. Viewing Nagato as a mere pawn, Naruto attacks Madara with a Super Mini-Tailed Beast Ball. Madara deflects the assault and moves to capture the jinchuriki, leaving Obito to fight Kakashi and Guy. During the battle, Kakashi questions Obito about his condition. This triggers a flashback where an elderly figure, revealing himself as Madara, explains he stitched Obito’s bandaged body after saving him. Madara outlines his goal to unify the world, but an uninterested Obito resolves to reunite with his teammates.
