I think the person who has directed the Fight Sequence should get a Standing Ovation... What a fight...!!! Displaying the young Kakashi and Obito Fight along with the Current Kakashi Obito... makes anybody get Goosebumps !!! :D I think this fight sequence should be in the TOP 3 FIGHT SEQUENCES of NARUTO Series... But I truly believe the best one is Guy Vs. Madara Uchicha :D . I think the person who has directed the Fight Sequence should get a Standing Ovation... What a fight...!!!

Warning: Spoilers
This was an episode with some decisive moments. Two parts can be distinguished. Sasuke and Naruto differ on how to deal with the Juubi, as the Uchiha wants it to burn in black flames, while the protagonist wants to recover the Bijuus. Sai sees this and asks Jugo what's Sasuke real goal. But Jugo doesn't know. Then, he approaches Sakura, and tells that he doesn't know well Sasuke, so he doesn't trust him. He asks her what she thinks. She says she is glad that he returned, she trusts him, but then Sai notices the fake smile. Shikamaru, who is aware of everything, is disturbed, but doesn't tell what he thinks to Ino. Then, the monster releases its burning part, protecting the rest of the body from the black flames. In the meantime, Katsuyu updates the recovered Kages about the current situation. They resolve to go fast to the battlefront flying with Gaara's sand. This part showed how old wounds were not forgotten. Naruto realized that Sasuke doesn't share his goals, je doesn't care about the Bijuus. Team 7 was never reborn, because they are not on the same mission. Each one has different ways and goals. Then, Sai's remark was important. He makes it clear he doesn't trust Sasuke. Sakura doesn't trust Sasuke either, looks like she was just pretending. She knows very well that he tried to kill her, and would have done it, she never forgot. She may have been happy for a brief time, team 7 reunited, a short fight together against the same enemy, but the fake smile reveals what she thinks. She won't get to discuss with Sasuke given the fear. But also, she trusts Naruto to intervene. As long as he is there close to her, she know she'll be safe. Shikamaru has a similar thought, yet he will be the last to accept Sasuke. He is paying attention, silently. About the Kages recovery, I think is kind of miraculous. The battle with Madara deserved a different ending, at least one of them should have died. Now, with the four revived Hokages, the situation is different. I didn't like also that Orochimaru was the one to help them. The Alliance should have sent a rescue team, led by Shizune. For some reason, all the persons in the battlefront seemed oblivious to the Kages fate, their leaders. That was a plothole from Kishimoto.
The second part shows the fight between Kakashi and Obito. Done with genjutsu, Kakashi realizes he can't say nothing else to change his old friend. He decides to kill him. Obito doesn't doubt either, so an incredible sequence fight begins, while at the same time, is shown a fight the two had as young, watched by Minato and Rin. During the sequence, Kakashi thinks how the old Obito resides in Naruto, who will never forget who he is, lose his way. Obito thinks that soon everyone will be like him. After a while, the fight as young ended with Kakashi as winner, but Obito made the reconciliation sign, accepting the result. In the present, Kakashi swears to protect the old Obito. At the end, both end up stabbing one another, Kakashi with the Raikiri on the center, while Obito on the right side with a steel. Both result injured, blooded, and Obito says that he may have won the battle, but not the war, and uses Kamui to return the real dimension. Kakashi is left alone, silent, wounded, with nothing else to do. Meanwhile, Madara has defeated Hashirama's clone. In the moment Obito appears injured, the Uchiha decided he doesn't need him, and sends his will through Black Zetsu, to posess his right side. Madara intends to make him perform the Rinne Tensei to revive himself, while Obito remembers Rin. Hashirama realizes what's happening, and sends Naruto and Sasuke to stop Obito. Hr also makes a few clones to deal with Madara. Tobirama makes two clones, while Minato understands that the masked man is over the Juubi. Sasuke rushes towards the Juubi, and orders the serpent Aoda to disappear. Obito remembers his team days, and when Minato encouraged him to never give up with Rin, and become Hokage. And at the same time, Minato uses a clone to teleport to the masked man's location, slashes him, and finally realizes was Obito. He reminds him that the seal of Hiraishin never disappears, and tells that he'd have liked him to become Hokage. Obito recognizes his sensei, and falls. Sasuke arrives, and thinks that now only remains Madara, and the monster, but Obito surprises them saying how they can be sure. The Juubi begins to convert, so Naruto rescues his father and Sasuke. Then, the process continues until Obito is turned into the jinchuriki of the Juubi, while Madara simply says he failed. This part was good done, but especially the sequence battle between Obito and Kakashi. Was emotive to see the fight they had as young, and how good Obito was back then. He could fight well, and had great moves. He was a good loser, and held hope, having a gentle, compassive sensei like Minato. The animation was very well worked. That's why seeing Minato killing the present Obito, before knowing that he was the masked man, was great. Honestly, if Obito would have died that way, wouldn't have been a bad idea. A perfect end. Also, Minato didn't seem regretful after stabbing Obito, this tells he has the necessary strength to finish an enemy, even if he used to be a friend. Naruto should learn from his father. Then, black Zetsu brief appearance raises questions about him. What is him? Madara called him his will, like a weak form of himself, but it's hard to understand. To finish, the idea of Obito becoming the jinchuriki will bring a long streak of episodes regarding his battle and return. I preferred Madara as the main villain.
