The longest battle in the Naruto series is this current final battle of the Fourth Shinobi World War. It is approximately 93 chapters long and counting. While some consider these to be different fights, I do not, as it has been one long continuous battle without changing location or having a break in the fighting. What are your thoughts on this final fight? In order for you to give your full thoughts on it, allow me to provide a complete recap-

This battle began when Naruto and Killer Bee encountered Tobi and the reincarnated Jinchuriki in the forest, and Naruto head butted Tobi. Naruto and Killer Bee proceeded to combat the reincarnated Jinchuriki, which ultimately results in Killer Bee going into his Tailed Beast Mode and obliterating the forest. Tobi responds by making the Jinchuriki go into their first form, with the exception of Five Tails, who went full Tailed Beast Mode. With Naruto and Killer Bee pushed to their limits, Tobi takes the opportunity to capture Naruto. Though he almost succeeds, Naruto is saved by Kakashi and Might Guy, who arrive to help in the battle.

While Kakashi and Guy take on the remaining Jinchuriki, Roshi transforms into the Four Tails and swallows up Naruto. Within Four Tails' conscious, Naruto meets with the Tailed Beast, he reveals his true name to be Son Goku, and tells Naruto how to free him from Tobi's control. Once Naruto manages to free Son Goku, Kurama decides that Naruto is worthy of his assistance, and the two merge their power. As the remaining Jinchuriki transform into their Tailed Beasts, Naruto finally manages to transform into his Tailed Beast Mode.

Naruto and Bee take on the Tailed Beasts in battle, and Naruto manages to use his Sage Mode to free the Tailed Beasts from being controlled by Tobi. With the Tailed Beasts free, Naruto meets within the subconscious of all of them, and learns all nine of the Tailed Beasts names, and also receives some power from the beasts. Returning to the real world, Naruto taunts Tobi, as the latter begins to grow nervous.

After Itachi stops the Edo Tensei, the reanimated Jinchuriki are freed from their prison. With no other options left, Tobi summons the Gedo Statue and begins the Ten-Tails' resurrection by adding some remnants of Gyuki and Kurama's chakras. Naruto, Bee, Kakashi, and Guy continue a slew of attacks, and notice that Tobi's technique is very similar to Kakashi's Kamui. With some interesting maneuvers, Naruto manages to catch Tobi off guard and break his mask, revealing Tobi to be Obito Uchiha.

Shocked at Tobi's identity, Madara arrived alongside Obito. While Madara takes on Naruto, Bee, and Guy, Kakashi takes on Obito in battle. As the battle continues onward, the Ten-Tails is finally revived. As Madara and Obito attach themselves to the Ten-Tails, they take on Naruto and Co. only for them to be overwhelmed. When all help seems lost, the Allied Shinobi Forces arrives and prepares to take on the Uchiha and Ten-Tails in battle.

The fight against the beast is devastating. Among the chaos, Neji and everyone from the Alliance HQ are killed. Naruto shares his chakra with everyone in the Alliance, and they manage to separate Obito and Madara from the beast. As the fight continues, once again the Alliance are drained. Kakashi and Obito enter the Kamui dimension and engage in their own battle. On the brink of death, everyone is saved when the reanimated four Hokage and Sasuke arrive.

The Ten-Tails is pinned down, and Naruto and Sasuke launch a slew of attacks against the Ten-Tails. Meanwhile, Obito loses his fight with Kakashi and returns to the real world, where he becomes the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki. While Naruto, Sasuke, and the four Hokage continuously attack Obito, all of their efforts are proven ineffective. Finally, Naruto realizes only senjutsu is effective against Obito.

As Obito begins being pushed to his limit, he summons the Shinju, and the it begins absorbing the chakra of the Alliance. When all seems lost, Sasuke boasts Naruto's confidence and they engage Obito in battle again. Finally, Naruto, Sasuke, and the Konoha 11 defeat Obito, and begin removing the Tailed Beasts from him. Within Obito's subconscious, Naruto talk no Justus him, and Obito is defeated at last.

When it seems like the War is over, Madara makes Obito revive him using Rinne Tensei. Madara takes in the Tailed Beasts once again, and extracts Kurama from Naruto, almost killing him. Likewise, Sasuke attacks Madara and is stabbed in the chest. Madara becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and flies towards Obito to retrieve his Rinnegan. While this is happening, Kabuto attempts to save Sasuke while Gaara and Minato attempt to save Naruto. Arriving at Obito's location, Madara is betrayed by Obito, and the latter manages to extract some Tailed Beast chakra from Madara. Leaving to the Kamui dimension, Obito saves Naruto.

Guy arrives to the scene, and it is decided that only he can take on Madara. Opening the Eighth Gate of Death, Guy takes on Madara in battle. Meanwhile, Naruto and Sasuke meet the Sage of the Six Paths and receive his power. While Guy does his final attack, he is saved by Naruto, who has been revived.

Naruto and Sasuke take on Madara in battle, before he steals Kakashi's Sharingan and enters the Kamui dimension to take back his Rinnegan eye. Returning, Madara takes on Naruto and Sasuke in combat once more, before he manages to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi. With the genjutsu activated, Madara is betrayed by Black Zetsu and Kaguya is revived.

Naruto and Sasuke continue to battle Kaguya in any of her alternate dimensions. During the battle, Sasuke is separated from Naruto, only to be saved by Sakura and Obito. Later on, Obito is killed by Kaguya, but later returns to give Kakashi both of his Sharingan eyes. After that, the battle still continues, and has not been concluded.
