Obito and Madara (episode)

is episode 344 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.

Summary
An unmasked Obito is joined by Madara, who was assumed to still be battling the five Kage. This leads Naruto to immediately question Madara of their condition. Madara nonchalantly responds that they are "not doing so well". Tsunade, even though bissected, used her remaining strength to summon Katsuyu, saying she could still save the other Kage. As the two Uchiha converse about the progress of their plans, Madara wonders why he was not revived as a living person, to which Obito notes Nagato had betrayed them and used the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique on the Konoha shinobi instead. Naruto attacks Madara, enraged at the fact that he used Nagato. The Uchiha easily counters with his gunbai and attacks. Madara prepares to take on Naruto, leaving Obito to deal with Guy and Kakashi. Meanwhile, Obito recalls his first meeting with an elderly Madara, who had saved him from beneath the boulders. As Madara tells the younger Uchiha of his goals to unify the world, Obito — uninterested — attempts to escape, eager to meet his team-mates once again.

Trivia

 * When Naruto asked Madara about the Kage status, Gaara was not seen on-screen at first. After Tsunade summoned Katsuyu, he was shown just like the other Kage.
