Summary
As Team 7 stand together, Naruto examines Sasuke's Fire Release and dōjutsu while Sasuke examines Naruto's new form. Wildly impressed by his son, Minato notes that his son was even able to change the shape and the nature of his Rasengan. Kiba exclaims that Team 8 will be going too, declaring they won't lose to Team 7. He then reveals he can create shadow clones like Naruto, who isn't impressed since he only produced one clone. Kiba, stating he still has three times the power, uses the Human Beast Mixture Transformation — Three-Headed Wolf technique with it, and decimates several of the Ten-Tails' clone minions. Evading an attack and moving into close-range Shino punches one, activating the Parasitic Giant Insect — Bug Bite technique using his special kidaichū. Hinata, encouraged by thoughts of Neji and Naruto, finishes the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms on a mini-clone, noting that Naruto has always been working hard and she's always been by his side; activating her Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists she declares that she'd use the two attacks together this time. Team Asuma, not to be outshone by the other Rookie Nine, use Ino–Shika–Chō "Formation E": Human Bullet Yo-Yo, wiping out several clones. Sai, who notes that he's also part of Team 7, makes an attempt at the main body via an aerial strike while flying on his ink bird. When one of its clones starts attacking him, Naruto uses his chakra arms to save him. The Allied Shinobi Forces note that the fight is pointless for the clones continue to multiply and grow. Sai asks Naruto if he can give chakra to the alliance, but he explains he cannot since he has not saved up enough of Kurama's chakra. Sai suggests that it would be best to defeat the largest of the clones, and slip close enough to beat the Ten-Tails itself, but it would be too far to jump at one go. He explains, however, that if they were to suffer severe wounds, the medical group would not be able to make it up front. Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke simultaneously use the Summoning Technique, saying that they fortunately have a solution to the problem. Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke summon Gamakichi, Katsuyu, Aoda, each the solution to one problem.
