Just as the Allies thought victory was near, the Ten-Tails transformed into a towering new form, and the Masked Man declared that the Shinobi World had no hope.

• Kiba noticed Ino wearing a red Chakra cloak at the medical camp, and Ino summoned a Katsuyu vastly larger than any Tsunade had seen before.
