"Naruto!"
Killer B also undid his Tailed Beast Transformation and rushed toward Naruto.
But before Killer B could reach Naruto, another figure arrived first.
It was none other than the Fourth Hokage, whom Madara Uchiha had smashed to pieces.
After waiting for some time, the Fourth Hokage had finally reconstituted his reanimated body.

Minato was not one to dawdle, so he acted immediately.
He undid the seal inside himself and drew out the nine-tails chakra, preparing to seal it inside Naruto.
