"All right-!! I absolutely can't lose to him either!"
Naruto drew a deep breath, unleashing every last bit of the Nine-Tails chakra within him. A golden Chakra Cloak instantly covered his entire body!
"Everyone! Give me your hands!"
He roared, and countless golden chakra arms extended from his body, connecting to every Allied Shinobi around him!
The warm, powerful Nine-Tails chakra instantly surged into every Allied Shinobi's body, healing their injuries and restoring their stamina!
