Naruto Chapter 563: Gathering of the Five Kages...!!
The five Kages are assembled on the battlefield to face Madara. Tsunade works on healing the Tsuchikage and Kazekage, while the Raikage and Mizukage engages Madara to buy her time. Raikage and Mizukage use a combination of attacks, but Madara is saved by the Susano'o. Meanwhile, Dodai and the fourth Hokage's former guards engage Muu. Naruto asks Tsunade to heal him so he can fight Madara, too, but Tsuchikage tells him that the war is no longer just about keeping Naruto safe. Madara deals a blow, but Onoki and Gaara were able to create a double defense made up of the stone golem and sand shield, protecting everyone. Onoki rallies the Raikage and Mizukage to attack using his plan, creating a mist to confuse the Rinnegan's vision. Onoki uses his technique to decrease the weight of the Raikage, increasing his speed and the strength of his attack, taking down Muu and the Susano'o. Onoki then turns to Naruto and tells him that after experiencing fighting by his side, he believes in their cause as a united Shinobi army more than ever, and that he dreams to create a hate-free world by uniting all the clans. He and Tsunade tells Naruto that they will take care of the real Madara, but that they need him to protect everyone from the other masked Madara. All five Kages tell Naruto to win. Naruto's clone disappears and merges back with his original form. He meets the masked Madara head on.
