Naruto Chapter 570: Kurama!!
Naruto's clone pushes out the chakra receiver that controlled Son from inside the four tailed beast and the real Naruto destroys the receiver. Naruto sees that Son's chains haven't disappeared, revealing that the four tailed beast was still being controlled by Tobi. Naruto is angered that Son didn't tell him, surprising Son that Naruto was serious about setting him free. Son explains that the plan was just to stop him and gives Naruto something that he can use. In the real world, Son is pulled back by Tobi, leaving behind the body of Son's former Jinchuuriki. Tobi unleashes the rest of the tailed beasts under his control. Karuma offers Naruto, who is exhausted, to meld their chakra together, promising that he just wants to play or kill time, instead of trying to take over. They bump fists and laugh. With his chakra meld with Karuma's, Naruto asks Killer Bee and Ko to fight with him. Naruto tells Kurama that he is not just a monster fox to him, but also his friend from Konoha. He unlocks Kurama's cage.
