Full Plot Summary

spoilers

With the battle receding at their end, Sakura Haruno and Shizune depart to assist Naruto and Bee. Elsewhere, Tobi realizes that Naruto is inside the Four-Tails and attempts to have the Gedo Statue absorb them both. Naruto is able to escape Son Goku's body by having him regurgitate due to his Multi-Shadow Clone Technique. Inside his subconscious, Son reveals to Naruto that the chakra rod is stuck at the base of his neck while in Tailed-Beast form and Naruto locates and starts pulling it out, with resistance from Tobi. Kurama silently over serves while recalling Naruto's past achievements by his willingness to never give up and accepts that if Naruto truly wishes to help the Tailed-Beasts from the bottom of his heart, then as he always has, his actions would speak far louder than his words. Finally, Naruto uses a clone in Sage Mode he left inside Son's body to find the exact spot the rod is located in relation to its position outside and uses Frog Strike to successfully push the rod out of the Four-Tails.
