What episode is "The Ties That Bind" in Naruto Shippuden?
"The Ties That Bind" is episode 364 of Naruto Shippuden.
During a fierce Allied Shinobi Forces' battle, the Ten-Tails transforms and attacks, causing significant upheaval and loss, while Naruto regains resolve to fight against formidable foes threatening their world.
In the midst of the Allied Shinobi Forces' attack, the Ten-Tails undergoes a sudden transformation, repels the attack and escape from the concrete pit. Madara and Obito launches the Tailed-Beast Balls in all directions, including the Allied HQ. The explosion destroys the headquarters, killing Shikaku and Inoichi. Afterwards, Madara outlines his plan to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki to Obito. The Ten-Tails launch a barrage of wooden spikes that kill many of the Allied Shinobi Forces' members, including Neji, who dies saving Naruto and Hinata. Obito proceeds to mock Neji's death, which briefly causes Naruto to contemplate giving himself up to Obito and Madara. However, Hinata begs Naruto to not let Neji's murder go unpunished and this snaps him out of his stupor. The revitalized Naruto then boosts the remaining Allied Shinobi Forces members with Kurama's chakra, vowing that he will kill Obito and Madara for everything they've done. Obito tries to wipe out the Allied Shinobi Forces with a close-range Tailed-Beast Ball, only for it to be repelled by the recovered Bee.
