Full Plot Summary

As the other Allied Shinobi wonder about the Ten-Tails' sudden disappearance, Hinata explains to Sakura that the monster's body and chakra were completely absorbed by Obito who became a Jinchuriki rather than perform the Rinne Rebirth for Madara. With him and Tobirama noting the new threat, Hashirama attempts to pin Obito. However, Hashirama's restraints prove useless against Obito as he destroys the Hokages' barrier with his chakra arms. As Minato tries to call out to his former student, and Hashirama unable to avoid an inpatient Madara, the other reanimated Hokage starts attacking the enemy by using their indestructible bodies to study Obito's power such as his ability to blend multiple chakra natures to produce a multipurpose substance. Minato goes on the offensive trying to exploit Obito's inability to suppress the Ten-Tails, only for Obito to dodge and grab Naruto and Sasuke by their necks. Luckily, Naruto uses his chakra arms to enable Minato to teleport him and Sasuke to safety as Obito begins to suffer the side effects of the Ten-Tails inside his body. Realizing Obito is open to attack, Minato decides to make his move with Naruto and Sasuke following. However, though his consciousness is being ripped apart by the Ten-Tails, Obito uses his memories of Rin and Team Minato to assert full control and assume a new form similar to the Sage of the Six Paths. Now in full control of himself, Obito forces Minato to teleport back after ripping the Fourth Hokage's arm off. But Sasuke and Naruto then noticed that Obito had attached some of the mysterious substance in place of Minato's missing arm, which is about to detonate.
