With his skills immensely improved over the years, Sasuke begins to attack Naruto, but Sai intervenes. Sasuke keeps the two at bay with his Chidori Current. Sakura decides to charge at Sasuke, but Yamato jumps in front of her, only to wind up being stabbed by Sasuke's Chidori-infused katana. Deep within his conscious, remembering what Yamato told him, Naruto attempts to resist the Nine-Tails's goading before the fox attempts to goad Naruto to using its power. However, Sasuke uses his Sharingan to enter Naruto's mind and stop him from reaching the Nine Tails.
