There's no much to say about this episode. For one side, Gerotora explains that if Naruto tries to open the seal, not only the Kyuubi's chakra, also his mind will be unleashed. And usually, like the time Jiraiya was injured, the Kyuubi dominates Naruto's will and attacks everyone around. A flashback is shown with Naruto and Jiraiya, when the latter decided to follow Minato's will and try to let Naruto control the Kyuubi. This obviously failed as Gerotora knows. Then, Naruto remembers the two other times he unleashed the Kyuubi's power, vs Orochimaru, and vs Pain. The first time he surrendered almost without realizing, and because Sakura ended hurt, he agreed with Yamato to never use it again. But the second time, he willingly gave up and let the Kyuubi take control, after seeing Hinata's apparent death. Anyway, he felt safe when his father restored the seal. Now he knows he can't keep running away, and decides to try, he will need the Kyuubi to battle Sasuke. He signs the key, and then allows Gerotora to enter inside him. At the end, the Great Old Sage Toad tells Naruto about the island where he'll meet the octopus, seemingly a tropical paradise. This part was the best of the episode, but still, wasn't as good as others. For some reason, the flashback with Jiraiya wasn't as emotive as before, maybe because nothing new is showed. The time to add memories of him already passed. The rest, was predictable overall.
About Kabuto, he murders shinobis from Konoha, and leaves on purpose a trail to Anko and her team. He is now half a white serpent and half human, as he has evolved taking Orochimaru's cells. He finally ends up at Obito's hideout, and tries to join forces with him for the upcoming war. Obito doesn't trust him, and is reluctant even when he sees that Kabuto collected bodies to ressurrect with Edo Tensei to Kakuzu, Nagato, Sasori, Deidara and Itachi. Obito only agrees when he sees the body of Madara Uchiha. He is shocked, but then praises him for his game, and grants his request. Anko's team detects the enemies at the hideout, so she wonders why Kabuto is allowing them to know his location. This part was good because of Anko, she deserved some appearances and not turn into a forgotten character. Then, the idea of Kabuto joining forces with Obito is not bad, but the Edo Tensei is unnecesary. Besides, how did he get ADN samples of Itachi if he was supposedly at Akatsuki's hideout? Or what about Deidara, who vanished himself on a big explosion? And considering all the resurrected persons during the war, the idea ends up being incoherent, and repetitive by showing characters which already had their time.
