As the newly reformed Team 7 mobilizes to battle, Hashirama first warns the Alliance due to Ten Tails' another round of Tailed Beast Ball attack. The ball launches to the barrier but is unsuccessful. Hashirama creates five clones of himself, four of them will open the barrier creating an access to the Alliance for making attacks on the Ten Tails. The other wood clone confronts Madara who is unfazed and demanding for the real Hashirama to fight him because using a clone is not "fun". As the Alliance goes inside the barrier, Ten Tails creates an army of monsters to defend himself from the attack. Sakura recalls her previous missions as she thought she is being left out due to the immense competition of Naruto and Sasuke and pursues to become capable like them. Her training with Tsunade made her stronger and learned one of Tsunade's jutsu to amplify her strength. Back on the battle with the monsters of Ten Tails, Teams 8 and 10 make resolve for themselves to become stronger as well but Ten Tails constantly creates bigger and powerful monsters which Hashirama notes. Sai, who is also determined to become capable and stronger, decides to attack Ten Tails' head by himself but is unsuccessful and quickly saved by Naruto. Sai discloses his worries about having to cover too much ground between the alliance and the main body of the Ten Tails, and in response, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura summon Gamakichi, Aoda and Katsuyu, respectively to help on the battlefield.
