Making his way to the battlefield with Killer Bee, Naruto dragged into his subconscious by the Nine Tails and berates the boy if he could even bare the hatred the war will bring. The beast then reminds Naruto of Sasuke and the hatred the young Uchiha bore even as a child the day he and Naruto first met. Taking offense to the beast telling him anything he could do to stop hatred is futile, Naruto pins the Nine Tails down while telling him that he will manage to do something about the ensuing war, Sasuke's hatred and possibly even the Nine Tails' own hatred.
