Ep 257. Meeting

In Naruto Shippuden season 5 episode 257, titled "Meeting," we see the continuation of the Fourth Great Ninja War as it gains momentum. The episode opens with a glimpse of Naruto and B trying to outrun the Ten-Tails' massive attack. As they run, Naruto is informed of the current state of the battlefield by his shadow clone. Meanwhile, back at the battlefield, the Allied Shinobi Forces are engaged in a fierce combat with Madara Uchiha and the Ten-Tails.

As the battle wages on, the main focus of the episode shifts to Tobirama Senju, the second Hokage, and his encounter with Orochimaru and the reanimated Hokages. As Tobirama senses the reanimation jutsu's influence over him, he begins to question just how far Orochimaru is willing to go. Orochimaru, on the other hand, is more interested in having Tobirama divulge any intel he has on the Uchiha clan, particularly on the Sharingan.

As their conversation continues, Naruto's shadow clone arrives and informs everyone of the Ten-Tails' attack. The reanimated Hokages decide to follow Naruto's advice and help the Allied Forces in the battle outside. As they head out, Orochimaru quickly takes the opportunity to sneak away and continue his own plans.

As the battlefield gets worse by the minute, Madara Uchiha takes center stage, battling every shinobi in his path. As he gets closer to the headquarters, More Allied Shinobi arrive on the scene, determined to stop him. As Madara continues to press forward, Gaara and Onoki use their sand and rock techniques to attack him. Still, Madara proves to be too strong and manages to fend them off.

In the midst of this chaos, Naruto and B finally make it to the battlefield and take on the Ten-Tails head-on. They quickly realize that the Ten-Tails isn't the only threat, as Madara Uchiha and Obito appear out of nowhere. The three engage in a battle that pushes Naruto and B to their limits.

Naruto is eventually knocked out of the fight, leaving B to face off against Madara and Obito alone. The allied shinobi take this opportunity to launch their final assault on the Ten-Tails. As they attack, the beast begins to transform, assuming its complete form.

Overall, Naruto Shippuden season 5 episode 257, Meeting, is a fast-paced and action-packed episode that continues to build the momentum of the Fourth Great Ninja War.
