Quick recap

Obito, now the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, seems unbeatable. Naruto keeps the Alliance standing by sharing the Fox's chakra with everyone, and Minato fights alongside his son. Naruto, Sasuke and the Hokage corner Obito, and Naruto reaches his heart and rips the beasts out of him. Obito has a change of heart, but Madara returns in the flesh, takes the beasts and the Ten-Tails' power and nearly kills Naruto and Sasuke. In a dream, the two meet the Sage of Six Paths, who gives them new powers. Guy opens the last gate and comes close to beating Madara. The arc ends with Madara casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi, trapping the world in a dream.
