Quick recap

Madara returns to life and takes on the five Kage. Naruto and Killer B fight the masked man, and the mask comes off: behind it is someone from Kakashi's past. Itachi and Sasuke team up against Kabuto; Itachi shuts down the Reanimation and shows his brother his memories before he goes. The Ten-Tails awakens, and Neji dies protecting Naruto and Hinata. Sasuke revives the Hokage to learn Konoha's history and decides to protect it. The four Hokage join the war, and Team 7 fights side by side again. The arc ends with the masked man sealing the Ten-Tails inside himself and becoming its jinchūriki.
