Even though the Nine-Tails looked almost cute and fluffy in this episode, I was so surprised by how genuinely personal its talk with Naruto about war and hatred felt. It really made me think about all the pain Kurama must have held onto for so long, finally letting a bit of that heavy history surface.

Ugh, seeing Naruto and Sasuke just standing there by themselves in the ring while everyone else played together really got to me. It just reminded me of how alone Naruto always felt as a kid, and it felt extra heavy knowing he was still searching for a connection even with Sasuke right there.

Nine-Tails laid out such a brutal truth about hatred consuming everyone after they lose friends, and for a second there, I felt this heavy dread settle over me. But then Naruto just immediately went and promised to fix *everything*, and it’s just so fundamentally him, that refusal to ever give up on people or hope, no matter how bad it gets.
