Naruto somehow pulls of a Simon/Kamina scene from Gurren Lagann. By himself.
“Don’t believe in me, believe in me who believes in me!”
Naruto was suppressing all of his anxiety, anger, and fear instead of confronting it, which gave the Ninetails a way into his mind when he borrows its chakra. He faced of his dark doppelganger at the waterfall, and won by accepting that part of himself, and believing in his ability to be the man he wants to be, a Hokage candidate that the village can be proud of.
With the help of Bee and Motoi, he’s now carefree enough to draw on the power of the Ninetails without going on a rampage in the process. He still has to confront the Ninetails before he can control it like Bee, though.
What a crazy power-up! With the way Naruto and Sasuke have been picking up new powers, they’ll probably be shooting planet-busting ki bursts by the time they fight again, and destroy the world. It’s okay though, Pain will just use his 7 Dragonballs to wish everybody back like last time.
