Critical; redefines the conflict as a trans-generational rivalry.

: Hagoromo reveals that Naruto is the reincarnation of his younger son, Asura , while Sasuke is the reincarnation of the elder son, Indra .

The episode ends on a high note with Naruto’s return to the battlefield.

Mixed; fast-paced action followed by a heavy lore "info-dump". 4.4/5 (Community Consensus).
