Naruto: Shippuden (season 10)/Episode listing/221

With Naruto hesitant to sign Gerotora's scroll, the toad explains to Fukasaku that Naruto must be mentally able to extract the Nine Tails's chakra while separating it from the monster's will.

Naruto, remembering the previous times that Nine Tails took over his body, signs the scroll in hopes to master it so he can fight Sasuke as an equal.

After Gerotora forced himself down Naruto's throat, the youth is instructed by the Great Elder that he will meet the octopus from his prophecy on an isolated island.
