Here Naruto looks back on his time as a ninja when Sasuke was in his squad and causing him to feel inadequate due to his sharingan. Naruto worked his way up from what Sasuke considered loser to what he considers winner, but from this flashback, it took a lot of time to get to where he is now. 

This is the start of the Fourth Great Ninja War with Kabuto taking the lead under the watchful eye of Madara, but Kabuto has undergone a lot of changes with his appearance; as a result of his use of Orochimaru's cells, he is becoming more snake like in looks and actions and even speech.

Naruto has come far in  his training and now that he has found a new friend in Killer Bee, he also has a partner he can train with, possibly learn from. In the first episode, Naruto has to enter the Waterfall of Truth to battle his inner dark negative self. If he can do this he has the chance to move onto the next step, but as his other self has been through so much, he has to at least empathise with him.
