Naruto still being goofy in that situation and within the same episode facing and accepted his hatred is so good. It speaks a lot that Naruto isn't some dumb MC, he's just goofy and has the wisdom in understanding things.

That prank with the headless statue almost made me jump out of my seat and Yamato was totally losing his mind

Episode Context

Coming off the emotional revelations in 'Killer B and Motoi,' where Naruto gained crucial insight into the jinchūriki experience, episode 245 escalates that understanding into direct action, Naruto's first real attempt to confront and overcome the Nine-Tails within him. This is the critical bridge episode leading into 'The Orange Spark,' where the full-scale battle for control over the Nine-Tails' chakra erupts. Sitting roughly at the midpoint of Shippuden's 500-episode run, this stretch represents one of the series' most significant power-evolution arcs.
