After Zetsu reported Konan’s capture, Pain ordered Akatsuki to prepare a full-scale attack on the parallel world, though the Teleportation Gate would take about a month to reopen.

• Yahiko met Sengoku and asked what he meant by claiming that Konan was the New Navy's guest.

Yahiko and Konan met a second Konan, who recognized Yahiko but stayed silent about her origins and tried to protect information about her Parallel World. As Akatsuki prepared to travel through the Teleportation Gate, the second Konan feared Nagato would follow her.

• Yahiko asked the second Konan to join them, and Sengoku agreed to let her stay with Akatsuki at the Navy’s arranged lodging.
• Konan questioned her counterpart and guessed that she came from a Parallel World where something had happened to Yahiko or Nagato, but the second Konan refused to explain.

• At Orochimaru’s secret base in the Parallel World, Orochimaru assigned Yakushi Kabuto to watch the machine as the Teleportation Gate gathered energy and Pain looked on.

Yahiko considered Sengoku’s proposal to fold the New Navy into the Akatsuki, but chose to wait for Nagato’s approval while Konan’s counterpart remained silent. A parallel-world Pain then arrived with the Akatsuki, attacked the city, and unleashed a massive Shinra Tensei as Kizaru approached.

• Yahiko declared that he would become the god who ruled the world, while Nagato struggled to rise; Kisame and Deidara then heard a familiar voice above them.

Kisame defeated and captured the alternate Deidara and Kisame, while Orochimaru and Sasori avoided a confrontation with Konan. Konan later watched Nagato's battle from hiding before Obito Uchiha appeared and promised to lead them toward peace.

• Kisame overwhelmed Deidara and the alternate Kisame with Samehada's blue shark attack, then captured both of them.
• Orochimaru and Sasori faced a wary Konan, claimed they had not finished their objective, and avoided revealing themselves.

• Obito Uchiha appeared beside Konan and declared that he would lead them toward peace as Madara Uchiha.

Law captured the parallel-world Hidan and Kakuzu after defeating them, while Yahiko took over his counterpart’s body and drove Nagato’s group away. Yahiko then offered the captured Akatsuki members a place in his organization.

• Law fought Hidan and Kakuzu, quickly severed Hidan’s arm and head, and wounded Kakuzu with his own Chakra Cannon.

• Yahiko and Sengoku shook hands on Akatsuki’s merger with the Navy, though both intended to outmaneuver the other.
• Obito, accompanied by Orochimaru and Sasori, offered the Navy access to his world in exchange for help replacing Akatsuki, then agreed to join forces against the Land of Water.
• Sengoku and Dragon planned to conceal the newcomers and persuade the Navy’s lower ranks, while Yahiko and Law discussed the Navy’s ambitions aboard the spacecraft.
