Kakashi, Guy, and Yamato saw that Ingetsu’s Leaf Village had been restored and learned that the Uchiha treated captured Medical Ninjas well.

• Kakashi, Guy, and Yamato reached the restored Leaf Village aboard the Flying Fortress and recognized its familiar districts and landmarks.

• Deva Path Pain used Shinra Tensei to hurl Matatabi from the cliff, then grabbed Yugito Nii and threw her into the forest.

Killer B intervened when Pain’s forces attacked Yugito Nii and fought the Asura Path, but the mechanical body resisted his sword techniques and trapped him.

Killer B and the Eight-Tails fought Pain’s forces while the Lightning Shadow rushed to aid them, and Mabui mobilized Kumogakure’s defenses. Ingetsu and Konan infiltrated the Raikage Building, knocked out Omoi and Karui, and left Samui sensing that something was wrong.

Uchiha Ingetsu and Konan overwhelmed the Cloud Ninja in the Raikage Building and forced Mabui to guide them toward Yugito Nii. Mabui secretly hoped to pit Ingetsu against the force that had abducted Yugito, but Cloud Ninja attacked the group, and Ingetsu appeared ready to abandon his promise to spare them.

• Konan attacked the Raikage Building with paper cranes, killing the elite Cloud Ninja before she and Ingetsu confronted Mabui and Samui.

Ingetsu retaliated against the Cloud Ninja who attacked him, using his Complete Body Susanoo to devastate Kumogakure and take Mabui and Samui with him. At the same time, the Lightning Shadow was swallowed by a Rinnegan-bearing chameleon on the battlefield, where Darui faced simultaneous crises in the village and against the Eight-Tails.

• The Cloud Ninja charged Ingetsu and his companions, so Ingetsu summoned his Complete Body Susanoo and drove its sword into Kumogakure, killing most of the village's defenders.

• Nagato told Ingetsu that he had already controlled the Two-Tails and was about to capture the Eight-Tails.
• The Eight-Tails sensed that the Six Paths of Pain were controlled by one person and leapt toward Nagato’s hiding place, leaving the Cloud Ninja to pursue it.

• Ingetsu gave Mabui Soldier Pills to treat the gravely injured Yugito, and Mabui asked why he was capturing the Tailed Beasts.

• The chameleon spat out the Fourth Raikage, who recovered from his apparent weakness and confronted Ingetsu, while Ingetsu intended to control him rather than kill him.
• The Fourth Raikage rejected using Cloud Ninja as bait and charged Ingetsu alone, but his Lightning Lariat struck a genjutsu and Ingetsu’s Great Ball Rasengan came crashing down toward him.

Ingetsu trapped the Lightning Shadow inside a Four Red Yang Formation and defeated him with a Wood Dragon, then captured him alive. He told Deva Path Pain that he had captured four Tailed Beasts: the Three-Tails, Six-Tails, Eight-Tails, and Nine-Tails.

• The Lightning Shadow dodged Ingetsu’s Great Ball Rasengan, but Ingetsu’s Shadow Clones sealed them both inside a Four Red Yang Formation.
• Ingetsu opened a connection to the Prison Space so Hashirama, Tobirama, and Minato could watch, then summoned a massive Wood Dragon against the charging Lightning Shadow.

• The Land of Lightning Daimyo refused to flee and ordered officials to gather their estate’s shinobi and samurai to repel Ingetsu’s forces.

Ingetsu destroyed the Land of Lightning’s palace and killed its Daimyo, declaring that the Land of Lightning and Hidden Cloud Village would disappear as his war against the Ninja World began. He then headed west toward Sunagakure, where Chiyo and Ebizo weighed how to respond to the Leaf Village’s approaching forces.
