Toneri descended onto the battlefield and drew the attention of the Allied command and the fighters facing the Ten-Tails. He and Madara Uchiha exchanged threats, leaving a battle on the verge of breaking out.

• Toneri's arrival registered as a Chakra surge second only to the Ten-Tails, alarming Inoichi Yamanaka and the strategists at Konoha's command center.

• Madara Uchiha and Toneri stopped talking, and their hostility left them poised to fight.

Toneri appeared on the battlefield, and Soji identified his eyes as the Tenseigan, the counterpart to Madara Uchiha’s Rinnegan. As Madara and Soji joined forces against Toneri, Nagato and Hashirama Senju struggled to understand a conflict increasingly beyond their control.

• Toneri’s arrival made Nagato and Hashirama Senju fear that the battle had shifted beyond their control, while Nagato sensed the Ten-Tails was afraid of him.
• Soji told Madara Uchiha that Toneri’s eyes were the Tenseigan, the evolved form of the Byakugan, and described it as the Rinnegan’s counterpart and the “Eye of Power.”
• Madara Uchiha questioned Soji about his knowledge, but Soji refused to explain how he learned the secrets of the Tenseigan.
• Soji interrupted Toneri before he could reveal Soji’s true identity, and Toneri considered the Giant Tenseigan his advantage while Soji’s true body was missing.
• Madara Uchiha and Soji exchanged threats, then faced Toneri together as he launched an attack.

Otsutsuki Toneri activated Tenseigan Chakra Mode and overwhelmed Madara Uchiha, forcing Mizuki Ember and Madara to join forces against him. As their fight continued, Hashirama Senju and Nagato resumed battling each other while the Allied Shinobi Forces and Akatsuki members watched in confusion.

• Toneri struck Madara Uchiha before he could react, cracking his cheek and sending him into a sandpit.
• Toneri entered Tenseigan Chakra Mode, and Soji intervened with Flowing Rock Shattering Fist to stop him from pursuing Madara.
• Toneri blocked Soji's attacks and sent him flying with a powerful counterstrike, while Soji noted that Toneri had not yet borrowed the Giant Tenseigan's power.
• Madara emerged from the sandpit, argued with Soji about not knowing Toneri's abilities, then accepted that his own overconfidence had caused his setback.
• Soji and Madara joined forces against Toneri, leaving Nagato, Hashirama Senju, and the onlookers bewildered.
• Hashirama Senju and Nagato decided to subdue each other first and resumed their battle.

Soji and Madara Uchiha attacked Toneri together, but Toneri effortlessly destroyed their ice-and-fire assault and countered with a barrage of Chakra Cannons. The two joined forces again as Toneri continued to hold his own against them, even faintly suppressing them in taijutsu.

• Madara Uchiha unleashed Great Fire Extinguishing from above while Soji sent an Ice Storm at Toneri from below.
• Toneri punched apart Madara Uchiha’s fireball and tore through Soji’s Ice Storm with his bare hands.
• Toneri fired Chakra Cannons at Soji and Madara Uchiha; Soji dodged them, while several beams pierced Madara Uchiha’s Susanoo and nearly struck him.
• Soji and Madara Uchiha charged Toneri together, and Toneri continued fighting both of them without falling behind.

Soji and Madara Uchiha’s uneasy alliance let Toneri repeatedly strike Madara while Soji counterattacked using Mind Reading. Toneri changed tactics and unleashed the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, leaving Soji and Madara preparing to block it together.

• Toneri repeatedly knocked Madara Uchiha down while Soji used openings to attack Toneri, pushing Madara toward turning on his temporary ally.
• Soji revealed that his Byakugan’s Mind Reading let him anticipate Toneri’s attacks, though using it consumed substantial Chakra.

• Soji recognized Toneri’s attack as the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion and warned Madara that they needed to defend together.
• Madara agreed to block the attack with Soji, and Toneri launched the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

Soji and Madara Uchiha survived Toneri’s Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion by combining the Rotating Ice Lotus, Complete Body Susanoo, and Frost Armor. Toneri then unleashed the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, stunning the Allied Forces and making the Ten-Tails show fear.

• Soji shielded himself and Madara Uchiha with the Rotating Ice Lotus, but Toneri’s Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion destroyed it.
• Madara Uchiha braced his Complete Body Susanoo against the weakened hurricane, and Soji reinforced it with Frost Armor to help them endure the attack.
• Soji explained that the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was one of the Tenseigan’s ultimate secret arts and predicted Toneri would use the other one.
• Toneri gathered the Black Chakra Prayer Beads and unleashed the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, sending a huge golden beam into the sky.
• The Allied Forces reacted with alarm, the Ten-Tails roared uneasily, and Nagato realized that it was afraid of Toneri’s power.

Toneri unleashed the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion against Soji and Madara Uchiha, demonstrating power that could cleave through the battlefield and kill Reanimated dead beyond recovery. As the Allied Forces and Konoha leaders reacted to the devastation, the Third Hokage connected the attack to the destruction left behind when Danzo disappeared.

• Toneri activated the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion and declared that he would pass judgment on everyone.
• Soji warned Madara Uchiha about the attack, and both evaded Toneri’s descending Golden Sword.
• Toneri’s sword split the earth, narrowly missed the Ten-Tails, and killed numerous Allied Forces ninjas, White Zetsu, and Reanimated dead who could not recover.
• The battlefield’s fighters were shaken by the attack, while Konoha ninjas recognized the golden light as the phenomenon seen when Danzo disappeared.
• Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura recalled the desert and canyon left behind after Danzo’s disappearance, and the Third Hokage concluded that Danzo had probably died after meeting the young man.

Toneri unleashed Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion against Soji and Madara Uchiha, while the Allied Forces and Akatsuki realized he was their common enemy and avoided his attacks. Soji and Madara continued dodging and counterattacking, and Soji predicted that Toneri would soon change tactics.

• The Shinobi Villages concealed the destruction from Soji and Old Madara’s battle, and the world remembered it as a legend about Soji’s alias, Mizuki Ember.
• Toneri repeatedly slashed at Soji and Madara Uchiha with his enormous Golden Sword, carving up the desert and killing many fighters caught in the collateral damage.
• The Allied Forces of the Five Great Shinobi Villages and the Akatsuki Organization recognized Toneri as their shared enemy and paused their fights to evade his golden attacks.
• Soji and Madara dodged Toneri’s slashes and attacked during openings, but Toneri dispersed their attacks with his sword.
• Madara Uchiha grew more confident in evading the Golden Sword, while Soji privately imagined making Madara dance and then predicted Toneri would change tactics.

Soji and Madara Uchiha exploited Toneri’s overconfidence and limited combat experience to coordinate their first attack together. Soji froze Toneri long enough for Madara Uchiha’s Susanoo to land a direct hit, leaving Toneri’s condition unresolved.

• Toneri grew enraged when his Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion repeatedly failed to hit Soji and Madara Uchiha.

• Madara Uchiha summoned his third stage Susanoo and struck Toneri with Yasakani no Magatama.

Soji and Madara Uchiha injured Toneri with a coordinated attack, then resumed their stalemated fight while Toneri concealed the extent of his wounds. Meanwhile, Obito deliberately shifted his battle with Kakashi and Sasuke toward the central battlefield to advance his plan to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki.

• Soji restrained Toneri while Madara Uchiha struck him in the back with Susanoo's Yasakani no Magatama, knocking away his Golden Sword.

• Sasuke warned Kakashi that Obito might be drawing them into the central battlefield's range, where its shockwaves could kill them.

Obito guided Kakashi and Sasuke toward the central battlefield, hoping to use the chaos to get a chance to kill Madara Uchiha himself. As Hashirama Senju and Nagato began their final exchange, Hashirama restrained the Ten-Tails and blocked Nagato’s attack before both prepared their next strikes.

• Kakashi admitted he had been distracted, and he and Sasuke concluded that Obito was not simply trying to kill them with the central battlefield’s shockwaves.
• Obito continued leading Kakashi and Sasuke toward the battle, intending to wait for Hashirama Senju and Nagato to weaken each other before he attacked Madara Uchiha.
• Hashirama Senju used Wood Release: Human Path Collection Technique to bind the Ten-Tails, while Nagato unleashed Shinra Tensei.
• Hashirama Senju blocked Nagato’s Shinra Tensei with Wood Release: Hōbi Technique, and Nagato prepared Asura Attack as Hashirama raised Five-Layered Rashomon.

Nagato and Hashirama Senju prepared to settle their battle with their strongest techniques, as Nagato drew on the Ten-Tails and Hashirama summoned the Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands. Their world-shaking attacks began to collide, leaving the outcome unresolved.

• Nagato's Asura Attack pierced the first four layers of Hashirama Senju's Five-Layered Rashomon before the fifth gate stopped it at the brink of breaking.
• Nagato acknowledged the gap between himself and Hashirama, but trusted the Ten-Tails to help him win and fulfill his dream.

• Soji, Madara Uchiha, and Toneri eased their fighting and watched as Nagato and Hashirama gathered immense amounts of Chakra.
• Nagato unleashed Super Almighty Push as Hashirama summoned the Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, and their massive attacks erupted toward one another.

Hashirama Senju’s Sage Art Wood Golem broke through Nagato’s Super Shinra Tensei and battered the Ten-Tails, but the beast began recovering while Nagato remained unharmed. As Nagato trapped Hashirama with Planetary Devastation, Hashirama chose to spend his last strength on one final jutsu, leaving the outcome to the Allied Forces.

• Hashirama Senju’s Sage Art Wood Golem overwhelmed Super Shinra Tensei and struck the Ten-Tails with hundreds of fists, badly injuring it.
• Nagato escaped behind the Ten-Tails, and the beast’s wounds began healing while Hashirama Senju assessed how to stop them.
• Nagato drew on the Ten-Tails’ Chakra and cast Planetary Devastation, pulling Hashirama Senju and the surrounding earth toward a black sphere.
• Hashirama Senju chose not to break free, joined his hands, and unleashed Sage Art—Gate of the Great God as his final strike.

Hashirama Senju was sealed by Nagato’s Planetary Devastation, but his final strike suppressed both the Ten-Tails and Nagato with the Gate of the Great God. With that battlefield temporarily contained, Soji, Madara Uchiha, and Toneri continued their fight, and Toneri believed he could win without interference.

• Hashirama Senju ran out of Chakra and was sealed inside the enormous sphere created by Planetary Devastation.
• Before he was sealed, Hashirama Senju dropped the Gate of the Great God on the Ten-Tails, suppressing its Chakra and cutting off Nagato’s ability to draw from it.
• Nagato was struck by three Gates of the Great God and became unable to move, leaving both him and the Ten-Tails unable to interfere in the other battles for now.
• Soji, Madara Uchiha, and Toneri continued fighting; Toneri landed occasional blows on Soji, and one shattered Soji’s Ice Mask, revealing his mismatched eyes.
• Madara Uchiha recognized formidable Dojutsu Power in Soji’s eyes, while Soji’s Three-Stage Byakugan had already evolved into the Tenseigan.
• Madara Uchiha and Toneri watched Hashirama Senju’s defeat; Toneri was pleased that no one from the other battlefield could interrupt their fight and expected to win.

After Hashirama Senju was sealed and Nagato and the Ten-Tails were suppressed, Soji realized the Allied Forces of the Five Great Shinobi Villages were in a dangerous position. Obito blocked Kakashi and Sasuke from reaching Nagato so he could remove the Curse Seal on his heart, while Kakashi revealed Obito’s identity to Sasuke.

• Hashirama Senju was sealed, leaving Soji worried that the Allied Forces of the Five Great Shinobi Villages had become the most disadvantaged faction.
• Obito, Kakashi, and Sasuke witnessed Hashirama Senju’s defeat and saw Nagato and the Ten-Tails suppressed by the Gate of the Great God.
• Kakashi and Sasuke decided to take advantage of Nagato’s suppression and try to kill him, but Obito intercepted them to protect his chance to become the Ten-Tails’ Jinchuriki.
• Kakashi addressed the fake Madara Uchiha as Obito, then admitted to Sasuke that he had learned Obito’s identity earlier.
• Sasuke connected Obito’s name to Kakashi’s deceased teammate, Obito Uchiha, and realized the fake Madara Uchiha might be Kakashi’s former teammate.

Kakashi revealed that Obito was the masked man, and Obito admitted his identity while hiding his plan to use Kakashi to become the Ten-Tails’ Jinchuriki and take revenge on Madara Uchiha. Obito attacked Kakashi and Sasuke with offensive Kamui, leaving them to counter with matching Chidori strikes.

• Sasuke reeled from Kakashi’s revelation that the fake Madara Uchiha was Obito, whom the Uchiha Clan had believed dead.
• Obito acknowledged that Kakashi had kept his identity secret, while Kakashi urged him to stop and noted how his behavior had changed.
• Obito refused to turn back and suddenly threatened to kill Kakashi, Sasuke, and everyone in the Allied Forces.

• Kakashi told Sasuke to strike him with Chidori, and the two launched Lightning Release: Chidori at the same time.
