Obito became the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, but the Ten-Tails' violent consciousness pushed him toward losing control. He eventually returned to his Six Paths form through a compromise between their minds, with only his anger and desire for revenge on Madara Uchiha remaining.

• Obito became the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, forcing Soji, Madara Uchiha, and Toneri to pause their battle.

• Obito clung to his determination to see Rin and avenge her, preserving a trace of himself without the Rinnegan's control.
• Obito's body returned to its Six Paths form, but his eyes held only anger, and his remaining purpose was to take revenge on Madara Uchiha.

Obito became the Ten-Tails’ Jinchuriki while his obsession with revenge kept him in Six Paths form, and he turned on Madara after learning the truth about Rin’s death. Madara provoked Obito into losing the last of his reason, then narrowly dodged his attacks and gambled that the Ten-Tails would soon consume Obito’s consciousness.

• Obito became the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki and attacked Madara Uchiha, while Black Zetsu waited for a chance to revive Madara.
• Trapped beneath Hashirama Senju's Gate of the Great God, Nagato questioned whether fear could bring peace and began to reconsider his ambitions.
• Black Zetsu told Nagato he could control the out-of-control Obito with the Rinnegan if he escaped his suppression.
• Nagato questioned why Black Zetsu would help him, and Black Zetsu admitted he was still on Obito's side but saw Nagato as his only choice.
• Nagato believed Black Zetsu and asked what he needed to do, and Black Zetsu realized Madara's revival could proceed.

Black Zetsu tricked Nagato into letting him take control so they could escape Hashirama Senju’s Gate of the Great God. Once free, Black Zetsu forced Nagato to use the Outer Path—Reanimation Jutsu, and Madara Uchiha was revived.
