Yuu revived Jiraiya and confronted Pain with a power Pain recognized as the Rinnegan’s Outer Path—Rinne Rebirth Technique. As Nagato struggled to understand how Yuu could wield it without paying the usual cost, Yuu offered to teach him how to use the power.

Jiraiya, Konan, and others witnessed Saiki Yuu unleash an enormous Yin-Yang Diagram, which they sensed could create or destroy worlds. Black Zetsu watched from the edge of Amegakure and feared the power, while counting on Uchiha Obito to retrieve Nagato’s Rinnegan if Peisi was defeated.

• Konan and Jiraiya stared at the immense Yin-Yang Diagram, and Jiraiya recognized it as a force of rebirth or destruction.

• Saiki Yuu faced the Deva Path’s repulsive force and declared that Yin and Yang formed the world.

• Konan understood the power behind Saiki Yuu’s reputation and why the other great villages tolerated Konoha’s forces in their territories.

Konan watched Saiki Yuu’s enormous slash overpower the Deva Path and recognized the threat he posed to the Akatsuki. The Deva Path burned more of Nagato’s life force to unleash another Super Almighty Push, but Yuu still judged it insufficient.

• Konan recalled discovering that Uchiha Madara’s Space-Time Ninjutsu lasted only five minutes and worried that the Deva Path could not withstand Yuu’s slash.

• Yuu rejected Konan's plea and swung Shusui, sending a huge black-purple slash toward Nagato's main body.

With Nagato nearly out of chakra, Yuu’s Conqueror’s Haki disrupted Uchiha Obito’s intangibility and forced him to appear beside Nagato. Obito tried to present himself as Uchiha Madara, but his introduction came out as a stutter, leaving the others stunned.

• Saiki Yuu’s aura disrupted Obito’s intangibility and forced him and Nagato back into reality.
• Obito failed to regain control of his Sharingan as he faced Yuu and the Black Blade.
• Yuu laughed, pulled Konan against his chest, and told Obito he would not kill him this time, even if Obito wanted to call himself Uchiha Madara.
