Nagato and Otsutsuki Toneri’s third clash sent devastating shockwaves across the battlefield, leaving nearby Kage and approaching ninja struggling to endure them. As Shisui, Shinichi, Konan, and Itachi pressed toward the fight, Itachi began to suspect that Hyuga Kagami had a deeper plan than simply matching Nagato’s chakra.

• Jiraiya ordered weaker Konoha ninja to stay back while Shinichi charged toward the battlefield.
• Konan pushed her Explosive Tag cloud onward despite the shockwaves, hoping Nagato would win.
• Itachi used Wood Release to block a shockwave, then cautiously advanced toward the battlefield while questioning whether Hyuga Kagami was fighting Nagato passively.

Nagato used Limbo: Border Jail and Wood Release to gain the upper hand against Otsutsuki Toneri, leaving the onlooking shinobi puzzled by the apparent shift in the battle. Shinichi recognized that Hyuga Kagami had likely staged Toneri’s appearance as the God Organization’s leader.

• Konan watched Nagato gain the advantage over Otsutsuki Toneri, while Itachi realized Hyuga Kagami was likely nearby and stayed hidden.
• Otsutsuki Toneri used the Giant Tenseigan to extend chakra arms into Nagato and drain his chakra, but Nagato absorbed it back with his Rinnegan, leaving them locked in a tug-of-war.

• Konan sent Explosive Tags toward Sasuke, while Itachi panicked at his sudden attack.
• Nagato and Otsutsuki Toneri noticed Sasuke as his Susanoo fired the arrow toward Nagato.

Sasuke tried to strike Nagato with a Susanoo arrow, but an unseen Limbo Clone shattered his Susanoo and left him badly injured. Shisui rescued him after blocking the invisible attacker with the Yata Mirror, while the watching ninjas realized Nagato’s hidden foes could overpower even the God Organization’s Flame Demon.

• Sasuke fired a Susanoo arrow wrapped in Amaterasu at Nagato, but it exploded in midair after hitting an invisible obstacle.
