Uchiha Qingfeng kept Deidara from blowing himself up and learned the Akatsuki Organization could lose the war if it failed to capture the Eight-Tails.

• Minato Namikaze used Flying Thunder God Technique to appear beside Nagato and stab him in the chest with a Kunai.

The Allied Shinobi Forces destroyed Deva Path Pain and believed Minato Namikaze had fatally wounded Nagato, leaving the Akatsuki Organization on the verge of defeat. As the Kage moved to capture the remaining enemies, Uchiha Madara learned Nagato was badly injured and decided to let him die so he could use him for another purpose.

As the survivors prepared to leave or watch what happened next from his Kamui Space, Kisame began wondering how much Samehada was worth.

• Uchiha Qingfeng urged Nagato to remove his Rinnegan before God's Blessing ran out, and Nagato dug out his eyes.
• Uchiha Qingfeng handed the Rinnegan to Black Zetsu and warned him that it might have side effects after reviving five people.

• Sasori gave Uchiha Qingfeng his last remaining asset, while Kisame eyed Samehada and wondered how much it was worth.

Uchiha Qingfeng released the Nine-Tails into the battlefield, where Uchiha Madara seized control of it and faced Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode. As Hashirama unleashed True Several Thousand Hands, Black Zetsu finished implanting the Rinnegan in a sixth Ninja, while Qingfeng watched from a safer distance.
