Boom!
The Summoning Monster Bird carried the reincarnated Nagato down before the Nest!
Naruto narrowed his eyes. "Nagato couldn't form the seal to break free of the reincarnation's control. That means Kabuto Yakushi deliberately took control of him. I have to admit, his awareness is impressive!"
Whoosh! Kabuto made Nagato form hand seals.
Summoning Technique!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deidara, Kakuzu, Sasori of the Red Sands, Hanzo of the Salamander, and Uchiha Itachi... appeared one after another!
"They're here!" Naruto and Konan stopped in their tracks!
Konan said, "Everyone you wanted to recruit is here~"
Naruto smiled. "But it probably won't go that smoothly. Kabuto is pulling the strings, after all~"
Behind the scenes, Kabuto Yakushi carefully weighed his options. Naruto has Shisui Uchiha's right eye in addition to Madara's left. Kotoamatsukami is the only genjutsu capable of overriding Impure World Reincarnation. Although it won't work against Nagato's Rinnegan, the others...

Whoosh!
Under Kabuto Yakushi's control, the six moved into formation!
Sasori, Kakuzu, and Hanzō stood at the front!
Nagato remained where he was, in the middle of the formation!
Itachi retreated behind Nagato, taking the rearmost position!
Deidara rode his giant bird high overhead!
Their three-dimensional battle formation was complete!
"This formation looks familiar. It's just like when I fought the Six Paths of Pain, except they've covered the sky above too~ My 'slip past unnoticed' tactic won't work now~"
As Naruto marveled, his thoughts raced. *I think I understand why Kabuto Yakushi arranged them this way. He knows I have one use of Kotoamatsukami, so he's pushed the less important pawns forward to tempt
