• Konan checked Ning Feng for injuries, and he revealed the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan in his eyes.

Ning Feng revealed that his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan had evolved into the Rinnegan, then ordered Amegakure's elite forces to reinforce Konoha. On Konoha's battlefield, Kabuto Yakushi controlled a reincarnated Tobirama Senju, who unleashed a devastating Water Release attack on Konoha's ninja.

• Ning Feng awakened the Rinnegan, startling Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan.
• Orochimaru explained that he had studied Ning Feng's blood sample, Hashirama Senju's cells, and the Uchiha Clan's bloodline to investigate the Sage of Six Paths.

• Minato Namikaze attacked Tobirama Senju with a Rasengan, but Mū blocked it with an Earth-Style Wall and countered with Dust Release, forcing Minato to retreat.
• Minato Namikaze realized he was at a disadvantage against the two powerful opponents and the nearby Konoha ninja.
• Ning Feng arrived after finishing his work in Amegakure, and Minato Namikaze identified Tobirama Senju and Mū for him.
• Ning Feng reasoned that Kabuto Yakushi could have obtained Hashirama Senju's remains and reincarnated him because Orochimaru had not sealed the First and Second Hokages' souls in the Reaper's stomach.
• Ning Feng suspected Kabuto Yakushi had suppressed Tobirama Senju's consciousness and volunteered to test both opponents, reassuring Minato that he could retreat if needed.
