Naruto defeats several of Pain’s bodies until his Sage Mode expires. Pain revives the Preta Path to absorb a second Rasen-Shuriken, but Fukasaku reveals Naruto created clones to gather natural energy. Naruto summons a clone to disperse, restoring his Sage Mode. He destroys the Naraka Path, yet Pain recovers and repels the toads with Shinra Tensei. Realizing taijutsu and ninjutsu are ineffective against the remaining paths, Naruto decides to employ a genjutsu strategy suggested by Fukasaku to turn the tide of the battle.
