Ép. 348: Nagato assume la direction de l'Akatsuki après la mort de Yahiko et la destruction des forces ennemies.

Yahiko reveals to Nagato his intention of stepping down as the Akatsuki's leader and asks his friend to take his place, the two unaware of Konan's capture while approached by a disguised Danzo who informs them that Hanzo wishes to meet them. Before heading out with Yahiko, Nagato is approached by Obito and is warned to prepared himself to face reality when he refuses to abandon his friends. After Nagato and Yahiko head out, Kyusuke receives a letter that the Leaf's ANBU are also meeting with Hanzo and realizes it is a trap. Kyusuke and the other Akatsuki members attempt to catch up with Yahiko and Nagato before being intercepted and slaughtered by Obito and Zetsu, the former wanting Nagato to experience the same tragedy he suffered from witnessing Rin's death. The two arrive to the site of the meeting with Hanzo and bare witness as Yahiko runs himself through Nagato's kunai when his friend is forced by Hanzo to decide to kill him or watch Konan die. Enraged while his legs are heavily damaged by adhesive paper bombs as a result of saving Konan, Nagato uses his Rinnegan to slaughter the Leaf and Rain shinobi with the Gedo Statue while Hanzo and Danzo escape. Soon after meeting Obito, having now embraced his ideals, Nagato finished converting Yahiko's corpse into the Deva Path of his Six Paths of Pain so he would remain the Akatsuki's leader.
