Having left the Akatsuki, Konan remembers an event from her past while Jiraiya lived with her, Nagato, and Yahiko. Konan then senses Tobi arriving to the Hidden Rain Village to retrieve Nagato's Rinnegan, having expected him as she takes him to the outskirts while explaining Nagato's resting place is not in the village. While fighting Konan as she denounces him for stealing the Akatsuki from them, still perplexed by why she and Nagato sided with Naruto, Tobi reveals that he influenced Yahiko while claiming as Madara to had gave Nagato his eyes. Konan refuses to hand Nagato over to Tobi as she transforms into thousands into paper bombs to take out the masked ninja out, only for both to survive with the masked ninja's right arm destroyed and his mask partially damaged. Konan responds that she has placed the faith in fallen friends' ideal to Naruto, revealing the sea under them to hold six hundred billion paper bombs.
