As the Shinobi Alliance fall back when the tailed beasts proceed to fighting Madara head on, Gaara supports Shukaku by immobilizing Madara with their Grand Sand Mausoleum Seal. But Madara uses his Susanoo to escape before the sealing was completed. But Naruto and Kurama leads the counterattack on Madara with the tailed beasts using their tails as whips, forcing Madara to fall back while losing his right arm. A White Zetsu then emerges, giving Madara his original right eye as the Uchiha loops off the entity's arm to serve as a replacement limb while his injuries heal. After inserting his right eye back into its socket, Madara summons the Gedo Statue from Obito's body. Kakashi attempts to stop the statue but only manages to amputate one of its arms. Standing atop the statue, Madara uses his Rinnegan to repel the tailed beasts before having the Gedo Statue unleash its chains to restrain them with the intent to extract Gyuki and Kurama first. Attempting to fight the restraints alongside Killer Bee, Naruto finds he cannot cancel his Tailed Beast Mode. Deeming Naruto's efforts to suppress Kurama's chakra futile, Madara redirects his focus on Shukaku at the White Zetsu's inquiry. But Gaara attempts to use his Desert Hands to save Shukaku to the tailed beast's shock after what he put his former Jinchuriki through. This causes Shukaku to remember his previous Jinchuriki host, Bunpuku and realizes that Gaara is the person whom the One-Tail was told would teach him the meaning of "heart" and "acceptance". Seeing Madara about to use his Susanoo to kill Gaara, Shukaku deflects the attack with his Absolute Defense. But Madara breaks the chain Gaara was holding and reattaches them to resume sealing Shukaku.
