What episode is "The Bridge to Peace" in Naruto Shippuden?
"The Bridge to Peace" is episode 253 of Naruto Shippuden.
Konan launches a massive coordinated attack against Tobi, pushing her abilities to their limits in a critical confrontation. Tobi reveals hidden techniques and motivations, challenging beliefs and shifting the balance of power as the episode unfolds with high tension and revelations.
Konan uses her six hundred billion paper bombs against Tobi to exploit the limits of his teleportation and intangibility jutsu to assure his death, exhausting most her chakra in the process. But Tobi thwarts the gambit by using Izanagi at the cost of his left eye, impaling Konan while explaining the technique's similarities to the Rinnegan through Senju and the Uchiha clans both being descendants of the Sage of Six Paths. Declaring himself as Madara Uchiha, the Second Sage of the Sixth Paths who perfectly assimilated Hashirama's cells, Tobi defeats Konan and while denouncing her faith in Naruto as foolish. Tobi then uses his remaining Sharingan to force her into revealing the location of Nagato and Yahiko's tomb before ending her life. Once obtaining Nagato's corpse, Tobi returns to the Akatsuki's base where he repairs his body and changes into new attire before Zetsu presents Kisame's intel on the jinchurikis' location.
