As the mist of steam is created from the collision of both techniques, Madara utilizes his sharingan to see Nagato's chakra signature, access a full body view of him. As Nagato moves towards the side, Madara notices the snake hand seal being performed, or also known as the serpent seal. Thereafter, Madara notices a dense nature of chakra being build up inside of Nagato's system as it is then sent directly into the ground from the bottom of his feet. Instinctively knowing that most earth techniques require the snake hand seal and that "dense" chakra is being sent underground, Madara can roughly estimate the chakra nature of the technique. As the ground begins to shift beneath him from the earth rising, Madara simply blends into the earthen slab to the left of him. Madara then proceeds to release his left arm from the rock formation, delivering a punch aimed at Nagato's face as he thrusts his rasengan into nothingness. Madara then blends out of the rock formation and stands beside Nagato as he is knocked to the side from the punch. Madara makes sure to stay very cautious to any counter-strikes whilst in the process of delivering the punch.
