He starts fighting with Minato, Kushina and Tsunade, and easily overpowers them, but instantly later, Naruto and Sakura arrive to the scene. When they realize he is the masked man that Tsunade mentioned earlier, Sakura tries to land a hit on him, but he slams her down to the ground. Menma takes this chance and kidnaps her.

Later, when Menma is possesed by Tobi and is extracting Kurama from Naruto, Sakura shows up and attempts to land a hit on him again. He easily avoids it and they start fighting until Naruto's memories return.
