    • The Uchiha Clan was exterminated by Itachi, who was only fourteen at the time.

  • Minato deduces that his counterpart’s death during the Nine-Tails Attack was likely the result of a larger conspiracy. He suspects that the attack occurred during Naruto’s birth, when Kushina’s seal was weakened, and that figures such as Danzō, Madara, or Black Zetsu may have been involved.
