• Shion rushed to join Karin, greeted Senyo, and then her pupils abruptly changed when she looked at Rin.

Shion's precognition warned Senyo that Obito would kill Rin and that Konoha's villagers would collapse from a likely poison attack. Senyo assembled the village's medical and leadership experts to prepare defenses, while Minato confirmed he could not track Obito into the Kamui Dimension, leaving Rin at risk.

• Shion's precognition erupted in Konoha's commercial street, showing Obito killing Rin and villagers collapsing, so Senyo brought Rin and Shion to the Uchiha meeting room.
