• Uchiha Jin asked Orochimaru whether he wanted to join New Konoha, explaining that it was a new village separate from Old Konoha.
• Orochimaru considered joining because New Konoha could provide resources and support for his research, but said he had joined a mysterious organization and needed to think it over.

Danzo accused Sarutobi Hiruzen of killing Namikaze Minato and orchestrating the Nine-Tails attack, backing his theory with details about the Flying Thunder God and Kagami’s missing Mangekyō.

• Senju Tobirama reflected that he had once intended to make Konoha a Senju-controlled village, but his death let Sarutobi Hiruzen seize real power and eliminate the Senju and Uzumaki clans.
