Uchiha Gen agreed to help Minato Namikaze if he needed it after Jiraiya asked him to keep an eye out for chances to help with Tsunade. The next morning, Gen learned that Orochimaru had reassigned him to assist Tsunade and moved Sarutobi Enju and Utsuki Ruri to other teams.
- Jiraiya asked Gen to tell him when Tsunade was free or vulnerable so he could try to win her over, but Gen urged him to ask for something else.
- Jiraiya told Gen to help Minato if he ever needed it, and Gen agreed.

- The next morning, Sarutobi Enju and Utsuki Ruri told Gen that Orochimaru had transferred him to help Tsunade and reassigned them to other teams.
