• Orochimaru and Kabuto discover that Hiruzen has taken the remains they sought. Before they leave, Kisame and Black Zetsu approach them with an offer of cooperation.
• Black Zetsu reveals that he wants Orochimaru to resurrect Uchiha Madara using Impure World Reincarnation. In exchange, he promises the remains of numerous legendary ninja and White Zetsu sacrifices, allowing Orochimaru to create a powerful undead army.

Character Developments and Interactions

• Danzo and the Kage: Danzo continues acting as the driving force behind the Allied Forces, while the other Kage follow him because they feel trapped by their previous decisions.

• Jiraiya: He reluctantly agrees to help gather sacrifices, showing his continued loyalty to Konoha despite his discomfort with the forbidden technique.
• Orochimaru: He remains cautious and suspicious, but his ambition overcomes his distrust of Black Zetsu. The chance to control Madara and command an army of resurrected legends greatly appeals to him.
• Black Zetsu: After losing Nagato and Obito, he adapts his plan by recruiting Orochimaru and pursuing Madara’s resurrection through another method. He continues manipulating others while secretly working toward reviving Kaguya.

• Pragmatism versus ideology: Characters act according to different motivations—Danzo seeks victory and political dominance, Orochimaru seeks power and immortality, Kakuzu seeks money, and Kisame seeks an idealized world.
• The past returning to threaten the present: The planned resurrection of Madara, former Kage, and other legendary ninja emphasizes how history and old powers continue to shape the current conflict.
• Loyalty and found family: Konan and Karin’s bond, as well as Naruto’s connection with his companions, contrasts with the manipulation and betrayal among the larger factions.

Overall Significance

Hiruzen, Orochimaru, and Black Zetsu each seek to build overwhelming power through Impure World Reincarnation, setting up a major conflict involving resurrected legends. Meanwhile, Konan’s group is targeted by bounty hunters, but Naruto’s newfound Rinnegan and composed response show that the younger generation is becoming increasingly formidable.
