  • The Uchiha members become sympathetic toward Sakumo and increasingly angry at the Konoha high command. Inohi calls on the clan to resist oppression rather than suffer the same fate as Sakumo.
  • Dan persuades the clan to let Kakashi keep his Sharingan, presenting the decision as both an act of Uchiha magnanimity and a way to preserve the clan’s reputation.

  • Dan: Demonstrates political skill by turning Sakumo’s tragedy into evidence of Konoha’s mistreatment of the Uchiha. He also shows strategic interest in Kakashi’s Mangekyō Sharingan and considers secretly replacing Kakashi’s eye with a normal Three-Tomoe Sharingan so he can later surprise Obito by taking or manipulating the Kamui eye.
  • Kakashi: Remains outwardly loyal to Konoha but reveals no strong allegiance to the Third Hokage or the Uchiha. His willingness to keep the Sharingan suggests he accepts Dan’s mercy, though he rejects recruitment.

  • Surveillance and hidden conflict: The White Zetsu infiltration reveals that the Uchiha are being watched from within, escalating the danger surrounding the clan.
