• Third Mizukage privately threatens a hidden Kirigakure agent: his promises had better come true, or his family will be wiped out. The agent outlines the full scheme: weaken the Uchiha so Konoha's own politics destroy them (like the Senju), have Orochimaru replace them, and let Konoha's internal conflict escalate until the Uchiha vanish — allowing Kirigakure to surpass Konoha.
