At the Hokage Office, Shien blamed Fugaku and Itachi for the disaster and presented the Uchiha as weakened and unwilling to pursue a fight with the village.

After the Hokage stalled on both matters, Shien told Hiashi to prepare police personnel and returned to the clan grounds to arrange for Root corpses to be preserved and displayed.

In Konoha, he encountered young Naruto Uzumaki and secretly used his Mangekyō ability on him before leaving him to face the villagers’ punishment.
