• Orochimaru ordered the group to retreat to a prepared camp while Minato held off Chiyo’s team, and Yufeng and Kakashi silently shared their suspicions about the Sand Shinobi ambush.
• Yufeng and Kakashi discussed whether the ambush had been a coincidence, and Kakashi concluded that it was connected to Yufeng rather than himself.
• Yu told Yufeng that Kumogakure forces led by A and Killer B had struck the Land of Wind, and claimed Orochimaru had planned the Sand Shinobi attack as part of a wider scheme.
