Uchiha Satoru built ties with Naruto and the Uchiha while testing how far he could challenge Konoha’s leaders. After the Third Hokage pushed him toward early graduation, Satoru concluded that the Uchiha could not be protected in the village, and Orochimaru began taking an interest in him.
Gojo Satoru passed through a chaotic graduation exam, protected Itachi from Obito, and became entangled in Danzo’s plots against Kakashi and A. After helping expose Danzo’s schemes and bringing A into Konoha’s ranks, Satoru uncovered a false-flag ambush during an ANBU mission.

Wu Chiwu returned to Konoha with Haku and Hozuki Kagetsu, reunited with Sasuke, and entered the Chunin Exams under the name of Sweet Ninja Village. In the Forest of Death, he clashed with Gaara and Orochimaru, helped Sasuke face danger, and left the story with Kabuto arriving as Haku and Hozuki Kagetsu reached the central tower unharmed.
Wu Chiwu advanced through the Chunin Exam while Orochimaru pursued Sasuke and sought to seize Wu Chiwu as well. The invasion began during Sasuke’s postponed match, and Wu Chiwu revealed himself inside the barrier as Hiruzen fought Orochimaru and the resurrected First and Second Hokage.
Gorō Satoru confronted Hiruzen Sarutobi, joined the Akatsuki, and repeatedly disrupted its operations while keeping Sasuke from leaving with Orochimaru. After he killed Black Zetsu, he found himself wanted by Konoha, Otogakure, and the Akatsuki, while Tsunade moved to protect Naruto.
