• Uchiha Fugaku greeted the imprisoned Konoha leaders and laughed at their changed circumstances.

Uchiha Fugaku used Tsukuyomi to torment the Konoha F4 before Konoha guards rushed them to the hospital. Ziyun then brought Tsunade and the Senju Clan Members to meet Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, where he proposed Tsunade as Fifth Hokage and threatened war if Konoha refused.

• Mei Terumi embraced and kissed Ziyun after he agreed to her proposal, telling her to discuss it with Mikoto, Kushina, and Tsunade.
