While Kabuto initially seems frightened by Orochimaru's appearance, it turned out to be a ruse as he attacks the disguised Yamato. After telling Kabuto that the figure is not Sasori, Orochimaru recognizes Yamato as one of the test subjects in his experiments to replicate Hashirama's power through blood transfusion of the First Hokage's DNA.

Meanwhile, Kabuto advances toward Sakura and Yamato, deducing that Sasori has died.

Kabuto heals Sakura and disappears after reasoning that the Konoha ninja are not Orochimaru's enemies because they are also fighting the Akatsuki. Yamato forcibly returns Naruto to his normal state.

Orochimaru gives the envelope with information from Danzo about Konoha's ANBU to Kabuto and instructs him to make a bingo book. On reaching near Orochimaru's hideout, Yamato gives Sakura and Naruto wooden seeds to ingest, which are imbued with his chakra, that would enable him to track them down in case they are lost, and reveals that he was able to track Sai with the same seeds that he had secretly fed Sai.

However, Sasuke uses his Sharingan to enter Naruto's mind and stop him from reaching the Nine Tails.

Back in Konoha, Tsunade receives Yamato's reports and is greatly angered over Danzo's treachery of leaking classified information of Konoha ANBU to Orochimaru. In the ANBU Root base, Sai asks Danzo to allow him to remain longer with Team Kakashi, as well as keep his name. Danzo reluctantly agrees.
