Not knowing his Izanagi has already expired, Danzo finds himself severely wounded and beginning to lose control over the First Hokage's cells inside of him. Inoichi objects to the idea, but Shikaku, who recalls the words spoken by his son Shikamaru, decides to put his faith in Naruto and lets him go. They'll have plenty of opportunity to put it into action when news arrives from the Sand Village that Gaara, Naruto's former rival and now Kazekage of the Sand, has been kidnapped! Meanwhile, Sasuke confronts Danzo and, after seeing the many Sharingan embedded in his enemy's right arm, angrily questions if Danzo is truly the one who ordered Itachi to kill the Uchiha Clan. Having lost his parents to the Hidden Leaf, an orphaned Nagato was on the verge of death when he met Konan and Yahiko, who were also war orphans.
