Exhausted Neji seeks medical care while Shizune and Sakura treat injured shinobi amid secret killings. A clone slaughters medics and targets Sakura, but she identifies it as White Zetsu by noting its incorrect knowledge of Tonton’s anatomy. The real Neji rests safely with Kiba and Akamaru, while Hinata and Shino guard the frontlines. White Zetsu absorbs chakra to mimic others perfectly. Sakura alerts headquarters, prompting Shikaku to devise a counter-strategy against the infiltrator during the Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation arc.
