Yamato assumes command of Team Kakashi, where Sai, lacking human emotions, insults Naruto and Sakura. Before departure, Sai receives secret orders from Danzo via an ANBU Root shinobi. Jiraiya briefs Yamato and Tsunade in Kakashi’s hospital room about the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed within Naruto. He explains the demon fox’s cloak and reveals a chest scar inflicted by Naruto during a Four-Tailed loss of control. The newly formed Team Kakashi then departs on their mission to capture a spy within Orochimaru’s subordinates and gather intelligence regarding Sasuke Uchiha.
