Hashirama wonders who Minato is, and is elated to discover he's the Fourth Hokage, and then apprehensive when Orochimaru tells him Tsunade is the Fifth Hokage.

Tobirama is outraged, and flares his chakra, only for Hashirama to also flare his, almost making the Naka Shrine crumble. Hashirama praises Itachi, and explains that a proper answer would take time. Orochimaru reveals to them the war Madara is waging, to which Minato and Tobirama sense Naruto and Madara in the distance. Tobirama tries to leave, but is restrained by Orochimaru.
