yes they do

Naruto wonders what it means for there to be a plot to destroy Konoha. "Danzō does not like Tsunade because, as the favourite student of the Third Hokage and the granddaughter of the First Hokage, she embodies their principles." Sakura tells Naruto

"Tsunade handpicked every member of Konoha's current hierarchy and everyone she selected also possesses those principles. Since Danzō does not agree with those principles, it is very likely that he is planning to collaborate with Orochimaru to destroy Konoha, so that Tsunade would become ousted as Hokage following the aftermath, allowing Danzō to become the new Hokage and to subsequently rebuild the village as he sees fit" Yamato adds.

"Orochimaru failed last time, Danzō is most likely offering internal support this time around, with Sai being the mutual conduit" John Added. Yamato tells them that Sai must be eliminated, and decides to follow Orochimaru, Sai and Kabuto.

Yamato's wood clone continues to pursue Orochimaru, Sai and Kabuto, and they decide to set a trap. Kabuto creates a corpse that resembles Sai and rigs it with kunai, shuriken and explosive tags. The Yamato wood clone inadvertently triggers the trap, cutting off his communication with the real Yamato.

As John Yamato, Naruto and Sakura attempt to pursue them through the forest, Naruto's vision becomes blurred, causing him to nearly hit a tree trunk. He manoeuvres himself out of the way in the nick of time, and John, who was keeping his eyes on Naruto, attempts to get to higher ground as well; however, the wound in his right arm causes him to release his grip and he plummets.

Naruto attempts to catch him in mid-air but fails, and Yamato speeds to the ground in order to safely catch him. Naruto notices the wound on her arm and asks how he got it, prompting Sakura to lie to him that it was caused by Orochimaru. John tells them that he will be fine, but Yamato tells him to rest. Despite his initial words that they could not waste any time in their pursuit, Yamato explains that there is a difference between rushing and being reckless.

As John and Sakura attempts to heal his wounds (to no avail), Yamato and Naruto walk into the woods. as soon as they get out of Sakura's John earshot, Yamato tells Naruto that him who caused John injury. causing Naruto to recall a bloodied Jiraiya who questioned whether he retained any memory of the attack or not. Naruto realises that he was the one who destroyed Tenchi Bridge and the surrounding terrain, and Yamato berates him for succumbing to anger and unleashing a power he was already aware could hurt the individuals near him. Yamato tells Naruto that the Nine-Tailed Fox's power is not his own, and to not rely on that power to save or protect. Instead, he is told to rely on his own natural abilities, which he claims makes Naruto strong enough

As Naruto and Yamato discuss a combat strategy, Sakura and John decide to read Sai's picture book. they invite Naruto and Yamato to come take a look too, and they discover that the book is about two young boys who fight enemies, vanquishing them and taking their armour and weapons. In the middle, the two boys face off against one another; however, one page is blank while the other page has a black-haired boy with no face. "the black-haired boy is Sai" Naruto points out, " then the other boy must be his friend/brother, the drawing looks a lot like you John" Sakura said "I don't remember much from my childhood but I do remember a kid that looked like Sai that was always with me and Ino. but I always thought is was Sasuke" John said. before they decided to follow the clones
