After being attacked by the traitors, Minato and Obito arrive to back up Rin and Kakashi. The two traitors escape to regroup. The last escortee asks Minato to ensure that the missive is real, as two of them were given scrolls. It is discovered that the missive was a fake and the other escortee that fell had the other missive. Obito immediately leaves to save the escortee and the others reluctantly follow.
