Konohamaru and Mugino return and are surprised to see Omoi , who is leading the Cloud team, and vice versa. Team 7 recounts how they were framed by other shinobi, who currently have the Hashirama Cell. After seeing the poison from the kunai that Konohamaru recovered, Omoi states that they are likely from the Land of Haze .
