Kabuto acting just like Orochimaru with all those reanimations and Zetsu clones is making me nervous after he mentioned using Yamato for an experiment

Episode Context

Coming off 'The Bridge to Peace,' which laid bare critical Akatsuki plans and escalated the war's stakes, this episode deliberately sidelines Naruto to keep him in the dark while larger forces mobilize. It serves as a narrative bridge between those major revelations and the next episode, 'The Artist Returns,' which pivots fully into the reanimation conflict with returning adversaries. At episode 254 of 500, the series is deep into war buildup, and this installment balances character-driven humor with the accelerating momentum of the Fourth Great Ninja War.
