Koji Warns of the Price of Knowing the Future

Koji reveals that he avoids sharing too many future predictions because doing so can reshape reality in destructive ways. He confirms three rules:

1. The future is not fixed

2. Choices can redirect outcomes

3. Too much knowledge can create disaster

With this, it becomes clear that the path ahead depends entirely on decisions made now — not fate.

• They must support and protect him within the village

Their mission is to counter Mamushi, who is preparing to infiltrate Konoha undetected. The conflict has officially reached a boiling point.
