It was mentioned in passing during chapter 4That was a very nice development from the skipped Wave arc. I'm trying to remember if there was an earlier mention in the story about a team that went missing in Wave Country while doing an escort mission (I think so, but it's been a while since I read the whole thing). If there was, it was probably some point during the Root arc and it was a side note I didn't pay too much attention to.

To be fair, they won due to a nicely timed Asspull. If Naruto was just a second slower, the genjutsu would've caught him instead of popping loose due to the summoning chakra expulsion. And then he wouldn't have been able to finish.They won, because of a nice Asspull from Naruto, but in a real battle, they would have lost. It shows a nice difference between training and experience. All in all, an excellent fight, and culmination to the Chunin Exams in Kumo.
I'd comment here, but what I recalled in my head about the scene doesn't match up with what's written (for some reason, my mind had him shoving his way past the others before continuing panicked charge out of the building rather than being in the lead of the group ignoring the rest of them). Though I think it does illustrate a lack of concern for the others. Yes, it's not wrong to make sure you get clear of a burning building. But if you notice the rest of the group he's with is helping one person and moving together orderly rather than panicked flight from the building. Group moving in orderly fashion to exit vs running off alone to the exit. Which choice a person takes does reveal details about them (such as failure to follow protocol for evacuation of a burning building).One other thing with Sasuke is the somewhat silly expectation that a small boy was somehow wrong in making sure he escaped a burning building. He's a kid for Christ sakes. If what Naruto did wasn't above and beyond, he wouldn't be so recognized for it in the first place. Looking down on Sasuke seemed a bit heavy handed. And even then, it doesn't fit his character. Like the rest, this was my major issue with the fic; the sheer ball-dropping when it came to writing Sasuke.
To me, that comes across as "Orochimaru is the holder of the contract, so she can't add people without his permission or his being there." Tsunade and Jiraiya are both the 'holders' for their summons (as eldest user or whatever), so can approve of additions. Anko is not, thus can't. Alternately, we can go with "Hiashi doesn't want her on it" that is mentioned in one of the ANs a one of three reasons Hinata's not on it (chp 20). And a another AN that specifically mentions that Anko isn't the holder for the contract (chp 19).the idea that Anko couldn't pass over the contract also seemed a bit odd. A better explanation would be that Manda was hardly the ones they wanted to be making deals with, rather then her being unable to pass it on. Even then you could have found an excuse.
