I figured it out. This filler arc is what Ibiki shows to his prisoners as a form of torture.

Its like they aren't even trying anymore, we all know this the masked man is gonna be Hizashi. His survival makes no sense. If his death was used to stop war between Kumo and Kohona, then it means being that Kumo wanted to do an autopsy on him for his doujutsu secret which should mean that he did all sort of technically fatal procedures to him since they thought he was a corpse.

If he had escape before the autopsy then that means that Kumo could scream bloody murder and resume the war with Kohona which means this arc should be refocused as Kohona trying to end the war and figure out what the heck is going on.

If the Kumo kept peace it could be because they convince Hizaishi to switch sides and start a hygua clan in the cloud.

I understand that this filler arc wants to do evil Hygua but trying to do it in the vein of the uchiha is dumb. Kumo is acting really dumb if they just let a hygua corpse just walk away and make no fuss.
