At the end of the previous episode, Menma's wound was bleeding badly all over his coat, but at the beginning of this episode, continuing the same scene, the cut was a lot smaller, there was no blood, and his coat had disappeared.
Shin was able to survive Naruto's Rasengan to the head and is seen tied up in the next scene, unharmed.

Menma: I'm part of a clan that committed all those crimes. I should have died then. No, things would have been much better if I had died. I got scared when I thought of the villagers. I wanted to forget it all. So I used a technique that causes memory loss and ran away.

Neji: It's meaningless to kill a criminal who has no memories of his crime. If you truly want to get revenge, then help him retrieve his memories. Then you can do whatever you want. I won't stop you then.
