MSIN: Chapter 45
"What, Kushina disappeared?"
The news of the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki's disappearance was transmitted to the Hokage through the fastest and safest means. By the time the message reached Minato Namikaze, who was on a confidential mission towards the Iwa Village, half a day had already passed.
Following priority, Minato immediately abandoned his current mission and used his space-time jutsu to quickly appear before the Third Hokage.
"Not disappeared, but teleported away on the battlefield." In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage still had his pipe in his mouth. His expression now carried a touch of worry.
Was sending Kushina to the battlefield a mistake after all? But who could have predicted that she wouldn't want to return to the Leaf Village, and Tsunade would cover for her?
"In any case, you're the only one who can find her quickly, Minato. Go to the Land of Wind immediately. Find Kushina as fast as you can. Once you find her, bring her back to the Leaf Village immediately." The Third Hokage instructed.
Hopefully, Kushina is alright.
Well, compared to Kushina, Haori was only a secondary concern, or even a non-concern.
"Understood." Minato nodded, then disappeared from the office in the blink of an eye.
After several teleportations, with almost no time wasted, Minato appeared before Tsunade.
Yes, using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato could freely travel between battlefields.
But this wasn't Minato's usual way of traveling. Using the Flying Thunder God Technique for ultra-long distances would put a significant strain on his body. However, this wasn't the time to worry about such trivial matters.
He was extremely worried about Kushina's safety.
"Minato, you're here."
The battle had just ended, and the sudden appearance of a figure made everyone tense. But when they saw who it was, their tense expressions instantly relaxed.
"Tsunade-sama, what happened? Where's Kushina?" Minato asked directly, his question cutting to the chase. The Yellow Flash, even at times, could be quite anxious. After all, humans are prone to irrational moments.
"It's like this…"
Tsunade didn't beat around the bush. She simply explained the events of the previous night to Minato.
"Was it Haori? His judgment at that time was sound." Minato said. While Haori's judgment wasn't wrong, it was indeed necessary to take Kushina off the battlefield at that time. However, the unfortunate thing was that he couldn't use space-time jutsu, so he could only leave in such a crude manner.
"I understand the situation roughly. I think Kushina should be fine. After arriving here, I could sense the Flying Thunder God Technique seal left on her. I'll go check on her now."
Minato said, and without waiting for Tsunade's response, he immediately flew off again.
The distance the Flying Thunder God Technique could teleport depended on the amount of chakra used each time. Generally, the farther the distance, the more chakra it consumed. But once a certain limit was exceeded, no matter how much chakra was added, the distance wouldn't increase by a single meter.
Similarly, Minato's ability to sense his own seals was also limited. He couldn't sense his seals when he was too far away.
Therefore, it was only after arriving at this command center that Minato could sense the seal he had left on Kushina.
He disappeared from the command center's location and then appeared in a rather strange space.
"The Land of Rain?"
Minato subconsciously made a judgment about the location's coordinates. Then, he saw Kushina.
"Kushina? Are you alright?!"
Fortunately, Kushina seemed to be fine.
"Minato?"
In this rather quiet environment, Kushina was startled by Minato's sudden appearance and voice.
"Couldn't you give me a heads-up next time you appear? If I hadn't been familiar with your chakra, I would have attacked you just now."
People scaring people can scare them to death. Minato was undoubtedly fast, but his appearances often startled people. Even Kushina, who knew him best, was occasionally startled by him.
Minato chuckled wryly. He really couldn't do that.
"Are you injured?"
"Injured? No, but I had to suppress the Nine-Tails again, and I used up a lot of chakra. Compared to me, it's Haori…"
"How is Haori?" For the Leaf Hokage and the higher-ups, finding Kushina was paramount. Haori was only a secondary concern, or even a non-concern. For Minato, Haori's importance couldn't compare to Kushina's, but he was still a Leaf ninja, Kushina's student, so he couldn't just ignore him.
(ShixT9: Damn dude , if Haori hears this i think he'll join the akatsuki)
"I don't know how Haori is doing now. We might have been separated when we arrived here. I haven't been able to sense him yet. But he was injured quite a bit on the battlefield, so I'm a little worried about him. I think this space is a bit strange, not very safe."
Minato sighed inwardly. Judging from Kushina's tone, she wouldn't leave Haori behind in this situation.
"I'll send you back to the Leaf Village first. I'll find Haori." He still offered his suggestion.
"How are you going to find him? We've never been here before, we don't know the terrain, and your sensing abilities are clearly not as good as mine… I'll find Haori. He's my student. I can't just leave him behind."
Minato thought to himself, "As expected." But this was still enemy territory, so he needed to find Haori and leave as soon as possible.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Kushina, "Wait here for me. I'll be back soon, and then we'll look for him together."
Minato left this strangely-shaped area again. He needed to go back to the command center and explain the situation to Tsunade, letting her know that Kushina was safe, so that the Leaf ninjas wouldn't worry too much.
Minato quickly reported back and then rushed back.
Why was he in such a hurry? Because he couldn't guarantee Kushina's patience. If he delayed even a little, Kushina would definitely act first.
"You're too slow, Minato!"
And so, Minato was once again met with Kushina's complaints. In fact, he could guarantee that the time it took him to go and come back was absolutely no more than five minutes.
"I was as fast as I could. After all, I had to explain everything to Tsunade-sama." He had to explain, but Minato didn't have any resentment. After all, people often have a lot of patience for those they love.
