With the completion of the three fuinjutsu, the pendant floating in the air instantly flashed with a brilliant light.
Then, as the light faded away, the pendant descended and disappeared into its surface.
"Phew~"
Asahi sighed, reaching out to take the pendant before him. He could distinctly sense his chakra sealed within it. Closing his eyes, he attempted to channel a bit of chakra into the pendant.
Asahi immediately felt the call of the sealed chakra within the pendant responding to him.
Moreover, due to the subtle tricks Asahi employed when carving the names, he could easily distinguish this call as coming from that specific pendant.
Satisfied, Asahi took out a piece of string from his pocket, strung the pendant, and tucked it into his sleeve.
He then took out another unprocessed jade and checked the time.
It took Asahi about half an hour to make one pendant. If he persisted, he should be able to finish crafting all seven pendants before the end of today's training.
Without hesitation, Asahi immersed himself once again in the art of carving
Meanwhile, Kushina and others naturally noticed Asahi's actions. However, curious as they were, since Asahi hadn't explained, they refrained from asking.
"Sister Kushina, what do you think Master is doing?"
Seeing Asahi start carving the jade again, Yūhi Kurenai asked Kushina with some curiosity.
Kushina was also puzzled. She could tell that Asahi had just used three high-level sealing jutsu in succession, but as for what his intention was, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"I don't know either. Master has always been mysterious. I believe he has his own reasons. Let's continue our training. I've clearly felt the progress in our training. I believe it won't be long before we can apply it in real combat."
Kushina shook her head; she didn't know much more than the others.
"What! Sister Kushina, are you progressing so fast? I haven't even memorized all the moves yet!"
Hearing Kushina's words, Obito was somewhat surprised.
Nodding, Kushina replied to Obito, "Of course, as a senior, my strength is originally higher. Is there a problem with progressing faster? You, just now, were boasting in front of the master. Focus on your training."
Obito, feeling a bit challenged, although he fell behind Kushina for a bit, found solace in the fact that Kushina was older and stronger. So, it was understandable.
"Alright!! I've decided. From now on, I'm going to use all my strength. Even if I have to skip lunch, I'll grasp the basics of the Inner Eight Extremities Fist!"
Hearing Obito's spirited declaration, Kushina shouted with amusement, "Don't make rash vows. Lunch can still be eaten; I've already asked Minato to bring us bento."
Hmm~
Obito, who just made a bold statement, lit up at Kushina's words. Minato bringing them lunch meant Rin might come too.
No, I have to train well before Rin arrives, show off a bit in front of her.
"Hey! Haha~"
Everyone looked at Obito, who was like a rooster, with some speechlessness.
Is it necessary? Just saying that there's lunch to eat, and he's so excited?
Only Kurenai vaguely guessed the reason behind Obito's excitement.
To be honest, she was a bit envious of Rin. Obito valued Rin so much!
Perhaps influenced by Obito's enthusiasm, all four of them started training vigorously.
When they got tired from training, they sat down in place, practicing chakra to shift their focus.
And so, it quickly became noon.
Asahi made three more jade pendants. Apart from Yahiko's and Nagato's, Kushina's jade pendant had also been officially completed.
Looking up at the sun hanging high in the sky and the occasional flying birds, Asahi had a vague feeling in his heart that peace might not last much longer.
Turning his head to look into the distance, he saw Minato Namikaze with blond hair rushing towards them.
The promised time for delivering lunch had been delayed by more than half an hour due to the Hokage's sudden summons.
By now, Kushina had also spotted Minato approaching, and she wasn't angry.
Minato was always someone who kept his promises, especially to her. So, the fact that Minato was late likely meant something had happened.
"What's wrong, Minato? Did something happen?" Kushina asked with a hint of confusion as Minato arrived.
Minato touched his hair and smiled, "Sorry, Kushina. I was summoned by the Hokage just now, and that's why I'm so late."
Upon hearing this, Asahi immediately understood that his intuition was correct. If Minato was delayed like this, it was definitely not a trivial matter.
"Is it because the ninja world is unsettled again? Are they sending you out on a mission?" Asahi asked.
Minato, upon hearing Asahi's words, couldn't help but admire him. The fact that he could discern such matters so accurately was impressive.
It seemed like a significant portion of Konoha's top ninjas had been summoned, including Minato himself.
"Indeed, the ninja world is getting restless again. I've been assigned a mission. I have to leave soon," Minato replied with a serious expression.
Asahi nodded, understanding that a new mission meant trouble brewing in the ninja world.
The approaching war was no longer a distant threat; it was becoming a reality.
Asahi hadn't even said anything yet, but he had already guessed what was going on.
Nevertheless, Asahi was considered one of their own, so Minato didn't hide anything.
"Yeah, Lord Asahi. According to the information from the border ninja, something seems off in the Wind Country. The Hokage has instructed me to lead a team to investigate the situation at the border of the Wind Country."
"What? Does that mean Rin is also going on a mission with you? Won't it be dangerous?" Obito, who had been a bit down earlier because he hadn't seen Rin, was now surprised by Minato's revelation.
Minato chuckled, "No need to worry too much. There are many squads participating in this mission, and the level of danger isn't too high. Besides, Rin is my student. Even if there's danger, I'll risk my life to protect my students."
"Please make sure to protect Rin!" Obito said, bowing deeply to Minato.
Seeing Obito's reaction, Minato and Kushina exchanged a glance. This kid, he's quite similar to Minato (Kushina).
Unconsciously, Kurenai began to envy Rin again. It's so fortunate to have someone caring for you like this.
Even Shisui couldn't help but give his cousin another look. What kind of girl could enchant Obito like this, making him talk about Rin so passionately?
