"Master, please wait a moment. Let me bid farewell to them with Minato, and we'll be ready to depart."
Kushina said eagerly, then headed towards the remaining four members of the Konoha team.
The four surviving members of the Konoha team were in a dilemma.
According to logic, after Minato and Kushina had dealt with the enemies, they should have quickly awaited further instructions.
However, Asahi's sudden appearance left them unsure of the situation.
It was clear to anyone with discerning eyes that there was something special about the relationship between Kushina and Asahi.
Now, Asahi, Kushina, and Minato were catching up. The team hesitated because interrupting them might cause trouble.
Given the progress of the war, they had memorized the strong figures in the Konoha village.
Looking at them, there was no one like Asahi among Konoha's formidable ninja.
As Asahi wasn't an ordinary ninja, it was apparent that he wasn't from Konoha.
If there were secret dealings between Asahi, Kushina, and Minato, they didn't want to involve themselves accidentally.
So, torn by these thoughts, the four individuals stayed put, standing awkwardly and waiting for the conversation between the big shots to conclude.
When they saw Kushina approaching them with Minato, they understood that the conversation between Asahi, Kushina, and Minato was over.
Anxiously, they took a couple of steps forward to meet Kushina and Minato. Seeing the admiration on their faces, Kushina couldn't help but smile.
"Cough, everyone, Kushina and I have another mission, so we'll leave the battlefield to you."
Minato, observing Kushina's delight, couldn't help but sigh and speak with a hint of helplessness.
He knew how much Kushina enjoyed the admiration and recognition from others. If he waited for Kushina to express her thoughts, it might take a lot of time.
Kushina, however, didn't show any surprise or dissatisfaction with Minato's words. It was clear that they had encountered such situations before.
"Don't worry, Lord Minato. We'll take care of things from here and ensure there are no mistakes."
The four members assured quickly. With that, they didn't linger but immediately started cleaning up the battlefield.
Satisfied, Kushina nodded and, holding Minato's hand, walked over to where Asahi was waiting.
"Master, everything is arranged. Shall we proceed?"
Kushina said enthusiastically as if she could already picture Obito and Kurenai's surprised expressions upon seeing Asahi.
Asahi didn't waste any time and nodded, gesturing for them to lead the way. And so, the three of them set off towards a certain border in the Land of Earth.
The ninja world was vast, but for speedsters like them, distance was never an issue. In no time, they covered the distance of over a hundred miles and arrived.
Along the way, they encountered many Iwa ninjas, and as they progressed, the probability of encountering Iwa ninjas increased.
From this, it was easy to infer that they were approaching an essential location for an Iwa team.
Although they encountered numerous Iwa sentries on the way, it was meaningless for Minato and Kushina, given their skills and speed.
Whether it was Minato's Flying Raijin Jutsu or Kushina's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, they could easily take care of these unfortunate ninjas in an instant.
Finally, as they continued deeper, Asahi also caught sight of Obito and Kurenai, and the others.
However, what surprised Asahi was that, at this moment, Obito and the group were engaged in a battle.
No need to say, it was definitely people from Iwagakure. Faced with this situation, Minato and Kushina's immediate reaction was to go help.
However, Asahi could see through their intentions at a glance. So, before they could act, Asahi directly stopped them.
Come on, one of the reasons Asahi came here was to observe the strength of Obito and Kurenai. The ongoing battle before him was so coincidence.
Only under life and death situations could one truly understand a person's limits.
Otherwise, even if Asahi personally took action, he wouldn't be able to know someone's limits.
The current battle with these four high-level ninjas fighting against Obito and the others was the perfect scenario.
With relatively close strengths, they couldn't establish a one-sided suppression, making it easier to gauge each person's true strength.
If Minato and Kushina were to join the fight at this point, it would be ridiculous.
Was he supposed to let them show off by effortlessly defeating Iwa's high-level ninjas? Minato and Kushina also instantly understood Asahi's intention.
So, after Asahi stopped them, they patiently concealed their presence and calmly watched.
Of course, Asahi wouldn't hide. What's the point of acting sneaky? He was upfront and honest, wasn't that great?
Therefore, Asahi directly cast a genjutsu, making himself "invisible."
Sensing Asahi suddenly disappearing, both Kushina and Minato, who were hiding, couldn't help but reveal a hint of shock in their eyes.
It should be noted that they were not ordinary high-level ninjas; they had truly crossed the threshold into the ranks of Kage-level.
Despite this, they still couldn't detect Asahi's techniques. Only those who had experienced it firsthand could understand the terror involved.
Regardless of what Kushina and Minato were thinking, Asahi was thoroughly enjoying the show.
The four high-level ninjas from Iwagakure:
Obito holding one, Kurenai holding another, Kakashi holding one, and Rin and Asuma collaborating on the last one.
This unintentionally divided the battlefield into four smaller arenas.
Of course, it didn't mean that everyone fought independently without interfering with each other.
There was a silent and coordinated collaboration between teammates.
For instance, Kakashi occasionally assisted Kurenai to relieve some pressure. Or like now, Kakashi and Kurenai successfully regrouped.
"Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death!" As Kurenai performed continuous hand seals, a genjutsu enveloped the Iwa ninja facing Obito.
The Iwa ninja, due to momentarily not paying attention to Kurenai, found himself trapped in the genjutsu.
Naturally, Obito wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
Chakra flowed through his body, muscles tensed, and Obito charged directly towards the trapped Iwa ninja.
Sensing that he was entangled by the tree, the Iwa ninja felt his heart shrink. He knew he had fallen into a genjutsu.
The girl in front of him was undoubtedly a genjutsu expert. However, experienced as he was on the battlefield, he wouldn't panic.
In such situations, panicking would only lead to mistakes and cause him to miss the optimal time to break free.
