Of course, the actions of these individuals were also perceived by Kushina in her Nine-Tails mode.
However, after a brief exchange, Konoha chose not to detain them. Firstly, the outcome of the battle was already decided, and there was no need to increase bloodshed.
Secondly, they needed someone to convey the news to Iwagakure. Clearly, these individuals were the perfect choice.
The Iwa support ninjas, considered expendable, had no idea that their whereabouts had been exposed.
With nervous hearts, these Iwa shinobi breathed a sigh of relief only after they had retreated far away.
Exchanging glances, they left the place of conflict without looking back. The situation here needed to be reported to Ōnoki quickly so that he could make a judgment.
As several Iwa ninjas departed, Nara Shikaku, having completed his mission, approached Minato and Kushina. He looked at them and said:
"Minato, Kushina, are you planning to rest in the camp for a few days or return to the village?"
Both Minato and Kushina wore helpless smiles. Rest? They wished, but would Sarutobi Hiruzen, that old man, feel comfortable leaving top-notch fighters idle?
"Ah, Shikaku, don't even mention it. Your part is finished, and you'll probably get to rest for quite some time. But Minato and I are in trouble. The next mission was already arranged before we came. We have to lead the team to continue supporting the battlefield in the Land of Water. When do we have time to rest?"
Kushina complained weakly, her words causing Obito nearby to brighten up. He hadn't known before coming here that he would continue working with Minato's team.
He had been feeling sad about the upcoming separation from Rin. But now, it was unnecessary. He could spend even more time with Rin, how delightful!
Hearing Kushina's words, Nara Shikaku could only smile helplessly. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, after all.
"Haha, hard work pays off. In that case, I won't disturb you. I'll go clean up the battlefield first."
Nara Shikaku smiled at the two and, buoyed by the joy of victory, he was suddenly full of energy.
"Alright, by the way, I've sealed the Jinchuriki, Roshi. Without my unlocking, he won't be able to use chakra, so you don't need to worry."
Just as they were about to leave, Kushina remembered Roshi and quickly turned to Nara Shikaku.
With the sealing effect of the Forbidden Technique, Kushina had absolute confidence. When she tested it before, there was simply no way to break the seal by violent means.
Not to mention, just the starting point of Sage Mode alone eliminated ninety-nine percent of people who can unlock it.
Even someone who could master Sage Mode are her fellow piers, Kushina can proudly confident that no one can unlock it.
Because with her sealing technique proficiency, the Forbidden Technique she performed wasn't something that could be undone just by learning it.
Of course, if it were Asahi, Kushina would retract her previous statement.
But what would Asahi be doing, meddling in Iwagakure's affairs? So, Roshi's sealing technique was foolproof.
Facing Kushina's reminder, Nara Shikaku gestured acknowledgment and busied himself with organizing the battlefield.
After giving their instructions, Kushina and Minato didn't linger. They set off with their respective teams for the battlefield in the Land of Water who command by Uchiha.
Although Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto were close friends, honestly, they were quite worried about letting Mikoto's group command the battle in the Land of Water.
After all, not every Uchiha was as reasonable as Mikoto and her friends.
What if they got heated on the battlefield and launched an attack regardless of the cost?
Based on Minato and Kushina's understanding of the Uchiha clan, they might just do such a thing.
So, the two of them hurried their teams towards the battlefield in the Land of Water as quickly as possible.
This made it tough for the weakest members, Sarutobi Asuma and Nohara Rin.
Of course, Asuma was used to not being pampered or loved, but Rin was a different story, and that made Obito worry about her.
He constantly asked her questions along the way, probably having learned from Kushina's experience.
Compared to the lively atmosphere among the Konoha group, Asahi felt much lonelier. Walking alone, he found himself at the border of the Land of Earth.
Looking at the vast ocean, Asahi's tired spirit relaxed in an instant. After staring at rocks and sand for so long, it was quite refreshing to see the sea.
Recalling the map of the ninja world in his mind, Asahi looked far across the sea to the other side. There lay the land of Lightning.
Because the technological development in the ninja world was skewed.
Until now, no one had risked their life to cross this ocean, which was much farther than going to the Land of Water, just to travel between two countries.
After all, compared to the terrifying ocean, wasn't the journey on land easier and safer?
But who was Asahi? Would he care about this? Not. So, without hesitation, Asahi stepped into the sea.
He didn't head towards the Land of Lightning in the east, although he missed his proud disciple, Yugito.
But since he was traveling the world, he didn't intend to miss any part of it. So, he decided to see what the northernmost part of the ninja world looked like.
And, at this moment of seeing the ocean, he seemed to know where should he establish the headquarters of the Ogami Clan.
In the future, if Ogami wanted to expand, they would need to recruit disciples from the outside.
But ordinary people might not meet Asahi's requirements, so he wasn't entirely satisfied with many of the places he had previously considered suitable headquarters locations.
After all, if ninjas wanted to find those places, it wouldn't be too difficult.
Of course, Asahi could use large-scale sealing and illusion techniques to hide the entire headquarters.
But in doing so, he would have to spend more energy arranging specific matters if he wanted to recruit disciples.
However, if he placed the headquarters in the middle of the sea and it's already harboring hidden dangers, would directly help Asahi screen out some ninjas.
Moreover, the biggest advantage of the sea compared to inland was its quietness.
Asahi needed a lot of time for cultivation now, and obviously, such a quiet and stable environment was what he needed.
So, Asahi happily decided that he would establish a headquarters on the sea as the residence of Ogami. Of course, if there was a suitable place in this area of the sea.
