Konoha.
Time rewound a little.
When Minato failed to persuade Kushina at home right away, he headed to the Hokage's Office.
Upon arriving, the first thing he did was sense whether anyone in Kumogakure had undone the seals on the Flying Thunder God Kunai.
To his surprise, he discovered that many Konoha ninja stationed there in secret had undone the Flying Thunder God seals.
Minato quickly created several Shadow Clones and flew over according to the Flying Thunder God coordinates.
This was where the flexibility afforded by his immense Chakra as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki became apparent.
Even the Shadow Clones he created could use Flying Thunder God teleportation across extreme distances.
Without the Nine-Tails, he probably would have had to go himself.
And a single round trip would have drained all his Chakra.
The Shadow Clones dispelled themselves shortly after arriving.
This method of gathering intelligence was not only fast, but also conserved Chakra.
Minato instantly learned what was happening in the Land of Lightning.
Madara Uchiha had actually flown straight toward Kumogakure in a grand display.
He was obviously planning to capture the Jinchuriki.
Upon hearing this, Minato's first thought was to find Senyo.
He called the Uchiha.
The Uchiha clansmen immediately went to Senyo's home to look for him.
Senyo had always been free-spirited, and even though phones existed, he could not be bothered installing one at home.
Still, it was not far away, so it would not delay them much.
It was afternoon. Having just finished his meal, Senyo was resting on a recliner.
Karin had her hair pinned up. Though she wore only ordinary clothes for lounging at home, her figure was curvaceous.
She wore no makeup, yet her eyes always held a honeyed tenderness like water, revealing a seductive charm she had lacked before.
