Konoha.
Senyo, having returned to the village, had no idea things were so lively over in the Land of Lightning.
Otherwise, he would have stayed behind no matter what to see how things turned out.
After bringing everyone back, Minato went off to deal with the related loose ends.
After killing Victor, Senyo used Shadow Transmission to instantly teleport into the shadow beneath Karin's feet.
