Elder Setsuna left without causing the slightest stir in Konoha.
However, the Third Hokage's faction, upon receiving the news, could do nothing more than sneer in disdain.

"Sister Mikoto, there's something about this Ninjutsu I'd like to ask you."
Uzumaki Kushina, sweating profusely, wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Mikoto with a bright smile as she sought guidance on the Ninjutsu.

When Uzumaki Kushina saw the finished Ninjutsu, her eyes immediately lit up, and she said with a laugh:
"What a beautiful Ninjutsu."
It had to be said that, even
