On Kyoto's commercial street, across from the Land of Lightning Merchant Guild's store, a new shop had opened.
The shop was called the Cicada of Summer Sealing Scroll Shop, and a large advertising banner stood at its entrance:

Still, Minato Namikaze was no outsider. He was Jiraiya's disciple, and Jiraiya had an unusually close relationship with Princess Tsunade. He was one of their own.
Minato said to Shinmen:
"Shinmen, since you don't want to go
