So they could just relax and cheer them on. Making them handle something like this would be purely making things difficult for them.
"Our main force is just the three of us. Minato can provide some help, but not much. The other two are just cheerleaders."
With that, Hashirama gained an understanding. "Alright, I get it. We'll go talk tomorrow, then come back and practice first."
Tobirama Senju was already too exhausted to complain. He said to Ashina, "Look at the mess you caused. I told you back then not to go out to sea, but you insisted."
"And now, your grandson has to spend a fortune moving to the mainland."
Ashina had not known this would happen either. Back then, to avoid war, the sea had been the best place. There had been nowhere else to go.
"Alright, alright. This isn't Ashina's fault. After all, no one can predict the future. What he did at the time was right."
Ashina nodded repeatedly. "Exactly, exactly. I was protecting my people. After all, Sealing Techniques attract attention!"
Though he said so aloud, Ashina felt miserable inside. Looking at it now, going to an island to establish a nation had truly served no purpose.
Not a single enemy who was supposed to come had been avoided, while none of the intended benefits had been achieved.
But he could not just admit that it had been his fault, could he? Wouldn't that make him lose face?
"So what exactly do we need to do? Does this old man need to lend a hand?"
Torikaze nodded after hearing this. "It would naturally be best if Lord Ashina is willing to go. If possible, it would be best if the master's wife came as well. The main thing is protecting the Land of Whirlpools' houses."
