From the ground, a massive fireball was slowly yet rapidly flying toward Konoha!
To avoid causing a commotion, Torikaze acted directly and extinguished the flames.
The moment Kakashi landed, the Crystal shattered.
Without its support, Kakashi dropped straight to the ground.
He panted heavily.
"Grandmaster... Grandmaster, I was wrong."
Torikaze smiled at Kakashi. "Mm, very good. Every one of you achieved the results I expected. Next comes the time to collect your rewards. Follow me."
The three of them immediately broke into smiles. At least they had not suffered for nothing! Anything Grandmaster gave them was bound to be good!
The four vanished from the entrance of the Hatake Clan Grounds in an instant.
Hatake Sakumo had thought something had happened to those little brats when he heard movement outside. Yet after coming out and looking around, he found nothing at all.
After scratching his head, he returned to the clan grounds.
When they reappeared, Kakashi and the others had arrived at the Cloud Clan Grounds.
"Obito... Rin!"
Minato Namikaze, who had been chatting with Kushina, immediately trembled all over and ran toward them!
If there was anything he regretted and lamented most deeply, it was the deaths of these two disciples.
As their teacher, he had failed to protect them. That pain was something Minato Namikaze could never shake off.
Yet today, Rin and Obito had appeared before him.
Kakashi, Obito, and Rin had barely landed and had not even gotten a clear look at their surroundings before Minato Namikaze swept them into his arms.
"Minato-sensei! What are you doing? Also, aren't you going to work today?"
Obito could not stand such a mushy scene at all. He kept pushing Minato Namikaze away, but he was far weaker, so it was completely useless.
Kakashi and Rin did not react
