He had stolen... taken away the Wind Altar, and Masahiko felt that this trip had been immensely rewarding.
After finding a secluded place to rest for the night, Masahiko put on a performance of "Masahiko Chasing the Sun" early the next morning.
"The place where the sun rises is the east, right... The sun in the Naruto World can't rise in the west, can it? I never really paid attention." Masahiko had completely lost his sense of direction and could only fly eastward. All he knew was that the Land of Fire lay east of the Land of Wind.
"So dazzling..."
After wandering in circles for several days, Masahiko finally set foot on the familiar soil of the Land of Fire. After resting up, taking a bath, changing clothes, and using the Transformation Technique, he headed straight for Konoha.
"Come to think of it, how many days did it take Naruto to reach the Land of Wind to save Gaara? This trip took me half a month..." Masahiko scratched his head, then remembered, I actually got played by Hashirama this time. What a failure...
Near Konoha.
"One, two... seven!" Masahiko cursed under his breath as he sensed the Chakra fluctuations of seven Tailed Beasts. "So aside from the Nine-Tails in Madara's summoning space, I'm the last one?"
"Hashirama, you're dead..."
Masahiko hurried back, intending to settle the score with Hashirama directly.
Upon reaching the village gate, Masahiko nearly burst out laughing. What was this? Tailed Beast Watchdogs?
The seven Tailed Beasts sat in rows along both sides of the gate, firmly bound by Hashirama's Wood Style and unconscious. They had probably been given a "smiling head pat" by Hashirama's Wood Golem Technique.
"Elder, you're back! Lord Hokage has been waiting for you!" a Hyuga guardsman called out to Masahiko.
