Just then, the young Queen Sara reached the railing, but it suddenly collapsed with a bang.
She looked up in panic, but her whole body was already falling downward!
"Shimada!"
Without a second thought, Minato prepared to flash over.
He had originally thought Kushina would stay by Queen Sara's side to protect her, but there was no sign of Kushina nearby.
Yet their mission here was to protect Sara.
So he acted without hesitation!
Shibi Aburame reacted as well. As a Jonin of the Hidden Leaf Village, he immediately prepared to direct his insects to help.
But someone was faster than them.
"Wood Release!"
Kitahara Kaede's body flashed in an instant, arriving at the third-floor balcony of another tower.
A vast expanse of trees burst from Kitahara Kaede's right hand, spreading out with a smack before flattening into what looked like a huge wooden bed.
When Queen Sara fell, she landed on the barrier layer Kitahara Kaede had created.
The branches contained plenty of rubbery material, so when she hit them with a smack, she was not injured.
"Whoosh!"
Kitahara Kaede lightly waved his right hand, and the trees withdrew. The still-dazed Queen Sara was carried over to his tower by the moving branches.
"Looks like you weren't hurt," Kitahara Kaede said.
"You saved me?" Queen Sara seemed to have lost focus for a moment.
"Yeah." Kitahara Kaede nodded.
"Then why did you save me?!"
However, Queen Sara immediately took the crown off her head with one hand and glared at Kitahara Kaede. "Do you know you ruined the plan I carefully prepared?!"
"Now Sara will never believe me!"
"..." Kitahara Kaede.
Observing Kitahara Kaede? (^_-)
Hashirama Senju: What's with this queen?
Hashirama Senju: Her daughter looks polite and gentle, so why is she, the mother, so fierce?
