Minato hadn't expected the blond-haired person to be an Uzumaki, too.
But why was their hair a different color?
"Minato, don't worry. I'm feeling fine now. What about the Nine-Tails? How is it?"
Minato Namikaze smiled. "It's fine. With these people helping us, the Nine-Tails won't have a chance to cause any more trouble."
"These people" clearly meant Minato and the others, but Kushina still didn't quite understand.
Inside the house, Chirori watched Naruto bawling and didn't know what to say.
"Are these two so careless about their baby? Or do they trust me that much?"
The Uzumaki Puppet brought Kushina and Minato Namikaze back to the Nine-Tails.
Minato and Yahiko were still keeping the Nine-Tails occupied, while Hiruzen Sarutobi used Earth Style: Earth Flow River to turn the ground to mud, making it easy for the Nine-Tails' enormous body to get stuck.
"Minato, is that a Shadow Clone? I hardly ever see you use one," Kushina said, puzzled.
But Minato Namikaze shook his head. "No, that's another me. I just don't know where they came from."
Beside Torifu on the Hokage Rock, Biwako and Tianlu were unconscious.
He'd treated them on the way here, so they should survive. They'd just need to remain unconscious in the hospital for a while.
"Biwako, my sister-in-law... I saved you in another world. I wonder if you can sense it."
On the ground, Hiruzen caught sight of Kushina out of the corner of his eye—but who was the blond-haired person?
How had so many mysterious people gotten into Konoha?
The Uzumaki Puppet drew out the Adamantine Sealing Chains and gently lowered Kushina to the ground.
Then it looked toward Minato Namikaze, but when it spoke, Torifu's voice came out.
"Hold down the Nine-Tails. Don't let him move."
Minato Namikaze immediately did as instructed.
