"Is there anything we can do, Master?"
Torifu smiled and shook his head. "You're not strong enough yet. Keep working on it. You'll need to reach at least your Mistress's level before you can make a difference when something major happens."
If someone at Six Paths Level brought their subordinates along, they certainly wouldn't be below Kage Level. They'd all be Kage-level shinobi.
Yahiko and Konan weren't yet at Kage Level, so they wouldn't be able to help in a fight.
But Torifu wasn't blaming them. For their age, they were already incredibly strong.
Both of them had reached the peak of Jonin level. With a little more training, they'd probably be able to touch the threshold of Kage level.

Hearing the lively voices in the courtyard, Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru came out of the house as well.

"Lord Torifu, your son is truly impressive. He's so talented, too."
Orochimaru, however, was very surprised, because he'd met Yahiko and Konan before.

His words left everyone present except Torifu very surprised.
"Mr. Orochimaru,
