Little island beach.
Guy's words made the atmosphere here somewhat grave.
Minato Namikaze turned and told Obito to fetch Houka, then asked Guy for more details.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Guy relayed every word Kakashi had entrusted him with.
"The Rōran Ruins in the Land of Wind?"
Upon hearing that place name, Minato Namikaze slowly furrowed his brow.
Wasn't that the place where he had sealed the Dragon Vein all those years ago?
But...
Why couldn't he remember the specific details?
Minato Namikaze looked up at the azure sky, yet his mind remained completely blank.
What was going on?
Before long, Houka and Obito arrived.
"Houka! How could you keep something this important hidden for so long?!"
The moment Guy saw Houka, displeasure and anger shot from his thick brows and wide eyes.
"I didn't expect you to find this place, Guy." Houka walked over with a smile.
"Hmph!"
As Konoha's proud Blue Beast, the emotionally wounded Might Guy planted his hands on his hips, raised his watermelon-shaped head, and ignored Houka completely.
Minato Namikaze frowned, looking at Houka in confusion. "Houka, you remember the Rōran Ruins in the Land of Wind, right?"
Houka's heart stirred. He nodded and asked, "I remember, Brother Minato. Why bring that place up all of a sudden?"
When Obito had gone to fetch Houka, Kushina had been there too, so he hadn't mentioned Naruto's situation, lest she blow up. Thus, Houka still didn't know what had happened.
Guy shot him a glance and reluctantly explained, "Kakashi took Naruto, Sakura, and a new member to the Rōran Ruins in the Land of Wind on a mission. Less than a day after they left, Kakashi sent Pakkun to tell me that someone was after Naruto and asked me to come here to find you."
