The adjutant retreated with the Demon Race soldiers. Nawaki Senju dispelled Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence and walked over. "Fourth Hokage, is it really all right to let them go like that?" He still felt a little uneasy.
Minato smiled. "Don't worry. They've lost their will to fight, and so have their soldiers. If they stayed, they'd be wiped out in the next battle. That adjutant is a smart man. He wouldn't make such a foolish mistake. Besides, I rather like their general, Baker Charlotte. They're all the same, really. They don't want to fight either, but orders from above leave them no choice."
His doubts dispelled, Nawaki Senju smiled. "All right, then. You understand these things much better than I do. My sister told me to follow you and learn from you, Fourth Hokage, so I'll be counting on your guidance."
Minato smiled. "And I'll be counting on yours. Come to think of it, you're the oldest one here, but now you seem to be the youngest apart from Rin. It's a little hard to get used to."
Nawaki Senju chuckled awkwardly. "Haha, it feels a little strange to me too. I'm still not quite used to it."
Rin smiled. "It's all right. It's actually pretty fun this way."
Nawaki Senju nodded happily. "Yeah. Thank you, Rin."
Minato smiled. "All right. Having Team Minato together again is something to be happy about. We ought to celebrate, but right now we have to hurry to the Land of the Dragon Vein. We'll save the celebration for another time. Let's set off. Also, Obito, this trip to the Dragon Vein is particularly important for you."
Obito asked in confusion, "Important for me?"
Minato nodded. "Yes. I've looked into it. You received the Giant Dragon's inheritance, which may have altered your bodies.
