Phew!
Only after seeing those azure-blue eyes did Tsunade truly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Granny, you're back!"
Naruto grinned, but at that moment, his body suddenly began to sway. His vision went black, and he toppled to one side.
However, Tsunade, who had kept her attention on Naruto the entire time, had already noticed. She quickly stepped forward and caught him just before he hit the ground.
She then scooped Naruto into her arms and walked into the clan compound.
But when she passed Nagato, she paused briefly. After giving him a nod, she continued onward.
If Tsunade had previously agreed to let Nagato and Konan stay in Konoha—and even directly within the Senju clan compound—out of consideration for Jiraiya's sake, then now, she truly believed in them.

"Kakashi, kill him!"
After leaving those words behind, Tsunade carried Naruto into the clan compound.
"Heh!"
"She really does have some of my old bearing!"

Kakashi's entire body was surrounded by blue arcs of electricity, and an incomparably violent aura erupted from him.
Kakashi was no stranger to Rasa. He had fought him several times, and if the White Zetsu clone had not interfered last time, Rasa should have already returned to the Pure Land.
Rasa raised his head and looked at Kakashi, who stood before him
