Not to mention everyone else—even Ōnoki felt that Rasa was rather pitiful right now.
He had run into something like this for no good reason.
Come to think of it, the Akatsuki members' destination also seemed to be the Land of Wind.
In other words, even if Rasa had not brought Yamato back at this time and had not happened to run into Obito and Black Zetsu,
once Black Zetsu and Obito reached the Land of Wind, they would still have found Yamato.
No matter which way things went, Yamato seemed destined to run into Obito and Black Zetsu.
What was this?
Inescapable fate?
"Enough. Save the chatter. Let's return to the village first."
Yan could not be bothered to discuss compensation with Rasa at a time like this. Since Obito had already escaped, what was the point of staying here?
To enjoy the scenery?
Thus, Ōnoki once again served as their chauffeur, taking the group back to Konoha.
As for Rasa... he was still feeling miserable, and besides, his flying speed was too slow. Ōnoki was faster.
Along the way, Kakashi recounted everything that had happened in great detail.
After hearing it, even Yan was speechless.
"So, if Yamato hadn't had an upset stomach and hadn't gone to the bathroom, you might have passed the Akatsuki members by perfectly?"
"...Probably. Most likely."
Kakashi hesitated before answering in an uncertain tone.
Judging by the direction Obito had come from and the direction they had been heading toward Konoha, if Yamato had not delayed them for a while, they really would have missed each other perfectly.
At least in the sky, even if Obito and Black Zetsu had spotted them, there would have been nothing they could do.
And if they had been prepared, Yamato would not have been silently abducted.
