Hokage Is Missing!!!

In Hokage's office, Minato Namikaze was frowning as he reviewed an intelligence scroll concerning the battle between the Hidden Rock Village and Kumogakure.

Suddenly, a faint azure glimmer entered the corner of his eye.

A butterfly made of pure blue energy fluttered lightly in through the half-open window.

It circled twice in the air.

Then landed steadily on the back of Minato's hand holding the pen.

"Where did this butterfly come from?"

A trace of surprise flashed through Minato Namikaze's eyes.

The butterfly had no physical sensation, only an icy, pure energy fluctuation.

He was just about to reach out with his other hand and touch it.

But the blue butterfly suddenly shattered, turning into specks of dim blue light that vanished completely into the air.

Minato Namikaze watched the fading blue light, deep in thought.

"This feeling... Reishi?"

In the entire Ninja World, only one person could wield an energy independent of chakra with such exquisite precision.

"Was that Seisen?"

Minato Namikaze rose to his feet.

He was about to leave his desk and head to the underground base to ask Hyuga Seisen's Shadow Clone stationed there whether something had happened.

Bang!

The solid wooden doors to Hokage's office were violently shoved open.

The tremendous force sent the door crashing into the wall with a dull boom.

Kushina rushed in, still wearing her apron, her face deathly pale.

Her vivid red hair was a little disheveled.

"Minato! Little Hokage is gone!"

Kushina's voice was filled with undisguised terror and panic.

Minato Namikaze felt his mind buzz.

A golden flash erupted in the office.

He instantly appeared before Kushina, gripping his wife's shoulders tightly with both hands.

"What happened? Tell me slowly!"

Minato forced himself to retain Hokage's composure, but the slight tremor in his voice still betrayed his anxiety.
