"Of course I'm not worried about that. From everything Uchiha Yuu has done, I can tell that something major is about to happen. Deidara is still too young, and with his flighty personality, I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand the pressure. In the end, the village may fall into someone else's hands."
The village would certainly endure, but who would control its future development was a source of constant worry for Ōnoki. After spending his entire life painstakingly building the village, he would always feel dissatisfied if it ended up in an outsider's hands.
"You'll be in the ground in a few years anyway. Why worry about something like that? At least the younger generation won't be threatened. It would be good enough if they could live out their lives in peace."
Ebizo tried to reason with him. At their age, power and wealth no longer mattered. They had already enjoyed everything there was to enjoy. The only thing they still cared about was the younger generation left in the village, and they wanted to pave the way for them while they were still alive.
Ōnoki let out a sigh, then closed his eyes and lay back in the hot spring, no longer arguing with him over the matter.

Kirigakure arrived at once, filled with unease. Minato Namikaze, meanwhile, traveled with Kushina as if they were on their honeymoon. Iwagakure caused the greatest commotion on the road, with Deidara leaving countless Clay Bombs behind and forcing the group of ninja accompanying him to constantly apologize to others.
Fortunately, they all obeyed their orders
