Minato Namikaze nodded after hearing him out. Jin Uchiha's arrangements were indeed the safest choice for the moment.
"All right, I understand." Minato smiled. "A little rest would be good."
"It's been a long time since I spent any time with Kushina, too."
Obito had wanted to say something more, but since Minato had already made the decision, he could only swallow his words.
Kakashi and Rin Nohara had no objections either.
Though the village rarely mentioned just how terrifying Madara Uchiha was, they could hardly be completely ignorant. Even the Hokage himself might not be able to deal with an enemy like that, much less youngsters like them who had yet to reach their full potential.
Simply staying out of the way already counted as helping.
Afterward, Minato Namikaze activated Flying Thunder God and took everyone straight back to the Main Base at the Front Lines.
The members of Team Minato returned to their respective tents to rest. Too much had happened over the past few days, and they all needed time to recover.
Yan Uchiha went to Team Shisui's tent instead.
Minato Namikaze did not follow him. He turned to find Shikaku Nara, intending to report on the mission.
Before the team dispersed, he had specifically called them back and given them a solemn warning.
Neither Obito's awakening of the Mangekyo nor the news that Madara Uchiha was still alive could be revealed to anyone. Not even the Hokage.
The stakes were too high.
At this point, Minato Namikaze could no longer place complete trust in Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara all nodded without arguing. They did not entirely agree with everything Jin Uchiha had said two days earlier, but doubts had already taken root in their hearts. Now that even their Teacher was warning them
