"Grandpa Ziyan! How do we undo this seal?" Kushina asked Hatake Ziyan.
"It's easy for me! But for you? That would be a lot more trouble!" Hatake Ziyan said.
Kushina frowned, feeling that Hatake Ziyan was looking down on her. Given time to study it, she was sure she could find an easy way to undo it!
Hatake Ziyan placed his hand on the corpse's chest.
"Release!"
Hatake Ziyan gave a low shout, then pulled Kushina out of the way!
"Boom!"
The half of the Tower of Death trapped inside the Reverse Four Symbols Seal appeared above where the corpse had just been.
The ten members of the Konoha 12 who had been sealed inside were released as well!
"Stop standing there gawking! Hurry into the village and help!" Hatake Ziyan snapped, seeing the children standing rooted to the spot.
"Yes, Lord Ziyan!" Shikamaru was the first to recover and respond to Hatake Ziyan.
The others soon realized they had been rescued as well. After bowing to Hatake Ziyan, they left with Shikamaru!
Watching the ten leave, Hatake Ziyan said to Kushina, "All right! My job is done, so I'm heading back. Go look after your dear Minato!"
With that, Hatake Ziyan vanished and returned to his little courtyard!
Seeing Hatake Ziyan's complete lack of fighting spirit, Kushina could only sigh helplessly. Still, with the children helping out now, she could stay here and protect Minato without worrying!
But isn't leaving half a tower here a bit inappropriate? Kushina thought helplessly as she looked at the Tower of Death, which occupied the entire courtyard!
There was no good way to deal with it for the moment, though, so she went back inside!
After leading the others away, Shikamaru immediately issued instructions. "Ino, contact the Konoha Intelligence Department right away.
