Deeply impressed by this dashing display, Kakashi smiled beneath his mask, while Rin gazed at Minato with admiration shining in her eyes.
Obito's eyes practically sparkled. As expected, Minato-sensei was the coolest!
Even Sarutobi, that rotten monkey who normally couldn't stand any handsome man, was thoroughly won over by Minato.
