After saying goodbye to Obito, Xuandou took Minato back to Azure Tide Port.
The two parted ways on the street.
Minato headed to the Land of Rain to carry out an A-rank mission.

She looked at Xuandou with her deep purple eyes that saw through everything.
She was none other than Shion, the miko of the Land of
