Minato Namikaze soon recovered from the blow Obito Uchiha had dealt him, and at last remembered his son-Naruto Uzumaki!
So he immediately asked how Naruto was doing.
"Naruto..." Jiraiya perked up at the mention of him. "He isn't in the village right now. Naraku arranged for him to go to Turtle Island in Kumogakure."

So he had thought he wouldn't be
