Looking solemn, Hyuga Hiashi followed the messenger Ninja, who had not even explained himself clearly, to the Allied Shinobi Forces' coastal position.
When he saw the two blond men standing before the position, surrounded by Ninja, Hiashi's scalp instantly prickled, and every hair on his body nearly stood on end.
Wait, why were the Fourth Hokage and his son here?!
Hadn't Naruto Uzumaki gone to train at a secret location provided by Kumogakure?
Why had he suddenly appeared in the First Division's defense sector?
And why had the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, come here instead of being at Allied headquarters or the front line?
No, this wasn't the time to think about that.
Hiashi swept his gaze across the coastline. A large number of Ninja had already gathered nearby. There were too many eyes around. If an enemy spy or informant was here, they would be in serious trouble.
"Lord Fourth!"
Waving for the wary Ninja surrounding the Fourth Hokage and his son to disperse, Hiashi hurried forward.
"Long time no see, Clan Head Hiashi!"
Minato Namikaze gave a smile like the sun, his expression filled with warmth.
Sure enough, the Fourth Hokage was still just as he had been.
Hiashi sighed inwardly, then first stepped forward to verify Minato's identity with a code phrase.
As commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces' First Division, Hiashi had already learned of the Fourth Hokage's "resurrection" from headquarters.
Naraku had informed others of Minato's resurrection mainly because Minato would sooner or later appear on the front lines. To prevent unnecessary trouble, he had shared the news with the Allied Shinobi Forces' senior officers.
However, Naraku had not disclosed that Minato was heading to Turtle Island to visit his son, Naruto Uzumaki.
Only the Five Kage, Tsunade, and Jiraiya knew Minato's exact whereabouts.
So
