Not long after the meal, the conversation ended naturally, without reaching any conclusion.
Minato, Kushina, and Jiraiya went home, carrying Naruto.
Tsunade left with Shizune.
Obito was also sent where he belonged.
The others stayed put.
Only Seiichi returned to the rooftop of the Laboratory and sat down.
Nine-Tails and Hikari were there with Seiichi.
The two of them-well, one person and one fox-were happily eating snacks and watching television.
Seiichi's thoughts drifted somewhat.
Hikari noticed that Seiichi was lying in the rocking chair with his eyes closed, facing the window, his breathing very steady.
After looking over a few times and confirming that Seiichi was asleep, Hikari turned down the television.
This displeased Nine-Tails.

So, despite having only just met, the two unexpectedly discovered that they got along surprisingly well.
Nine-Tails followed Hikari around and liked almost everything she liked.
The fox felt that life now could be summed up in two words: pure comfort!!!
So, it was all for the sake of a good life. Bowing one's head a little was nothing to be ashamed of!
Seeing that Hikari had almost finished her cucumber-flavored chips, Nine-Tails hurriedly picked out all the extra-hot barbecue chips the fox loved most and swept them over.
The fox was terrified that Hikari would fight for them.
Hikari rolled her eyes at Nine-Tails.
The two leisurely ate snacks and watched the Shinobi World's newest blockbuster
