"Uchiha Kaito?" Kakashi stood up. "He might be at Sensei's house."

"Sensei..."

Suddenly, he realized something and asked with difficulty, "Jiraiya-sama, what about Sensei... Minato-sensei?"

Jiraiya shook his head, as if completely drained of energy, and slumped to the ground.

"When Guy and I arrived, all we saw was Naruto in a rampage."

"How is that possible!" Kakashi couldn't believe it. "That was Minato-sensei!"

For Minato, who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, to disappear was even more unbelievable than Tsunade-sama's sacrifice.

"Go find Kaito," Jiraiya said weakly once more.

The disappearance of Tsunade and Minato had completely shattered his spirit.

Although Minato had already passed away long ago...

But the reappearance of Sensei was no different from when he was alive, and I had forgotten the fact that Minato-sensei was already a deceased person.

Kakashi snapped back to reality and said urgently, "I'll go find Kaito. He has a connection with Minato-sensei, so he must know something. I'll bring him directly to the site where Tsunade-sama was sealed!"

He turned and leaped away, heading toward Minato's house at top speed.

---

A small paper figure floated in the wind, drifting through the open door of Minato's house.

Kaito's paper clone had just sat down on the sofa when Kakashi burst in.

"Kaito!" He grabbed Kaito's wrist and pulled him up. "Come with me!"

Without waiting for a response, he dragged him toward the door.

"Wait, what's going on?" Kaito followed his pull, pretending not to know.

"Two things!"

Kakashi didn't stop walking.

"To save time, let's talk while we move."

"Alright, alright," Kaito broke free from his grip. "Just tell me, and I'll keep up with you."

"Fine," Kakashi immediately picked up the pace. "First, about Minato-sensei's disappearance. You should know about it, right? After all, you two have some kind of connection."

Kaito followed behind Kakashi and said, "I can only vaguely sense that he was accidentally sealed by Nagato's ability."

"Sealed!" Kakashi raised his voice, immediately sensitive to the word "seal."

"Don't worry too much about him. I can sense that the contract is still intact, which means his soul hasn't disappeared. Besides, I'll find a way to rescue him," Kaito reassured him.

"You can rescue Minato-sensei from the seal?"

Kakashi suddenly stopped and turned around excitedly.

Kaito had to stop abruptly to avoid crashing into him.

"Kaito, can you really save Minato-sensei from the seal?" Kakashi grabbed Kaito's wrist again.

"Because of Minato's unique state, I should be able to rescue him with some confidence," Kaito broke free from his grip once more and gave a firm answer.

"I'm sorry," Kakashi withdrew his hand. "I mean... the Hokage-sama... Tsunade-sama was also sealed. Jiraiya-sama wants you to try and save her."

"What?" Kaito's face showed genuine surprise. "Wasn't the Hokage stationed at Konoha Hospital? And if she was sealed, what kind of seal was it?"

"Let's go," Kakashi turned and started running again. "Tsunade-sama went to the battlefield earlier and was ambushed by a rogue ninja from Root using the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing."

"The Reverse Four Symbols Sealing?" Kaito's expression became hesitant.

"Didn't you just say you could save Minato-sensei?" Kakashi looked back.

Kaito sighed and explained, "You need to understand that Minato has been dead for a long time. That's the biggest difference between him and the Hokage."

'Besides, Minato is my tool, but Tsunade isn't.'

"I see," Kakashi seemed to understand. "I hope you'll do your best. Whatever conditions you have, Jiraiya-sama will definitely agree."

Kaito didn't respond.

The two soon arrived at the crater left by the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing. As soon as Jiraiya saw Kaito, he grabbed his wrist and dragged him to the bottom of the crater.

'Why do these people keep grabbing me?'

Kaito broke free again, annoyed but understanding their urgency, so he didn't say anything accusatory.

He crouched down and carefully examined Terai's corpse lying at the bottom of the crater.

"So, can you break the seal?" Jiraiya asked eagerly from the side.

"Jiraiya-sama, I've only been looking for three seconds," Kaito felt helpless again.

"Oh... keep looking. I won't disturb you!"

Jiraiya quickly stepped back, then turned and assured him, "As long as you can save Tsunade, name your conditions."

"In the fight against the Otsutsuki, I want Konoha's full support," Kaito stated directly.

"Full support?" Jiraiya thought for a few seconds.

Full support wasn't just lip service. It meant dedicating all efforts to the cause and standing firmly behind Kaito at the forefront of the future united front.

"I can only say I'll do my best," Jiraiya gave the most assurance he could. "After all, you know that not all Konoha ninjas will listen to me and Tsunade."

"Deal! Then I'll do my best to break the seal."

Kaito was satisfied and began placing his hand on Terai's chest, using his spiritual energy to thoroughly scan the puppet's corpse.

"I need all the information on the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing," he stood up. "Also, prepare a room for me at Konoha Hospital and move this body there."

"Alright, alright," Jiraiya agreed repeatedly, waving to a masked ANBU ninja nearby. "Do as Kaito says!"

"Yes!" The ANBU ninja began directing his comrades to move the body.

Kaito turned to leave, and Jiraiya quickly caught up.

"Kaito, tell me, how is Tsunade? Will she be okay after the seal is broken? Do you have any confidence?"

Kaito sighed. "Sorry, Jiraiya, I can only draw conclusions after reviewing all the information on the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing. As for Tsunade-sama's life or death, that can only be determined after breaking the seal."

"I understand. The information will be sent over soon. Let's go to Konoha Hospital!" Jiraiya unconsciously grabbed Kaito's wrist and started running.

"Ah, whatever."

Kaito looked utterly resigned, his body becoming as thin and light as paper, being dragged by Jiraiya like a fluttering flag all the way to Konoha Hospital.

The ANBU's efficiency was high. By the time they arrived at the hospital, the room was ready, the body was in place, and the sealing technique information had been delivered.

Kaito broke free from Jiraiya's grip once more, took the information from the ANBU ninja, and pushed open the door to the room.

Inside, he saw Sakura and Shizune standing in front of the examination table where Terai's body lay, their faces filled with grief as they turned to look at him.

"Kaito-sama!!!"

Upon seeing Kaito, the two immediately rushed over, each grabbing one of his hands tightly, as if clutching a lifeline.

"Kaito-sama... please save Tsunade-sama..."

"Please..."

Both of them were crying, especially Sakura, whose snot was about to drip onto Kaito's sleeve.

"Alright, I'll do my best."

Kaito quickly shrank his hands to break free, then returned them to normal and pushed both girls, along with Jiraiya, out the door.

"All of you, calm down. In any case, do not disturb me."

He spoke sternly, then slammed the door shut with a "bang".
