Living next to Xin for so long, Minato wasn't too keen on the idea of moving out.
"Suit yourself," Jiraiya shrugged, sprawling out on the couch. He casually asked, "How's the training going?"
Ever since Minato had gotten his hands on the Flying Thunder God technique, he'd been practically obsessed with learning sealing techniques.
"I've made a lot of progress," Minato replied with a confident smile. Even though the training was exhausting, he was genuinely happy.
The faster he mastered the Flying Thunder God technique, the quicker he could catch up to Xin's pace. Otherwise, he'd always be trailing behind, eating dust-if he was even lucky enough to be that close.
Once the gap between two shinobi's abilities grew too wide, even their relationship could change. The distance between them would grow in more ways than one.
That was something Minato didn't want. So, he pushed himself harder and harder to keep up.
As long as you understand that yourself, Jiraiya thought, deciding to leave it at that. He clapped his hands and stood up.
"All right, pack your stuff and go find that brat Nawaki. We're heading to the Land of Rivers soon."
"We're going to the frontlines? What about Xin?"
Xin was still out on a mission and hadn't returned yet.
"He'll probably join us soon enough," Jiraiya said. The village wouldn't just leave someone as powerful as Xin sitting around. At least, that's what Jiraiya assumed.
He figured that once Xin's mission was over, the village would send him to the battlefield in the Land of Rivers.
By the time Xin joined them, they might've already pushed the enemy back into the Land of Wind.
"Got it, I'll go get Nawaki," Minato said, not even bothering to pack his things before dashing off.
Watching him run off, Jiraiya couldn't help but chuckle. "That kid... Oh well, I guess it's my responsibility as his teacher."
When Nawaki heard they were heading to the frontlines, he was a little taken aback. Wasn't Xin still out on a mission?
Minato explained the situation, and only then did Nawaki start packing.
The two of them, along with Jiraiya, left the village, heading for the Land of Rivers.
Meanwhile, Xin was completely unaware of all this, still in the middle of his mission to escort the wounded back to the village.
By the time he returned to Konoha, Minato and Nawaki had already been gone for two days. After handing the injured over to the medical team, Xin made his way to the Hokage's office to officially report the completion of his mission.
