Chapter 140: Return

Konoha.

At the hospital, nove(l)bi(n.)com

"Bring the injured, hurry up."

Numerous bodies were lying everywhere in the hall, and Kurenai stood at the center, guiding the medical unit.

Whoosh...

Minato, along with Naruto and the passed out Kushina, at this time, appeared in the hospital.

"I leave her in your care, Kurenai San."

"Don't worry, Lord Hokage, I'll look after her"

Kurenai took the weak Kushina from Minato, and after assuring him, she quickly left with her for treatment.

"Naruto, go and gather all Konoha Genin; you have an A-level task to find the injured and transport them to the hospital."

Minato gave Naruto a task, and he quickly left to find Sasuke and the rest as Minato once again disappeared.

_________________

Hokage Office.

Despite the fierce fight, the Hokage Building was somehow safe and sound.

All the Kage, Jiraya, Kakashi, and Tsunade were present in the Hokage Office.

Medical Ninja was tending to the wounds of the Kage since they were injured in the fight earlier.

Whoosh...

At this moment, with a Yellow Trail, Minato appeared in the office.

"Have you dealt with the enemy, Minato?"

Tsunade quickly inquired as the rest in the room also looked over.

"Worry not; the enemy has been defeated"

Minato gave the good news as Tsunade, Jiraya and Kakashi finally sighed with relief.

"Lord Raikage, Lord Mizukage, according to Kozuki Kun, Akatsuki has also attacked your village to catch the tail beast."

Minato quickly walked in front and welcomed Kozuki.

Jiraya, who looked at the familiar person on the shoulder of Kozuki, was stunned for a moment.

"Is that Nagato and... Konan?"

Jiraya also recognized Konan from her unique purple hair as he came in front of Kozuki and looked at both of them carefully.

"Yes, she's that girl."

Tsunade also recognized Konan as she remembered that she was one of the three orphans she met at Amegakure.

"Who stole his eyes."

Looking at the empty sockets of Nagato, Jiraya knew immediately that someone must have stolen the Rinnegan of Nagato.

"Nagato will tell you everything when he wakes up, but now he needs medical attention."

Kozuki handed Nagato and Konan to Jiraya, who left with Tsunade since she was the only one who could treat the badly hurt Nagato.

"You haven't changed a bit, Kakashi."

After Jiraya and Tsunade left, Kozuki's eyes fell on Kakashi and arrived beside him.

"But you sure have changed a lot."

Kakashi answered back as his eyes had a complex look in them.

"Kakashi...I"

"You don't need to explain anything... since you did that, then you must have a reason... but if you are ever in a similar situation again, don't try to shoulder everything yourself."

Kakashi stopped Kozuki, who wanted to explain, and looked at Kozuki, hoping that Kozuki would not try to shoulder everything himself and could share his pain with his friends.

"Welcome Back, Kozuki"

Kozuki saw Kakashi bringing his fist forward as he looked at him, waiting for his response.

"Haha..."

Kozuki laughed a bit emotional, as his right fist bumped with the fist of Kakashi.

"He's finally back..."

Minato, who saw Kozuki laughing, smiled as he knew that Kozuki was finally back.
