"Finally made it back to the mainland as it sure did take us long enough," Minato said as they were finally back in the Land of Fire
The four of them had gone through many things to get away from the Land of Whirlpool. Though they would not know one of the reasons that they managed to get away was because everyone else on the island was distracted. That is not to say that they would not have been able to escape if their focus was solely on them, however. They would have gotten away regardless it just that it would be much harder on both Jiraiya and Logan although
Sure the both of them were powerful and probably two of the most powerful on the island but strength was not everything. They could not just power their way through everything after all. Especially on an island known for its fūinjutsu(sealing justus) and having people that are incredibly hard to kill off. They might not have superhuman healing factor like Logan but their vitality and natural healing ability was most certainly above and beyond that of normal people.
Yet it was these two things that led to the Land of Whirlpool's destruction though as from the opposite side of where Jiraiya, Logan, Minato, and Kushina were located. A massive invasion force had sprung a sneak attack on the island, as the two things that made them stand out so much. These were the very thing that getting them to wipe out in the end. Fearing them just as much as Kushina's village feared the ability that had awakened within her.
Though the destruction of the entire island might have been the goal. The killing of everyone there however was not as some wanted Land of Whirlpool residents with those of the Uzumaki clan being a top priority for capture. Sure they were certain a threat when they were bundled together in a land of their own with the ability to act on their own. However, many realized that the benefits of the Uzumaki and their fuinjustu after all. This would be the reason why there were so many Uzumaki would be scattered across the world after their homeland was destroyed. They did not so much escape as they were captured and to be sent off to use the property of their various invaders.
Sure this plan backfires as a few ships were taken over and the residents of Land of Whirlpool and Uzumaki clan scattered on their own. Hiding within various places yet never once trying to meet back up again thus reforming their home in a new place. They were too wanted and not everyone had enough backing to be considered untouchable after all. The Uzumaki that would keep their last name were the lucky ones that did or no one in the area knew the history behind the name thus wrote it off as nothing that important.
While all this happening, Logan and Kushina finally arrived at the Konoha's gates after some time
"Try not to embrass yourself being in a big village for the first time," Minato told her
"Come on seriously I am from a ninja village too you know. Like I would be that impressed by seeing...your...village..." Kushina said trailing off as she looked at it for the first time.
Sure enough, she was in awe of just how big the place was as she was not necessarily from a small village herself. However, the number of high rise buildings was far more than the several that she had seen from her own back home.
"Kid come on let go" Logan called out to her
"Right," Kushina said following after them
Glaring at smirking Minato
"Not...A...Word" she said to him
He did not say a thing in response just raising his hand innocently as they all walked.
"Grandma I think I should head out as well myself with news of what happened. They might need my help" a voice said
"They are going to fine as you know how Jiriaya is, Minato is his best student, and Kushina is an Uzumaki like me, while Logan. I do not know much about him personally but he seems to have greater ability in vitality than any of us" the Uzumaki grandmother replied.
"You did not take out a bet on him completely this mission easily did you," she asked
Her granddaughter then froze up for a second before looking away
"Why would I ever do something like that" she laughed.
"Wait you did what! Were you trying to jink us" Jiraiya asked entering the room
"Of course not as it was a spur of the moment thing when I got angry okay" she yelled back at him not realize he was there before socking him in the head.
"I see that you made it back safely with them it seems," Mito Uzumaki said looking at Kushina and Logan "Though what happened to her" noticing how she was still somewhat covered in bandages
"My village turned on me. They even tried to kill me for some reason. Could have actually died if not for what Logan told me to do in that case" Kushina said
Logan then noticed how Mito looked at him with a shocked expression as if she knew why her village would attack her in such a manner. They would have to talk again later in a more private setting.
Tsunade, Mito's granddaughter, she was standing there in shock as she had won a bet she had made even if was out of anger.
"Guess you were my lucky charm this time around," Jiraiya said laughing pat her on the back though then got a little worried.
"Tsunade...hey Tsunade...are you alright," he asked
"I am fine," she said looking out the window all of sudden.
"Maybe you should take her to lay down" Mito suggested.
After the two of them left the room it was just Minato, Kushina, and Logan. Minato staying just in case there was something he would need to tell his master later.
"As for why we were worried we got word that the Land of Whirpool had just been destoryed due to a massive invasion" Mito informed them
As they all realized just how lucky they were to be able to get away right before that could affect them.
