The same thing happened in the Hidden Mist Village. Having lost so many people instantly, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, immediately realized the severity of the situation.
He couldn't help but send the Anbu to the Hidden Eddy Village to investigate what exactly had happened.
After all, he had only recently become the Fourth Mizukage. The sudden disappearance of so many people was a blow to him as well.
At this time, Yagura Karatachi was not yet controlled by Madara Uchiha. Naturally, his actions were out of consideration for the village.
...
Early the next morning, after Minato and the others had breakfast, he asked Uzumaki Ashita to take him on a tour of the entire Hidden Eddy Village.
The entire Hidden Eddy Village wasn't large; it was far, far smaller than Konoha, not even one-tenth of its size. It was perhaps one-twentieth the size.
After touring the entire Hidden Eddy Village, Minato had a rough plan in his mind.
He began burying special three-pronged kunai and sealing formulas around the perimeter of the Hidden Eddy Village.
After burying the sealing formulas in eight different locations, Minato returned to Uzumaki Ashita's residence.
He buried the nine three-pronged kunai that would serve as the formation's core right there.
After doing all this, Minato crouched down.
"Ninja Art: Sealing Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Nine Heavens Formation."
With a loud shout, Minato slammed his hands onto the ground, frantically pouring chakra into the formation's core.
Uzumaki Ashita and the others standing nearby felt the corners of their mouths twitch. If this weren't such a serious moment, they wouldn't have been able to stop themselves from laughing out loud and roasting him.
What kind of broken name is that? This future son-in-law's talent for naming is truly... invincible!
Even Kushina and Mikoto realized for the first time that Minato's naming talent was this powerful.
As Minato poured in his chakra, his Shadow Clones stationed at the eight directions of the Hidden Eddy Village also infused chakra simultaneously.
Suddenly, nine beams of light shot into the sky. The eight outer beams rose hundreds of meters before converging toward the beam at the center.
Finally, the nine beams of light intertwined, enveloping the entire Hidden Eddy Village.
"Haa... Haa...!!!"
At this moment, Minato looked completely drained, his eyes sunken deep into their sockets (similar to how Yamato looked after using Wood Release to build houses following Pain's attack on Konoha).
"Damn, this really isn't a job for humans. I didn't expect this defensive barrier to require so much chakra. If I didn't have such a massive reserve, I really wouldn't be able to pull this off."
"It really lives up to being an S-Rank Sealing Barrier rewarded for 100% development progress."
Minato complained frantically in his mind. Unless it was a special situation, he would never set this thing up again next time; it was torture.
"Minato, are you okay?"
Seeing Minato in this state, everyone came over with concern.
Truthfully, his current appearance was far from flattering; it was quite scary.
"Haa... I'm fine, just over-consumed. I didn't expect opening this barrier to require such a massive amount of chakra."
Minato waved his hand weakly. He looked at Mikoto beside him and, disregarding the gazes of others, slumped directly into her arms. He was truly too tired.
"Thank you, Minato. Thank you for doing everything for us."
Kushina also crouched down, looking at Minato with teary eyes.
"Silly girl, your business is my business. To keep you from worrying, this is what I should do."
Minato rubbed Kushina's head and spoke gently.
"Mhm."
Kushina didn't say anything more sentimental but held his hand tightly.
"Uncle, this defensive barrier will absorb natural energy from the outside to maintain itself indefinitely. Even with three times the number of people from yesterday, they wouldn't be able to break this barrier. You can live here in peace from now on without worrying about people coveting your sealing jutsu or causing trouble for the Hidden Eddy Village."
"I wonder if you are satisfied with this betrothal gift!"
Minato explained the function of the Sealing Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Nine Heavens Formation to Uzumaki Ashita.
"Haha, I accept it. This is the best betrothal gift I have ever seen. How could I be dissatisfied? I thank you on behalf of the entire village, Minato."
Although he really wanted to roast Minato's naming sense, Uzumaki Ashita was extremely satisfied with this defensive barrier. It was dozens of times stronger than the Hidden Eddy Village's original barrier.
There was nothing to be dissatisfied about; he was satisfied to the extreme.
afterward, Minato was waited on like a lord by Mikoto and Kushina in turns. Even his future mother-in-law, Uzumaki Nanako, brought various supplements for Minato to eat.
Minato enjoyed a very comfortable day.
The next day, needless to say, Minato had fully recovered. With the System's super benefits, even severe injuries could be restored by the next day.
There was no helping it; a life with cheats was just that awesome. If you have the ability, go get a cheat yourself.
Knowing that cheating is fun for a moment, but cheating all the time is fun all the time.
Since Kushina had just returned to the Hidden Eddy Village after being away for so long, she dragged Minato and Mikoto out shopping early in the morning.
Looking at the village that had undergone huge changes over the past six years, Kushina looked here and there, having a great time.
"Wow, it's Minato-sama and Kushina-sama. We're so lucky today."
"Ah, thanks to Minato-sama and Kushina-sama. Without them, we would be living a life on the run."
"Not just that. I heard Minato-sama set up a very powerful barrier for our Hidden Eddy Village. People like those from the day before yesterday couldn't break the current barrier at all."
"Mhm, mhm, I heard that too. We really have to thank Minato-sama. It's a pity Minato-sama is from Konoha and not our village."
"Hehe, Minato-sama is Kushina-sama's boyfriend. That makes him the Hidden Eddy Village's son-in-law, so he's one of us."
Along the way, whenever people encountered Minato, Kushina, and Mikoto, they would stop and start discussing animatedly.
Minato enjoyed the treatment of a hero.
Kushina also waved to the villagers from time to time. She grew up here, so she knew quite a few people.
After all, as the Clan Leader's daughter, she could be considered a princess.
During the trip, Kushina also took Minato to try her favorite childhood snacks, including ramen.
She was doing her best as a host.
