Time was running out. Minato had made the foolish mistake of attempting to cross through a section of the city to save time. It did not. The traffic was immense and by the time he got out, it was almost 20:00. As Minato exited the city he flared up the engines of his Chimaera class fighter and raced off.
Minato was not sure why she asked him then and there, but maybe it was best not to think about it too much. After all, he had more, well, serious issues to worry about. Minato approached the house 10~ minutes after 20:00, reduced the engine speed, and enabled the landing procedures.
