[ "Everyone alive?" asks Shinjiro. Minato carefully lowers himself to the floor and offers him a thumbs-up, choosing not to speak to conserve his strength. It seems like the coast is clear for now. Even if he hasn't seen Rolo land his killing blow, Minato presumes Gogol wouldn't have lasted long with the grievous axe injury anyways.
Koromaru, satisfied that Gogol is definitely dead, circles back to Minato's side. He leans the teen against him, and Minato sinks one hand's fingers into the dog's fur as thanks.
The other one reaches for his Evoker again, summoning Horus one last time. The giant bird let's out a piercing cry as it spreads its wings, enveloping everyone in a soothing light. The spell mends their bodies, enough to ensure none of them will bleed to death.
It's what Minato chooses to do with the remaining shreds of consciousness. It's the least he can do, he thinks, before his eyes drift shut and he slumps against Koromaru. Distantly, he hears Akechi screaming again, but can't find the energy to be worried about it.
If they all died here by Akechi's hand, they'd all come back anyways, right? ]
