[Minato's plan of attack was simple: he was going to make a huge-ass spectacle of himself and hopefully draw the most attention, wanting to create openings for the others to go through and reach the castle quietly, reach Sasuke.
So when he arrived it was with an enormous cloud of smoke and the earth shaking stomps of Gamabunta, one of, if not the, largest toad summons.
When the smoke cleared he could be seen standing atop the large toad's head, his entire body - clothes, hair, skin - glowing brightly, almost like he was on fire, chakra flickering and curling in the air around him.
It was completely and utterly unnecessary, overkill even, but Minato wasn't looking to be just a yellow flash confusing and taking out his enemies silently. He trusted the kids to do what they had to do, and now he could have a little fun himself- creating a commotion and being an annoyance, forked kunai in hand.
Engage?]
[[ooc: any other shinobi around feel free to assume Minato handed off one of his marked kunai to you, or at the very least patted your shoulder and left a seal behind. Don't have to use it (or at least, to summon him, stab something with it by all means) but he'd probably toss them out before becoming a shiny target.
He won't be going into the castle unless someone really wants a dramatic rescue haha just blitzing around the area taking out whoever/whatever he can! The only Pokemon with him is Hachi.]]
