Chapter 355: Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou [355]
Hokage Building, Rooftop.
Surrounded by elite Anbu on high alert, Tsunade calmly watched the black smoke rising from several battlefields across Konoha.
Standing tall on the rooftop, Tsunade surveyed the situation in Konoha with a composed expression, but her fists were clenched tightly.
"They dared to attack Konoha! How presumptuous!"
This was practically a slap in the face for her, the Fifth Hokage, making the always proud Tsunade even more furious.
"Lady Tsunade, all the villagers have been evacuated, Katsuyu has already gone to the battlefield, and all injured ninjas have received timely medical attention. There's even a Katsuyu stationed in the shelters on standby..."
Shizune reported gravely on the situation in the village. Thanks to the timely response, the enemy hadn't caused much destruction inside the village.
It was just some buildings lost, but more importantly, it was a blow to their pride.
The Akatsuki had openly attacked the center of Konoha. Since the founding of the Five Great Ninja Villages, no one had ever dared such a thing—only Akatsuki would.
"All ninjas below Jonin rank are to withdraw from this battle. Notify the Barrier Team to activate the barrier and contain the fight within a certain area."
"Yes!"
