- Good," my uncle sighed with relief, and looking around at the wounded and the separately dead, who could not be resuscitated, he asked, "what happened here?
- The Kiri-nin sneaked into the village and apparently wanted to get even with Hatake for the two killed Mist swordsmen and the Great Swords, but judging by the activated clan defenses," I waved my hand at the barrier visible from behind the rooftops, which was still working, "they couldn't get in quietly and massacre them.
The timing was such that everyone should be at home, including Sakumo, and the Anbu patrols, which were increasing in strength at night, would not have been an obstacle because of their small numbers.
And the clan leader wouldn't be able to fight at full strength, having to not only hold off a serious group of jonins and protect his clanmates, but also not to harm the latter himself. If not for my defense, such a risky operation might have paid off.
Especially since almost all of the jonins were not eager to flee during the battle and were probably suicide bombers, chosen to ensure the departure of one or two people with Kiri's relics. At the very least, it would have been quite in the spirit of Blood Mist.
- Problematic bloodthirsty idiots," Shenesu shook his head, having calculated the situation as well as I had and come to the same conclusions, "once they failed and were discovered, they just started wrecking everything around them so they could do as much damage to Konoha as possible before they died, instead of trying to escape.
- Well, to be fair, the Kiri-nin's chances of escape were minimal anyway," I shrugged and created another dozen clones, sending them to the new wounded that the shinobi who were late to the fight had brought to the makeshift infirmary.
- But they must have organized some way of escape in case the swords were recovered," his uncle argued reasonably.
- A bought ordinary person to take them out of Konoha the usual way, because there's no inspection of their luggage at the exit, unlike at the entrance," he immediately suggested and turned to look at the rapidly approaching chakra signature of Hatake's head.
- Ryo-kun, Shenesu-san," Sakumo, who had jumped down from the roof of a house nearby, nodded to us, only after a quick survey of the surroundings, putting his famous sword back into its scabbard, "thank you for such a quick response and help.
- Heh, Ryo-kun is here, Nara-san, my respects," Jiraiya was a little behind him, looking much more shabby than his colleague, 'it looks like all the heavyweights of Konoha will be here soon, but I don't see Orochi,' he looked around, "he's probably in his lab again.
- It's just that it's farther from the outskirts of the village than it is from the public baths," I jokingly chuckled, feeling the shinobi's chakra moving quickly toward the battle site.
- Ahem, well, I see that you have everything organized here, I'll go to help you in removing the debris, - quickly rounded off the toad sannin and slipped away.
Was he really at the baths?!
We shook our heads at Jiraiya and decided to ignore him, as every strong shinobi had his own issues.
