Konoha's alarms blared without pause, and the sounds of fighting echoed everywhere.
There were also countless screams of agony.
The sudden appearance of so many Claw Marks had caught Konoha completely off guard.
But as Konoha began organizing its forces, it gradually regained its footing.
Moegi, Konohamaru, Udon, Sai, and Ibiki were the quickest team leaders to react.
Most of them had been training their students, so everyone was already in Konoha.
They formed small groups, fighting as they retreated.
Konoha's Military Police Force and the other shinobi joined the battle after evacuating the civilians.
The troublesome thing about these Claw Marks was the marks on their bodies. They kept darting back and forth through them.
It made the Claw Marks incredibly slippery and hard to pin down.
But with the arrival of several others, the Claw Marks had kicked an iron plate.
Naruto appeared and pressed his palms together. "Shadow Clone Technique!"
His signature army of Shadow Clones emerged amid a cloud of smoke.
"Take down all these monsters!"
"Dad and Mom are watching us! Give it everything you've got!"
"Yeah!"
The Shadow Clones charged at the Claw Marks like they had been pumped full of adrenaline.
Besides Naruto, Hashirama, who had only just awakened, was no slower.
He clapped his hands together!
"Wood Release: Descent of the World of Trees!"
Trees surged up from the ground, their branches sweeping toward the Claw Marks.
"Roar, roar..."
Once caught by the branches, they were immediately pierced through and strangled to death.
As a scientist, Tobirama was clearly more interested in what these Claw Marks were made of.
He captured several alive, intending to study them later.
Meanwhile, Hatake Sakumo wielded a blade as he cut his way from one end of the street to the other.
Hardly any Claw Mark
