The first floor of the somewhat dim tower was illuminated in blue-white by the thunderous lightning.
Thwack, thwack...
The successive sounds of blades cleaving through flesh rang out. Sasuke cut down warrior after warrior as large groups of armored warriors poured in from all directions, surrounding him.
"Uchiha Sasuke is here! Quickly! Take him alive!"
A minor warrior officer shouted. Although more than a dozen warriors had already fallen beneath Sasuke's blade, they had to capture Sasuke alive. This was the order their leader, Mifune, had given.
Mifune's decision was a wise one. Sasuke had abducted the Raikage's younger brother, Killer B, and the Raikage was currently on the top floor of the tower.

If they captured Sasuke alive, they might be able to force information about Killer B out of him.
Whether in terms of reason or emotion, the warriors of the Iron Country could not kill Sasuke now. Capturing him alive was the best choice. This was a political matter.
However, dozens of warriors were completely incapable of capturing Sasuke, and the order to take him alive caused them heavy casualties.
