Shikamaru walked over to the map.
"The Kara Organization's target is the Nine-Tails," he said.
Kiyomi clenched her fists.
"What should we do?"
"Evacuate the villagers," Shikamaru said. "Then prepare to fight."
"I want to fight too," Kiyomi said.
"No," Sasuke said.
"Why?" Kiyomi asked.
"It's too dangerous," Sasuke said.
"But I want to help," Kiyomi said.
Sasuke looked at her.
"Kiyomi," he said.
"Hmm?"
"You're not strong enough yet," Sasuke said. "The Kara Organization's Inner members are all very powerful."
Kiyomi gritted her teeth.

The villagers were already being evacuated outside.
"Hurry," a ninja said. "Head to the shelters."

When she arrived, she heard crying inside the house.
Kiyomi rushed in.
A little child sat on the floor, crying.
"Don't be afraid," Kiyomi said. "I'll take you to your mother."
She picked up the child.
She ran toward the shelter.
On the way, she ran into Boruto.
"Kiyomi," Boruto said. "There's something happening outside the village."
Kiyomi's heart began to race.
"They're here?"
"Probably," Boruto said.
Kiyomi handed the child to a ninja.
"Take them to the shelter."
"Yes," the ninja said.
Kiyomi and Boruto ran toward the outskirts of the village.
When they arrived, Kawaki
