Outside.
"All dead? Wiped out in an instant?"
"And he only had to point!"
"Protect the Hokage!"
The dozens of Anbu guarding the outside of the Hokage's Office had naturally noticed what was happening inside.
After seeing that bizarre scene, several of them even dropped their weapons in fright.
They were Anbu, true, but they were human too.
People of flesh and blood, with feelings.
Faced with such a terrifying being, whose strength completely surpassed their own, they couldn't muster even the slightest desire to resist.

The other sixty were too frightened by the scene to budge.

"Phew..."
He took a deep breath and raised a hand to stop them.
"Don't move. This is beyond your ability to get involved
