The towering flames, billowing clouds of dust, and the clamor of screams, curses, and groans plunged once-peaceful Konoha into chaos.
The attack had come far too suddenly!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Soon, accompanied by the sharp rush of wind, more and more Konoha Ninja arrived at the scene.
When they saw the devastation on the battlefield, they were all stunned.
"H-How could this happen?"
"We only just started fighting. How could there be so much destruction already?"
"Has the Akatsuki Organization launched a major attack?"
"Where's the enemy?"
Everyone looked bewildered, then helpless!
Tsunade stepped forward and shouted, "Have you forgotten the contingency plans we practiced? Everyone, do your part! Stop standing around!"
At Tsunade's shout, everyone finally had someone to look to for direction and sprang into action.
Some of the ninja joined the rescue efforts, while others began patrolling the perimeter. The remaining elite formed squads on their own and started searching for the enemy.
Clearly,
although the attack had been sudden, they had prepared various plans for an Akatsuki Organization assault. With Tsunade taking charge, the chaos was quickly brought under control.
Just then, Tsunade summoned the giant Katsuyu from Shikkotsu Forest and had her split into smaller slugs to help with the rescue. Then Tsunade returned to Yakumo's side.
As Tsunade examined Yakumo, Shizune asked anxiously, "Lord Tsunade, is Yakumo going to be all right?"
"Her Chakra has been completely drained by the enemy," Tsunade replied.
"What?!"
Shizune was stunned.
She knew full well how immense Yakumo's Chakra reserves were after she'd been infused with First Hokage cells. She could hardly imagine what kind of jutsu could drain all the Chakra from Yakumo's body at once.
Tsunade began forming Hand Seals, preparing to release the Yin Seal on her forehead and transfer Chakra to Yakumo.
