"Damn it! Why hasn't the support arrived yet?!"
"We've been ambushed! These Uchiha are insane!"
At the Uchiha Clan Compound, the invading Root forces had been driven onto this main road. Under the relentless siege of the Uchiha ninja, they were steadily retreating!

One of the Root members' eyes lit up as he spotted a pitch-black alleyway.
Quite a few Root members rushed toward it in delight, hoping to break out from there.

"Damn it! Find another way to break out!"
The remaining Root members immediately began searching for another escape route!
