After the pursuit order was issued, Kirigakure did not undergo any major changes.
Such orders would not be loudly proclaimed for everyone in the streets to hear.
They would only be passed down layer by layer.
At the Pursuit Unit compound behind the Mizukage Building, several lamps lit up one after another. Masked ninja emerged from different rooms, accepted scrolls, read them, said nothing, and vanished back into the mist.
Before long, several roads near Mei Terumi's residence were sealed off.
There were also far more hidden sentries at the intersections leading to apothecaries, clinics, docks, and the outer harbor.
