Konoha's main street.
"I heard the Uchiha family was wiped out?"
"Yeah, that's great. I'd had enough of them long ago."
"But such a huge family got wiped out. Doesn't that make us even less safe?"
"Maybe they'd done too many terrible things.
This is karma."
"No, I need to go to the Land of Fire Capital and lie low. What if Konoha can't protect us?
Wouldn't we be in terrible danger?"
"That makes sense. I never thought even Konoha wouldn't be safe. Sigh!"
"What are you talking about? They only trusted their own people too much, which caused this tragedy.
The Hokage has already dispatched an elite team to pursue him."
"That's a man capable of slaughtering an entire clan. Who could kill him?"
"It's Tobitake Tonbo, the head of the Analysis Division. He made enormous contributions during the Third Shinobi World War.
During these years of peace, he has also accomplished several things of vital importance.
Now that he's making a move, even Itachi Uchiha can only flee in defeat."
"Really? Why haven't I heard of him before?
Tell us, what has he done?"
"I heard he once read extremely important intelligence for Konoha and is an elite of the Intelligence Division.
He also developed a barrier that can protect the entirety of Konoha.
I heard the Hokage himself said that, in response to disasters like the Nine-Tailed Fox attack, Lord Tobitake Tonbo put tremendous effort into studying Barrier Techniques.
He did it solely to guard against such situations, and he had already completed it several years ago.
After Lord Tobitake Tonbo's improvements over the years,
even another Nine-Tails attack wouldn't cause any damage."
"He's that amazing?"
"Of course. I heard even Kakashi the Copy Ninja often lost to him, and even the Third Lord praised him endlessly!"
