They were also deeply worried that if they accidentally revealed themselves, Obito Uchiha would use the villagers of Konoha as hostages without a second thought.
After all, Obito Uchiha was clearly no longer the person they had once known.
Still, Kakashi's final Lightning Blade had caused quite a commotion, and more than a few people had begun to take notice.
