Meanwhile, at the Senju Clan Compound.
Tobirama Senju had finished leading his clansmen through the evacuation and into shelter. He was about to head out to provide support when he suddenly noticed that Uchiha Sora, his older brother, and the tailed beasts had vanished from his sensory range.

Hyuga Ten laughed at that. "Tobirama Senju, stop fooling yourself. Haven't
