"If possible, leave right now. You'll definitely reach the Main Battlefield before dawn!" Shikaku Nara said with absolute confidence.

"All right."
Just before turning to leave, Dodai asked, "Should I take some people along to escort supplies to the Main Battlefield? There's still plenty of time, after all."
