The moment the flare lit up the sky over Konoha, the entire village sprang into rapid motion. Ninjas of Rank A and above quickly assembled, heading toward the signal's location, while those of Rank B and below began clearing out the surrounding area, guiding civilians to safety.
"Weren't you people saying Konoha is the safest place of all?! Why is this kind of accident still happening? My merchandise is right here!" A wealthy merchant who had come from the capital of the Land of Fire pointed angrily at the nose of a ninja who had come to evacuate him, berating him. "Lowlifes, absolute lowlifes, always exaggerating everything. I'm going to leave a bad review for you!"
The young ninja wiped a spray of spittle from his face and sneered, "Leave a bad review for me? Get this straight: this is a mandatory evacuation order, not some customer-service-oriented commission you hired out. You can leave if you want, or stay and be damned—I just hope you can still strike that pose when you're dying here."
