"Over here?!"
"No! Not over there! IT HAS TO BE OVER THERE!"
"Jeez! Be more specific!"
"More like, use your damn brain!"
RUSTLE! RUSTLE!
The entirety of staff within Kumogakure's Intelligence Division was in a frenzy. Just minutes after receiving news of an impending attack, Dodai imdiately issued commands to his subordinates
His team bolted around as they rearranged the facility to serve as a proper nerve center in preparation for the village's counterattack
"Where's Dodai-sama?! I have a report!"
"Back there! In the other room!"
"Thanks!"
Dodai was assuring Tetsuo and his bodyguard Shō of the situation, while also encouraging him to finish his work. Knowing their "project" would beco a huge asset if it worked
"It will work, I just need you to-!"
"I'm sorry Dodai-dono, but you can't guarantee
that. Even if the system, along with its extensions are operative, how exactly will you coordinate the initial process?"
"Tango, he'll direct the others" (Dodai)
"You want our best pilot to set things up?! Without a pipeline back to the central hub...are you trying to fry his brain?! He's still our best candidate for running this thing!" (Tetsuo)
"I know it's a lot to handle, especially without the Network's help, but there's no other option. We can't just calmly set up the extensions in the middle of a warzone" (Dodai)
"So you expect the enemy will breach the village?" (Shō)
"...All scenarios are being considered, and the other staff will be preoccupied doing-" (Dodai)
CLINK!
"Dodai-sama!"
"What?! I'm in the middle of sothing!" (Dodai)
"Apologies sir! But Musai has sent out the call"
"He's faster than I expected" (Dodai)
"It's only a matter of ti before this place is packed with shinobi, all of whom will be awaiting instruction. You're needed in issuing orders"
"Fine! Have every ninja that arrives remain in our main testing area. Tomoe-sama is already working with the others there, it's our largest room anyway. I'll brief everyone in a mont" (Dodai)
"Sir!"
"And call Tango, I've got a job for him!" (Dodai)
CLINK!
"Now where was I...ahem! Tango has been working for
ever since he beca a Genin. I know his capabilities more than anyone else" (Dodai)
"What you're asking him to do...just pulling it off would be extrely stupendous" (Tetsuo)
"Yes, yes it is. But I believe he can handle it" (Dodai)
"...I-I'm sorry. I cannot, in good conscience condone this" (Tetsuo)
"I figured as much, that's why I like you Tetsuo-dono. Unlike your fellow businessn, you have integrity. Which only makes this more difficult for
to say" (Dodai)
"What?" (Tetsuo)
"The village is most likely surrounded at the mont, and anyone who attempts to flee will probably be killed. Do you understand what I'm saying?" (Dodai)
"Wha-?!" (Tetsuo)
TAP!
"!" (Tetsuo & Dodai)
Shō placed one hand on the sword at his hip, glaring at Dodai as he spoke in a slow and chilling tone
"Are you threatening my boss?" (Shō)
"H-Hey! What are you doing Shō?!" (Tetsuo)
"...I'm not threatening, rely stating a fact. I just received so new intel, things are far worse than they seem. Tekkan finally ca through after contacting Kusagakure's1Hidden Grass VillageDaimyō via their broadcasting system" (Dodai)
{Right. I forgot all the Daimyō's have a, albeit highly limited, system of communication for their use only} (Tetsuo)
"..." (Shō)
"How bad?" (Tetsuo)
"It's-" (Dodai)
CLINK!
"SIR!"
"Oh, for crying out loud! What is it now?!" (Dodai)
"There's been an explosion-no, MULTIPLE explosions sighted in various locations around the village!"
"?!" (Shō & Tetsuo)
"How?! They couldn't have breached our defenses, let alone, the village walls yet! Tomoe-sama would've inford ! Did the enemy plant bombs of so kind?!" (Dodai)
"In a matter of speaking, yes. But the bombs are-!"
Dodai instantly recalled the reports from Funsui and Ronri of their ti in Hōzuki-jō2Demon Lantern Castle
It took only a mont for him to realize what was happening
"Damn Chinoike! To our very own citizens...HOW DARE YOU!" (Dodai)
{Dodai...} (Tetsuo)
"Exploding Humans..."

Mariko's Orphanage
"Hey, did you guys hear that?"
"Hear what Rei-nii? I didn't hear anything"
"Don't talk with your mouth full Karui. To answer that question Rei-chan, this place is located quite far from the central part of the village"
"..." (Rei)
You guys may not have been able to, but I certainly did. My enhanced hearing has been picking up so odd sounds over a minute ago. They almost sound like-
[Hey, hate to interrupt your nice al, but we have a problem. A "Ripple" has been detected]
"?!" (Rei)
Now?! What could possibly-?!
[You can hear them right? Those sounds, they're explosions. Our "sight" is limited when we're not in "Support Mode
