Shirou in Another World.

Volume 2: Black and Red Clouds CH8

"Konan, we need a distraction."

Shirou and Lunea were making slow progress as the crowd around them erupted into chaos.

Then, the Konoha shinobi kicked into gear. Earthen walls grew from the ground, bisecting side streets from the main street, of which ninja started appearing from. The panicked crowd were quickly funneled into the directions the shinobi wanted, and the street was clearing out fast.

This was bad. The Konoha forces were well-prepared in the event of an evacuation for the masses, leading them to the Konoha bunkers. Soon, Shirou and Lunea would be forced to follow the crowds once the streets cleared up.

"Get ready. Zetsu's coming in with a batch of clones." The slip of paper replied to Shirou.

Suddenly, a group of Konoha ninja arrived on the scene to support the first responders.

Then...chaos.

Konoha ninja started attacking Konoha ninja, and the evacuation protocols were interrupted as a fight broke out.

The sudden outbreak of chaos only returned the crowd to a state of panic as they couldn't identify which shinobi were allies and enemies.

All the while, Shirou and Lunea quickly snuck past the chaos.

It was all planned out ahead of the Konoha invasion. Zetsu's clones had the ability to mimic the appearance of people, which he used effectively in distracting the Konoha forces.

Zetsu's role was to counter the forces by copying the appearance of as many of the Konoha shinobi and then use it against the rest, thereby wrecking total havoc to the communication lines and cohesion of the village ninja.

Fights erupted around them and the pair of infiltrators easily made their way into the disguised ROOT building.

Once inside, Shirou and Lunea ran into a number of civilians. Unlike the panicked people outside, the ones inside were calm and rather...organized.

ROOT Shinobi under disguise, very bad ones at that.

The pair and the group of civilians stared at each other until Shirou killed one with a traced kunai.

Both groups quickly devolved into chaos as the civilians showed their true identities and fought the intruders. An attempt was made to activate the alarm, but Shirou and Lunea stopped them.

The last body flopped on the floor after one nasty smack from Lunea broke his neck.

Shirou traced the undercover location for the entrance, and upon finding it, immediately led both down into the secret passageway into the underground stronghold.

Moments later, Zetsu clones popped out of the ground to replace the eliminated ROOT shinobi to buy the duo more time.

Everywhere. They were everywhere.

Minato watched in horror as the arena collapsed into utter chaos as Konoha shinobi seemed to attack their fellows. Half of the civilians had been evacuated before what was assumed to be reinforcements suddenly attacked the ninja in the stadium.

"Please hold on while I evacuate the rest!" Minato urged them while he grabbed as many civilians in the VIP box and flashed away to the bunkers.

A projectile whistled through the air, and was intercepted as golden dust flew into the air. Then, more dust congested until a barrier was formed against the hail of ice coming from one SS-ranked criminal.

"Any plans? We are up against Esdeath." Sasori asked while summoning a group of puppets.

"My chains could work, but that doesn't stop her attacks." Kushina suggested from the side.
