SorrRy for not updating in so long, I've been a bit busy

Here's a longer chapter as a sorry!

A few days later

Tsunade was returning to the mansion from a visit to the hospital with Akira

She had helped her with a tricky patient.

Suddenly Akira's only visible eye widened as she stopped midst her tracks

"What's wrong?" Tsunade asked raising an eyebrow and looking back at her.

"Impossible....." Akira muttered

"What??" Tsunade repeated, "what's impossible?"

Akira finally looked up at her with an expression of great fear

"Morphaics.....in this part of the continent......I have just the worst luck....."

"Morph-what now's?"

"Lady Tsunade I need you to order some ninja to evacuate the northern side of the village back towards the south, and quick."

"What!? Why what's going on?"

"I told you, morphaics, they're monsters- they're close by I can't explain, please just do it. I promise I'll explain later."

"B-but!!"  Tsunade hesitated

"Please! Just trust me this one time!" Akira said putting her hands into fists, close to shaking Tsunades shoulders, but she kept to herself.

Tsunade saw the desperation and panic in akiras only visible eye and decided to count on it

She quickly called a ninja and ordered them to spread the word to evacuate the northern part of the village immediately.

Tsunade followed Akira through the chaos toward the northern part of the village. Several villagers were quickly being evacuated behind.
Most ninja themselves were quite startled.

"Will you explain what's going on now?" Asked Tsunade a bit worried
She hadn't seen Akira this disturbed before.

"No time get back," she said to Tsunade as she quickly guided a few more villagers behind

"Huh? Why me ?" Tsunade said being pushed amongst the crowd

"Because only I can fight these things!" She said looking around to get a picture of the situation

"Okay....now...Earth wall! She commanded thrusting both hands forward

Before she knew it a large wall quickly formed just a meter in front of Tsuande as it stretched wide across from the left to the right, neatly cutting through the houses. It had to be at least 20 feet in height

"Oy!" Tsunade said quickly climbing to the top to see Akira walking ahead

She looked back up at her
"Tell a few ninja to stay up as well in case any civilians were left out! Make sure all they do is rescue and retreat!"

Tsunade sighed

She never liked being bossed around, but she trusted Akira quite a bit. Plus, it's unusual for her to be so perturbed.

She did what Akira told her and commanded a few ninja to scout around for any stray civilians

She crossed her arms and waited to see what the hell these creatures are

Soon enough her expectations were much exceeded, as she saw 10-15 huge beasts leaping out of the forest side and sprinting towards the direction of the village.

They were twisted grotesque entities with a semi humanoid form. They looked around 8 feet tall and their bodies were covered in armour in most places for protection
