Status: F*cked
[[Dawn, 3 July]]
I have twenty-seven panicked civilians with me, I'm hurt, I'm tired, and I don't have any idea if anyone I know is still alive. The village is in flames, or it was when I left it, and there was another bijuu, like the fox, tearing it apart. Another one! It almost seemed like the Sunagakure forces were controlling it. If they can, if they were, I have a hard time having any hope at all for Konoha.
I marshaled these civilians when the fighting first broke out--some were in a restaurant near one of the breached walls that I happened to duck into to get out of the smoke; others joined our group on the way out of the village. I led them out to the northeast, to the woods there, because that was the most direct, easiest way out, and it looked like it was still clear.
I deputized one of the more level-headed ones to keep them calm, deal with minor injuries, and keep the group together. Then I ran back to help in the fight, but I was way too late. By the time I got there all of Konoha was being evacuated. It was chaos. Chuunin and genin were herding civilians into the tunnels, ANBU and jounin were fighting and retreating. There were so many dead in the street I couldn't count them. Our shinobi were overwhelmed and unprepared. I think Sandaime is dead.
I feel sick. There was an ANBU with me--Gods I hope Yuugao got out--who died saving me. He called me sempai, so he must have been a rookie when I was still under the mask. I don't even know his name.
I finally had to retreat. It was hopeless. I took a blade in the right shoulder, but it isn't too bad. I got one of the civilians to bandage it for me when I regrouped with them. I guess the worst thing is my breathing, which is bad again from all the smoke and fighting. So much for light exertion.
Anyway, I'm gonna make them break camp and move further north. If anyone actually made it out of the bunkers, they'll be mustering at the tunnel exits. If there's no-one there... I have no idea what I'll do. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
