Village Full of Alerted People (1)

Mekajiki and Hana quickly take Nikko back to their house as soon as he wakes up. Thankfully it is the Shoji clan's tradition to use all visual space blocking barrier while practicing their clan's jutsu because previously there had been case of spying on the patriarch which cost them greatly in the 1st Ninja war as the then Patriarch of the clan died at the hand of the enemies. But the sound from the explosion and the use of huge amounts of chakra can't be made to disappear from the entity like 3rd Hokage, Sannin or Danzo and many elders and patriarchs of clans who are powerful ninja as they are all very sensitive. So Mekajiki decided to wait for Nikko's full recovery and have a talk with him so that they can decide what to do in future.

Hokage Office

Hiruzen just fired his cigar as he was stressed by all the work while quietly thinking about his disciples who are now capable ninja and he wants to submit the duty of Hokage to one of them. So he was now comparing them inside his mind, but his thoughts got disrupted by the sudden sound and shockwave of the explosion which startled him. At first he thought that 9 Tail might get freed from the seal as lady Mito is now at almost her deathbed and started massacring the village as the tenacity of the explosion was so high.

But soon this continues and he also gets reports from his ANBU that all are okay in Senju compound and the direction of this probable fight is the compound of Shoji Clan. This made Hiruzen more tensed as although he don't discriminate the clan like other people do due to their problematic nature, he also don't actually believe them to have complete faith on them. But he also knew that he couldn't just enter their compound as they are quite eccentric and even don't show respect to 2nd Hokage while he was on the power. They only respect 1st Hokage Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. So, he decided to investigate at first and send his ANBU to stay on the perimeter of the Shoji clan.

Root HQ

Last night Danzo was busy as his Root is still not fully well equipped and has quite less people compared to the workload he has due to his ambition to rule the Konoha and rest of the ninja world as the sole emperor. He just finished working on one of the secret projects and was about to get fresh before the new day. But he suddenly got trembled by the shockwave and huge sound of the explosion which was similar to any bijudama which he faced during 1st Ninja war. Like Hiruzen, he also thought that 9 Tail might get freed from the seal as lady Mito is now at almost her last stage but he also proven wrong soon by his ROOT ANBU members who were responsible for spying that the sound was from the direction of Shoji clan and from the looks, it was quite sure that a 2 very powerful entity is clashing.

From the day he opened the ROOT, he wanted to annihilate the Shoji clan and study their body to get the knowledge and then power of that clan's special secret spirit jutsu which is one of the mysteries in the whole ninja world. He also believes that this Shoji clan should need to be restricted and annihilated as they are powerful and might cause his plan to fail. But he was quite unsure as they were quite mentally unstable also and might kill him from rage if he tries to do some hanky panky. But he decided to slowly but surely get rid of this clan after taking their legacy and power after he first hand felt their terrible power.

Secret Laboratory of Orochimaru

Though Orochimaru still has not tainted his soul in this timeline, he still was greedy for power and already started his research and tests. So while not on mission, he will spend his time in his laboratory doing testing and research. In the morning, he was also doing one research in his lab but suddenly a powerful explosion and shockwave almost erupted and destroyed most of his data and research materials. He was felt dumb as he didn't get who could attack him from no where. But as the sound and shockwave continued, he understood that battle between behemoths was happening and that also in this village. At first he thought that this might be Kage level shinobi or tailed beast, but soon the time went he successfully found that the direction is none other than the infamous Shoji Clan and decided to look after them from now on.
