"A mighty explosion echoed through the streets and [b]civilians began flocking towards the shelter[/b] behind the faces of the Hokages where Ryozan had just been in deep thought. The exodus was massive and the [b]Imperial guards began to swarm the streets."[/b]

Never happened. Figured I made it clear enough that everyone was already in a shelter knowing that this was about to go down, and the key time this happened was at the time the fewest amount of Imperials would be on patrol. The small number that stayed behind would be eliminated in quick silence, which means every other soldier is flooding from the barracks towards Konoha. Like I said before, don't like asking people to edit, but I thought I made the post perfectly clear. Adjust it please.
