"We have received an information that the Fuuma clan is planning an attack in 3 days, we need to prepare our defences." , Danzo stated.
"But how can we prepare in such a short time? the least we can do is 7 days", one of the elders replied.
"We need a quick and effective defense, we will set up the preparation immediately. Within 3 days we will fully concentrate on defending our headquarters.", Danzo replied.
"But how about the elders, women, and children?" ,Tomioka asked. "Some young women and elders are capable to fight so why don't we order them to join?", suggested by one of the elders.
Some elders disagree while the others agree, and they argued until Danzo stops them "Calm down, we need to focus on our plan of defense!".
"Why don't we use simple tools so it won't take too long for our preparation and additionally we could ask help to the local villagers." Lady Juri and some elders agrees with Tomioka's plan "Yes, its time for the local villages to pay us back with our protection.", Ino replies. Danzo thought about this but he feels uneasy about using simple tools against a strong foes such as the Fuuma clan, but he had no choice because its better than an incomplete defences with strong tools.
Later that night the clan were busy with their preparations, Danzo went back to his house and sigh, His wife welcomes him back and asked of what's wrong, and he answered "The clan is preparing its defenses with simple tools and I can't help but to feel uneasy about this".
"We could discuss it later after dinner.", she replied. "Alright, now where is Jino and Nataro?".
"As usual they are sparring in the garden." she answered. And thus Danzo goes to the garden to meet his sons.
