His orders... but then a problem!

Naruto finally had his idea come to him

"Okay girls. If the Hyuugas come back, I am going to have the guards right outside give a signal. It will tell you the direction they are coming from. The rest of the guards will then guide you to a safe room where you can hide." He stated.

Naruto then went to give the guards these same orders. If the Hyuugas return, they will give the signal and then guide them.

Naruto then left to find Mebuki, Sakura, and Ino. However as he arrived where he had left them... They were gone.

It wasn't impossible, he supposed. After all, it's not like he expressly told them to remain there. But something felt off to him.

So he next made his way to the Hokage's mansion, moving towards Tsunade's office where... The door was open, and both Tsunade and Shizune were missing.

This was different. He knew he had locked the door and expressly told them to stay there. So what had happened?

Naruto began to worry.
