[Open] This is not what he'd expected from today.

[senseiofthesea]

Where: Academy and surrounding areas.
When: Starting just after noon on the 3rd, goes all day.
Who: Anyone who wanders in
Notes: Iruka had not planned to cover explosive tags today.

The first explosion had come from the far end of the building, and hadn't immediately set off any alarms. Another teacher might have had a mishap while teaching something about sealing.

The second explosion had all of the students tense, and the third had them hurrying out of their desks as he waved them in. Just in time too, because it wasn't a moment later that there was another boom, just overhead, and some of the recently vacated seats had rubble blown into them. It wouldn't have killed anyone, that he could tell, but he didn't know how many more were coming, and he wasn't going to risk the safety of the kids, even as more explosions sounded from beyond the Academy walls.

It was bad, the whole situation was very bad, and he snatched up one of the girls when another blast knocked her off her feet, keeping track to make sure that everyone was with him as he hurried them to the underground parts of the building. It was rarely used for anything but storage, but if the explosions were all coming from the roof, it would be the safest place until he was sure that they'd stopped.

The kids resisted staying put, of course, and as soon as he made sure everyone was uninjured and would not leave the area, he hurried out to help the other teachers as well. His kids would be okay, but he needed to get outside, and make sure that the people out there didn't need help too.

Some of the younger students had been scheduled for Taijutsu practice around that time, and he had no idea how bad it would be. The teacher in charge of them was new, and when he got out there, he was right to be concerned. It was chaos. And not just at the Academy either.

"I shall." It comes out quietly, after a few moments. He still needed to scout and see what other damage had been done, and relinquishing the child to better hands would allow him to move with one less worry on his mind.

He's off, then, the child cradled close to his chest, mapping his route there and taking into account what areas were inaccessible due to damage and collapse.

It's a few minutes before he's back up, glancing at Iruka and then back to where he came from. Should the rest of the children be led down there?

"The girl with blond pigtails and the boy with the glasses." It was an immediate point as he was herding some of the kids together. "As soon as everyone is sorted you can settle that anxiety."

This time there is no nod that follows, he simply immediately moves to the aforementioned children, taking a moment to make sure they're alright with being moved, or to walk, and then moving back to whence he came.

Though there is no reply, he appreciates Iruka's last comment.

[senseiofthesea]

He smiled slightly, it fading quickly as he turned back to the kids. When everyone was moved, he'd release Itachi to move on. he knew he needed to.

And he'd help get all of them to safety, while his mind idly focused on everything else. He'd have a lot of reporting to do, and didn't know which of them would be home first to assess if any damage befell their shared home.
