Tajima had given a hiss. Now they also had a hurt medic? "Tch. This cannot get worse." Little did he know, it did... After they had gone to get Ren, the shout reached their ears.

Tajima felt his heart sink, but immediately directed his clan. "Women and children, go to the hiding places and don't come out until we fetch you! All those able to fight, get your weapons! They can't advance further!"
How far were the Senju? How had they been found? They could not let them find their settlement!

"You!" he growled at Itachi. "Even if it is the last thing you do, take my sons to safety! You are to go with the women into a cave nearby. Hide your chakra at any and all cost!" This was their land, they had at least this advantage...
Without waiting for a response from Itachi, he took off back to his home, to don his armor and get his gunbai.
