Well it would be bad if the children had to go home when it's dark and- OH SHIT OF COURSE THE TAGS ARE SIDETRACKING US GODDAMNIT I SEE IT CLEARLY NOW
So true. I love how incompetent this filler arc has made Tsunade and the current Konoha administration appear. The mere fact that they need to rely on children to save the entire village from complete annihilation is hilarious. Shouldn't ANBU deal with this shit? Wasn't this the whole reason why they were created? Why did they pursue the old man so feverishly only to drop the case and give it to some kids once it heated up?

It is however nice to see them trying their hardest to make shit appear plausible. At least It shows signs of effort, something which was sorely lacking in previous filler arcs.
