It was official. The shogun was dead. This meant that drastic measures had to be put into place. At the gates, notices would be posted, and they’d read as follows:
By decree of the Raikage,
The gates are closed for non-essential travel. – Only shinobi carrying passports issued in relation to missions regarding the ongoing war against the Tenouzans will be allowed through.
Regular travel passports are suspended until further notice.
Shinrya Kitsune,
Juuichidaime Raikage
