Dren Hyuga watched for various potential threats through his Byakugan as he walked alongside a wooden fence. So far there wasn't too much to worry about, there was a small group of Solders nearby that were apparently talking about their plans for when they were done with their shift. Two shopkeepers who were arguing about competing prices and two other solders who were keeping a close eye on the arguing shopkeepers. It was apparently a somewhat normal day in Konoha except that there weren't a lot of people out but that was to be expected

After all, tonight was the night. And from what he saw it looked as if the Empire had no idea what was going to happen.

Dren continued casually walking through the village but stopped for a moment as he caught a glimpse of what looked like a woman standing over a series of graves who turned and walked away after a few moments of silence. [i]Its hard to find someone who hasn't lost someone to the empire these days.[/i] He thought as he continued watching for a few moments before turning away and heading for his home. He didn't stay at the Hyuga compound anymore. In his opinion, he had lost that right but hopefully he would redeem himself both in the eyes of himself and his clan tonight.

Karela couldn't help but notice the man who had been watching her for a moment. He had turned and walked away but Karela had manged to catch a glimpse of his eyes before he had managed to fully turn around. He was a member of the Hyuga clan.

Karela couldn't help but wonder what life was like for the Hyuga clan. Based on what she had heard from rumors, they were impressive fighters and their Byakugan allowed them to target an opponents Chakra pathways. And unlike her now destroyed clan, they had a place to call home. Karela let out a sigh and headed for the one room apartment she called home. It was there that she could prepare for the coming battle tonight.
