Are you guys seriously arguing with him regarding awareness?! Tsunade and Blacks Ops survived with NO awareness!
Funny how you won't entertain my posts, because this has already been addressed:
Neither was Tsunade and her Anbu team at the epicenter of the blast used on Konoha. She's

where Naruto and Deva were, which means they didn't take anywhere near the brunt of the jutsu, just the aftereffect of all the buildings and rubble being thrown out of the way while the crater was being made.
How did they survive and communicate with her summoning to protect the villagers? Telepathically AFTER seeing scale of the attack itself. Manga scans provide no other implications other than CTS being used while Tsuande was in pursuit.
This too was also addressed:
Katsuyu protected those she could so quickly because Tsunade already had her on "

" before CST even became a factor.
Then there's also the fact that Tsunade does not need to tell Katsuyu to encase the villagers inside her, when she did that by reflex already

. Not like this has any bearing on anyone who was at the epicenter of the blast, as they were destroyed regardless of if Katsuyu got to them or not.
Attacks no matter how fast, take time to travel and when this attack a shockwave is the outcome, pushing everything outward.
People don't seem to realise how small a distance 20 metres is. When Pain flattened Konoha with CST, he wasn't 20 metres up in the air. He was easily kilometres up in the sky, activated the technique, and it travelled kilometres downward to Konoha in a moment, with literally nothing but a crater of earth remaining at the epicenter of the blast. CST also happens to not have a visible form when it's travelling that an explosion would have, just the result from its force colliding with the environment/its target. Take Deva Path using that technique on the ground instead of in the air, from 20 metres instead of kilometres away, and the Sound Team get splattered.
Summoning is what? S/T aka instant and with summoning telecommunications transpire, so there's no need to elaborate before taking action.
Biting your thumbs isn't instant. Laying your hands on the ground isn't instant. Neither of those things are likely to happen when they don't even know they're about to be hit with CST until they get hit. At most they see the Pain bodies drop to the floor, bite their thumbs, and then Pain has to make it rain to wash their remains off the streets of Amegakure after blasting them to another zip code.
There's no reason or proof to debunk Manda being summoned in time to rescue whomever.
There is when up until now no one has explained how the Sound Team is going to know to preempt a jutsu that can't be anticipated with sensing, Sharingan or Byakugan from 20 metres away. Especially when only one person has any plausible knowledge on it.
The only thing needing to be addressed is whether Manda would survive and how many allies would he be able to gather in time.
That's easy to address.
He wouldn't.
And zero.
Learn when to pick and chose your battles, he clearly wasn't worth addressing in his original post.
The irony.
