Her parents are being obnoxious. It's 'dangerous outside' and 'no place for a child' and she should defend the evacuation tunnels blah blah blah.

That's all boring nonsense, so Hisame decides that she isn't a Uchiha anymore so it being un-Uchiha to ignore her parents doesn't count and she doesn't have to do what they say, which leaves her free to use her awesome ninja skills to sneak past the terrified and harried genin guarding the shaking caverns.

The world outside is, indeed, rather dangerous, and more than a bit chaotic. But there's a floating ring of light where the moon used to be, and the trees are fighting strange white figures, and when she climbs to the very top of the Hokage Monument she gets treated to someone throwing a METEOR at someone else and being stopped by a sudden MASSIVE TREE.

Suspicion confirmed: this is so much cooler than hiding in a tunnel.

Hisame secures her kunai better - she might get to stab an enemy, that'd be cool - and goes to hunt for a better view.

(She's rather put out to discover that the enemies are not very stabbable, but at least most of the people on her side are ignoring her except for some harried shouting telling her to hide.
