Escape From Konoha

"Mother Hokage, how are you..."

Naruto patrolled back and forth between the figures of Tianzang and Tsunade, thinking that tonight's events were too strange, and even Hokage himself dispatched.

Tsunade didn't answer Naruto's question, and continued to look at Masumi Asami with complicated eyes, sighing, and having endless regrets.

"It came faster than I thought, and sure enough, I still can't underestimate you."

In the corner of Asami Masumi's eyes, she glanced at Tsunade's figure and smiled lowly.

"No, so far, there are still many things that I don't understand. However, since you jumped out on your own initiative, it means that you are a spy in the land of ghosts, right?"

Tianzang's Chakra is full of limbs and bones, his eyes are vigilant, and he can attack at any time.

Ghost country! spy! Naruto looked at Masumi Asami in shock, not expecting the other party to have such an identity.

But no matter how naive, Naruto understands what kind of danger a spy is.

"You... are you Chiba Shiraishi's subordinate?"

Naruto clenched his fists, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"To be more precise, he is my immediate supervisor. Although I feel very unhappy with him, he always arranges some complicated and troublesome tasks for me in Konoha, and I almost fell into crisis several times."

Masumi Asami didn't seem to mind telling such information, or he was provoking Naruto and making him lose his cool.

"I'll let you tell everything about him!"

Naruto clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Masumi Asami smiled without saying a word, not taking Naruto's threat to heart.

With the strength of the other party at this time, it is still a little bit short of waiting to threaten her.

Putting her hands into the pockets of her white coat, she looked like she was taking a leisurely walk. She turned to face Tsunade, and met the face with a slightly complicated expression.

"Don't show such a sorry expression, Hokage-sama. You must have been eyeing me for a while."

Tsunade nodded and sighed.

"Yeah, when Tianzang sent me a letter, I still didn't want to believe all this. But I didn't expect that you would really be... Why? Why would you do such a thing?"

"Why? As Hokage, shouldn't you be the clearest person?"

Asami Masumi asked Tsunade's question strangely.

"You sure know it."

Tsunade froze.

Regarding the truth about the death of the other party's fiancé Takeshi Fujisaki, she was also recently, and it was restored from the side, and it was not 100% sure that the other party must have died in the political struggle between the three generations of Hokage and the root.

Asami Masumi, however, seemed to have known it for a long time.

"Isn't this a matter of course? Someone killed my husband, who would pretend to be nothing and work hard under the enemy's hands? It's just a pity, that guy from Sandaime died so easily. I wanted to do a biopsy on him. Research, cut up his meat piece by piece and feed it to the dog."

Asami Masumi raised the corners of her mouth, her smile had a ferocious color, her eyes were dark, revealing a twisted dark emotion.

Tsunade was silent, and the complex color in his eyes thickened.

Fujisaki Takeshi died in the political struggle between Hokage and Genbe, and abandoned the other party, regarded the other party as an abandoned child, and sent it to Danzo to deal with it was her teacher, Sarutobi Hizen. …

In order to cover up the crime of Danzo!

Thus sacrificing Asami Masumi's fiancé!

Any questioning is meaningless at this time.

There is no more natural reason for revenge than this.

Therefore, Tsunade felt complicated. When she first learned the truth, she was also hesitant to tell Asami Masumi these things.

However, there is no need to worry about it now.

The other party obviously knows more and more comprehensively than her fifth Hokage.

"Maybe, I can't stop it, and there's no reason to stop you from hating and hating Sarutobi-sensei. However, as the fifth Hokage, I have the responsibility to arrest you. Take it easy, Masumi, you can't escape."

Tsunade sighed and cheered up again, the complex color in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a firm color.

"That's good, Hokage-sama. Personally, I admire you very much. If you could take over this position earlier, maybe I wouldn't be where I am today... It's a pity. "

Masumi Asami continued to laugh.

Her regretful expression seemed to be true.

Tsunade frowned, feeling that something wasn't quite right.

And this kind of wrong, from Asami Masumi's sneak attack on Naruto exposed, lured them to gather here, it has always existed.

At present, Masumi Asami's suspicion is only the biggest, but it has not yet been determined.

But at this time, Masumi Asami was the first to lose his temper and took the initiative to reveal the identity of his inner ghost.

Speaking of which, the current scene made Tsunade feel familiar.

It seems that at some point in the past, a similar thing happened to Konoha. Someone sneaked up on the nine-tailed man Zhuri in the village...

Sneak attack on the nine-tailed man Zhuli!

Tsunade's body trembled, suddenly thinking of something.

Nineteen years ago, when Chiba Shiraishi defected, he used the same trick to focus all Konoha's attention, causing the defectors of Uchiha and the Hinata clan to evacuate safely from Konoha.

Attract firepower and allow non-combatants to leave safely.

Transfer... Disappearance... The whole family disappears...

In an instant, Tsunade seemed to understand something, and his face became extremely ugly.

"The ninjas who recently disappeared from the village are your subordinates! They are also spies planted in Konoha by the land of ghosts!"

Tsunade is not questioning, but confirming something with an extremely certain tone.

"You have a smart and flexible brain, Hokage-sama."

Asami Masumi narrowed his eyes and praised.

"The missing person...is a spy?"

Tianzang glanced at Tsunade, then at Masumi Asami, as if he had figured out something, and some clues finally came together in his mind.

At first, Anbu's investigation direction was not related to this aspect. After all, the disappearance of people and the investigation of the inner ghost of the medical department have nothing to do with it on the surface.

Coupled with the discovery of traces of fighting in the homes of the missing persons, it is natural to attribute these missing persons to 'victims', believing that this was done by a certain attacker, and would not think that these disappearance incidents were originally the group of missing persons. A play written and directed by the staff.

The purpose is to confuse Anbe's investigation direction, give wrong information, and let Anbe fall into the wrong investigation direction. …

Because the so-called battle traces were made by the missing persons themselves.

"Take her!"

Tsunade waved his hand and pointed at Masumi Asami, not intending to go on talking nonsense.

When her Hokage and Anbu's attention shifted here, those spies had already started to evacuate Konoha.

Take Masumi Asami as soon as possible, and then the entire Konoha Village.

Tsunade was annoyed by his own carelessness. The other party's purpose was not to get the nine tails at all, but to use the illusion of 'attacking the nine tails' to attract Hokage and Anbu, so that his subordinates could start their actions faster, from Konoha. evacuate.

Hearing Tsunade's order, dozens of Anbu swarmed up, not being polite to Masumi Asami.

In the face of such a traitor who endangers Konoha's safety, there is naturally no reason to speak.

The formation of Anbu Action is very strong, and the weakest Anbu is also the best in Chunin, not to mention, there are still a considerable number of Kamunin-level ninjas.

"It's a pity... My arrangement has been completed. Now that I'm here, let's stay here for a while, Hokage-sama. Seriously, the nine-tailed man Zhuli is really a very good bait."

Asami Masumi smiled slightly, her hands knitted together.

Four purple beams of light quickly rushed into the sky from the four corners of the earth.

Whether it was Tsunade or Anbu's movements, they were all stunned, and couldn't help but look towards the direction of the purple light beam.

I saw the purple light beams erected, connected in pairs, forming a purple enchantment wall, which blocked the surrounding area in all directions.

"Four Purple Flame Array, when?"

Tsunade opened his mouth wide, completely unaware that someone around him had preset a spirit formation technique in advance.

Masumi Asami didn't explain, and while smiling, her body turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.

Shadow clone!

Seeing this scene, Tsunade was so angry that the chakra in his body began to boil rapidly, and the earth under his feet sunk in a large piece with the compression of the high-density chakra, making a miserable cracking sound, extending in all directions, even Touched the edge of the enchantment.

"..."

Tianzang and the others could not help but wipe the cold sweat on their faces, Hokage-sama looked so terrifying when he was angry!

This kind of strange force, even if it is touched, the bones of the whole body are broken lightly.

"What are you doing, hurry up to break this enchantment!"

Seeing Anbu looking at each other, Tsunade became even more angry and shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

The Anbu dispersed in the blink of an eye and reached the four corners inside the barrier.

It was found that it was not a ninja that maintained the Four Purple Flame Array, but a scroll that was erected upside down.

The scroll spreads out a part of the paper, which is engraved with the set enchantment technique, and continuously releases chakra from it.

As long as the surgeon guides with a specific technique, the scrolls lying in ambush around, the enchantment technique in it, will start automatically.

Even one person can complete the Four Purple Flame Array that requires four people to operate.

Moreover, the power of the Four Purple Flame Formation maintained is not diminished at all, even if the ninja of the Five Shadows level is blocked inside, it is difficult to escape.

The disadvantage is that the chakra stored in the scroll is limited, and the maintenance time is not long.

Judging from the results of Anbu's detection, this barrier will automatically disappear after a maximum of two hours. …

However, the Anbu people will not be foolish enough to wait until the chakra in the scroll is exhausted. The task given to them by Tsunade is to break this barrier as soon as possible.

Among the Anbu gathered here, there is no shortage of elite ninjas who are proficient in spirit formation. The Four Purple Flame Array is also a high-level spirit formation that they must learn. They are very skilled in the use and removal of this spirit formation.

Sitting down cross-legged, they formed a seal with their hands, turned the chakra in their bodies, turned into an entity, and flowed to the scroll that released the chakra, communicated with the ownerless chakra, found flaws, and rewritten the spell on the scroll.

"How long does it take to lift this barrier?"

Tsunade came to one of the corners and asked Anbu who sat down cross-legged and communicated with the scroll technique.

"Based on the amount of chakra released from the scroll, it takes about half an hour."

Anbu answered.

Tsunade rubbed his eyebrows, it seems that Anbu's ability level needs to be further improved.

But thanks to Masumi Asami's "confession", some things that I don't understand are all connected in series.

Masumi Asami's accomplices used the disappearance incident to successfully mislead the Anbes' investigation direction.

But also because of this incident, Anbu's patrols in the village increased.

In this case, it would be extremely difficult to set up a 'disappearance event' by repeating the old tricks.

Especially after Shinobu's "disappearance" on Umashima, Anbu's actions were more concealed, and they were more sensitive to the surrounding movements.

Therefore, after Shinobu's "disappearance" on Amidoshima, Masumi Asami's accomplices temporarily died down and waited for the opportunity.

And at this moment, Anbu's eyes must leave the village and move to another place.

The existence of a spy, even if they see a little light, will lead to death.

Asami Masumi and her accomplices, if they want to transfer, they must go through careful arrangements and be cautious.

In the final stage, Masumi Asami chose to expose himself in advance, just like Chiba Shiraishi 19 years ago, using the attack on the nine-tailed man Zhuli as a bait to divert the attention of Hokage and Anbu, so that the last accomplice can be safely transferred.

During the period when they were trapped in the Four Purple Flame Formation, the enemy was already preparing to transfer work. If they acted faster, they might have already left Konoha.

Although he was anxious, Tsunade did not show panic on his face and kept his composure.

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the anxious waiting of everyone's heart, the enchantment wall shrouded all around, finally began to shake violently, twisted, and finally melted into the air and dissipated into nothingness.

"Tianzo, you bring some people to search for Masumi Asami's accomplices, and I will bring people to chase down Masumi Asami."

Although half an hour was wasted here, no matter how fast the opponent moves, it is impossible to leave the country of fire in such a short period of time.

"Yes!"

Asami Masumi's accomplices, Tianzang has some guesses.

After speaking, Tianzang disappeared from the spot and left with him, along with 16 members of Anbu from a detachment.

"Eh? Wait, what about me? Mother Hokage, what am I doing?"

Seeing Tianzang leave so simply, Naruto was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Tsunade eagerly. …

"...You go with Tianzang...that's your Yamato captain and act with that kid at the root."

Tsunade looked up at the sky, a giant bird made of ink flew in the air, and a figure sat on the back of the giant bird, it was Zuoi.

"Yes, the task is guaranteed to be completed!"

Naruto chased in the direction where Tianzang left, and Zuojing, who was sitting on the giant bird in the sky, also moved and followed Tianzang's side.

"You go to inform Jiraiya, and say that the ghost has been found. He doesn't need to stare at him. Let him follow him and take care of Naruto. After that, go to notify the garrison at the border and block the entire country of fire. No one is allowed in or out!"

Tsunade turned to an Anbe and said to him.

"Yes!"

Anbu, who was targeted, responded and disappeared from Tsunade.

"Captain Yamato, isn't this Sakura's barbecue restaurant? What are we doing here?"

Standing at the door of Chunye BBQ restaurant, Naruto, who followed Tianzang, blinked in confusion, wondering why Tianzang came here?

Didn't they say they wanted to track down Masumi Asami's spy associates?

"All the missing persons recently, the only thing they have in common is that they have a soft spot for this barbecue restaurant. If not by accident, this barbecue restaurant may be hiding some secrets."

After speaking, Tianzang took Naruto and Zuoi, who was taciturn, into the Chunye BBQ restaurant.

"Welcome, are you three?"

The reception staff showed a sweet smile, but they couldn't hide a trace of exhaustion on their faces.

Tianzang shook his head and said, "No, we are not here to eat. I have something to look for, the owner of Chunye here, where is he?"

I looked around the barbecue shop, but I didn't find Haruno Zhao and his wife.

The staff then carefully glanced at the three of Tianzang, and said in surprise: "You are Xiao Sakura's companions, and you have a guide for Junin, right? No wonder they look familiar."

"Yes, where is the store owner Haruno?"

Tianzang asked again.

The staff smiled helplessly and said, "Because Sakura fainted from exhaustion, the owner sent her home to rest... Well, it's probably been an hour and a half."

For this reason, the staff in the store were in a hurry.

"Sakura fainted?"

Naruto's face became anxious.

"Yes, according to the owner, it seems to be caused by fatigue."

The staff answered patiently.

"In other words, the three of the Haruno family are not here, right?"

Tianzang grasped the point.

"Yes, the lady boss didn't come tonight, she's still here this afternoon."

The staff recalled and said.

"I see. If you don't mind, can I search here?"

Tianzang looked directly into the eyes of the staff, bringing a touch of pressure to the other party.

"Well...as long as it doesn't cause any trouble for the guests."

The staff hesitated for a while, and then nodded in agreement with Yu Tianzang's majestic gaze.

"Thank you."

Tianzang said a word, and then quickly entered the store and performed it on the entire barbecue restaurant.

The Anbu, which is located in the dark, is also working in the same way, not letting go of any corner here. …

Ten minutes passed and nothing was found here.

Tianzang came to the door of the Chunye BBQ restaurant and felt that something was not quite right.

"Let's go and see Sakura's house."

Tianzang sighed, his face solemn.

The search team set off again, and in less than a minute, they arrived outside the two-story residential house of Haruno's house.

The house was brightly lit, but the curtains were all closed, and the things inside could not be seen.

Tianzang rang the doorbell so that it could be heard clearly in the house.

However, after more than ten seconds, there was no movement in the room, and no one came to open the door.

Tianzang rang the doorbell again, but there was still no sound in the room, and no one came to open the door.

Tianzang realized that something was wrong.

A small piece of wood stretched out between his fingers and drilled into the keyhole, only to hear a click, unlock the lock from the inside, and gently push the door open.

Take Naruto and Zuoi to the living room of Haruno's house. The TV is playing a program, the remote control is quietly placed on the coffee table, and the living room and kitchen are empty.

Tianzang's face sank, and he made a gesture. A dozen shadows scurried in the living room of Haruno's house, and opened all the rooms on the first floor to conduct a search.

Tianzang led Naruto and Zuojing to the second floor.

Bedroom, study, laboratory, one by one for investigation.

"Didn't the people at the barbecue shop say that Sakura was taken home by Uncle Haruno to rest? Why is there no one in the house?"

Naruto saw the empty bedroom, full of pink girlish style, but there was only a little smell left in it, but Sakura didn't lie on the bed in the bedroom to rest, let Naruto scratch his ears and look at Tianzang in confusion. .

"Captain Yamato, Naruto, there is a discovery here."

The voice of Zuojing was heard not far away, and Tianzang and Naruto quickly ran over to the research room.

I saw Zuo Jing searching for something in the laboratory alone, and when he saw the two coming in, he turned his head and said, "All the research materials here have disappeared, and all that is left are some reference books that are of little use. "

Naruto was stunned, and Tianzang was silent.

Suddenly, some unrelated information was generated in Tianzang's mind.

Remember, Haruno Zhao said something like this when talking about Don Tanaka Shinobu:

"I also asked him if he was waiting for someone, but every time he shook his head and didn't speak. Then he finished the baked vegetarian food and left."

Don Tanaka Shinobu, who is a vegetarian, always looks like he is waiting for someone, but he doesn't actually wait for someone.

But in essence, Don Tanaka Shinobu, a spy in the country of ghosts, has waited for someone and successfully completed the information transmission work?

Because the person who is waiting is none other than Haruno Zhao who will go over and talk to Don Tanaka Shinobu!

A few days ago, Sakura also said something that made Tianzang very concerned at this time:

"...I don't know what happened recently. A waiter at the barbecue shop at home took a leave of absence. Now I have to go home at night to help..."

The kebab shop has been very busy recently.

The waiter takes time off.

Sakura has to come home every night to help.

Combined with the current situation, Sakura, as a medical ninja, is responsible for the important task of developing medical charms. The research materials she usually organizes will be submitted to the medical department, and the people there will be responsible for reviewing, but Sakura will definitely Leave backup data. …

At this time, all the data in the laboratory disappeared.

The Haruno couple and Sakura also disappeared... Just like the missing person above, the whole family disappeared.

Tianzang's face changed uncertainly.

Thinking of the information collected by Anbu, Haruno Meabuki was weak and suffered a severe dystocia incident. It was Masumi Asami who came forward to solve the troubles of the Haruno family.

Eliminate those tedious and misleading information, and connect some trivial information to form a reasonable clue.

Sakura... No, there's something wrong with the Haruno couple!

They are Asami Masumi's subordinate intelligence officers!

On the other side, Zuojing spread out the scroll he took out, took out the brush, and quickly painted on the scroll with ink.

One by one vivid black mice were depicted on the scrolls, there were about a hundred of them, and with the seal of Zuojing, the originally flat black mice magically stood up from the scrolls to form entities, and quickly started on the upper and lower floors of Haruno's house. move up.

After a while, the mice returned one by one, forming a line of text on the scroll——

First floor, bedroom, under the bed.

Seeing this line of text, the three of Naruto walked towards the bedroom on the first floor.

It was the Haruno couple's room, and on the bedside cabinet, there was a wedding photo of the two of them.

The bed was moved away, revealing patches of perfectly fitted wooden floors.

Zuojing looked at the exposed wooden floor, did not speak, took out a paintbrush, and after dipping in ink, he began to quickly sketch on these floors.

After writing the last symbol, the wooden floor suddenly released a strong white light, causing the three of Naruto to narrow their eyes.

As the white light disappeared, the ink on it also dried, and a golden talisman paper emerged from the floor, extending out eight chains of black incantations. The floor, walls, and ceiling were all covered with incantations in the form of chains, as if a prison.

"Zaojing, can you crack it?"

Tianzang asked.

"I need the assistance of Anbu, who is proficient in sealing."

Sakai made his own request.

Tianzang nodded, and asked Anbu, who was proficient in sealing techniques, to come over from the search team to assist Zuojing in deciphering the sealing technique on this talisman paper.

Five minutes later, the black incantation on the talisman paper changed, and the above spells showed signs of instability. With Zuojing and the two Anbu beside him, the last incantation was drawn. The chain formed by the incantation, With a crisp sound, it broke apart.

A blue flame burned on the talisman paper and disappeared into the air.

Then ~www.readwn.com~ the originally flat floor collapsed down like an open door panel, revealing a large pitch-black hole.

Going to the edge of the black hole and peering down, you can see several steps extending into the darkness.

This is a ramp passage for people to walk down.

Naruto saw this passage and was about to go down, when Tianzang pulled his sleeve.

"Wait, Naruto, this may be a trap, don't be rash."

Tianzang is not as rash as Naruto, cracking the enemy's spells, and getting killed by traps in his own heart. There are countless examples of this.

At all times, ninjas must keep a cool head and not be careless.

Tianzang knot seal, extruding a piece of human-shaped wood from the body, forming a wooden clone that is the same as his own body.

He nodded to the wooden avatar, and the wooden avatar clearly walked down the stairs into the invisible darkness, carefully exploring the path.
