Escape From Konoha

"Grandma Hokage, why do you..."

Naruto patrolled back and forth between the figures of Tenzo and Tsunade, and felt that what happened tonight was so weird that even Hokage dispatched it himself.

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

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

Out of 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 from the ghost kingdom, right?"

Tianzang's chakra is full of limbs and bones, and his eyes are extremely alert, ready to attack at any time.

The country of ghosts! spy! Naruto looked at Asami Masumi in shock, he didn't expect the other party to have such an identity.

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

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

Naruto clenched his fists tightly, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

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

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

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

Naruto clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Asami Masumi smiled and said nothing, not taking Naruto's threats to heart.

With the strength of the other party at this time, it is still a little too late to threaten her.

Putting her hands into the pockets of her white coat, as if walking leisurely, she turned to face Tsunade, meeting the face with a slightly complicated expression.

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

Tsunade nodded, sighing.

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

"Why? As Hokage, shouldn't you be the most aware of this kind of thing?"

Regarding Tsunade's question, Asami Masumi asked with a strange face.

"You really know everything."

Tsunade's heart trembled.

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

As for Asami Masumi, it seemed as if she already knew about it.

"Isn't this a matter of course? After someone killed her husband, who would pretend to be nothing and work hard under the hands of the enemy? It's just a pity that the guy in the third generation died so easily. I wanted to make a biopsy of him Research, cut off his meat piece by piece and feed it to the dogs."

Asami Masumi raised the corners of her mouth, her smile was tinged with ferocity, her eyes were dark, revealing a distorted dark emotion.

Tsunade was silent, and the complex look in his eyes became more intense.

Takeshi Fujisaki died in the political struggle between Hokage and Nebu, and it was her teacher Hiruzaru Sarutobi who abandoned the other party and regarded the other party as an abandoned son and sent him to Danzo for disposal. …

In order to cover Danzo's crimes!

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 also hesitated whether to tell Asami Masumi these things.

However, there is no need to worry so much now.

The other party obviously knew more and more comprehensively than her Fifth Hokage.

"Maybe, I can't stop, and there's no reason to stop your hatred and hatred for Sarutobi-sensei. But, as the Fifth Hokage, I have the responsibility to arrest you. Take it easy, Masumi, you can't escape."

Tsunade sighed and regained his composure, the complex look in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a firm look.

"That's fine, Hokage-sama. Personally, I admire you very much. If you had taken over this position earlier, maybe I wouldn't have come to where I am today... It's a pity."

Asami Masumi continued to laugh.

Her regretful expression seemed genuine.

Tsunade frowned, always feeling that something was not quite right.

And this kind of ailment has always existed since Asami Masumi attacked Naruto and exposed them, luring them to gather here.

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

But at this time Asami Masumi was the first to lose her temper, and took the initiative to expose her identity as the ghost.

Speaking of which, the current scene gave Tsunade a familiar feeling.

It seems that a similar thing happened in Konoha at some time in the past. Someone attacked Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in the village...

Attack Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!

Tsunade's body shook, and he suddenly thought of something.

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

Attract fire and allow non-combatants to leave safely.

Transfer...disappearance incident...the whole family disappears...

For a moment, Tsunade seemed to understand something, and his face became extremely ugly.

"The recently missing ninjas in the village are your subordinates! They are also spies placed in Konoha by the Ghost Kingdom!"

Tsunade wasn't asking questions, but was confirming something with an extremely positive tone.

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

Asami Masumi narrowed her eyes and praised.

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

Tenzo glanced at Tsunade, then at Asami Masumi, as if he had figured out something, and some clues finally became coherent in his mind.

At the beginning, Anbu's investigation direction was not associated with this aspect. After all, the disappearance of personnel has nothing to do with the investigation of the inner ghost in the medical department.

Coupled with the discovery of traces of fighting in the homes of the missing persons, it is natural to attribute this part of the missing persons to 'victims', and to believe that this is something done by an attacker, without thinking that these disappearances are the result of this group of missing persons. A play written and directed by the staff.

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

Because the so-called battle traces were created by the missing person himself.

"Take her down!"

Tsunade waved his hand and pointed at Asami Masumi, not going to talk nonsense.

When she, Hokage, and Anbu's attention shifted here, those spies had already started to move, evacuating Konoha.

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

Tsunade was annoyed at his carelessness. The opponent's purpose was not to get Kyuubi at all, but to use the illusion of "attacking Kyuubi" to attract Hokage and Anbu, so that his subordinates could start their actions faster. evacuate.

Hearing Tsunade's order, dozens of Anbe swarmed up, not as polite as Masumi Asami.

Facing this kind of traitor who endangers Konoha's safety, there is naturally no reason to speak.

Anbu's operations are very powerful, and the weakest Anbu is also the best of the Chunin, not to mention, there are a considerable number of high-level ninjas.

"It's a pity... My arrangement has been completed. Now that you're here, let's stay here for a while, Hokage-sama. To be honest, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is really a very good bait."

Asami Masumi smiled slightly and made a mudra with her hands.

Four purple beams of light quickly shot up to the sky from the four corners of the earth.

Whether it was Tsunade or Anbu's movements, there was a pause, and they couldn't help but look in the direction of the purple beam of light.

I saw the erected purple beams of light, connected two by two, forming a purple barrier wall, which blocked the surrounding area in all directions.

"Four Purple Flame Formation, when?"

Tsunade opened his mouth wide, completely unaware that the enchantment technique was pre-set around him.

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

Shadow clone!

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

"..."

Tianzang and the others couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat off their faces, Hokage-sama looked terribly angry!

This kind of strange force, even if it is hit, the bones of the whole body will shatter lightly.

"What are you doing in a daze, quickly decipher this enchantment!"

Seeing Anbe looking at each other, Tsunade was even more angry and shouted loudly.

"yes!"

The Anbu spread out in the blink of an eye, reaching the four corners inside the barrier.

It was discovered that it was not a ninja that maintained the Four Purple Flame Formation, but a scroll that stood upright.

A part of the paper was spread out from the scroll, and the set enchantment formula was engraved on it, and Chakra was continuously released from it.

It only needs the operator to guide with a specific spell, and the scrolls ambushed around, and the enchantment spell in it, will be activated automatically.

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

Moreover, the power of the Four Purple Flame Formation that was maintained remained undiminished, even if a ninja of the Five Kage level was locked inside, it would be 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 enchantment will last for at most two hours before disappearing automatically. …

However, Anbu would naturally not wait until the chakra in the scroll was exhausted. The task Tsunade gave them was to break the barrier as soon as possible.

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

Sitting cross-legged, they formed mudras with their hands, operated the chakra in their bodies, turned into entities and flowed to the scroll that released the chakra, communicated with the unowned chakra in it, found flaws in it, and rewritten the spells on the scroll.

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

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

"Judging by the amount of chakra released from the scroll, it will take about half an hour."

Anbu replied.

Tsunade rubbed the center of his brows, it seems that Anbe's ability level needs to be further improved.

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

Asami Masumi's accomplice used the disappearance incident to successfully mislead the Anbu's investigation direction.

But also because of this incident, the Anbu have stepped up their patrols in the village.

In this case, it would be extremely difficult to repeat the same trick and set up a 'disappearance incident'.

Especially after Ushima Shinoya 'disappeared', Anbu's actions became more covert, and they became more sensitive to the surrounding movements.

Therefore, after Ninja’s “disappearance” on Ushima, Asami Masumi’s accomplices stopped for the time being, waiting for an opportunity.

And this opportunity must wait until Anbu's sight leaves the village and shifts to other places.

The existence of a spy, even if he sees 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, Asami Masumi chose to expose herself in advance, just like Chiba Shiraishi 19 years ago, using the attack on Nine-Tails Jinchuriki as a bait to divert the attention of Hokage and Anbe, so that the last accomplices 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 left Konoha already.

Although anxious, Tsunade did not show panic on his face, and remained calm.

Time passed minute by minute, and while everyone was waiting anxiously, the enchantment wall covering the surroundings finally began to shake violently, twist, and finally melt into the air and disappear into nothingness.

"Tianzang, you take some people to search for Asami Masumi's associates, and I will lead people to chase Asami Masumi."

Although half an hour was wasted here, no matter how fast the other party moved, it was impossible for him to leave the Kingdom of Fire in such a short period of time.

"yes!"

Tenzo has some guesses about Asami Masumi's associates.

After finishing speaking, Tianzang disappeared from where he was, and left with him, along with sixteen members of Anbu from a detachment.

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

Seeing Tianzang leave so simply, Naruto was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Tsunade eagerly. …

"...You go and act with Tianzang...that is, your Yamato captain, and that root kid."

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

"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

Naruto chased after Tianzang in the direction where Tianzang left, and Zuo Jing, who was sitting on the giant bird in the sky, also moved accordingly, following Tianzang's side.

"You go to inform Jiraiya, and say that the inner ghost has been found, and he doesn't need to keep an eye on him. Let him follow and take care of Naruto. Afterwards, you can notify the garrison at the border and block the entire Fire Kingdom. No one is allowed in or out!"

Tsunade turned to an Anbe and said to him.

"yes!"

Anbe, who was touched, responded and disappeared from Tsunade.

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

Naruto, who was standing at the door of Haruno Barbecue Restaurant and following Tenzo, blinked his eyes in doubt, wondering why Tenzo came here?

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

"All the missing persons recently, the only thing they have in common is that they have a special liking for this barbecue restaurant. If it is not a coincidence, this barbecue restaurant may hide some secrets."

After finishing speaking, Tianzang took Naruto and Zuoi, who was silent at the side, into Haruno Barbecue Restaurant.

"Welcome, are there three?"

The reception staff showed a sweet smile, but their faces could not hide a trace of fatigue.

Tianzang shook his head and said, "No, we're not here for dinner. I have something to ask the owner of Chunye here, where is he?"

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

Only then did the staff take a careful look at the three of Tianzang, and said in surprise: "You are Sakura's companions, and you have a mentor, Jonin, right? No wonder you look so familiar."

"Yes, where is the shopkeeper Haruno?"

Tianzang asked again.

The staff smiled helplessly and said, "Because Sakura fainted from exhaustion, the owner sent her home to rest... Well, about an hour and a half has passed."

For this reason, the staff in the store are very busy.

"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 members of Haruno's family are not here, right?"

Tianzang grasped the point.

"Yes, the proprietress didn't come tonight, she's still here tomorrow afternoon."

The staff thought about it and said.

"I see, if you don't mind, can I search it here?"

Tianzang looked directly into the staff's eyes, putting a little pressure on them.

"Well...as long as you don't cause trouble for the guests."

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

"Thank you."

After Tianzang said something, he quickly entered the shop and conducted inspections on the entire barbecue shop.

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

Ten minutes passed and nothing was found here.

When Tianzang came outside the door of Chunye Barbecue Restaurant, he faintly felt that something was not quite right.

"Come on, let's go to Sakura's house."

Tianzang let out a breath with a serious expression on his face.

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

The lights in the room were brightly lit, but the curtains were all closed, so you couldn't see what was inside.

Tianzang rang the doorbell, so that the ringtone could be heard clearly inside the house.

However, after more than ten seconds passed, 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 thin piece of wood stretched out from between his fingers, drilled into the keyhole, and with a click, the lock was unlocked from the inside, and the door was gently pushed open.

Taking 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 darkened, and he made a gesture, and a dozen black shadows moved in the living room of Haruno's house, opened all the rooms on the first floor, and searched.

Tianzang led Naruto and Zuoi to the second floor.

Bedrooms, study rooms, and laboratories are checked one by one.

"Didn't the person 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 girly style, but there was only a little smell left in it, but Sakura was not resting on the bed in the bedroom, so Naruto scratched his ears and looked at Tianzang in puzzlement .

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

Zuo Jing's voice was heard not far away, Tianzang and Naruto ran over quickly and came to the laboratory.

I saw Zuo Jing searching for something in the laboratory by himself, and when he saw the two people coming in, he turned his head and said, "All the research materials here have disappeared, and what is left are only some useless reference books. "

Naruto was stunned, but Tianzang was silent.

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

I remember, Haruno Zhao said something like this when talking about Tang Tian Zhongren:

"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."

As a vegetarian, Don Tanaka Shinobu always pretended to be waiting for someone, but in fact he didn't wait for someone.

But in essence, as the spy of the ghost country, Dota Nakashi has already waited for someone and successfully completed the information transmission work?

Because the person who has to wait is none other than Haruno Ouga who will go over and talk to Dota Nakin!

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

"...I don't know what happened recently. A waiter in the barbecue restaurant at home asked for leave. Now I have to go home to help at night..."

The yakiniku restaurant has been suddenly busy recently.

The waiter asks for leave to rest.

Sakura has to go home every night to help.

Combined with the current situation, Sakura, as a medical ninja, is responsible for the important task of developing medical symbols. The research materials she usually sorts out will be handed over to the medical department for review by the people there, but Sakura will definitely Keep backup data. …

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

The Haruno couple and Sakura also disappeared... Just like the previous missing persons, the whole family disappeared.

Tianzang's complexion changed from cloudy to cloudy.

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

Eliminating those lengthy and misleading information, and connecting some side information together, formed a reasonable clue.

Sakura... No, the Haruno couple have a problem!

They are intelligence agents under Masumi Asami!

On the other side, Zuo Jing spread out the scroll he took out, took out his paintbrush, dipped it in ink and quickly painted on the scroll.

Lively black mice are depicted on the scrolls, there are about a hundred of them. Following the seal of Zuo Jing, the originally flat black mice miraculously stand up from the scrolls, forming a solid body, and quickly start on the upper and lower floors of Haruno’s house Move up.

Not long after, 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 room of the Haruno couple. On the bedside cabinet, there was their wedding photo.

The bed is removed to reveal a seamless wooden floor.

Zuo Jing looked at the exposed wooden floor, without saying a word, took out the paintbrush, dipped it in ink, and began to quickly draw on these floors.

After writing the last symbol, the wooden floor suddenly emitted a strong white light, making Naruto and the three of them squint their eyes.

As the white light disappeared, the ink on it also dried, and a piece of pale golden talisman emerged from the floor, extending out eight black spell chains~www.readwn.com~ The floor, walls, and ceiling were all in the form of chains. Covered by the spell, it's like a cage.

"Zuo Jing, can you crack it?"

Tianzang asked.

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

Zuo Jing made his request.

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

Five minutes later, the black incantation on the talisman paper faded, and the spell on it showed signs of instability. Following Zuo Jing and the two Anbu beside him, the final incantation was drawn, and 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, the originally flat floor, like an open door panel, collapsed downwards, revealing a large pitch-black hole.

Go to the edge of the black hole and peer down, and you can see several steps leading into the darkness.

This is a **** passage for people to walk down.

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

"Wait, Naruto, this may be a trap, don't go forward rashly."

Tianzang is not as reckless as Naruto, cracking the enemy's spells, and being smug and killed by traps, there are countless examples of this.

At any time, ninjas must keep a cool head and not be careless.

Tianzang Jieyin, 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, entered the darkness where he couldn't reach, and carefully explored the way.
