This kind of strange power, even if it is hit, the bones in the whole body will be shattered.

"What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and break this barrier!"

Seeing the ANBU looking at each other, Tsunade became even more furious and shouted loudly.

"yes!"

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

It was discovered that the person maintaining the Four Purple Flame Formation was not a ninja, but a scroll standing upright.

A part of the scroll is unfolded, with the set barrier spell written on it, and chakra is continuously released from it.

The magician only needs to use specific spells to guide him, and the scrolls and enchantment spells in the surrounding scrolls will be activated automatically.

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

Moreover, the power of the four-purple flame formation maintained has not diminished at all. Even if a five-kage level ninja is sealed inside, it will be difficult to escape.

The disadvantage is that the chakra stored in the scroll is limited and does not last long.

Judging from the detection results of the ANBU, this barrier will last for a maximum of two hours before disappearing automatically...

However, the ANBU would not wait foolishly until the chakra in the scroll was exhausted. The task given to them by Tsunade was to break this barrier as soon as possible.

Among the ANBU gathered here, there is no shortage of elite ninjas who are proficient in barrier techniques. The Four Purple Flame Formation is also an advanced barrier technique that they must learn. They are very skilled in the use and removal of this barrier technique.

Sitting cross-legged, they formed seals with their hands, circulated the chakra in their bodies, and turned into entities to flow to the scroll that released the chakra. They communicated with the ownerless 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 of the corners and asked an ANBU who was sitting cross-legged to communicate the scroll technique.

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

ANBU replied.

Tsunade rubbed her eyebrows, it seemed that the ANBU's ability level needed to be further improved.

But thanks to Asami Masumi's 'confession', some things that I didn't understand were all connected.

Asami Masumi's associates used the disappearance to successfully mislead the ANBU in the direction of their investigation.

But because of this incident, the ANBU increased their patrols in the village.

Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to repeat the same trick and set up a 'disappearance incident'.

Especially after Ameshima Shinobi's 'disappearance', the ANBU's actions became more covert and they became more sensitive to the movements around them.

Therefore, after Shinobu 'disappeared' on Amejima, Asami Masumi's associates temporarily stopped their activities and waited for the opportunity.

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

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

If Asami Masumi and her accomplices want to move, 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 nineteen years ago, using the attack on the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki as bait to divert the attention of the Hokage and ANBU, so that the last accomplice could be safely transferred.

During the period when they were trapped in the Four Purple Flame Formation, the enemy was already preparing for the transfer. If they had moved faster, they might have left Konoha long ago.

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

As time passed by, as everyone waited anxiously, the barrier wall surrounding them finally began to shake violently, twisting, and finally melted into the air and dissipated invisible.

"Tenzo, you lead some people to search for Asami Masumi's accomplices, and I will lead people to chase Asami Masumi."

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

"yes!"

Tenzo had some guesses about Asami Masumi's accomplices.

After saying that, Tenzo disappeared from the place and left with him, along with a detachment of sixteen ANBU.

"Eh? Wait, what about me? Granny Hokage, what should I do?"

Seeing Tenzo leaving so simply, Naruto was stunned and looked at Tsunade eagerly...

"...You go and act with Tenzo...your Captain Yamato, and that kid at the root."

Tsunade raised her head and glanced at the sky. A giant bird made of ink was flying in the sky. A figure was sitting on the back of the giant bird. It was Sakai.

"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

Naruto chased after Tenzo in the direction in which he left. Sakai, who was sitting on the giant bird in the sky, also moved with him, following Tenzo's movements.

"Go and inform Jiraiya that the mole has been found. He doesn't need to keep an eye on him anymore. Ask him to follow him and take care of Naruto. Then inform the border garrison and seal off the entire Fire Country.

No one is allowed in or out!”

Tsunade turned to an ANBU and said to him.

"yes!"

The ANBU who was clicked responded and disappeared from Tsunade.

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

Standing at the entrance of Haruno Barbecue Restaurant, Naruto, who was following Tenzo, blinked in confusion, wondering why Tenzo came here?

Didn’t he say that he wanted to track down Asami Masumi’s spy accomplices?

"The only thing that all the recent missing people have in common is that they have a soft spot for this barbecue restaurant. If it is not a coincidence, this barbecue restaurant might hide some secrets."

After saying that, Tenzou took Naruto and Sakai, who was silent at the side, into Haruno Barbecue Restaurant.

"Welcome, are you three?"

The reception staff showed sweet smiles, but there was a hint of fatigue on their faces.

Tianzang shook his head and said: "No, we are not here to eat. I have something to talk to the owner of Haruno here. Where is he?"

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

The staff then took a careful look at Tenzo and the other three, and said in surprise: "You are Sakura's companions, and you also guide jounin, right? No wonder you look so familiar."

"Yes, where is the Haruno shop owner?"

Tianzang asked again.

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

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

"Sakura fainted?"

Naruto's face became anxious.

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

The staff answered patiently.

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

Tenzo grasped the point.

"Yes, the landlady didn't come tonight, she will still be here tomorrow afternoon."

The staff member thought about it and said.

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

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

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

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

"Thank you."

Tianzang said something, then quickly entered the store and started to inspect the entire barbecue restaurant.

The ANBU located in the darkness also started working, not sparing any corner here...

Ten minutes passed and nothing was found here.

Tenzo came outside the Haruno Barbeque Restaurant and felt something was not right.

"Let's go to Sakura's house and have a look."

Tianzang exhaled and looked solemn.

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

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

Tenzo rang the doorbell, letting the ringing sound clearly reach the house.

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

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