The next second, familiar purple light rose and surrounded the entire execution ground.
It was clearly another of Sarutobi Hiruzen's old tricks: the Four Violet Flames Formation.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, Najenda and the others emerged from underground, their faces grim as they looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
