Kushina opened a scroll. With a bang, she took out a loudspeaker.
"A loudspeaker?" Everyone present froze, exchanging bewildered looks.
The ANBU ninja wearing an animal mask let out a derisive snort. "With so few people, you need a loudspeaker?" His voice came through the mask, carrying undisguised mockery.

Kushina's voice erupted through the loudspeaker. In an instant, the soundwaves exploded like thunder, sweeping across all of Konoha!

"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"
Minato's figure suddenly flashed into view. Forming hand seals, he spat out a blazing sea of fire! Orange-red flames roared forth like an enraged dragon, instantly sealing off the eight ANBU ninjas' path!
"Minato! Have you lost your mind?!" The ANBU leader was forced back, his voice beneath the mask filled with shock and fury. "Do you know what you're doing?!"
Minato's expression remained calm, though his azure eyes held a trace of apology. Yet that apology could not shake his unquestionable resolve. "Sorry, Kushina just wants to vent. I can't let you interfere with her."
The Police Force ninjas finally came to their senses. Gritting their teeth, they rushed forward and swiftly formed a human wall
