Villagers witness Furido's Four-Man Team erecting a barrier around the Leaf Village to trap its inhabitants. Asuma eventually catches up with Sora and Naruto, discovering that the attackers intend to destroy the village using the lightning abilities derived from stolen corpses. While the team executes their plan to seal the area, Asuma engages them in combat to hold them off. This delay allows the attackers to escape before Asuma can stop them completely. The narrative is part of the Twelve Guardian Ninja arc, specifically identified as the twelfth installment out of eighteen episodes in the series.
