Check that the namespace N1.N2 is not using the namespace N3.N4.N5

Rule ND9902 Samples of Custom rules / Check Architecture

A sample rule to adapt to your need: warns if a particular namespace uses another particular namespace.

Generate such a rule for namespaces A and B by right-clicking the Dependency Matrix cell (B in row, A in column) or the Dependency Graph arrow from A to B, then clicking Generate a code rule that warns if this dependency exists. Adapt the generated rule to your needs.

How to fix

This is a sample rule, there is nothing to fix as is.

CQLinq source

This rule is written in CQLinq, C# LINQ over the NDepend code model. It ships with every new NDepend project: you can read it, adapt it, or use it as a starting point for your own custom rules.
