Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Even if it doesn't harm you, what if it briefly controls your body and releases a Tailed Beast Ball at Konoha? What will you do then?

"I..." Kushina was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

If Kurama actually did that, she might be very disappointed, but as long as Kurama doesn't kill those she cherishes, Kushina doesn't really care about the lives of the other Konoha people. She won't kill innocent people indiscriminately, but if it has already happened, then naturally Shiraha and Kurama are the most important to her, and the rest are Tsunade and Nawaki.

"Hmph! Even if I wanted to seek revenge on Konoha, I wouldn't use such despicable methods. I'm not like you humans!"

Nine-Tails glared at Mito and roared.

"I'm sorry, I have to prepare for the worst. I hope you won't blame me." Mito looked at Kushina apologetically.

"Grandma Mito," Kushina shook her head, "I won't blame you."

Although she didn't agree with Mito's actions, she could understand her feelings. After all, she didn't feel much belonging to Konoha right now, and if Shiraha and Kurama were to attack Konoha, she would definitely take action. This was probably why Mito was worried.

"Kushina, in this final moment, I hope you can promise me that you will never harm anyone from Konoha. Can you do that?" Mito's eyes were filled with hope. Kushina was different from her; the current Kushina had her own ideas.

"Shouldn't you be worried about whether Konoha will harm her? If the people of Konoha try to attack her, can't she fight back?" Kurama said angrily. This Mito Uzumaki, she really is just like Hashirama Senju, they're both equally unreasonable.

"My request is conditional on the fact that no one from Konoha has attacked you first, nor harmed you, Bai Yu, or anyone you cherish," Mito added, a hint of a smile appearing in her eyes as she heard Kurama's angry words.

Kushina remained silent for a moment, then finally agreed to Mito's request:

"Grandma Mito, I promise you, as long as the people of Konoha don't harm me, Shiraha, Kurama, or the people I cherish, I will not lay a hand on anyone from Konoha."

As she spoke, Kushina looked at the Nine-Tails in the cage: "Kurama, you can do that too, right?"

"Hmph!" Nine-Tails snorted coldly and turned its face away.

"Thank you, Kushina." Mito gently stroked Kushina's cheek, her eyes filled with tender reluctance, as if she wanted to remember Kushina's voice, appearance, and smile forever.

"Grandma Mito..."

As Kushina watched Mito Uzumaki gradually disappear from her sight, her eyes filled with tears.

After the fall of the Land of Whirlpools, it was Mito who gave her the warmth of home, and even as she was about to disappear completely, she still cared for her.

The Nine-Tails crouched in the cage, staring at the spot where Mito's chakra had dissipated, and pursed its lips: "Damn Mito, what a pointless thing to do!"

As it spoke, Kurama stretched its forelimbs out of the cage, and a ball of orange chakra gradually seeped out of the cage.

Soon, a mini nine-tailed fox, half a meter tall, appeared outside the cage. It looked incredibly cute, making you want to hug it and pet it.

Kushina was taken aback:

"Nine Lama, how did you get out?"

[Chapter 111. A Spark and Another Dimension (Two-in-One Big Cup, Monthly Tickets Bonus 3)]

Inside the cage, the Great Nine-Tails crossed its forelimbs over its chest and closed its eyes. The Mini Nine-Tails in front of Kushina spoke:

"This seal couldn't completely restrict my movements to begin with. It can probably gather about one-tenth of my chakra now, but that's more than enough for you. Even when I temporarily took over your body last time, the chakra I used to use the Tailed Beast Ball was less than one-twentieth."

"Kurama, I hope you won't blame Grandma Mito, she..." Kushina came to the Mini Nine-Tails' side and hugged it.

"Hmph, I'm not even close to her, so I can't be bothered with her. Besides, do you think she just doesn't trust me? When are you going to use your brain?"

Kurama looked disappointed and frustrated with Kushina.

"Why are you scolding me again?" Kushina asked, completely bewildered.

"Since she was willing to come out and break the seal, why go through all that trouble? It's precisely because she has consistently shown a lack of understanding and suspicion towards me that your trust is so precious! This way, I will cherish your trust even more in the future. How can you not understand her feelings at all?"

Nine-Tailed Fox countered with a question.

“Grandma Mito…” Kushina was taken aback upon hearing this, a surge of emotion welling up within her as she recalled Mito’s earnest words of advice.

A short while later, Bai Yu re-entered the sealed space.

"What's wrong with you guys? Wow! There's a mini nine-tailed fox here, can I have a turn with it!"

"Get lost!" The mini-Nine-Tails kicked Bai Yu's chakra body away.

After listening to Kushina's explanation and understanding the general outline of what had just happened, Bai Yu fell into deep thought before speaking:

"Kurama, do you think it's possible that Lady Mito simply doesn't trust you, and that she's actually only on the first level, not as deep as you think?"

"Get lost!" The mini nine-tailed fox, enraged, kicked Bai Yu out of the sealed space with another kick.

"Kurama, how could you treat Shiraha like this?" Kushina pouted.

"I kicked his chakra body, it didn't do him any harm. It's just that this brat told a lame joke at a time like this."

Nine-Tailed Fox let out a soft hum.

"Actually, the seal left by Mito isn't very strong. It will only last for a few years before it completely dissipates. But by then, it would be quite good if you could make full use of the one-tenth of my current chakra. You don't have the old man's power in your body, so even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to use all of my chakra."

"But I've already mastered the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode," Kushina protested. "And who is that old man?"

"With your crude way of using it, without my cooperation, you will never be able to master my chakra on your own in your entire life."

I'll tell you about the old man later.

The breathing technique that Bai Yu taught you is very powerful, but it's barely effective when combined with my purified chakra.

Simply using my chakra will at most cause you to feel physically tired after you finish using it; you will never faint.

That breathing technique pushes your physical strength to the limit. My advice is that unless it's a critical moment, you should use the two abilities separately in the future.

Once you master immortal arts and your body gradually transforms into an immortal form, this situation will no longer occur!

"But I don't know any magic, and I've heard that the requirements for learning magic are very high. Can I learn it?" Kushina seemed a little unsure of herself.

Kurama curled its lip: "You idiot, you definitely can't do it on your own. I'll help you. Now start training properly. What's the use of sealing techniques? Once you master my chakra, who in the ninja world can be your match?!"

"But weren't you suppressed by sealing techniques back then? And if Bai Yu hadn't used the contract seal, you probably would have been captured by Madara last time, right? You were only sealed because you were beaten up by the First Hokage's Wood Release."

Kushina's three deadly questions silenced Kurama.

"..."

The mini-Nine-Tails broke free from Kushina's embrace, spun in the air, and kicked Kushina away.

"hateful--!"

......

The Hokage's office.

"Don't worry, Third Hokage, Kushina and I will be back soon."

Shiraha and Kushina were still going on a long trip together.

"Okay, come back soon, and be careful." Hiruzen Sarutobi forced a smile, having no choice but to agree to their request to leave the village again.

After all, Konoha and Sunagakure are currently at war, and Shiraha and Kushina are both top-tier fighters in the village, so they can't afford to offend them.

If only White Teeth were still alive!

After Bai Yu and Kushina left, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression gradually darkened. He only hoped to get through this Shinobi World War peacefully, and then retire after Orochimaru succeeded as the Fourth Hokage.

"Lord Sandai!" After a while, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression relaxed.

Minato Namikaze pushed open the door and entered, bowing slightly.

"Minato, are you confident about this expedition?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a smile. This grand-disciple was truly outstanding and a true inheritor of the Will of Fire.

"Yes! I will cooperate fully with Jiraiya-sensei," Minato Namikaze said with a determined expression.

“Very good! Although there are no signs of Iwagakure and Kumogakure sending troops at the moment, we must be on guard. The pressure you and Jiraiya face is no less than that of Orochimaru. Both the Third Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage are among the strongest ninjas in the world. Even I am not confident of defeating them. You must be careful.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave his instructions.

"Yes!"

"Minato, is there any progress on the improved Flying Thunder God Technique that you mentioned before?"

"Yes, by combining it with sealing techniques, I have successfully improved the Flying Thunder God Technique. The Flying Thunder God Technique has now become a ninjutsu that is perfectly suited to me. Furthermore, I have fully mastered the Three Directions Seal and the Four Symbols Seal. However, the Reaper Death Seal is too difficult, and I cannot master it yet."

Minato Namikaze made no secret of his progress in training from the Third Hokage, who had devoted himself to nurturing him.

"Alright! I'm relieved now. You go back and prepare properly. You can set off with Jiraiya in the next couple of days." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

Once Minato mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, he would be a level above other ninjas. Even if he couldn't deal with a terrifying powerhouse like the Third Raikage who could fight the Eight-Tails hand-to-hand, he could still roam freely on the battlefield.

Just like his teacher, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

The reputation of being the 'fastest ninja in the world' may be restored in Konoha.

"Yes!" Minato Namikaze bowed and retreated.

With Minato there, there was an extra layer of security... Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief.

......

Bai Yu and Kushina left the gates of Konoha and headed straight north.

The day has come to meet with Kakuzu.

Furthermore, with Sunagakure launching a large-scale attack on Konoha, the other villages are unlikely to remain peaceful either, and a Third Shinobi World War on a scale comparable to World War II is highly probable.

Unlike the last great battle, Bai Yu is now able to control his own destiny.

Now, he has been promoted to Grand Knight, mastered the "Crimson Dragon Calamity," and is also a third-class apprentice who has mastered a variety of spells. His overall strength should be considered mid-range among Kage-level characters.

Although he wasn't very confident in his ability to defeat the previous three Hokage, he believed he wouldn't be any worse than Orochimaru.

What's more, he also has a humanoid nuclear bomb, Kushina, by his side.

The Fourth Shinobi World War is no longer a fatal crisis for him.

As long as we don't provoke major powers, and with Madara hiding in the Land of Grass, there's no danger of things going wrong.

This Ninja World War was a disaster for all nations, but for Bai Yu, it was an opportunity.

"Bai Yu, where are we going?"

On the way, Kushina couldn't help but ask.

"I'll go to the vicinity of Takigakure to find Kakuzu first, with the goal of finding the 'Hero's Water' in Takigakure Village."
