Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

After reading it, Ashiho returned the headband to Shiraha and Kushina with both hands, and then asked:

"Do either of you have the appointment letter for the Third Hokage of Konoha?"

Generally speaking, when ninjas accept important missions, they will receive a mission request letter, especially missions between countries. When a ninja from Konoha comes, he will definitely have an appointment letter from the Third Hokage.

"No, we heard the news on the way and rushed here. If you don't believe us, you can leave now."

Bai Yu shook his head. Anyway, hiding in the shadows would still give him a chance to contact the demons, but it wasn't as convenient as going directly to see the priestess.

"This... I don't mean to doubt you two. Please don't misunderstand. It's because some members of the Yellow Springs Cult impersonated ninjas from other countries and attempted to kidnap Lord Miroku. That's why we're being so careful."

Asui quickly explained.

"A responsible person like Lord Ashiho is much more reassuring. I wonder what the Yellow Springs Cult is..."

Bai Yu smiled slightly. There was no chakra reaction in this Zu Sui's body. He was just an ordinary person. But sometimes it is people like this who are serious that can get things done.

"The Yellow Springs Cult is a sect founded by a ninja named Yellow Springs. These people have offered their souls to the demons, attempting to use the demons' power to rule the world. When the demons regain their power and summon the undead army, the world will be destroyed."

A look of fear appeared in Azusa's eyes.

"The Undying Legion?" Bai Yu frowned slightly.

Whether the facts are exaggerated is still unknown, but he is becoming more and more interested in this demon, Wangliang. Since the people of the Yellow Springs Cult can use Wangliang's power, it means that as long as one offers their soul to Wangliang, one can use its power.

It looks just like the demons from another world described in ancient texts.

Once the demon lies on his operating table, he will slowly uncover all the secrets.

"Can we go see Her Highness the Priestess now?"

Bai Yu asked.

"Please allow me to inform them," said Azusa respectfully. He couldn't see through the disguises of the Yellow Springs Cult members, but he could see through the priestess. Whether or not to see her was up to His Highness Miroku to decide.

Just as Ashiho was about to turn back to the palace, she suddenly stopped and asked, "May I ask what rank you two hold in Konoha? Would you mind telling me?"

"Rank? Oh! I'm a Chunin from the medical team, and she's a Genin."

Bai Yu said with a smile.

Chunin?

Genin? !

When Shiraha answered, Ashiho's heart sank.

Is Konoha treating the monster invasion as a joke?

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Yagami Shiroha, and hers is Uzumaki Kushina."

"Yagami Shiraha? Uzumaki?" Ashiho was taken aback. "You are the disciple of Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha?"

"Hmm." Bai Yu nodded, noticing the change in Zu Sui's expression.

It seems that the value of his 40 million two heads is not as high as the reputation of Orochimaru's disciple.

"Please wait a moment, I'll be right back." Azusa immediately ran towards the palace. One was a Chunin, but he was Orochimaru's disciple. The other was a Genin, from the once powerful Uzumaki clan, so he shouldn't be any worse than a regular Jonin.

After Azusa left, Shiraha whispered to Kushina, "It seems your status as a Konoha genin is still too low. You've been underestimated."

"Hmph! Just wait and see how I flatten that monster!"

Kushina pouted.

She had wanted to be promoted before, but the Third Hokage wouldn't allow her to participate in the Chunin Exams. But it doesn't matter now, since a significant number of Jonin in Konoha have witnessed her using Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, and it would be too unfair for her to participate in the Chunin Exams.

"The abilities of the demon are unknown, so you will be the main force in the battle. But don't be impulsive; gather information first," Bai Yu reminded her. With Kushina's strength, she would naturally be safe, but it was still best to be cautious when facing the demon, a monster from another world whose abilities were completely unknown.

After all, Bai Yu himself is essentially an invader from another world, and the abilities he possesses are basically not found in the Naruto world.

A moment later, Ashiho came out of the palace and came to Shiraha and Kushina: "Please come with me, Your Highness Miroku is waiting for you in the main hall."

Bai Yu nodded and walked towards the palace with Kushina.

As Bai Yu passed through the palace gate, he sensed a peculiar energy field, extremely weak, which he barely felt unless his body passed through it.

The hall on the first floor of the palace was very spacious, with only a cushion placed in the very center.

Sitting cross-legged on the cushion was a beautiful woman dressed in a shrine maiden's outfit, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was much younger than Bai Yu had imagined. In his mind, a shrine maiden should be an old woman with white hair and a face full of wrinkles.

"Lord Shiraha of Konoha, Lady Kushina, please forgive me for not being able to leave the palace to greet you, for only within the palace's barrier can the demons find my location."

Maitreya came to the two of them, looking apologetic.

"Your Highness Maitreya, you flatter me. May I ask what abilities the demon possesses? And what can I do for it?"

Bai Yu didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

Miroku nodded, his expression solemn, and said, "The Wraith is a special kind of alien monster that is immortal. No ninjutsu can kill it, not even a ninja's sealing technique."

The demons were summoned by cultists of the Yellow Springs Cult, who could use the demons' power to summon an undead army.

As a priestess, my power is perfect for countering the demons, but I'm powerless against the Undead Legion and the ninjas of the Underworld Cult. I'll have to entrust these to you two."

"I understand." Bai Yu activated his "Sixth Sense" to enhance his perception, and his mental power continuously scanned Miroku's body. There was no chakra in her body, but she was emitting a peculiar energy field. This power was not strong.

Is this the power of a shrine maiden?

Based solely on his senses, Bai Yu couldn't detect the extent of the priestess's power; he would have to wait and see how it actually manifested.

"?"

Halfway through sensing it, Maitreya suddenly crossed his arms, looked at Bai Yu with a strange expression, and took a half step back.

Bai Yu's eyes changed slightly as he deactivated his enhanced perception of the "Sixth Sense".

Judging from Maitreya's expression, he had clearly sensed his perception.

Is it that sensitive?

Bai Yu's heart stirred. It seemed that the shrine maiden's power was not simple and was worth studying in depth.

"The leader of the Yellow Springs Cult, Yellow Springs, found me three days ago. He wanted me to pledge allegiance to the Wraiths with him, but I refused. He gave me three days to consider it."

He's probably stalling for time, using this opportunity to let the demon regain its power.

Maitreya continued.

"What should we do now? Does His Highness Maitreya have a plan?"

Bai Yu asked.

Miroku: "To seal the demon, we must go to the underground altar where the volcano in the Land of Swamp is located, seal the demon's soul first, and then return here to suppress the demon's body within the palace's barrier. However, before that, we must wait for the ninjas from other villages. With just the two of us, we probably won't be able to deal with the Yomi Cult and the undead army."

"Your Highness Miroku need not worry about that. Even if the Yellow Springs Cult is as powerful as our Third Hokage, we can still deal with them."

Bai Yu said with great confidence.

"This..." Miroku's expression was somewhat conflicted. After all, Bai Yu and Kushina had come to help out of kindness, and they didn't have any evil aura from the wraiths, so they definitely had nothing to do with the Yellow Spring Cult. But she couldn't completely trust Bai Yu's words, because if something went wrong, the entire world would be destroyed by the undead army, and she didn't dare to gamble.

"How is this possible?!"

Maitreya lost his voice.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yu was slightly taken aback. Why was Maitreya reacting so strongly all of a sudden?

Maitreya: "I cannot witness your death."

Bai Yu: "?"

"Besides possessing the power to seal demons, the priestess also has the ability to foresee the deaths of others. I can see the scene of anyone's death, but I cannot see yours."

Maitreya explained.

"This means I can live forever," Bai Yu said with a smile.

How could a shrine maiden possess such sinister powers?

Prophetic abilities aren't very reliable in the wizarding world. Bai Yu doesn't believe that a witch who isn't even a wizarding apprentice can predict death.

Even if she could foresee death, so what? The future is constantly changing, and different choices will lead to different outcomes.

Just like Bai Yu's arrival in the Naruto world, which has already changed the future timeline a lot.

At the very least, he didn't know just how powerful the enemy would need to unleash the Nine-Tails from Kushina's body.

Many things will not happen.

"what about me?"

Kushina asked curiously.

"It was a very blurry image. I saw a giant nine-tailed fox, but I didn't see your death," Miroku said, puzzled. Both Shiraha and Kushina were beyond her ability to predict death.

“You are special. Since that’s the case, I’m willing to trust you! After all, if this drags on any longer, the number of undead will only increase. Even if more ninjas come, they won’t be able to deal with them.”

“Then let’s set off immediately.” Bai Yu nodded and said, “But we still don’t know the current location of the demon, and how can we guarantee that we can get the demon to the Swamp Country?!”

“Actually, the priestess’s power also comes from the demon. In a sense, I am one with the demon, so it cannot stray too far from me. As long as I go to the Swamp Country to activate the altar, the demon will definitely be forced to come to the altar. Therefore, the demon will do everything in its power to stop me from going to the Swamp Country altar,” Miroku explained.

"If that's the case, then the problem becomes much simpler!" Kushina clapped her fists, silently saying to Kurama, "Kurama, did you hear that?"

"Hmm!" The mini-Nine-Tails emerged from the seal, sat cross-legged, and began refining its chakra. It reminded the user, "If you use breathing techniques, combine your own chakra with the breathing method, don't use my chakra. If you're using a large amount of my chakra, don't use breathing techniques, so your body won't be overloaded. Don't use explosive abilities as regular abilities!"

"Understood!" Kushina replied, mainly because she used the explosive skill "Crimson Dragon Armor" as a regular skill and was used to the feeling of punches landing.

In fact, sometimes she doesn't need to combine breathing techniques and Nine-Tails chakra to fight, as her fighting power is already overflowing, but Kushina still habitually uses both abilities at the same time.

However, after Kurama's reminder, she is now consciously paying attention.

"Then I'll leave it to you two."

Maitreya bowed deeply to the two of them.

"Let's go," Bai Yu nodded.

"Foot Ear." Maitreya summoned Foot Ear.

"Lord Maitreya."

"Ashiho, you and the other samurai stay here and guard the palace. I will go with the two from Konoha to seal the monster. Wait for my return."

"Lord Maitreya..."

Ashiho hesitated, but considering the vast difference between ordinary samurai and ninjas, she ultimately didn't say she wanted to go together, because going would only be a hindrance.

Please make sure you return safely!
