Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

The Third Raikage is hailed as the ninja with the strongest spear and the strongest shield, and is considered perfect in both offense and defense.

Previously, when the Eight-Tails went out of control, the Raikage, in his human form, fought the Eight-Tails for a day and a night, eventually exhausting it. It's astonishing that such a ninja could be at a disadvantage in a battle of strength.

Could the ninja on the other side be a humanoid tailed beast?

The strongest tailed beast, Nine-Tails, transformed?

It's a Konoha ninja! Only then did everyone notice the three people beside the golden figure: Shiraha, Chiho, and Eito.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the power of the Nine-Tails, right?" The Third Raikage, A, exclaimed. "What an amazing young girl. You're probably only around 20 years old. I never imagined Konoha would possess a perfect Jinchūriki for the Nine-Tails. I underestimated the Third Hokage..."

"You go."

The Third Raikage, A, frowned slightly as he looked at the crimson aura that had enveloped Kushina's golden cloak.

"Or rather... is it absolutely necessary to determine a winner?"

"Let's go." Upon hearing this, Kushina left with Shiraha, Chiho, and Eito.

Seeing the four leave, a Jonin from Kumogakure whispered, "Boss?! You just let them go like that? That's the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki. If we joined forces, we should..."

The Third Raikage, A, waved his hand, watching Kushina and the others disappear quickly, and said in a deep voice, "I am not confident of winning against that little girl."

"How is this possible?"

The Cloud Village Jonin were shocked. Even if the Nine-Tails was stronger than the Eight-Tails, they outnumbered the Nine-Tails and could easily take out the other three first, and then gang up on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Once the Nine-Tails is captured, the Hidden Cloud Village will be one step closer to unifying the ninja world.

“She has transcended the realm of ninjas; we cannot defeat her by sheer numbers.” The Third Raikage, A, dispelled his lightning armor, then turned and left: “Let’s go! Back to the village!”

"Back to the village? Boss, aren't we supposed to be attacking Iwagakure?" a Cloud Village Jonin asked instinctively.

"Are you an idiot? Konoha is hiding the perfect Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails. It's one thing if we didn't know before, but now that we know such important information, if we fight Iwagakure again, wouldn't that benefit Konoha?" Before the Third Raikage could answer, a Jonin from Kumogakure replied.

The Third Raikage, A, added, "Share the information with Onoki, and he'll know what to do."

"Yes!"

"Phew~ They didn't chase after us, did they?"

The Englishman activated his Byakugan, but he couldn't see any Cloud Village ninjas within his field of vision. However, the fact that the enemy had spotted them first indicated that there were Cloud Village ninjas whose sensory range exceeded the Byakugan's observation range.

Of course, this is not unusual.

The best sensory ninjas in the entire ninja world are mostly in Konoha.

Because almost everyone in the Hyuga clan with ninja talent can awaken the Byakugan with a little training, the entire clan can be considered sensory ninjas.

If a powerful sensory ninja appeared in another village, they would definitely treat him like a treasure.

It's perfectly normal for a sensory ninja who can travel with the Third Raikage to have stronger sensory abilities than a regular Jonin from the branch family.

"Who would have thought we'd run into the Third Raikage? If it weren't for Kushina, we probably would be..."

The Englishman looked at Kushina with a mixture of fear and relief. The Nine-Tails' power had been feared by the villagers for generations, but once it became an ally, it was incredibly reliable!

Kushina closed her eyes, activated her Kagura Mind's Eye to sense the Third Raikage and the others, and then spoke:

"They've gone quite far, and it seems they're heading back the way they came."

"How is it?" Bai Yu asked as he stepped forward. After all, Kushina had just used the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and then unleashed the "Red Dragon Armor". In the past, when she used two abilities at the same time, she would run out of energy.

"It's alright. After all, it wasn't a long battle, so the exertion was minimal." Kushina knew what Bai Yu was worried about, and shook her head, saying, "The ninja world is truly full of strong individuals. The Third Raikage is much stronger than the rumors suggest."

It seems the information about him fighting the Eight-Tails for a day and a night is true.

I used all my strength from the start, but I didn't expect him to take my attack head-on without getting hurt.

"Hmph, the Eight-Tails is not bad, but it's still not as good as me. Even if you use one-tenth of my power well, you can handle most ninjas!" the mini-Nine-Tails said proudly.

The Third Raikage is indeed strong, because he didn't get injured in his battle with me... What a Versailles-like statement!

However, considering that Kushina had previously beaten up Madara Uchiha, Bai Yu was qualified to say such a thing.

"I'm done!"

The Englishman gave a thumbs up.

Chiho closed her three-tomoe Sharingan and gave Kushina a deep look. The difference in their abilities was too great!

"Bai Yu, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Shiraha remained silent, Kushina couldn't help but ask.

Since the Third Raikage and the others did not pursue her, she released the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Bai Yu came back to his senses and nodded slightly, saying, "I was thinking that we should first head north into the Land of Frost, and then head east to prepare to enter the heart of the Land of Lightning. The Third Raikage and his group happened to be heading west when they encountered us."

Excluding this chance encounter, the Cloud Village ninjas were originally heading west with a clear purpose.

The Third Raikage, along with a dozen or so Jonin, could easily destroy a small country. What was their purpose?

"They probably want to sneak into the Land of Fire and launch a surprise attack, right?" the Englishman asked uncertainly.

“No.” Bai Yu shook his head: “Their direction is clear; they’re heading straight west.”

“The Third Raikage and the others should have gone to the Land of Earth,” Chiho said. “Because the village had a battle with Iwagakure, there are already more than two thousand ninja stationed on the northern border, as well as the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya and the Yellow Flash.”

With a dozen or so Hyuga ninjas stationed at various outposts, even if the Cloud Village's sensory ninjas had stronger perception abilities, they still couldn't sneak into the heart of the Land of Fire undetected.

Therefore, it is very likely that the Third Raikage went west to meet with the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, preparing for the two villages to re-ally against Konoha.

Or... the Third Raikage simply wanted to launch a surprise attack on Iwagakure's stronghold.

"That's pretty much what I was thinking too." Bai Yu nodded.

"But if the Cloud Village ninjas weren't aiming to attack Konoha, but rather Iwagakure, why did they turn back after encountering us?"

Kushina asked, puzzled, only to find that Shiraha, Chiho, and Eito were all looking at her with strange expressions.

Why are you all looking at me like that?

The Englishman said quietly, "Because the Third Raikage originally thought that Onoki of Iwagakure was his biggest enemy, but now he has discovered that there is an even stronger opponent in Konoha, so the primary target has changed."

"Are you talking about me?" Kushina blinked her big eyes, pointing at herself with a puzzled expression.

【Sigh~】In the sealed space, the mini nine-tailed fox covered its face.

"Assuming our speculation is correct, I think the Third Raikage will not only not attack Iwagakure, but may also share Kushina's information with the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, and then join forces with Iwagakure to deal with Konoha."

Bai Yu's expression was solemn, but he secretly chuckled to himself.

This is exactly what I wanted; the more chaotic the better.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Kumogakure launched a surprise attack on Iwagakure. Even if Iwagakure and Kumogakure are temporarily allied now, they are definitely harboring their own ulterior motives and are unlikely to cooperate fully.

After all, only the Third Raikage had actually fought Kushina. Even if Onoki believed the Third Raikage's words, he must have had some suspicions in his heart and would definitely think about preserving his strength during the war.

Each country does not want Konoha to continue being the dominant force in the ninja world, but they also do not want to expend so much effort and resources only to benefit other villages.

If Konoha can withstand the first wave of attacks from various countries, then it will likely be another protracted war of attrition.

"It seems we need to get back to the village as soon as possible and get the information back so the higher-ups can make a decision," Yingren said in a deep voice. The village is already struggling to deal with both Sunagakure and Iwagakure at the same time. If Kumogakure is added to the mix, it will be even more troublesome. Moreover, if Kirigakure, which has been holding back, also gets involved at this time, Konoha will be surrounded on all sides.

"Okay, let's get back to camp as soon as possible."

Chiho nodded.

"Why are you all able to think about things so clearly?" Kushina looked at the three of them with a puzzled expression.

"this......"

The three of them looked at Kushina with some speechlessness.

You can't say she's stupid, after all, in the face of absolute power, no amount of thinking will make a difference.

Although most people do not have absolute power, they must develop in all aspects, both to enhance their strength and to think diligently.

But the person in front of us is clearly an exception.

Despite being the same age as them, he was already able to comment on the strength of the Third Raikage.

Even though it relied on the power of the Nine-Tails, being able to use the Nine-Tails' abilities is already a remarkable achievement.

If the Nine-Tails were transplanted into their bodies, they would be lucky to even survive, let alone utilize its power.

all in all.

Kushina is awesome!

"It's alright. You may not have a brain, but you have me." The miniature nine-tailed fox said calmly inside the sealed space.

"Hmm...hmm!" Kushina nodded, then suddenly realized, "Who are you calling brainless? Humph! I have Shiroha, what do I need a brain for?"

"How can you say something like that so confidently?" Nine-Tailed Fox couldn't help but complain.

"It's no use if you envy me!" Kushina said proudly.

Nine-Tailed Fox: [...]

"Let's go back." Bai Yu nodded.

"I'm tired, I can't walk anymore."

Kushina suddenly said.

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Kushina glance at Chiho, he immediately realized what was going on.

"Come on up."

Shiraha approached Kushina and crouched down.

Kushina jumped lightly and hugged Shiroha's neck tightly.

"I wasn't even wounded this badly on the front lines during World War II!"

The Englishman curled his lip.

Bai Yu glared at Ying Ren. This guy was a repressed flirt. He seemed aloof on the surface, but once you got to know him, he was full of witty banter.

Chiho followed the group silently.
