Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

In his fourth-level bloodline, the plant-related instincts are for longevity and becoming stronger, which is fairly normal.

The part belonging to the snake is the biological instinct for reproduction, as well as indifferent emotions.

Soon, Bai Yu found a way to deal with emotional issues in the "Book of Ancient Sorcerers".

[Chapter 123. White Feather VS Third Generation Rai, "Colossus Secret Weapon"! (Large Cup 8000)]

October of Konoha 46.

Northeast border.

At noon, a large pot of food was being cooked inside the Konoha camp.

Because it was wartime, the ninjas usually ate either dry rations or soldier's rations, which were basically simple cold dishes.

They only start cooking when the frequency of war decreases.

Hot food always tastes much better than cold, hard dry food.

The Konoha ninjas, in groups of ten, gathered around a large pot, watching the fragrant meat broth bubbling away, their mouths watering.

A large pot was also set up in the very center of the camp.

Jiraiya, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, Yamanaka Inoichi, and other high-ranking Jonin sat together, chatting and waiting for the meal to be served.

At this point, they were a little further away from them.

Kushina sat listlessly on a small stool, resting her chin on her hand, seemingly lost in thought.

"Dinner's ready!"

The logistics ninjas packed the food into lunchboxes and delivered them to Jiraiya and the others.

"Kushina-sama?"

The logistics ninja approached Kushina and greeted her respectfully, his gaze filled with reverence.

It was this very person who, over the past six months, repeatedly repelled the Third Raikage, stabilizing the situation on the northeastern front and significantly reducing casualties on the Konoha side.

Some time ago, Kushina even injured the Third Raikage, causing the Hidden Cloud Village to refrain from launching an attack on Konoha for more than a month.

All of this is thanks to Kushina!

Although Jiraiya is the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Front, Kushina's current reputation is even slightly higher than Jiraiya's.

After all, even Jiraiya was no match for the Third Raikage.

Kushina was only 21 years old when she was already able to defeat the Third Raikage, who was at the pinnacle of the ninja world.

It's important to know that the Third Raikage was hailed as a perfect ninja possessing both the 'strongest spear' and the 'strongest shield'.

Even the Third Hokage, known as the "Hero of the Ninja," was probably no match for the Third Raikage.

Kushina did something that no one else in the entire Hidden Leaf Village could do.

Whether it's the current "Three Legendary Sannin" or the currently popular "Yellow Flash," they all seem to pale in comparison to Kushina.

"Hmm... Hmm? Oh, thank you." Kushina snapped out of her daze, looked at the fragrant food in front of her, thanked the logistics ninja, took the lunchbox, and casually rummaged through the food with her spoon, looking like she had no appetite.

"Kushina-sama?"

Kushina looked up: "What's wrong?"

"Is my cooking really that bad?"

The logistics ninja couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's delicious! It's just that I haven't had much of an appetite lately." Kushina paused for a moment, but her expression clearly showed that she was distracted.

"Hey! Kushina is missing her little man. No matter how delicious your cooking is, it won't help!"

A spirited voice rang out from behind.

"Lady Tsunade."

The logistics ninja turned around, bowed, and then withdrew.

When Kushina realized that Tsunade had seen through her thoughts, she couldn't help but chide in annoyance, "Tsunade-neechan?!"

"What? Am I wrong?" Tsunade said with a smile, and moved a small stool to sit next to Kushina. "Didn't that kid Shiraha let you know he was safe? He must have something important to do, otherwise he would have come back long ago. There's no danger he could be in."

"I know, it's just that I miss him. Since I met him, we've never been apart for more than a month, it's been more than half a year!"

Kushina pouted.

“Indeed, that kid went too far. When he comes back this time, I’ll break his legs for you, and he’ll be tied to you from now on.” Tsunade teased, “But when he comes back, you guys should be careful. It’s still wartime, so we shouldn’t cause any deaths.”

"Tsunade-neechan? I wouldn't!" Kushina blushed, not expecting Tsunade to make such a suggestive joke.

"Alright, alright! Eat your food and replenish your strength. Once we win the war, you can stick to Bai Yu every day. Don't complain about it then."

Tsunade smiled and gently stroked Kushina's head, as if coaxing a child.

“It won’t bother me!” Kushina retorted.

As she spoke, she scooped up a large mouthful of rice and vegetables with her spoon, stuffed it into her mouth fiercely, and chewed it forcefully.

Seeing that Kushina was eating obediently, Tsunade also filled a large bowl and sat down next to Kushina.

Tsunade was initially very disappointed with the village.

However, when war came, the villagers united once again, and even the increasingly incompetent Third Hokage went to the northwest front to join Minato Namikaze in blocking the attack from Iwagakure.

Tsunade originally thought that aside from visiting Nawaki and Kushina, she would never leave Konoha again, but she could never truly let go of it.

In particular, when she heard that Kushina had gone to the front lines to deal with the Third Raikage, she rushed to the battlefield immediately.

After witnessing Kushina's true fighting strength, she simply laughed and scolded Kushina for hiding her true abilities so well, even deceiving her, her older sister, but she was completely relieved.

After the situation on the Northeast front had completely stabilized, Tsunade's main task was to lead a group of medical ninjas to provide the best possible treatment to the wounded on the front lines.

Tsunade's arrival greatly increased the healing and survival rates of the injured.

Sunagakure in the western frontier is now in a state of decline. If Orochimaru hadn't been short of troops, he probably would have launched a counterattack long ago and recaptured Kikyo Castle.

On four fronts, Konoha simultaneously faced off against the four major ninja villages, and surprisingly, they managed to hold their ground.

Not only were the four great ninja villages surprised, but even the ninjas of Konoha themselves found it hard to believe.

There is no such thing as being able to defeat the enemy simply by working together; the most important thing is always the clash of top-tier combat power.

Apart from Konoha, among the four major ninja villages, only Sunagakure and Kumogakure have concentrated all their forces to launch a fierce attack on Konoha, with almost all of their top combatants already deployed.

The Sand Village deployed nearly five thousand ninjas.

Meanwhile, the Hidden Cloud Village mobilized seven or eight thousand ninjas, more than twice the number of Konoha ninjas on the northeastern front.

If Kushina hadn't suppressed the Third Raikage, a top-tier Kage-level powerhouse, giving Konoha a numerical advantage in top-tier combat power, the situation might have been completely different.

As for Iwagakure, although the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, also mobilized, the Iwagakure forces were roughly equivalent to those of Konoha, numbering around two thousand.

The Hidden Mist Village mobilized a considerable number of its top ninjas, including the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and the Third Mizukage. However, there were only a little over a thousand ninjas. Apart from the initial island landing operation, they did not launch any large-scale attacks on Konoha. The two sides mainly engaged in small-scale skirmishes.

The Third Shinobi World War has once again entered a phase of attrition warfare.

Currently, the situation is not bad for Konoha, as they have already withstood the first wave of attacks from the four major ninja villages.

If either Sunagakure or Kirigakure is defeated, or if Kumogakure or Iwagakure is repelled, this Shinobi World War will take a huge turn for the better.

Konoha may also achieve an unprecedented victory by fighting four opponents alone, resulting in an unparalleled triumph.

......

After lunch, it was time for a nap. Except for the patrolling ninjas, most of the ninjas took turns taking a nap.

Although the Hidden Cloud Village has been quiet for more than a month, it may launch an attack at any time. They have even launched surprise attacks at night several times, so we must make the most of every opportunity to rest.

Kushina returned to her private tent with Shiraha, lay on the bed, and smelled the scent on the pillow.

I haven't slept with Bai Yu for more than half a year, and even his scent has dissipated.

Disappointed, Kushina gradually fell asleep.

"Enemy attack!"

"Kumakuna has launched an attack!"

"Prepare for battle!"

Kushina didn't know how long she had been asleep when she heard a shout in her ear.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and there was a commotion outside the tent.

"The Hidden Cloud Village has sent more people? They're really persistent!" Kushina frowned slightly, quickly got out of bed, and then took out a black, close-fitting suit of armor from her storage scroll. This was the 'Black Dragon Armor', the latest technology developed by the Land of Snow.

In reality, given Kushina's chakra reserves and taijutsu, as well as the quality of the Nine-Tails' chakra, the Black Dragon Armor provided her with extremely limited enhancement.

Having spent a lot of time with Shiraha, Kushina has developed a cautious habit and will not underestimate her opponent just because she is stronger than him.

The fitted black armor perfectly accentuated Kushina's slender figure.

Currently, the Black Dragon Armor prioritizes defense and lightness, unlike the full-body armor of ancient warriors. It mainly focuses on the chest armor for strong defense, but the lower half lacks a skirt armor, leaving Kushina's long and powerful legs completely exposed without protection. After all, speed is her greatest advantage, and wearing leg armor would actually hinder her movement.

As Kushina stepped out of her tent, a Jonin approached her respectfully and said:

"Lady Kushina, Kumogakure has launched another large-scale attack, and the Third Raikage has already entered the fray."

"Yes, I will deal with him." Kushina nodded. After more than half a year of fighting, her personality had become a little more composed, but when facing familiar people, she was still the same as before.

"Yes!"

The Jonin quickly turned and left.

"Kurama," Kushina murmured to herself.

"Understood." Inside the sealed space, the mini Nine-Tails had already begun refining and purifying chakra before Kushina could even speak, and the tacit understanding between the human and the fox was growing stronger.

Kushina ran out of the camp.

Soon, she arrived at a plain.

Nearly ten thousand ninjas began to form ranks on the plain.
