Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

"You're smart enough to know what's good for you. Let's have a couple of drinks together after I finish my classes this afternoon!" Nawaki said happily. "Kushina shouldn't stop you from coming home late, right?"

"How could that be? You don't know my family's imperial status. Would Kushina dare to interfere with these things? I'd just go up there and..."

Seeing the strange smile suddenly appear on Rope Tree's face, Bai Yu realized what was going on and changed his words, saying, "My going up there was just a standard request for instructions!"

As he spoke, Bai Yu turned around.

Not far behind him was Kushina, who had just asked for leave for Nawaki.

"Right, Kushina? How about we grab a drink tonight?"

Bai Yu remembered that he had come with Kushina and almost got into trouble.

"You two go ahead and drink. I'm going to talk to Tsunade tonight and sleep with her. I won't be back." Kushina said, "Shiroha, you're not going to stay out all night, are you?"

"How could that be? Am I that kind of person?" Bai Yu waved his hands repeatedly.

"Okay." Kushina nodded. "Nawaki-nii, I'm going now."

"Goodbye." Nawaki waved to Kushina, then nudged Shiraha's chest with his elbow and teased, "Looks like you and Kushina have a pretty stable relationship."

"Okay." Bai Yu said without changing his expression, then changed the subject and said, "Let's go to the hospital directly."

"What are you going to the hospital for?" Rope Tree was taken aback by the question, then suddenly realized, "Could it be...?"

Bai Yu nodded: "Although the technique isn't fully mature yet, it's time to focus on training your legs first, let them recover first. I've already asked Kushina to help you get a two-month leave!"

"Bai Yu... I really can..." Nawaki looked incredulous. He had thought he had given up hope, but when he heard Bai Yu's affirmative answer, he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

"Let's go."

Bai Yu patted Nawaki on the shoulder.

[Chapter 127. The Immortal Techniques of the Wet Bone Forest! (Two-in-One)]

Bai Yu and Nawaki left the ninja academy and headed towards Konoha Hospital.

When the two arrived at the third floor of Konoha Hospital, someone that Bai Yu hadn't seen in a long time appeared.

She had fair skin, delicate features, short brown hair, and round-framed glasses that almost covered half her face. She looked to be about twenty years old and wore a white robe similar to a shrine maiden's outfit.

Yakushi Nono.

Just like when we first met, more than a decade has passed. She should be around 30 years old now, but time has not left any marks on her.

When Bai Yu went to the medical training course, she should have just come of age.

She looks like she's grown from 16 to 20 years old.

Girly.

This word perfectly describes Yakushi Nono's state.

"Team Leader Nono, it's been a long time."

Bai Yu stepped forward and said that ever since he "implicated" Nono into the Root, Nono had left the Medical Squad, and the two had hardly seen each other.

By the time Shiraha was able to help her, Nono had already left the Anbu and was now the director of the Konoha Welfare Institute.

Based on Shiraha's previous impression of Nono, although she seemed to have a harmless, introverted, and gentle personality, she was not as simple as she appeared, but was essentially a very good person.

If I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be 'pink on the outside, black on the inside, white on the outside.'

"Bai Yu-kun, I'm no longer part of the medical team. I'm just here to see if there's anything I can do to help."

Nonou narrowed her eyes into crescent shapes and smiled as she spoke.

“Same here, you’ve always been the team leader in my heart.” Bai Yu nodded. “Go in.”

"Ah."

Nawaki lay down on the operating table in the room, surrounded by Jonin from the medical team.

However, apart from Shiraha, all the medical ninjas, including Tsunade, Minami, and Nono, are women.

"Take your pants off!"

Seeing that Nawaki had been lying still for a long time, Tsunade said irritably.

"Huh?" Rope Tree was taken aback.

"What? It's not like I'm asking you to take your whole body off."

Bai Yu said with a smile.

"Of course I know," Rope Tree muttered softly, her face slightly flushed.

"What kind of behavior is this, going on and on like that? We saw it all when we were kids!"

Seeing that Nawaki's face was flushed, Tsunade teased him.

Hearing Bai Yu suggest that she could regenerate Rope Tree's legs and successfully transplant them, she was overjoyed.

"Sister?! What nonsense are you talking about!"

The female ninjas around her were trying not to laugh. Nawaki blushed and took off her trousers before lying back down.

He closed his eyes and remained motionless, appearing completely submissive.

"How about I do it?" Seeing Nawaki's resigned look, Shiraha smiled and took the instrument. He then removed the prosthetic leg from Nawaki's leg, transferred chakra into it, and conducted a thorough examination.

"How about it?"

When Bai Yu stopped transmitting chakra, Tsunade couldn't help but step forward and ask.

“Shu’s physical development is normal, but as you know, at his age, his bones are fully developed, and it is very difficult for severed limbs to regenerate. We must cultivate a pair of legs for him in full proportion.”

Bai Yu replied.

"What do you mean?" Tsunade had read Bai Yu's information on limb regeneration and had a general idea, but she still wanted to confirm it with Bai Yu. She didn't know when it started, but in matters of human cell experiments, Tsunade had come to trust Bai Yu's judgment more.

"My original plan was to combine Nawaki's cells with the First Hokage's cells to cultivate legs. This way, after Nawaki regained his legs, he might be able to awaken the First Hokage's Wood Release. When Orochimaru and I achieved initial success, we got stuck at this step. Even though the success rate was increased to more than 50%, the probability of rejection was still very high."

Bai Yu explained.

"In recent years, I have made changes, using mainly Nawaki cells and adding a small amount of First Generation cells with lower cell activity. This will greatly increase the success rate, but the possibility of directly awakening Wood Release is very low. If we conduct Wood Release experiments in the future, there may be a chance to awaken Wood Release."

After saying that, Bai Yu looked at Nawaki: "What do you think?"

"That's enough. Even if I awaken Wood Release, I'm afraid it will be difficult to become as powerful as Grandpa's Wood Release. And I believe that even without Wood Release, I can still become a powerful ninja!"

Rope Tree affirmed that he was very grateful to Bai Yu for being able to research limb regeneration technology and for thinking of helping him grow legs as soon as possible. Even among good friends, it was extremely rare for someone to do something like that.

"Alright! We'll proceed with Plan One. We'll start by cultivating your legs. That way, the chance of rejection is only about 3%, making failure almost impossible."

Bai Yu nodded, took out a glass syringe, drew blood from Nawaki, and then handed it to Tsunade.

"Tsunade-sensei, I'll leave the cell activity test to you. I need to start cultivating legs for Nawaki first."

"Yes! Leave it to me!" Tsunade patted her trembling chest.

"I'll discuss the details with everyone after I have a plan," Bai Yu said to the other medical ninjas, taking out scrolls from his robes and handing one to each of them.

Although he had complete mastery of the technology, others could quickly master the first stage of the technology as well.

For Bai Yu, the simple regeneration of severed limbs was nothing special.

Teaching these medical Jonin who were close to him in the past was also a way to ensure they would receive better treatment in Konoha in the future.

These people are all quite skilled in medical ninjutsu. If there is an opportunity to recruit them all to the Land of Whirlpools in the future, it would be a good way to integrate them into our own society.

Revealing some technology now can be considered a form of investment.

The research on the cells of the Wood Spirit incarnation and the cells of the white creatures is what Bai Yu values ​​most.

After a thorough examination of the rope tree, the group left the operating room.

Bai Yu planned to go back and conduct experiments. If the cells of the Rope Tree could withstand the Wood Spirit Incarnation or the cells of the White Creature, he wouldn't hesitate to use them.

Rope Tree is right.

Even with a talent spell like "Wood Spirit Avatar," which is derived from a fourth-level bloodline, the avatar created cannot fully unleash the true power of Wood Release.

The truly powerful one wasn't Wood Release, but the First Hokage.

Of course, it is undeniable that Wood Release does have a strong restrictive ability, especially effective against Tailed Beasts.

......

As Bai Yu went downstairs, he noticed Nono U ahead and quickly caught up with her.

"Team Leader Nono."

"I told you not to call me team leader anymore." Nono looked up at Shiraha, her height only reaching Shiraha's chest.

Bai Yu: "A team leader is a team leader. What else should we call him?"

Nonou: "I wouldn't mind if you called me 'older sister'."

Bai Yu smiled slightly: "I heard that you are now the director of the welfare home."

Nono nodded, a hint of weariness in her eyes: "Having witnessed the darkness of the ninja world, I feel that children are more innocent, so I want to become family to those orphans and help them as much as possible."

"The funds must be tight, right? After all, the village went through this great war, and the amount of compensation to be distributed must be a lot. I heard that you also adopted war orphans from other villages, so the village probably won't allocate too much funds to the welfare home."

As he spoke, Bai Yu took out a storage scroll from his pocket and handed it to Nonou.

"Here is one million taels of silver. Consider it my donation to the welfare home to improve the lives of those children."

"This..." Nono hesitated, "I can't just take so much money from you for no reason. What do you want me to do?"

"This is simply to thank you for taking care of me in the medical class. Besides, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have joined the Root. In a way, I also bear some responsibility for this." Bai Yu said with a smile, "Am I just a person with strong ulterior motives? Can't I just be someone who is simply kind-hearted?"

“I’m usually good at judging people. You’ve always been a very goal-oriented child, and you’re very good at disguising yourself. When I heard that you killed a Root ninja and stood in front of the Third Hokage to prevent him from getting close to Kushina, I wasn’t surprised at all,” Nono said earnestly. Then she changed the subject: “However, I still want to thank you for your love for the children. Shiraha-kun is still the same as before, a good kid!”

“I agree with that. I’ve always been a good person, both inside and out,” Bai Yu said with a smile. Before leaving, he added, “If you encounter any trouble you can’t solve, you can come to me. Even if I’m not in Konoha, I can still help you. As for how to find me, someone as smart as you will definitely have a way.”

After saying that, Bai Yu turned and left, waving to Nonou with his back turned.

Nonou gripped the scroll tightly, a genuine smile spreading across her face. Her eyes narrowed into crescent shapes as she murmured, "Shiraha-kun is indeed a good person, both inside and out."

......

In the vast, dense forest.
