Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Of course, this applies to ordinary wizards.

At this moment, within Bai Yu's soul space, there were three orbs of light emitting strange glow. These three orbs were his innate spells, which were also solid models automatically constructed by his will runes after his advancement. As long as Bai Yu activated his mental power and mana, these three innate spells would be activated instantly, without him having to temporarily construct spell models with his will runes as he would with normal spells.

Now, if Bai Yu wants to advance, what he needs to do is materialize it, wrap the three 'light orbs' with his mental power, first vaporize them, then liquefy them, and finally crystallize them with his mental power to form a mental power model crystal.

This is a clear distinction between the wizard and sorcerer professions.

Once a level one warlock's mental energy crystallizes, as long as their bloodline purity is high enough, they have a high probability of successfully advancing to the next level. After advancing, they will directly gain innate spells based on their bloodline.

A level one wizard needs to completely envelop the first level one talent spell model in a crystal formed by mental energy before using will runes to construct a level two spell model.

Only by solidifying this level two spell model can a wizard advance to level two. Afterward, the process of materializing mental power is repeated to form a second crystal, which completely envelops the level two talent spell model. Then, a level three spell model is constructed using will runes.

The biggest advantage of bloodline sorcerers over wizards is that they can directly acquire innate spells based on their bloodline, saving them the process of learning and then solidifying them.

While a formal wizard can live for hundreds of years, this lifespan is insufficient compared to the lengthy process of materializing spiritual power and the tedious process of learning spells and building models.

Therefore, many wizards who are short of lifespan before their advancement will try to modify their bodies to live as long as possible.

Many wizards, after undergoing multiple modifications, gradually transcend the realm of humanity, becoming not significantly different from bloodline sorcerers. The only difference is that wizards, even when acquiring the bloodline of extraordinary beings, often don't experience the constraints of that bloodline. Of course, without the drawbacks of bloodline sorcerers, the full benefits are also difficult to enjoy.

Under normal circumstances, even a wizard from a top-tier powerful organization would find it difficult to create a level four "Star Wizard" even with massive resources.

On the one hand, powerful and talented wizards are unwilling to solidify weak spells into innate spells, while powerful spells require too long to learn.

The most crucial point is that even the weakest fourth-level spell is extremely complex for a third-level wizard.

Furthermore, it requires even more time and effort to synthesize mental energy, magical energy, and other resources into a single point.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few level four wizards.

If there were a level 4 bloodline source to choose from, probably 99% of low-level wizards would switch to bloodline sorcery.

Even if a level four bloodline source can only advance to level three, it can still provide at least several thousand years of lifespan.

A normal level three wizard, no matter how they are modified, has a soul limit of one thousand years. Even if they become neither human nor ghost, a level three wizard can never live for more than one thousand years. As for whether resurrecting in a fragmented way with a broken soul fragment can be considered resurrection, that remains to be discussed.

Time is the wizard's greatest enemy!

In the vast universe, to learn infinite knowledge in a limited amount of time, one must choose what is most useful to oneself at the moment.

Because Bai Yu possesses three innate spells, he requires a stronger mental energy model crystal to withstand them. Therefore, his advancement requirements are higher than those of lower-level bloodline sorcerers, especially since he is learning the "Advanced Sorcerer Meditation Method" from the "Ancient Sorcerer's Book".

Of course, the high requirements for promotion are relative, because what bears the brunt of these three talent spells is mainly his level four bloodline power.

Unless it's a major bottleneck to advancing to level four, the requirements for promotion won't be ridiculously high.

Based on Bai Yu's fourth-level bloodline source, "World Tree Companion Python," he can now derive two derivative meditation methods from his "Advanced Sorcerer Meditation Method": the "World Tree Meditation Method," which leans towards the plant element, and the "Companion Python Meditation Method," which leans towards the biological element. Both derivative meditation methods use him as their bloodline source and can be cultivated to the peak of the third level.

However, after reaching the peak of level three, Bai Yu needs to advance to level four himself and obtain the power of the bloodline source.

This is also a backup plan that Bai Yu left for those with whom he had close relationships.

If his women, children, or subordinates reach the end of their wizarding path, he, as the source of his bloodline, can provide two meditation methods that can be cultivated to the third level.

Moreover, if he breaks through the bloodline shackles, the path for those who follow will be easier.

In a sense, it can be said that when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs benefit from it.

......

Bai Yu wandered around the Wet Bone Forest, collecting some plants with strange energy fields, and scraping a lot of bodily fluids from some small slugs.

It must be said that the Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest must have a very high level of attainment in the realm of the soul.

Each little slug seems to have its own independent consciousness and can communicate with Bai Yu.

When he was scraping the fluid from the slug, the other person told him to be gentle, and with that gentle, childlike voice, anyone who didn't know better would think Bai Yu was bullying a child.

When Bai Yu returned to the Wood Spirit Avatar with satisfaction, he found that energy particles around the Wood Spirit Avatar were continuously entering his body.

At this moment, the energy field emitted by the Wood Spirit incarnation changed.

Through the spiral-shaped mask, one can see dark green eyeshadow around the eyelids of the Wood Spirit incarnation.

At the same time, the body of the Wood Spirit avatar began to gradually exude a semi-transparent, viscous liquid, resembling sweat.

"To have completed the first stage of immortal arts cultivation so quickly, what a genius!"

The slug couldn't help but sigh.

The Wood Spirit avatar suddenly opened its tightly closed eyes.

He began to examine his own body.

To Bai Yu's astonishment, the Wood Spirit avatar flipped its arm in reverse, making it look like a rubber man with no bones at all.

Immediately afterwards, the chakra around the Wood Spirit Avatar surged out, and its body returned to normal. The powerful Sage Chakra gave Bai Yu a jolt. Although the total amount was not strong, the intensity and quality were extremely high.

As his main body's level increases, his Wood Spirit incarnation will definitely become stronger and stronger. Perhaps one day he will be able to unleash Wood Release to a level comparable to, or even surpass, that of the First Hokage.

"As it is now, it's somewhat convincing to pretend to be the First Hokage. I wonder what Kakuzu's reaction will be when he sees the Kodama incarnation."

Bai Yu thought to himself that he was currently planning to return to the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools with Kushina to gather the remaining people of the Uzumaki clan.

As for the Kodama incarnation, he should first meet up with Kakuzu to form a part-time... bounty hunter team, and they can also gather intelligence along the way.

The second Wood Spirit incarnation, Bai Yu, has not yet been figured out how to use it.

"Try using Sage Mode and ninjutsu," the slug whispered a suggestion.

"Yes!" The Wood Spirit avatar nodded, then clapped his hands together, forming a '巳' seal.

'Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!'

Rumble!

The ground trembled slightly, and huge trees burst forth from the soil as if they were alive, growing rapidly and soon turning this relatively open area into a lush, dense forest.

The tree trunks summoned by the Wood Spirit avatar danced continuously in this space under his control, clearly demonstrating their ability to flexibly deal with enemies.

boom!

Bai Yu punched the tree trunk with all his might, his fist sinking deep into the trunk, but the tree trunk was not broken as a result.

boom!

boom!

boom!

As Bai Yu gradually used more chakra, more and more tree trunks were blasted apart, but they quickly regenerated, making them impossible to destroy or eradicate completely.

"This defense is too strong!" Bai Yu was shocked. Although he did not use his full strength or the "Crimson Dragon Calamity", his taijutsu, which he used with his 7+ physique and chakra, was something that even an ordinary Jonin could not withstand.

A normal Jonin would probably have no chance against Wood Release with this level of defense; they would likely find it very difficult to even break through its defenses.

A wide-range offensive ninjutsu is needed to deal with this level of Wood Release.

Most film stars probably couldn't do that.

I never expected that the Sage Mode and Wood Release Ninjutsu of Shikkotsu Forest would be so compatible.

"Once the Wood Spirit incarnation is fully familiar with the immortal arts..."

"Oh? The same Wood Release as Hashirama? Although much weaker than him, it is indeed Wood Release." The slug's surprised voice rang out, looking down at the Wood Spirit avatar, and asked, "Are you willing to sign a contract with our Shikkotsu Forest?"

"Of course I'm willing, thank you Slug Immortal," the Wood Spirit avatar said respectfully.

The slug nodded slightly and spat out a huge scroll from its mouth.

The Kodama incarnation opened the scroll, and the two most recent names were Tsunade and Hashirama Senju.

After leaving his name, the Wood Spirit returned the scroll to the slug.

"If you want to fully learn and master the Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest, it will take at least another month. For now, you should stay here and train diligently," the slug reminded him.

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer," Bai Yu said.

'The most important goal has been achieved. Now we can take advantage of the Wood Spirit's incarnation cultivating Immortal Mode in the Wet Bone Forest to study the slug's cells.'

Although he had only recently advanced to the next level and didn't need to rush into considering the third bloodline fusion, Bai Yu discovered after arriving at the Wet Bone Forest that the slug's abilities were far stronger than he had imagined.

Bai Yu had underestimated slugs before.

The slug nodded: "I'll see you out."

Bang!

A cloud of smoke rose.

The next second, Shiraha appeared on the roof of the apartment building where Tsunade lived.

Having identified the direction, Bai Yu ran towards West Street.

After helping Nawaki re-transplant his legs, he also transplanted a new arm for his former mentor, Jonin Oshima Shuichi. I wonder how it will turn out; I'll go check it out.

Today is also the day of the original Class 12's reunion dinner. It's been a long time since I've seen Yingren and Qianhui.

10132303

[Chapter 129. That Man]

Restaurant.

When Shiraha pushed open the door to enter the room, Oshima Shuichi, Chiho, and Eito had already arrived.

"Why are you here so early? There's still an hour until the agreed time!" Bai Yu was taken aback.

"Since you're treating us, we definitely have to arrive early!"

The Englishman said with a smile.

"It's like you're saying that every time we eat out, I'm the one who pays."

Bai Yu complained as he took off his shoes.

“This time is different. It’s a rare reunion of Class Twelve. There may not be many more opportunities like this in the future. Aren’t you going to leave with your clan leader soon?” Yingren teased, but a hint of sadness could be felt in his eyes.

"You're already feeling sentimental before you've even had a sip?" Bai Yu shook his head and chuckled, then walked over to Oshima Shuichi's side and said, "Shuichi-sensei, you seem to be recovering very well."

"Thanks to your help, otherwise I might have had to work in the logistics department until retirement. I'd like to toast you!"

Shuichi Oshima raised his glass, marveling at how quickly time had passed. He had never imagined that Shiraha, who had seemed the most ordinary member of the team back then, would achieve such success.

Fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. No one could have imagined that Sakumo would commit suicide, just as no one could have imagined that Shiraha and Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, would leave Konoha to rebuild the Uzumaki clan.
