Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

[Chapter 134. Impure World Reincarnation and the Pseudo-Nine-Tails Jinchuriki]

Konoha Village.

The intelligence has been relayed back.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen's attempt to launch a surprise attack on Konoha's headquarters caused a stir.

Although the village had just defeated Kumogakure and Sunagakure, it had also suffered heavy losses, with many of its elite troops fighting abroad. If the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist succeeded in their sneak attack, it would definitely shake the morale of the Konoha army.

However, no one expected that it was Hakuba who stepped in to repel the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, as well as Might Guy, Konoha's first genin.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, took this matter very seriously. After leading the wounded back to the village, he immediately summoned Might Guy, promoted him to Jonin, and provided him with financial assistance.

At that moment, in the room next to the Hokage's office, four high-ranking officials were having a discussion.

"I never expected Might Dai to possess such strength. I remember that our teacher only proposed the concept of the Eight Gates technique, but Might Dai, a mere genin, actually developed it and mastered it to this level. In a time when combat power is so scarce, the appearance of a ninja like him is a rare piece of good news for the village," Mitokado Homura exclaimed.

"We must improve Might Guy's treatment. At the same time, we should also pay more attention to the training of taijutsu ninjas. I heard that Might Guy has also learned the Eight Gates."

Xiaochun turned to her room.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "I have promoted him to Jonin. The most important thing for training taijutsu is resources, and the village will continue to support him in this regard."

“Well, that should be enough. The village has suffered too much in the past few years, especially in terms of high-end combat power…” Mitokado Yan sighed, “The departure of Kushina and Shiraha has dealt a huge blow to the village’s prestige.”

"This is my dereliction of duty." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked somewhat guilty.

Xiaochun, who switched dorm rooms: "This is not your responsibility."

Seeing that the three were about to steer the conversation back to the Sakumo incident, Danzo said, "Instead of lamenting here, we should come up with a practical solution! Isn't Orochimaru Yagami's teacher? Once the war is over, let Orochimaru succeed as the Fourth Hokage as soon as possible, and then we can maintain a friendly relationship with Yagami. Besides, with Tsunade's connections, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki won't turn against Konoha."

Mitokado Homura said, "This is indeed a feasible method. On the western front, it was thanks to Orochimaru who took charge of the overall situation that we were able to hold off the Sunagakure army for three years under extremely unfavorable circumstances and even recapture Kikyo Castle. He is indeed the only suitable candidate for the Fourth Hokage. Hiruzen, what do you think?"

“Orochimaru is indeed capable of shouldering great responsibilities.” Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, but he noticed Danzo’s change in expression and hesitated.

Over the years, Orochimaru had secretly conducted many deals with Danzo behind his back, but he kept them all from the Third Hokage, which worried him greatly.

Danzo was a very reliable teammate and advisor to the Hokage.

However, after decades of living together, Hiruzen Sarutobi understood Danzo better than anyone else.

He could be a candidate to assist the Hokage, but he is not suitable to be the Hokage. He is very capable, but his ambition is even stronger, and his ability cannot match his ambition.

If Konoha falls into Danzo's hands, it will likely go to extremes.

Orochimaru and Danzo's exchange of interests has crossed Hiruzen Sarutobi's bottom line.

Of course, Orochimaru was still Hiruzen Sarutobi's favorite candidate for the Fourth Hokage, but before that, Danzo and Orochimaru needed to be warned.

Otherwise, if Danzo's power is not only not weakened but even increased after Orochimaru takes over, Orochimaru might one day be sidelined by Danzo, which is a situation that Hiruzen Sarutobi absolutely cannot allow to happen.

After the Sakumo incident and the departure of Hakuba and Kushina, even though Konoha won the Third Shinobi World War, it was severely weakened and absolutely could not withstand any more of Danzo's machinations.

"Then the problem now is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki," Danzo suddenly said.

"You're trying to take advantage of Kushina?" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, and Danzo felt a chill run down his spine.

"Of course not. Kushina has now mastered the power of the Nine-Tails, and there are very few ninjas in the entire ninja world who can fight her head-on."

Hiruzen, if you were ten years younger, you might be able to fight her. But in Konoha now, no one is a match for Kushina.

To defeat a Jinchūriki, sealing techniques are key, but Kushina possesses all the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.

Even the Shinigami mask used to unleash the 'Reaper Death Seal' was taken by Kushina; now, no one can afford to mess with her.

Danzo said in a deep voice.

He wouldn't be so foolish as to cause trouble for Kushina until 'A' has fully grown up.

Xiaochun, who was turning over a new room, asked, "Then what do you mean by that?"

"Konoha, as the strongest ninja village, has only ever had the Nine-Tails as its tailed beast. Now that it has lost the Nine-Tails, it has lost an important deterrent against other villages. Although we cannot retrieve the Nine-Tails, we can create a pseudo-Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!" Danzo explained.

“A pseudo-Jinchūriki?!” Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback upon hearing this: “Kushina probably won’t easily hand over the Nine-Tails’ chakra, even if it’s just a part of it. This path won’t work.”

“If we were to make a deal, they would probably try to raise the price and make us pay a huge price,” Mitomon Homura shook his head.

"Who said that only Kushina possessed the Nine-Tails' chakra?" Danzo sneered. "Don't forget, just like Ginkaku, Kinkaku and Ginkaku did. They gained control of the Nine-Tails' power and achieved partial tailed beast transformation by consuming its chakra and flesh. Otherwise, with Master's strength, how could he have died at their hands?"

"Golden Horn? Silver Horn?!" Koharu Utatane asked, "Danzo, what do you mean? Golden Horn and Silver Horn have been dead for decades. Is there any way to find them and extract the Nine-Tails' chakra?"

"Danzo, you!" Hiruzen Sarutobi was startled, then realized what Danzo meant.

Danzo said in a deep voice, "Yes, it's exactly what you think, the Impure World Reincarnation Technique! A technique that can revive the dead. As long as we find the body tissues of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, we can revive them and then extract the Nine-Tails' chakra from their bodies."

"Reanimation Jutsu?!" Mitokado Homura was stunned.

Konoha has many forbidden techniques, most of which were left by their teacher, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. Some of these forbidden techniques are unfinished. Since he and Koharu Utatane took charge of logistics, they haven't been on the battlefield. Over the years, their strength has probably degenerated to the level of an ordinary Jonin. So even if they had the reading privileges, they hadn't seen most of Konoha's forbidden techniques.

Hiruzen Sarutobi explained, "This technique is a forbidden interdimensional summoning technique developed by our teacher. It can summon the souls of ninjas who have long since died back to the human world and revive them in physical form."

However, this technique requires extracting a certain amount of the deceased's body tissue, using the body of a living person as a container for the deceased's soul, allowing the deceased's soul to attach to the container, and covering the living person's body with dust, thus transforming it into the appearance of the deceased in life, and the reincarnated person is controlled by the caster.

Because the teacher felt that this technique would desecrate the souls of the dead, he stopped further research when it was about to be completed and sealed it away as a forbidden technique. Even the Book of Seals does not record this forbidden technique.

Currently, only Danzo and I in Konoha know of this forbidden technique.

Tsurugi Koharu's face turned cold. If she were to be resurrected after her death and then controlled by someone, that feeling would probably be worse than death.

"So what? Kinkaku and Ginkaku are enemies, not our allies. As for the living sacrifices, we can use death row inmates and spies from enemy countries." Danzo said nonchalantly. If there weren't enough sacrifices, he was capable of using Root's subordinates as sacrifices, as long as he didn't use members from ninja clans.

"This forbidden technique is not yet complete, and there may be great hidden dangers." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked hesitant.

Danzo chuckled inwardly, knowing that Hiruzen's behavior meant he had already accepted his proposal, but was still clinging to his hypocritical sense of justice. He continued:

"The teacher has already completed eight or nine tenths of this technique. Is there really no ninja in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who can fully develop this technique? As long as this technique is completely completed, we can eliminate the hidden dangers."

As for collecting the body tissues of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, leave that to Root. I guarantee it will be done flawlessly, and Kumogakure won't discover that Konoha was behind it.

"Even so, what about the Jinchuriki?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi then asked.

"There are so many members of the Uzumaki clan scattered throughout the ninja world, we're bound to find them eventually. The reason they didn't come to Konoha before was because the village didn't conduct a large-scale search. Now that Kushina is rebuilding the Uzumaki clan, it's perfect that we help them find the Uzumaki clan members. By absorbing some of the Nine-Tails' chakra and becoming a pseudo-Jinchūriki, it will be easier for them to control the Nine-Tails' power."

Danzodo.

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "If we do this, what about Kushina...?"

“As long as the other party stays in Konoha voluntarily, there is nothing wrong with Kushina being the head of the Uzumaki clan.”

Danzo's unwavering statement:

"Do you want the events of the last meeting to happen again, Hiruzen? Kushina and Shiraha were able to publicly declare their intention to leave Konoha and take you, the Third Hokage, seriously?"

Even with Orochimaru's influence, no one can guarantee that they won't make even more outrageous demands in the future. Therefore, the alliance with Konoha is only because the Uzumaki clan needs time to recover.

It's not impossible that they could regain their independence and establish the Land of Whirlpools in the future.

Ultimately, only personal strength matters.

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."

Danzo continued, "With the Impure World Reincarnation technique, we can even summon the First Hokage, our teacher, and Lady Mito. In this way, the initiative will be back in our hands. Only in this way can the Leaf Village truly live up to its name as the strongest ninja village in the ninja world, and even if another ninja world war breaks out in the future, we will not need to ask outsiders for help."

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a long time, then said softly:

"This matter must be carried out in secret."

[Chapter 135 The Rise of the Land of Whirlpools (Part 135)]

Ruins of the Land of Whirlpools.

Driven by money and power, the Uzumaki clan's new base was quickly established within a few months, with a large complex of wooden buildings situated there.

In the very center of the clan's territory stands a building over thirty meters tall, which serves as the office building for the Whirlpool Clan to handle their affairs.

In the top-floor office, Kushina was hunched over her desk, pen in hand, the tip resting on a document, occasionally poking it forward, looking drowsy.

The mini-Nine-Tails escaped from the sealed space, perched on the desk, and tapped it with its forelegs: "Hey! Kushina, if you finish something this simple sooner, you can rest, right? Stop slacking off!"

Kushina suddenly woke up, looking distressed, and said, "But I'm just not good at these things! If I were to fight, I definitely wouldn't slack off."

"Why is it so hard to use your brain? How will you be a good clan leader if you keep acting like this? When you become king, you'll have to handle far more affairs than this!"

Mini Nine-Tailed Fox helplessly shrugged.

Kushina retorted, "Then I'll just hire a few more secretaries."

"Shouldn't you handle important matters yourself?" Mini Nine-Tailed Fox retorted.

"Isn't there still Shiraha?" Kushina was clearly somewhat unconvinced.

"That brat is busy dealing with external affairs every day, how can he have time to help you with documents? Don't try to slack off, hurry up and finish so we can cultivate together!" Nine-Tails said irritably, "Documents that can be reviewed in two or three hours have taken you all afternoon to dawdle!"

"Fine." Kushina pouted, looking just like a child being forced to do homework by their parents.

She had been reviewing documents for less than ten minutes when she suddenly looked up at Nine-Tailed Fox, her face beaming with joy, and said:

"Nine Lama, you said Bai Yu is so smart, so my future children with him will definitely be smart too, right? When the children grow up... 12 years old... 6 years old! When they are 6 years old, I can pass the position of clan leader to them, and then I won't have to worry about these things every day, right?"

"You really have the nerve to make a child do this kind of thing every day," Mini Nine-Tailed Fox couldn't help but complain. "Have you ever thought that if your child were as stupid and lazy as you, would you both be slacking off together?"

Kushina: (╥﹏╥)

Mini Nine-Tailed Fox: (﹁﹁)

Kushina: "Then I'll have another one!"

Mini Nine-Tailed Fox: "One is as stupid as you, and the other is as irritable as you."

Kushina: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! No way, I'll have three! Four!"

Mini Nine-Tailed Fox: "You're really going all out to be lazy... It takes 10 months for a human to conceive a child. If you don't give birth to twins directly, you won't be able to fight for at least three or four years, and even your cultivation will be affected."

Kushina: "..."

Mini Nine-Tailed Fox said, "Just be patient and study hard. If Bai Yu is like you, you'll be very busy. He has to deal with people you can't get along with every day, so he's much busier than you."

Now that the Uzumaki clan is newly established, it needs to consider the surrounding situation and earn more funds. Your money is not enough to support the reconstruction of the Land of Whirlpools.

Although we are very strong now, we have no problem facing any of the five major powers.

However, once the survivors of the Land of Whirlpools gradually return, there will be more ordinary people, and more factors to consider.

In many situations, we cannot use violence indiscriminately to solve problems.
