Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

"Hmph! We'll see." Orochimaru sneered.

"it is good."

Bai Yu nodded, suddenly feeling that they were like two childish kids sulking.

"Orochimaru-sensei, take care."

As he spoke, Bai Yu's expression turned serious, and he reached out his hand towards Orochimaru.

Orochimaru frowned slightly, but finally extended his hand and shook hands with Shiraha.

......

East of the Land of Fire.

A group of people arrived on the plains in the southern part of the Land of Grass, bordering the Land of Fire.

Dozens of Hidden Mist ninjas escorted Nohara Rin towards Konoha.

Due to Orochimaru's defection, Minato Namikaze and Danzo, as the only two popular candidates for the Fourth Hokage, went to the Fire Capital to pay homage to the Daimyo and will remain there for some time.

After Kakashi became a Jonin, he led a team on his own, while Rin Nohara, who was promoted to Chunin after the last mission, remained in Kakashi's team.

While they were on their way to Kirigakure to carry out a mission, Nohara Rin was captured by Kirigakure ninjas. Before Kakashi could send his distress call back to Konoha, the Kirigakure ninjas took Nohara Rin on a detour and secretly infiltrated the Land of Grass north of the Land of Fire, heading straight for Konoha. Less than half a day had passed since Kakashi sent his distress call.

At this moment, Kakashi was using Earth Release, hanging underground not far behind the group.

boom--!

A huge explosion rang out.

Kakashi, who was hiding underground, was discovered by the Hidden Mist Ninja, who quickly launched an attack on him, detonating a large number of explosive tags at the same spot.

Fortunately, Kakashi reacted quickly and left the underground area immediately to dodge, but as soon as he was exposed, he was surrounded by dozens of Hidden Mist ninja.

"An enemy! The plan must not be exposed, kill him!"

laugh!

Kakashi's White Fang short sword emitted a faint white light. His breathing technique and lightning chakra erupted instantly. A cross-shaped blade of light flashed, and a Kirigakure Jonin who was attacking Kakashi first screamed as a huge wound appeared on his chest, blood gushing out.

"Damn it!" Kakashi severely injured the Jonin with one blow, but he was not happy at all. Even with his explosive breathing technique, his swordsmanship was still some distance from Sakumo's. If Sakumo had swung that slash, the Kirigakure Jonin would not have been severely injured, but would have been killed on the spot.

"This is the swordsmanship of Konoha's White Fang?! Don't engage him in close combat, use ninjutsu!"

The other Hidden Mist Jonin were all stunned by Kakashi's terrifying slash.

Even in death, the White Fang of Konoha's reputation still intimidates many ninjas.

With the order from the Kirigakure Jonin, the Chunin who were originally attacking Kakashi quickly created distance and used ninjutsu and ninja tools to launch mid-to-close range attacks on him.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

"Water Release: Water Pillar!"

"Water Release: Water Tornado!"

Kakashi used his left eye's double-tomoe Sharingan to see the movements of the Hidden Mist ninjas through his powerful dynamic vision. Because the Sharingan was not compatible with his body, it consumed a lot of his energy, so he could not fight for long. Therefore, Kakashi wanted to finish the battle quickly from the beginning.

He held a knife in his left hand and his right hand hanging down. A large amount of lightning chakra gathered in his right palm, and silvery-white arcs of electricity burst forth, as if countless birds were emitting sharp cries.

"Chidori!"

With the help of powerful Lightning Release chakra, Kakashi's speed increased rapidly. In a few flashes, he closed in and killed a Kirigakure Jonin, rescued Nohara Rin, and used his ninja sword to cut the ropes binding her.

"Huff... Huff... Lin... You find a chance to escape, I'll hold them off!"

Kakashi tried to calm himself, but he kept panting heavily.

Both breathing techniques and the Hatake-ryu swordsmanship are explosive skills, and the Sharingan consumes too much energy. In addition, he used Lightning Release chakra to increase his speed. In less than five minutes of the series of attacks, Kakashi felt his stamina was exhausted. He could only use Chidori once more before he was done for.

"Kakashi, you go on your own. I'm under a sealing jutsu and can't use chakra, so I can't go far!"

Rin quickly urged Kakashi to leave.

Upon seeing Kakashi approach Rin Nohara, the other Hidden Mist ninjas ceased using ninjutsu against him and instead engaged in close combat.

On one hand, they noticed that Kakashi's chakra was clearly insufficient. On the other hand, the Three-Tails was sealed inside Nohara Rin's body. If they accidentally injured her and released the Three-Tails now, not only would their plan fail, but they would also likely be in grave danger.

After Kakashi noticed that the Hidden Mist ninjas would deliberately avoid Nohara Rin when attacking him, he launched a counterattack with peace of mind. However, he always kept himself within five meters of Nohara Rin, preventing the Hidden Mist ninjas from having a chance to touch her.

"Kakashi, you should leave now! If this continues, none of us will escape. They won't kill me now!"

Lin looked at Kakashi, whose movements were getting slower and slower, and said anxiously.

"Rin, I will definitely protect you! This is my promise to Obito!"

Kakashi said firmly.

laugh!

The cross-shaped sword flashed again.

"what!"

"what!"

Four Hidden Mist ninjas perished under White Fang's sharp teeth.

However, Kakashi's breathing became increasingly heavy.

He had done his best to protect Rin, who was completely defenseless, while facing an attack by dozens of ninjas.

It seems I won't be able to leave here alive today. If I die here, I can see my father and Obito, which seems like a good thing.

With that thought in mind, Kakashi resolutely used up his last bit of chakra, and silvery-white arcs of electricity filled the White Fang short sword in his hand as he turned and stabbed at the ninja attacking from behind.

puff!

Blood splattered everywhere. Kakashi stared in disbelief at the scene before him. Suddenly, Rin rushed over, and the White Fang short sword pierced through her heart.

"Kakashi... Kakashi, live... live..." Rin managed to speak, but the Lightning Release chakra had already paralyzed her body, leaving her without the strength to even speak.

Kakashi was struck dumb, staring blankly as Rin fell to the ground. An indescribable surge of powerful chakra erupted from his left eye, and immense fatigue overwhelmed Kakashi's body, plunging him into darkness as well.

thump!

Kakashi then fell to the ground.

At this moment, Obito, who was encased in a white Zetsu shell not far away, rushed over upon hearing the news. He connected his vision through Kakashi's Sharingan in his left eye and saw the scene before him. The next moment, he finally arrived at the scene.

"No—! Lin! Why!?"

"This can't be real!"

"This is hell!"

Obito's right Sharingan evolved directly from two tomoe to the Mangekyou Sharingan. He staggered toward Rin's 'corpse' with a dazed look in his eyes.

"Who goes there?!"

The Hidden Mist ninjas, who were about to finish off Kakashi, were taken aback and launched an attack on Obito.

"Ah—!" Obito let out a shrill scream and charged straight at the Hidden Mist ninjas, ignoring the ninja tools and ninjutsu attacking him, and just kept charging straight ahead.

All the attacks passed right through Obito's body. The ninjas attacking from both the front and back even stabbed each other in the process of penetrating Obito's body.

"what!"

"What's going on?!"

'Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!'

With a loud rumble, the earth trembled violently, and the ground cracked inch by inch, as if a dragon were turning over. A huge dragon-shaped tree trunk, more than forty meters long, burst out of the ground, its body covered with sharp thorns.

The wooden dragon, as if alive, swept away the surrounding Hidden Mist ninjas with a single tail swing, and then swallowed Kakashi and Rin's 'corpses'.

A man wearing a swirling mask stood atop the wooden dragon's head and quickly disappeared into the distance.

"Tobi?!" Obito was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that the white sword wrapped around his body was Tobi.

"Stop! Give Lin back to me!"

Obito screamed and chased after it into the distance, but the wooden dragon was too fast and disappeared from Obito's sight in the blink of an eye.

'Wood Release: Wood Splinter Technique!'

'Wood Release: Hell Chaos!'

In a moment of desperation, Obito felt his chakra suddenly surge, and as if by instinct, he used Wood Release ninjutsu.

"what!"

"what!"

The remaining Hidden Mist ninjas died instantly upon being touched by Obito, their bodies sprouting sharp wooden spikes.

Immediately afterwards, large trees covered with thorns and spikes began to grow from the ground, spiraling upwards and strangling all the Hidden Mist ninjas.

Blood rained down from the sky.

Obito stared in the direction Rin had disappeared, then collapsed to the ground with a thud, unconscious.

At this moment, Tobi, who was wrapped in Obito's body, was a little confused. The ninja wearing the vortex mask just now looked almost exactly like him. How could this situation have occurred?

"I need to go back and report to Madara right away!"

With that thought in mind, Tobi controlled Obito's body to return the way he came.

......

The Land of Grass.

Underground stronghold.

White Zetsu Tobi, wrapped around the unconscious Obito, used the Mayfly Technique to quickly head towards the underground base.

Obito woke up halfway there.

Ban sat upright on the stone seat.

He controlled the Third Mizukage to seal the Three-Tails into Rin Nohara's body.

After witnessing Obito's cockroach-like tenacity, Madara felt that he was a suitable candidate.

The Uchiha clan is one of the few in its entire history capable of directly activating the double tomoe.

Especially since Obito seems so innocent and kind, the more innocent and kind a person is, the more distorted their thinking becomes after they turn evil.
