Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

How could someone who is the leader of an organization be completely without cunning?

Being too sincere is hypocrisy!

"This is the intelligence I have." Danzo took a scroll from his robes, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Hanzo.

Upon seeing the contents of the scroll, Hanzo's expression changed: "This is..."

Under Danzo's coercion and enticement, Hanzo quickly compromised.

After all, the person standing in front of him was Danzo, who almost became the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

No one can guarantee that Danzo won't become the Fifth Hokage in the future, so offending Danzo is a very unwise choice.

Moreover, the benefits he offered far exceeded what one could gain from cooperating with the Akatsuki organization.

Despite his great ambitions, Hanzo knew that cooperating with Akatsuki to make the Land of Rain the sixth largest country was a slim hope. Focusing on immediate interests was the more practical approach.

"I understand," Hanzo said, his expression slightly somber.

......

The Land of Whirlpools.

In the hospital of the Vortex Clan.

Kushina looked at Nohara Rin with a surprised expression and asked, "I'm pregnant?!"

"Yes, Ms. Kushina, the baby is healthy and is already six weeks along."

Nohara Rin smiled and congratulated her, saying that she had been living a very happy life in the Uzumaki clan since being taken in as a disciple by Kushina.

She was originally an orphan in Konoha, with no relatives.

Now that Obito is dead, Kakashi is the only person she cares about left.

However, now that she has become the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, returning to Konoha would definitely cause trouble for Kakashi. Staying with the Uzumaki clan is the best choice for both Kakashi and herself.

In particular, she herself had a very good relationship with Shiraha and Kushina.

Now that he has become Kushina's disciple, he has the potential to master the power of the Three-Tails and become Kakashi's ally in the future.

Obito died to save her, and Kakashi almost paid the price with his life to save her as well. Rin no longer wanted to be a burden to Kakashi.

Now, Lin spends her days treating patients at the hospital, and the rest of her time helping Kushina with government affairs and training with her. Her schedule is packed, so she never feels bored or empty.

This is the kind of life she longs for.

Anyway, Kakashi promised to come see her when he had time, and Rin had no attachment to Konoha.

"No wonder I've been having a poor appetite lately, I'm going to be a mother!?" Kushina exclaimed excitedly. She had long wanted to have a child with Shiraha, and this wish had finally come true.

Rin Nohara: "Congratulations, Lady Kushina!"

"Thank you, I need to go tell Bai Yu right away." Kushina smiled as she stood up, then hurriedly ran out of the room.

Inside the sealed space, the mini nine-tailed fox curled up its lips slightly and then complained, "Just don't make me take care of the kids anymore."

"Kurama, don't worry. Bai Yu said that if we have children in the future, you can take care of the boys, but absolutely not the girls," Kushina replied.

Nine-Tails looked puzzled: "Why?"

It remembered the time when Feng Hua Xiaoxue pulled its ear. It seemed that Bai Yu was still sensible and knew that girls could be unruly.

"Because Bai Yu said that you like to swear and that your manners are a bit low. Girls should be cute and not learn to swear like you," Kushina said seriously. She did hope that her daughter would be like Bai Yu and not as carefree and sometimes rude as she was.

Nine-Tailed Fox: "?"

"As for the boys, it doesn't matter. If they're naughty, you can take care of them," Kushina continued.

Nine-Tailed Fox: "******"

Kushina: "Kurama, you see, Shiraha was right after all. It's bad to swear. It will corrupt children. You really shouldn't be the one to raise girls."

Nine-Tails: "......"

I'm devastated.

Nine-Tails fell silent.

"Bai Yu has been away for almost a month and a half this time. I don't know if he will be back soon. I need to tell him this good news as soon as possible."

Kushina's face lit up with a happy smile, radiating maternal glow.

[Chapter 147. The Pledge of Allegiance]

A light drizzle was falling from the sky.

Bai Yu, dressed in a white fitted suit, stood quietly on the cliff, looking down at Amegakure Village in front of him.

The raindrops fell continuously, creating transparent ripples about twenty centimeters away from Bai Yu's body, like ripples on a calm water surface.

After advancing to the first level of "Summoner", Bai Yu's mental power and magic power increased significantly. He has now completed the vaporization of mental power and has begun the second stage of mental power liquefaction. He can cast level 0 defensive spells like "Barrier" 24 hours a day, which can almost be regarded as a semi-permanent solidification spell. This consumption is almost negligible for him now.

Although with his current strength, if he encounters a powerful enemy and needs to fight, the "Barrier" spell can provide very limited defensive capabilities, it is more than enough to shelter him from the wind and rain.

Kodama investigated Obito and the white creature, and found the leader of the Akatsuki organization. Bai Yu took this matter very seriously.

After all, if Obito were alive, the fact that he didn't return to Konoha must mean he was influenced by Madara. And Madara certainly wasn't just bored and didn't want to mentor Obito, a junior. He must have some unspeakable secret.

No matter what form Obito takes, as long as Rin is the trump card, Shiraha will always have the upper hand.

Recently, several members of 'Infinite Ring' have been active near the Land of Rain, and Shiraha has obtained a lot of information about them.

His main purpose in coming here was to take the opportunity to win over the Akatsuki organization. It would be best if he could recruit them, but if that wasn't possible, he at least wanted to establish some contact. Even if they couldn't cooperate, he still needed to keep a close eye on the Akatsuki organization and know their movements.

Just two days ago, Kodama discovered that Danzo and the Root members had arrived in Amegakure and were meeting with Hanzo.

Although Bai Yu didn't know what Danzo and Hanzo had said, he knew that as long as he did the opposite of what Danzo wanted to do, he would definitely be able to profit.

With Bai Yu's current strength, it's not impossible for him to ambush Danzo on the way without anyone noticing. However, he cannot afford to lose either of Konoha's top talents.

If you try to deal with Konoha by force, Konoha will become more united than ever before.

World War II and World War III have already proven this point.

However, whenever Konoha is in peacetime, it will inevitably descend into chaos from within and begin to fight amongst itself.

The Sakumo incident and the Orochimaru incident have made Shiraha acknowledge Danzo and the Third Hokage's abilities in the civil war.

"Who goes there?!"

Bai Yu arrived not far from the edge of Amegakure. Before he even got close to the gate, more than a dozen Amegakure ninjas appeared in front of him and blocked his way.

Everyone stared warily at Bai Yu. Although he was far too young, he remained completely calm despite being surrounded by people, which surprised everyone. No one dared to be negligent.

The leading Amegakure Jonin stepped forward, looking at Bai Yu's face, feeling that it looked somewhat familiar: "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before, sir. May I ask what brings you to our Amegakure?"

"I am Yagami Shiroha." Shiroha smiled slightly. "I wish to see your leader, Hanzo."

"Iori Shirayu?"

Everyone was taken aback.

"You're Yagami Shiraha?!"

A Chunin from Amegakure asked curiously, "There are many famous and powerful ninjas, such as the Five Kage of the present world, the Amegakure Demigod, the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and the Yellow Flash. These are all top-tier powerhouses."

Among these powerful figures, the Tsuchikage and Raikage are the strongest of the Five Kage. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Third Raikage, A, repeatedly suppressed the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki. Therefore, the strongest of the Five Kage is undoubtedly the Third Raikage, A, who was at his peak.

Even Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure and known as a demigod, publicly stated that he could not withstand the Third Raikage A's ninjutsu in a direct confrontation, and that he could only fight the Third Raikage A by relying on the deadly poison of the salamander.

However, during the Third Shinobi World War, Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha, successfully mastered the power of the Nine-Tails at the age of just over twenty, becoming the youngest and strongest perfect Jinchuriki in history, and repeatedly suppressed the Third Raikage, A, in direct combat.

The man behind Kushina was Yagami Shiroha, who was able to fight the Third Raikage, A, to a standstill using his ninjutsu.

Kushina possessed the power of the Nine-Tails, the strongest tailed beast, while Yagami Shiroha, born into a commoner family with no noble lineage, was neither a Hyuga nor an Uchiha. Yet, in his early twenties, he had mastered ninjutsu to such a terrifying degree.

It can only be said that birds of a feather flock together; Kushina and Shiraha are a combination of geniuses.

In the hearts of many ninjas in the ninja world, Bai Yu's reputation is even higher than Kushina's, and he is on par with the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, the Yellow Flash.

Upon seeing him in person today, the Kirigakure ninjas felt somewhat dazed. Although they were both in their early twenties, Hakuyu looked like he had just come of age, yet he was already a powerful figure standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world, while they didn't even have the strength of a Jonin.

The difference between people can sometimes be greater than the difference between a person and a dog.

Snapped!

Hearing his subordinate speak out of turn, the Kirigakure Jonin standing nearby slapped him on the back of the head and scolded him in a low voice, "What are you yelling about? You should call him Lord Shiraha!"

As he spoke, he bowed slightly to Bai Yu and said, "Lord Bai Yu, may I ask what brings you to see our Lord Hanzo? Our Amegakure has not established diplomatic relations with the Uzumaki clan, so could you please tell me the purpose of this visit?"

The Kirigakure Jonin was unusually polite. Putting aside Shiraha's terrifying strength, his wife was Kushina Uzumaki, the current head of the Uzumaki clan and the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails. His arrival likely represented the Uzumaki clan.

Bai Yu's current status can be said to be second only to the Five Kage of the world, so it is not too much for the ninjas who greet him to be respectful when he personally comes to visit.

After all, offending him was equivalent to offending two top-tier experts whose strength was no less than that of their leader, Hanzo.

This is something that should absolutely not be done.

“It is precisely because the Uzumaki clan has not established diplomatic relations with Amegakure that I have come in person this time. Our diplomatic relations with Amegakure will be established starting today,” Bai Yu replied with a smile.

"You mean the Uzumaki clan wants to formally establish diplomatic relations with us?!" The Amegakure Jonin's eyes widened. Now that the village's efforts to establish diplomatic relations with Iwagakure were being hindered, the Uzumaki clan was taking the initiative to establish diplomatic ties. This was truly wonderful news.

The Amegakure Jonin quickly said, "Please go into the village and rest for a while. I will send someone to inform Lord Hanzo immediately."

Even if it were an ordinary Jonin, or an envoy from one of the Five Great Nations, they would definitely have to wait at the gate for a simultaneous interpreter.

But Bai Yu was different; he directly represented the Uzumaki clan, making him a figure equivalent to the Five Kage in person.

The five great nations, whose strength far surpasses that of Amegakure, are more of a formality than a practical one for Amegakure. Only ninja clans like the Uzumaki clan, whose overall strength is not much different from that of Amegakure, have a real chance to form an offensive and defensive alliance with Amegakure.

"please!"

At the signal of the Amegakure Jonin, more than a dozen Amegakure ninjas stepped aside, bowed slightly, and invited Bai Yu into the village.

"I've always heard that Amegakure is xenophobic and difficult to get along with, but it seems you're quite hospitable. The rumors are wrong."

Bai Yu smiled slightly and stepped towards the gate of Amegakure.

The Rain Ninja followed behind.

"This is......"

Only after a dozen Rain Village ninjas observed him closely did they notice that when the rain fell in front of Bai Yu, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier and did not touch his body at all. Walking on the wet and muddy road, his clothes and shoes were clean and not wet at all.
