Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

"Yes!"

The eight medical ninjas quickly ran towards the east of the village, returning to the hospital ahead of time to prepare to activate the barrier.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Kinkaku continuously attacked the trees summoned by Rope Tree using Wood Release. With huge explosions, wood chips flew everywhere, while the Konoha ninja below protected the medical ninja and Minato Namikaze in the middle.

"Minami, take the Fourth Hokage back to the hospital for treatment. I'll stay here." After the medical team leader had given Minato Namikaze emergency treatment to stop the bleeding, he ordered Minami, who was standing to the side. They didn't know how many ninjas here would be injured, so they had to leave some medical ninjas behind.

The Fourth Hokage's injuries were not minor, but after emergency treatment and the use of the Regeneration Technique to heal his chest wound, he would not be in mortal danger. However, both of his arms were broken, and he would probably never be able to recover his peak strength.

The situation is critical, and the medical team leader hopes that Minami will leave this dangerous place.

After all, Tsunade is not in the village, Nono was sent out by Root, and Shiraha left. Now, Minami has the highest level of medical ninjutsu and the greatest talent among the medical team members.

"Yes!" Minami understood that the medical squad leader was protecting her, and immediately ordered the ninjas to carry the Fourth Hokage and rush towards Konoha Hospital.

"I didn't expect that Ginkaku to be so insidious..." Bai Yu frowned slightly as he watched Minato Namikaze being carried away. He didn't have the authority to view the Impure World Reincarnation technique when he was in Konoha, because this technique was not recorded in the Book of Sealing. However, he had heard that Orochimaru had studied this technique.

Based on Bai Yu's understanding of Orochimaru, he is the kind of person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, treats his own people very well, but is also very vengeful.

It now seems that Danzo tricked Orochimaru, then foolishly exchanged the complete version of this forbidden technique with Orochimaru, and was then tricked himself.

To be honest, Bai Yu had a good impression of Minato Namikaze. Apart from his unusual obsession with Kushina, there was no conflict between them.

However, from a purely economic perspective, Minato Namikaze's serious injury, or even death, would be a great thing for the Uzumaki clan.

According to the information obtained by Uchiha Issei through this Kodama incarnation, Namikaze Minato has no prejudice against the Uchiha clan. Furthermore, the clan head, Uchiha Fugaku, and Namikaze Minato are friends. In the years to come, when Namikaze Minato gradually gains real power, the Uchiha clan may reconcile with the higher-ups.

A united Konoha is not a good thing for the Land of Whirlpools.

The painful lesson of the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools has already shown that Konoha is not reliable.

If there are sufficient interests at stake, it's not impossible for Konoha and Uzushiogakure to become enemies.

Whether Minato Namikaze will take military action against the Land of Whirlpools remains to be seen, but Shiraha has never liked to hand over the decision-making power to others.

This is just perfect. Ginkaku knows that he will most likely be sealed after self-destructing, but he still takes this opportunity to severely injure Minato Namikaze, which is exactly what Shiraha wanted.

Given Danzo and the Third Hokage's record of forcing Sakumo to his death, it's obvious how they will treat the Uchiha clan in the future.

At this time, after Ginkaku was sealed, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Nawaki besieged Kinkaku, and a group of Jonin also came to help.

Kinkaku had already consumed a large amount of Nine-Tails chakra in the previous battle. Facing the siege of dozens of Jonin from Konoha, he was eventually caught off guard by Hiruzen Sarutobi, who smashed his body with a single blow before sealing him by the sealing team.

After taking the Golden Rope from Kinkaku, Bai Yu pretended to have exhausted his chakra and then slacked off throughout the subsequent battle.

After successfully sealing Kinkaku, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a breather.

Near the Hokage Rock, the Hokage Building below was also razed to the ground. Fortunately, the destruction was limited to a very small area, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

"Immediately send people to search for the injured in the vicinity! The sealing team ninjas, go and collect the Nine-Tails chakra that has spilled out in the vicinity."

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately gave the order. He had originally planned to directly punish Danzo, who was standing to the side, but seeing his old friend's disheveled appearance and blood on his lips, he softened. After all, Danzo had only done this to fill the gap in Konoha's Jinchūriki, which was why he had recklessly summoned Kinkaku and Ginkaku through the Impure World Reincarnation.

"Yes!" The group acted swiftly under Hiruzen Sarutobi's command.

"First, reinforce the seals on Kinkaku and Ginkaku. There absolutely cannot be any mistakes," Hiruzen Sarutobi added.

"Yes!"

At this moment, Nawaki collected the Six Paths Ninja Tools that had fallen after Kinkaku and Ginkaku's bodies were blown up, and then used his chakra to release the Uchiha ninja who had been sucked into the Purple Gold Gourd.

When the Uchiha ninjas appeared, they all looked completely drained.

Seeing Nawaki's pale face after using the Purple Gold Gourd, Fugaku Uchiha knew how much energy was consumed by using the Six Paths Tools, and immediately stepped forward to thank him: "Thank you!"

"We're all companions, it's only right." Rope Tree plopped down on the ground and put the purple-gold gourd aside.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the purple-gold gourd, the Seven-Star Sword, and the Banana Fan beside him, then approached the dejected-looking Fugaku Uchiha and asked:

"Fugaku, are you alright?"

Fugaku Uchiha waved his hand weakly and said, "It's alright, Third Hokage. He just overused his eye power and will be fine after some rest. But the Fourth Hokage..."

"I'm going to check on the Fourth Hokage right now!" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly, then paused, "Just to be on the safe side, you should also go to the hospital for a checkup. This time it really is... sigh~"

A shadow fell over Fugaku Uchiha's face. The Fourth Hokage's critical injuries and death were devastating news for the Uchiha clan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi left in a hurry, and the heads of several major clans followed him.

If the Fourth Hokage dies from his injuries, it will be a huge loss for Konoha.

Moreover, if the Hokage is replaced, another round of political reshuffling will be faced.

Konoha can't afford any more trouble right now.

The surrounding ninjas quickly dispersed, and the Jonin of the Anbu carefully put away the Purple Gold Gourd, the Seven Star Sword, and the Banana Leaf Fan, before coming to Bai Yu's side.

"Uchiha Issei, according to the rules, this Golden Rope is considered your spoils of war. However, since it concerns the Six Paths Ninja Tools, I hope you will hand it over to the village first and then wait for its distribution."

The Jonin of the Anbu spoke up.

Bai Yu carefully put away the golden rope wrapped around his arm and asked in return, "You said it's spoils of war, so what are we waiting for to distribute?"

The energy contained in this Six Paths Ninja Tool is very strange, and its material is special. It has a high compatibility with Bai Yu, and he is determined to obtain it. If the original body were here, he would definitely take it all.

Currently, Bai Yu can only take the Golden Rope. After all, things obtained on the battlefield are all based on one's own abilities, and there has never been a rule that one must hand over spoils of war.

"This..." The ANBU Jonin was taken aback. Noticing the dissatisfied looks from the Uchiha around him, he said nothing more.

The ANBU Jonin glanced at Danzo unintentionally.

Danzo nodded slightly, and the ANBU Jonin turned and left.

......

After a day and a night of treatment, Minato Namikaze was finally out of danger, but he remained unconscious.

For Minato Namikaze, who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, losing both arms would be a devastating blow.

On the morning of the third day, Jiraiya, who was out gathering materials, rushed back to the village upon hearing the news.

After seeing the severely injured and unconscious Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya found Hiruzen Sarutobi and questioned him:

"Third Hokage! Why is Minato so badly injured?! Where is Tsunade? Did you notify her that she's back?"

“I sent people to look for Tsunade yesterday, but she’s deliberately avoiding the village’s intelligence ninjas, so I had to send Nawaki to contact her.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi replied.

"Why are Kinkaku and Ginkaku, who killed the Second Hokage, appearing in Konoha?!"

As a high-ranking official in Konoha, Jiraiya naturally had access to the information that had been blocked.

"In order to fill the gap in Konoha's Jinchūriki, Danzo suggested using the Impure World Reincarnation to summon Kinkaku and Ginkaku from Kumogakure and then extract the Nine-Tails' chakra from their bodies. However, after they were summoned, an accident occurred, and Kinkaku and Ginkaku went out of control."

Since the two were summoned in the center of the village, we cannot fight them at full strength when they attack.

In an attempt to end the battle quickly, Minato was injured by Ginkaku's self-destruction while casting a sealing technique.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked ashamed.

"Since you know the dangers of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, why did you dare to summon them inside the village?!"

Jiraiya questioned.

"It was Danzo who repeatedly assured us that there would be no problems, and we were also preparing to extract the Nine-Tails' chakra as soon as possible so that we could transfer it earlier," Hiruzen Sarutobi replied. He couldn't completely take the blame for Danzo. Although Danzo was somewhat selfish when he did things, he was generally reliable. Who would have thought that after his repeated assurances, such serious consequences would still occur?

"Jiraiya, don't worry! Minato is out of danger. We will do our best to heal him. Even if Tsunade can't heal him, we can pay a price to get Hakuba to help. Wasn't it Hakuba who healed Nawaki's leg?" Hiruzen Sarutobi continued.

“I’ve already asked the medical ninjas! Limb transplants are extremely risky. Nawaki was able to succeed because his limb was cultivated by Hakuba over many years. Moreover, Nawaki is the grandson of the First Hokage and can adapt to the power of the First Hokage’s cells. Minato and the First Hokage are not related by blood!”

Jiraiya's anger was not abated. Minato was not only his disciple, but also the prophesied child he was looking for after Nagato's 'death,' the hope of this world. In the end, due to the carelessness of the Third Hokage and Danzo, his career as a ninja was directly ruined. How could he not be angry?

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "I believe Shiraha will definitely have a way. Given the relationship between Nawaki and Tsunade and him, he definitely won't refuse if we ask him for help!"

"I hope you can persuade Shiraha to help Minato with his treatment!" Jiraiya said in an unfriendly tone, then turned and stormed off.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed. In truth, Jiraiya was the most respectful of his three disciples, but people change as time goes by.

Shortly after Jiraiya left, the Root's ANBU ninjas came before Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Third Hokage, Lord Danzo wishes to ask when the Nine-Tails' chakra transfer can proceed?"

"Go back and tell Danzo that healing Minato is the most important thing right now!" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, his voice filled with obvious anger.

At this time, the best candidate to become a Jinchūriki is Uzumaki Shimei, but Minato was seriously injured for the sake of the village. If he were to attack the pregnant Uzumaki Shimei, wouldn't that be disheartening?

......

The news of the massive destruction suffered within Konoha was not kept secret for long, after all, two mountains outside the village had been knocked down, and the commotion could be clearly heard for miles around.

Immediately, all parties launched an investigation.

After receiving Nawaki's letter, Tsunade, who was visiting the Land of Whirlpools, returned to Konoha.

Faced with the severely injured and unconscious Minato Namikaze, Tsunade was helpless and unable to help him recover his severed limbs.

Therefore, at Konoha's request, Tsunade invited Hakuba to Konoha to treat Minato Namikaze.

Bai Yu is the expert when it comes to limb regeneration technology.

[Chapter 156. A Grand Gift!]

The Land of Whirlpools, the territory of the Whirlpool Clan.

After learning that Kushina was pregnant, Shiraha returned to his clan's territory and stayed with her.

Although Shiraha agreed to Tsunade's request, he did not immediately follow her to Konoha.

Because he had more important things to deal with.

In the very center of the Uzumaki clan's territory, on the first underground floor, Bai Yu had set up a large research laboratory. Only he and Kushina knew about it; even Rin, Kushina's disciple, was not qualified to enter.

With the continuous financial support from the military factories in the Land of Snow and the pharmaceutical companies in the Land of Demons, the laboratory is fully equipped with all kinds of equipment. Furthermore, because Bai Yu has vigorously developed education in these countries and valued the development of ordinary people, some students who do not have the talent of ninjas but have talent in scientific research have emerged in recent years.

These people may not play a crucial role now, but they will become the cornerstone of future technological development.

At this moment, Kushina was lying flat on the experimental table in the middle of the underground laboratory.
