Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

"Don't worry, we'll handle this."

Black Zetsu's confident voice rang out: if more Mangekyou Sharingan users could help, then implementing the plan would be easier, since the Mangekyou Sharingan's ability to counter tailed beasts was obvious.

[160.Chapter 160 Eyes Opening]

Seven months had passed since Minato Namikaze was seriously injured in the battle against Kinkaku and Ginkaku. On October 10th, Konoha 48, Minato Namikaze's two children were born.

Konoha Hospital, delivery room.

As the baby cried, Minato Namikaze's wife, Uzumaki Shiki, gave birth.

Jiraiya sat outside the delivery room waiting.

With his beloved disciple in a coma, Uzumaki Ryoumei is naturally the person Jiraiya cares about most right now, since she doesn't even have the strength of a genin and is just an ordinary person.

A short while later, the medical team leader and deputy team leader, Meibo, each carried a child out of the delivery room.

"Lord Jiraiya, it's twins, a boy and a girl. Mother and babies are safe and sound," the medical team leader answered before Jiraiya could even ask.

"That's great." Jiraiya's expression relaxed, happy for Minato, and then he asked, "What about the name? Has it been chosen yet?"

"Lu Ming said that the names were prepared by the Fourth Hokage long ago. Regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, they will be named after the protagonists in Jiraiya's novels, Naruto. Now that they are twins, the girl's name was chosen by Lu Ming, Karin."

Minami explained.

“Naruto Namikaze… Karin Namikaze…” Jiraiya’s heart warmed. He hadn’t expected Minato to actually use the name of the protagonist from his novel. He murmured to himself, “Minato, I will take good care of them for you.”

Ever since Nagato's 'death', Jiraiya has always believed that Minato Namikaze is the child of prophecy. Although he was seriously injured and unconscious this time, after being treated by Bai Yu, he has had his arms re-transplanted. According to Bai Yu, Minato will be even stronger when he wakes up.

Now that Minato has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and Sage Mode, he has already surpassed his teacher Jiraiya in strength. If he were to advance further, he might surpass Hakuba and Kushina, becoming the true strongest ninja in the world.

Before he woke up, Jiraiya felt it was his duty to take care of his family.

"This child...can I hug Naruto?"

Jiraiya looked at the blond boy with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Even though he wasn't a sensory ninja, he could still sense the amazingly powerful chakra within Naruto.

"Okay, but don't take too long, we still need to take the two babies to the nursery!" The medical team leader handed the baby Naruto to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya carefully took the baby Naruto and, as expected, discovered that Naruto's chakra talent was beyond his imagination.

"Does Minato really have the bloodline of the Senju and Uzumaki clans?" Jiraiya's heart was filled with doubt. He recalled Bai Yu's previous speculation. Otherwise, Uzumaki Ryoumei was just an ordinary Uzumaki clan member with average ninja talent. After combining with Minato, Naruto's talent had become so strong.

"Could Naruto be the child of prophecy?!"

Jiraiya thought to himself, then handed Naruto back to the medical team leader. He then took Karin from Minami's arms, examined her briefly, and found that Karin's chakra talent was not bad, but it was incomparable to Naruto's.

"How could this happen?" Jiraiya watched the medical team leader and Minami leave, feeling very puzzled. "It seems I have to go back to Mount Myōboku and ask the Great Toad Sage."

After the Third Shinobi World War came to an end, Jiraiya left Konoha and traveled throughout the ninja world, not only to gather materials but also to search for the prophesied snake in the Great Toad Sage's dream.

Jiraiya initially suspected that the giant toad's prophecy was directed at Orochimaru.

Especially when Orochimaru defected from Konoha, Jiraiya fought a great battle with him. Although Jiraiya held back and did not go all out or use Sage Mode, Orochimaru's strength was clearly greater than when the three of them fought Hanzo together. In particular, he had modified his body to look less like a human and more like a snake.

"Devouring the world... Could Orochimaru be the final enemy of the Child of Prophecy?" Jiraiya's expression gradually became solemn, because he had not completely given up on Orochimaru as a friend, but he also knew that Orochimaru had gone astray and it would be difficult for him to go back to the way he was before.

Through the information gathered by the Third Hokage, Jiraiya roughly pieced together the details of the incident.

Orochimaru secretly began researching the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Danzo suddenly claimed that he had completed the technique and then summoned Kinkaku and Ginkaku in an attempt to extract the Nine-Tails' chakra to recreate the Jinchuriki. However, due to the failure of the Impure World Reincarnation technique's curse seal, Kinkaku and Ginkaku went out of control, which led to Minato suffering severe injuries in order to successfully seal the two.

Looking back now, the development of the Impure World Reincarnation technique was extremely difficult. How could Danzo have suddenly completed it? It's highly likely that he had some kind of exchange with Orochimaru. After all, it was the Third Hokage who sent Orochimaru to join Root, which led to Orochimaru's collusion with Danzo.

In fact, Jiraiya had always suspected that there was something fishy about Orochimaru's defection. Based on his understanding of Orochimaru, although the guy was somewhat cold-hearted, he was not the kind of person who would directly use fellow village ninjas for human experiments.

"If Orochimaru deliberately gave the flawed Impure World Reincarnation technique to Danzo, then this incident..." Jiraiya's face darkened, and his mood became somewhat heavy. Putting aside whether Orochimaru indirectly caused Minato's serious injury, the consequences of the Impure World Reincarnation technique being abused were simply unimaginable.

If even top-tier Kage-level shinobi like Kinkaku and Ginkaku are so difficult to deal with, then if the previous Kage of each village were resurrected, it would inevitably cause chaos in the shinobi world. If other villages then turn their attention to Konoha, it might lead to another round of the Shinobi World War.

"Orochimaru, I will definitely stop you!"

Jiraiya secretly made up his mind.

......

The Land of Grass.

In the mountains and forests.

A bald old man with white hair and beard was moving swiftly through the dense forest. There was a scar on the left side of his face that ran from his forehead to his chin. He wore an eyepatch over his left eye, and his right eye was filled with ferocity. He was extremely agile and did not show any signs of old age. He was none other than Uchiha Hayato, who had made a promise with Madara.

Not far behind him, a beautiful female ninja with short, ear-length hair followed behind the bald old man; it was Uchiha Chiho.

"What exactly does Grandpa want to do?" Chisui wondered.

Recently, Uchiha Hayato's behavior has been somewhat unusual, as if he is secretly in contact with some mysterious figure.

Most importantly, she heard information about the Land of Whirlpools.

To be precise, it's about Shiraha.

Shiraha was the first man Chiho developed feelings for, but unfortunately, Shiraha already had Kushina. Although she wanted to win him over, she knew that she didn't have much of a chance in any aspect.

Especially since Shiraha and Kushina left Konoha together and established the Uzumaki clan, the two of them were closely intertwined in every aspect, leaving Chiho with no chance at all.

Therefore, she chose to bury everything deep in her heart and dedicate all her energy and life to the clan, striving for the prosperity of the Uchiha.

However, when Shiraha returned to Konoha, Chiho was still troubled.

Unfortunately, she was in the Hidden Mist battlefield in the east at the time, leading the elite of the Uchiha clan to guard the border of the East Blue, so she could not leave her post.

By the time she completed her mission and returned to the village, Shiraha had already returned to the Land of Whirlpools and to Kushina's side.

Chiho found Uchiha Hayato's mystery strange, especially since it involved Shiraha, and she couldn't help but want to find out more.

Every so often, Uchiha Hayato would stop, seemingly having reached his destination.

"Come out, I'm here!"

Uchiha Hayato arrived at the entrance of a cave and called out in a deep voice towards it.

A moment later, a ninja shrouded in black robes emerged from the cave, carrying a man covered in blood. Because Chiho had her back to him, she couldn't see who he was.

"So? Are you ready?"

The black-robed ninja spoke slowly.

“Yes,” Uchiha Hayato replied.

The black-robed ninja nodded, seemingly satisfied, and continued, "That's good. After all, we exposed many of our trump cards in order to capture Yagami Shiroha. We used every means possible: poisoning, sneak attacks, planting spies!"

With that, the black-robed ninja threw the man he was carrying to the ground.

Bai Yu? ! !

Hidden behind the tree, Chiho's eyes widened suddenly as she realized that the man lying on the ground was none other than 'Shiroha', the man she had been longing for day and night.

With Bai Yu's strength, how could he possibly be captured by these methods?

However, when Uchiha Hayato grabbed the man on the ground by the collar and pulled him up, Chiho's doubts were completely dispelled. The voice, appearance, and even the feeling of chakra were exactly the same as Shiraha's. It was definitely not a disguise using transformation techniques. It was Shiraha!

"If you agree to hand over the sealing technique and help us control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, I'll let you go, how about it?"

Uchiha Hayato's cold voice rang out; Chiho had never seen this side of her before.

"Don't even think about it!" 'Bai Yu' firmly refused.

"Looks like you haven't had enough of suffering yet!" Uchiha Hayato opened and closed his right eye, his dark eye turning crimson, and the three-tomoe Sharingan converged, transforming into a strange and mysterious pattern.

"The Kaleidoscope Sharingan?!"

Chiho was startled; her grandfather had actually awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"what--!"

Bai Yu's painful screams brought Chiho back to her senses, instantly throwing her into disarray.

"Tell me or not!" Uchiha Hayato gripped 'Shiroba's' neck tightly, squeezing his face until it turned blue and purple, and he was about to die!

"stop!"

Chiho could no longer care about anything else. She activated her three-tomoe Sharingan, unleashed her chakra, and charged forward.

"Chiho?! It's you?!" Uchiha Hayato's expression changed.

"Grandpa! Please release Shiraha!" Chiho approached Uchiha Hayato with a pleading expression.

Hayato Uchiha sighed and shook his head: "Chiho, Grandpa can grant any request you make, except for this one!"

"Grandpa, don't force me!" Chiho drew her ninja sword from behind her. She had learned the Konoha-ryu swordsmanship from Oshima Shuichi, and especially after awakening the three-tomoe technique, her close-combat power combined with her swordsmanship was greatly enhanced.

"Chiho, are you really going to fight me for the sake of an outsider?"

Uchiha Hayato's expression turned cold.

"Grandpa, Shiraha is just as important to me as you are!" Chiho pointed her ninja sword at Uchiha Hayato.

"Chiho...I..."

Just as 'White Feather' was about to speak, he heard a cracking sound and his neck was crushed by Uchiha Hayato, killing him instantly.

"Do not--!"

Chiho's eyes widened suddenly, and with a swift movement, she thrust her ninja sword into Uchiha Hayato's right shoulder.

In her eyes, the tadpole-shaped three-tomoe pearls quickly converged towards the center, transforming into a cherry blossom-shaped pattern.

.......

The same thing happened not long afterward within the Uchiha clan's territory.

That night, when Uchiha Munehito returned home after completing his mission, the pungent smell of blood made his expression change.

When he pushed open the door to the room, he was stunned by what he saw.

Both parents lay in pools of blood.

"Ah—! Mother! Father!"

Uchiha Munejin let out a scream and rushed into the room.

Both parents wore expressions of shock, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable before they died.

"Who is it?!" Uchiha Munejin's dark eyes suddenly turned blood red, and his three tomoe clenched tightly. Sensing the noise coming from the room inside, he suddenly unleashed his chakra, slashed the door with his sword with a bang, and rushed into the room.
