Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

After the Root members who contacted Nonou conveyed her thoughts, Danzo agreed to let her return to Konoha, but before she left, he wanted her to kill a foreign spy who was lurking in Iwagakure.

Having a thorough understanding of Danzo's character, and having learned many of Danzo's secrets after joining Root, Nonou's immediate reaction upon receiving this mission was that something was amiss. After much deliberation, she finally sent a letter to Shiraha, asking him for help.

Upon receiving the letter, Bai Yu immediately left the Land of Whirlpools and rushed to the Land of Earth.

"Bai Yu, what exactly is going on? This child says he's Kabuto..."

Nono looked completely at a loss. She had already lifted Yakushi Kabuto's mask, but she was not familiar with his appearance.

“Kabuto is clearly like this! Why?” Nono said, while quickly taking out photos of 'Yakushi Kabuto' from her pocket. These photos were received from the Root contact ninja.

Bai Yu looked at Yakushi Kabuto, who was lying on the ground unconscious. He looked very similar to his appearance in the original work, only younger. Then he sent a ball of pure Yang Release chakra into the wound on Yakushi Kabuto's right chest.

Next, Shiraha took out the latest potent treatment drug developed by the pharmaceutical company and injected it into Kabuto's body via intravenous injection.

While treating Kabuto, Shiraha took the photos from Nono's hand. These photos all showed the same person, but at different ages.

The white-haired boy in the photo looked somewhat similar to Kabuto Yakushi when he was a child. A few years later, he grew much taller, and the difference between his appearance and that of Kabuto Yakushi now became quite obvious.

"Someone's coming, let's get out of here." Bai Yu opened his senses and, after discovering that ninjas were approaching, quickly used the Summoning Jutsu to summon a large, earthen-yellow snake, which carried them away from the area.

Soon, Bai Yu found a naturally formed cave through the giant snake, placed Nono and Yakushi Kabuto inside, treated Yakushi Kabuto, and then bandaged him up.

After doing all this, Bai Yu looked at Nonou beside him and asked, "Team Leader Nonou, can you tell me the details of what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Nonou nodded, explaining with a slightly uneasy expression:

"It was a Root ninja who conveyed Danzo's order, instructing me to kill a spy planted in Iwagakure by another village before leaving, thus creating conflict between the other village and Iwagakure."

This was very unusual. Just when I was about to expose my identity, they wouldn't let me leave immediately, which is not in line with the Root's style of doing things.

Before you arrive, I am still prepared to continue this mission, because if I refuse, Danzo will definitely not let Kabuto and the children in the orphanage go.

Later in the battle, this child tore my mask. He called out my name and said he was Kabuto, but this child...”

Looking at Shiraha, Nonou felt uneasy, fearful, and deeply remorseful.

Clearly, with her intelligence, she has now calmed down and has basically guessed the reason.

“Yes.” Bai Yu nodded, pointing to the heavily injured and unconscious Yakushi Kabuto, “He is Kabuto, my chakra perception will not be wrong.”

Ordinary sensory ninjas can only sense a portion of the chakra of other chakra units, or a small part of its chakra characteristics, and cannot sense it with great precision.

Bai Yu's chakra perception ability comes from his innate magic, which allows him to sense the fluctuations of chakra energy particles in each person, and each person's energy field reaction is different.

Even among parents and siblings, there are differences.

Therefore, even though it had been several years since they last met, Bai Yu was still able to confirm that the injured ninja was Kabuto Yakushi through the fluctuations in the energy field, not to mention that Bai Yu remembered the plot he had read in the original work.

"How could this be?! This child really is Kabuto?! Why did this happen?!" Nono was incredulous, instinctively covering her face, her eyes quickly welling up with tears that streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks.

She almost killed her adopted son, her own child.

"If I'm not mistaken, Danzo switched Kabuto's photo halfway through, making you mistake him for someone else, all for this day." Bai Yu's expression darkened slightly, and he sighed, "Perhaps... Kabuto also received the same mission as you."

"I never intended to reveal the secrets of Root and Konoha!" Nonou said bitterly.

"Either you kill him, he kills you, or you both perish together. Is this how Root keeps secrets? To be so ruthless to your own people, it seems to be a Konoha tradition." To be honest, Bai Yu felt disgusted.

Even killing someone to silence them would be much better than this, just to keep the secret from being leaked!

To cause other mothers and children to kill each other, to kill one another.

Isn't this a sign of mental illness, of people carelessly playing with human lives and other people's destinies?

"Danzo!" Nono's eyes suddenly turned cold.

After joining Root and becoming a spy, her hands were stained with blood. She always believed that she was killing enemy ninjas for the sake of the village and for peace, but she never expected to receive such a reward. She almost killed her adopted son with her own hands.

She might even kill Kabuto with her own hands without realizing it, and then return to Root. Danzo might act as if nothing happened and deal with her in the next mission.

For the first time, Nono felt deeply weary of the village that had raised her; she simply could no longer love Konoha.

Such roots still exist within Konoha, and every high-ranking member bears responsibility for them.

"Come join the Uzumaki clan." Bai Yu looked at the tearful Nono and handed her a clean handkerchief, saying, "We never attack our own people."

“But…” Nonou looked at the unconscious Yakushi Kabuto in her hands with a sorrowful expression, then raised her head and looked at Shiraha: “If I don’t go back, what will happen to the other children? Even if Danzo lets them go, their lives won’t be easy.”

"Either of you two go back, or only one of you can go back, and that one can't be you!"

Bai Yu said in a deep voice.

The reason is actually quite simple, but Nono is clearly confused by her concern and has lost her rationality. At this time, she cannot return to Konoha.

Nono fell silent.

Bai Yu continued, "You know too many secrets of the Root. When you go back, Danzo will find a way to deal with you."

Even if the children in those orphanages are not doing well, their lives will not be in danger if you don't return to Konoha.

If you go back, those children will become tools to blackmail you.

You should know Danzo better than I do, and I believe he is capable of doing such a thing, right?

So, Konoha's leader, Nonou, is dead! The one alive is Director Nonou of the Uzumaki clan. The Land of Whirlpools hospital is currently short of a director, and I think you're perfect for the job!

“I…” Nono was struggling.

“Dean…” A weak voice suddenly rang out. It was Kabuto Yakushi, who was seriously injured, who had heard the conversation between the two.

"Kabuto!" Nonou rushed to Kabuto's side, looking at his pale face, she tightly grasped his hand, tears streaming down her face, and said, "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Kabuto... It's only been a few years since we last met, and I've completely forgotten what you look like. I'm not a good mother, I'm so sorry! I almost..."

"No...it's not your fault, Dean. I should feel fortunate that I didn't hurt you. If I had done such a thing, I would absolutely..." Kabuto Yakushi stopped mid-sentence.

He was about to say that if he had hurt Nono, he would never forgive himself, but when he saw Nono's heartbroken appearance, he quickly realized what he had said.

"Senior Shiraha, thank you, thank you for saving the Dean!" Yakushi Kabuto turned to look at Shiraha beside him and thanked him, but he thanked Shiraha for saving Nono, not for saving him.

"I will definitely keep my promise to myself!" Bai Yu nodded, having already understood what Yakushi Kabuto meant.

Kabuto's injuries look serious, but in fact, both he himself and Nono's medical ninjutsu skills are capable of healing him.

However, the damage to the mind is far greater than the physical damage.

Bai Yu treated him using special Yang Release chakra and a special medicine, so Yakushi Kabuto woke up very quickly.

Just as he was speaking, Bai Yu sensed a violent emotional fluctuation from Yakushi Kabuto.

That's an emotion called "confusion".

Clearly, he didn't open his eyes immediately after waking up from his coma because he didn't know how to face Nonou.

He almost did. If he hadn't cut through the mask and seen Dean Nonou's face, he would have used poison in the previous battle and might have killed Dean Nonou, the foster mother who gave him a new life and a home.

Dou would rather die than hurt the dean.

Konoha!

Danzo!

Unforgivable!

He almost lost his reason for being.

Without Dean Nono's approval, even if he still has the name Kabuto Yakushi, he has no meaning to exist. Who can he really be?

Bai Yu looked at Yakushi Kabuto in front of him with some surprise.

He had collected a variety of positive and negative emotions, including hatred, admiration, shock, and joy, but the emotion emanating from Kabuto Yakushi was so pure and powerful!

This is just a teenage ninja. His strength may be quite good, but it is only close to the level of an ordinary Jonin. However, the emotional power he contains has surpassed that of many Kage-level powerhouses.

What a pure person!

Just as Bai Yu subconsciously activated the "Chain of Emotions" to collect the emotion of "confusion," this emotion quickly transformed into "hatred."

"Dean, why don't you go to the Land of Whirlpools with Senior Shiraha? It's definitely a suitable place for someone like you to live. I'll return to Konoha and take good care of my younger brothers and sisters!"

Kabuto Yakushi continued, his voice becoming firmer, and his gaze turning colder than before, when he had appeared harmless.

Upon hearing this, Nonou's expression changed, and she quickly refused, saying, "Kabuto, I can't do that! If you return to Konoha, Danzo won't let you leave Root, and your fate will definitely be the same as mine!"

"Although I really want to go to the Land of Whirlpools with the Dean, I still have some things to do, and my younger siblings need me. Don't worry, Dean, once I've finished dealing with things in Konoha and settled my younger siblings, I'll come to the Land of Whirlpools to find you."

A smile appeared on Kabuto's face.

He used to smile genuinely when he did. But at some point, that same smile started to look fake.

He felt that when a fake smile and a genuine smile were completely identical, he could even fool himself.

"Kabuto, what are you trying to do? You can't beat Danzo!" Nono said in a flustered manner.

"Don't worry, Dean, I won't make a move until I'm absolutely certain. I must make Konoha and Danzo pay the price!"

Kabuto Yakushi maintained his smile, his expression unwavering.

Bai Yu sensed the changes in Yakushi Kabuto's emotions. Although he wasn't very strong at the moment, Bai Yu had a strange feeling that this child would definitely be able to turn Konoha upside down.

Danzo was indeed a talented individual!

When Konoha's strength reached its peak, they first joined forces with the Third Hokage to force White Fang to his death.

In previous years, he provoked the Akatsuki organization and offended Nagato, the owner of the Rinnegan, to the point of death.

Then, during the election for the Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru was forced to defect.

The Land of Whirlpools is short of talent, so he wants to kill medical ninja geniuses like Nono and Kabuto.

It seems that to gain the power of the Uchiha clan, we must rely on Danzo's strong assistance.

"Kabuto, do you know what you'll face if you return to Konoha?" Bai Yu asked seriously.

"I'm mentally prepared!" Kabuto Yakushi said without hesitation.

“But being mentally prepared and having the ability are two different things. Even if Team Leader Nonou returns to the Land of Whirlpools with me, she will live in constant fear because of you. Do you understand?”

Bai Yu said in a deep voice.

"..." Kabuto Yakushi paused, looking at Nono with a shameful expression.

“However, your determination to take revenge on Konoha is admirable, so…” Bai Yu patted Yakushi Kabuto on the shoulder, then changed the subject, “If you encounter any difficulties that you can’t solve when you return to Konoha, you can go to the people on the scroll, and they will guarantee your safety.”

As she spoke, Shiraha looked at Nono: "This is also my promise."

Kabuto was stunned. He had thought that Senior Shiraha would oppose his decision like the Dean, but he hadn't expected that Senior Shiraha would even think of his backup plan.
