Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

"Hmph!" Danzo snorted coldly, got up and left, but paused just before leaving the room:

"Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"

[171. Leave Request]

I'm still not asleep at this hour; I have insomnia.

My finger joints are still sore, so I'm taking a day off to rest.

I'll see a doctor tomorrow. I hope it's not tenosynovitis, otherwise it might tear.

[172. Chapter 171: The Sick World]

Heavy snow was falling from the sky, covering the earth in a blanket of white.

Two people arrived outside the remote village.

A man shrouded in a black robe and wearing a white swirling mask, and a beautiful woman in the dead of winter wearing a backless dress that exposed large expanses of her snow-white skin.

It was Shiraha and Yekura.

After Bai Yu rescued Ye Cang and suggested that she join the organization, Ye Cang joined the 'Infinite Ring' with almost no hesitation.

Even if Yekura is naive, she understands the reason for this incident.

On the surface, she was sent as an envoy from Sunagakure to form an alliance with Kirigakure, but in reality, she was only sent to Kirigakure to vent their anger and quell the rage generated by the previous battle.

As for whether he made great contributions to Sunagakure, who would care?

Just recently, Yekura learned from Sunagakure that Sunagakure had officially allied with Kirigakure. After the alliance was formed, she bravely sacrificed herself to help Kirigakure ninjas who were attacked by an unknown force.

Everything was planned!

The ninjas and villagers of Sunagakure all called her a 'hero'.

Everyone benefited from the whole affair. The Fourth Kazekage eliminated this threat and could make all the decisions in Sunagakure alone; the ninjas no longer needed to worry about continuing the war with Kirigakure; and the villagers could live in peace.

She's the only one who's 'injured'... Why?!

At this moment, Ye Cang, who was always kind and gentle, was now only cold and numb. Looking at the masked man beside her, she calmly said, "Kogare, if we can't find any survivors with the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, shouldn't we leave this place?"

After the Snow Clan was wiped out, the surviving members scattered and fled, all hiding their identities. Bai Yu only found two survivors, but unfortunately, neither of them had awakened their Ice Release bloodline limit.

Therefore, Bai Yu could only resort to a clumsy method: traveling throughout the Land of Water and searching in some remote mountain villages.

Along the way, they found three more survivors, but unfortunately, none of them had awakened their Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.

These people were unwilling to leave with Bai Yu, so Bai Yu gave them some money in exchange for some of their blood.

"Hmm, let's look again. If we still can't find it, we'll take Kimimaro with us and prepare to leave. Speaking of which, you have an acquaintance in the organization who is also from Sunagakure."

Bai Yu nodded.

The plan did not go as smoothly as he had imagined. The Kaguya clan was found, but they had no intention of leaving the Land of Water and even declared their intention to overthrow the corrupt regime of Kirigakure, preparing to launch an attack on Kirigakure in the near future.

Bai Yu couldn't comment on this behavior.

For the Kaguya clan, which was already on its last legs and had few ninjas who could even awaken the Shikotsumyaku, to attack Kirigakure would be tantamount to suicide.

In particular, they made no attempt to hide anything, not only telling Bai Yu directly, but also making a big show of their plan to attack Kirigakure.

Of course, Bai Yu wasn't very interested in those Kaguya clan members who hadn't awakened their Corpse Bone Vein.

However, since Kaguya Kimimaro still needs to stay with her clan, Bai Yu plans to collect some of the Kaguya clan's body parts when they attack and annihilate the clan, and then take Kimimaro away.

This child, at the age of seven or eight, had already awakened the Corpse Bone Vein, and Bai Yu was determined to obtain him.

In the first part of the story, both Kimimaro and Kabuto were Orochimaru's subordinates.

Orochimaru certainly had a lot of talented people under his command, but since Bai Yu made the first move, these people naturally belonged to him.

Anyway, he's quite familiar with Orochimaru, so Orochimaru probably won't have any objections.

By bringing these talents who originally belonged to Orochimaru back in advance, especially since Orochimaru lost Kabuto Yakushi, a genius in medical ninjutsu, his reincarnation experiments will definitely be affected.

What Bai Yu wanted was for Orochimaru to come to him on his own initiative, preferably to join the Uzumaki clan directly. Only in this way would Orochimaru be willing to work for him.

"Also from Sunagakure?" Yecang was taken aback. She remembered that Sunagakure had not produced any rogue ninja in recent years, and she couldn't imagine who would join the 'Infinite Ring', an organization she had never heard of before.

However, just because there was a strong person like Mu Ling in the organization, Ye Cang had full confidence in the organization.

She wants to take revenge on Sunagakure, or at the very least on the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, and expose his hypocritical and treacherous true nature.

"You'll know when you meet him," Bai Yu said with a smile, maintaining an air of mystery.

"Then let's go in quickly!" Ye Cang nodded and walked into the village.

The village was small, and Bai Yu and Ye Cang had already passed half of the houses in just a few minutes.

Just as they were about to reach the end, they suddenly heard a scream: "Ah—!"

"Let's go take a look." Bai Yu's expression changed, and he quickly rushed towards the source of the sound.

Outside a thatched hut piled high with snow, stood a dozen or so villagers holding hoes and sickles. The pungent smell of blood and the sounds of crying and screaming emanated from inside the hut.

Who are you people?!

The villagers looked at the two people who had suddenly appeared with wary expressions.

Bai Yu sensed the unusual chakra fluctuations inside the thatched hut. His expression behind his mask shifted slightly, and he glanced coldly at the group, saying indifferently, "The Hidden Mist Pursuit Team."

"what?!"

"Oh my god!"

"The ninja master of Kirigakure!"

The villagers' expressions changed drastically, and some of them were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

The Hidden Mist's hunting squad specializes in hunting down bloodline ninjas within the Land of Water. Any village or force that fails to report a bloodline ninja or harbors one will be subjected to bloody suppression, and it is very likely that everyone will be implicated because of one bloodline ninja.

Only ninja clans like the Kaguya clan, which live together as a single clan, are not currently the target of Kirigakure's direct assault.

The main reason why the Yuki clan was wiped out was that their clan members did not live together in a community, and they initially trusted Kirigakure too much, which led to their extermination in the sudden attack by Kirigakure.

"Master Ninja, we really didn't mean to protect these monsters!"

Please let us go!

The villagers all knelt down. They had no doubt about Bai Yu's identity, because only those damned ninjas from Kirigakure would have such a cold and ruthless look in their eyes.

Bai Yu walked through the villagers and entered the house. Inside, he saw a young man holding a blood-stained hoe, and in front of him lay a woman whose clothes were soaked in blood. She was struggling to hold onto the man's trouser leg and crying, "Husband...please! Let Bai go...he is innocent."

In the corner of the room, a boy with messy hair and delicate features, who looked like a girl, was curled up. His face showed a look of terror, a mixture of fear and grief, and tears fell uncontrollably.

His father killed his mother with his own hands in front of him.

The reason was simply that he was able to control the water flow and float in the air while playing in the snow.

Bai didn't understand what he had done wrong.

Bai Yu could clearly sense that the young man was just an ordinary person, while the injured woman on the ground possessed considerable chakra, at least at the Chunin level. With her abilities, she could easily defeat dozens of these ordinary people, even if they were armed, but she didn't seem to put up any resistance.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" The young man wept bitterly, repeatedly apologizing, but the hoe in his hand swung down once more towards the woman who was already seriously injured and dying.

Before Bai Yu could make a move, Ye Cang had already acted. She flashed to the young man's side, dodged the hoe in his hand, and shoved him to the ground.

"Who are you people?" the young man asked in a panic.

"Shut up! They are adults from Kirigakure, kneel down!" The villagers outside the room quickly crawled in, pressed the young man down, and made him kneel.

"I...I've already killed my wife. If I kill my son too, then...you won't be able to lay a hand on the villagers!"

The young man suddenly mustered his courage and said.

Ye Cang glared fiercely at the young man, then helped up the woman covered in blood and looked at Bai Yu.

Bai Yu glanced at the woman, shook his head slightly, and said that she was beyond saving.

He was able to use Sage Mode chakra to prolong Rin Nohara's life when her heart was pierced, because she still had the will to live.

This woman was already determined to die; such a person was beyond saving, especially since her internal organs had been smashed by the hoe.

The reason she was able to speak just now was probably because of her mother's love.

"You, come with us." Bai Yu looked at Bai, who was huddled in the corner, and said.

Yekura picked up the woman's gradually cooling body.

"Quick! Go with Lord Kirigakure!" the villagers shouted anxiously.

"Bai, you...you have to leave!"

The young man also spoke up.

Bai trembled, but still managed to stand up unsteadily. He understood that if he didn't go with these people, everyone would die.

As Bai Yu and Ye Cang led the woman and Bai away, the villagers hurriedly shouted, "Thank you, sir!"

Once they were out of the village, the woman in Ye Cang's arms suddenly spoke: "Please...please..."

"What?" Ye Cang stopped abruptly.

Bai Yu sent a ball of Yang Release chakra into her body, and the woman seemed to have a final burst of energy before death. Her originally pale face regained its rosy color, and she regained the strength to speak: "Please...please take care of...take care of Bai for me."

After saying this, the woman's eyes remained fixed on Bai Yu and Ye Cang: "I...I know you...are not...Kirigakure ninjas. If they were, they...would...kill...us directly, so...please..."

"Don't worry, we will," Bai Yu said solemnly.

"Thank you..." The woman, having received Bai Yu's affirmative answer, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had instantly lost all her strength.

"Bai, don't blame your father, he wasn't wrong..."

The woman turned to look at Bai, wanting to say a few more words, but after suddenly relaxing, she lost all her energy and closed her eyes forever.

Bai Yu never imagined that he could obtain such intense emotional power from a ninja whose strength was only at the Chunin level.

"Despair" and "hope," two opposing emotions, are perfectly embodied in one person.

"Mom!" Bai, who had been expressionless, suddenly burst into tears and hugged his mother tightly in her final moments.
