Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Of course, even if the Libra people were taught the magic of the Dragon Cave, they might not be able to learn it, since the threshold for practicing magic is extremely high.

However, Jugo seems to be an exception. His physique is very special. He will also go berserk when he absorbs a lot of natural energy, and his body will be greatly enhanced, with all his abilities being improved. But as long as his chakra is almost depleted, he will return to normal, instead of going berserk and dying like the average Libran.

Bai Yu had already figured this out when he took Jugo to Ryuchi Cave some time ago.

"You must be hungry. Let's go eat together," Bai Yu said, looking at the silent Jugo.

"Yes, Lord Shiraha," Jugo replied respectfully.

He was originally the last remaining member of the Libra clan. He was rescued by Orochimaru and then traded to Shiraha. However, he lived a good life during his time with the Uzumaki clan.

The man in front of me, named Bai Yu, is the actual controller of the Uzumaki clan. In the recent conflict with Kirigakure, he defeated Kirigakure, one of the five great ninja villages. He is definitely one of the few people standing at the top of the ninja world.

However, Jugo found that Shiraha was very kind and friendly, and did not treat him as an object. Although he cooperated with the experiments, he would make full preparations before each examination and experiment, and repeatedly reminded himself that if he felt any discomfort during the examination or experiment, he could speak up to remind others at any time.

In fact, that's exactly what Bai Yu did.

Normally, Jugo would eat and study with Haku, Kimimaro, and Hakuha's children, Taichi and Mitsuko.

When Bai Yu was instructing him on ninja knowledge, he did not treat him as an outsider at all.

In just one month, he developed deep friendships with Kimimaro and Haku. Even Taichi and Mitsuko treated him like an older brother, rather than a patient who might go crazy at any moment.

This kind of equal, friendly, and stable living environment was something that Shigeo had never dared to imagine before.

This made Jugo feel at home.

He even thought it would be wonderful if he could stay with the Uzumaki clan.

Since Orochimaru saved his life, he had to return to Orochimaru's side.

"It won't be long before I can develop a special medicine based on your blood. That should be able to alleviate the uncontrolled natural energy within you. Actually, the best way is to help you control this power..."

Bai Yu nodded, secretly thinking it was a bit of a pity.

Jugo possesses the talent of a wizard, which is initially estimated to be high-level talent.

Wizarding talents are divided into five levels: low, medium, high, special, and super.

Those with high-level talent have the opportunity to advance to the rank of a formal wizard.

At Bai Yu's current level, his soul talent is already close to the super level. After advancing to a formal wizard (sorcerer), his talent will still be useful, but it will be more about the accumulation of knowledge.

Apprentices with high-level talent are dispensable to him. Even if Jugo has exceptional talent, he wouldn't break his promise to Orochimaru and force Jugo to stay.

In fact, if Bai Yu were to teach Chongwu the wizard meditation method, even the basic meditation method he used in his previous life, it would help Chongwu control his mental power caused by the surge of natural energy and completely solve the problem of mental instability.

However, since Jugo is Orochimaru's man, Shiraha wouldn't go to such lengths.

Of course, if Orochimaru merges with Hakuba's blood, then Jugo will naturally be one of us, and it won't be too late to let him practice meditation techniques then.

This was a huge success!

Shigeo's unique physique gave Shiraha an idea: to use his blood to develop a special medicine that would act as a catalyst, continuously absorbing natural energy.

If we can find a way to stabilize natural energy, we can make the originally intangible natural energy accumulate into tangible objects.

Bai Yu plans to name it "Celestial Art Potion".

This would greatly lower the barrier to entry for cultivating immortal arts.

Bai Yu never practiced the Sage Techniques of Ryuchi Cave because the process of practicing the Meditation Method involves absorbing various free energy particles in the space and then converting them into magic power and spiritual power. Therefore, the quality of his magic power is no less than that of Sage Chakra. He has been keeping magic power of the same quality as Sage Chakra in his body all the time, continuously enhancing his spiritual power and physical constitution.

The brief burst of Sage Chakra was not what he urgently needed.

After obtaining the fourth-level bloodline source, Bai Yu was not afraid that the White Snake Immortal and the three goddesses would cause trouble when he practiced immortal arts in Dragon Land Cave. However, he had previously discovered that if he practiced the immortal arts in Dragon Land Cave, it would pollute his bloodline and cause the purity of his bloodline to decrease. This startled Bai Yu.

Therefore, unless it's the legendary Six Paths Sage Technique that Nine-Tailed Fox mentioned, Bai Yu has no intention of learning sage techniques.

However, Kushina's chakra training has stalled. With years of recuperation, the Nine-Tails' chakra has gradually returned to its peak, and its chakra reserves are becoming increasingly vast. Even Kushina cannot control the power of the complete Nine-Tails, so learning the so-called Six Paths Sage Mode is not something that can be done in a short time.

Cultivation is inherently a process of accumulation; even if one has extraordinary abilities, there are still fundamental principles to follow.

If a special "immortal potion" is developed, it would be equivalent to developing a new immortal technique, different from the immortal techniques of the three holy lands that clearly have biological characteristics and affect bloodlines, and also different from the Six Paths Immortal Techniques.

The entry threshold for this kind of magic is very low. Even if it cannot be widely promoted, long-term use of "magic potions" will make the body more and more adapted to natural energy, eventually allowing one to become one with natural energy and instantly cast magic.

Of course, Bai Yu currently only has a prototype of the "immortal potion". If he really wants to succeed, it will probably take several years, or even more than ten years of experimentation.

However, Bai Yu was not in a hurry. Whether it was establishing a country, researching fragments of mythical creatures, or planning the shells of mythical creatures, none of these were things that could be accomplished overnight.

As long as the Uzumaki clan develops steadily and grows stronger, everything is possible.

As soon as Bai Yu and Jugo stepped out of the underground laboratory and arrived outside the central building, a ninja dressed in a black robe rushed over and appeared in front of them, kneeling on one knee and saying, "Lord Bai Yu, intelligence has come from the Land of Demons."

"Information from the Land of Demons." Bai Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, took the scroll and began to examine it. Soon, a cold smile appeared on his face: "Iwagakure also wants a share of the pie. This attitude probably won't work. Onoki, interesting."

As he spoke, Bai Yu looked at the ninja who was delivering the message and said, "Go back and tell Miroku that she doesn't need to worry about the Iwagakure matter; I will handle it."

"Yes!"

Once the messenger ninja left, Bai Yu immediately notified Kodama remotely via soul connection.

Unless the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, takes direct action, there is no need for him to personally intervene.

Unless someone in their right mind, Iwagakure wouldn't challenge the Uzumaki clan again when they've just defeated Kirigakure and are riding high on their success.

After all, Konoha was a thorn in the side of the other villages.

......

Konoha Village.

Rows of tall buildings stood side by side, and the streets were bustling with people. The sounds of vendors hawking their wares, children playing, and parents scolding each other filled the air. Konoha had once again returned to its former prosperity.

The Third Shinobi World War has completely ended.

Even Kirigakure, which had been waging local wars with Konoha, experienced an internal riot after suffering heavy losses with the Uzumaki clan. The Third Mizukage was ambushed and seriously injured by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. He died a few months after returning to the village due to the severity of his injuries.

Now, the newly appointed Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, Yagura, has decided to reconcile with Konoha.

Having just finished a day's mission, Shisui returned to the Uchiha clan's territory.

He could clearly sense that the way his people looked at him was different.

For some, the Uchiha clan's entry into the Anbu was a compromise by the higher-ups, but for many other ninjas, Shisui was a traitor to his clan.

After he joined the Anbu, the Uchiha clan did not obtain any high-level intelligence from him. On the contrary, the Uchiha's situation became increasingly difficult, and the clan was now divided into three factions: the radical faction, the conservative faction, and the independent faction.

Significant internal divisions have emerged, and none of the conditions promised by the top leadership have been fulfilled.

The situation is becoming increasingly tense.

Shisui also received a lot of criticism. If it weren't for his own strength and his close relationship with Uchiha Issei, a newly promoted strongman of the Uchiha clan, he would probably have been frequently harassed by his clansmen.

"Brother Zhishui!"

Despite the cold words of his clansmen, Shisui maintained his smile. Just as he reached the corner of the street, a familiar voice called out from behind him.

A handsome young man quickly ran up to Shisui; it was none other than the clan leader's son, Uchiha Itachi.

Itachi entered the Uchiha clan at the age of 6, graduated at the age of 7 and became a genin, and awakened the Sharingan with two tomoe at the age of 8. Now he is the most outstanding ninja of the new generation of the Uchiha clan, and has even attracted the attention of the higher-ups. The clan head, Fugaku Uchiha, has also seen a reduction in pressure within the clan because he has raised such an outstanding son.

The Uchiha clan's excellence was once again displayed before the world.

With strong individuals emerging generation after generation, and geniuses appearing in endless succession, no one can ignore the power of the Uchiha clan.

"Itachi, did you just finish a mission too?" Shisui asked with a smile.

"Yes, Brother Zhishui."

Itachi smiled broadly. Apart from his family, Shisui was the person he was closest to, and he regarded Shisui as his own brother.

"Brother Shisui, can you train with me?" Itachi continued, "I want to practice shuriken."

"Given your shuriken skills, I'm afraid I can't teach you," Shisui smiled slightly. "However, I can teach you some interesting illusion techniques, how about it?"

"Yes!" Itachi nodded heavily, his face full of excitement.

“But I’m a little hungry now. How about we go to the dumpling shop and have some three-color dumplings? It’s on me!” Shisui suggested.

Itachi's eyes lit up, and he nodded again.

"Then let me go home and change my clothes," Zhishui continued.

After Shisui changed into casual clothes, he and Itachi went to the dumpling shop.

At this moment, Issei (Shiraha) is eating dumplings in a dumpling shop, and the person he is talking to at the same table is Hyuga Eito.

"Issei-kun." Shisui waved with a smile. Since talking with Issei (Baiyu) and joining the Anbu on his own, Shisui's views on the higher-ups and the family have changed significantly. Although he still wants to protect the family and village in his own way, his thoughts are no longer as simple as before.

"Shisui, come sit here." Ichisei (Baiyu) beckoned.

"Itachi, let's go." Shisui said to Itachi behind him.

The four sat at a table together. Yicheng (Baiyu) carefully examined the Uchiha Itachi in front of him, who looked somewhat naive, as if trying to see through him.

"This guy's ninja talent is really outrageous!" Issei (Shiraha) thought to himself.

At this moment, on the high-rise building opposite the dumpling shop, in the shadow of the water tank hanging down from the top floor, there were two ninjas shrouded in black robes. Both of them wore masks with special patterns and kept a close eye on the four people who were talking.

[177. Chapter 176 Dramatic Change (Part Two)]

Bai Yu, Yingren, Shisui, and Itachi chatted happily, laughing and talking.

Two hours passed quickly.

Although Bai Yu did not tell Ying Ren the true identity of his avatar, he had told Ying Ren before when Ying Ren went to the Uzumaki clan that Uchiha Issei was someone who could be absolutely trusted. Therefore, Ying Ren did not hesitate at all and chose to trust Bai Yu and Uchiha Issei.

Recently, Bai Yu has made great progress in his research on the 'Caged Bird' curse seal, which is why he has been meeting with Ying Ren frequently.

Of course, he was aware of the ANBU ninja's surveillance, but he didn't intend to hide it; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

At that moment, in the shadows on the rooftop, one of the Root ninjas said to his companion, "You continue to keep watch here. I'll go report to Lord Danzo. Recently, the Uchiha and Hyuga people have been in too much contact."

“Hmm.” Another Root ninja nodded and remained in place to keep watch.

Since the Uchiha clan supported the Uzumaki clan and together they defeated Kirigakure, the Uchiha ninjas have witnessed Hakuba's powerful strength and charisma as a leader, and they have developed a much better impression of the Uzumaki clan.

This is precisely the situation that the Konoha leadership least wanted to see. The reason they sent people to support the Uzumaki clan was mainly due to the constraints of the alliance, which forced them to go.

In any case, the Uchiha clan has always been at odds with the higher-ups, and has been an enemy of the Uzumaki clan since the Warring States period. The higher-ups are happy to let them do this thankless task.
