Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Kushina can now mobilize a significant portion of her chakra for combat with the help of Kurama. However, the quality of tailed beast chakra far surpasses that of humans, so even with Kurama's assistance, the human body cannot fully withstand it. Kushina is missing a crucial element.

According to Kurama, Kushina's blood relationship with the Sage of Six Paths was not close enough, so she could not fully control its power.

boom--!

From Bai Yu's perspective, various energy particles in the witch formation rapidly went berserk, then rushed into the Tailed Beast Jade that had accumulated in Hankou.

By the time Han and Go-O realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Just as the Tailed Beast Ball was about to be completely completed, cracks suddenly appeared on it, and violent energy particles, carrying extremely compressed Yin and Yang chakra, produced a tremendous explosion.

"what!"

Han let out a scream as he was blasted into the air by the shockwave of the explosion. He had taken a Tailed Beast Ball at point-blank range, which contained a large number of energy particles. Even though he had already entered a semi-Tailed Beast transformation, this blow nearly killed him.

Flames shot into the sky, and a huge mushroom cloud rose into the heavens. The resulting high-pressure shockwave spread outwards, instantly shattering the surrounding trees, and sending sand and dirt flying everywhere.

Bai Yu's figure flashed, and he leaped into the sky. The white scales on his body had a 100% increase in magic resistance. In addition, with the crimson aura surrounding him, Bai Yu was completely unaffected even at the center of the explosion, which was filled with high temperature and negative energy radiation particles.

His outstretched right fist, amplified by the force of the attack, expanded rapidly like an inflating balloon, striking Han squarely in the chest from above.

boom!

Han's body plummeted as if hit by a cannonball, crashing into the ground and creating a large crater, embedding itself deeply into the bottom of the hole.

Suffering repeated heavy blows, the tailed beast chakra cloak covering Han's body instantly disintegrated, and he reverted from his half-tailed beast state back to human form, severely injured and unconscious.

Bai Yu landed beside Han, looked at the remaining splashes of chakra around him, and took out a specially made metal container to collect them.

"The improved anti-magic array is really powerful!" Bai Yu muttered the incantation, slapped his hands on the ground, and deactivated the array he had set up beforehand. This array was a consumable item, and Bai Yu would naturally not waste it if he could use it a few more times, so he deactivated the array as soon as the battle ended.

Tailed beast chakra can be materialized, and it also contains the cells of the tailed beast. It should be useful for improving Bai Yu's bloodline purity. It's just a pity that after the quality of the Nine-Tails' chakra cells reached perfection, it became ineffective in improving Bai Yu's bloodline purity. The same chakra cells cannot produce the same effect repeatedly, which was within Bai Yu's expectations.

"The power of the Tailed Beast Ball..." After collecting the Five-Tails' chakra, Bai Yu looked at the weak man and couldn't help but gasp. This was only the Five-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball. If it were the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, it would be even more terrifying.

Bai Yu felt fortunate that Kushina and Kurama were on his side.

It is a powerful level one magic array recorded in the text, but it only works on magic apprentices below level one. When activated, it can interfere with energy particles within the range, causing all magic apprentices inside to be disturbed, increasing the difficulty of casting spells by more than ten times. Simply put, magic apprentices cannot cast level 0 spells at all inside.

However, this was quite useless to Bai Yu. He could defeat a wizard apprentice with a single punch even without using magic, so there was no need to use such a wide-range magic array. Only some families or academies in the wizarding world of the previous life could use such magic arrays, or some secret realms.

However, Bai Yu discovered that this defensive magic array, combined with this spell and sealing technique, could interfere with the use of chakra.

This was specially developed by Shiraha to deal with Jinchuriki.

Unfortunately, in the battle against Kushina, it was not very effective against a true Jinchuriki like her, as Kurama was connected to her mind and the interference was limited.

This improved version can forcibly mix other energy particles into the Yin-Yang Chakra when the Jinchuriki uses the Tailed Beast Ball, and the most disruptive of these is natural energy.

Although tailed beasts refine chakra by absorbing natural energy, only Kurama (the Nine-Tails) can use Sage Mode; the other eight tailed beasts cannot.

Therefore, when Kushina used the Tailed Beast Ball with Kurama, the natural energy that was forcibly mixed in was eliminated by Kurama itself.

Of course, when the experiment was conducted, Kushina, Kurama, and Shiraha were all on the sea surface, and they used a small Tailed Beast Ball, since Shiraha didn't want to destroy the Land of Whirlpools peninsula.

It seems that it's only useless against Kushina and Kurama, but it's a powerful weapon against Jinchūriki like Han.

After all, if a Jinchuriki cannot use the Tailed Beast Ball, the threat is very limited, at least for Shiraha.

He sensed Han's location from the very beginning, so he appeared underground at the location where the Cloud Village and Iwa Village ninjas were fighting early on, and set up a trap covering an area of ​​several hundred meters in advance, just to wait for Han's arrival.

In the past, many battles were fought with gritted teeth, but now that there is time to prepare in advance, Bai Yu will not be careless when facing any opponent.

He waited until Han appeared before appearing, which was actually because he was prepared, not just to pretend that he would follow closely behind.

In summary, although Bai Yu was not very clear about Han and the Five-Tails' specific abilities, he was well prepared from the beginning and had more trump cards than he could use.

"Hmm? They arrived really quickly! And there are quite a few people!"

Bai Yu raised his head and looked northwest, then quickly formed hand seals and patted Han's chest and abdomen.

Four Symbols Seal + Five Elements Seal!

It completely locked up Han's chakra, who was severely injured.

Then, Bai Yu lifted the nearly 2.3-meter-tall man up as easily as if he were a chick.

He quickly ran towards the southeast.

Bai Yu did not intend to kill Han or bring him back to the Whirlpool Clan.

The tailed beasts are too hot to handle right now. The Uzumaki clan has not even officially established a nation yet, but they already possess the strongest tailed beast, the Nine-Tails.

Moreover, Rin is secretly the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails. If there were another Five-Tails now, the Kage of the other four great ninja villages probably wouldn't be able to sleep well.

We have already obtained the Five-Tails' chakra cells. For the Uzumaki clan now, the Five-Tails is just icing on the cake and doesn't mean much.

Killing Han would cause the Five-Tails to dissipate, only to revive a few years later. This would lead to an irreconcilable conflict between the Uzumaki clan and Iwagakure. A large-scale war now would be extremely detrimental to the Uzumaki clan's development.

The living Han, and the Five-Tails with the hope of returning, are the most valuable to Shiraha and Iwagakure.

Of course, if Iwagakure wants Han to return alive, they can forget about it without suffering a severe injury.

Bai Yu's slap was meant to swell up the face of Iwagakure, and then he'd rub it for them.

As long as he and Kushina are still alive, Iwagakure will not fight them to the death.

"Sigh...it's tough being a manager!" Bai Yu carried Han as he sped through the mountains and forests, pondering how much compensation to ask Iwagakure for. After all, he had a large family to support, and Shion had been 'frightened' again. A few hundred million taels shouldn't be unreasonable at all.

"stop!"

A sharp shout came from the sky, interrupting Bai Yu's thoughts.

A short, white-haired old man flew down directly from above the clouds. He was none other than the Third Tsuchikage, one of the Five Kage of the time, and known as the "Onoki of the Two Scales".

Seeing this, Bai Yu grabbed Han and jumped up to the top of the tree, ten meters high, to wait for Onoki's arrival.

Onoki descended rapidly from the air and stopped about twenty meters away from Shiraha.

Looking at the heavily injured and unconscious Han in Shiraha's arms, Onoki frowned deeply, his face grim as he looked down at him: "You are... Yagami Shiraha!? You actually attacked our Iwagakure's Jinchūriki! Does the Uzumaki clan want to start a war against our Iwagakure?! You don't think our Iwagakure is as weak and easily bullied as Kirigakure, do you?!"

Bai Yu remained calm, and said with a mocking tone, "You certainly know how to play the victim."

"You!" Onoki glared, his beard bristling, then narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean by that?"

"You people from Iwagakure dare to kidnap my daughter? Do you really want to start a war with our Uzumaki clan?" Bai Yu's expression turned cold.

Sensing Shiraha's cold tone, Onoki's expression changed slightly as he asked, "Your daughter?"

Bai Yu: "Shion, the priestess of the Land of Demons, is my daughter, and the major shareholder of the Serpent Spirit Group is our Uzumaki clan! Your previous underhanded tactics were at least business competition, which I couldn't be bothered with. But now you dare to kidnap my daughter. I guess you want to try the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball too, don't you?"

Onoki: "What evidence do you have to prove that it was Iwagakure who did it?"

"My words are the evidence!" Bai Yu said firmly.

Upon hearing this, Onoki narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in them: "Young people these days have less and less respect for their elders."

"If the outcome of the Fourth Shinobi World War were determined by seniority and age, Iwagakure would definitely be the strongest."

Bai Yu retorted.

A murderous glint flashed in Onoki's eyes. He clasped his hands together in front of him, his fingers touching, forming a triangle. A semi-transparent cylindrical barrier quickly formed in the palms of his hands.

Bai Yu felt a chill run down his spine, sensing a sense of crisis, but his face remained unusually calm as he said:

"Is this the Bloodstained Elimination Dust Escape technique? I've heard it can break down matter to the atomic level, but I wonder if it can distinguish friend from foe?"

As he spoke, Bai Yu brought the unconscious Han to his front.

The cylindrical barrier in Onoki's palm grew larger and larger. He sneered and said, "If it can kill you, then Han's death will have been worthwhile."

Although he said that, Onoki did not make a move, because judging from Shiraha's appearance, he seemed very confident in dodging. After all, he was a man who could match the speed of the Third Raikage, and Shiraha would have to rely on a sneak attack to hit him with Dust Release.

Moreover, Onoki would definitely be reluctant to kill all the men in his own village as well.

Unlike the aloof Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Han was highly respected in the village and had made many contributions to it. As the Third Tsuchikage, how could he possibly kill him?

Moreover, the most crucial point is that there is an even stronger Kushina in the Uzumaki clan. If Shiraha is killed, the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball might really fall into the center of Iwagakure.

Even if they manage to defeat Kushina with the full strength of the village, Iwagakure's strength would likely regress by several decades, becoming the weakest of the five great ninja villages, and then be destroyed in the subsequent Shinobi World War. This is something Onoki doesn't want to see.

In this incident, they were in the wrong for kidnapping Ziyuan, and the most crucial point is that they were in the wrong but hadn't even beaten anyone.

If he had known that Shion was Shiraha's daughter and that the Uzumaki clan was behind the Land of Demons, he definitely wouldn't have used this method.

Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets.

As one of the Five Kage of the present day, Onoki is well-versed in the art of negotiation. Even if he is in the wrong, he will not back down right away.

"You can try and see if your Dust Release is faster or my speed is faster," Bai Yu said confidently, looking at Onoki. Then he glanced at the sword in his hand and said, "I will snap his neck before I can dodge. After that, Iwagakure will be the mortal enemy of our Uzumaki clan!"

Onoki's face darkened: "Are you threatening me?"

“I’m giving you a chance, and also giving both of us a chance. Otherwise, I would have killed him to vent my anger,” Bai Yu added.

Onoki's eyes flickered, then he clasped his hands together, dispelling Dust Release, and said in a deep voice, "What are your conditions?"

"I don't like it when people talk to me in a condescending manner," Bai Yu said calmly.

Onoki frowned, but still took the initiative to land at the same level as Shiraha.

Bai Yu: "Forty billion taels!"

"What?!" Onoki exclaimed, "Are you crazy?!"

"Isn't a Kage-level powerhouse plus a whole Five-Tails worth forty billion taels?" Bai Yu retorted.

"The reason why Iwagakure and Konoha continued to fight was because we refused to accept the 500 million ryo in reparations demanded by Konoha. If the Third Hokage had not agreed to waive the reparations, the war would have continued."

Onoki said with a sullen face, "When Bai Yu made his demands just now, even with his composure, I almost couldn't resist using a Dust Release technique."

Deceiving too much!

"The third generation agreed to waive war reparations, which shows his magnanimity. But I am very petty, extremely petty. If anyone dares to provoke me, I will definitely retaliate tenfold, a hundredfold!" Bai Yu said coldly.

Ōnoki managed to say with difficulty, "At most five hundred million taels!"

"At least 1.5 billion taels. If it's less, I'll kill him. As for capturing the Five-Tails, that's up to each of us to decide!" Bai Yu's attitude was resolute. He lifted Han Gao high and tightened his wrist slightly.

"Wait!" Seeing that Bai Yu was really going to strangle Han, Onoki panicked.

A single Kage-level shinobi is worth far more than money, not to mention that Han recently became a perfect Jinchūriki, which is of great significance to Iwagakure.

Unexpectedly, he was forced into this situation right at his own doorstep. Onoki felt extremely aggrieved and cursed the person who suggested kidnapping Shion a hundred times.

“Iwagakure doesn’t have that much money right now…” Onoki said in a deep voice. Actually, it wasn’t that Iwagakure couldn’t come up with the money, but that losing 1.5 billion ryo would affect the village’s mission operations. After all, Iwagakure was located in a remote mountain village, making it difficult to receive individual mission requests.

"Pay 500 million taels in cash first, and the remaining 1 billion taels will be settled with an equivalent amount of goods. The stone from the Land of Earth has always been of the highest quality in the entire ninja world, so we will use stone and minerals to settle the debt."
