Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

The next second, all twelve ice crystals surrounding Kimimaro emitted a dazzling white light, piercing the eyes of the children around them. Just as everyone was about to cover their eyes, Bai Yu gently waved his hand, and a semi-transparent magical shield covered all the children around them. Although the children still felt the white light was dazzling, they did not feel any discomfort in their eyes.

Ding Ding Ding!

In Bai Yu's sight, the moment the white light of the ice crystals disappeared, Bai's body quickly moved among the twelve ice crystals, while releasing Thousand Books.

From other people's perspective, it seemed as if there was a white entity within each ice crystal, and countless thousands of them shot towards Kimimaro.

With Bai Yu's guidance, the two made great progress compared to the original storyline.

It has to be said that the compatibility between their breathing techniques and chakra in their previous lives was ridiculously high. Both of them were only eight or nine years old, but ordinary Chunin would probably be no match for them.

click!

Seeing that Haku was getting serious, Kimimaro stopped holding back. His originally fair skin gradually became rough. He put his left hand behind his back, and then, to everyone's astonishment, he pulled out his own spine, which transformed into a huge, sharp bone whip. With a swing of his left hand, he knocked down all the senbon needles that were shooting towards him.

The few senbon needles that pierced through his bone whip defense network only managed to puncture Kimimaro's skin after striking his skin.

brush!

Haku emerged from the ice crystal above Kimimaro's head and flew toward the ice crystal behind him.

At this moment, eight more senbon needles appeared in Bai's hands. Just before his body entered the ice crystal, he had already reached Kimimaro's blind spot. He only needed to shoot the senbon needles to attack the weak point in Kimimaro's back of the head. However, he hesitated for a moment.

Because of Haku's hesitation, Kimimaro reacted, wielding his left-hand bone whip to block the Senbon needles, while simultaneously thrusting his right-hand bone sword into Haku's body and into the ice crystals.

A crisp snapping sound.

The ice crystal shattered, and Bai's body fell out and crashed to the ground.

puff!

Kimimaro's bone sword continued its momentum, grazing his white temples as it plunged deep into the ground.

"Kimimaro, you're amazing, I lost again!" A shy smile appeared on Haku's face. At first glance, he really did look no different from a girl, and even looked more delicate and cute than a girl.

"I'm sorry, I was too focused on winning or losing." Kimimaro felt a little embarrassed when he noticed the shallow cut on Shiro's cheek from the bone sword in his hand.

Kimimaro had just noticed that Haku hesitated in his movements behind him, which meant that Haku had clearly held back during the battle.

Moreover, if Haku hadn't used a weapon with extremely low lethality like Senbon, he would have been injured just now. This time, because Lord Haku was watching, Kimimaro really wanted to show off the results of his training. Compared to usual, he was very serious this time, which was very unfair to Haku.

"A loss is a loss." Bai touched the wound on his cheek and smiled slightly.

Kimimaro opened his mouth, unsure what to say, but upon seeing Bai Yu approaching, he prepared to put away his bone sword and bone whip.

"Wait a minute!" Bai got up and called out. He then took out a scroll from his pocket, took out a glass bottle from it, poured out the special liquid inside, and used it to clean Kimimaro's bone sword and bone whip.

After doing all this, Bai smiled and said, "That's enough."

"Thank you." Kimimaro blushed slightly before retracting his arm and spine back into his body. Bai Yu had reminded him before that after using the Corpse Bone Pulse, he should be careful to disinfect the bones when retracting them to avoid aggravating his condition. He had forgotten about it, but Bai Yu remembered it so clearly.

After Kimimaro retracted his arm and spine, Shiro took out a handkerchief and helped him wipe away the few traces of blood on his body.

Bai Yu stepped forward, looked at the wound on Bai's face, smiled, and reached out to release Yang Release chakra, gently stroking Bai's cheek: "You are such a kind child."

The warm Yang Release chakra quickly healed the wounds on Bai's face.

"Lord Bai Yu."

Bai He and Kimimaro bowed respectfully to Bai Yu.

Both of them had already accepted Bai Yu's tutelage, and were both his subordinates and his disciples.

"I haven't paid attention for a while, and you two have both made such great progress. It seems you haven't been slacking off. Very good." Bai Yu didn't hold back his praise.

It's true that both of them are highly talented, but if they hadn't trained relentlessly, they wouldn't have mastered a significant portion of the power of their bloodline limit at such a young age.

"This is all thanks to Lord Baiyu's guidance."

The two said respectfully.

"No need for modesty. It's clear you both held back during the battle just now. I'll give you a chance to prove yourselves." Bai Yu said with a smile, "Next month, Konoha will hold the Chunin Selection Exams. Originally, I only planned to take Taichi and Mitsuko with me to see the outside world, but now I've changed my mind. All of Konoha's allies can sign up for the exams, so you two should go and take the exams too."

"Yes!" The two men straightened up and replied solemnly.

"Alright, you can continue. I'm going to guide these children in their cultivation now."

"Yes!"

Bai Yu watched as Bai and Kimimaro continued their battle on the sidelines. He then brought the other children over to the side. He thought to himself, since Konoha was going to use Uchiha Itachi to showcase the level of Konoha's geniuses, he could also show the Uzumaki clan's teaching standards to the Land of Fire and neighboring countries.

As for whether there's any suspicion of him trying to sabotage the event, that depends on Itachi Uchiha's strength.

[Chapter 189 Breaking the Record]

Early June of Konoha 52.

Konoha Village, the dominant force in the ninja world that won three consecutive Shinobi World Wars, has suffered repeated blows to its reputation in recent years.

This time, Konoha actively invited neighboring countries to participate in the Chunin Selection Exams and even invited dignitaries from various countries to attend, clearly demonstrating their confidence in the genin candidates for this Chunin Selection Exams.

Out of respect for Konoha as an ally, Amegakure, Kusagakure, Takigakure, and Sunagakure each sent a team of genin to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Selection Exams.

Although Iwagakure and Kumogakure did not send genin teams to participate in the exam, they still sent officials and ninjas to observe the event.

Other neutral countries, such as the Land of Frost, the Land of Iron, the Land of Demons, and the Land of the Sea, also sent envoys. Among them, the Hidden Star Village of the Land of Bears sent a genin to participate in the Chunin Selection Exam alone.

As for the Uzumaki clan, Konoha's staunch ally, they were no exception. Bai Yu not only brought his son and daughter but also took the initiative to request that the Uzumaki clan's genin participate in Konoha's Chunin Selection Exams.

The Konoha leadership readily agreed, believing that after the Uzumaki clan had repeatedly provoked Kirigakure and Iwagakure, they needed to strengthen their alliance with Konoha to cope with external pressure.

After all, Konoha is still the strongest ninja village in the ninja world in terms of overall strength.

When Bai Yu and his group arrived at the east gate of Konoha Village, they saw Nawaki standing at the gate.

When Nawaki saw Shiraha and the others from afar, he quickly ran over and stopped in front of Shiraha, punching him in the chest: "You bastard, if it weren't for the Chunin Exams, how long has it been since you came to see me!"

Bai Yu smiled, opened his arms to Nawaki, and the two hugged. Then, pointing to the four people behind him, he introduced them to Nawaki: "These are Taiichi and Mitsuko, and these two are my disciples, Kimimaro and Bai."

"Quickly call for someone." Bai Yu patted Taiyi's head: "This is your Uncle Rope Tree."

"Uncle Rope Tree," Mitsuko said politely.

Taiyi rubbed his head, seemingly dissatisfied that Baiyu only hit his head, and then said in a muffled voice, "Uncle Rope Tree."

"Lord Nawaki." Kimimaro and Haku bowed respectfully.

Nawaki smiled slightly at Haku and Kimimaro, then turned his attention to Taichi and Mitsuko, pointing to himself and saying, "Taichi, Mitsuko, don't be so formal. I held you when you were born, don't you remember?"

“I have absolutely no recollection of it, Uncle.” Taiichi shook his head.

"What uncle? I'm only in my twenties and not married yet! You should call me brother!" Nawaki said with a frivolous expression, showing none of the demeanor of an elite Konoha Jonin.

Taiichi glanced at Nawaki and said, "Uncle, with that scraggly beard, you look at least ten years older than my dad. Stop pretending to be young!"

Rope Tree: (°ー°〃)

Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. At this moment, Nawaki had a long beard, and his hairstyle seemed to be inspired by the First Generation. He had long hair, but the First Generation had long, straight black hair, while his hair was slightly curly and yellowish-brown. Paired with a full beard, he looked like a middle-aged man, even though he was only a year older than Bai Yu.

Of course, the rope tree's design isn't exactly ugly, but it certainly exudes a mature vibe.

"This is the trendy mature, older man style that's all the rage lately, what do you know?!"

Seeing Bai Yu smirking, Rope Tree instantly lost his guard and squatted down to argue with Taiyi.

“Old man,” Taiyi retorted.

"Ugh, damn it!" Nawaki scooped up Taiichi and rubbed his face with his beard, yelling, "Let me show you what an old man can do!"

At this moment, Guangzi hid behind Baiyu, looking at the two childish kids with a look of disgust.

"Alright! Rope Tree! How old are you? Stop acting like a child!"

A female voice came from behind the group, and the person who came was Tsunade.

Behind her followed a girl in a black kimono, holding a piglet. Her name was Kato Shizune, Kato Dan's niece. After Kato Dan's death, Tsunade discovered that Shizune had a good talent for medical ninjutsu and had no relatives, so she took her in as a disciple and they traveled the ninja world together to do charity.

After receiving Bai Yu's message, Tsunade was initially reluctant to return to Konoha. However, considering that Bai Yu said he had something important to discuss, and that over the years Bai Yu had lent her money to pay off her gambling debts, she owed him hundreds of millions of yen, and now that Bai Yu said he needed her help, Tsunade felt embarrassed to refuse directly. Thinking that she hadn't been back to the village for a long time and hadn't seen Nawaki for a long time, Tsunade took Shizune with her and returned to the village. Unexpectedly, they arrived just in time.

"Sister, you're back!" Nawaki looked at Tsunade with surprise and delight.

"Put Tai down right now!" Seeing Tai struggling, Tsunade immediately adopted her elder sisterly authority and reprimanded him, "If you like children so much, you should get married soon! Otherwise, how will you face Grandpa when you go to the Pure Land!"

“If anyone’s getting married, it should be you, older sister, first. If I remember correctly, you’re more than ten years older than me!” Rope Tree retorted.

"Sister, Uncle is bullying me!" Taiichi quickly complained to Tsunade.

"What sister! You should call me auntie! My sister is over forty years old..." Rope Tree looked fearless.

Tsunade grabbed his mouth and yelled, "You brat, don't you know a woman's age is a secret?!"

Nawaki's mouth was pulled hard by Tsunade, making him wince in pain, and he finally dared not be naughty anymore.

Bai Yu looked at the scene before him and was amused again. Rope Tree, after all these years, is still so used to being silly.

Especially since Tsunade looks like she's in her early twenties, while Nawaki looks like an uncle, this sibling duo is really hilarious.

Guests came and went in an endless stream at the entrance, including some high-ranking officials and nobles who arrived in sedan chairs. They watched the group of people playing loudly and recklessly, but no one went forward to disturb them.

After all, whether it's the name of the Three Legendary Sannin, the grandson of the First Hokage and an Awakened Wood Release user, or Yagami Hakuba, they are all renowned figures in the ninja world. In the eyes of ordinary people, these are the elite. If they want to befriend them, they have to consider the mood of Hakuba and the others.

"Alright, stop fooling around. Every time I discipline you, you always drag me into it." After Tsunade finished disciplining Nawaki, she looked at Shiraha and said with wide eyes, "You brat, every time I see you, I can't help but ask you, how did you learn your medical ninjutsu? Why does your skin always look better every time we meet? Even if you just came of age, I doubt anyone would doubt it."

When Bai Yu saw that Tsunade had brought up the topic of himself again, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "The secret to staying young is to get married early and marry a capable wife."

Tsunade: "..."

Rope Tree: "......"

"Well, you little brat, you've gone astray as Nawaki, subtly implying I'm old!" Tsunade suddenly shouted angrily.

As she spoke, Tsunade walked up to Shiraha and stretched out her arm, ready to deliver a classic chokehold.

But when she stood opposite Bai Yu, Tsunade realized that Bai Yu had grown quite a bit taller. At just over 1.6 meters tall, if she were to lock her neck around Bai Yu's neck, she would probably be hanging on him. So she stopped joking around and said seriously, "So, what did you call me back for this time?"

"Let's talk about this once we get to the village. We can't discuss this here," Bai Yu said with a smile.

"Let's get this straight, it's impossible for me to pay you back right now. I have no money, but you can decide whether to take me or not." Tsunade adopted a shameless attitude.

"It's just a small amount of money, of course I wouldn't make a special trip to Konoha."

Bai Yu shook his head.
