Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Just as Issei (Baiyu) was about to speak, Chiho looked at Fugaku with a disappointed expression, clearly annoyed by her teammate's incompetence. She immediately retorted, "Negotiation! Negotiation! Negotiation! They may not be tired of saying that word, but I'm tired of hearing it!"

As she spoke, Chiho turned to look at the clansmen behind her who were hesitating, and said, "From the Fourth Hokage's coma to the Uchiha clan being forced to the brink of extinction, the negotiations have lasted for six or seven years! What results have been achieved?"

The Uchiha clan is becoming increasingly isolated and marginalized. Today, Danzo even dared to attack Shisui from our clan. What wouldn't he do in the future?!

"Correct!"

"No compromise! No concessions!"

"We want independence!"

"Leave Konoha!"

"We don't negotiate, we just want results!"

The younger generation of Uchiha clan members were already determined, and they firmly supported Chiho's decision.

"Chiho, don't get agitated. This time, I promise I'll give you a satisfactory answer," Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly said.

"Third Hokage, you have absolutely no credibility with our Uchiha clan!" Chiho said bluntly. "Unless you immediately order Danzo's execution and return the rights that our Uchiha clan is rightfully entitled to, nothing you say will make any difference."

"..." Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened. He couldn't bring himself to execute Danzo immediately.

"Chiho, even if Danzo did wrong, he was still the leader of Root and a former Hokage advisor, dedicating his life to Konoha. To execute him without even going through the proper interrogation process—isn't your demand a bit too much?"

"Turn to the next room," Xiaochun retorted.

In her opinion, Chiho's behavior was too forceful, and it seemed like she was bluffing to gain more benefits for the Uchiha clan.

Because Fugaku and some members of the Uchiha clan are clearly unwilling to leave Konoha, they are only currently driven by anger. As long as they make some concessions, the problem will naturally be resolved.

When external conflicts are not so acute, internal conflicts often erupt.

We absolutely cannot give in so easily now, otherwise the Uchiha clan will definitely take advantage of the situation and make many unreasonable demands.

Unfortunately, Koharu underestimated Chiho's vision and underestimated her determination.

"Does someone who defied the Will of Fire and ruthlessly killed a ninja who had also rendered meritorious service to the village need to be interrogated? Isn't this just your delaying tactic?"

"Given your style of doing things, Danzo will at most be sentenced to life imprisonment. Then, when the time is right, you'll let him redeem himself through meritorious service, eventually clearing his name and releasing him, before gradually returning him to the village's political center."

"Issei (Baiyu) said sarcastically, then looked at Yamanaka Inoichi in the crowd."

"The Yamanaka clan's secret techniques are adept at controlling the enemy's mind and can also invade and read a ninja's memories. Danzo's actions can be completely seen with a simple look using these secret techniques!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards Yamanaka Inoichi.

Yamanaka Ino's eyes changed slightly. With his strength, he could indeed examine Danzo's memories while minimizing damage to Danzo's brain, but he couldn't guarantee it 100%.

Most importantly, if he did this to Danzo, it would be tantamount to the Yamanaka clan taking sides.

The Yamanaka, Akimichi, and Nara clans have always been closely allied. Doing this would mean that the three clans would stand against the Hokage's faction. Such a matter, which could have far-reaching consequences, must be handled with caution.

"Issei, you know perfectly well that the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques are used to interrogate enemies and spies. Using them against Danzo, no one can guarantee that he won't suffer fatal injuries in the process." Mitomon Homura couldn't help but speak up. After all, he had worked with Danzo for decades, and he didn't want to see Danzo pushed to this point.

"Since secret techniques can damage the brain, let's use my Mangekyou Sharingan eye techniques to make him tell the truth, is that alright?"

Yicheng (Baiyu) changed his tone, his attitude softened, and he seemed less resolute than before.

"Everyone knows the Uchiha clan is skilled in genjutsu. Who can guarantee you won't use genjutsu to control Lord Danzo?!" The remaining Jonin of Root immediately objected strongly.

Their fate was closely tied to Danzo's, so they couldn't just sit idly by and watch him fall. The most important thing was that their deaths were a minor matter; they could very well implicate their entire families, since they had done many dirty things for Danzo, including tasks that involved harming their comrades.

Therefore, even if Issei (Shiroha)'s illusion was only meant to make Danzo tell the truth, that wouldn't work.

"Yicheng, don't you think your request is too much?"

Xiaochun continued, turning to her room.

"Everyone, you see this, right? This is what they call interrogation? It's completely insincere!" Issei (Baiyu) looked at the Uchiha clan members behind him, then at Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, and said, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Danzo will reveal more information, like how he forced Sakumo to his death!"

"what?"

"Forced Sakumo to his death?"

"Did Danzo kill Sakumo?"

The Jonin couldn't help but discuss it, especially those from commoner backgrounds. Many of them regarded Sakumo as their goal and role model, at least until Sakumo committed suicide.

Some of the clan ninjas who knew the inside story all had solemn expressions.

"Issei, the matter of Sakumo is my responsibility as the third generation, it is my dereliction of duty, I..." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked ashamed.

"Of course it's your responsibility!" Issei (Baiyu) interrupted Hiruzen Sarutobi's hypocritical words. If apologies were useful, would Sakumo have come back to life?

"Everyone, do you know why the failure of the Shuomao mission became so widely known that even the villagers knew about it?"

Since it's a top-secret mission, regardless of success or failure, not only should the villagers not know, but even the Jonin shouldn't know.

Why did everyone condemn Shuomao together when they didn't even know what the mission entailed?

It's because someone guided the public opinion to ferment.

Those of you who knew the details of the mission but didn't speak up for Sakumo when he was being accused are all murderers!

First and foremost, it's you, Third Hokage! You are Danzo's accomplice!

Issei (Baiyu) pointed at Hiruzen Sarutobi and angrily rebuked him.

"Sakumo's original mission was to assassinate the Third Kazekage! Can you believe it? It was a mission that even the Third Kazekage and Danzo would have failed if they had carried it out themselves!"

Sakumo chose to abandon the mission for his comrades, earning him a bad reputation, but the higher-ups did not speak up for him.

Because Sakumo was the strongest contender for the Fourth Hokage at the time, and he jeopardized the interests of certain people, it was necessary to add some blemishes to his near-perfect resume.

His suicide was definitely not because he couldn't bear the so-called stigma and condemnation!

It was because the Will of Fire became a tool, and in order to defend his beliefs, Sakumo chose to die to prove his innocence!

Yicheng (Baiyu)'s heartfelt words moved everyone present.

"Is that so?"

"Sakumo died like this?"

"Senior Sakumo, he..."

"Lord Third Generation, is what Issei said true?!"

"Was Sakumo-senpai's mission really to assassinate the Third Kazekage? When the Third Shinobi World War broke out, Sunagakure attacked us first. Could it be because Konoha struck first?"

Kakashi clenched his fists tightly in the crowd.

At this point, some people also thought about the reason for the outbreak of the Third Shinobi World War. Were their sacrifices not to protect Konoha, but to sacrifice for the political struggle between the high-ranking officials?

"It has been eleven years since Sakumo died. How do you know about what happened back then?!" Danzo questioned. Seeing that Hiruzen, Koharu, and En were trying to protect him out of consideration for their feelings, he no longer cared about saving face. In the end, Sakumo died by suicide, and any interpretation was acceptable. Naturally, he could use the interpretation that was favorable to them to explain the cause of Sakumo's death.

"Because I told him!"

A calm and gentle voice suddenly rang out above everyone's heads.

A handsome young man stood in mid-air, wearing a silver-white robe covered with mysterious patterns, slowly descending from the sky.

"Bai Yu?!"

"Iori Shirayu?"

"Flying ninjutsu?!"

Everyone was stunned.

Bai Yu flew directly to the vicinity of the group of Konoha experts without their knowledge.

Even if Bai Yu could pass through the large barrier covering the entire Hidden Leaf Village, it should be noted that there were sensory ninjas present. If Bai Yu didn't make a sound, no one would know that there was someone above them.

The strongest ninja village in the ninja world is like his own backyard to Bai Yu, and he can come and go as he pleases.

"It seems I've arrived just in time." Bai Yu approached Chiho, smiling as he extended his hand: "Now, as the leader of the Uzumaki clan, I formally invite the Uchiha clan to join the Land of Whirlpools."

I guarantee with my reputation, that every member of the Uchiha clan will enjoy the same treatment as the Uzumaki clan in the Land of Whirlpools, and will receive corresponding rights based on their obligations to the Land of Whirlpools.

Chiho, who had been assertive and arguing with reason in front of the group of Konoha ninjas, now showed a shy expression like a young girl. She pursed her lips and forced herself to calm down.

She originally hoped to leave Konoha with a proud attitude, then negotiate with the Uzumaki clan on an equal footing, and finally choose to join the Land of Whirlpools.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yu took the initiative and extended an invitation to the Uchiha clan, completely handing the initiative over to her.

As expected of the man she values, even his timing for appearing on screen was perfect.

After calming herself down, Chiho reached out and shook hands with Shiraha: "As the head of the Uchiha clan, I agree to join the Land of Whirlpools!"

All the Jonin of Konoha were stunned. Were they trying to poach him in front of everyone?

The key point is that Chiho agreed immediately!

The alliance between the Uzumaki and Uchiha clans is just like the alliance between the Uchiha and Senju clans decades ago, and it has epoch-making significance.

The title of the number one ninja village in the ninja world will likely change hands from Konoha.

[Chapter 212 The Uchiha's Victory (The End)]

"Bai Yu, the Uzumaki clan and Konoha are close allies. Aren't you going too far by doing this?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his face grim, questioned him.

Although nearly half of Konoha's top combat power is gathered here, even top-tier Kage-level powerhouses like Onoki and the Third Raikage A can be kept here.

However, Shiraha is clearly an exception.

In less than two years, Bai Yu's impression of him had undergone a complete transformation.

At this moment, Bai Yu was able to arrive here unnoticed, even under the watchful eyes of so many Jonin.

Even though Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't a sensory ninja, during the previous Chunin Selection Exams, he could still sense Hakuba's powerful chakra when he was close to him, but now Hakuba was just standing there like an ordinary person.

But he had just used his flight ability a second ago, so it's impossible that he didn't have chakra.

Clearly, Bai Yu has made another breakthrough.

Whether in terms of ninjutsu or experiments, it is something that Konoha can hardly reach at present.

Konoha's current achievements in medical ninjutsu and clinical trials are still those left behind when Hakuba left Konoha. Their technology has not made any substantial breakthroughs and has been stagnant.
