Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

At around thirty years old, Bai Yu achieved many accomplishments that no ninja could ever reach.

Most importantly, judging from the appearance of the Uchiha clan, they have long been in league with Bai Yu.

If a civil war breaks out, the best outcome would be a lose-lose situation.

The worst-case scenario is that they suffer heavy casualties today, yet still cannot defeat Bai Yu, and at the same time, they will forge a deadly feud with the Whirlpool Clan.

When force cannot be used, then reasoning is the only option!

"Excessive?" Bai Yu looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, smiled, and said, "The Uchiha clan voluntarily left Konoha and accepted my invitation to join the Land of Whirlpools. How did I go too far in doing this?"

“You…” Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute Bai Yu.

Koharu Utatane, standing nearby, spoke up: "No matter what, the Uchiha clan is a member of Konoha. The Uzumaki clan is an ally of Konoha. What you're doing is actually harming Konoha's interests. How can an ally do such a thing?!"

"You've been relentlessly pressuring our Uchiha clan, playing political games with us, and pushing us out of the political arena. You've shown us neither respect nor the corresponding political rights and treatment. Now that we're about to leave Konoha, do you finally realize that the Uchiha clan is a part of Konoha?" Chiho said coldly.

"Whatever the conditions, we can discuss them now," Koharu Utatane said quickly, then looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Right, Third Hokage?"

Realizing that the Uchiha clan truly intended to break away from Konoha and was not merely using this opportunity to bluff, Koharu Utatane panicked. Therefore, she believed that she must immediately offer tangible benefits to appease the Uchiha clan first.

“Yes!” Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: “We will try our best to meet the demands of the Uchiha clan. We understand your political demands, and I can now make a promise to you in the name of the Third Hokage, in front of everyone!”

"At a time like this, we Uchiha clan would rather give up the rights that are bought with dignity!"

Things that should have belonged to the Uchiha clan have been escalated to this point. Who can guarantee that you won't use the same methods against the Uchiha again in the future?

"It's not that our Uchiha clan is being forced to leave Konoha; it's that we've chosen to leave Konoha and embrace the bright future of the Land of Whirlpools for the better development of our clan. It's all too late, Third Hokage!"

Chiho said with unusually firm attitude.

"Furthermore, even if I did agree to your demands, could you carry out the execution of Danzo immediately?"

Chiho changed the subject and looked at Danzo.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado all fell silent with grim expressions.

"Everyone, did you see that? Is this what the higher-ups call sincerity? Today they're protecting Danzo, the murderer who tried to kill Shisui, and tomorrow they'll go back on their word!" Chiho turned around and looked at the Uchiha clan members behind her, saying, "I know that many of you still have feelings for Konoha and still harbor illusions."

Therefore, even though I am the head of the Uchiha clan, we will not force everyone to leave with me.

Just like Madara Uchiha saw through the true nature of Konoha and realized that the Uchiha would never produce a Hokage in Konoha's political climate, so he chose to leave Konoha.

Back then, the Uchiha clan didn't leave with Madara because they were tired of war and didn't want to return to the life of ninja clans vying for supremacy during the Warring States period.

However, the establishment of ninja villages did not eliminate war; on the contrary, it led to wars growing larger and larger.

The Uchiha clan was stronger with each of the four Shinobi World Wars.

Now, the opportunity to choose has once again returned to everyone's hands.

Those clansmen who are willing to leave Konoha with me, bring your families and come with me to the Land of Whirlpools! Today!

Seeing the ambiguous attitude of the higher-ups and recalling the treatment the Uchiha had received over the years, some of the Uchiha clan members who had previously wavered and still harbored illusions about the higher-ups also felt that Chiho's choice was right.

"Lady Chiho, I will follow you!"

"Lady Chiho is right, we must bravely take the first step!"

Count me in!

"Me too!"

......

In a short time, more than two-thirds of the Uchiha clan members who had awakened the Sharingan chose to follow Chiho.

It's important to understand that these are just clansmen who have awakened their Sharingan. Behind them are their relatives and friends. Although they are all clansmen who haven't awakened their Sharingan, one person could potentially take away four or five, or even a dozen or more, Uchiha clansmen.

The remaining less than a third of the Uchiha were mostly older people who had lived in Konoha for many years and had a strong sense of belonging to the village. Even at this point, they still harbored illusions about the higher-ups.

The main members were doves led by Fugaku Uchiha. They were unwilling to leave Konoha, their home, and did not believe that the Uchiha clan could have a better future without leaving Konoha. After all, the Uzumaki and Senju clans were distant relatives, and the Uchiha and Uzumaki had been enemies for hundreds of years during the Warring States period. Joining the Land of Whirlpools might mean being ostracized by the Uzumaki clan.

Bai Yu observed all of this without saying a word.

In his view, it was unrealistic to lead the entire Uchiha clan to leave Konoha and join the Land of Whirlpools.

It's not that the Land of Whirlpools can't accommodate a few thousand people, but rather that there will always be some who are unwilling to leave their homeland.

Even though this is his third time in this life, he still considers himself an Earthling.

Perhaps this is what people's attachment to their hometown is like.

Regardless, there will still be Uchiha clan members who believe they were driven out of Konoha. This is a deeply ingrained mindset, and it is very difficult to change the mindset of an adult.

Especially the ordinary members of the Uchiha clan, who had lived in Konoha for most of their lives and got along well with the ordinary people of Konoha, didn't care much about political rights or the pride of the Uchiha. They just hoped that there would be no war.

This is a phenomenon observed by Bai Yu through the perspective of the Kodama incarnation "Uchiha Issei".

Ordinary people just want to be well-fed, clothed, and live a peaceful life.

After all, in this ninja world, some people live a life of extravagance and debauchery in big cities, while others live in remote mountains and forests without even electricity, struggling to make ends meet every day.

Compared to the latter, the happiness level of ordinary members of the Uchiha clan in Konoha is not low.

It is truly remarkable that Chiho has achieved such high support in such a short time since becoming the clan leader.

Of course, for Bai Yu, it would be better to take away more Uchiha clan members.

Because in less than ten years, the new generation of the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans will grow up, and if the two clans intermarry, the chances of producing geniuses will be extremely high.

The revival of the Land of Whirlpools is just around the corner.

Furthermore, the presence of so many Sharingan users allows Bai Yu's cell experiments to take a significant step forward.

"Hiruzen! Koharu! En! Haven't you realized it yet?! They've been plotting to leave Konoha for a long time. Shisui revealing his Mangekyou Sharingan and Kotoamatsukami was a deliberate attempt to lure me into attacking. His true purpose is to leave Konoha. No matter how much you compromise, the outcome is already decided!"

Danzo, who had remained silent until now, finally couldn't hold back any longer and said excitedly.

He felt he could still struggle, and although he believed that after so many years of friendship with Hiruzen, they wouldn't let him die so easily.

But if they make a mistake and decide to kill him to compromise with the Uchiha clan, then he's finished.

As long as he wasn't dead, he had a chance to turn things around, so Danzo had no choice but to defend himself.

"It's true that the Uchiha clan is planning an armed coup. Shisui himself conveyed this message. My action against Shisui was to prevent him from defecting and keeping the Mangekyou Sharingan under his control. Only then can we ensure that no unforeseen events occur. I'm doing this for the sake of the village!"

Danzo had completely lost all sense of shame at this point.

Although his main goal was to obtain the Sharingan, what he said was logically sound.

"Third Hokage, Danzo is right. The Uchiha clan is inherently xenophobic and unwilling to interact with others, so it's only natural that they are ostracized!"

"Since the Uchiha clan is planning a coup, Lord Danzo has no choice but to do this!"

"The problems of the Uchiha clan are their own, and the responsibility cannot be entirely shifted onto Lord Danzo!"

A small number of Jonin who had a poor relationship with the Uchiha clan also pleaded for Danzo's life.

Since the Uchiha clan is going to leave Konoha anyway, it doesn't matter what they say.

Moreover, judging from the attitude of the higher-ups, they probably don't want to execute Danzo.

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a long time before looking at Shisui, who was standing silently in the crowd, and said, "Shisui, I know this is a bit unreasonable, but Danzo has done so much for the village all these years... I hope you can let him off this time."

His words enraged the Uchiha clan members who were planning to stay in Konoha.

As Chiho and Issei were right.

With Danzo, the Will of Fire no longer included the Uchiha clan.

Danzo wanted to kill Shisui, but the Third Hokage asked Shisui to spare him.

Have they no shame at all?!

Even many of the Jonin present felt a chill in their hearts; the Third Hokage was actually willing to go to such lengths for Danzo.

The Will of Fire has truly become a joke!

Upon hearing this, Shisui looked somewhat conflicted. "Uchiha Issei" patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to remain silent for the time being.

At this moment, Bai Yu looked at the excited Uchiha clan members and stepped forward, saying:

"Everyone, Uchiha clansmen who are willing to join the Land of Whirlpools can leave with me today."

As the leader of the Uzumaki clan, I make this guarantee to you.

In the Whirlpool Clan, you will not be treated unfairly; everyone is equal.

If anyone harms an innocent Uchiha clansman without cause, everything will be judged in an equal and fair manner.

Even if the perpetrator were my own son, Yagami Taichi, I would not tolerate it.

If you feel that you haven't received better treatment in the Land of Whirlpools than you have in Konoha, you are free to leave at any time.

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, the difference in their abilities became immediately apparent when compared to the Third Generation.

Uchiha Issei, standing to the side, questioned, "Lord Shiraha, what guarantees do you have that you can deliver on your promises?"

"I guarantee with my reputation that I, Yagami Shiroha, always keep my word," Shiroha said solemnly.

Uchiha Issei shook his head and said, "That's not enough. The higher-ups have made countless guarantees like this. I'm tired of hearing it. Even if your past reputation shows that what you say is credible, it doesn't guarantee that you won't break your promise this time."

The Uchiha members were also drawn to the conversation between Hakuba and Issei.

Indeed, the majority of them were willing to leave Konoha and join Uzushiogakure because they believed in Chiho and admired Hakuba, one of the strongest ninjas in the world.

The Uchiha clan preferred to submit to the strong rather than play any political games in Konoha.

But it's not necessarily true that they truly trusted Bai Yu.

This was also the concern of the Uchiha clan members who were unwilling to leave Konoha; who knew what the outcome would be if they went to the Land of Whirlpools?

"Alright! If you want sincerity, I'll show you sincerity. Today, I'll reveal our biggest secret to the public!" Bai Yu said with a smile, "This secret is known to only a very few people. It is precisely because of this secret that I chose to accept and trust the Uchiha clan!"

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Bai Yu's jet-black eyes suddenly turned crimson, and then three black tomoe appeared in his iris.

"Sharingan?!"

"Three tomoe!?"

"How could Bai Yu possess the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan?"

"He's skilled in medical ninjutsu; it must have been a transplant!"

"Have you forgotten Kakashi? People without Uchiha clan blood cannot use the Sharingan freely at all."

"Could it be that Bai Yu is also from our Uchiha clan...?"
