Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Bai Yu closed his Sharingan.

"It was only after leaving Konoha that I discovered I had Uchiha blood. Later, I learned from the records left by my clan that one of my Yagami clan ancestors had descendants with a member of the Uchiha clan."

That Uchiha clansman did not awaken the Sharingan, nor was he even a ninja. This fact was forgotten by the younger generation of the Yagami clan as time went by.

It wasn't until I awakened the Sharingan that I believed I also had the same blood as the Uchiha clan flowing through my veins.

We share a common ancestor, so I can be considered half an Uchiha!

Therefore, I have no reason, nor any need, to deceive you.

Whether what he said was true or false was not the most important thing. What mattered most was the fact that he possessed the ability to freely use the Sharingan, and whether the Uchiha clan members were willing to believe this 'fact' he had fabricated.

"Bai Yu is also an Uchiha!"

"No wonder he, a commoner, was able to achieve what he has today; the Uchiha bloodline has played a part in it!"

"Bai Yu is of the same race as us!"

When Bai Yu unleashed his trump card, the Uchiha clan members were immediately excited, while the other Konoha Jonin were somewhat bewildered, as Bai Yu had such a connection with the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Issei stared at Bai Yu in shock, exclaiming, "I never imagined we were from the same clan, that we were on the same side!"

"Welcome home!"

Bai Yu smiled broadly and opened his arms towards "Uchiha Issei".

The two hugged tightly.

Then, Bai Yu came to Zhi Shui and extended his hand to him.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Shisui slowly extended his hand and shook hands with Bai Yu.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado were utterly desperate. Whether Shisui forgave Danzo was no longer important; the Uchiha's departure from Konoha was a foregone conclusion.

At this moment, Bai Yu approached the Uchiha clan members and said, "Fugaku, and those of you who are unwilling to leave Konoha, the gates of Uzushiogakure are always open to you. I believe that after this incident, Konoha will no longer treat you this way. Good luck."

Bai Yu's words immediately resonated with the Uchiha.

Qian Sui's eyes were like water, only able to see Bai Yu. This was the man she valued. Such vision and magnanimity, even before leaving, he did not forget to consider the clansmen who did not want to leave.

The thought that she was from the same clan as Shiraha made it clear that in order to make the relationship between the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans closer, they would have to become one family.

Thinking of this, Chiho's heart fluttered, and her cheeks gradually flushed.

"In that case, I will not disturb you any longer. Once the Uchiha members are ready, let's head to the Land of Whirlpools together."

Bai Yu continued, then looked at the Third Generation and the others.

"The Uzumaki clan is allied with Konoha. The Uchiha left Konoha and joined the Land of Whirlpools. In fact, the overall strength of both sides has not been weakened at all. Third Hokage, there is no need for you to look so distressed."

I'm sure you won't do anything to put the Uchiha clan and me in a difficult position.

The friendship between Konoha and the Uzumaki clan must not be destroyed in our generation.

right? "

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was pale, and he seemed to have aged considerably in an instant. His lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Before Bai Yu arrived, resorting to force was the worst option, and now there is even less possibility of resorting to force.

What happened today is the biggest stain on his record as the Third Hokage.

I'm afraid I'll never be able to wash it away, even until I die.

[Chapter 217. Joining the Land of Whirlpools (Part 213)]

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

Konoha Village, central area.

The bell rang to signal the end of get out of class at the ninja academy.

Younger freshmen would gradually leave the classroom, saying goodbye to their teachers at the door.

Meanwhile, the senior students had already rushed out in droves.

From the crowd, a boy with delicate features and short black hair walked out of the classroom. He was wearing a black suit with a fan-shaped pattern printed on the back, which was the Uchiha clan crest.

The boy was Fugaku's youngest son, Uchiha Sasuke.

Because of his outstanding appearance, excellent talent, and prestigious family background, Sasuke has become a celebrity at the Ninja Academy in less than a year and is extremely popular.

At this moment, Sasuke held a report card with near-perfect scores in all subjects, preparing to immediately go back to show it to his parents, and then train with his older brother Itachi. Compared to his powerful but always stern-faced father, Sasuke preferred his strong and gentle older brother.

Sasuke made a promise with Itachi: if Itachi got first place in his grade this time, Sasuke would spend Saturday and Sunday training with him. Sasuke couldn't wait to go home.

However, Sasuke liked to imitate Itachi's calm and collected demeanor in the face of any situation, so he suppressed his excitement and walked at his usual pace, neither too fast nor too slow.

"Sasuke, he's so cool!"

"Sasuke, look here!"

"Sasuke~!"

Sasuke's cool demeanor caused the girls to scream incessantly, and even the older girls were extremely enthusiastic about this outstanding and handsome freshman.

"Damn it! Those Uchiha guys are always so attention-seeking." Some boys felt envious and jealous, but knowing they were no match for them, they didn't dare to cause trouble for the Uchiha.

There's no way around it; almost every freshman class has some outstanding Uchiha newcomers.

Every few years, some outrageous Uchiha appear, such as Uchiha Shisui a few years ago, Uchiha Itachi a few years ago, and now Uchiha Sasuke.

This clan is truly enviable; not only are they highly talented, but they also have outstanding looks. It's really quite a blow to one's pride.

At that moment, a girl with long pink hair ran up to Sasuke's side. It was Sakura Haruno, Sasuke's classmate. She said shyly in a low voice:

"Sa...Sasuke-kun, can you...come...come with me later..."

Before Sakura Haruno could finish speaking, Sasuke shook his head and refused, saying, "I still need to train."

"Hmm... I see." Sakura Haruno was disappointed after being rejected, but she still smiled and said, "Sasuke-kun is amazing. He's already so outstanding, yet he still works so hard."

Although Sakura Haruno genuinely praised Sasuke, Sasuke felt no joy whatsoever, because the phrase he heard most often from his father, Fugaku, was, "Compared to Itachi, he's far inferior."

Because people have different goals and different expectations of themselves, the standards for excellence will vary greatly.

For Sasuke, his goal was to catch up with his brother Itachi and to earn praise from his father Fugaku.

Getting the top score in your grade with near-perfect marks at school isn't anything to be happy about.

The only thing that made me happy was that after winning first place, I could train with my brother Itachi.

As for his father's approval, that would be hard to come by, because when Itachi was in school, he got full marks in all subjects in his first semester and graduated early as a genin.

Compared to Itachi, Sasuke is still far behind.

"Damn it, Sasuke, how could you be so cold to Sakura!?"

At this moment, a boy with short blond hair ran over. He had big, bright blue eyes and was very cute. Behind him was a girl with long, orange-red hair.

It was none other than Naruto and Karin, the brother and sister duo.

Because the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was seriously injured and lay in a coma for many years while protecting the village, the villagers still took good care of the brother and sister.

Sometimes when the two went to buy things, the villagers were even unwilling to accept their money.

Minato Namikaze came from a commoner background. Although he only served for a short year, he introduced new policies that benefited the people and made many people at the bottom of society very popular.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, would take time out of his spare time to guide Naruto and Karin's training, something many students envied.

After all, Hokage is a sacred figure in many people's minds, and their dream is to become Hokage when they grow up.

Naruto and Karin's father was the Fourth Hokage of the village, a hero who protected the village.

The Third Hokage, who guided their training, was a great ninja who had devoted decades to the village. They could only see this busy man, the Third Hokage, at the annual opening and graduation ceremonies.

It's truly enviable that Naruto and Karin are now receiving guidance from the Third Hokage.

"Naruto." Sasuke stopped in his tracks when he heard the familiar voice, turned around and looked at Naruto who had run up to him. He frowned slightly and said, "If you have a lot of free time, you might as well spend more time training."

"What did you say?! I'll definitely surpass you in the next exam, don't get cocky, Sasuke!"

Naruto said excitedly that he had ranked second in both the midterm and final exams, behind Sasuke, which made him very unhappy. Unfortunately, his grandfather, the Third Hokage, was busy with official duties and could only come to guide him and his sister Karin occasionally. He couldn't accompany him to train every day. But Naruto believed that as long as he worked hard enough, surpassing Sasuke was only a matter of time.

"Let's talk when you surpass me, second place." Sasuke curled his lip, his expression somewhat mocking. In fact, he did not underestimate Naruto at all; on the contrary, he regarded Naruto as his biggest rival at present, because Naruto's efforts made him feel a lot of pressure.

Especially at Naruto's age, he possesses an astonishing amount of chakra, but he simply doesn't know how to use it effectively yet.

As Naruto grows older, his strength will increase rapidly, something his father Fugaku and brother Itachi have both said.

Speaking of which, their family used to have a very good relationship with the Fourth Hokage's family. However, Sasuke felt helpless against Naruto, who was always comparing himself to him in everything. Therefore, Sasuke's attitude towards Naruto was often worse than towards others.

"Sasuke, what did you say? You want to fight?!" Naruto grabbed Sasuke's collar angrily.

Naruto was not only angry about Sasuke's cold attitude towards Sakura, whom he liked. The most important thing was that Naruto had always regarded Sasuke as his goal and had been working hard to train, but Sasuke treated him, the second-place player, as if he didn't exist and did not regard him as an equal opponent. This was what angered Naruto the most.

"Naruto, don't do this, I'm fine, don't fight with Sasuke because of me!" Sakura quickly advised from the side.

Sakura felt that Naruto was very good to her, and that Naruto was good-looking, talented, and lively and enthusiastic. However, compared to Naruto, she still preferred the handsome and aloof Sasuke. There was no way she could choose.

Karin, sucking on a lollipop, looked on with amusement. This silly older brother seemed to have endless energy; he just loved to compete with Sasuke.

谷愔

Although Sasuke is very handsome and is her type, she thinks he is too aloof and she is too lazy to go to great lengths to please him like other girls do.

In contrast, Karin prefers Sasuke's older brother Itachi. Not only is Itachi more outstanding than Sasuke, but he is also gentle and very handsome, much like her father Minato Namikaze, whom she has heard about from others.

"Didn't we just fight today? You're such a defeated opponent." Sasuke grabbed Naruto's hand and said. In today's sparring test, Sasuke came in first and Naruto came in second. However, in order to defeat Naruto, Sasuke used all the taijutsu that Itachi had taught him, without holding back at all. The victory was not easy.

"hateful."

Looking at Sasuke's smug face, Naruto wanted nothing more than to punch him in the face, but that wouldn't be a fair fight, so Naruto held back.

"Sasuke, I'll definitely beat you next time!"

Naruto released his grip on Sasuke's collar, his eyes burning with fiery passion.

'What a troublesome guy!' Sasuke cursed inwardly, then turned around and said, 'Instead of wasting time bothering me, I should spend more time training. I have an appointment to train with my brother, so I'll be going now.'

"Sasuke!" Karin, who had been sucking on a lollipop, suddenly called out.
