Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

In any case, the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning were not bad in terms of commercial development. Strictly speaking, the Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Cloud Village only suffered setbacks in the Third Shinobi World War, rather than being completely defeated like the Hidden Sand Village. They did not lack funds.

Because the village itself has abundant natural resources, they are not as dependent on the daimyo's funds as Sunagakure.

As long as enough medical scrolls and medicines are stockpiled during peacetime, there is no need to worry about the Serpent Spirit Group stopping the supply of medicines during wartime.

The effects of the Third Shinobi World War continue; Konoha has utterly crippled Sunagakure, and Kirigakure is in no better shape.

Furthermore, with the rise of the Uzumaki clan, the ninja world is still nominally comprised of the Five Great Nations and the Five Great Ninja Villages, but in reality, the strength of the military alliance led by the Uzumaki clan is constantly catching up with Sunagakure and Kirigakure, and is already comparable to Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure.

In order to prevent the Snake Spirit Group's products from completely destroying the medical ninjutsu system of Sunagakure, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and the Sunagakure leadership strongly resisted business cooperation with the Land of Demons.

Even the Daimyo of the Land of Wind couldn't sway the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa's, decision. The Snake Spirit Group's products were primarily geared towards ninjas, and with Sunagakure refusing to cooperate, their market in the Land of Wind was indeed very small.

In fact, Sunagakure had sent spies to infiltrate the Serpent Spirit Group in the Land of Demons more than once, attempting to steal their medical scrolls and methods for making medical potions, but all of them had never returned.

Besides Sunagakure, even Iwagakure and Kumogakure, which had extensive business dealings with the Land of Demons, sent spies to infiltrate the village. Konoha was no exception, but all attempts failed.

After the kidnapping of Shion, the Land of Demons has strengthened its defenses. Kakuzu and Sasori dare not provoke Shiraha again, so they are basically protecting Shion and the Serpent Spirit Group with the utmost vigilance.

At this moment, deep in the desert of the Land of Wind, a young man in a black cloak slowly walked steadily on the soft sand beneath his feet.

Through the sandstorm, you could see that he was holding a thin rope in his hand, and at the end of the rope was tied a middle-aged man with a rugged face and a thick beard, who was stumbling behind him.

Strangely enough, the swirling sandstorm seemed to encounter an invisible barrier and was completely stopped when it was about twenty centimeters away from the young man's body.

Because of the sandstorm, the world was a yellowish-orange color. Despite the low visibility, the young man walked with a clear goal in mind, without stopping for a moment.

Until he came to a group of ruins, broken walls, and buildings eroded beyond recognition by wind and sand.

The young man was none other than Bai Yu's Wood Spirit incarnation, "Uchiha Issei." After using "Soul Projection" to create a soul clone and merging it with "Uchiha Issei," he had completely acquired some of Bai Yu's characteristics and abilities. He could even use Bai Yu's innate spells from his third-level apprentice stage, "Sixth Sense," "Eye of Truth," and "Super Brain Deduction."

The current "Uchiha Issei" can act independently and maintain a closer connection with Shiraha's main body through the "Soul Projection" soul clone.

The things Kakuzu and Sasori reported also greatly interested Shiraha.

They captured a rogue ninja from Sunagakure named Anrokuzan. After being captured, in order to save his life, he revealed a huge secret.

That is, by activating and absorbing the dragon veins deep in the desert of the Wind Kingdom, one can travel through time and return to the past.

Although it sounded like a fantasy, Kakuzu and Sasori immediately reported it to Shiraha. (Gu'e)

After learning about the situation, Bai Yu used "Soul Projection" to strengthen "Uchiha Issei" and sent him to the Land of Demons, along with An Lushan, to the Dragon Vein to investigate.

The situation in the other world where the demon resides is unknown. Creating a "soul projection" would be quite taxing on Bai Yu. Moreover, "Uchiha Issei" is one of the avatars he has carefully cultivated. Sending him directly to the other world would be too dangerous.

Some higher beings can even track each other across dimensions through their soul aura.

Therefore, Bai Yu plans to reach level three, or try to explore other dimensions when he encounters a bottleneck.

Moreover, the experiments on the demons are still in their early stages, and it may not be possible to develop them effectively in the short term. Only after the power of the demons has been fully developed will it be the turn of the other world to be developed.

Now that Bai Yu has learned the secret of being able to travel through time, he is naturally very interested and wants to find out more.

If such miraculous power truly exists, it would be safest to keep it in one's own hands.

"Is this the location of the dragon vein you mentioned... the Loulan ruins?"

After stopping, Uchiha Issei looked at An Lushan behind him and asked.

"Yes...yes." An Lushan looked meek and submissive. At first, he was very stubborn, but after experiencing Kakuzu and Sasori's methods, he was finally persuaded. Now, following the obviously higher-ranking "Uchiha Issei," he was even more cooperative, at least until he found a way to escape.

"Let's go."

Uchiha Issei opened his senses but found no traps or barriers, so he walked deeper into the ruins buried by sand.

At this moment, he could vaguely sense the chakra reaction underground. It was very strong, but it was still not very reliable to say that it could travel through the world and return to the past. The chakra contained in it did not seem to be much stronger than the original body.

With doubts in their hearts, Uchiha Issei and An Lushan walked to the underground entrance, cleared away the sand and gravel on the surface, and then entered the underground.

After walking through the narrow and cramped passage, a huge underground space comes into view.

In the center of the open space was a circular barrier that occupied most of the ground space. On the stone platform in the center was a specially made kunai that resembled a trident. The spell symbols wrapped around the handle were extremely familiar to "Uchiha Issei".

This is clearly Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Kunai!

The entire circular barrier emitted extremely strong sealing chakra fluctuations.

Moreover, according to Uchiha Issei's perception, there seemed to be terrifying natural energy beneath the barrier.

"This place was sealed by the Fourth Hokage of Konoha using the Dragon Vein Seal. Only by opening the barrier can the chakra accumulated beneath the entire earth vein be released, and this power be used to return to the past."

An Lushan stepped forward to explain, and then put forward his conditions.

"Currently, the only people who can break the seal on the Dragon Vein are myself and the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, who is already unconscious. If you can promise to let me go after I break the seal, I will help you break the seal."

“Of course.” Uchiha Issei nodded, his dark eyes suddenly turning crimson, and three tomoe appeared. He activated his eye technique the moment he spoke.

An Lushan, who had just shown a look of joy, suddenly became dazed.

Dragon Vein Sealing may be a high-level technique, but both Shiraha and Kushina are experts in sealing techniques. Even Minato Namikaze is inferior to him in terms of sealing skills.

If even a regular Jonin from Sunagakure like An Lushan could learn a sealing technique, then Uchiha Issei, who had merged with Shiraha's soul clone, could naturally master it as well.

Under the influence of illusion, An Lushan explained in detail the complete method for breaking the seal on the dragon vein, and revealed all the secrets he had kept hidden in his heart.

It turns out that he planned to pretend to teach the method of breaking the Dragon Vein seal, then secretly activate the seal and take advantage of the moment when the Dragon Vein chakra erupted to travel back to the past through the Dragon Vein.

As long as he and "Uchiha Issei" do not enter the Dragon Vein at the same time, even if there is only a few seconds between them, there will be a huge time difference. In this way, he can take advantage of the time difference to avoid "Uchiha Issei's" pursuit.

This was top-secret intelligence obtained by An Lushan, and he did not reveal it even when he was severely interrogated by Kakuzu and Sasori.

"I see......"

Uchiha Issei understood, and then, relying on Shiraha's profound sealing techniques, he learned the Dragon Vein Seal in less than a day.

After learning the Dragon Vein Seal, Uchiha Issei did not rush to open the seal. Instead, he took out a small bottle containing Bai Yu's blood from his storage scroll and injected the blood into An Lushan's body using a syringe.

Under the control of the illusion, An Lushan's mind was completely in a daze, but his body continued to twitch.

For many, Bai Yu's blood can be a source of strength, or it can be a deadly poison.

The pain of fusion is something most people cannot bear.

However, under the care of "Uchiha Issei", An Lushan quickly integrated with Bai Yu's blood.

At this moment, not only "Uchiha Issei" clearly sensed the blood connection between himself and An Lushan.

......

A week later, Uchiha Issei set up a barrier array around the entire Loulan ruins before activating the Dragon Vein Seal.

boom--!

The violent chakra filled the entire underground space the moment the seal was broken, as if the earth's veins had been connected.

After enhancing the genjutsu on An Lushan with his Mangekyou Sharingan, "Uchiha Issei" threw him into the chakra vortex at the center of the Dragon Vein.

After waiting for about five minutes, "Uchiha Issei" could no longer sense An Lushan's presence, but he could still detect that An Lushan was still alive through a faint bloodline connection. So, just as he was about to give up, he also leaped into the chakra vortex at the center of the dragon vein.

Without the support of "Uchiha Issei", the dragon veins instantly stopped gushing chakra, but the raging chakra beneath the earth veins continued to accumulate, waiting for the next eruption.

At this moment, Bai Yu, far away in the Vortex Clan's territory, opened his eyes in a room in the underground laboratory.

10395788

[222. Chapter 216 The Five Kage Summit, Parallel Worlds]

"It has basically recovered."

In the room, Bai Yu got up from the bed and used "Soul Projection" at the same time, which consumed nearly half of his mental and magical power. He also had to create a soul clone, which was a great drain on him.

It took him nearly ten days to recover his depleted mental and magical energy; the recovery of his soul would take even longer.

Of course, this level of soul consumption wouldn't have a significant impact on his combat strength. Moreover, it's unlikely that war will break out in the Land of Whirlpools in the short term, especially since most of the Uchiha clan has moved there. The three powerful individuals with the Mangekyou Sharingan are a force that no major country can ignore, except for Konoha.

However, using "soul projection" is much more convenient than using the improved spiritification technique, making it a one-time solution.

After advancing to the second level "Spirit Summoner", his sensitivity to creatures of the same bloodline has been greatly enhanced.

Even Uchiha Issei, who had left this space, and the White Snake Sage in Ryuchi Cave, who was outside the ninja world, could be vaguely sensed by Shiraha.

As for those in the same space, his perception was extremely clear.

If Ziyuan were kidnapped again, he would definitely be able to pinpoint her exact location in a short time through their bloodline connection.

Of course, such a thing is almost impossible to happen again. After the previous accident, Bai Yu has strengthened the barrier in the palace of the Demon Kingdom. The fact that Kakuzu and Sasori captured An Lushan this time also fully demonstrates that the two did not slack off during the guard duty.

In addition, Rank, who had previously traveled across the ocean to investigate the Grell Stone mine, was too far away from Bai Yu, so he could only know that Rank was still alive through blood ties, but he could not determine his location.

Now that he has been promoted, he can basically confirm Rank's location, but it is still too far away. Even though he has mastered the art of flight, it will not be able to reunite with Rank in a short time.

However, since Rank hasn't found the exact location of the Grell Stone vein yet, there's no need to look for Rank now.

This time, because Nagato took the initiative to give him the Rinnegan, Bai Yu was able to advance ahead of schedule.

After being promoted to the second level "Spirit Summoner", he clearly felt that his cultivation speed had slowed down a lot. This was mainly because the spiritual power requirements for each promotion were higher and higher. The stronger the spiritual power, the slower the process of vaporization, liquefaction and crystallization would be.

This is why formal wizards often have lifespans of hundreds of years, but many wizards still do not advance in rank until their physical bodies perish and their souls decay.

Bai Yu doesn't have this problem at the moment.

He's exactly 30 years old this year and is already a level 2 sorcerer. This speed of advancement would probably arouse suspicion among high-level wizards in the wizarding world.

After all, the process of materializing mental power takes a lot of time and cannot be accelerated by simply having high talent. Moreover, the overall data of a warlock is higher than that of a wizard of the same level in the early stages. The larger the base data, the longer it takes to materialize mental power.

"It will probably take a long time to advance to level three. Now we'll see what the avatar gains."

Bai Yu thought to himself, then put on the silver-white wizard's robe hanging on the shelf.

The Third Raikage of Kumogakure, A, seemed to be shocked by the Uchiha clan joining the Uzumaki clan, so he took the initiative to propose a Five Kage Summit and invited Hakuba and Kushina to participate.

Bai Yu is definitely going this time, and he can take this opportunity to formally propose the reconstruction of the Whirlpool Country.

The times have changed.

The separation of politics and military affairs within the framework of "one country, one village" will be completely transformed.

I believe that one day in the future, other countries will also be affected.

At the same time, Bai Yu also needs to comfort the fragile hearts of the other villagers.

With the Uchiha clan joining and the Land of Whirlpools being officially rebuilt, the five great nations and five great ninja villages of the ninja world will become six great nations and six great ninja villages.

Currently, the main source of funding for each village is the allocation from the daimyo, and each village also accepts various commissions from the daimyo and other domestic entities.

Like Konoha, the victor of the three Shinobi World Wars, they can receive missions not only from their own country but also from other countries.
