Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

The chakra expenditure was negligible for him, but it did cause some damage to his vessel. He gained nothing but suffered a loss.

"If we capture that human named Uchiha Issei, we should be able to find out the source of his blood. The other world... seems quite extraordinary as well. We can no longer afford to be careless..."

[228. Chapter 222 Experiment]

Original world.

After entrusting Chiho with the affairs of the Uzumaki clan, including taking care of the children, Shiraha and Kushina left together for the Land of Iron.

The meeting of the Five Great Nations and the Five Kage was held in the Land of Iron, and the leader of the Land of Iron also served as the host of the meeting because of the Land of Iron's neutral stance and the long-standing agreement among ninjas.

The Land of Iron does not have ninjas; instead, it is protected by a fighting group known as "samurai."

It is a neutral country with its own culture, authority, and military strength.

Of course, the reason why the Land of Iron can remain neutral is simply because the various countries have not yet determined a true victor in the Ninja World War, so there is no need for them to provoke the Land of Iron, which is not weak. That's all.

Now that the Uzumaki clan has risen rapidly, especially after absorbing most of the Uchiha clan's fighting force, Konoha, the overlord of the ninja world, has been greatly weakened. With this shift in power, other major ninja villages can no longer ignore the Uzumaki clan. Therefore, it would be better to put the Uzumaki clan on an equal footing with them and put the distribution of benefits on the table.

Although they didn't want to share the pie with the Uzumaki clan, the situation left them no choice. Rather than waiting for the Uzumaki clan to become stronger and take the initiative to seize the pie, in which case they would lose even more, it was better to make an agreement now.

After all, although the Uzumaki clan is currently only superficially united with Konoha, if they were to unite during wartime, even if the other four villages joined forces, they would likely still be defeated.

Furthermore, the Third Shinobi World War has shown that the four villages of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure are fundamentally incapable of truly uniting. Otherwise, they could have defeated Konoha in the middle of the war, instead of dragging it out until Shiraha, Kushina, Minato Namikaze, and others grew rapidly during the war.

Bai Yu and Kushina arrived at the capital of the Land of Iron at a leisurely pace. As soon as they reached the city gate, they saw a group of samurai dressed in layered silver armor with two swords at their waists. Each of them had a strong chakra reaction.

Although the Land of Iron has no ninjas, it has been able to maintain its independence in the chaotic world, which, strictly speaking, is also because these samurai have kept up with the times.

The traditional samurai era ended with the rise of ninjas. A samurai who had practiced various sword styles for decades might not even be able to defeat a well-trained genin. That's the power of chakra.

Ordinary samurai were no match for ninjas.

Only the new samurai of the Land of Iron, who combined chakra with samurai swordsmanship, were not eliminated by the times.

Judging from their chakra reactions alone, several of these samurai possessed chakra strength comparable to that of a Jonin.

"You two must be Lady Kushina and Lady Shiraha of the Uzumaki clan, right? My name is Okisuke, and I am Lord Mifune's assistant. This gentleman next to me is Ura-kado."

The samurai approached Shiraha and Kushina. The middle-aged samurai at the head of the group smiled and bowed slightly.

"Please, both of you." The tall man Rikka stepped forward and made way for Kushina and Shiraha, gesturing for them to go first.

"Mr. Mifune, you're too kind. Please."

Bai Yu smiled and took Kushina's hand, leading her into the city.

Along the way, Chongjie and Rikou introduced the sights of the city to Shiraha and Kushina, their words filled with pride in their country and reverence for Mifune's leader.

Bai Yu responded with a smile, occasionally chiming in with a few polite words.

However, for Kushina, who was born into a wealthy family and owned an entire commercial street during her time in Konoha, the development of the Land of Iron lagged far behind Konoha and was even inferior to the Uzumaki clan after Shiraha's planning. Nevertheless, she always maintained a smile on her face.

For this kind of troublesome social interaction, Kushina only needs to keep a smile on her face when she's with Shiraha; she doesn't need to worry about it.

When the group reached the end of the street and arrived outside the inner city, Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron, hurried out. He was wearing green layered armor, carrying a samurai sword, and looked like a middle-aged man with a long beard on his mouth and chin, and his head was wrapped in bandages.

Seeing how incredibly young Shiraha and Kushina looked, Mifune also showed a hint of surprise. After all, the two of them were already 30 years old and had entered their prime, but they both looked like they were around 20 years old.

"Lady Shiraha, Lady Kushina, welcome to the Land of Iron."

Mifune responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, but his attitude was very friendly.

Bai Yu sensed that Mifune's chakra was not weak, comparable to that of a Kage, which surprised him somewhat. For a leader of a neutral samurai nation to have such strength was quite remarkable, no wonder he could maintain neutrality in a chaotic world.

Mifune's strength is just right, neither too strong nor too weak.

If he were as strong as Hanzo the Salamander, the leader of Amegakure, the Land of Iron might find it difficult to remain neutral.

"Lord Rasa of Sunagakure, Lord A of Kumogakure, Lord Hiruzen of Konoha, and Lord Yagura of Kirigakure have all arrived and are resting at the embassy. The Five Kage Summit will be held tomorrow. Please go to the embassy to stay for now."

Mifune, leading Shiraha and Kushina, explained as they walked.

......

The story takes two parts, parallel worlds.

Issei, Orochimaru, Kabuto, Naruto, and Sasuke entered Konoha's west gate and walked onto the main road.

Before they had gone far, they heard shouts coming from behind them.

"dad--!"

The five looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man in a black suit waving at them before running over quickly.

Behind him were a boy and a girl of similar age. The girl had black hair and black eyes, fair skin, wore pink-rimmed glasses, a pink dress and light-colored shorts, and her facial features and expression were very similar to Sasuke's when he was young.

As for the boy following at the very back, he had blue and white hair, amber eyes and vertical pupils like Orochimaru, pale skin, and wore a very loose blue and white two-tone shirt with long sleeves, dark blue trousers, and a belt around his waist, similar to Orochimaru's attire.

The three are the members of Team 7 of Konoha in this generation: Naruto's son Boruto Uzumaki, Sasuke's daughter Sarada Uchiha, and Mitsuki, an artificial human created by Orochimaru by combining various superior genes.

Boruto and his two companions were on their way to the mission hall of the Hokage Building to pick up their missions when they saw Naruto and his group of five.

"Sasuke-san, you're back too?" Boruto came up to Naruto and looked at Sasuke beside him. Compared to Naruto, the Hokage father, he admired Sasuke, the unsung hero standing behind the Hokage, even more.

"Hmm." Sasuke nodded at Boruto, then looked at Sarada who was walking behind Boruto: "Saraza."

"Dad, when did you get back?" Sarada asked happily.

“Last night,” Sasuke replied. He returned to Konoha last night and discussed with Naruto the intelligence they had gathered outside, as well as the investigation into the Kara organization. The two of them talked all night long. If it weren’t for Issei’s sudden appearance, they probably would have worked until late at night before going home.

After Naruto became the Seventh Hokage, he was extremely busy every day for the peaceful development of the five great nations.

He spent almost as much time in the Hokage's office as he did at home, especially after the Otsutsuki clan incident. He often went home just to get a change of clothes before returning to the office to continue working, leaving even his shadow clones exhausted.

Seeing that Sarada looked a little unhappy, Boruto couldn't help but say, "You jerk, don't let Sasuke end up like you, so busy with work that he doesn't even have time to come home."

Although Boruto understands the importance and hardship of Naruto's work after dealing with Urashiki Otsutsuki, it doesn't stop him from complaining about it.

After being lectured by Boruto in front of everyone, Naruto awkwardly scratched his head and smiled, then introduced him to Issei: "This is my son, Boruto."

"Hmm?" Issei's gaze fell on Boruto, a look of confusion on his face.

His passive perception of "Sixth Sense" seemed to sense a special energy fluctuation, so he actively strengthened his perception of "Sixth Sense". At the same time, his dark eyes suddenly turned scarlet, and the three-tomoe Sharingan appeared. Then it turned into a pattern of multiple overlapping triangles, which looked a bit like a pyramid made of building blocks.

Upon meeting, he activated his Mangekyou Sharingan to observe Boruto.

"This is the Sharingan... the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Sarada looked at Issei's eyes in surprise as they changed from three tomoe to a more mysterious pattern, recalling the records about the Uchiha clan in the library.

However, the Uchiha clan should now consist of only her and her father Sasuke, yet another clansman has appeared who can freely control the Sharingan.

Issei's Mangekyou Sharingan was specially activated by the power of the Rinnegan, making its power far stronger than that of an ordinary Mangekyou. Therefore, when his gaze focused on Boruto, Boruto immediately felt a strong pressure and felt very uncomfortable.

"What are you doing?" Boruto exclaimed, feeling as if his body was being restrained by an invisible force.

"Boruto, stop!"

Seeing Boruto's expression, Mitsuki narrowed his eyes and was about to attack Issei, seemingly without considering the difference in strength between the two.

"The fourth month of the lunar calendar".

However, just as he took a step forward, Orochimaru, who was standing next to Issei, called out to him.

Mitsuki paused, only then noticing that Naruto and Sasuke were both looking at Issei and Boruto with slightly serious expressions, but they didn't make any moves, clearly indicating that the other party had no ill intentions towards Boruto.

After about a minute, Issei frowned and shut down his enhanced perception of the "Sixth Sense" and his Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Issei, how is it? Is there a problem?" Naruto asked.

Yicheng said calmly, "He has a very strong talent, and he has a special chakra that contains another consciousness."

Boruto possesses a particularly pure and powerful chakra that surpasses everyone present, even Naruto with the Nine-Tails. However, this chakra is not fully integrated with his body; instead, it is competing with his body for chakra.

Simply put, it's like a foreign chakra parasitizing his body.

To some extent, transplanting Bai Yu's bloodline could also lead to a similar situation, depending on whether Bai Yu would do so.

“That’s a ‘wedge’ left by Momoshiki Otsutsuki, and we’re trying to remove it.”

Sasuke said in a deep voice, "The Otsutsuki clan's methods are too strange and diverse, which is their biggest concern. They have no way to deal with Boruto's physical condition."

"Let me finish my experiment first. There are no unbreakable techniques or abilities in this world; it's just a matter of whether we have enough information."

Issei replied that if the original body were stronger and consumed some of its bloodline power, Boruto could be transformed into its bloodline descendant, thus covering the 'Karma' left by Momoshiki Otsutsuki. An even better way would be to help Boruto absorb Momoshiki's power.

However, this would not be of much benefit to the original body, so Issei naturally wouldn't say it. Moreover, it would be more in his own interest for the original body or Kushina to absorb the power of the 'Karma'.

"Okay, let's go quickly." Sasuke nodded. He was just not good at expressing his feelings, but he still cared about Boruto.

"Let him come along; perhaps he can assist with the experiment."

Issei pondered, "If we could obtain the pure chakra and soul power of the Otsutsuki clan through Boruto, it might help my main body break through."

Furthermore, Boruto possesses a very peculiar eye power, which is what interests Issei the most, and I believe the original Boruto would also be very interested in it.

“This…” Naruto hesitated.

"Can I help?" Boruto asked excitedly.

“Of course, dealing with the Otsutsuki clan requires more power, but…” Issei replied, but before he could finish speaking, he began to scrutinize Boruto.

"But what?"

Boruto asked.

"You're too weak!" Issei sighed and said directly, "With your physical talent, the bloodlines of both the Uzumaki and Hyuga clans, and being Naruto's son, how come you only have this much strength at the age of 12? What have you been doing all this time?"

"..." Boruto was speechless at Issei's question, and couldn't help but exclaim, "I'm not weak! I've been training hard, and I even helped Dad and Sasuke defeat Momoshiki and Urashiki, I..."

Seeing that Naruto and Sasuke were looking at him, Issei said, "He's only at the level of Shiraha's son and daughter when they were three or four years old. It's a real waste of his talent and Momoshiki's chakra. If possible, I think he should also undergo cell experiments. Otherwise, if you can't defeat the new enemy, the others probably won't be able to help much."

"A three or four-year-old's level?!" Naruto was taken aback. Although Boruto didn't receive particularly strict training when he was young in order to give him a happy and complete childhood, Boruto's talent was indeed outstanding. When Naruto was 12 years old, he was only slightly stronger than Boruto because of the Nine-Tails.

Naruto is not really willing to let Boruto undergo cell experiments.

After all, it was his and Sasuke's responsibility to deal with the Kara organization and the Otsutsuki clan.

Boruto did play a significant role in defeating Momoshiki and Urashiki, but that was only as a support role. It's not always possible to be so lucky as a genin to be able to help without facing any life-threatening danger.

Boruto, who was standing nearby, was even more furious after hearing Issei's words. He shouted, "I'll participate in your so-called experiment! I want to see how powerful you can make me! If you can't, you'll have to apologize to me!"

"Alright, it's a deal." Issei smiled faintly, looking down on Boruto, seeing how easily Boruto was provoked.

Naruto and Sasuke were somewhat helpless when they saw this, because they knew Boruto's personality and that he wouldn't give up so easily.
