Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

The Jonin guards listening from the rear tensed up when they sensed something was wrong.

brush!

The instant Kushina gently raised her hand, all the Jonin surrounding her used Body Flicker Technique to appear beside their respective Kage, and the situation was about to erupt.

Yagura's bodyguards were a man and a woman, both Jonin in their early twenties. One of them was Zabuza Momochi, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and the other was Mei Terumi of the Terumi clan, both possessors of two bloodline limits.

Zabuza gripped his Executioner's Blade tightly in his right hand, his fierce eyes fixed on Kushina and Shiraha, while keeping a wary eye on the other ninjas around him, as if he were about to strike at any moment.

Kushina's face darkened.

boom!

A terrifying orange chakra erupted from her body.

Click click click!

The hexagonal conference table that was in contact with her body immediately cracked, and everyone in the room felt as if the air had become heavy and solid, and they subconsciously held their breath.

"Kushina-sama!"

Mifune, who was presiding over the meeting, cried out in surprise and quickly stopped the samurai around him who were about to get involved.

"Don't get agitated, Kushina." Bai Yu's gentle voice rang out, and he gently placed his right hand on Kushina's shoulder, pressing her back into her seat.

Bo~

Like a bubble bursting, Kushina's chakra instantly returned to her body, and her aura dissipated as if nothing had happened.

Upon hearing Bai Yu speak, the Third Raikage A, Onoki, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Rasa relaxed their tense bodies slightly. At the same time, they cursed Yagura inwardly, thinking that even if he disagreed, he shouldn't have been so blunt. He was practically courting death and almost dragged them down with him.

If they were to fight here today, it's uncertain whether they would be able to return to the village alive. After all, even if they joined forces, it's impossible for them to truly cooperate and deal with Kushina and Shiraha together.

"Phew..." At this moment, Zabuza, who had just excitedly drawn his Executioner's Blade, also breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to put the Executioner's Blade back, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He subconsciously held the Executioner's Blade horizontally in front of him and braced the back of the blade with his left hand.

boom!

Zabuza shot out like a cannonball, crashing through the wall and flying out of the castle.

Duh!

hum~

The severed half of the decapitation sword spun down from the air and then plunged into the ground, the blade trembling and emitting a buzzing sound.

All of this was caused by Bai Yu flicking his finger, firing a coin-sized ball of chakra from his fingertip.

"Lord Shiraha!?" Mifune was stunned. He had thought Shiraha was trying to mediate, but he hadn't expected him to take action directly.

“He glared at me first, and I don’t like it when someone points a knife at Kushina,” Bai Yu said. “We’ll cover the cost of repairing the wall. Don’t worry, I wasn’t serious just now, he won’t die.”

Sensing Bai Yu's calm tone, the Jonin guards in the arena fell silent, not daring to even breathe too loudly.

The executioner's sword broke in two, and this is what they call not even getting serious yet?!

Noticing everyone's expressions, Bai Yu smiled slightly. He hadn't really gone all out. What he had just instantly unleashed was a level two offensive spell, [Magic Shockwave]. If he had used magic power to release it, Zabuza probably wouldn't have been reduced to ashes. He had only used a small amount of chakra to activate the [Magic Shockwave], and it was even shaped into a sphere, minimizing its power.

"I hope everyone can sit down and discuss this properly, and not resort to force lightly," Mifune reminded him. "That is the original intention of this meeting."

However, at that moment, Bai Yu's dark eyes suddenly turned completely black, which made all the ninjas present tense up again.

"what!"

Yagura, who had maintained a blank expression throughout, suddenly clutched his head and cried out in pain.

Bai Yu made another move, and launched a direct attack on Yagura, which surprised everyone.

"Your Fourth Mizukage was controlled by genjutsu. Didn't any of your Kirigakure ninjas notice?" Bai Yu said calmly, glancing at Mei Terumi beside Yagura.

"What?! Lord Yagura, he..."

"The Fourth Mizukage was controlled by genjutsu?"

"How could a ninja like him..."

The Jonin in the arena all looked incredulous, and even the other four Kage were stunned.

The Shadow of a Village: The fact that its supreme leader can be controlled is a disaster!

After Yagura stopped struggling, he looked at everyone in the arena with a blank expression: "Where...is this?"

He noticed that everyone else was looking at him with the same expression.

******

parallel world.

Outside Konoha Village, in Orochimaru's underground base, inside the laboratory.

After four months of working together, Issei, Orochimaru, and Kabuto finally succeeded in growing a brand new arm for Sasuke.

At this moment, Sasuke lay shirtless in the nutrient tank in the middle of the laboratory, the light green nutrient solution just covering his ears.

Sasuke's left arm was severed in the middle of his upper arm during his battle with Naruto at the Valley of the End. For more than a decade, he fought using only his right arm.

However, his most dominant arm is still his left arm.

"Relax a bit, gather your chakra at the severed arm, and then devour the cells in the arm," Issei reminded him.

"Ah."

Sasuke nodded, and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his right eye unconsciously appeared.

Issei took a pale-skinned left arm out of the petri dish and placed it on Sasuke's severed left arm.

As Sasuke gathered his chakra at the severed arm, the pale left arm quickly connected to Sasuke's skin, and numerous white buds, like tiny tentacles, climbed towards the severed part of the left arm.

"Hiss!"

Sasuke gritted his teeth and gasped, as if he were enduring some kind of pain.

Orochimaru stared intently at Sasuke.

However, Issei remained calm. The arm he had cultivated for so long was highly compatible with Sasuke's, and theoretically there was no possibility of failure in the fusion.

Soon, in less than five minutes, Sasuke had consumed a large amount of chakra and fully adapted to the arm cultivated from the fusion of Urashiki cells and Hashirama cells.

"Sasuke? How are you feeling?" Kabuto asked from the side. He wanted to finish the experiment as soon as possible and then return to the orphanage to take care of the children.

"I succeeded. I feel my chakra and eye power are both increasing."

Sasuke sat up from the nutrient tank and flexibly moved his left arm.

"Let's record your physical condition." Issei nodded to Sasuke and turned on all the instruments beside him. Orochimaru's laboratory was fully equipped, even more so than his own. However, given the time difference of so many years, the technology had only developed to this extent, which was frankly not very fast.

“Okay.” Sasuke left the nutrient tank and went to the instrument, where he asked Issei to record the various data.

Now that the cell experiments and transplantation have all been successful, it's time for him to prepare to return.

......

Two months later.

Issei formally bid farewell to Naruto and Sasuke, and returned home empty-handed.

Shortly after he stepped out of the gates of Konoha, at an altitude close to the clouds, a pink triangular drone recorded his entire journey.

From the dense forest not far away, the voices of three people talking could be heard.

"The target has finally left Konoha!"

"We've waited for half a year already. This time, none of you should make a move. Let me deal with him!"

"Delta, be careful. Contain your chakra and don't sense things carelessly. We're too close to Konoha!"

Diruda, Amado, and Victor discussed the matter.

"Stop talking nonsense! What's there to be afraid of! Whoever comes, we'll deal with them together!" Diruda scoffed.

Her body is covered in scientific ninja tools, and she has three bodies.

The pink triangular drone high above Konoha is her true form; as long as the drone is not damaged, she can revive multiple times.

Through the drone's shared vision capability, her field of vision extends far beyond the so-called Byakugan and powerful sensory ninjutsu.

Because her body has been modified, she is completely undetectable by conventional sensory abilities.

In addition, with her ability to absorb and reflect ninjutsu, so-called ninjas can't exert much combat power in front of her.

"Wait until the target leaves the Land of Fire before making a move!" Amado said in a deep voice. This time, he was in charge of the mission, so he had to ensure that no accidents would happen. Moreover, more than Cixuan's orders, he wanted to know what Cixuan valued about the target that made him so solemnly order its capture alive.

“Listen to Amado!” Victor chimed in from the side.

"I know, you're such a coward!"

Delta said with dissatisfaction, and the three of them waited until Issei had gone far enough before following him.

Anyway, with Deluda's drones, even if they go a little further away, there's no fear of losing track of them.

As a technological product, drones contain extremely weak chakra, making them very difficult to detect.

Before leaving, Amado gently pressed a button on his orange glasses to notify Jiraiya's clone, Kashin Koji.

Once he captures the target alive, he will have a way to learn Cixuan's secret.

However, what the three did not know was that shortly after they left, a dark, gaping hole suddenly appeared in the hidden spot where they had just been—a spatial portal had appeared.

Sasuke stepped out from there.

By this time, Sasuke had become completely familiar with his left arm, and his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his right eye had evolved into the Rinnegan over the past two months.

Because An Lushan mysteriously disappeared, Issei, for the sake of safety, hoped that someone could escort him back when he left. So Sasuke agreed to follow him all the way until Issei arrived at the dragon vein of the Loulan ruins.

"I didn't expect Issei's worries to be true; a member of the Kara organization actually appeared."

Sasuke looked surprised. After finding the direction the three were heading, he waited for a while, then opened the portal again and went inside.

[Chapter 225 The Fire of the Soul (Bonus Chapter)]

Yicheng headed west, heading straight for the depths of the desert in the Land of Wind.

In my memory, once you leave the Land of Fire and reach the western border of the Land of Rivers, you can see a vast expanse of Gobi Desert bordering the Land of Wind. I never imagined that a large area of ​​protective forests had been planted along the border of the Land of Rivers.
