Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Upon returning to the same world, Issei immediately communicated with his original soul avatar.

......

The Five Kage Summit brought about a tremendous change in the ninja world's landscape.

First, the Land of Whirlpools was rebuilt, and it retained the old system of integrated military and political administration.

All five major powers expressed their support for this, and even the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, who initially opposed it, agreed.

Because Shiraha used his Sharingan to dispel the genjutsu on Yagura.

It would be hard for anyone to imagine that Kirigakure, one of the five great ninja villages, would have its supreme leader, the Fourth Mizukage, manipulated by genjutsu.

Furthermore, according to Shiraha, Yagura was controlled for a considerable period of time, and it was not a recent illusion.

This was something the ninjas of Kirigakure found even more difficult to accept.

Only then did they realize that Kirigakure's numerous unreasonable actions in recent years could all be due to someone manipulating the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, which led to these tragedies.

While the original Hidden Mist Village also implemented a relatively strict ninja selection system, it was nowhere near as brutal as the Fourth Mizukage's era.

Even the ninjas of Kirigakure suspected that their Third Mizukage was also controlled by genjutsu.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for so many bloodline ninja clans to be slaughtered in the Land of Water from the later years of the Third Mizukage's rule to the present day, when the Fourth Mizukage took office.

This resulted in Kirigakure, like Sunagakure, becoming the weakest of the five great ninja villages, with a significant gap in strength compared to Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Konoha. Consequently, Kirigakure did not inexplicably launch a war against the Uzumaki clan, ultimately leading to a crushing defeat.

The first suspect in Kirigakure was the Uchiha clan of Konoha, because the Sharingan, also known as the genjutsu eye, had a reputation in the ninja world that "anyone who sees it will flee."

The Mangekyou Sharingan is a legendary existence!

Of course, most of the Uchiha clan members have now moved to the Land of Whirlpools, but Kirigakure only attacks Konoha.

The reason for this is not because Shiraha helped the Fourth Mizukage break the genjutsu, but because the Land of Whirlpools is too strong now, and Kirigakure cannot afford to offend them.

Conversely, although Konoha is stronger than Kirigakure, it is too far away, and Konoha's ninjas are not good at naval warfare. Pointing the finger at Konoha might make the weak Third Hokage give up some benefits in order to clear his name.

As for seizing benefits from the Land of Whirlpools, Kirigakure would never dare to do so.

Thus, the Five Shadows Summit ended in an unexpected way.

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, died of a serious illness shortly after returning to Kirigakure.

This fact was not kept secret because Kirigakure sought medical help from Shiraha.

At this time, on the southeastern coast of the Land of Fire, on the Whirlpool Peninsula, the center of the Uzumaki clan's territory had doubled in size after six months of expansion, and the adjacent Uchiha clan's territory was no less impressive.

The village of Uzushiogakure is now filled with the new atmosphere of the six great ninja villages. Kushina is now the true queen of the Land of Whirlpools and the shadow of Uzushiogakure.

In response, Kushina once complained that the title 'Vortex Shadow' didn't sound very good.

"The Otsutsuki clan?! The Divine Tree is the source of the Rinnegan! Cloning technology? The Kara organization! It's unbelievable..." Bai Yu, who was in the underground laboratory, stopped his experiment after receiving the memories of the avatar "Uchiha Issei". His heart was in turmoil for a long time.

"So, it seems that the place I visited in my dream when I was promoted might be the birthplace of the Otsutsuki clan?"

Bai Yu pondered to himself, constantly sorting through the memories he had obtained from Yicheng.

"The clones have reached this level of power, Kashin Koji."

This trip to another world has brought Bai Yu tremendous gains, far exceeding his expectations.

Parallel worlds—things recorded in ancient texts—actually exist.

Most importantly, they encountered strong individuals like the adult Naruto and the adult Sasuke, who were relatively easy to talk to.

The two sides shared a common enemy, making them a perfect match.

After figuring all this out, Bai Yu felt it was necessary to adjust his future plans.

Having gained the advantage of 'plot foresight', the direction forward became much clearer, and the previously mysterious Sage of Six Paths became less intimidating.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu did not immediately digest the large amount of memories he had obtained from the soul clone, but instead left the underground laboratory first.

He stayed here all this time, leaving the matter of rebuilding the country to Kushina and Chiho, acting as a hands-off manager.

When Bai Yu arrived at the center of the village, the rebuilt Vortex Shadow Building was much more luxurious than before. It was entirely made of wood. Bai Yu's current level of Wood Release was probably much stronger than that of Nawaki, the grandson of the First Hokage, and only slightly weaker than "Kodama" who had learned the Shikkotsu Forest Sage Technique.

However, it's more than enough to build a house.

"Lord Bai Yu."

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Vortex Building, the ninjas on guard all bowed respectfully to Bai Yu.

"Thank you for your hard work." Bai Yu smiled and nodded, then walked over.

He arrived on the third floor and had just stepped out of the stairwell outside Vortex's office when he heard a commotion.

"Lady Kushina, you said you would give us a new arrangement last time. So much time has passed, have you made the arrangement yet?"

"We can't just stay in the village doing nothing forever, can we?!"

"When the Uchiha clan joined the village, it was agreed that they would be treated equally. Why don't we feel equal when it comes to fulfilling our obligations?"

"Yicheng has been away from the village for so long, more than half a year now. Why hasn't he come back yet? Has he encountered some danger?"

"Lady Kushina, please give us a straight answer!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and walked towards the office.

"As I said, there are some things that Bai Yu needs to explain to you. Yi Cheng accepted Bai Yu's request and went to carry out a classified mission. Apart from Bai Yu, no one knows where he went." Kushina's helpless voice rang out. Although these Uchiha clansmen were emotional, they were expressing legitimate demands, which she definitely had to take seriously.

"Everyone, please calm down. The Land of Whirlpools has only just been rebuilt, and we still have many things to deal with. Kushina will definitely respond to everyone's requests. Now, I hope everyone can calm down first."

As soon as Kushina finished speaking, Chiho came to her rescue, trying to persuade the clansmen.

"Chiho, are you really the head of the Uchiha clan? What we need is a problem-solving attitude, not unreasonable arguments. Why aren't you speaking up for the Uchiha?" The Uchiha Jonin were still very unconvinced.

At that moment, Bai Yu's undisguised footsteps rang out.

The ninjas in the office all turned to look, and when they saw Bai Yu, more than a dozen Jonin from the Uchiha clan bowed respectfully.

"Lord Bai Yu."

"Lord Baiyu, you've finally arrived."

"Please give us a clear answer today; we can't wait any longer."

Seeing that the Uchiha Jonin were very agitated, and having only heard the gist of what had happened, Bai Yu waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down, before looking at Kushina.

Kushina spread her hands, a look of bewilderment on her face.

Chiho gave an embarrassed smile.

Seeing this, Bai Yu went to the desk, pulled out a chair and sat down, saying, "Tell me one problem at a time, and I'll help you solve them."

Despite his calm expression and even tone, the Uchiha Jonin felt an invisible pressure.

However, being Uchiha, they spoke without hesitation. Immediately, a Jonin stepped forward and said, "The Land of Whirlpools has just been rebuilt, and there are clearly many things that can be done in the village."

We also wanted to help rebuild the village, but they wouldn't let us get involved at all.

The village has very few missions to assign, and they mostly cater to genin (lower-ranking ninja), leaving us jonin with absolutely nothing to do.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu nodded and said, "Our future development direction in the Land of Whirlpools is commerce and industry. Therefore, in terms of mission commissions, we will not compete with the other five great ninja villages for mission commission quotas. This was agreed upon at the Five Kage Summit and is a major policy for the country's future development, so it will not be easily changed."

"As for the reconstruction of the country, there are many things that require your help but you cannot get involved in..." Bai Yu looked at Kushina with a questioning gaze.

"The rest are just miscellaneous tasks, which I basically handed over to the Uzumaki clan members who are already good at these kinds of jobs. After all, the Uchiha aren't good at things like building houses, planning roads, and allocating shops. That's what I considered," Kushina explained.

"Then why don't we help with maintaining order in the village anymore? Back in Konoha, the Uchiha clan controlled the police force and had the important responsibility of maintaining order in Konoha. Now that we don't have to do that anymore, how is this any different from when we were in Konoha?"

Another Uchiha Jonin asked, "It's not that they like to act as 'city management officers' to maintain order, but rather that they don't participate in the daily operations of the village. Naturally, they are easily kicked out of the political center and gradually marginalized, just like they were in Konoha."

“Yeah, how do you explain this?” Bai Yu looked at Kushina and questioned her, seemingly not intending to speak up for her at all, but rather appearing to be on the side of the Uchiha clan.

"?" Kushina paused for a moment, her eyes seeming to say, "Think carefully before you speak, watch your attitude." However, after noticing that the emotions of the Uchiha Jonin had clearly calmed down, she realized what she meant and explained:

"Since the main development direction in the future is commerce and industry, the village will naturally focus on commercial development."

Therefore, maintaining public order mainly involves maintaining order among ordinary people, and at most, only a few low-ranking ninjas are needed to maintain public order.

Besides, aren't there Uchiha clan genin in the village's security force? I didn't discriminate against them."

"Those genin are just clansmen who haven't awakened their Sharingan yet, there are only a few of them, so why won't they let us join the security management team?" The Uchiha jonin still seemed somewhat unconvinced.

Kushina said somewhat helplessly, "It's not that I don't want you to join the security management team, but you are all Jonin. It would be a waste of your talents to let you do this kind of work that ordinary people can do."

Besides, we're all from the same village. Most of the time, we're dealing with minor disputes. What's the point of having you Jonin handle them? It would also damage the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the villagers. There's no need to do that.

Furthermore, very few Uchiha clan genin joined the security management team because many of them were unwilling to join, feeling that handling interpersonal relationships was not their forte. Therefore, only a few female ninjas joined.

"Is...is that really true? Is it because the younger generation doesn't want to join?" The Uchiha Jonin looked at each other, their expressions somewhat embarrassed.

Bai Yu quickly realized what was going on and asked, "You didn't exclude those ignorant clansmen during the clan meeting without consulting them, did you?"

They're all from the same ninja clan and village, so why do they have to open their Sharingan to participate in decision-making? Besides, many times, things don't need to be handled with force.

During their time in Konoha, the Uchiha clan incurred the wrath of the villagers and were ostracized by them because they controlled the police force, were too strong in combat, and were not good at getting along with people.

Kushina followed my advice and that's why she didn't let you continue with similar work.

“This was an oversight on my part as the clan leader,” Chiho said, taking the initiative to admit her mistake.

"This isn't Chiho's fault. It was our subconscious decision to look down and ask for opinions, which was just wishful thinking." The Uchiha Jonin who had just questioned them was somewhat embarrassed.

"In case the village encounters any special circumstances, they'll surely need us Jonin, right?"

"Yes, the genin maintain order among ordinary people, but if the village encounters an emergency, the ninjas also need to react quickly, right?"

"We Uchiha are indeed treated much better than we are in Konoha, but we do nothing, making it seem like we are useless."

Another Uchiha Jonin offered a different opinion.

"Actually, the village is planning to establish a rapid reaction force, similar to the Jonin squad in Konoha, which will be directly under my command. However, I was planning to choose the squad leader from Chiho, Shisui, Issei, and the village's Jonin, but Shisui and Issei are both away on missions, and Chiho is unwilling to serve as the Jonin squad leader. So I have to wait until Shisui and Issei finish their missions before making a choice."

Kushina continued.

The Uchiha Jonin stared wide-eyed, seemingly unable to understand why Chiho would refuse such a good opportunity—a position similar to that of a Jonin class leader in Konoha, which was a ticket to enter the political center and participate in important high-level decisions.

"It was indeed my own refusal," Chiho nodded. She only wanted to be Kushina's assistant. If she were to become the Jonin class leader, she would have to be stationed at the Jonin class. Although she would be able to have frequent contact with Kushina, she wouldn't be able to accompany Kushina almost all the time to handle official business, as she is now.

Because Bai Yu's attitude seems clear, but he is very considerate of Kushina's feelings.

Therefore, if Chiho wants to become Shiraha's wife, she must gain Kushina's approval in order to maintain family harmony.

Spending every day with Kushina is undoubtedly the best way to improve their relationship. In the past six months, Chiho and Kushina have been inseparable.

Chiho didn't care at all about being a Jonin class leader or political power.
