Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Immediately afterwards, flames half the height of a person intertwined with the crimson aura emanating from Bai Yu's body. As time passed, these flames gradually faded, seemingly being completely absorbed by Bai Yu.

The silvery-white scales on Bai Yu's body also had a faint blush of red, and hot white breath was exhaled from the tip of his nose.

"How is it?" Guoxin Jushi asked subconsciously. Someone was actually able to resist the Samadhi True Fire with their physical body and even devour it. This was the ultimate move he had prepared to use against Cixuan.

"I feel great!" Bai Yu grinned, his smile appearing slightly eerie beneath the silvery-white scales.

The Samadhi Fire really works!

[234.Chapter 227 Nine Tails]

"..." Guoxin Jushi looked at Bai Yu and fell silent.

He seems to really enjoy being burned by the Samadhi Fire?

Bai Yu said seriously, "You said that the Samadhi True Fire was summoned from the Flaming Mountain, so how many Samadhi True Fires are there in the Flaming Mountain?"

"This... I don't know either. The Samadhi True Fire of Flaming Mountain is inexhaustible. Even if I am a contractor, I cannot get close to this flame that can burn everything." Guoxin Jushi answered truthfully, because a voice that seemed to come from his subconscious kept appearing in his heart, constantly reminding him not to disobey or deceive Bai Yu.

"Do you know the exact location of the Flaming Mountain? I want to sign a spiritual contract with the Flaming Mountain."

Bai Yu continued, saying that if possible, he would naturally prefer to cultivate the Samadhi True Fire on his own, so that he wouldn't have to rely on Guoxin Jushi for help every time.

"I have never been to the Flaming Mountain and do not know its exact location. I am a clone of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha. My Sage Mode is something I already knew; I did not learn it from the Flaming Mountain."

Whether it was the spirit contract or the summoning of the Samadhi Fire of Flaming Mountain, it was all something I was passively chosen by the Toad Elder of Flaming Mountain.

Even if I give you the spirit scroll without their consent, you cannot form a blood pact with them.

Guoxin Jushi said.

“I understand. Summon Elder Toad now, and I will speak with him in person,” Bai Yu said thoughtfully. Guoxin Jushi had absorbed his blood, so he couldn’t deceive him. What he said was naturally true, unless some so-called Elder Toad was lying. But that was simple; he could find out by trying.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Guoxin Jushi explained, "It's just that the space here is too small. If Elder Toad were to appear, it would burst this place."

"Okay, let's go out together."

Bai Yu nodded, then walked directly towards the wall of the room. To Guoxin Jushi's astonishment, Bai Yu's body passed right through the wall.

Seeing this, Koshin followed, his body passing through the wall. He was completely unaware that the wall was actually made of a barrier, and that the barrier seemed to be very special, emitting a unique energy fluctuation that was different from chakra.

The moment he passed through the wall, Guoxin Jushi felt the blinding sunlight before his eyes, and he subconsciously squinted.

Just a moment ago we were in a dimly lit underground room, and now we're in a brightly lit valley. How did this happen?

A spatial barrier?!

However, he did not sense any chakra fluctuations at all. Even when Cixuan used his spatial abilities, chakra fluctuations would occur.

This man named Yagami Shiraha has a big secret.

"Is this okay?" Bai Yu said. He hadn't been idle for the past six months. He had finally learned the [Teleportation Spell], which he hadn't mastered before. However, since it involved spatial magic, it was too difficult to fully master it. He had only grasped the basic spell model. The preparation time for casting the spell was too long, making it impossible to cast it instantly. However, after combining it with the witch array, he could perform fixed-point teleportation.

The current Teleportation Technique has a distance limit, but according to its description, it can be used for inter-world teleportation when the spatial rules are not too different, making it much stronger than spatial ninjutsu like Flying Thunder God.

Of course, according to the memories of Naruto and Sasuke from the other world, it is still much inferior to Kaguya Otsutsuki's "Amenominaka".

There's nothing we can do about it; one is just a level two spell, while the other is a talent ability close to that of a level four life form.

"Yes." Koshin nodded, then bit his finger, formed hand seals, and began to release a large amount of chakra.

Bang!

A large cloud of smoke rose, but when it dissipated, there was nothing there.

"What's going on?" Koshin Koji was stunned. He then used the summoning technique again, this time using all the remaining chakra.

Bang!

Once again, there was nothing.

Guoxin Jushi looked at Bai Yu.

"No need to summon anymore." Bai Yu waved his hand, signaling Guoxin Jushi to stop.

Using so much chakra would normally drain a Kage-level shinobi completely, but Kashin Koji, as a clone of Jiraiya and with enhanced cells, couldn't summon the Toad Elder even with so much chakra, so the problem clearly isn't with him.

If it's not due to the barrier of another world, then it's because the toads in the Flaming Mountain don't want to appear.

Whatever the reason, Bai Yu has to investigate it slowly.

After absorbing a small amount of Samadhi True Fire from Guoxin Jushi's spiritual communication, he felt that his "Colossus Secret Martial Arts," which had long been at a bottleneck, was showing signs of a breakthrough.

Furthermore, his mental energy was greatly depleted, but it became more refined. Once he recovered, he could repeat the process. With Guoxin Jushi present, the Samadhi True Fire he summoned was enough to accelerate the materialization of his mental energy.

According to Bai Yu's original estimate, it would take at least thirty to forty years to complete the process of vaporizing, liquefying, and crystallizing spiritual energy. However, if he were to use the Samadhi True Fire, the time would be shortened by at least half.

Most importantly, given the effects exhibited by the Samadhi True Fire, even if Bai Yu reaches level three, he should still be able to use it; the only difference will be the quantity.

Once his strength has increased further, he can go and find the location of the Flaming Mountain.

The most urgent task is to conduct cell research. Urashiki Otsutsuki still has a few cells left, and Issei also brought back the Mangekyou Sharingan, which contains spatial abilities.

Perhaps through experimentation, the Mangekyou Sharingan could evolve into the Eternal Eye, or even be used to conduct fusion experiments of multiple Mangekyou Sharingan.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu looked up at the sky, towards the direction of the moon.

He had basically broken the Caged Bird Seal, but unexpectedly, after fusing with the Byakugan, he had the opportunity to unlock the Tenseigan, which was comparable to the Rinnegan, and his combat power seemed to be even stronger.

This journey to another world also allowed Bai Yu to finally find his future direction.

He will have many experiments and things to do for at least the next ten years, and he probably won't be able to stay idle.

Bai Yu silently recited a spell, and a teleportation array with a diameter of over three meters appeared beneath his feet. He grabbed Guo Xin Jushi's shoulder, and the two disappeared.

......

The 55th year of Konoha was drawing to a close, and December arrived.

The City of Fire.

Suburbs.

This place contains the largest temple in the Land of Fire, and even in the entire ninja world.

The monks in the temple are ninja monks who primarily study Buddhist teachings and secondarily train their chakra.

Of course, most monks only have a rudimentary grasp of chakra manipulation techniques, so their combat strength may not be as good as that of well-trained genin in Konoha. However, a few ninja monks who specialize in protecting temples are the type with extremely strong combat power.

Among them, Jiriku, the 22-year-old abbot of the Fire Temple, is one of the best, known as a "talent of the immortals" and one of the "Twelve Guardian Ninjas" who closely protect the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

The entire Fire Temple is completely covered by a huge sealing barrier called the Iron Wall Seal, which has extremely strong defensive capabilities. Even a Kage-level powerhouse cannot easily break through the barrier. They must first destroy the two stone statues located at the main entrance. These two stone statues are the core of the Iron Wall Seal barrier.

The stone statue is integrated with the entire gate and wall, and ordinary ninjutsu is unlikely to be effective in destroying it.

Therefore, an extremely powerful physical attack is needed to instantly destroy the stone statue in order to break the entire 'Iron Wall Seal' in one fell swoop.

Today, the Fire Temple welcomed a group of guests who had traveled all the way from Konoha.

Among them were not only several Konoha Jonin, but also Nawaki, the grandson of the First Hokage and the younger brother of medical expert Tsunade, who had mastered Wood Release ninjutsu and made a name for himself in the ninja world.

Nawaki has now truly become a top-tier powerhouse in Konoha.

Among this group, the most unique figure was a short man following at the back of the crowd. The only child in the group was Naruto Namikaze, the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

After experiencing the incident where most of the Uchiha clan left Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi clearly realized that Konoha's fighting strength was insufficient. Therefore, he decided to adopt Danzo's suggestion to make Naruto a pseudo Nine-Tails Jinchuriki as soon as possible and train him as a disciple to prevent the scene from repeating itself.

To ensure the successful transfer of the tailed beast's chakra, Hiruzen Sarutobi not only personally came to the Fire Temple, but also summoned Nawaki, the only person in the village skilled in Wood Release ninjutsu, just in case.

"Welcome to the Temple of Fire, everyone. I am Jiriku, the head priest of the Temple of Fire."

As the stone statue at the entrance of the Fire Temple gently turned, the massive stone gate slowly opened, revealing an exit from the barrier. Jiraiya led a group of monks to welcome Nawaki and the others.

“Master Jiraiya, I apologize for disturbing you.” Nawaki said with his hands clasped together, “The Third Hokage is talking with the Daimyo and will be here soon. We’ve come here to make preparations.”

“I understand. I’ve already evacuated all the monks from the temple. Now it’s just us here. The barrier is ready.” Jiraiya nodded, glanced at Naruto behind the group, and seeing that Naruto was only about seven or eight years old, he couldn’t help but feel compassion and pity. He said gently, “Is this the child?”

“Yes.” Upon hearing this, Nawaki waved to Naruto at the back of the crowd. When Naruto walked up to him, he explained to Jiraiya, “He is the son of the Fourth Hokage, and his name is Namikaze Naruto.”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the usually lively Naruto became a little reserved, because before he came, the Third Hokage had told him to do a favor and make a sacrifice for Konoha.

Although Naruto was afraid of the unknown, he was not so afraid of sacrificing himself for the village.

Naruto aspires to be a successor of the Will of Fire, just like his father, the Fourth Hokage, and his grandfather, the Third Hokage.

To become stronger, he needs the power of the Nine-Tails' chakra, only then can he better protect the people of the village and safeguard Konoha.

"Please follow me." Jiro clasped his hands together, then stepped aside, gesturing for everyone to follow him into the Temple of Fire.

"Let's go, Naruto." Seeing Naruto's tense expression, Nawaki smiled and gently patted his shoulder.

Actually, Nawaki didn't quite understand why Naruto had to be made the vessel to contain the Nine-Tails.

Although only a very small number of ninjas can withstand the chakra of tailed beasts, requiring a special physique, Nawaki is already an adult, unlike Naruto, and has awakened the same Wood Release as his grandfather Hashirama. Wood Release ninjutsu has a clear restraining effect on tailed beasts, so if the Third Hokage asked him to become a Jinchuriki, Nawaki would not refuse.

Even when Nawaki volunteered to take on the responsibility when the Third Hokage was choosing Naruto, the Third Hokage still refused.

The reason the Third Hokage gave him was simple: it was unknown whether the Tailed Beast's chakra would affect Wood Release, and it was best for a Jinchuriki to get used to the Tailed Beast's chakra from a young age.

Nawaki couldn't refute these two points either, as his understanding of Jinchuriki mainly came from his grandmother Mito and his cousin Kushina.

Perhaps the Uzumaki clan's physique is more suitable to become a Jinchūriki. Naruto has half Uzumaki blood in his veins, and considering his future growth, he seems to be a more suitable candidate to become a Jinchūriki than Naruto.

Rope Tree couldn't say anything more about this.

More than half a year ago, when the Uchiha clan rioted and most of the clan members left Konoha, Shiraha returned to Konoha. Nawaki did not stop him or stand against Shiraha, so he could clearly feel that the Third Hokage's attitude had changed.

Furthermore, after that incident, the third generation's style of doing things changed, becoming much more decisive, seemingly regaining the demeanor of his youth.

The group followed Jiriku into the Fire Temple and soon arrived at the shrine behind it. The entire shrine exuded a powerful chakra aura, the source of which was the well inside the shrine that appeared to have dried up.

Sealed inside is the chakra of the Nine-Tails, the strongest of the nine tailed beasts.

Even though only a portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra was sealed inside, and only a very small amount of chakra was leaking out due to the seal, the Jonin present still felt an ominous atmosphere in the air. Despite the clear blue sky, they felt a chilling aura emanating from them.

"So powerful!" Nawaki felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed the violent aura emanating from the Nine-Tails. This was only a small portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra, yet it was already so terrifying. He wondered how Grandma Mito and Kushina had managed to subdue the Nine-Tails.

As Nawaki awakens Wood Release and grows stronger, he enjoys greater prestige in the ninja world. However, he becomes even more aware of his own weakness and the limitations of human capabilities.

Legend has it that his grandfather Hashirama's Wood Release could suppress the complete Nine-Tails. Even if Wood Release is effective against tailed beasts, it would still require a similar amount of chakra to achieve that. However, Nawaki simply cannot imagine how a human could possess that amount of chakra.

Especially considering that Grandpa Hashirama was also a mortal, a human being who would age, get injured, and die, why is the difference between them so great?

"If I absorb the Nine-Tails' chakra, will the power of my Wood Release increase even further? It seems the Third Hokage was unwilling to let me become the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki because... what am I thinking?!"
