Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

"Why not? It's not like I'm asking you to release the Nine-Tails right now."

Moreover, if one day your strength becomes as great as that of the First Hokage, you will no longer be afraid of the Nine-Tails.

You can try to get along with Kurama (the Nine-Tails) first.

Bai Yu explained.

What we need to do now is appease the Nine-Tailed Fox and gain its cooperation. We can deal with the rest later. Can't you just make empty promises?

"How do I get along with Kurama?" Kushina was stunned.

"You can experience for yourself what the Nine-Tailed Fox is really like. Maybe it's not inherently evil? Didn't I tell you to look at things dialectically?"

"Huh? I forgot." Kushina smiled sheepishly, blinking her beautiful big eyes, trying to get away with it by being cute.

"..." Bai Yu was speechless. It seemed that making Kushina smarter wouldn't be a matter of a day or two; just talking about it wouldn't work, he would have to slowly guide and teach her.

"Since you've put it that way, Bai Yu, then I'll reluctantly try to get along with this silly fox."

Kushina continued.

"Don't call me a stupid fox! You wretched human brat!" The Nine-Tailed Fox's angry voice echoed in the sealed space.

"Ugh... that stupid fox is angry again. It really has a terrible temper!" Kushina couldn't help but complain.

"That's where you're wrong."

"Ah I?"

"How do you feel when people initially called you 'Tomato' and now call you 'Bloody Red Pepper'?"

"I definitely want to beat him up!" Kushina waved her fist.

"So, you should address it as Nine-Tailed Fox-san politely. You should try to win it over with love!"

"Love? For the Nine-Tails?"

"Correct!"

"Well... I'll give it a try. I'm only doing this because of you."

Kushina said with a forced expression that she preferred cats to dogs.

"I will not accept your charity!" Nine-Tailed Fox was furious and embarrassed. Did these two human brats even understand fox language? This was utter nonsense!

"It's angry again," Kushina relayed.

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Maybe she's just shy or reserved. I can understand."

Kushina: "..."

Nine-Tailed Fox: "*****"

......

For the next month, as promised, Bai Yu practiced with Kushina every morning.

On Sunday morning, as soon as the two met, Kushina winked at Shiraha, which looked like she was flirting.

Bai Yu immediately understood and leaned close to her, whispering, "Go ahead and speak, no one is watching."

This is a pre-arranged code between the two.

"Baiyu, I slept very well last night!" Kushina said excitedly.

"?" Bai Yu was taken aback. Was it necessary to confirm with a code before speaking?

However, he quickly realized, "Is it because the Nine-Tails didn't cause any trouble?"

“Yes!” Kushina nodded heavily: “When I was sleeping before, my body would get hot whenever the Nine-Tails’ chakra appeared, and then I would wake up from the heat.”

This greatly affects my sleep quality; it's constantly trying to disrupt it.

This morning when I got up to refine my chakra, I found that the interference I was experiencing had decreased.

You said I'm stupid... Is Nine-Tails afraid of...?

Bai Yu quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth.

Teammates who are terrible at managing each other are so hard to handle!

"This is called cooperation! You moved Kushina with your love, do you understand?!" Bai Yu stared at Kushina with wide eyes, giving her an expression that said, "If you dare to say anything else, I'll eat you up."

"Hmm...hmm!" Kushina finally realized what was happening.

There's nothing we can do; she's always been carefree and outspoken, and it's not something she can change immediately.

During this time, she often went to the sealed space to talk to Nine-Tails. Although Nine-Tails was always indifferent, it would still reply to her a few words.

It seems that Bai Yu's method really works!

"It was my...love that moved the Nine-Tailed Fox...Sang, I will continue to get along well with it."

Inside the sealed space, the Nine-Tails slightly opened its closed eyes and its erect ears twitched gently.

Just like that brat said, that brat named Kushina didn't do it willingly either.

The Nine-Tails could sense the fear and unease deep within her heart.

This is its first step.

One last attempt to trust humanity.

This is its "magnanimity" as the strongest tailed beast; it can't afford to argue with a brat.

Thinking this, Nine-Tails felt a little uncomfortable in its position and wanted to turn over, but the golden chains binding it prevented it from moving.

Nine-Tails flew into a rage, "You wretched brat! Who wants to get along with humans!"

"It's swearing again," Kushina said helplessly.

This nine-tailed fox has such a bad temper. If only it could be like Bai Yu, so many people would like it.

"Use—love." Bai Yu didn't say anything, but just mouthed the words.

"I understand..." Kushina sighed.

Anyway, she didn't really believe that the Nine-Tails could coexist peacefully with humans, but she trusted Bai Yu. Moreover, after spending time together, she wasn't so afraid of the Nine-Tails anymore, and it didn't seem as terrifying as the rumors suggested.

"Let's do our morning exercise first," Bai Yu suggested.

The key point isn't what Kurama said, but what it did.

Bai Yu's first life experience taught him that no one in this world could escape Emperor Jingze's "true fragrance law".

There are no "people"!

......

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was September of Konoha Year 33.

The first day of the second semester of fourth grade.

During class, Bai Yu noticed that many familiar faces were missing.

Minato Namikaze is gone.

In addition, there were a few students who had good grades but were not from the ninja clan.

These are all students who previously clamored to graduate early.

"Classmates, Minato, Yusuke, Yamazaki... a total of 8 people in our class have passed the test for early graduation and become proud Konoha genin."

I hope everyone will take them as role models and continue to work hard.

When the homeroom teacher, Sakamoto Midorikawa, arrived, he explained the situation.

However, Bai Yu discovered that all the powerful ninja clan members, such as Hyuga Doma and Sarutobi Keita, were present.

It seems that the glorious Konoha genin will be given to ordinary people.

After all, it's wartime now.

Of the eight who graduated, apart from Minato Namikaze, the others were far behind Hakuba. Weren't they worried about being assigned to a class led by a Chunin?

Konoha's system of having experienced ninja mentors guide three new recruits.

However, Jonin are a scarce resource, so they are definitely Jonin who lead geniuses and ninja clan members.

Those who come from ordinary backgrounds and lack talent, are graduating so early, are they afraid that the grass on their graves will grow faster than others?

While it's not yet time to send newly graduated genin to the front lines, dangerous missions will inevitably have to be carried out sooner or later when manpower is insufficient.

......

Saturday morning.

"boom!"

A loud bang came from the dense forest behind the ninja academy.

A large tree, as thick as two people could hug, was snapped in half, with the upper part exploding and wood chips flying everywhere.

All of this was caused by a small, white fist.

The owner of the fist was a girl with long, fiery red hair that reached her waist. Her smooth hair was tied up with a black ribbon. She wore a beige short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and a black belt around her waist, which made her waist look even more slender.

The black over-the-knee stockings on her lower body accentuated the girl's long, shapely legs.

Faced with Kushina's completely transformed look, which was far from her usual dowdy style and instead highlighted her stunning beauty, Shiraha had no interest in appreciating her at all, and instead swore for the first time.

"Holy crap!"

Bai Yu stared at the broken tree beside him, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, his face pale, and said:

"Kushina...do you want to kill me?"

"Huh? Haha! I just wanted to test the power of the breathing technique!" Kushina laughed, looking a little embarrassed. She hadn't expected the breathing technique taught by Shiraha to be so terrifying.

"You..." Bai Yu was speechless for a long time, and could only give a thumbs up to show that Kushina was awesome.

He never expected that Kushina's talent in the Knight Breathing Technique would be so high!

Since he hadn't reached the third-level apprentice stage, he couldn't help Kushina test her wizarding talent. Teaching her meditation techniques rashly would be dangerous, so he taught her "Red Dragon's Calamity".

Kushina only trained for a year before surpassing Shiraha's progress in breathing techniques.

The power of this punch is definitely close to that of a full-fledged Rider!
