Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

"Am I too late?"

As Issei sensed the surging chakra of the dragon vein, he immediately used a sealing technique to reseal the dragon vein.

At this moment, Issei's expression suddenly became a bit strange. He immediately activated his "Sixth Sense" to enhance his perception. The energy particles that were overflowing in the underground space contained a special chakra energy field.

"This chakra... could it have been left behind by the Otsutsuki clan?"

Through Naruto and Sasuke's memories, Issei has learned about the characteristics of the Otsutsuki clan's chakra. The total amount of this chakra is not large, but its quality is extremely high, and the energy field it emits is exceptionally unique.

"It seems we need to let the main body take a look."

Thinking of this, Issei took out a scroll from his pocket, and from the scroll he took out a pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Then he began to inscribe a magic circle next to the dragon vein, using the spatial ability contained in the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to construct a teleportation magic circle.

He brought back four pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan from a parallel world, and through Bai Yu's experiments, he successfully obtained two pairs of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

One of the white feathers remained in the underground laboratory of the Land of Whirlpools, serving as the core of the teleportation magic array.

The other pair was given to Issei, firstly to enhance Issei's combat power, and secondly to build a teleportation array in the Land of Demons, so that they could be transferred as quickly as possible.

Buzzing...

As soon as the teleportation array was successfully constructed, the energy particles in the space instantly became active.

Yicheng communicated with the real Baiyu through a soul connection.

At this moment, the mysterious patterns on the teleportation array lit up.

The next second, Bai Yu walked out from there.

"The residual emotional power is very strong," Bai Yu said with a look of surprise.

Sensing the lingering emotional energy in the space, Bai Yu activated the "Chain of Emotions." This emotion, called despair, was so intense that he could not ignore it.

"And this chakra aura..."

Although Bai Yu and his avatar Yi Cheng share the same perception abilities, as a level two spirit summoner, Bai Yu's spiritual power is about to enter the liquefaction stage, and his ability to sense energy particles is dozens or even hundreds of times greater than that of his avatar.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Bai Yu released his magic power. The energy particles that had been released after the defensive magic array broke, carrying with them the chakra of the First Style, gathered towards him.

Soon, after the magic was removed and purified, a small ball of extremely pure chakra appeared in Bai Yu's palm.

"The chakra of the Otsutsuki clan... Could it be that Naruto and Sasuke from the parallel world didn't kill Isshiki? Judging from the remaining emotional energy, it's highly likely that Isshiki was critically injured and on the verge of death, and managed to escape with a small portion of his chakra. Otherwise, an ordinary person wouldn't be able to break through the defensive shamanic array so quickly."

Bai Yu pondered to himself, his expression gradually becoming serious. He then sealed the ball of chakra away with a scroll.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu immediately ordered his avatar, Issei, who was standing beside him: "Go to the parallel world immediately to find Naruto and Sasuke and find out what's going on."

"Yes." Yicheng immediately walked towards the dragon vein seal.

With a wave of his right hand, Bai Yu sent a rhombus-shaped crystal flying out from the sleeve of his silver-white wizard's robe and into Yi Cheng's body. As the materialization of his spiritual power deepened, his skill in creating enchanted items improved, and he seemed to have a great talent for it.

After Yicheng activated the Dragon Vein and disappeared within it, Baiyu set up a huge defensive magic array around them, covering the teleportation magic array as well.

This way, if anyone else triggers the defensive magic array, he can immediately use "teleportation" to get there.

Instead of waiting for Issei to return, Bai Yu activated the teleportation array and returned to the underground laboratory of the Uzushiogakure office building.

"Although Isshiki's chakra is of higher quality than the chakra remaining in Urashiki's body tissues, its purity seems insufficient. If I can't use it, Kushina should be able to."

Bai Yu stood before the enormous cultivation vessel and fell into deep thought.

Kushina has basically mastered most of the Nine-Tails' power, but the reason she cannot fully master it is still due to her bloodline and physique.

If she were to fuse with Isshiki's Otsutsuki chakra and receive an Otsutsuki cell transplant, the probability of her awakening the Tenseigan would be very high.

In this way, her combat power should undergo a qualitative change. When combined with the Nine-Tails Sage Mode, her strength will probably not be inferior to Naruto from the parallel world.

As for Bai Yu, in order not to affect the purity and quality of his bloodline, the path of a sorcerer is the key, and at most, the evolution path of the Rinnegan can be taken into account.

Now that he has the Samadhi Fire to accelerate his cultivation, he plans to focus on materializing his spiritual power.

Whether or not Yishi escaped to their world, he is a huge hidden danger.

There are two versions of this world, and Bai Yu felt very troubled just thinking about it.

Fortunately, neither of them had recovered their strength, so there was still time.

[242. Chapter 235 Orochimaru's Ambition, Information on the Grell Mine]

Six months have passed quietly.

After Isshiki was resurrected using Shennong's body, he was severely injured by Naruto and Sasuke. After passing through the Dragon Vein, he was attacked by both the Dragon Vein Chakra and the defensive magic array. In the end, he had no choice but to use Shennong's body as the final vessel for resurrection.

After half a year, Isshiki had become completely familiar with Shennong's body, but the Kage-level strength of the ninja world was an insult to him.

However, Shennong's physical limits are limited. Although Yishiki was completely resurrected, he could no longer use the Rinnegan and could only use the Byakugan, which was inherent in the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan.

Let alone rising again in this world, it's unknown how many more years it will take to regain our strength.

After much deliberation, Isshiki decided to find someone who could help him regain his strength—Orochimaru.

Based on the memories he obtained from Shennong, Isshiki already knew that Orochimaru was a talent skilled in human research and had even developed a reincarnation technique similar to the 'Karma'.

Although Orochimaru's reincarnation technique seemed crude and unsophisticated to Isshiki, it was quite remarkable from the perspective of a native.

To regain his strength, Isshiki would have to change his vessel. However, he has now completely merged his chakra with Shennong's, so he needs to recover at least one-tenth of his peak chakra before he can give up Shennong's body.

However, Shennong's physique was very ordinary and he could not meet the requirements of the first method.

His best course of action now is to follow the method in Shennong's memory to create Zero-Tails, then fuse Zero-Tails' dark chakra to improve his physique and chakra capacity.

We'll figure out a way to change the container later.

Actually, there is a simpler way: collect the tailed beasts. Unlike Isshiki's own Ten-Tails, which had been starving for over a thousand years, the Ten-Tails in this world was divided into nine tailed beasts by Kaguya's descendants, each of which was in a state of full chakra.

Once he absorbs the Nine-Tails, Isshiki can instantly gain more than half of his chakra.

Of course, he can only think about this for now.

According to Shennong's memories, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Yagami Hakuba were the two strongest people in the ninja world.

If Isshiki still had Jigen as a vessel, he would naturally not take the two of them seriously. However, he has now been resurrected through Shennong's body, and he cannot unleash any of Otsutsuki's powerful abilities.

Even if they encountered a Kage-level ninja whose strength was two levels below that of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Yagami Shiroba, they probably wouldn't be a match for them.

Returning to the Dragon Vein to absorb chakra and recover is a viable option for Isshiki, but the defensive magic array he encountered earlier has left him with psychological trauma.

With their current strength, if they were to go to the Dragon Vein Seal and encounter an ambush, they would likely be walking into a trap.

Furthermore, it's uncertain whether Naruto and Sasuke from the parallel world will relentlessly pursue them all the way here.

Therefore, Isshiki decided to cooperate with Orochimaru.

In Shennong's memory, he and Orochimaru had always had a relationship of mutual exploitation.

Although Orochimaru had developed the Reincarnation Technique and various other means of self-preservation, he still coveted Shennong's forbidden medical technique, Body Regeneration.

For Isshiki, the ability to regenerate flesh was child's play, and he didn't even bother with it.

Once he recovers about one-tenth of his chakra, he will be virtually immortal unless he is completely defeated in terms of raw power.

Using the forbidden medical technique of physical regeneration to exchange for Orochimaru is naturally an excellent bargaining chip.

With this in mind, Isshiki found Orochimaru's base in the Land of Rice Fields by exchanging coded messages with him.

......

The Land of Fields has vast tracts of farmland suitable for cultivation. The terrain is high in the north and low in the south, while the northeastern part, which borders the Land of Iron, is mainly mountainous and hilly.

It would be hard for anyone to imagine that in just a few years, Orochimaru would establish a ninja village—the Sound Village—in this valley surrounded by mountains and forests.

Although the Sound Village is not large, it still has hundreds of ninjas.

For a small country like the Land of Rice Fields, which originally had no ninja forces, a hundred ninjas was an extremely exaggerated number.

Under Orochimaru's influence, the daimyo of the Land of Rice Fields placed a heavy bet on the Village of Sound, even rejecting the offer of a military alliance from the Land of Whirlpools.

It must be said that the reason why the Sound Village has grown to such a scale in just a few years is mainly due to Orochimaru's personal charisma and fame.

Better to be a dog in times of peace than a human in times of chaos.

This statement is not an exaggeration at all.

The Third Shinobi World War basically ended in Konoha in 47, but localized conflicts continued until 51.

It is now the beginning of Konoha 56.

Five years have passed, and the major powers have recovered from the enormous losses of the war. Although it will take longer for them to fully recover, they have basically returned to stability.

However, for small countries, they may not have even recovered from the damage caused by the Second Shinobi World War before the Third Shinobi World War begins.

Almost every major ninja war was fought in small countries.

Commoners and wandering ninjas know the importance of strength, but the five great nations and five great ninja villages will not take in ninjas of unknown origin, or to be precise, they look down on them.

But Orochimaru's appearance gave these people hope.

The Legendary Sannin of Konoha—what a resounding name!

In particular, Orochimaru almost became the Fourth Hokage, and in many people's minds, Orochimaru is a tragic rebel who was subjected to persecution.

Many others saw Orochimaru as a lifeline, actively seeking his help or even willingly becoming his test subjects, all in an effort to gain a sliver of opportunity to rise in society.

Of the hundreds of ninjas in the entire Sound Village, half are wandering ninjas, and the other half are experimental subjects who survived Orochimaru's operating table.

Orochimaru's experiments had a high mortality rate. Many of those who survived were transformed into inhuman beings, but none of them complained. In fact, they were proud to have been Orochimaru's test subjects.

Because those who survived truly became much stronger.

That's enough for them.

Ichishiki traversed the lush mountain paths and finally arrived at the valley where the Sound Village was located.

The ninja who came to greet him led Isshiki to the entrance of the only tall building in the center of the village, and then respectfully said:

"Lord Shennong, Lord Orochimaru is in the laboratory, please come in."

As he spoke, the ninja who was receiving guests stopped at the door, clearly not intending to go in with Isshiki.

The other ninjas who were scattered around training all looked on with envy when they saw Shennong being summoned by Orochimaru alone.

He remained silent and walked into the building.

Following Shennong's memory, Yishi did not go upstairs, but instead went to the innermost room on the first floor. Upon opening the room, a dark, gloomy opening came into view, revealing steps leading to the underground.
