Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Naruto and his thirty-odd shadow clones simultaneously leaped into the air, stepping on the earthen wall.

Kakashi glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye, then leaped into the air.

boom!

A huge golden chain suddenly emerged from the ground and appeared where Kakashi had just been standing.

At this moment, Karin emerged from underground using Earth Release, the end of a golden chain connecting to her lower abdomen.

'This is the Kongo Lockdown?!'

Kakashi looked down at Karin with surprise. He hadn't expected Karin to be able to use the Adamantine Sealing Chains at such a young age. It seemed he had underestimated her.

"Kakashi-sensei, I don't have time for you to look around!"

As Kakashi took to the air, Naruto and over thirty shadow clones simultaneously leaped into the sky, surrounding Kakashi from all sides and launching an attack.

Upon seeing this, Kakashi narrowed his eyes, and a large cluster of leaping arcs of electricity surged from all directions around him.

'Chidori Stream!'

Thump thump thump...

Naruto's shadow clones were all wiped out by Kakashi's attack.

"Ah!" Naruto cried out in pain in mid-air, his body crackling with faint arcs of electricity, before crashing to the ground.

However, Sasuke suddenly emerged from the smoke dissipating from the shadow clones. Sasuke's eyes were bloodshot, his black twin tomoe were slightly clenched, and his left hand was enveloped in a ball of lightning chakra. The arcs of electricity released by Chidori Stream were all attracted to this ball of chakra, so Sasuke was not paralyzed by the lightning chakra.

"what?!"

Kakashi was also taken aback.

The golden chains beneath him suddenly rose into the air and tightly bound Kakashi's body.

At that moment, Karin leaped into the air and attacked Kakashi from behind.

"Well done!" Naruto, who had fallen to the ground, couldn't help but cheer.

Seeing that Kakashi had been captured, Sasuke clenched his fist just before his left-hand thrust was about to hit Kakashi, thus reducing the thrusting power of his Lightning Release. Even if it hit Kakashi, who was skilled in Lightning Release, it wouldn't cause him much damage.

boom!

Crackling sounds!

Sasuke and Karin struck Kakashi simultaneously, but Kakashi's body exploded, turning into a large ball of flashing electric arcs.

"what!"

Sasuke and Karin cried out in pain at the same time and fell from mid-air.

"Lightning Release: Shadow Clone Technique? When?!" Sasuke looked incredulous.

At that moment, Kakashi emerged from the ground not far from the three of them and nodded, saying:

"Naruto pretended to deviate from the plan, trying to make me underestimate you. Then, while I was using Earth Release: Earth Wall for defense, he had Sasuke use the Transformation Jutsu to transform into your appearance in my blind spot, impersonating your shadow clone."

In this situation, you deliberately expose Karin, and then recklessly launch another attack.

It seems you already knew about me beforehand, even taking into account that I might use the new technique, Chidori Stream.

Sasuke, you learned Chidori from Itachi, right? The three of you are all very good, and your teamwork is almost perfect. Even a regular Jonin would probably be no match for you.

"You passed!"

As he spoke, Kakashi gave the three of them a thumbs up and a smile appeared on his face.

Based on this, given their skill level, the three of them are fully capable of participating in the Chunin Selection Exams a few months from now. At that time, they can also enter the venue together, go to the Third Hokage's side, and assist Orochimaru in his revenge against Konoha!

"Kakashi-sensei, when did you use Lightning Release: Shadow Clone Technique?!" Karin asked, looking puzzled.

Kakashi: "Just as I was telling you to prepare the battle plan."

"As expected of Kakashi-sensei, he's really amazing."

Naruto said with a look of admiration.

"Kakashi, you deliberately let us subdue you at the end, didn't you?" Sasuke suddenly asked.

"I was initially worried that you and Naruto didn't get along well! I didn't expect you two to have such great chemistry." Kakashi smiled and changed the subject.

“Who’s on good terms with him!” Sasuke retorted. “I just don’t want to be held back by him.”

"Do you think I like you?" Naruto said angrily.

"To celebrate the formation of Class 7, I'll treat you guys to dinner. How about barbecue?"

Kakashi waved his hand.

"Great! Long live Kakashi-sensei!" Karin jumped up with joy.

Kakashi was both amused and exasperated. It was just a dinner invitation; why was he getting so worked up?

however--

Two hours later.

BBQ shop.

The shopkeeper, holding the bill, looked at Kakashi with a smile: "This meal cost a total of 417,500 taels. I'll round it down for you. Thank you for your patronage."

Kakashi paused in his act of taking out his money, staring blankly at the shopkeeper. He then glanced at Naruto and Sasuke, who were still competing to see who could eat the most, and at Karin, who had the most plates piled up in front of her. Finally, he gave the shopkeeper an awkward look again.

"Um, I didn't bring enough money..."

"This is a small business, so we don't offer credit." The owner's smile remained unchanged; no one could eat on credit.

At this moment, Sasuke pulled out a thick wallet from his ninja tool pouch, which was filled with more than a hundred 10,000 ryo banknotes.

"keep the change."

Sasuke pulled out 42 ten-thousand-yuan bills and handed them to the shopkeeper.

Thank you for your patronage.

"The Konoha technicians aren't all that great," Sasuke remarked.

Kakashi: (￣□￣；)

Naruto: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Karin: ($_$)

......

A month has passed quietly.

Uzushio Ninja Village.

Underground laboratory.

Thanks to Bai Yu's care and the help of his high-purity bloodline, Taiyi and Guangzi successfully advanced to the level of first-class sorcerers.

After the two became familiar with the changes in their strength, Bai Yu went to the Land of Demons alone.

[Chapter 250. Epic Enhancement of the Konoha Collapse Plan (Part 243)]

April 20, Konoha Year 60.

Sound Village.

Underground laboratory.

Orochimaru lay in a glass tank filled with nutrient solution.

Several months have passed, and his injuries have fully healed. However, his new body requires an enormous amount of nutrition. He enters the nutrient chamber on time every day, but his body is still like a bottomless pit, thirsting for nutrients.

"Is his mental strength already this strong at the third-level apprentice stage? As expected, the most crucial thing is Isshiki's Otsutsuki chakra."

After Orochimaru absorbed all the nutrient solution in the glass chamber, he sat up and felt the gradual fullness in his body. He felt that the time had come.

After several months of recuperation, Orochimaru not only fully recovered from the mental damage he had suffered, but also broke through several barriers in such a short time, advancing to the third-class apprentice level, and accelerating the absorption of Isshiki's Otsutsuki chakra.

At this moment, Orochimaru could sense that his soul was undergoing a qualitative change, which was slowly affecting his body.

"The whole body, a completely new power."

Orochimaru felt that he had completely surpassed the level of the Five Kage of the present day. This was a completely new realm, and his body was filled with terrifying power with every move he made.

With veins bulging at the corners of his eyes, Orochimaru activated his Byakugan, gaining a glimpse into his own body.

After this period of transformation and the fusion of Isshiki's power, his physical and mental energy have been further enhanced, and his chakra reserves have surged even further.

Although his chakra reserves were not small before, after cell activation training and software modification, his chakra reserves are now among the largest of his peers, but he still has to use them carefully.

However, Orochimaru now feels that he has become a humanoid tailed beast, and even compared to tailed beasts, his chakra reserves are definitely among the top. He may not be able to compete with the Nine-Tails, but he is no less powerful than the Eight-Tails.

The same ninjutsu can have vastly different power depending on the amount of chakra output.

Orochimaru closed his eyes, and his pure white pupils turned bright yellow again. Then, his eyes turned scarlet, and the three-tomoe Sharingan appeared.

The Sharingan and Byakugan, which he had coveted for a long time, were now easily obtained after being fused with the Ichijutsu. Immortality was no longer just a beautiful hope, but was within reach.

After familiarizing himself with his body once more, Orochimaru walked out of the laboratory.

In the narrow, cramped corridor, he encountered Xin walking hurriedly towards him.

"Lord Orochimaru, a reply has arrived from Sunagakure." The letter arrived before Orochimaru, who bowed respectfully.

Because Orochimaru considered Shin one of his own, he did not hide anything from Shin about the plan to take revenge on Konoha.

Orochimaru was very satisfied with his new disciple and smiled slightly, saying, "It seems that Sunagakure is also unwilling to give up such a good opportunity."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru." Shin took out a scroll from his pocket, bowed slightly, and presented the scroll with both hands above his head. Although he had been taken in as Orochimaru's disciple, Shin still treated Orochimaru as his superior as before.

Orochimaru didn't say anything about this, after all, things were different now than they were back then. The only disciples who would act close to him were Nawaki and Anko, while Hakuba could only be considered half a disciple.

"As expected, Luo Sha could not resist such temptation."

Orochimaru opened the scroll to examine it. The information inside was brief, but the seal and signature of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, at the end were enough to prove the importance of this information.

If this scroll is given to Konoha, the relationship between Sunagakure and Konoha will likely deteriorate immediately.

Of course, Orochimaru wouldn't do that. He just wanted to use the power of Sunagakure to make the Third Hokage and Konoha pay the price.
