Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

......

On the other hand, Orochimaru's sudden departure was not because he was going to find Sasuke.

After absorbing Naruto's special chakra, he immediately sensed a special power within it, which led to him being targeted by an extremely powerful creature. Therefore, he decided to temporarily abandon absorbing Naruto and Sasuke's chakra.

Soon, Orochimaru arrived at the central area of ​​the Forest of Death, near the tower.

By a river, he found Shin surrounded by Shion, Taiichi, and Mitsuko, as well as two other ninjas from the Sound Village. However, the two had turned into stone statues and stood motionless in the same spot.

It turned out that Shin had suddenly asked Orochimaru for help, which made Orochimaru leave immediately.

"Master Orochimaru!"

Upon seeing Orochimaru suddenly appear in his true form, Shin showed a surprised expression. However, due to a moment of carelessness, he was directly struck by the petrifying light released by the "Petrifying Eye" cast by Photon, and his entire body turned into a stone statue.

Orochimaru's expression darkened, and his bright yellow vertical pupils narrowed slightly as he looked at Mitsuko.

Photon suddenly felt a tightness all over her body, as if the entire space had become stagnant. The immense pressure made her subconsciously want to activate the demonized item that Bai Yu had left her.

"Mitsuko, don't be impulsive." Shion quickly pressed Mitsuko's hand, signaling her not to act rashly, and then smiled at Orochimaru, "Uncle Orochimaru, it's been a long time."

The scene of her 'running away from home' with Orochimaru back then is still vivid in her mind, so Shion has a natural affinity for Orochimaru.

However, Orochimaru now seemed far more powerful than she had back then, especially now that she had advanced to the level of a first-class sorcerer, making the difference in their strength even more pronounced.

"Shion, it's been a long time." Orochimaru smiled, then glanced at the three stone sculptures beside him and said, "These three are my subordinates. Release them, and this matter will be over."

“Of course, it’s all a misunderstanding.” Shion nodded and said, “We didn’t know they were Orochimaru’s subordinates, otherwise we definitely wouldn’t have attacked them.”

At this moment, Photon behind Shion seemed to be getting restless.

Taiichi, who had already activated "Snake Spirit Sensation," hurriedly signaled to Mitsuko not to act rashly, because the Orochimaru he sensed was far too strong, almost comparable to their parents, Shiraha and Kushina, which was truly terrifying.

"Kuangzi, let them go." Shion turned around and winked at Kuangzi.

Upon seeing this, Photon deactivated the "Petrifying Eyes," and the three members of the Sound Village immediately regained their mobility.

"Lord Orochimaru." Shin quickly came to Orochimaru's side.

Orochimaru nodded to Shin, then looked at Shion and slowly said:

"Ziyuan, come with me too."

[Chapter 258. Chapter 251 The Epic Enhancement of the Konoha Collapse Plan (Part Twelve)]

Upon hearing Orochimaru's words, Tai's expression changed in shock, and his body tensed instantly: "What did you say?"

Photon, his face contorted with rage, exclaimed, "That's absolutely impossible!"

As she spoke, she was about to activate the demonized item that Bai Yu had left for her.

Orochimaru in front of them is extremely powerful. Even if they use the magic sealed in the demonized items, they might not be a match for Orochimaru. However, at this close range, as long as the demonized items they carry are activated, Bai Yu will arrive at the fastest speed. It will only take a little time to delay them.

Shin, standing to the side, was also somewhat puzzled, because before this operation began, Lord Orochimaru had said not to provoke Shiraha.

The three people in front of him were all Bai Yu's children. Although Xin knew that Lord Orochimaru valued him, he also knew that Lord Orochimaru would not go so far as to make a deadly enemy of Bai Yu for his sake.

However, as a disciple and subordinate, Shin fully supports any decision Orochimaru makes and has no objections whatsoever.

Of the people present, Ziyuan reacted the calmest. After a brief silence, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

"Sister Ziyuan? What are you saying?!"

"We don't need to be afraid of him, we still have what Dad left behind..."

Taiichi and Mitsuko both looked at Shion in surprise.

Shion smiled and shook her head at Taichi and Mitsuko beside her, then walked towards Orochimaru.

She had only taken a few steps when Orochimaru spoke up, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"You didn't hurt me back then, so you definitely won't now, right, Uncle?" Shion walked confidently to Orochimaru's side.

Orochimaru was taken aback by Shion's words. He recalled the first time he met this audacious little girl who had run away from home, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Wait for me here, I'll be right back," Shion said, turning to look at Mitsuko and Taichi.

"Sister Ziyuan, but..." Taiyi didn't know what to say.

"Orochimaru, if you dare to hurt Shion, Mom and Dad will not let you get away with it!" Mitsuko said threateningly, then tugged at Tai's sleeve. Now that Shion was willing to leave with Orochimaru, she couldn't stop her. She could only avoid conflict for the time being and then immediately ask her father for help.

As for whether her words would anger Orochimaru, Mitsuko wasn't afraid at all.

If Orochimaru were to make a move, he would have done so from the very beginning. It's clear that he's very wary of their parents and therefore doesn't dare to use force.

"Let's go." Orochimaru ignored Mitsuko and Taichi and headed directly towards the east side of the forest.

The other two Sound Village ninjas, at Orochimaru's signal, headed in another direction to continue participating in the Chunin Selection Exams.

As for Shin, he left with Orochimaru and Shion.

After they left, Taiyi hurriedly asked, "Sister, what should we do now?"

"Notify Dad immediately and let him handle this." Mitsuko said grimly, "Orochimaru was Dad's teacher, and Shion-neechan met him when she was little. He shouldn't harm Shion-neechan..."

"Then I'll inform Dad!" As soon as Taiyi finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the ground. After they advanced to the first level of bloodline sorcerer, they could directly activate their bloodline power and immediately communicate with their father, Bai Yu, who was the source of their bloodline, over a great distance. However, they rarely did this, since no one wanted their parents to be watching them all the time. But the situation was special now, and they had to ask for help.

......

Orochimaru traveled leisurely eastward through the Forest of Death, seemingly in no hurry to leave.

Shin behind him looked tense, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. He didn't quite understand what Orochimaru's intentions were, but he didn't want to ask directly, so he was really holding it in.

On the contrary, Shion seemed to be on a picnic with Orochimaru, not at all like someone who was coerced into accompanying him.

After walking for a while, Orochimaru suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Shin and Shion also stopped.

Orochimaru turned around, a smile on his face: "You've arrived, but this isn't a good place to meet. Come with me."

As he spoke, Orochimaru grabbed Shin and Shion by the shoulders, and the three of them instantly disappeared into the ground, traveling rapidly underground.

A few minutes later, when Orochimaru brought Shin and Shion out, they had arrived at the foot of a small hill. Orochimaru quickly formed hand seals and then slapped the ground. The grass in front of him trembled, and then the ground sank, revealing a hole with a diameter of more than three meters.

Ziyuan peered into the deep cave entrance and saw a series of steps leading down into the darkness, the destination unknown.

As Orochimaru walked, he explained to Shion, "This is a base I set up outside Konoha. I didn't expect that after so many years, it still hasn't been destroyed."

As he spoke, Orochimaru stepped down. The barrier inside had been destroyed, but the base still existed. It seemed the old man was quite sentimental. This caused a slight fluctuation in Orochimaru's emotions, but he quickly calmed down.

Shion and Shin followed Orochimaru to the end of the steps, where they found themselves in a deep, dark corridor that seemed to stretch endlessly. Lamplight hung on the walls on either side, emitting a faint glow.

The three walked to the room at the end of the corridor. The door was covered with cobwebs. When they pushed the door open, the room was filled with the smell of decay.

Orochimaru looked at the dusty lab benches and some basic experimental equipment that he hadn't had time to take with him, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, he has been gone for more than a decade, having fulfilled his dream of achieving immortality. But the old man, the Third Generation, is nearing the end of his life.

"Uncle, you're waiting for my dad, right?" Shion's gentle voice interrupted Orochimaru's recollection.

"Why would you think that?" Orochimaru turned around.

Ziyuan nodded and said, "You want to meet my father, but you don't want to go to him first. Instead, you want him to come to you. What an awkward mentality, just like back then."

After fully inheriting her mother Miroku's priestess powers, in addition to gaining control over otherworldly monsters, her original ability to foresee death became even stronger, allowing her to see more of the future.

When Shion encountered Orochimaru, she did not sense any malice from him, nor did she see herself injured or killed, so she was certain that Orochimaru would not harm her.

Then, recalling Orochimaru's awkward personality back then, one can tell that he must have something he wanted to see their father about, but he didn't want to go directly to him, so he used this roundabout method.

"How dare you speak to Lord Orochimaru like that?!" Shin shouted angrily from the side. He was afraid that Shion would anger Orochimaru, and even more afraid that Orochimaru would harm Shion, thus making an enemy of Shiraha.

Orochimaru's expression stiffened at Shion's words. He then waved his hand at Shin, looked at Shion blankly, and said, "All I want is your bloodline power."

Upon hearing this, Ziyuan stretched out her right arm, rolled up the sleeve, and revealed her fair arm.

"..." Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness, and then he suddenly came to Shion's side.

Orochimaru raised his hand, and a ball of chakra with a faint blue glow appeared in his palm. The amount of chakra was small, but its purity was beyond Shion's imagination.

Shion looked puzzled, but before she could speak, Orochimaru flipped his wrist and slapped the ball of chakra in his palm into Shion's hand.

"This is..." Ziyuan suddenly felt a warm current flowing through her body, as if every cell had become more active because of the power of this chakra.

Orochimaru did not answer Shion's question, but instead stared solemnly at the entrance of the laboratory.

Bai Yu's figure flashed several times and appeared beside Zi Yuan.

“Dad.” Ziyuan was taken aback.

Bai Yu sensed a peculiar chakra aura, then grabbed Shion's wrist, sensing the special chakra entering her body.

"This chakra..."

"It's been a long time, Bai Yu." Orochimaru said calmly, "This is the chakra I stole from Naruto. I didn't expect that Naruto also had the power of someone from outer space. Don't worry, I have removed the soul consciousness from the chakra. Shion obtained pure chakra. Consider this my compensation for taking her away."

"An apology? You're really generous, just giving away Otsutsuki chakra like that!" Bai Yu's face darkened slightly. After receiving Taiyi's message, he immediately confirmed the location through his bloodline connection with Shion.

"So you really know about the Otsutsuki!" Orochimaru had an expression that said he already knew. The reason he gave away the Otsutsuki chakra he obtained from Naruto was because he was being targeted by an unknown powerful creature, so he wanted to drag Shiraha down with him.

Of course, regardless of the circumstances, Orochimaru removed the soul consciousness from this chakra. The amount of this extremely pure chakra was too small to have much effect on him, but it was of great benefit to Shion.

Bai Yu would find it hard to refuse this gift and apology.

"You don't think this is all over, do you?!" Bai Yu narrowed his eyes, and a terrifying aura rose from his body, the immense soul pressure directly enveloping Orochimaru in front of him.

Orochimaru's expression changed, and his bright yellow vertical pupils suddenly contracted. Using the power of a sorcerer to fight against Bai Yu, he felt like a newborn snake, while Bai Yu standing in front of him was a colossal python. He was as insignificant as dust. This was a bloodline suppression from the soul level.

Therefore, Orochimaru immediately mobilized the Otsutsuki chakra within his body to counter Bai Yu's momentum.

At this moment, Shion and Shin felt nothing, because Shiro had reached a new level of control over power. But when Orochimaru used Otsutsuki chakra, Shion and Shin finally sensed a terrifying chakra aura.

"Dad, I'm not in danger. Orochimaru means no harm." Shion quickly stepped forward to reassure him. She could sense Orochimaru's power. Although she had more confidence in Shiraha, it was clear that there was no need for the two sides to fight.

Bai Yu's expression relaxed, and the surging magic and spiritual power around him receded into his body.

At the same time, Orochimaru felt that the terrifying soul pressure vanish without a trace, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you already surpassed the first level?" Orochimaru couldn't help but ask, his eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.

"I'm just one step away from the final stage of level two," Bai Yu answered truthfully, then took out a scroll from his pocket and tossed it to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru took the scroll and began to examine it. Soon, his expression became quite interesting.
