Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

The scroll contains a record of a mysterious and powerful world: the wizarding world.

This was the textbook that Bai Yu used to educate Shion, Mitsuko, and Taiichi. It contained some basic information about the wizarding world, but for Orochimaru, it was like opening the door to a new world.

Orochimaru realized for the first time that the universe was far more vast than he had imagined, and that in addition to interstellar races like the Otsutsuki clan, there were also powerful civilizations like the Wizard Civilization that spanned the multiverse.

After level two comes level three, and after level three come star level, moon level, and sun level.

Even if he lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years, he might not be able to explore even one percent of the unknown mysteries of the universe.

"The wizard civilization has become so powerful. No wonder you have surpassed all ninjas, including your predecessors, in such a short time."

Orochimaru withdrew his gaze from the scroll, staring at Bai Yu, his inner shock lingering for a long time.

I thought the Otsutsuki clan was strong enough, but now it seems they are nothing compared to the wizards.

Powerful wizards could even place gods on their experimental tables, which suited Orochimaru's tastes perfectly.

"Didn't you also absorb a form, which caused a qualitative change in your soul, thus severing your bloodline connection with me and becoming independent from my bloodline?"

Bai Yu said calmly.

Orochimaru's chakra has undergone a fundamental change compared to before, and most importantly, he is able to withstand the pressure under his powerful soul force.

Otherwise, given Orochimaru's soul weakness left by the forbidden Reanimation Jutsu, even if he obtained the power of the Six Paths, his soul weakness would still be exploited by Hakuba.

From the perspective of life level alone, Orochimaru can already be considered a level three life form.

However, being a level three life form does not necessarily mean having the combat power of a level three wizard (sorcerer).

Even if Orochimaru erased the soul consciousness in his bloodline and made this bloodline independent, it is still a snake bloodline. However, Bai Yu's bloodline source and sorcerer level are much higher than Orochimaru's. This kind of restraint is not something that Orochimaru can ignore now.

That's why Bai Yu gave Orochimaru a warning first.

"I don't want something like today to happen again," Bai Yu said, changing the subject.

“Of course.” Orochimaru smiled. “I’m just looking for a collaboration with you; I don’t want to make an enemy of you.”

Bai Yu's heart skipped a beat; he already knew what was going on, but he still asked, "What kind of cooperation?"

"Let's work together to deal with the Otsutsuki clan, who may come here in the future, and also Otsutsuki Kaguya," Orochimaru said solemnly.

Bai Yu countered, "Then what can I get?"

“I can share all the technology and resources I have acquired with you. Don’t you want to know how I managed to eliminate the soul consciousness in my bloodline?”

With your intelligence, given the right inspiration, you could absolutely surpass me and far exceed my current level.

What I pursue is a long life, to explore the unknown, and to seek eternal truth.

We didn't have any fundamental conflict before.

Orochimaru continued.

Bai Yu fell into a brief silence, then nodded and said, "Deal."

Orochimaru smiled happily and then extended his fist toward Shiraha.

[Chapter 259. Chapter 252 The Epic Enhancement of the Konoha Collapse Plan (Thirteen)]

Orochimaru and Shiraha's chakra merged together.

Unlike last time, Orochimaru's chakra has undergone a qualitative change. He has acquired a completely new and powerful physical body, and his soul is many times stronger than it was in its prime.

From the perspective of chakra alone, Orochimaru felt that his chakra had transformed from a stream into a surging river, while Shiraha was like a bottomless, calm pool.

Orochimaru's chakra was no less than Shiraha's, but in terms of magic power and mental strength, Orochimaru still felt suppressed by Shiraha.

In particular, after Orochimaru absorbed the style, he also practiced the "Companion Python Meditation Method," which made his soul more solid and his mental power greatly increased. However, compared with Bai Yu, he found that Bai Yu's mental power was almost tangible and even stronger than his own.

It should be noted that what he devoured was Isshiki Otsutsuki, a powerful and extraordinary being whose life level far surpassed that of humans. Although Isshiki was severely injured and his chakra and soul had not recovered even a tenth of their original levels, he had already lived for thousands of years.

Bai Yu's twenty-odd years of training were enough to match the accumulation of Otsutsuki Isshiki over so many years. It seems that the power of bloodline sorcerers is even greater than he expected.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's heart burned even hotter.

However, their exchange and probing were only fleeting, ending as soon as they touched the mark.

Subsequently, Orochimaru used chakra to pass on the Otsutsuki secret technique he had obtained from Isshiki's memories to Shiraha.

This includes the specific usage of the 'wedge' and precautions.

In addition, there is relevant data on experiments using cells with positive ion receptors.

Finally, there's the bloodline research that Bai Yu is particularly interested in: methods to obliterate the soul's consciousness.

"This arm was cloned using cells from a letter. With the technology you have, you can clone a completely new clone."

Orochimaru took out a storage scroll and handed it to Shiraha.

Bai Yu took the scroll. During the chakra combination, he kept his mind closed the whole time, so Orochimaru did not get any information or useful data from him. In fact, Orochimaru carried out everything he said.

It wasn't that Orochimaru was generous; rather, he wanted more.

Bai Yu naturally knew what Orochimaru wanted, so he took out two storage scrolls and threw them at Orochimaru: "This is an enhanced magic array for advancing to the next level of bloodline sorcerer, and also my blood."

Orochimaru took the scroll and examined it carefully. When he looked up, he was met with Bai Yu's confident expression.

Orochimaru gave Bai Yu a deep look, put the scroll away, and changed the subject, saying, "If I also want some of the Nine-Tails' chakra..."

"There's nothing else on you that interests me right now, and if you want the Nine-Tails' chakra, Naruto has plenty... Isn't that enough for you?"

Bai Yu said calmly.

"I'll soon have something that will excite you," Orochimaru said with a smile, then extended his hand to Shiraha: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Bai Yu glanced at it, then reached out and shook hands with Orochimaru.

He then turned and left, saying, "I'm leaving, Shion."

"Yes, Dad." Shion nodded to Orochimaru and quickly walked out of the laboratory.

The father and daughter walked through the dark and cramped corridor and emerged from the underground stronghold.

Bai Yu remained silent throughout, walking slowly and steadily through the dense forest, heading towards Konoha.

"Dad, are you angry?" Halfway there, Ziyuan finally couldn't help but ask first.

Bai Yu stopped and met Zi Yuan's gaze, asking in return, "Zi Yuan, are you blaming me?"

“Dad…” Ziyuan’s face tightened, her expression showing unease and surprise.

“Aside from the last time you ran away from home, you’ve been very sensible and well-behaved all these years, to the point that I’ve neglected you a bit. You are my child, and I treat you the same as I treat Mitsuko and Taiichi; you are all my family. So I don’t want any of you to be in danger, and I don’t want something like this to happen again.”

Bai Yu said solemnly.

After meeting him, he discovered that Orochimaru was even stronger than he had expected.

However, he left behind demonic items that sealed level-two spells on Shion, Mitsuko, and Taiichi, one for offense and one for defense, especially the offensive soul spells, which were extremely powerful.

With Orochimaru's current strength, it's certain he can withstand this soul magic, but it's definitely not something he can do lightly.

Therefore, if Shion, Mitsuko, and Taichi were to resist, Orochimaru, even if he dared to use force, would definitely be able to hold out until Shiraha arrived.

However, Shion chose to follow Orochimaru and take the risk herself.

"Dad, I didn't... I just saw no danger in the future fragments, so I chose to leave with Orochimaru. Orochimaru didn't hurt me before, and he won't now either..."

Shion tried to explain.

Bai Yu interrupted her, saying, "The future is not static. Never risk your life when there is a more prudent option. The Orochimaru of today is completely different from the Orochimaru of the past; his strength has reached a level that can threaten me."

Your bloodline is a huge treasure trove to him. If it weren't for his fear of me, do you really think he could resist the temptation to become a first-level bloodline sorcerer?

"After your own advancement, you know just how immense the spiritual elevation is, right?"

Ziyuan lowered her head: "I just wanted to..."

Bai Yu stepped forward, gently patted Zi Yuan's head, and then hugged her: "It's my oversight as a father. You've been so sensible all these years that I've treated you like an adult. Your mother and I only have a business relationship and no feelings for each other, but you will always be my daughter."

Shion: "I'm sorry, Dad."

Bai Yu patted Zi Yuan's back, gently comforting her, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

After confirming that Orochimaru had indeed obtained the power of Isshiki, Shiraha was even more willing to share his blood and wizarding knowledge with him.

Orochimaru is indeed a rare genius. If he had been born during the heyday of wizarding civilization, he might have achieved great things.

However, the wizarding world is never short of geniuses.

If Orochimaru were to follow the path of a sorcerer, Hakuba really wouldn't have any way to deal with him.

But now that he has chosen the path of a bloodline sorcerer, it will be much easier for Bai Yu to control him.

According to information Orochimaru shared through chakra memories, his technique for erasing the soul consciousness within bloodlines was not complicated.

If Bai Yu's speculation is correct, Orochimaru used his bloodline power to enhance his soul power, which enabled him to successfully kill the heavily injured Ichishiki.

If Orochimaru only pursues the path of chakra, he might eventually become the antithesis of Hakuba.

After all, if the Otsutsuki clan wanted to achieve true immortality, they would have to constantly consume chakra pills.

To become stronger, one needs to consume a complete Chakra Fruit and fully activate the power of the Otsutsuki clan derived from the God Tree.

Given Orochimaru's personality, he certainly won't stop exploring.

Therefore, the first step is to collect the tailed beasts and then replant the divine tree.

Among the nine tailed beasts, the one with the largest chakra reserves, which is equivalent to a smaller version of the Ten-Tails, is the complete Nine-Tails.

If Orochimaru could obtain the power of the Nine-Tails, he could truly ascend to the heavens in one step and become a powerful life form approaching level four, a complete Otsutsuki.

Such temptation is something that most people cannot resist.

Orochimaru doesn't seem to have such intentions at the moment.

Having absorbed Isshiki, Orochimaru is no longer the same person he once was; his chakra is unfathomable. Unless absolutely necessary, Bai Yu does not want to fight him to the death.

Furthermore, Orochimaru is now unable to withstand the amplification of his soul power by meditation, so he is also pursuing the path of a bloodline sorcerer.

Bai Yu dared to juggle both, even practicing "secret martial arts," because he possessed the "Book of Ancient Sorcerers," a treasure from the Ancient Ancient civilization that Orochimaru did not have.

The path of cultivating bloodline magic will enhance Orochimaru's soul and increase his combat power, but it will definitely affect the speed at which his life level improves.

The process of materializing spiritual power alone has taken Bai Yu so many years.
