Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

At that moment, Gaara suddenly unleashed his chakra, crushing the stones beneath the arena into sand and continuously increasing the amount of sand he controlled. As Taiichi landed, he surrounded Taiichi with a massive cloud of sand.

"Oh no!" Rasa's expression changed slightly when he noticed Gaara was about to unleash a technique, but he noticed that Shiraha's expression remained perfectly calm.

'Sandstorm is a funeral!'

Gaara clenched his right hand, abruptly tightening the sand that had trapped Taiichi.

boom!

The sand, which had shrunk to half its original volume, suddenly burst open.

A figure enveloped in crimson energy burst forth from the top of the sand, leaping into the air. His body was covered with tiny, silvery-white scales the size of fingernails, which shimmered in the sunlight.

Because he was caught off guard and trapped, Taiyi immediately activated "Crimson Dragon Calamity" and "Demonized Scales".

Compared to Bai Yu's struggle to gather materials to cultivate the "Crimson Dragon Tribulation," Taiyi's conditions were much better; he basically used the best medicinal herbs and potions for cultivation.

At this moment, Taiyi almost perfectly replicated Baiyu's fighting style from back then.

boom!

Taiichi suddenly unleashed his chakra and breathing technique, and in a flash, he appeared directly in front of Gaara. Before the sand barrier could take shape, he punched Gaara in the chest.

puff!

Gaara's sand armor was shattered by Taichi, causing him to spit out blood and fly backward, crashing heavily into the arena wall.

The next second, all the sand flying everywhere returned to Gaara's side, wrapping him up like a cocoon.

“This is blood…” Gaara, inside the sand cocoon, suddenly covered his head.

Taiyi suddenly sprang up and charged forward, preparing to continue the attack.

Suddenly, a huge arm emerged from the sand cocoon, met Taiyi head-on, and sent him flying.

Taiyi was knocked back dozens of meters, but landed steadily.

However, the next second, a roar like that of a wild beast came from inside the sand cocoon.

boom--!

The sand cocoon suddenly burst open, revealing a giant raccoon dog.

"I'm finally out!"

Shukaku let out a joyful cheer, and the next second it unleashed a 'Practice Air Bullet' directly at the audience in the stands!

"A tailed beast!"

The entire arena instantly descended into chaos.

A red signal flare suddenly rose into the sky, followed by huge explosions that came from all four directions of Konoha.

......

Konoha Hospital.

In the special care ward on the third floor.

As was her habit, Ruko used a towel to wipe Minato Namikaze's body.

She had just finished wiping Minato's face and was about to gently wipe his arms when she noticed the muscles in his forearm twitch slightly.

Ru Ming looked down and saw Minato Namikaze's fingers moving.

"Quick...come quickly!" Xuanwo Luming was so excited that she couldn't even utter the first word.

"What's wrong?!" The ANBU ninja outside the door quickly pushed open the door to the ward and rushed in.

"The Fourth Hokage has woken up. Quickly, go and call the medical ninja."

When the ANBU ninja saw Minato Namikaze's fingers twitch slightly and his eyelids begin to open slightly, they were both surprised and delighted. They quickly notified their companions to call for a medical ninja.

"Alright!" Another ANBU ninja used the Body Flicker Technique to leave the ward. The Fourth Hokage has woken up, and the situation in Konoha will change dramatically. Things will get better soon!

"Where...where am I?" Minato Namikaze's consciousness was still a little hazy. He felt like he had slept for a long time and then had a dream. In the dream, he recovered from his injuries and fused with the cells of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, which greatly enhanced his strength.

Suppressing her excitement, Uzumaki Ryūmei grabbed Namikaze Minato's hand, leaned closer, and whispered, "Minato! Minato! How are you feeling?"

“Lu Ming…” Minato Namikaze turned his head slightly, looking at his wife beside him. His eyes were somewhat dazed, because he felt that his once beautiful and gentle wife seemed to have matured a lot, and wrinkles had even appeared at the corners of her eyes.

"Minato! You're finally awake! Am I dreaming?" Uzumaki Lu Ming said in disbelief. She hugged Minato's neck tightly, but only gently, afraid of hurting his newly recovered body.

"Lu Ming, how long have I been asleep? How come my hands are..." Minato Namikaze asked subconsciously. He raised his hand and gently patted his wife's back, only then vaguely remembering that when he fought against Kinkaku and Ginkaku, both of his arms seemed to have been broken.

"It was Lady Tsunade and Lord Shiraha of the Land of Whirlpools who transplanted your arm. It is now Konoha Year 60, and you have been in a coma for almost 12 years!"

"I'm excited," said Lu Ming from the vortex.

"What?! 12 years?!" Minato Namikaze's eyes widened in disbelief. "Then what about our child?!"

"Naruto and Karin are both 12 years old now. The Third Hokage has taken good care of them. Naruto is currently participating in the Chunin Exams, a joint event between our village and Sunagakure. This child..."

As Ru Ming explained, before she could finish speaking, a loud booming sound came from above Konoha, and a red signal flare rose into the sky and exploded.

"What was that sound?" Minato Namikaze was taken aback.

Xuanwo Luming walked to the window beside the hospital bed, opened it and glanced inside, then turned back and said, "That should be the salute to start the third exam, right?"

However, no sooner had she finished speaking than a deafening explosion resounded simultaneously from all four directions of the village, accompanied by towering flames and thick smoke rising from all sides, making the entire earth seem to tremble.

“This is…” Xuanwo Luming’s eyes widened.

At this moment, the ANBU ninja who had been quietly waiting to avoid disturbing Minato Namikaze and Ayame Uzumaki's conversation also came to the window, looking incredulous: "Damn it! That direction is the circular arena!"

As he spoke, he quickly turned to Uzumaki Shiki and Namikaze Minato and said, "Fourth Hokage, I have to go over there to help right away! The Flying Eagle will be back immediately."

As soon as the ANBU ninja finished speaking, he stepped onto the windowsill and jumped from the third floor, landing on the roof of the building opposite. He then ran across the rooftops of various buildings, quickly heading towards the circular arena. At the same time, ninjas from other directions rushed to provide support in various parts of the village.

Minato Namikaze sat up abruptly from the hospital bed, ripped the IV from the back of his hand, and went to the window to look outside.

"The village has been attacked!"

Minato Namikaze looked solemnly at the explosions coming from all four directions, then turned to his wife, who looked much older, and said, "Lu Ming, I have to go to the battle. You go to the shelter with the Anbu first."

“Minato! You’ve only just woken up, and your body hasn’t recovered yet. The Third Hokage and Jiraiya are there. Even without your help, it won’t be…” Uzumaki Ryūmei grabbed Minato’s arm. He had said the same thing last time, which resulted in him being seriously injured and in a coma for 12 years.

"I'm sorry, but I'm the Fourth Hokage of the village, and Naruto is still there. I have to go!" Minato Namikaze said firmly. "I feel better than ever before! Trust me."

“I know I can’t stop you… Go ahead.” Ru Ming slowly released her grip.

Minato Namikaze felt a surge of warmth in his heart and grabbed Uzumaki Shiki's shoulder, promising, "Thank you, Shiki."

Ru Ming nodded: "The Flying Thunder God Kunai you gave me is in our bedroom, and I've packed all your clothes. Be careful and come back soon."

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze glanced down at his bare upper body and the hospital gown he was wearing, and immediately understood.

He activated the chakra within his body, and a powerful surge of chakra erupted from his body, sending gusts of wind through and even forcing Uzumaki Lu Ming back several steps.

"My chakra..." Minato Namikaze looked at his hands in surprise. Although he felt that his chakra had increased a lot, he realized that it had increased dozens of times when he actually activated it!

Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze sensed his Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Immediately afterwards, in less than a minute, Minato Namikaze, fully dressed and wearing the Hokage's robe, returned to the ward and left the Flying Thunder God Technique seal on Uzumaki Ryūmei.

"Fourth Hokage!" At this moment, an Anbu ninja arrived at the ward with a medical Jonin.

"You escort Lu Ming to the shelter, and you come with me to provide support."

Minato Namikaze didn't have time to say much. He handed Uzumaki Ayame to the medical Jonin, grabbed the shoulder of the Anbu ninja, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to the nearest jutsu retention point to the circular arena.

[262. Happy Children's Day everyone!]

Happy Children's Day everyone!

As a 17-year-old underage author, it shouldn't be too much for me to ask for a day off today, right?

I've been feeling dizzy lately, especially in the mornings and afternoons. It's been going on for almost ten days now, and it's really unpleasant.

This book is nearing its end; once this part of the story concludes, the countdown begins.

Some readers suggested that I only write about Naruto, while others suggested that I continue to write about other story arcs.

My own idea is to write some additional information.

Of course, it shouldn't be long; it will all be released as free chapters. Just treat it as a side story.

Even if the writing goes wrong, it won't affect the overall evaluation of the Naruto storyline in my book.

I've already written the beginnings for three different themes for the new book, but I definitely won't be releasing them anytime soon, and I'm not sure if they'll be used later.

To be honest, having written three excellent Naruto books—"Exploding Equipment," "Dream Projection," and this one, "The Sorcerer"—I feel the biggest problem is the lack of story depth; I simply don't have the ability to write long novels.

Moreover, the three books were read almost without any rest, and the lack of proper rest resulted in no significant improvement in grades.

The only way to improve in this area is to read books and recharge your knowledge.

After finishing this book, I plan to take a break for a month or two to fully adjust my sleep schedule and recover, since I'm only 17 years old.

As for updates, I've been really lagging behind. Instead of releasing a lot of new chapters, I'd rather spend these two months getting the manuscript approved, save up 100,000 words, and then publish the book.

I, the Three-Watch Beast, will definitely come back and continue to evolve!

[263. Chapter 255 The Great Battle (Part 2)]

'Tudun·Tu Liubi! '

'Wind Release: Wind Tornado!'

'Water Escape·Water Formation Wall! '

Gaara was injured and lost control, transforming into a tailed beast and attacking the audience. At the same time, several Konoha Jonin attacked simultaneously, blocking the "Air Bullet" used by Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast.

Tailed beasts are tailed beasts after all. Even the One-Tailed Beast, which has the least amount of chakra, is incredibly powerful even without using the Tailed Beast Ball and only employing Wind Release ninjutsu. It would take multiple Jonin working together to stop it.
