Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Orochimaru's elbow collided with another person's elbow, and the two powerful forces collided, creating a loud sonic boom in the air.

Orochimaru looked at the man who had quickly retreated after exchanging a blow with him, and said with surprise, "I didn't expect it to be you!"

The newcomer was none other than the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

At this point, Minato Namikaze was many times stronger than before in Orochimaru's eyes, especially in terms of the changes in his chakra, which were quite astonishing.

Orochimaru only sensed an extremely powerful chakra, but he did not expect that the person who came was Minato Namikaze, who had been in a coma for many years. At first, Orochimaru thought that the person who came was Jiraiya who used Sage Mode.

"Orochimaru, you did all this?!" Minato Namikaze stared at the rising smoke from all directions, his eyes filled with rage, his fists clenched tightly.

Orochimaru's hoarse voice held a strange meaning as he chuckled and said, "This is my revenge against Konoha, and also a farewell ceremony for the old man. How about it, Minato? Pretty grand, huh?"

Damn it!

Minato Namikaze's expression darkened, and he raised his hand to take out a specially made trident kunai.

"Fourth generation!"

"The Fourth Hokage has awakened!"

"It's the Fourth Generation Lord!"

"The village is saved!"

"There's hope!"

Minato Namikaze's appearance was like a stabilizing force, becoming the last straw that pulled Konoha back from the brink of disaster.

"Go and support other battlefields, don't stay here!"

Minato Namikaze quickly signaled the surrounding Jonin to leave. Through his brief exchange with Orochimaru, Minato knew that Orochimaru's strength was now vastly different from what it used to be; he was no longer the Orochimaru of yesteryear.

After being unconscious for so long, Minato Namikaze felt his chakra surge dozens of times, and his strength increased dramatically. However, in the brief exchange just now, he not only did not gain any advantage, but was actually at a disadvantage.

Therefore, these Jonin, who could originally be called high-level combatants, are now useless here. They will only distract him and hinder his progress.

"This...is it! The Fourth Hokage!"

The surrounding Jonin hesitated for a moment before immediately leaving, because they knew Orochimaru's strength and that this would be a battle they couldn't possibly join.

Seeing that Orochimaru didn't stop the Jonin from leaving, Minato Namikaze breathed a slight sigh of relief. The next second, he looked up and noticed Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kakashi fighting for their lives in the Four Purple Flames Formation on the roof. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Third Hokage! Kakashi?! How could this be?"

"You should be more concerned about yourself than them... Minato," Orochimaru said slowly.

The First and Second Hokage appeared beside Orochimaru with dark eyes and blank expressions. The terrifying chakra emanating from them was impossible to ignore.

"First Hokage?! Second Hokage?! This is... the Impure World Reincarnation Technique!" Minato Namikaze reacted immediately upon seeing the First and Second Hokage's numb expressions, as if they were puppets. As the Fourth Hokage, he had read the complete Book of Sealing and naturally knew the situation of the First and Second Hokage appearing before him.

Trouble!

Minato Namikaze's expression tightened, and his heart sank.

If he were only facing Orochimaru, whose strength had greatly increased, he could at least hold his own against Orochimaru with his chakra, which was dozens of times stronger, and with the Flying Thunder God Technique, preventing Orochimaru from continuing to destroy Konoha. But with the addition of the First and Second Hokage, two legendary and powerful ninjas, he would probably have to think about how to hold out for a little longer.

After all, the Flying Thunder God Technique he learned was developed by the Second Hokage, so it would be difficult for him to fully utilize his absolute speed advantage.

Moreover, there is the First Hokage, who is hailed as the 'God of Shinobi'.

"Don't overthink it. I didn't do anything to Kakashi. It was all his own will. All he wanted was to avenge Sakumo." Orochimaru said with a contemptuous look when he saw Minato Namikaze still glancing into the barrier. "The Will of Fire is something that even the old man who taught you probably doesn't believe in. Only you would believe in it."

"I won't let you hurt anyone in this village!" Minato Namikaze said resolutely, hurling his specially made kunai at Orochimaru. At the same time, his fingers danced wildly as the kunai flew, creating a dazzling display of skill.

Forming hand seals.

'Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!'

The specially made trident kunai multiplied from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, instantly creating tens of thousands of physical kunai shadow clones that rained down on Orochimaru like a dark cloud covering the sky.

With Minato Namikaze's current chakra reserves, this single move would instantly kill any ninja below the Kage level, and even a Kage-level ninja would not be able to withstand it easily.

Because each kunai was infused with Wind Release chakra by Minato Namikaze, this was a luxurious combat method that Minato Namikaze could not use before.

A large amount of chakra is a greater advantage for top-tier ninjas.

However, Orochimaru stood still in the face of such a terrifying attack.

'Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!'

Splash!

The roof tiles on the arena's high platform were pushed off by the ever-growing, thick tree trunks, falling like rain.

In the blink of an eye, a large forest appeared on the rooftop.

The physical kunai shadow clones mixed with wind release chakra were incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through gold and jade, but against the giant tree born from the First Hokage's chakra, they could only barely pierce the bark and couldn't even cut a single vine.

These trees continued to grow wildly, their thick trunks seemingly alive, flexibly wrapping around and whipping towards Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze wanted to support the Third Hokage, who was trapped in the barrier, so he was unwilling to leave the rooftop area and could only move around on the rooftop to dodge attacks from tree trunks and vines.

Faced with an attack he couldn't avoid, he would use his specially made kunai to forcefully chop down the tree trunk and vines.

"Such powerful defense! It's practically as hard as chakra metal! Is this the First Hokage's Wood Release?!"

Minato Namikaze felt the recoil from the kunai and was shocked. If he stayed here, not only would he be unable to rescue the Third Hokage, but he would also be unable to make use of his speed advantage.

With that thought in mind, Minato Namikaze stopped trying to approach the barrier in the center of the roof and instead retreated backward.

Faced with the tough vines that shot towards him like spears, Minato Namikaze activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, his figure disappearing instantly and reappearing on the outer edge of the roof.

"what?!"

laugh!

A fine, whistling sound rang in Minato Namikaze's ears.

Almost simultaneously, Tobirama Senju appeared behind Minato Namikaze, violently spewing out a rapid, ultra-high-pressure jet of water from his mouth.

'Water Release: Water Severing Wave!'

With a slight turn of his head, Tobirama Senju unleashed a ten-meter-long jet of water from his mouth, instantly severing large sections of tree trunks on the rooftop as if they were made of paper, leaving a smooth, mirror-like cut.

boom!

The water jet, after severing the tree trunk, still possessed considerable force, cutting off part of the eaves. Large shards of rock crashed into the arena, creating a large crater in the ground.

At this moment, Minato Namikaze appeared in the center of the arena.

He touched the small section of his sideburn that had been shaved off, looked at the expressionless Tobirama Senju on the roof, and felt a chill run down his spine: "That was close!"

Even though he had lost his reason due to being manipulated by the Impure World Reincarnation technique and was fighting solely on instinct, the Second Hokage's speed was by no means slower than his. The only advantage he had was that the interval between his two Flying Thunder God Techniques was slightly longer.

"It's troublesome."

Minato Namikaze stared at Orochimaru, who was perched atop the rooftop forest, his mind racing as he tried to devise a countermeasure.

He was already overwhelmed by just the First and Second Hokage, let alone Orochimaru who hadn't even made a move yet.

boom--!

Hashirama and Tobirama didn't give Minato Namikaze much time to think before launching their attacks simultaneously.

Tobirama used the Flying Thunder God Technique to tightly bind Minato Namikaze. Clearly, as the creator of the Flying Thunder God Technique, he was able to quickly memorize the location of the technique left by Minato.

As for Hashirama, he directly enhanced his physical body with a massive amount of chakra, achieving a speed comparable to Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique through pure physical strength.

For a moment, Minato and his brother were locked in a tight grip, with no chance of breaking free.

Orochimaru didn't seem to be in a hurry to join the battle; instead, he quietly observed from the sidelines.

Instead, he focused more on the stands on the opposite side of the arena.

Chiho, Mitsuko, and Taichi are fighting against ninjas from Sunagakure and Otogakure while protecting an unconscious Konoha ninja.

Bai Yu, on the other hand, stood in the audience seats, watching the battle between Minato Namikaze and the Hashirama and Tobirama brothers in the center of the arena, seemingly wanting only to be a spectator.

Clearly, Orochimaru was more wary of Shiraha than of Minato Namikaze.

Although both sides have decided to cooperate, how could Orochimaru possibly fully trust someone who might endanger his life at a critical moment?

After noticing Orochimaru's gaze, Bai Yu smiled slightly at him, then turned to look at Chiho, Mitsuko, and Taichi, who had already dealt with the ninjas in the field, and said loudly, "Chiho, Mitsuko, Taichi, let's go!"

He originally only wanted to be a bystander and use the "Chain of Emotions" to absorb the powerful emotional energy overflowing in the arena. Now that he had absorbed almost all the emotional energy, in order not to steal the spotlight and affect Orochimaru's performance, Bai Yu decided to leave in time.

“Yes, Dad.” Chiho, Mitsuko, and Taichi responded and came to Shiraha’s side at the same time.

Bai Yu channeled his magic and spiritual power, and a pale purple magic circle appeared beneath his feet, which then rapidly expanded, enveloping the four of them.

The next second, accompanied by a spatial fluctuation, the four were teleported away from the arena by a teleportation array.

More than watching the game, Shiraha had other things to do, and now was the perfect opportunity to make the Hyuga branch family independent again.

As for the people of Konoha, well, I'm sorry, they'll just have to fend for themselves.

Back then, he and Kushina risked their lives for Konoha during the Fourth Shinobi World War, but the people there didn't seem to feel much gratitude.

If it weren't for these fools who forced Sakumo to his death, Bai Yu might still have had a lingering attachment to Konoha, and his determination to leave Konoha wouldn't have been so firm.

After appearing at the edge of Konoha, Bai Yu gazed at the location of the arena and muttered to himself, "Orochimaru, you'd better pray for yourself."

He sensed that several powerful streams of chakra were rapidly converging towards the arena.

Fugaku and Itachi only have Kage-level strength, and even if Jiraiya uses Sage Mode, he is only at the peak of Kage level and cannot even touch the level of Super Kage.

As for Nawaki, Orochimaru, out of old friendship, probably won't hurt him.

But Might Guy, who had mastered the Eight Gates, was undoubtedly incredibly powerful.

According to information obtained by Issei from a parallel world, Might Guy almost killed Madara Uchiha with a single kick.

Six Paths Madara can already be considered a level four life form, and his combat power is absolutely no less than that of a level three archmage in the Wizarding World who has reached the crystallization stage.

Because of the various powerful cultivation methods in the "Book of Ancient Sorcerers" and because he is a "Summoning Sorcerer", Bai Yu believes that with his level two liquefaction stage, he can complete almost impossible battles against opponents of higher levels.

However, at most they can only fight against a Grand Wizard at the third level of the Vaporization stage. If they encounter Madara Uchiha or Might Guy, they can survive, but fighting them is out of the question.

Although a Six Paths level fighter possesses a self-healing physique comparable to immortality, so being nearly kicked to death is essentially the same as not dying, Orochimaru is not yet at the Six Paths level, comparable to a level four life form.

Even if Might Guy's Eight Gates are far inferior to Might Guy's Eight Gates, they're still enough to give Orochimaru a run for his money.

Having experienced the treachery and deceit of the wizarding world, Bai Yu would not easily trust the ambitious Orochimaru unless he was a close relative.

Especially now that Orochimaru's strength is almost equal to his, and the two sides also have conflicting interests.

Of course, despite his vigilance, Shiraha did not want Orochimaru to die.

So if necessary, he will make his move at the last minute.
