Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Soon, the crack expanded rapidly and spread like a spider web.

With a snap, the white dagger broke.

Kakashi spread his hands, looking at the hilt of the broken sword in his hand.

Although the White Fang was invincible in his father's hands, striking fear into the hearts of ninjas from all the villages in the ninja world, and continued to exert its original power in his hands, it was ultimately not a divine weapon. The reason it was able to fight against the Monkey King's transformed Vajra Staff for so long was because Kakashi did not confront it head-on.

When Sakumo proved his loyalty with his death, Kakashi, after being advised by Hakuba, thought that one day he would use this White Fang short sword to sever the cause and effect and cut through the darkness of Konoha.

Now that Hiruzen Sarutobi is dead, and the White Fang short sword is broken, it can be considered a successful retirement.

In this battle, Kakashi used Lightning Release, Hatake-ryu swordsmanship, breathing techniques, and the Mangekyou Sharingan to their fullest extent in order to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, Kakashi did not expect that Hiruzen Sarutobi would stop at the last moment.

They were supposed to die together.

Pfft!

Without the support of the White Fang Dagger, Kakashi, already exhausted, finally collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Om~!

The four purple flame arrays surrounding the roof of the arena trembled slightly, bursting like bubbles.

Seeing that the battle between Kakashi and Hiruzen Sarutobi had ended, the Sound Four finally gave up.

Might Guy's Eight Gates Formation was too powerful; even the Four Purple Flame Formation, affected by the aftershocks of the battle, was already struggling to withstand it.

The four looked up at the blood-red sky, somewhat worried about Orochimaru, but still followed Orochimaru's previous orders and immediately left the rooftop.

As for Kakashi, he was left all alone in the same place.

"Kill Kakashi!"

The ANBU ninjas swarmed forward.

As for the other Konoha Jonin who arrived, some of them did not step forward. After all, it was just an unconscious Kakashi, and many of them had connections with Sakumo. Even if Kakashi chose to betray Konoha, at least at this moment, they would not go up and kill Kakashi with their own hands.

Just as everyone was about to rush up and kill Kakashi, a vortex-like pattern suddenly appeared in the space around Kakashi.

The next second, a ninja dressed in a black robe and wearing a swirling mask appeared in front of Kakashi, blocking everyone's way.

Obito glanced at Kakashi, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and frowned slightly.

"This is the second time, Kakashi."

The mysterious figures who suddenly appeared paused the ANBU ninjas in their movements, but this did not stop them from launching an attack, hurling a large number of ninja tools at the group.

Obito's eyes turned cold beneath his mask, and his Mangekyou Sharingan activated.

'Fire Release: Explosive Wind Dance!'

The Mangekyou Sharingan combined with Fire Release ninjutsu.

Obito unleashed Kamui using his Mangekyou Sharingan, continuously creating a vortex-like, distorted space in front of him, with a powerful whirlwind sweeping across the entire roof of the arena.

At this moment, terrifying fire-style chakra spewed from his mouth, and a huge vortex-like whirlwind, amplified by the flames, formed a giant fire serpent that rapidly swept outwards.

The ninja tools released by the Anbu members were enveloped by the giant fire serpent carried by the whirlwind, and attacked the Anbu ninjas instead.

"what!"

Some of the ANBU ninjas were unable to dodge in time and were struck by this attack, perishing in the flames.

After Obito landed a successful blow, he did not intensify his attack. Instead, he activated Kamui, sucking Kakashi into the Kamui dimension, which was safe, secluded, and extremely empty. Apart from the many strange things Kakashi had thrown into it using Kamui over the years, there was nothing else there.

The next second, Obito used Kamui to teleport.

Because Bai Yu's figure appeared in his line of sight.

Although he wanted to surrender, for Obito at this moment, taking Kakashi away was the key; the battle was not over yet.

During the spatial teleportation, Obito glanced at the sky above. 'Might Guy, Orochimaru... I didn't expect them to be hiding such power. Even if Madara were still alive, I'm afraid...'

boom--!

The clouds directly above the arena were shattered by a red-glowing fist shadow, revealing the scene above the clouds.

A colossal eight-headed serpent, as large as a mountain, appeared. Its massive heads were repeatedly shattered by Might Guy's fists, only to regenerate.

At this moment, Might Guy's aura had greatly diminished, and the red aura around his body was also very weak, clinging tightly to his skin. He no longer possessed the terrifying amount of chakra he had when he first opened the Eight Gates Formation.

However, on the other hand, Orochimaru's chakra was also almost completely depleted.

Orochimaru's body has undergone soft body modification, making him nearly immortal. However, if Might Guy were to open the Eight Gates and strike his body head-on, his body would likely be blasted into dust.

He wouldn't be able to handle that either.

Therefore, they have been using software modifications to stubbornly resist the fatal flaws that they could not avoid.

Orochimaru never imagined that after absorbing Isshiki Otsutsuki and gaining a huge boost to his life level, he would be almost driven to the brink of despair by a Konoha Jonin who only knew taijutsu.

Even when facing Minato Namikaze, who was using Sage Mode, he wasn't completely serious.

But when facing Matt Damon, he dared not relax in the slightest, because he might really die.

With the blessing of the Death Gate, Might Guy's power seemed to be able to distort space. The key was that his speed was so fast that even Orochimaru had a hard time reacting to it. He could only fight back against many attacks head-on or use the Orochi Style Clone Technique to withstand them.

Orochimaru left the Heavenly Curse Mark on the others. If he were killed by Might Guy now, he could be resurrected from the curse marks of the others. However, that would require the other subordinates to actively release the power of the curse marks. Orochimaru was absolutely unwilling to entrust his life and fortune to others.

Moreover, he spent several years cultivating this body, and most importantly, it has completely merged with the chakra of Isshiki Otsutsuki that he had absorbed. Losing this body would be equivalent to dying half of him.

After repeatedly using the Orochi Style Substitution Technique, Orochimaru himself was also starting to feel the strain. So he used his final move, the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique, transforming into the Eight-Headed Serpent. His physique and strength were enhanced once again, allowing him to fight Might Guy, who was already at his limit. He needed to conserve some chakra just in case.

"Ha!"

Might Guy let out a loud shout, his face contorted in pain, and finally attacked Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was alarmed when he saw this. Might Guy's final attack was about to begin. He immediately controlled all eight snake heads to attack Might Guy simultaneously, trying to use his regenerative abilities to exhaust the power of Might Guy's final blow.

"not good!"

Minato Namikaze's expression changed drastically. Might Guy's body fell from mid-air halfway through the flight, and the red aura on his body disappeared instantly. His skin turned completely black, as if it had been scorched by high temperatures.

Under Minato Namikaze's powerful chakra perception in Sage Mode, he discovered that Might Guy's chakra was like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

"Hmm?" Orochimaru, who was floating in the air, changed his expression. Might Guy couldn't even finish his last attack before he couldn't hold on any longer. He was the ultimate victor. He immediately lunged forward, intending to kill Might Guy completely. The Eight Gates Formation was too much of a threat to him, and he had to leave no loose ends.

Swish!

Minato Namikaze flashed to Might Guy's side, gently embraced him, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away again.

At this moment, Might Guy's Eight Gates Formation had ended. Without that terrifying power that almost distorted space, Minato Namikaze was able to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to get close. Otherwise, he would have joined the battle earlier.

Orochimaru's attack missed, and he was able to dispel the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique.

His body returned to its original state, but his breathing was still very weak.

Orochimaru's eyes flickered as he gazed at the vast ruins surrounding the arena, and he said coldly:

"Consider yourselves lucky!"

As he spoke, Orochimaru glanced deeply at the already deceased Third Hokage, and sensing the rapidly approaching White Feather, he began to consider retreating.

Even at his peak, he wouldn't dare say he could defeat Bai Yu.

Not to mention that he can't even unleash one-tenth of his strength right now, so he doesn't dare to face Bai Yu in full condition.

Although the plan to destroy Konoha was not completely successful this time, the fact that the Third Hokage was killed means it cannot be considered a failure.

With that thought in mind, Orochimaru quickly flew towards the top of the clouds, away from Konoha.

At this moment, Hashirama, under Orochimaru's control, used Wood Release ninjutsu to force back Nawaki, Fugaku, and Itachi who were attacking him. He was then retrieved by a coffin amidst a cluster of giant trees and buried underground.

Minato Namikaze was unwilling, but he could only watch Orochimaru leave. Given Orochimaru's flying speed, even with his Flying Thunder God Slash technique, he was not confident he could stop Orochimaru and could only let him go.

Moreover... seeing Might Dai barely breathing, Minato Namikaze quickly looked at Fukasaku, who was perched on his shoulder, and asked, "Lord Fukasaku, do you have a way to save Dai?"

"Please save my father!" Might Guy stood before Might Dai in a daze. His best friend Kakashi had killed the Third Hokage, and his father was about to leave him because of the Eight Gates Formation. He could no longer be optimistic and burst into tears.

He sighed deeply and shook his head: "It's too late. His life force is almost exhausted, his heart is about to collapse, and he won't survive."

"Not always."

No sooner had Fukasaku finished speaking than Shiraha arrived.

"Bai Yu?! Do you have a way to save Dai?"

Minato Namikaze quickly replied.

Bai Yu arrived in front of Might Guy, sending pure Yang Release chakra into his head with one hand, and taking out a glass syringe with the other, injecting the scarlet blood inside into Might Guy's heart.

Thump thump...

Thump thump...

Matt Day's body regained a glimmer of life in a very short time. His heart, which was on the verge of collapse, emitted a strong heartbeat before slowly returning to normal.

"His life is saved, but he'll need to stay in bed for at least six months before he can get up," Bai Yu said, getting up. Even with his medical ninjutsu skills, he couldn't make Might Guy recover quickly.

"Thank you!" Minato Namikaze said gratefully. Might Guy was a hero of Konoha. Otherwise, with Orochimaru's strength, it would have been very difficult for them to defeat him.

After all, he has only just awakened and cannot yet unleash his full power. He hasn't even developed more of the Sage Mode's Sage Techniques, so he is currently no match for Orochimaru.

"No need to thank me right away, I have my conditions too," Bai Yu said with a smile.

A tall man wearing a mask appeared behind Bai Yu, followed by Neji, a genius ninja from the Hyuga branch family, then Hyuga Eito, and other Jonin from the Hyuga branch family.

“What are you doing…” Minato Namikaze was stunned for a moment.

The masked man removed his mask, revealing his face as Hyuga Hizashi. "As the head of the Hyuga branch family, I hereby declare that the Hyuga branch family has officially broken away from the Hyuga main family and Konoha, joining Uzushiogakure as allies!"

"That's right, from today onwards, the ninjas of our Hyuga branch family will be independent!"

"Leaving Konoha and joining Uzumaki Village! I'm free!"

The other Jonin from the branch families all spoke excitedly.

Even those members of the branch families whose spines had been broken under years of oppression resolutely decided to follow Bai Yu after the caged bird curse was lifted.

"What?!" Minato Namikaze's expression changed drastically, his mind went completely blank, and he was utterly dumbfounded.

He had just regained consciousness when the village underwent a dramatic change, suffering a huge blow and heavy losses.

The Third Hokage is dead! And the one who killed him was none other than his student, Kakashi!

The Hyuga branch family is now planning to leave Konoha?!
