Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Only one last cold gaze met Kakashi's eyes.

The next second, Obito's figure appeared in the forest.

Black and white Zetsu emerged from underground and appeared beside Obito.

"This is the best time to retrieve the Mangekyou Sharingan, why don't you make your move?"

Black Zetsu's hoarse voice rang out.

The White Zetsu in its true form quipped, "Of course it's because you can't bear to part with your friendship with Kakashi. After all, he was your former comrade, right, Obito?"

"I have my own plans," Obito said in a deep voice, without directly answering Zetsu's question.

Because the Konoha Collapse Plan was too big a deal, news that Orochimaru had joined forces with Sunagakure to attack Konoha and that he had teamed up with the rogue ninja Kakashi to kill the Third Hokage had spread throughout the ninja world in a very short time.

This naturally attracted the attention of the Akatsuki organization.

Black Zetsu and White Zetsu also arrived in the Land of Fire immediately.

Obito's initial desire to acknowledge Kakashi as his father wasn't strong. Later, when Black Zetsu and White Zetsu arrived, it became even less likely that he would reveal his identity and arouse their suspicion.

Furthermore, both Black and White Zetsu possess the ability to merge with plants and the earth, so Obito was unaware that they had been following him.

Now we'll see what tricks he has up his sleeve for Kakashi.

"Kakashi does have one of your Mangekyou Sharingan after all. He's desperate now. If you don't invite him to join Akatsuki, he'll definitely go and join Yagami Shiroha, which is a big problem! Hopefully, he won't become our enemy and affect the Eye of the Moon Plan."

Black Zetsu said meaningfully.

He doesn't trust Obito and has even begun to suspect him, but Obito doesn't seem to have any obvious ulterior motives at the moment, and there aren't many Uchiha clan members he can use, so he can only turn a blind eye.

"Shouldn't we be more concerned about Orochimaru than this? Why has his strength become so great! Moreover, Konoha is hiding a ninja like Might Guy, with the Eight Gates Formation and taijutsu that can even affect space. These are the key factors that will affect the plan."

"Obito said in a deep voice."

"Orochimaru's strength has almost caught up with Madara's peak, and may even be stronger! This is a big problem." The White Zetsu, who was standing to the side, became serious for once and analyzed with a solemn expression.

Obito went to Konoha alone, but White Zetsu actually left spores on him.

Although the White Zetsu spores did not directly transform into clones to avoid being discovered by Obito, they left traces in every place Obito visited, and even watched the final battle of the Konoha Collapse Plan from a distance away from Obito. Therefore, there is a relatively intuitive assessment of Orochimaru's combat strength.

Unfortunately, none of the spores outside Konoha Village manifested as clones before they were all destroyed.

Only a monster like Yagami Shiraha could possess such perceptive abilities.

"The biggest problem right now is still Uzushiogakure. We can use Konoha and Orochimaru to deal with Shiraha and Kushina respectively."

Obito said calmly, but only he knew his true thoughts.

However, Black Zetsu nodded: "That's the only way."

"Should we go and make contact with Orochimaru first?" White Zetsu suggested.

“Orochimaru was seriously injured in this battle, and it will probably be difficult to find him. Leave it to me,” Obito said.

"That's the only way," Black Zetsu replied. "Let White Zetsu help you."

"Hmm." Obito nodded. He knew that even if he didn't agree, Black Zetsu would have White Zetsu secretly follow him, and he would definitely be even more suspicious, so he agreed directly.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely find Orochimaru!"

The White Zetsu in its true form said confidently.

......

Uzushio Ninja Village.

An open space behind the mountain.

Bai Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his entire body covered in white scales, and a pale red flame enveloped his body, with the center of the flame faintly white.

Guoxin Jushi is summoning a large amount of Samadhi True Fire to temper his spiritual power.

After Orochimaru chose to join forces with Hakuba, he directly absorbed a large amount of Hakuba's blood and became Hakuba's direct bloodline.

Later, Orochimaru was easily suppressed by the white feather bloodline. While entrusting his life and death to the white feather, Orochimaru also gained great benefits. The rich bloodline power enhanced Orochimaru's physique, amplified his mental strength, and allowed his injuries to heal rapidly.

Orochimaru also shared a wisp of his Otsutsuki chakra with Hakuba.

The reason for giving only a small amount was that he was still recovering from serious injuries, and in order not to affect his recovery, it was Bai Yu who took the initiative to offer it.

After obtaining the Otsutsuki's original chakra, Bai Yu felt that the time for a breakthrough had come, and in just one night, his spiritual power successfully entered the second stage of crystallization.

Because of the refined Grell Stone that enhanced his vitality and recovery ability, coupled with another breakthrough in his mental strength, Bai Yu asked Guo Xin Ju Shi to summon the Samadhi True Fire, which had a higher temperature, to train his mental strength.

The effect was just as obvious as at the beginning, and the process of materializing mental energy was even faster.

Orochimaru moved into the underground laboratory of Uzushiogakure and stayed next to the room where Shiraha usually rested.

When Orochimaru saw the various advanced experiments in Shiraha's laboratory, he exclaimed that if Shiraha had told him these things earlier, he would have come to join him long ago.

Of course, Bai Yu knew that Orochimaru was exaggerating. After all, if possible, no one would want to completely entrust their life and death to someone else.

Orochimaru has now incorporated a large amount of his blood, and will need even purer blood for his future advancement. He can essentially be considered a bloodline vassal of Shiraha.

Unless Orochimaru is willing to give up the white feather bloodline within him after recovering.

But doing so is almost tantamount to suicide.

A small amount of bloodline can be removed, but removing a large amount of bloodline is a devastating blow to the very essence of the soul, which would reduce lifespan by more than 90%. At that point, even if Orochimaru wanted to pursue the path of chakra, he wouldn't be able to.

The bloodline struggle among bloodline sorcerers is a life-or-death war.

Unless one party is willing to submit.

However, after Orochimaru was saved by Hakuba, he seemed to have made up his mind to follow Hakuba.

Therefore, before he went into seclusion to recover from his injuries, he asked Bai Yu for more pure blood, intending to advance directly to the next level of Bloodline Sorcerer after recovering.

Bai Yu readily agreed and even gifted Orochimaru a high-purity Grell Stone.

This will not only allow Orochimaru to recover quickly, but also make him even stronger after his advancement.

For Bai Yu, a subordinate whose strength is equal to his and who would never betray him is better than a thousand troops.

In particular, Orochimaru was able to provide Shiraha with tremendous assistance in scientific research, which was something that no other assistant could match.

"Are you tickling me?!"

Feeling the Samadhi True Fire rapidly weakening on his body, Bai Yu came to his senses and looked at Guoxin Jushi.

Guoxin Jushi's face twitched, and he immediately unleashed his full power of chakra, summoning even more Samadhi True Fire.

"Hiss~!" Bai Yu enjoyed the supreme pleasure of training his mental strength with the Samadhi True Fire. Looking at the increasingly strained Guoxin Jushi, he felt more and more that it was necessary to go to Flame Mountain when he reached level three. Whether it was the bloodline of the toads there or the Samadhi True Fire of Flame Mountain, they were things that Bai Yu was determined to obtain.

The bloodlines of the two great immortals of Shikkotsu Forest and Mount Myōboku are very strong, but they do not have a significant effect on improving Haku's bloodline.

If he wants to advance to level four as soon as possible, he will need a higher-level bloodline source.

However, he has already reached level three, so there's no need to rush to reach level four; he can take his time to plan ahead.

Bang!

After Bai Yu finished absorbing the Samadhi True Fire from his body, a cloud of white smoke suddenly appeared on the open ground in front of him.

A gigantic white figure appeared.

"Lord Baiyu, the person has been brought." The white snake spoke through ventriloquism, lowering its proud head.

The white snake opened its mouth, and Kakashi stood inside it.

Kakashi, his face pale, emerged, his hand resting on his sharp, white teeth that were taller than a person.

After much deliberation, Kakashi decided that joining forces with Bai Yu was the only option, so he contacted Bai Yu through a scroll.

Who would have thought that the summoning beast sent by Bai Yu would be so particular, not letting him touch its body at all. In order to be able to transfer together, it swallowed him whole. Although the white snake did not have bad breath, being in the mouth of such a giant summoning beast was not a good experience for Kakashi.

"Senior Bai Yu."

Kakashi staggered over to Shiraha.

"I'm a little sorry I didn't get to see you before. Welcome to Uzushio Ninja Village. From now on, you'll be my direct ANBU!" Bai Yu smiled. He had seen Kakashi being taken away by Obito, so he was certain that Kakashi was safe and left Konoha.

"Thank you..." Kakashi was about to express his gratitude when he suddenly realized that his Mangekyou Sharingan had broken free of its seal and was releasing its power.

The sudden turn of events startled Kakashi; he had no intention of attacking Shiraha.

"It's alright, don't be nervous." Bai Yu helped Kakashi up, and then without resistance, his mental energy was pulled into an illusion space.

A few seconds later, Bai Yu came to his senses.

"Senior Bai Yu, what is this...?" Kakashi asked in confusion.

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Soon, one of your old friends will join us."

"You mean..." Kakashi's eyes widened.

"Go and rest first, otherwise Lin will definitely worry." Bai Yu didn't continue.

"Ok."

Kakashi hesitated for a moment, but then obediently went to the hospital in the Land of Whirlpools.

[Chapter 272. Reincarnation Eye]

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a light rain began to fall.

Konoha Cemetery.

Led by the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, the ninjas gathered here to hold a memorial service for all the ninjas, including the Third Hokage, who died in the Konoha Destruction Plan.

Everyone was dressed in black suits, their expressions solemn as they bowed their heads and silently mourned the deceased.

Some of the ninjas who lost their families couldn't help but burst into tears, and a sorrowful and oppressive atmosphere enveloped the space.

The awakening of the Fourth Kazekage was originally a great thing, but the Sand Village betrayed them, and the Fourth Kazekage joined forces with Orochimaru of the Sound Village to launch an attack on Konoha.

Kakashi, the son of White Fang and known as the "Konoha Technician" and "Copy Ninja," actually killed the Third Hokage and betrayed Konoha.

Furthermore, with the Hyuga clan's branch family ninjas leaving Konoha, the village suffered a devastating blow during this Konoha Collapse Plan.

Although Konoha reacted quickly and launched an effective counterattack, it still lost many Chunin and Jonin, while Genin, women, and children were better protected.

In the previous three Shinobi World Wars, although Konoha fought fiercely, its homeland had never suffered such great losses.
