Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

The impact of the Konoha Collapse Plan on Konoha is far from over.

Besides the loss of ninjas and property, Konoha's reputation has also plummeted in the ninja world. Even if the Yellow Flash awakens and takes charge again, it is unknown how many years it will take for Konoha to return to its former glory.

Unlike Konoha, in Uzushiogakure, thanks to the addition of over a thousand members of the Hyuga branch family, the top-notch research talent Orochimaru, and the powerful assistant Kabuto Yakushi, Shiraha's experimental progress has been greatly accelerated.

At this moment, in the central area of ​​the underground laboratory.

Kushina lay in the giant nutrient tank wearing close-fitting underwear, while Shiraha watched over her.

Only after Kushina had completely absorbed the nutrient solution and her body emitted a special energy particle fluctuation did Bai Yu open the nutrient chamber.

Kushina slowly opened her eyes. Her originally dark eyes had turned pure white, with a hint of pure azure blue within the white.

"Kushina, how are you feeling?" Bai Yu helped Kushina up and asked about her condition. In his perception, Kushina's chakra had increased by nearly half.

It's important to understand that Kushina originally possessed an enormous amount of chakra, so for her to have increased to this level is an extremely exaggerated thing.

"Its eye power is very strong, but it keeps increasing!" Kushina said, covering her eyes, feeling a constant swelling and discomfort in her eyeballs.

"This must be the fetal movement of the Tenseigan."

Bai Yu speculated.

With top-notch scientific talent and a large number of samples, Bai Yu actually managed to help Kushina awaken the Tenseigan by extracting pure Otsutsuki chakra from Orochimaru's body and combining it with a large amount of Byakugan power.

[273. Chapter 262 Promotion to the Third Rank (Part 1)]

Konoha 61th year.

Thanks to the sweeping reforms of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and the full support of his many ninjas, Konoha Village has returned to the right track.

Furthermore, unlike Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze personally led a delegation to Uzushiogakure after stabilizing the internal situation of Konoha. He discussed with Shiraha the matter of deepening the alliance between the two villages, truly placing Konoha in the position of an ally of Uzushiogakure, rather than a competitor, with Uzushiogakure being outwardly united but inwardly divided.

Bai Yu was naturally pleased to see this situation.

He has already brought the two great clans, Uchiha and Hyuga, into Uzushiogakure. Although other Konoha ninja clans all have their own unique and powerful secret techniques, they are not indispensable to Shiraha.

Unlike the Third Hokage and Danzo, Minato Namikaze did not make a series of blunders. He quickly stabilized Konoha shortly after waking up.

After Orochimaru joined Uzushiogakure, the only threats to Hakuba in the entire ninja world were Isshiki Otsutsuki and his Kara organization.

Furthermore, Sasuke, who is the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, and Naruto, who is the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, may grow into powerful beings approaching the level of Six Paths in the future.

According to the timeline of the parallel world, their strength increased by leaps and bounds in only about three years, and by Konoha 64, they had directly surpassed the combat power of other ninjas by a whole dimension.

However, for Bai Yu, Naruto and Sasuke were not a threat, and there was no real hatred between them.

Most importantly, after Bai Yu broke through the bottleneck and reached the second level of crystallization, the process of materializing his spiritual power rapidly improved with the help of the Samadhi True Fire and the Grell Stone. After more than a year of cultivation, he is about to complete the process of spiritual power crystallization. The next step is to prepare for the advancement to the third level "Spirit Summoner".

Bai Yu is only 36 years old this year, yet he has already begun the process of being promoted to the third level, which is probably an extremely outrageous thing in the wizarding world.

The current Bai Yu is similar to Orochimaru before, with strength roughly at the ceiling of the Kage level. He possesses methods to threaten Six Paths level opponents, but he cannot engage in prolonged combat with Six Paths level powerhouses.

However, the so-called Super Shadow level and Six Paths level are not as clearly and specifically divided as Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 sorcerers. Basically, it depends on actual combat.

As long as you have the means to threaten the opponent, it is entirely possible, and it can even be said, not difficult, to defeat the strong with the weak.

Orochimaru relied on the chakra of Isshiki Otsutsuki within his body.

Bai Yu's strengths lie in his powerful physique and mental strength, as well as various powerful spells.

Under normal circumstances, in the formal wizard (sorcerer) stage, level three is not a qualitative change level, but only a great increase in strength and lifespan. However, for Bai Yu, a "spirit summoner" who has cultivated the "Gu Yinduo Advanced Sorcerer Meditation Method", each level advancement brings a surge in combat power.

Whether a normal level 3 wizard can match a level 6 wizard, especially someone like Six Paths Madara who excels in every aspect and has no weaknesses, is still unknown.

However, if Bai Yu advances, he might be able to suppress a Six Paths level cultivator using pure attributes.

Over the course of more than a year, with the support of Bai Yu's resources, Orochimaru not only recovered from his injuries but also advanced to the first-level "Companion Python Sorcerer," greatly increasing his strength. Without considering bloodline suppression, his strength was in no way inferior to Bai Yu's.

Of course, this is mainly because Orochimaru absorbed Isshiki Otsutsuki, which allowed his strength to explode dramatically in a short period of time. Once he has fully digested Isshiki's chakra, his subsequent advancement will probably not be so easy.

However, to Bai Yu's surprise, the one whose strength improved the fastest among them was not Orochimaru, but Kushina.

After more than half a year of the Tenseigan's embryonic development, Kushina's eye power finally stabilized after a second round of growth, and her strength surpassed that of Shiraha and Orochimaru.

At this time, east of the Land of Fire, near the sea.

A figure enveloped in light blue chakra descended from the clouds; it was Kushina, dressed in an orange fitted suit.

She opened her palm, and a ball of pale golden chakra gathered in her hand.

At this moment, two Seeking Truth Orbs, resembling black spheres, floated behind her.

Under Kushina's control, the two Truth-Seeking Balls hovered in mid-air around her palm. Then, one of the Truth-Seeking Balls fell into her palm and merged with the golden chakra in her palm.

hum-

Kushina raised her right hand, and a golden chakra giant sword grew in the wind, exceeding a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!'

The chakra lightsaber sliced ​​through the air and fell rapidly, as if space itself had been torn apart.

boom--

The sea, dotted with whitecaps, was suddenly split in the middle, and along the path of the hundred-meter-long sword light, waves tens of meters high surged up on both sides.

Where Kushina swung her sword, a vacuum zone more than five meters wide was created in a short time.

The sword light pierced through the sea and landed on the seabed more than ten meters deep in the nearshore waters.

A large number of sea fish were blasted into the sky by this sword!

Bai Yu:......

Orochimaru: !!!

Nine-Tailed Fox: (☉_☉)

The power of the Reincarnation Eye! Terrifying indeed!

Although they knew that the Tenseigan and Rinnegan were ocular techniques of the same level, Bai Yu and the others were still somewhat shocked to see the Tenseigan unleash such terrifying power in Kushina's hands.

After all, Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, was captured alive by Kushina despite having a relative advantage in strength.

Kushina has only recently awakened the Tenseigan, yet she already possesses such exaggerated combat power; it's simply outrageous!

Keep in mind that Kushina hadn't even used the Nine-Tails' power yet. With just the Tenseigan, her strength was probably already on par with Shiraha and Orochimaru, only slightly weaker.

With the addition of the Nine-Tails' chakra and Nine-Tails' Sage Mode, Kushina's overall strength has now become the strongest in the ninja world.

It's hard to say whether this current setup can withstand Kaguya Otsutsuki in her complete form. Although Kaguya's combat skills are terrible, her spatial abilities are very troublesome, making her difficult to deal with.

However, against other Otsutsuki, they'd probably win easily.

"With Kushina possessing such strength, I can now safely go into seclusion." Bai Yu felt reassured as he watched Kushina move across the sea with lightning speed.

The biggest threat right now is Otsutsuki Isshiki, who is hiding in another dimension. Unfortunately, although Shiraha has learned space-based magic, his space abilities are not as free as the eye techniques that come with the Rinnegan.

Moreover, either don't go, or if you go, deliver a fatal blow.

It wouldn't be difficult for the three of them to defeat Yishi if they joined forces, but killing him, or even capturing him alive, would be much more difficult.

Therefore, Bai Yu will either advance to the third level or awaken the Samsara Eye; otherwise, he will not attack Yi Shi for the time being.

His bloodline purity has reached a critical point. Even the pure Otsutsuki chakra provided by Orochimaru will affect the purity of Bai Yu's bloodline. Therefore, he can only purify and absorb it little by little. After all, his bloodline purity has been raised with great difficulty, and Bai Yu cannot accept a slight decrease.

Given his current bloodline purity, if he advances to the next level, it will further stimulate his bloodline power, and it's not impossible for him to skip the Eternal Eye stage from the Mangekyou Sharingan stage and directly awaken the Rinnegan.

As long as I get promoted, I can be sure that everything will go smoothly.

Although Bai Yu is also skilled at fighting opponents of higher levels, he prefers to rely on sheer strength to overwhelm them if possible.

"Bai Yu, what do you think? I feel the Tenseigan is perfect for my fighting style, it's a perfect match! I think it's great..."

Kushina stopped adjusting to the power of the Tenseigan, flew to Shiraha's side, and asked excitedly.

Her fighting style has always been rather reckless, especially since she started practicing the "Crimson Dragon Calamity," she has gone all the way down this reckless path.

Even though she has now mastered the Nine-Tails Sage Mode, gaining a huge boost in speed and chakra, and her sealing techniques are more powerful, even surpassing Bai Yu in some aspects, her favorite fighting style is still head-on confrontation.

If it weren't for the fact that it's too late to learn the Eight Gates now, Kushina would have even considered learning the Eight Gates and opening the Gate of Death to test its power.

According to Bai Yu's description, using the Eight Gates Formation does not necessarily lead to death, as long as one's physique is strong enough.

Might Guy originally planned to die from a heart rupture after using the Eight Gates Formation, but he was saved by Bai Yu.

Might Guy is currently paralyzed due to the aftereffects and is lying in Konoha Hospital, but he is still alive. As long as his physique continues to improve, it is not impossible for him to make a full recovery in the future.

Actually, Bai Yu has a way to help Might Guy recover as soon as possible, but there's no need for it.

He had some dealings with Matt Day before, but he had already saved Matt Day once during World War III.

Might Guy is now clearly determined to stay and serve Konoha. If a conflict arises with Konoha in the future, Hakuba might not be afraid of Might Guy's Eight Gates Formation, but it's hard to say what might happen to others.

Let him stay in bed for a few more years until Bai Yu unifies the ninja world and ushers in a new era, then let him get out of bed.

"Don't even think about it. You can't master the Eight Gates. Once your body transforms into a perfect immortal body, I'll teach you an even stronger explosive technique!" Seeing Kushina's eager expression, Bai Yu knew she hadn't given up on the Eight Gates and advised her.

"Okay." Kushina nodded; it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

"I'd better hurry up and fully master my power. Although the Tenseigan is strong, I am still superior!" Nine-Tails said with its forelimbs crossed and a proud look on its face.

"All right, all right, I see."

Kushina's perfunctory response.

"What kind of attitude is this?!" Nine-Tails roared.

"Alright, stop fooling around." Bai Yu said, "I won't be in the village for a while, so you all need to be careful."

Isshiki Otsutsuki's strength should not be underestimated. His Kara organization has many powerful members. You may not be afraid, but others cannot fight against so many powerful individuals.

Furthermore, whether Urashiki Otsutsuki will appear is also unknown. In short, be careful.

Bai Yu gave a serious instruction, explaining that he had already informed Kurama and Kushina about the parallel world, as well as the threat posed by Isshiki and future plans.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful. But how long will it take you to come back this time? It won't be several years again, will it?!" Kushina nodded, looking somewhat reluctant.

Bai Yu smiled and said, "The plan will begin in about three years at most, so I will be back in three years at the latest."

I'm only a little short of reaching the bottleneck. Returning to the Grell Mine will greatly increase my advancement speed. After I advance to level three, my cultivation speed will probably slow down significantly.

Once the trouble is completely resolved, we can slowly develop this planet. We'll be together for hundreds or thousands of years to come, so what's a little time now?
