Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Bai Yu gave instructions.

There are priorities, and the most important thing right now is to deal with Black Zetsu and Isshiki first, and then investigate the Flaming Mountain.

Bai Yu hoped that there was a higher quality Samadhi True Fire inside the Flaming Mountain, but even if there wasn't, he could slowly investigate and explore it in the future. Right now, the one thing he had in abundance was time.

"Lord Baiyu, may I join you? I also wish to deal with Yishi personally."

Guoxin Jushi said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu recalled that Kashin Koji was cloned to deal with Isshiki, but that was Isshiki from a parallel world, who had already been devoured by Orochimaru. If it weren't for an accident, there should still be a Kashin Koji in this world.

"No need. My goal is to capture Yishi alive. I don't have time to take care of you." After a moment's hesitation, Bai Yu chose to refuse.

Although the advantage seems to be in their hands, no one knows the outcome before the fight begins, so bringing along Kashin Koji, whose strength is clearly going to be a hindrance, is not a wise choice.

"Yes," said Guoxin Jushi respectfully. He was merely trying to express his thoughts and did not insist.

"Well, I'm leaving."

Bai Yu nodded slightly, then returned to the Whirlpool Ninja Village via the teleportation array.

When he arrived at the central office building, ready to surprise Kushina and Chiho, he heard a commotion coming from the office. Chiho seemed very excited.

"What did you say?! Say it again, why don't you agree?!"

Chiho excitedly slammed her hand on the table.

However, Kakuzu, sitting behind his desk, looked at Chiho and the group of Uchiha clan members behind her with a blank expression and calmly replied, "According to the original plan, most of the funds in the Land of Whirlpools are to be used to support the development of the Serpent Spirit Group and Snow Country Heavy Industries, so I don't have any extra funds to allocate to you."

"The Snake Spirit Group and Snow Country Heavy Industry's annual profits are so high that they don't need the village's support at all. In fact, they are constantly providing funds to the village, so they don't need the village's economic support at all." Chiho said helplessly. Kakuzu was completely stubborn and wouldn't give face to anyone.

The Uchiha clan joined Uzushiogakure less than ten years ago, but the population has increased by more than two hundred. The village has various policies to encourage childbirth and also provides free education.

However, because there are too many new generation members, the Uchiha clan plans to build a well-equipped school within the ninja clan. This is not a big project, but it requires funding from the village.

To everyone's surprise, Kushina agreed to the matter, but Kakuzu disagreed. This finance minister really doesn't give face to anyone.

So the Uchiha clan members went to the former clan leader, Chiho, to plead for them, but Kakuzu still refused.

"Rules are rules. These are the rules set by Lord Baiyu, and no one can receive special treatment." Kakuzu shook his head again.

Chiho, rubbing her forehead, turned to look at her clansmen behind her, helplessly spreading her hands, and said, "See? I told you he wouldn't give me face, didn't I? Even if Kushina and I pleaded on his behalf, it was no use!"

At this moment, the Uchiha clan members behind Chiho couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment. Kakuzu had even brought up Hakuba's name; what else could they say?

In fact, Bai Yu did treat powerful clans like the Uchiha with preferential treatment; they wouldn't be so poor that they couldn't even afford to build their own university.

Ultimately, it was the Uchiha clan's own selfish motives. If they could use the funds allocated by the village, they could naturally build a larger school. After all, it was all for the village to cultivate talent, and talent was naturally more important than money.

Although Chiho knew what her clansmen were thinking, she couldn't refuse them directly, so she came to Kakuzu to put on a show and put an end to their ideas.

At that moment, Chiho seemed to notice something and suddenly glanced outside the office, but saw nothing.

As Shiraha watched the Uchiha clan members disperse, he, who had cast an invisibility spell, grew increasingly satisfied with Kakuzu, the Minister of Finance.

If the Land of Whirlpools were to unify the world in the future, Kakuzu would control an incredibly large amount of resources and funds. Therefore, Shiraha needs someone like Kakuzu who is loyal to his duties and respects the rules.

......

Country of Fields.

Deep within the towering mountains lies a little-known secret stronghold.

It would be hard for anyone to imagine that Orochimaru, a super S-rank rogue ninja, was hiding here.

Because many political figures from other countries were mistakenly injured during the Konoha Collapse Plan, Orochimaru is now wanted by the entire ninja world.

At that moment, Orochimaru, who was conducting an experiment in the underground base laboratory, suddenly stopped.

A swirling pattern appeared in the space behind him, and Obito appeared in the laboratory.

"Madara? What are you doing here?!" Danzo, who was lying in the petri dish, sat up. At this moment, Danzo seemed to have been rejuvenated, and his body seemed to have returned to its prime. His chakra was unusually active.

"It's time to declare war on the six great ninja villages, but before that, I want to test the strength of Yagami Shiroha and Uzumaki Kushina."

Obito said in a low voice.

"Is it finally starting?!" Danzo's eyes lit up.

"I'll go with you and cover for you." Orochimaru's expression was solemn, clearly showing that he valued Shiraha and Kushina very much.

"Hmm." Obito nodded coolly.

"Danzo, you can stay here. You still need time to get used to the Oni-Garra Technique, at least another month. You don't need to interfere now."

Orochimaru glanced back at Danzo, then teleported away with Obito using Kamui.

After the two left, Danzo's expression darkened slightly. Compared to Orochimaru and Madara, he was clearly treated as a subordinate and vassal. Even though Orochimaru helped him transplant five bloodline limits through the Oni-Garaku Technique, he was still not regarded as an equal collaborator.

"Orochimaru, Madara..." Danzo clenched his fists, feeling the surging chakra within his body. With the complete fusion of the five bloodline limits of the Oni-Garaku Technique, he would gain true immortality.

If he can make Orochimaru, Madara, Shiraha, and Kushina all seriously injured, then his chance will come!

"Just you wait, I'll show you who the real victor is one day!"

......

It is located in the mountains and forests not far from the village of Uzushio Ninja.

A creature with a yin-yang face, resembling a Venus flytrap, emerged from the ground; it was Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.

The next second, vortex-like patterns appeared in the space in front of them, and Obito used Kamui to appear in front of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu with Orochimaru.

Obito mimicked Madara's deep voice and said calmly, "You guys are here quite early."

"Is it finally about to begin? I can't wait!" Bai Jue said jokingly.

Black Zetsu, standing to the side, was somewhat worried and hesitated, saying, "Madara, isn't it a bit premature to attack Uzushio Village directly now? Shouldn't we notify Nagato to come along? It's unwise to launch such a rash attack."

Black Zetsu already knew Orochimaru's strength; he was a powerful figure comparable to Yagami Shiroba and Kushina. But he also knew perfectly well what level Obito was at.

If a real fight were to break out, he, Obito, and White Zetsu would all be mere bystanders; it would basically be Orochimaru fighting two against one.

Making a move now doesn't offer a high chance of winning.

Even if Nagato comes, the odds of winning are still less than 50%, unless Nagato uses the Outer Path Samsara Rebirth Technique to revive Madara right now.

The best approach is to separate Shiraha and Kushina first, then gather all available forces to defeat one of them before dealing with the other.

“That’s certainly not wise,” Obito said slowly, mimicking Madara’s tone.

"Then why..." Black Zetsu couldn't help but press, though he restrained himself greatly because he was playing the role of Obito's subordinate.

“Because it is you who are unwise, not us,” Orochimaru’s slightly hoarse voice rang out.

"What do you mean?!" Black Zetsu was startled.

"Of course it means exactly what it says, Black Zetsu."

A spatial fluctuation came from in front of them, and Bai Yu's figure appeared in front of Hei Zetsu and Bai Zetsu.

Black Zetsu, realizing Obito's betrayal, cried out, "Obito, you betrayed me?!"

At this moment, Black Zetsu saw the suddenly appearing white feather. He didn't have time to activate the cursed seal Madara left on Obito's heart to kill Obito. He just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.

However, his body had only been halfway into the ground when he felt another fluctuation in the space in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu felt the scene in front of them change, and the next second, they were still hidden underground.

"What's going on?!"

Black Zetsu and White Zetsu seemed to emerge from the ground as if beyond their control.

At the same time, vortex-like patterns appeared in the space in front of the two, and Obito appeared before them together with Orochimaru using Kamui.

Obito: "You guys are here early enough."

White Zetsu: ? ? ?

Black Zetsu: ? ? ?

"Is it finally going to start? I can't wait!" Bai Jue's expression twisted, but he still managed to say those words.

Black Zetsu: !!!

The next second, Black Zetsu, in a state of extreme shock and confusion, wore the same twisted and worried expression as before: "Madara, isn't it a bit premature to attack Uzushiogakure directly now? Shouldn't we notify Nagato to come along? It's unwise to launch such a rash attack."

Next, Obito and Orochimaru took turns speaking, and then it was Shiraha's turn to appear.

At this moment, outside this space, Orochimaru and Obito both looked at the repeated scene in the space in front of them with disbelief, and then looked at the three-tomoe Rinnegan in Bai Yu's eyes.

"What...what's going on?!" Obito asked instinctively.

"..." Orochimaru looked surprised. He sensed the powerful eye power continuously released from Bai Yu's eyes and had a general idea in his mind. However, he really couldn't imagine how Bai Yu could have developed the Rinnegan in just a few years.

You should know that he absorbed the complete technique and, after so many years of adaptation, only recently awakened one of the Rinnegan.

Orochimaru couldn't help but feel relieved that he hadn't chosen to be enemies with Shiraha.

Bai Yu's growth rate is so fast that it's almost unbelievable.

Bai Yu, watching Black Zetsu and White Zetsu gradually lose their minds under the eye technique, turned to Orochimaru and Obito and explained:

"This is my Rinnegan eye technique—'Infinity Ring.' How powerful is it?"

[278. Chapter 257 The War of Unification (Part 1)]

"...Very strong!" Orochimaru activated the Rinnegan in his right eye, sensing Shiraha's eye technique, and after a long silence, gave this answer.

His Rinnegan abilities also involve space, since the Otsutsuki Isshiki he absorbed also possessed spatial abilities.

Orochimaru possesses various secret and forbidden techniques, but spatial abilities have always been an area he couldn't access. Now that he has awakened the Rinnegan, he has filled his only weakness, making his ability to survive much stronger.

However, compared to Bai Yu's Rinnegan eye technique, his awakened spatial ability seems utterly insignificant.

Orochimaru could sense that Hakuba seemed to have used his eye technique to sever the space in front of him, creating an independent space.

In other words, if Bai Yu were to use the "Infinity Ring" eye technique against him, his fate would likely be the same as Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, with little ability to resist.

Because when Bai Yu released the "Infinite Ring", there was absolutely no warning.

"It seems that space has been isolated!" Obito has possessed space-time jutsu for over a decade, and his mastery of spatial abilities even surpasses that of Orochimaru, who has awakened the Rinnegan. His Kamui ability is also connected to a unique space that belongs solely to him.

However, Obito's personal space must be based on the real world.
