Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

......

April 12, Konoha Year 36.

Today is the graduation orientation for the Ninja Academy.

Students, whether graduating early or on time, will all gather here.

Becoming a genin is just the beginning; the future class assignments will be the moment that initially determines their fate.

Currently, Konoha and Sunagakure are at war, and Jonin, as high-level combatants, are a scarce resource. There are very few Jonin who can serve as instructors.

Even among students from ninja clans, only those with exceptional talent have the opportunity to receive guidance from their clan's Jonin (high-ranking ninja), let alone those students with no background whatsoever.

The three-way war between Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure in the Land of Rain lasted only about a year.

The great war between Sunagakure and Konoha has gone from a local conflict to a full-scale war, and now to a war of attrition, and has lasted for nearly three years.

Some small and medium-sized ninja clans suffered heavy losses in the war, and some were even wiped out.

The Gekko clan, renowned for its Konoha-style swordsmanship, has only about two hundred members, but it is a formidable force among small and medium-sized ninja clans.

All four Jonin of the Moonlight Clan have now perished in the war.

Chunin are the backbone of the village, while Jonin are those who can participate in major village decisions and have voting rights.

After this battle, it is easy to imagine that the Moonlight Clan's influence in the village will plummet.

this is the truth.

Soon, Sakamoto Midorikawa entered the large classroom, went to the podium, cleared his throat, and announced in a loud voice:

"Congratulations, students! From today onwards, you will all become glorious Konoha genin."

However, your ninja career is only just beginning...

Sakamoto Midorikawa's impassioned speech completely ignited the enthusiasm of some students, making it seem as if they were about to go to the battlefield to fight for the village.

On the contrary, most of the ninja clan members are relatively calm, and they are able to understand how cruel the war really is through their clan.

Looking at the passionate teenagers in his class, Bai Yu sighed inwardly, realizing that he had only felt truly passionate when watching Naruto in his first life when he was a teenager.

Now... I don't feel that way at all.

These people don't even consider that even Nawaki, the grandson of the First Hokage, almost died on the battlefield with Orochimaru's protection if he was even slightly careless. Who can they rely on?

"Of course, I hope that while you are all highly motivated, you must obey the captain's orders. In school, you can fail countless times, but once you start a mission, one failure could result in injury or even death. I hope you will remember my words!"

After giving the students a pep talk, Sakamoto Midorikawa poured cold water on their enthusiasm with these words, which were earnest and deeply moving.

Only those in the lower or middle classes can truly appreciate that nothing is easy.

"Now, let's begin the class assignments..." Seeing that the passionate boys in the class had calmed down a bit, Sakamoto Midorikawa picked up the class assignment list from the podium and began to read it aloud.

"Team One: Hyuga Tsuchima, Sarutobi Keita, Uchiha Munejin, Jonin instructors..."

When he read this part, Sakamoto Midorikawa paused, his eyes suddenly widening, "Instructor Jonin Hatake Sakumo!"

"Sakumo Hatake!?"

"Konoha's White Fang?!"

"Why were the Hyuga and Uchiha groups grouped together?"

"This is even allowed?!"

As soon as Sakamoto Midorikawa finished speaking, the class erupted in an uproar.

While some may not recognize the name Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha is renowned throughout the ninja world. His fame even surpasses that of the current Sannin, making him the undisputed number one Jonin of Konoha.

Hyuga Doma and Sarutobi Keita were the first and second place finishers in this year's graduating class.

Uchiha Munejin was even more outrageous; he was the top graduate three years ago. These three were in the same class, which was already a powerful combination. Unexpectedly, the instructor, a Jonin, was actually Konoha's White Fang.

This is even more exaggerated than the fact that the Jonin was one of the Legendary Sannin.

"What a top-tier team!" Bai Yu thought to himself. According to the previous class assignments, the team should generally take into account the balance of graduates.

But now it seems that this is clearly a move by higher-ups to take care of this year's outstanding graduates.

Of course, Bai Yu wasn't envious at all.

Transferring to another team usually happens when a team suffers a loss of members. In a better scenario, one of the members is promoted to Chunin and goes to lead another team.

The worst outcome is either being forced to change careers due to injury or dying.

The configuration of the first shift doesn't seem to be suitable for performing low-level tasks like finding cats or cleaning up trash.

"Quiet!" Sakamoto Midorikawa raised his voice. By now he had calmed down. He could understand why White Fang would lead a team of Jonin, given that he was a genius from the Hyuga clan, plus a genius from the Third Hokage's clan.

"Second class..."

"..."

Sakamoto Midorikawa continued reading.

Soon they arrived at Baiyu.

"Team 12... Shiraha, you've been assigned to Jonin Oshima Shuichi's class, the same class as Uchiha Chiho and Hyuga Hideto from the year before last."

Sakamoto Midorikawa reminded him, also feeling happy for Shiraha.

"That guy Shiraha is so lucky! He's in the same class as Chiho-senpai!"

"Damn it! Chiho-senpai is so cute, I'm so jealous!"

"My father told me that Shuichi Oshima is very strong and often goes on missions with Sakumo Hatake!"

"Why is he in the same class as the Uchiha and Hyuga?!"

Some students in the class who knew the truth started discussing it.

However, some people envy that Bai Yu is able to team up with Uchiha Chiho, a gentle and very beautiful senior.

Many Uchiha are arrogant and haughty, but there are exceptions.

I heard the Uchiha clan allows outsiders to marry into their families; who wouldn't want to be a kept man?

Some people are also concerned that Bai Yu's teammates are Uchiha and Hyuga, the top two in the previous competition, and the captain is also a powerful Jonin.

Starting with Team 5, special Jonin and Chunin began to appear as team leaders. Originally, the resources of the later teams were worse, but unexpectedly, Bai Yu's team assignment was second only to Team 1.

"That concludes the class assignment process..."

"Teacher, what about me!?" Kushina asked as soon as she saw Sakamoto Midorikawa put away the class assignment list.

“Kushina-san…” Sakamoto Midorikawa paused, looking troubled. “There’s no class assignment for you on the class list. I think the Third Hokage must have other plans, right?”

Logically speaking, Kushina's grades were good enough that she shouldn't have failed to be assigned to a Chunin class, but she wasn't shown on the class assignment list, and the school leaders told him not to worry about it.

As soon as he finished speaking, the boys who had been beaten by Kushina began to make fun of her.

"Hmph! Outsider! Being allowed to stay in Konoha is already a blessing for you, yet you dare to dream of being in the same class as us! What a pipe dream!"

"Exactly, who would want to be in the same class as you!"

"Let's go, don't stay here and get in the way."

Although they couldn't beat Kushina, the boys became bolder when they were together as a group.

Bang!

Kushina slammed her hand on the table, and with a crack, the table behind her split open. She died on the spot.

Her red hair moved without wind, and she exuded a terrifying aura, her hands clenched into fists:

"I think you guys want a beating!"

Seeing the 'blood red pepper' unleash its power, the boys immediately fell silent.

Bai Yu stood up, gently patted Kushina's hand to comfort her, and then looked at Sakamoto Midorikawa:

"Teacher, if possible, I would like to be in the same class as Kushina."

Kushina concealed her true strength as Shiraha had requested, displaying power that was only around the top ten in her class and the thirtieth in her grade.

However, the truth is that Kushina surpassed others at the end of last year, breaking through to the formal Rider level with "Red Dragon's Calamity". Coupled with her terrifying chakra and strength, although she only has one ninjutsu, Shadow Clone Jutsu, and her combat skills are not particularly superb, ordinary Jonin are no match for her.

As for Bai Yu, he reached the rank of official knight last month and has also learned the A-rank medical ninjutsu, Palm Healing Technique.

He felt that his overall strength was comparable to that of a Jonin, but he was probably a notch below Kushina when she unleashed her full power of breathing techniques.

The main reason is that after Kushina's relationship with Kurama improved, she had more and more chakra available. When training, she would often use a shadow clone swarm tactic on Bai Yu, dozens of people attacking him. No matter how strong his stamina was, he couldn't withstand it.

Rather than teaming up with others, Shiraha naturally preferred to be teammates with Kushina, someone he could entrust his back to.

"I'm sorry, Shiraha, the class assignment was decided by the Third Generation Master, and I have no right to change it."

Sakamoto Midorikawa shook his head.

"Then I'll go find the Third Hokage!" Kushina ran straight out of the classroom.

"Excuse me, teacher, I'll go take a look." Bai Yu hurriedly chased after him.

"Kushina!" Bai Yu quickly caught up with Kushina and grabbed her hand.

"Don't stop me! I'm going to find the Third Generation and get to the bottom of this! Why weren't I assigned to a different class?!"

Kushina said angrily.

"It's so dangerous outside right now, it's much safer to stay in the village," Bai Yu advised.

"You're not in my class, how can I guarantee your safety! Besides... that Uchiha Chiho is so beautiful..."

Kushina was initially worried about Shiraha's safety, but towards the end, she sounded a little sour.

Bai Yu then realized, "I have no intention of marrying into the Uchiha clan."

"As expected, you have feelings for her!" Kushina's eyes widened, a dangerous glint flashing in them.

"?" Bai Yu was completely bewildered. "What kind of thought process is that?"

Seeing that Kushina was still somewhat sullen, Shiraha continued:
