Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Might Guy, seeing it was Shiraha, forced a smile and said, "Oh, it's Shiraha. Are you on a mission with Shuichi-san again?"

Bai Yu nodded. "Mr. Dai, what's wrong?"

"Sigh..." Might Guy sighed, "There haven't been any quests like clearing out trash lately, and nobody wants to team up with me..."

“Mr. Dai, now that you mention it, I do recall something.”

My yard has been overgrown with weeds lately, and I haven't had time to clean it up.

I expect to be away for a long time this time, so no one has cleaned the house. I was just about to post the task!

If you don't mind considering these two things as one task, I'd like to delegate this task to you.

Bai Yu said.

"This...of course I'd like to, but is it really possible?!" Might Guy looked grateful, but hesitated slightly.

In recent months, he had become quite familiar with Bai Yu and knew that his parents had died in battle and that he was probably not well-off financially. He could do this kind of thing himself.

The person who posted the task probably wanted to help him out.

“If you’re willing, that would be a huge help. You can do all the housework. I’ll pay you when I get back. Is that okay?” Bai Yu took out his house key from his pocket and handed it to Matt Dai.

Anyway, he kept the most important things in his personal storage scroll. As for the experimental equipment, they were just basic introductory items and not really secrets.

“Of course, thank you so much, Bai Yu.” Might Guy nodded repeatedly. “So, are you issuing the mission now?”

"I'll issue the mission when I get back. You can go to my place first." Bai Yu looked at the stubborn Might Guy with some helplessness.

The village takes a cut of the task, so by assigning it directly to him, he avoids the middleman's profit. Besides, this is the lowest level task, with very low pay.

“Okay.” Matt Day naturally trusted Bai Yu and turned to walk towards Bai Yu’s house.

“Baiyu, you can help a ninja like that once, but you can’t help him forever,” said Hyuga Eito, who had been relatively quiet in the group.

Might Guy is somewhat famous, but only because he's over twenty and still a genin, knowing nothing but taijutsu and pitifully weak.

I heard that he has dragged his team down in low-level missions several times, to the point that even the new genin are unwilling to team up with him.

He can't take on C-rank missions as a solo player, so he usually competes with rookie genin for D-rank missions.

"We have a good relationship, it's just a small favor." Bai Yu smiled, it was rare for Hyuga Eito to take the initiative to speak.

After a period of adjustment, the team atmosphere was pretty good, except that Hyuga Hidetoshi and Uchiha Chiho were both the type to talk very little.

It wasn't that Bai Yu was overly kind; rather, the moment he saw Might Guy, he was reminded of Might Guy from the first season.

The two are not so much alike as they appear to be identical.

Might Day is clearly Might Guy's father; his signature clothes and habitual gestures are practically a carbon copy.

At the beginning of the story, Might Guy, like Kakashi, was an elite Jonin of Konoha Village and one of its most prominent figures.

He mastered a technique called the Eight Gates, which allowed him to break free from physical limitations and unleash terrifying chakra.

This is similar to the explosive power of the Knight's Breathing Technique, which piqued Bai Yu's interest.

This can be considered an early investment by Bai Yu.

If things go well in Konoha, then he'll stay; if Konoha hinders his development, then he'll leave. It's essential to build up connections beforehand.

Anyway, the mission rewards that Might Guy earns in a year probably don't even amount to the pocket money that Kushina gives to Shiroha.

Soon, Hideichi Oshima walked out of the mission hall; he had been assigned a mission to patrol the border.

The main purpose was to prevent Iwagakure from suddenly invading while Konoha's main forces were fighting in the western border.

Two other classes were on the same mission as them.

......

A week later.

In the dense forests of the border region.

Class 1, Class 12, and Class 17 met up.

When Bai Yu saw who it was, his heart skipped a beat.

To their utter surprise, the first squad was among those who were on the mission with them.

The members of Class 1 were none other than the former top student of the White Feather Class, Tsuchima Hoshino, Sarutobi Keita who was from the same clan as the Third Hokage, and Uchiha Munehito, the top student of the previous three classes.

The leader of the team was Sakumo Hatake, who was known as the White Fang of Konoha.

Sakumo Hatake was probably three or four years older than the Sannin.

Although he has gradually been overtaken by the Sannin in terms of reputation, in terms of strength, he is still the undisputed top Jonin of Konoha. When the Third Hokage was guarding the village, he was Konoha's trump card that could be deployed at any time.

In Bai Yu's perception, Hatake Sakumo's chakra strength was on par with Tsunade's, and stronger than Orochimaru and Jiraiya's.

As for the other Jonin, Sakamoto Kota, the three members he led seemed to be from the next class, and were also newcomers with excellent graduation grades.

Of the nine newcomers present, Bai Yu was the only one who was not from a ninja clan; the other eight were all elites from their respective ninja clans.

Of course, the most impressive among the genin is Uchiha Munejin from Team 1.

He should be just 15 years old this year, and his chakra strength is in no way inferior to that of a Jonin, so I don't know why he's still a Genin.

After the three classes met, the Jonin gave the new recruits a brief introduction before starting their deployment.

Next, they set up camp in an open area by the stream.

In three more days, their patrol mission will be over, and they can return to the village.

After the meal, with some time still remaining before it got completely dark, the three Jonin chatted amongst themselves.

The genin huddled around the campfire for warmth; the January nights were bitterly cold.

Sarutobi Keita was very talkative during his time at the Ninja Academy. With him starting the conversation, and with Shiraha, the rising genius medical ninja, keeping the atmosphere lively, everyone started talking more.

Only Uchiha Munejin sat a distance away from the other eight, his face arrogant. Although he maintained basic politeness, it was clear that he disdained to be associated with such low-ranking ninjas.

However, Bai Yu could understand. At such a young age, he already possessed strength comparable to a Jonin, and the Jonin leading the team was Konoha's White Fang. He had every right to be proud.

Of the nine genin, he and Bai Yu are the strongest in terms of actual strength.

Just as the conversation was getting more and more pleasant, Uchiha Munejin suddenly stood up, his face stern, and said:

"You! Come out with me."

He said this to Uchiha Chiho.

Uchiha Chiho was listening to everyone's casual conversation, occasionally chiming in with a few words. She didn't say much, but it was clear that she was enjoying the process.

When Uchiha Munehito called her, her expression tightened, she lowered her head and got up, following him toward the grove of trees nearby.

As soon as the two entered the grove, Sarutobi Keita peered out with a gossipy look on his face, then whispered:

"Hey~ Did you guys know? Chiho-senpai wasn't originally surnamed Uchiha; she came to Konoha later. I heard she was always ostracized by the Uchiha, and it seems it's true."

And this Uchiha Munejin is so arrogant. It seems that his first two teammates were replaced because they didn't get along with him.

"They're just a few years older than us, what's there to pretend about!"

"Most Uchiha are like that." Hyuga Tsuchima curled his lip, seemingly not having a good relationship with Uchiha Munejin either.

Bai Yu listened to the gossip silently without interrupting.

The brother and sister don't look very alike, but they are both very good-looking.

Considering that Uchiha Chiho wasn't originally surnamed Uchiha, it seems that some Uchiha had some romantic entanglements outside, and as a result, she was brought to justice.

[Chapter 43 The Value of Konoha's White Fang (Third Update)]

Before Sarutobi Keita could finish his gossip, Uchiha Munejin returned.

Uchiha Chiho followed behind with her head down, looking very downcast.

Uchiha Munejin walked straight toward the three Jonin. As he passed by the campfire, he glared fiercely at Sarutobi Keita, as if he had overheard what Sarutobi had just said.

Soon, it became completely dark.

They rested early because they would begin their patrols after daybreak.

The three shifts take turns keeping watch at night.

The 12th shift is on night watch during the first half of the night.

The four huddled around the campfire for warmth. The winter night was exceptionally cold, and even with Bai Yu's constitution, he wanted to quickly crawl into the tent.

"Bai Yu, I heard that you played a significant role in Lady Tsunade's creation of the medical scroll, is that right?"

Hyuga Hideto rubbed his hands together to warm them, and asked seemingly casually.

As a genius ninja from the Hyuga clan's branch family, he was not good at communication, but the main family ordered him to get along well with Shiraha. Although he did not know the specific reason, he had no choice but to comply.

He simply couldn't find a topic to talk about.

"This is all thanks to Lady Tsunade and the entire medical team. As a member of the team, I simply played my part," Bai Yu said with a smile, giving a standard answer that was essentially meaningless.

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Hideto paused, looking somewhat embarrassed. He opened and closed his lips a couple of times, seemingly unable to find any other topic, and then did not ask any further questions.

Silence fell over the room once again.

At this time, it was just a few miles away from the camp.

underground.

Four five-person combat squads from Iwagakure are lying in wait here.

Seeing that Sunagakure was losing ground in the war against Konoha, Iwagakure, which had been holding back, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Due to the inexplicable rampage of the Eight-Tails in Kumogakure, which caused enormous losses, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, has now turned his attention back to Konoha.

Although Iwagakure suffered considerable losses in the previous war, it had no other advantage but a large population.

Twenty Iwagakure ninja were ordered to infiltrate the Land of Fire to create chaos and test how much strength Konoha still possessed.

At the very least, Konoha should be given a signal that Iwagakure might join the war, while also giving Sunagakure hope so that they can hold out for a while longer and deplete Konoha's strength, in order to prepare for Iwagakure's next war against Konoha.

The biggest mistake Iwagakure made this time was failing to guard against Kumogakure; otherwise, they could have inflicted heavy losses on Konoha on the battlefield in the Land of Rain.

"Has the investigation been completed?"
