Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

"Yes, judging from the number of people, there should be three Jonin teams, but judging from the intensity of the chakra I sense, there are probably four Jonin, one of whom is very strong and difficult to deal with. The other eight seem to be Genin and Chunin."

"20 against 12, the number of Jonin is the same, but we have a big advantage at the Chunin level. How so?"

"My advice is to take the initiative."

"That's right, at least kill a few genin and chunin. Konoha is known for producing geniuses and likes to train outstanding newcomers, right? Maybe there are some among them!"

"I agree, I'll deal with the strongest Jonin!"

"it is good!"

With the four Iwagakure Jonin reaching a consensus, they decided to launch a night raid on the Konoha Jonin squad.

......

"Hmm?" Shuichi Oshima, who had been leaning against the tree trunk with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Shuichi-sensei, what's wrong?" Shiraha asked, noticing Shuichi Oshima's serious expression.

"I feel a chill in my heart. Yingren, take a look at me with your eyes rolled!"

Shuichi Oshima said somewhat uncertainly.

"Yes." Hyuga Eito nodded. Although this place was close to the outpost, he would still activate his Byakugan every one or two hours to check the situation when he was on night watch, just in case.

Because of the influence of being a caged bird, his maximum observation radius for white eyes is one kilometer, but this distance is sufficient to handle most unexpected situations.

Roll your eyes!

In the dim yellow light of the campfire, Shiraha noticed the bulging veins at the corners of Hyuga Eito's eyes, which looked somewhat ferocious.

"Huh!? This is bad!" Hyuga Eito's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "There are twenty ninjas surrounding us from 800 meters away. They are the enemy! With that chakra level, they are at least four Jonin!"

"Be on alert! Wake everyone up!"

Shuichi Oshima immediately stood up.

The sound of their conversation had already awakened Hatake Sakumo and Sakamoto Kota, who were resting, and then Uchiha Munejin woke up.

Bai Yu and Uchiha Chiho quickly woke up the others.

After receiving the intelligence, Sakumo Hatake remained calm and quickly formulated a response:

"Zongren, you, Shuichi, Kota, and I will fight the enemy Jonin together."

Remember! Just hold them off! I'll deal with the enemy as soon as possible and come help you.

The others retreated to the outpost according to their original squad formation, notifying the ninjas there to provide support.

Prepare for battle!

"Yes." Uchiha Munejin remained calm, his dark eyes instantly turning crimson, and four black tomoe appeared.

Everyone followed the orders and quickly retreated.

During the retreat, Uchiha Munejin and three Jonin remained at the rear of the group.

"The enemy is charging at full speed!" Hyuga Tsuchima warned.

"Scatter!" Sakumo Hatake gave the order, drew his chakra dagger from his back, and advanced instead of retreating.

The distance of several hundred meters was covered in an instant as both sides accelerated.

As chakra was poured into him, the short sword in Hatake Sakumo's hand instantly turned silver-white.

laugh!

A bolt of lightning-fast sword light pierced the darkness.

"what!"

"what!"

Two screams rang out almost simultaneously.

In just one encounter, two Iwagakure ninjas were killed by Hatake Sakumo.

The Iwagakure Jonin leading the team was greatly alarmed.

The Chunin in the team are all quite strong; a group of three can handle ordinary Jonin.

Using the faint light emanating from the chakra blade and the dim moonlight of the night, the Iwagakure ninja finally saw Hatake Sakumo's appearance clearly.

A silver-white chakra blade, a cold and aloof face, white hair, a ponytail—this is...

"Oh no! It's Konoha's White Fang!" The Iwagakure Jonin exclaimed in alarm.

The reputation of Konoha's White Fang was forged with the blood of ninjas from the four countries.

However, since the two sides had already clashed, he had no choice but to face Hatake Sakumo head-on.

"The rest of you, go after the retreating ninjas!"

Another Iwagakure Jonin gave the order.

The number of Jonin is equal, but the opponent has Konoha's White Fang, so winning is impossible.

The only option was to send Chunin to chase after people and draw their attention, while the Jonin took the opportunity to retreat.

As for the pursuing Chunin, well, they're on their own.

As Bai Yu prepared to retreat, he silently recited an incantation, activating "Five Senses Enhancement" and simultaneously opening his "Sixth Sense".

With his enhanced perception and dynamic vision, he barely managed to make out Hatake Sakumo's sword strike.

Judging from their chakra reactions, neither of the two enemies is weak; they are at least not ordinary Chunin.

However, in the blink of an eye, both were killed.

This was the first time Bai Yu had ever witnessed a ninja of this caliber unleash their full power in a life-or-death battle.

With his breathing techniques and spells, he was confident he could hold his own against a regular Jonin, but what if he faced that slash from Hatake Sakumo earlier...?

Is this the strength of Konoha's White Fang?

[Chapter 44: The Pursuit]

boom--!

The first wave of kunai, each strapped with an explosive tag, shot out, and the Jonin were thrown into a fierce battle.

Apart from the two who were instantly killed by White Fang, the remaining 14 Iwagakure ninja pursued the retreating White Feather and the other eight.

Bai Yu and the others, according to their original squad composition, divided into 2, 3, and 3 formations and retreated in three different directions.

Compared to the 14 adult ninjas who were pursuing them, although their side consisted of elite genin, each of whom was no less powerful than a chunin, their teamwork in group combat might not be as good as the enemy's.

It would be better to disperse according to the original squad organization, so that the enemy would also have to divide their forces to pursue.

Although they still faced a numerical advantage from their enemies, this avoided a large-scale melee involving more than a dozen people, and the team members of each squad were able to cooperate more effectively.

"Chiho, you take Shiraha and go first. I'll draw the enemy away," Hyuga Eito said quickly, as he wanted to separate from Shiraha and Uchiha Chiho.

He discovered that the enemy had sent three men to pursue the members of Squad 70, while of the remaining 11 men, six went after Squad 1 members Hyuga Tsuchima and Sarutobi Keita, and the remaining five or six men headed straight for their squad.

It was clearly the flashes from the exploding tags that gave them away; Hyuga and Uchiha were always the ones who received special treatment on the battlefield.

The Byakugan, in particular, has strategic significance. During the First Shinobi World War, the Hidden Cloud Village killed a member of the Hyuga main clan, but the Second Hokage took back his eyes on the way back.

Although eye transplantation technology is not mature, and neither the Byakugan nor the Sharingan is suitable for non-humans, the enthusiasm of various countries for obtaining the Byakugan and Sharingan has not diminished at all.

Given the chance, the enemy will not give up any opportunity to kill the Hyuga and Uchiha ninjas.

Bai Yu sensed that the five Chunin pursuing him were all quite strong. He reached into his robes and pulled out two scrolls, which he tossed to Hyuga Hideto, who was jumping up a tree to the right.

"Thank you, please take care of yourselves!" Hyuga Eito took the green standard scroll and immediately realized that it was a medical scroll.

At this moment, two of the five pursuing enemies immediately split up to chase after Hyuga Eito.

The remaining three continued their pursuit of Shiraha and Uchiha Chiho.

shhhhhh!

Various ninja tools kept attacking from behind.

"Are there only 3 people left?" Bai Yu frowned slightly. Hiding wasn't a solution; it would be better to counterattack, eliminate these three, and then get to the outpost as quickly as possible.

Thinking this, Bai Yu had just leaped up from a tree trunk when he heard the sound of kunai shooting towards him from behind. He immediately increased his magic output, enhancing the "Five Senses Enhancement" effect.

With the support of powerful dynamic vision, Bai Yu turned around and threw a kunai. The kunai that was blocked hit the tree trunk below, and the explosive tags on it detonated instantly.

boom!

The tree trunk instantly exploded into fragments, and wood chips scattered in all directions under the impact of the huge shockwave. Bai Yu leaped and landed on the open ground in front of him.

The explosive power of the Knight's Breathing Technique is more easily maximized on the ground.

"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!"

One of the pursuers landed and quickly formed hand seals, sending several bolts of lightning hurtling towards Bai Yu.

The other two attacked Uchiha Chiho.

Seeing that Shiraha was under attack, Uchiha Chiho did not hesitate to go forward to help, but the other two enemies did not give her the chance and launched an attack on her at the same time.

Blocked, Uchiha Chiho had no choice but to turn around and fight back. She leaped down from the tree trunk and completed the hand seals in mid-air.

'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!'

She puffed out her cheeks, and her Fire Release chakra rapidly gathered, instantly unleashing a fireball with a diameter of over five meters.

The fireball, accompanied by a terrifying heatwave, hurtled towards the enemy.

Immediately after landing, she threw six more shurikens, blocking the enemy's retreat.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

One of the Iwagakure ninjas quickly swung a kunai to block the incoming shuriken.

The ninjas, forced back by the Great Fireball, attacked from another direction, forming a pincer movement against Uchiha Chiho.

On the other side, after dodging the lightning attack, Bai Yu engaged in close combat with the enemy.

"So fast!" This was also Bai Yu's first time fighting a ninja to the death; he hadn't had many opportunities to make a move before.
