Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

"Yes!"

The man and woman at the head of the group threw out a scroll, and ten puppets of different shapes appeared at the gate of the watchtower.

The other four retreated and surrounded the watchtower on all four sides.

boom!

A fierce wind swept in, carrying purple poisonous smoke that quickly rushed into the watchtower.

At this point, the Konoha ninja inside the watchtower had no time to retreat.

Due to the disparity in raw strength, the remaining six Konoha ninja were quickly killed.

The only Jonin managed to hold on for a few more minutes.

"So this is the 'White Secret Technique: Chikamatsu Ten Puppet Masters'? It's really powerful! As expected of Lord Akashi and Lord Shirasa, they're only a few years older than me, yet they can control five puppets at the same time." Kosuke, the only sensory ninja in the team, exclaimed.

He had only recently been promoted to Special Jonin, and this was the first time he had witnessed Lady Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law using puppetry up close. They were indeed powerful.

No wonder he's a top candidate for the Fourth Kazekage.

"Hurry up and go, you'll be surprised later!" Another Sand Village Jonin patted Kosuke on the head.

Instead of cleaning up the battlefield, the group headed towards another hidden outpost.

[Chapter 46 Extrasensory Perception]

"and many more!"

Bai Yu, who was hurrying towards the lookout, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Uchiha Chiho looked at Shiraha with a puzzled expression and noticed that his face looked very pale.

'What happened?'

Bai Yu felt a tightness in his chest, and a sense of fear arose in his heart. However, his "sixth sense" was activated throughout, and he did not sense any abnormal energy field nearby.

Under the pale moonlight, Bai Yu looked at the lush trees and the narrow passage through the bushes ahead, and felt as if it were a ferocious beast with its jaws wide open, ready to devour people.

Bai Yu struggled with himself for a moment, then took a few more steps forward, the uncomfortable feeling growing stronger.

"Let's go! Let's go back the way we came!"

Bai Yu gritted his teeth and turned back immediately.

"..." Uchiha Chiho stared blankly at Shiraha's decisive departure.

We're not far from the outpost, so why are we suddenly turning back the way we came?

Uchiha Chiho glanced at the watchtower, then at Shiraha's resolute departing figure, pursed her lips slightly, and chased after him.

"Is this what the 'Sixth Sense' describes as 'extrasensory perception'?" After moving away from the outpost, Bai Yu's discomfort quickly subsided, and he became increasingly certain that there was great danger in the area where the watchtower was located.

If he stubbornly continues forward, he might just slide tackle and get himself killed.

If we return the way we came, even if we encounter enemies, they will be known to us, and there will also be a top expert like White Fang around.

......

About 1,500 meters from where Bai Yu had just been, a team of Jonin from Sunagakure was lying in ambush in the bushes.

At that moment, Kosuke's questioning voice rang out.

"strangeness?!"

"what happened?"

"Why did those two ninjas suddenly turn back the way they came? Did they discover us? That's impossible. Even the Byakugan couldn't detect us from this distance, right?" Kousuke was a little confused.

His sensory abilities allow him to perceive chakra in a specific direction for a short period of time. If he focuses all his energy on sensing, his observation range should be even greater than that of a normal Byakugan.

As one of the top sensory ninjas in Sunagakure, Kosuke was very confident in his sensory abilities, and those two ninjas definitely hadn't noticed them.

"Lord Chiyou, what do we do now?"

"Let's find a new hiding place. If no one comes after that, we'll launch a surprise attack on the stronghold," Chi You said.

"Isn't this a bit risky?"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If I can't succeed in one strike, I'll retreat immediately. This mission was originally to create chaos. Shirasa, what do you say?" Chiyou looked at his wife.

Bai Sha pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I agree. Anyway, the Sannin are still on the front lines, and the Third Hokage won't leave the village easily. Right now, among the Konoha Jonin, only White Fang is a troublesome one."

“Even if he leads the team, do you think he can defeat the two of us working together? If the enemy has more people, we will avoid battle.” Chi You’s eyes were filled with strong confidence. “Once the Land of Fire is in chaos, Iwagakure will definitely send troops as agreed. At that time, Konoha will be fighting on two fronts and will surely be defeated on all sides.”

"Let these Konoha ninjas witness the power of us puppeteers. Even without poison, they are no match for us!"

“Someone is coming from another direction.”

"Prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

......

On the other side, after Bai Yu and Uchiha Chiho returned the way they came, they encountered Bai Ya and the others every now and then.

The only difference is that there were originally 12 people in the 3 classes, but now after gathering, there are only 9 people left.

None of the three genin members of Team 17 are here.

"Shiraha, why did you come back?" Oshima Shuichi visibly relaxed when he saw Shiraha.

"We ran halfway and found that there were no pursuers after us, so we thought we would turn back to see if there were any wounded people who needed treatment."

Bai Yu explained.

Of the nine, only White Fang was unharmed; the others all had some injuries, especially Sakamoto Kota, the Jonin instructor of Class 17, whose arm bandages were bleeding profusely.

"Sakumo killed two of the enemy's Jonin, and the remaining enemies retreated, but it's still uncertain whether there are any other enemies," Oshima Shuichi explained briefly.

"No enemies detected yet." Hyuga Tsuchima and Hyuga Hidetoshi both activated their Byakugan to conduct reconnaissance.

“The fact that the other party was able to evade the Byakugan's observation clearly indicates that they have a ninja with extremely strong sensory abilities accompanying them. Don’t let your guard down,” said Hideaki Oshima.

"Yes!"

"Let's rest here for a while," Hatake Sakumo said, looking at Sakamoto Kota. "Kota, your injuries are quite serious. Let Shiraha treat you first."

"Yes." Bai Yu took out the medical kit and re-treated and bandaged Sakamoto Kota.

Everyone sat down to rest.

Sakumo Hatake frowned and said, "Judging from the number of enemy corpses left behind along the way, your squad members should have escaped the pursuit."

This place is less than five kilometers from the outpost. Based on normal timing, they should have already arrived at the outpost and notified the ninjas for backup, but no one has arrived yet. Something's wrong.

They only fought the enemy for about ten minutes. After he killed two Jonin, the enemy had already fled, so it shouldn't have been a trap.

"Sakumo, you're not thinking the outpost might have been taken down by the enemy, are you?" Oshima Hideaki asked, looking surprised.

It's not impossible. After all, their elite squad was attacked. If the enemy has another squad of similar strength, coupled with a skilled sensory ninja, they could have taken down the outpost.

"No way?!" Sakamoto Kota's expression changed. His students were all elites. If they were all killed, the loss would be too great. But he didn't have time to grieve. He had to let the village know about the enemy's entry as soon as possible.

This invasion is very likely a prelude to Iwagakure launching another war against Konoha.

This is very bad!

"You all recover your strength first. I'll go scout ahead. If I haven't returned in ten minutes, come find me," said Hatake Sakumo.

He was the only one in good condition among the group. If he acted alone, the danger would increase considerably, but he would also be more agile.

If he hadn't considered the danger to the genin, he wouldn't have let the other two Iwagakure jonin escape.

Even if the invading enemy is powerful, he can retreat alone without any worries.

"Sakumo, watch out!"

Kota Sakamoto said with a solemn expression.

After Sakumo Hatake left, Shiraha finished treating Kota Sakamoto.

He didn't give Sakumo Hatake the medical scroll because a ninja of his caliber would definitely obtain the [Healing Palm Technique Scroll] even if this was only a B-rank patrol mission.

Afterwards, Bai Yu took out the [Healing Spell Scroll] from his storage scroll and distributed it to the others.

"Everyone take two; I've made a lot of these scrolls."

Everyone took the time to rest, unsure if they would encounter any danger next.

[Chapter 47. Encounter Battle]

"It's time!"

Sakamoto Kota stood up and said that it was time to meet with Sakuya.

Thanks to Bai Yu's treatment, the wound on his arm has basically healed.

"Let's go. Kota and Munehito will lead the way, and the rest of you will form a swastika formation to protect Shiraha."

Hideichi Oshima.

It's not safe to stay here.

Sakumo, who went to scout ahead, has not yet returned; he may have encountered some trouble.

However, Oshima Shuichi was not worried about Sakumo's safety. To kill Sakumo in such a short time, the Third Kazekage would have to lead the team himself.

"Yes!"

Everyone followed the instructions.

Hyuga Tsuchima, Sarutobi Keita, Uchiha Chiho, and Hyuga Hideto shielded Shiraha in the middle and followed the three who were clearing the way.

......
