Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

At the same time, under Bai Sha's manipulation, the chest of the last puppet suddenly opened, and more than a dozen kunai shot out, their surfaces gleaming with a cold blue light, clearly all of them coated with poison.

Bai Sha's attack included herself as well.

Her husband was killed, and she didn't want to live alone. Even if she couldn't die together with White Fang, she would severely injure him. The remaining Sand Village Jonin would avenge her and Akane!

puff!

Facing the puppet attacking from behind, Hatake Sakumo frowned and made a decision in an instant. He plunged his chakra blade directly into Shirasa's neck, then withdrew his blade to dodge.

Ding Ding Ding!

Hatake Sakumo brandished his chakra blade, blocking most of the kunai. Only two kunai managed to tear through his Jonin uniform, causing him minor injuries. However, the toxins on the kunai quickly caused his body to feel numb.

Click click click!

Shirasa, clutching her bleeding neck, seemed to experience a final burst of energy before death. The puppet spewed out a ball of oil, which instantly ignited. The puppet then swung its scythe-shaped weapon at Hatake Sakumo.

"Oh no!" Sakumo Hatake leaped into the air.

boom--

'Dragon Fire Technique'!

A fireball that came straight at them overtook them and struck the flames released by the puppet.

Ding!

Immediately afterwards, a metal object resembling a bracelet fell from the flames, along with the puppet that had completely lost its chakra support.

Bai Sha stared venomously at the boy who had suddenly attacked, and died with a look of resentment in her eyes.

"Shiroha?!" Sakumo Hatake stared intently and recognized Shiroha as the medical ninja in the team.

"Lord Sakumo, are you alright?" Bai Yu approached Sakumo Hatake.

While Oshima Shuichi and the others were dealing with the Sand Village's Jonin, he used his enhanced perception abilities of "Five Senses Enhancement" and "Sixth Sense" to locate White Fang and waited for an opportunity to strike. Finally, he stepped in to help at the crucial moment.

While using fire magic to block the oil released by the puppet, he also threw out a demonized item that contained the [Barrier] spell, releasing a magical shield to block the puppet's subsequent attacks.

After all, White Fang is the core of their mission. As long as he doesn't cause any problems, their safety can be guaranteed.

"Thanks to you." Hatake Sakumo's body went numb, and he knelt down. The poison had paralyzed his entire body. If it weren't for Shiraha's sudden attack, he would have been seriously injured by Shiraha's dying counterattack.

The key issue is that all the antidotes have been used up; Sunagakure's poisons are indeed unparalleled in the ninja world.

"Lord Sakumo, let me treat you." Bai Yu quickly took out an antidote from his medical kit, gave Sakumo Hatake an injection, and then used his palm technique to treat his wounds.

As expected of Konoha's White Fang, although he had many wounds, apart from a relatively long and narrow wound on his chest, the other wounds were not deep.

The two Jonin from Sunagakure were not much weaker than Orochimaru in terms of chakra strength, yet White Fang managed to defeat them both.

Judging from his appearance, it seems that he was injured because he was rushing to help others.

[Chapter 49. Pyrrhic Victory and Great Victory]

"Baiyu, how are the others?" As the antidote took effect, Hatake Sakumo's body quickly regained its strength, but he didn't have much chakra left.

"The others are dealing with the Sand Village's Jonin; all the ninja at the outpost have been killed," Bai Yu replied while using Healing Palm Technique to treat Sakumo Hatake's chest wound.

boom!

A huge explosion suddenly came from the direction Bai Yu came from, seemingly mixed with the screams of ninjas.

"Take care of this quickly, then I'll deal with the enemy." Hatake Sakumo frowned.

Bai Yu nodded and said, "Okay."

He quickly bandaged Hatake Sakumo's wound with a special bandage.

"Bai Yu, preserve the body carefully."

After saying that, Hatake Sakumo quickly left.

Bai Yu looked at the two corpses, a man and a woman, in front of him, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

He took out a sealing scroll he carried with him and sealed the body, touching the blood on the body with his fingers during the sealing process.

The data is revealed under the "eye of truth"—

[Cells of a powerfully irradiated organism (1/1) were obtained. Cell viability and blood purity meet standards. Quality: Excellent]

[Cells of a powerfully irradiated organism (1/1) were obtained. Cell viability and blood purity meet standards. Quality: Excellent]

[Promotion requirements for third-class apprentices: 1. Spirit ≥ 6.0, Constitution ≥ 2.0, not yet completed; 2. Cells or tears of powerfully irradiated organisms (3/3), completed]

......

By the time Bai Yu collected the bodies and arrived at the battlefield, all the Jonin of Sunagakure had already perished.

However, all of their own men were also injured.

The most serious injury was to Shuichi Oshima, who was leaning against a tree trunk with a deathly pale face, his right arm severed at the root.

Uchiha Munejin clutched his chest, blood continuously seeping from between his fingers.

Sarutobi Keita lay on the ground, his hands tightly clutching his lower abdomen, his body twitching slightly.

Everyone was using [Healing Scrolls] to cover their wounds and treat them.

"Shuichi-sensei, let me take a look at your wound. I'll help you stop the bleeding." Shiraha quickly came to Shuichi Oshima's side.

"Let's treat Keita first," Oshima Shuichi said through gritted teeth, enduring the excruciating pain.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu took out the [Palm Immortal Technique] scroll and handed it to Oshima Shuichi.

With Bai Yu's current chakra reserves, creating the [Hand Healing Technique Scroll] would be somewhat difficult.

This was a gift from Tsunade for him, just in case; he only had one.

"Bai Yu...it hurts so much...save me...I don't want to die...cough cough cough cough!" When Sarutobi Keita saw Bai Yu appear before him, it was as if he saw a glimmer of hope for life. The blood overflowing from his mouth had choked him so much that he could no longer make a sound.

"It's okay, don't move, the pain will go away soon!"

Bai Yu examined Sarutobi Keita's injuries, his expression somewhat grave.

He placed his hands lightly on Sarutobi Keita's stomach, and the pale green chakra released by the Palm Healing Technique continuously entered his lower abdomen.

Sarutobi Keita's internal organs ruptured, and his intestines spilled out of his abdomen. At this point, there was no hope of recovery.

Bai Yu's actions could not save him, but could only greatly alleviate his pain and allow him to pass away with some dignity.

"Stop wasting chakra! He's dying! Heal me now!" Uchiha Munejin shouted from the side.

He had been stabbed in the chest by an enemy; although not fatal, it was still quite serious, and the intense pain made his expression appear somewhat ferocious as he spoke.

The healing effects of the [Healing Scroll] were insufficient to heal his injuries.

“Bai Yu… Huff—! Huff—!” Hearing what Uchiha Munejin said, Sarutobi Keita was somewhat bewildered. When he saw Bai Yu’s expression, his face was filled with fear and resentment, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

A short while later, he closed his eyes forever.

Although everyone knew that Uchiha Munejin was right, it still seemed somewhat cold-blooded for him to say such things before his teammate died.

Most importantly, even Oshima Shuichi, whose injuries were more severe than his, did not utter a word.

Bai Yu stopped channeling chakra and slowly closed Sarutobi Keita's eyes.

"I'll treat Lord Sakumo and Teacher Shuichi's injuries first." Bai Yu's mood was somewhat heavy, and his tone was not very good. After checking Uchiha Munejin's wounds, he took out a healing scroll and handed it to Uchiha Chiho.

"Chiho, thank you for your help."

"Hmm." Uchiha Chiho took the scroll and came to Uchiha Munejin's side.

After the effect of the [Palm Immortal Technique Scroll] wore off, Bai Yu used the Palm Immortal Technique to treat Oshima Shuichi. After the bleeding was completely stopped, he applied medicine and then bandaged him up.

Then, he treated everyone in turn, according to the severity of their injuries.

This is really tiring.

While being treated, Hyuga Eito couldn't help but shed tears silently. When Shiraha asked him, he learned that Oshima Shuichi had lost his right arm in a desperate counterattack by the enemy while trying to save him and Sarutobi Keita.

This highly skilled and selfless elite Jonin has lost his right arm, which means he has lost most of his swordsmanship and can no longer use the ninjutsu he has learned. He will probably have to retire to the second line in the future.

Of course, the gains this time outweighed the sacrifices.

The elite puppeteer squad of six Jonin from Sunagakure was completely wiped out.

Sakumo Hatake alone killed four Jonin. Two from Iwagakure, and Akane and Shirasagi from Sunagakure, especially the latter two, who were important figures in Sunagakure.

The only price they paid was the deaths of three genin from Team 17 and Keita Sarutobi from Team 1, one elite jonin who was seriously injured, and the others who sustained minor injuries.

If it weren't for White Fang's trump card this time, Sunagakure and Iwagakure would definitely have caused turmoil within the Land of Fire.

In particular, the Jonin squads of Sunagakure are all elites. If they were to fight a guerrilla war, even if it weren't for White Fang leading the squad, it would probably take the Sannin to defeat them with an equal number of Jonin.

It is no exaggeration to say that the victory in this encounter thwarted the Sand Village's conspiracy and could even become the catalyst for ending the Second Shinobi World War.

From a strategic perspective, the morale of the Sand Village troops at the front lines will certainly be hit once they learn of this devastating news.

From the perspective of the number of people and the value of the dead alone, Konoha made a huge profit.

However, life is priceless; once it can be measured by value, it becomes worthless.

Shiraha's relationship with Sarutobi Keita was only so-so, mainly because he had to play a 'positive character'; otherwise, they wouldn't have had much interaction at all.

But this talented newcomer, who had a high probability of becoming a Jonin and participating in high-level decision-making, died right in front of Bai Yu.

If they went directly to the front lines, hundreds or thousands of ninjas would engage in a massive melee, which would likely be even more brutal.

......

After Bai Yu finished treating all the wounded, Hatake Sakumo said, "Collect the bodies and send the information back to the village as soon as possible. We'll await orders from the higher-ups."

"Hmm." Sakamoto Kota nodded. Although he had gained a lot from this battle, he was somewhat depressed because the losses were too great.

The group used sealing scrolls to preserve the bodies of the Sand Village Jonin.

Because there are special methods to obtain information from the corpses of ninjas, the bodies are sent to the village's torture department before the chakra in the brain completely dissipates. Professional ninjas then use secret techniques to read some fragments of memories.

The reason why Bai Yu destroyed the body and disposed of the evidence after killing the Iwagakure ninja with the [Acid Missile] was for the same reason.

As for helping Sakumo Hatake with the demonized items earlier, he wasn't worried because the [Barrier] spell left no trace of casting, and with the concealment of the Fire Release technique, he wasn't concerned.

In this battle, the bodies of other fallen Konoha ninjas could only be cremated as soon as possible, since they did not have enough sealing scrolls to store their bodies.
