Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

If Jiraiya could mount an antenna on his ear, he'd probably be able to reach right up to the neighbor's.

Bai Yu called out, "Kushina, they heard everything over here!"

"You're so annoying!" Kushina's coquettish voice rang out.

"You wretched brat, daring to eavesdrop? Come here, I'm going to teach you a lesson!" Tsunade's slightly tipsy voice rang out.

"Tsunade-neechan, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Kushina said in a panic.

"Bai Yu wouldn't dare!" Tsunade continued, "Even if he did... Waaaaah~"

Before Tsunade could finish speaking, her mouth was covered.

Bai Yu shook his head and chuckled, realizing they had underestimated him.

He's not only brave, but he's also been very energetic lately.

"Ahem, well, you guys soak for a bit, I'm going out for a bit," Jiraiya suddenly said seriously, standing up from the hot spring.

Shiraha, Nawaki, and Orochimaru all turned to look at them.

After all, Jiraiya didn't have a good reputation in this regard.

"Lord Jiraiya, if you peek at my sister, you might die, you know?" Nawaki teased.

"I'll kill you!" Orochimaru's face was filled with murderous intent. He was furious at the thought of the gift Jiraiya had given him.

Bai Yu didn't speak, but simply smiled and extended his middle finger, making a chopping motion.

If Jiraiya dares to look around recklessly, Bai Yu swears he will make him the first eunuch in the Naruto world.

"What are you doing? I just wanted to go out and ask the boss to bring me a couple of drinks." Jiraiya chuckled sheepishly.

Kakashi, who was rubbing Sakumo's back nearby, also cast a curious glance.

Sakumo was lying on a rock by the hot spring. When he saw Kakashi stop, he gently tapped him on the head: "Kakashi, continue."

"Oh." Kakashi continued rubbing his back.

"Kakashi."

"What's wrong, Father?"

"Remember, don't be like Jiraiya when you grow up."

"..."

Kakashi was stunned for a moment before replying:

"understood."

......

Happy times always seem to pass too quickly.

After soaking in the hot spring, everyone parted ways at the intersection.

Kushina left with Tsunade and Nawaki.

Bai Yu followed Orochimaru out of the village.

Whenever he had free time, Orochimaru was busy with experiments.

It is said that he took in Shiraha, Chiho, and Eito as his disciples, but apart from carrying out missions together, Chiho and Eito never saw Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru-sensei." Halfway there, Bai Yu suddenly spoke up.

Orochimaru continued walking, asking in a calm tone, "What's wrong?"

Bai Yu: "I've been studying snake cells recently and want to obtain more samples for my research."

Orochimaru: "Aren't the samples in the lab enough?"

"I need someone who is alive and relatively strong!" Bai Yu added, "I recently learned the art of spirit communication."

Orochimaru paused, turned to look at Shiraha: "Next time, just say it directly."

"So you agreed?!" Bai Yu's face lit up with joy.

"I thought you would prefer to sign a contract with Shikkotsu-no-Kami, since slugs are docile and better suited to medical ninjutsu," Orochimaru said calmly. "I still have things to take care of right now. Come to my house and wait for me tomorrow."

"Yes, thank you, Orochimaru-sensei!" Bai Yu said respectfully.

Orochimaru: "Remember to prepare a gift."

Bai Yu: "A gift?"

"It's for summoning beasts. Most of the snakes in Ryuchi Cave will spare you out of respect for me. However, there are some powerful and volatile snakes inside, so it's hard to say."

Orochimaru explained.

"Yes!" Bai Yu's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that finding a suitable snake would be quite troublesome.

If that's the case, he should first sign the contract, then learn a few powerful spells, and then try to "subdue the snake with reason."

"Judging from your appearance, you must need very powerful snake cells, right?"

Orochimaru looked at Shiraha with great interest.

“That…is true.” Bai Yu nodded.

"Everyone has their own secrets, and I won't pry into yours. But if you have any difficulties, I can help you."

After saying that, Orochimaru turned and left.

[Chapter 67. Green Snake (Two Chapters Combined)]

The next day, at Orochimaru's residence.

Bai Yu arrived early, but Orochimaru wasn't home.

He had been here a few times before, so he walked to the backyard with ease.

The entire mansion occupies a vast area; the backyard alone is twice the size of Bai Yu's house.

You don't realize how big Konoha "village" is until you actually live here.

The 44th training ground used in the original Chunin Exams alone has a diameter of over 10 kilometers. There are fifty or sixty such training grounds in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, all located on the outskirts of the village.

Orochimaru and Kushina's houses are both quite large, but because they are located on the outskirts, the land prices here are far lower than in the central area.

Especially in the bustling areas of East Street and West Street, the land there was already allocated when the village was established, so even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

It's easy to imagine what it means for Kushina to have an entire street in West Street.

Bored, Bai Yu wandered around the house, glancing at everything except the more private bedroom and study.

"It's so deserted."

The house was clean and tidy, but it lacked a sense of life; there wasn't even a housekeeper.

The only green plant is an old tree in the backyard.

Bai Yu finally arrived at the kitchen and found that it was fully equipped with kitchen utensils, which showed signs of use, and an apron was hanging on the wall.

It's hard to imagine Orochimaru cooking while wearing an apron.

Bai Yu opened the refrigerator and found that only eggs, some compressed biscuits, and soldier rations were left inside.

Is that all?

It was still early, so Bai Yu went out to buy some ingredients, mostly dishes that Orochimaru ate at the restaurant.

For most of the morning, Bai Yu prepared a large table full of dishes.

Orochimaru didn't return until almost noon.

He walked into the living room and was stunned when he saw the various fragrant foods on the table.

Hearing the noise, Bai Yu put on an apron, picked up a soup ladle, and came out of the kitchen.

"Orochimaru-sensei, you're back. There's only one soup left before we eat. Go wash your hands first."

Orochimaru nodded silently.

A short while later, Orochimaru changed into a bright yellow casual outfit.

Bai Yu brought the last soup to the table, then ladled a bowl for Orochimaru. After Orochimaru took a sip, he asked, "Orochimaru-sensei, how does it taste?"

"Not bad, just a little too salty," Orochimaru said casually.

Bai Yu smiled and said, "It's probably because Kushina likes stronger flavors, so I got used to it."

Orochimaru: "..."

The two began to eat in silence, with only the slight clinking of chopsticks and bowls.

"I'm full." Orochimaru put down his chopsticks after eating only one bowl of rice.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Seeing this, Bai Yu's eating habits gradually became more unrestrained.

Soon, Bai Yu finished off more than a dozen dishes and a large pot of rice.

After Bai Yu put down his chopsticks, Orochimaru stood up and said, "Come with me to the Tenth Training Ground."

"Yes," Bai Yu said excitedly, finally the main event was about to begin.

However, when Bai Yu reached the doorway of the living room, he found Orochimaru still standing by the table without moving.

Orochimaru frowned slightly, his gaze lingering on the messy dining table.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yu asked in confusion. Following Orochimaru's gaze, he realized what was happening, but he didn't speak up. He just stared at Orochimaru.

"Remember to wash the dishes." The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, and Orochimaru remained silent for a long time before finally managing to utter these words.

"I'll wash it when I get back."

Bai Yu chuckled softly.

......

The outskirts of Konoha Village.

Bai Yu and Orochimaru arrived at the center of the tenth training ground, which was covered by a dense forest. There was a large open space that had been specially cleared out.
