Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

"Ah."

Kakashi responded coldly.

"You're so cold! My dad and I came out to buy groceries, why don't you come to my house for dinner? You must be bored spending the New Year alone, right?"

Might Guy pointed to Might Day, who was walking slowly behind him.

Kakashi's expression darkened, and he clenched his fists, saying, "No need, I'll go back first."

After saying that, Kakashi left immediately.

"Uh." Might Guy stood there awkwardly, stunned. Had he said something wrong? He probably shouldn't have brought up Kakashi's affairs alone, after all...

Kakashi had just arrived at West Street when he ran into Shiraha and Kushina.

"Senior Shiraha, Senior Kushina."

As Kakashi passed by the two, he greeted them.

"Kakashi," Bai Yu said with a smile, "We were just about to go eat, want to come along?"

Kakashi shook his head slightly: "No need, I'll go home and cook."

"Cooking is such a hassle, and you have to wash the dishes afterwards. Besides... don't you want to talk to me?"

Bai Yu said.

Kakashi's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something, and he asked, "Senior Shiraha, can you tell me what you said to my father before?"

"Of course you can, but you wouldn't want to talk about such a sensitive topic on the street, would you?" Bai Yu smiled slightly. "Let's go, let's eat first."

"Ah."

Kakashi followed Shiraha and Kushina into the high-class restaurant.

However, during the meal, Shiraha and Kushina took turns serving him food, and he didn't intend to speak until he finished eating.

Do you really think everyone has a huge appetite like you two...? Kakashi was so full he rolled his eyes.

However, the feeling of eating without speaking at all, immersed in the moment, is very familiar.

After the meal.

The three of them walked out of the restaurant.

Shiraha: "Kushina, I'll take Kakashi home first."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Kushina smiled and waved, "See you, Kakashi."

Thank you for your hospitality.

Kakashi bowed slightly and left with Shiraha.

......

Halfway there, Bai Yu spoke first:

"No one will be bothering you now. You can ask me anything you want. I can tell you anything I know."

"Senior Baiyu, is there any hidden reason for my father's death? Why did he commit suicide? I know my father; he wasn't a fragile person!" Kakashi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with confusion and hope.

He wanted to get the real answer.

"You could say yes, or you could say no," Bai Yu replied.

"What do you mean?"

"Senior Shuo Mao's decision to commit suicide was his own. With his reputation, no one could force him to take his own life. However, there were many reasons that led him to commit suicide," Bai Yu explained.

"Your father was a great ninja, and the Will of Fire was his unwavering belief. He committed suicide because his belief collapsed, and someone trampled on the Will of Fire! So he wanted to use his life to sound the alarm for some people."

"Who is it?!" Kakashi's eyes turned cold, filled with murderous intent.

“The third generation…” Bai Yu said slowly, “and those villagers who followed suit and made accusations.”

"The Third Hokage?! How is that possible?" Kakashi looked incredulous. After Sakumo died, the Third Hokage cared a lot about him. How could it be the Third Hokage?

"Senior Sakumo's mistake wasn't a matter of choosing between prioritizing the mission or his comrades. Because there's no right or wrong in such matters; the final interpretation rests with those in power. His only mistake was that he was too strong and had too high a reputation. But he wasn't strong enough, and his reputation wasn't high enough either."

Bai Yu then asked.

"If you were the Hokage, you wouldn't want someone to succeed you, but that person is the most popular choice to succeed you. In that case, suppressing him and making him lose the trust of the people is obviously better than killing him directly."

But... the tools that he can arbitrarily alter are, in the eyes of some, faith and spiritual pillars!

Foolish people like to follow the crowd, believing that the Hokage represents the Will of Fire and is the authority, which is why they become accomplices.

"How could this be?" Kakashi stared blankly at Shiraha. "That's why you said the Will of Fire has become a tool."

"My words are just a reference for you. Whether they are right or wrong is not important. What is important is that you use your own eyes to find the truth."

Bai Yu patted Kakashi on the shoulder, then turned and left.

"Find the truth for yourself..."

Kakashi stood there, lost in thought.

If he becomes Hokage, will he be able to find out the truth?

......

"How did it go?" Kushina asked. "What did Kakashi say to you?"

Bai Yu: "It's nothing. I just planted a seed. Whether it can take root and sprout depends entirely on the soil. It has nothing to do with me."

[Chapter 102. Kakuzu: Is this the true value of a 41 million ryo bounty? (Large Cup 5600)]

April is the season when cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Between the Ninja Academy and the main street of East Street, there is a long corridor lined with cherry blossom trees, and the entire corridor is covered with bright and beautiful cherry blossoms.

In the morning, Shiraha accompanied Kushina to admire the flowers, and in the afternoon, he plunged into the laboratory.

Although Kushina was only using the Nine-Tails' chakra in its initial stages, her strength underwent a qualitative change when she used the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

Although Kushina had mastered the "Crimson Dragon Calamity" technique before Shiraha, Shiraha was still able to fight her based on his experience and skills.

But ever since Kushina learned the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode...

Bai Yu was no match for him at all.

The Nine-Tails' chakra was so powerful that Bai Yu was increasingly looking forward to the innate spells he would receive after his advancement.

Mito Uzumaki's seal still exists in Kushina's sealing space, but the restrictions on Kurama are much less than before.

The Nine-Tails was able to greatly increase Kushina's chakra reserves, which in turn significantly accelerated the progress of Shiraha's experiments.

The golden chakra refined by the Nine-Tails is of the same "perfect" quality as its own chakra, but the golden chakra is gentler, which makes the cultivation process of the "Divine Tree" bloodline much smoother and increases its purity by 5%.

At this moment, Bai Yu was conducting further experiments on cell fusion in the laboratory.

Orochimaru suddenly walked into the laboratory with a stern face.

Bai Yu stopped his experiment and asked, "What's wrong, Orochimaru-sensei? What happened?"

"Beluhu has defected."

Orochimaru said in a deep voice.

"Hiruko?" Bai Yu was taken aback when he heard this. This person had a good relationship with the Sannin. He was an ordinary Jonin with no special characteristics. Bai Yu didn't have a deep impression of Hiruko. The only thing that made him stand out was that he was tall and handsome.

What did he do?

Bai Yu asked, thinking that it couldn't be some political event again; an ordinary Jonin shouldn't be involved.

Orochimaru: "He's secretly researching forbidden techniques, attempting to modify his body, and he's even targeting the village's ninjas."

"Body modification?!"

Bai Yu's eyes lit up. Another research-oriented ninja?

"He wants to perfectly fuse multiple bloodline limits into his body to change his mediocre talent, but this is simply impossible," Orochimaru said in a deep voice.

Fusion of the bloodline limit is more difficult than successful transplantation of primary cells.

When multiple bloodlines and cells converge in a ninja's body, it can cause a strong rejection reaction, leading to immediate death.

"Fusing the Bloodline Limit? Did his experiment succeed?"

Bai Yu pressed for details, showing great interest in the matter.

Although with the current level of medical and experimental technology, it is theoretically impossible to successfully fuse multiple bloodline limits, the path he has chosen as a "spirit summoner" involves fusing multiple bloodlines.

However, Bai Yu's fusion is based on the "Divine Tree" bloodline, with other bloodlines as secondary, allowing the "Divine Tree" bloodline to absorb other bloodlines and improve its purity and quality.

To fuse bloodline limits, it would probably be necessary to maintain a balance between bloodline limits.

Otherwise, if one bloodline is too strong, the other bloodlines will not be able to keep up, which will inevitably lead to a situation of devouring.

If they become stronger after absorbing each other, that's fine. But more likely, their bloodline power will weaken after they devour each other.

If Bai Yu didn't have the innate spells "Eye of Truth" and "Super Brain Deduction," the difficulty of cultivating the "Divine Tree" bloodline and the "White Phosphorus Serpent" bloodline would be greatly increased.

"Judging from the samples he left behind, it seems he didn't succeed. However, the experimental data has been destroyed, so I don't know the specifics. The Third Hokage classified him as an S-rank rogue ninja and sent me to pursue him. I'm just letting you know that I might not be back for a while; who knows where he might go?"

Orochimaru's tone was somewhat irritated.

I don't know if it was because he didn't want to hunt down his former friends, or because it delayed his experiment.

"Orochimaru-sensei, how about this, I'll help you complete this task, okay?"

Bai Yu spoke up.

He was very interested in this Hiruko. Regardless of whether his experiment was successful or not, the mere fact that he proposed the idea and took action to achieve it made him a genius.

It's worth going to see.

Perhaps we can gain inspiration from the forbidden techniques developed by Hiruko.

Just then, Bai Yu wanted to go to the mountains of the Grass Country to find medicinal herbs. The white creature he had captured earlier had almost no body tissue left after years of experiments.

The activity of the newly cultured cells gradually decreases, causing the potency of the "Deep Blue Agent" to decline.

Bai Yu hadn't gone back before because he felt the place was eerie.
