It's been 24 years, why am I reincarnated in Konoha without a system?

Chapter 480 Madara Uchiha's Old Tricks, Gaara's Change of Heart

"Hehehe, scared by my power, aren't you! This is a power that only a perfect Jinchūriki can obtain. Kid, you've really gotten a good deal this time..."

"How do you know about this battle mode?" Seeing Ishikawa's shock, Mitsui asked in surprise amidst his smugness.

This pattern is supposedly a secret known only to the tailed beasts.

“The Eight-Tails of Kumogakure, he’s also a perfect Jinchūriki.” Ishikawa casually explained, then looked suspicious, “But Shukaku, the Eight-Tails’ Jinchūriki doesn’t seem to have this kind of state, does he?”

Pure Tailed Beast Chakra Mode – this seems to be a special power possessed only by the protagonist Naruto and Kurama.

At least he didn't think the other eight tailed beasts had this power before; it wasn't like this when he borrowed Shukaku's tailed beast transformation!

"Uh, this..."

Seeing Ishikawa's puzzled expression, Shukaku's smugness froze after less than three seconds, and he gave an awkward laugh.

Ishikawa frowned, about to ask a question, when he suddenly felt his body go empty as Shukaku's chakra rapidly and quietly dissipated. The sudden situation left him momentarily bewildered.

"Well, this state consumes a lot of chakra. Even I can't last more than a few minutes, let alone the Eight-Tails. Besides, that state requires good teamwork. I was just letting you experience it. You still need to train to truly master that mode." Shukaku explained awkwardly, making Ishikawa's lips twitch.

"Can't last a few minutes? I'm afraid you won't even last two minutes, Shukaku."

Even with the Nine-Tails' chakra, it could only last for five minutes at the beginning. How could the Three-Tails, Shukaku, possibly maintain that state for several minutes?

"Ah, this—" Ishikawa mocked her so closely, especially since he had hit the nail on the head!

This infuriated Shukaku. "Stop talking nonsense, brat. You've gone too far... Don't say I'm no good, it's you who's no good."

He shouted in frustration, then immediately withdrew his consciousness and refused to chat privately.

Damn it, has it been too nice to that brat lately? He's become so brazen!

"Heh, who knows about such things..." Ishikawa pursed his lips dismissively, but a slight smile played on his lips.

Shukaku is still as stubborn as ever!

“Well then, it’s time to deal with you.” Ishikawa shifted his gaze, staring at the wailing baby Gaara, whose left eye was bloodshot.

During the C-section just now, his red eyes actually saw an unexpected situation!

“The binding spell, is it that old guy? It seems that because of my existence last time, he set his sights on you when you were still in the womb…” Ishikawa muttered to himself, his brows furrowing as he stared at the spell in Gaara’s heart through his red eyes.

He had previously learned through the Spirit Transformation Technique that Madara had sent Black and White Zetsu to spy on Gaara, so this situation, while somewhat unexpected, was also reasonable.

Madara Uchiha likely used Gaara, the near-One-Tail Jinchuriki, as a pawn, with his aim either for the Eye of the Moon or for the Kara organization he fabricated.

So, what should he do now?

"Looks like you're in luck, Gaara." With his red eyes fully activated, he could see within a two-kilometer radius. Ishikawa suddenly smiled and muttered to himself.

The next instant, the blue and white spirit streaked across the ground like a meteor and fell into the ground. Less than two seconds later, a white Zetsu clone burst out from under Ishikawa's main body.

The moment Ishikawa's spirit returned to its original body, the Spirit Transformation Technique shattered the opponent's soul, turning him into a vegetable.

[Having White Zetsu monitor whether anyone is attacking the One-Tailed Beast, it really was that guy's doing.] Quickly processing the White Zetsu clone's task, Ishikawa nodded to the shadow clone and swiftly plucked the White Zetsu's heart.

The white zeolite, having lost its life, immediately took root in the desert, using its last bit of energy to nourish and grow into a sapling.

As Ishikawa made his move, his shadow clone pierced Gaara's heart, which was afflicted by the Annihilation Curse. In the moment when Gaara was on the verge of death, Ishikawa's main body transplanted the White Zetsu's heart and activated the Palm Healing Technique.

"No, he can't withstand the White Zetsu's heart if he's not from the Uchiha or Senju clans. If this continues, he'll be assimilated and turned into a tree," the shadow clone hurriedly warned, his eyes red. Ishikawa, however, remained unfazed.

"That's why he needs Shukaku's power." He gave the shadow clone a look, and the clone immediately understood and brought over the magical tea cauldron next to it.

Ishikawa took the talisman and tore it open, immediately releasing the chakra of the One-Tailed Shukaku.

However, due to the sealing power inherent in the tea pot, the Yin One-Tail did not emerge directly, but instead transformed into a trickle of chakra fluid...

This change triggered the seal within Gaara's body, which was empowered by the Sand Village, causing it to draw in Shukaku's chakra like a vortex.

The moment the tailed beast chakra entered Gaara's body, he instinctively resisted the erosion of the White Zetsu's heart to protect his Jinchuriki...

"Damn it, you bastard, don't hurt Carol!!"

Just then, Rasa's voice suddenly rang out from hundreds of meters away, causing Ishikawa to turn around.

"They've found us? It's too late, Fourth Kazekage..." Ishikawa calmly smiled as he watched Rasa approach rapidly on a flying disc, tossing down the teapot and forming a hand seal with one hand.

The shadow clone also dissipated at the same time, turning into white smoke. In the instant the white smoke drifted away, Ishikawa's figure had already disappeared!

"Galuru, Galuru, are you alright?"

Less than five seconds later, Luo Sha jumped down and hugged his unconscious wife tightly, shouting anxiously.

Upon seeing that his wife was only unconscious and otherwise unharmed, Rasa turned his gaze to his premature son and the tea cauldron that sealed Shukaku.

"How dare they make our child premature! Who is that guy? What is he trying to do?!" Holding his wife in one arm and manipulating the gold dust with the other, Luo Sha pulled his son to his side and roared angrily.

While feeling angry, Rasa was also puzzled as he watched Shukaku's chakra continuously flowing from the tea cauldron...

The target of the other party's actions is clearly Shukaku, but Shukaku is still inside the teapot. So what is the purpose of the other party's actions?

Just to make his son premature? That can't be!

"Damn it, no matter who you are, I will find you, absolutely!!" Rosa roared and swore, his anger instantly waking the unconscious Karura.

"Our child, our child..."

Karura immediately called out, startling Rasa awake so he could bring his son to his wife. "Don't worry, our son is fine. I'll reinforce the seal now and make him a true Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast."

"Do we really have to do this? Gaara was just born, and just now..." Upon hearing this, Karura subconsciously said and uttered the name he had prepared.

Now that an unexpected situation has arisen, she might still have a chance!

"Gaara?" Looking at his wife, Rasa thought of the situation just now and couldn't help but harden his heart and shake his head slightly. "The sealing has already begun. Now that he has lost the power of the Tailed Beast, he will die!"

"From this day forward, Gaara will be the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast, our Sand Village's secret weapon..."
