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

Chapter 230 Snake Aunt Appears, Konoha in Chaos

"He actually managed to summon a summoning beast of this caliber to take Shukaku away? That brat seems even more capable than I imagined. It's a real shame we won't be able to witness the beautiful spectacle of Shukaku destroying Konoha..."

"Disappointed? Orochimaru." The Third Hokage shouted sharply upon hearing this, his eyes also flashing with surprise. "See? This is the power of your comrades that exceeded your plans. At this moment, I am not the only ninja protecting Konoha."

"That's how I taught you, but you cruelly abandoned it and chose to degenerate..."

"Degeneration?" Orochimaru's lips curled into a mocking smile as he chuckled, then ripped off his disguise to reveal a young woman's face with a wicked glint in his eyes. "Only a short life is bound by such boring worldly constraints! Old man, now you should understand, ahahahaha..."

"This... could it be that you've already..."

"That's right, it's that one. The immortality technique that I've spent years developing!" Orochimaru laughed and nodded, his eyes full of amusement. "Your so-called bonds are worthless in the face of immortality."

"Orochimaru, you bastard..." Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage's expression changed again, and not only him, but also the Anbu outside the Four Purple Flame Formation and Genma Raido were equally horrified and incredulous.

Immortality? How is that even possible?

Meanwhile, in the audience seats.

"Sasuke, Karin." Seeing that he couldn't escape, Kakashi immediately turned around with a solemn expression. "You heard what Ishikawa just said! Now I'm issuing you an A-rank mission: organize your own forces to cooperate with Ishikawa in stopping Gaara."

"Yes, Kakashi-sensei." Karin, who had been wanting to go after him for a while, immediately agreed, nodded to Sasuke, and turned to find Rock Lee.

For Ishikawa's safety, she has a responsibility and obligation to wake up and heal Lee, whose Eight Gates Released power is comparable to that of a Jonin.

She had to help Ishikawa obtain this power.

Sasuke nodded without saying a word, and was about to go find Naruto when he suddenly glanced at Shikamaru lying dead beside him. Thinking of this guy's super high intelligence, Sasuke immediately kicked him, his eyes flashing blood-red. "Stop pretending, your chakra flow is perfectly normal, come with me now."

Before Shikamaru could react, Sasuke urged him on and quickly left.

"Oh dear, why did this trouble have to happen to me!" Shikamaru lamented when he realized he'd been caught pretending to be dead, and quickly followed after them.

Since it was an A-rank mission issued by Kakashi, it would be unreasonable for him to pretend to be dead and refuse to comply! As a Konoha ninja, being cowardly and afraid of death at this time would lead to being punished later.

Moreover, Nara Shikamaru also possesses his own Will of Fire.

"Damn it, go stop them!" On the other side, Maki, who was fighting Neji, shouted immediately upon seeing this and quickly broke away to help Temari Kankuro retreat and pursue them.

Just as Neji and his two companions were about to surround and kill Maki, several Sound Ninja approached. Without hesitation, Maki vanished in a flash, chasing after Gaara.

"You stay here, I'll go help." Neji shouted as he quickly killed two Sound Ninja, activating his Byakugan to see through their movements and give chase.

At that very moment, a senior member of the main branch of the clan suddenly appeared from the side, looking anxious. "Quick, go and rescue Hinata! She was just kidnapped by the Cloud Village ninjas in the chaos!"

"Kumakuna!!" Neji didn't want to get involved, but upon hearing that it was a Kumogakure ninja who indirectly caused his father's death, his eyes immediately flashed with murderous intent.

However, compared to the eldest daughter of the main branch of the family, Neji was more inclined to support Ishikawa. After all, there would be plenty of opportunities to kill Kumogakure ninja later, but if something happened to his close friend Ishikawa, there would be no future...

"Go quickly! Protecting the main family is the responsibility of your branch families. If you don't want me to activate the Caged Bird Seal, go and rescue Hinata now." Seeing that Neji seemed about to refuse, the main family elder hurriedly formed a hand seal and urged him sternly.

In an instant, Neji's killing intent was almost uncontrollable, and the anger in his heart surged to his head, his fists brimming with superhuman strength, ready to unleash their fury.

"Neji, go save Hinata first. We're here in Ishikawa, so there won't be any problems for now." Just as Neji was about to make his move, Lee's voice suddenly rang out, causing him to freeze in his tracks!

"Little Lee, your leg??" Neji asked in surprise as he looked at Little Lee, who was moving normally.

"Karin helped me heal, but now is not the time to talk about that. Anyway, we'll be going now..." Lee said succinctly. Karin nodded to Neji and immediately joined Naruto, Sasuke, and Shikamaru to chase after Shukaku.

"I understand, Elder Neji." Neji hesitated for half a second, then finally sighed and turned to find someone to help him rescue Hinata.

Behind what the elders of the main family couldn't see, the killing intent in Neji's eyes was almost tangible...

An elder of the Zong family? Ha! No one would really care if a member of the Zong family died in this chaotic accident.

Almost simultaneously with everyone else taking their own actions, Nohara Rin was also on her side.

"Sister Hana-ling, I am a friend of Ishikawa and have no ill intentions towards Konoha. If you insist on following me, then come on!" Seeing the Chunin Tournament descend into chaos, and with a three-headed giant snake invading Konoha from the east of the village, Nohara Rin's pretty face was frosty and her heart was burning with anxiety.

Ishikawa's house is located in the southeast of the village, not far from the location of the three-headed serpent. If the three-headed serpent is attacked by Konoha ninjas and changes direction, or if it casually flicks its tail, the dimensional room will be in danger!

"No ill will towards Konoha? Do you think I'd believe you if you said you had no ill will under these circumstances?" Hua Ling exclaimed in surprise, but she didn't immediately pursue them.

She is not currently a Konoha ninja, and taking rash action in this chaos could easily arouse suspicion from Konoha, and could even cause misunderstandings and bring trouble to Kakashi.

Thinking of this, Hua Ling didn't linger any longer and immediately ran to Kakashi to explain the situation and let him make a decision.

"Bang...bang bang..."

Quickly arriving at the audience seats where Kakashi was, Hana could see from afar two flashing blades in the air, as well as the afterglow of electric arcs lingering in the air...

The dire situation of the battle made Hana hesitate to approach Kakashi.

"Hua Ling, what brings you here?" With a whoosh, Hua Ling was still observing when a green afterimage flashed by and Might Guy appeared instantly.

As Kakashi's close friend, Might Guy had seen Hana Rin once or twice, but of course, we won't go into how many untold tears were shed during those encounters...

"Who is that person??" Upon seeing Kai, Hana immediately pointed at Kakashi's opponent and asked suspiciously.

That person looks so familiar; I feel like I've seen them somewhere before!

"He is Sakumo Hatake-senpai, and also Kakashi's father." A hint of reminiscence flashed in Might Guy's eyes, followed by a sigh and a complex tone.

If it weren't for this person, he would have already gone up and fought alongside Kakashi!

"What?!" Hua Ling trembled upon hearing this, quickly realizing where she had seen this figure before.

She had seen a photo of White Fang and young Kakashi in a group photo at Kakashi's house.

"Father..."
