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

Chapter 38 A Blow of Shame, A Forced Kiss of Tsunade

"Heh heh, it's finally going to end!"

"I never expected that we would lose two people this time, and even our boss is seriously injured. It's a really heavy loss..."

Opposite Lei Ying, the last two members of the Xuanyuan Clan, who had been preparing to retreat due to the unfavorable situation, looked on with madness at the sudden turn of events.

Although the loss was quite significant, the thought of the upcoming gains made them tremble with excitement.

The mission reward goes without saying; the heads of Raikage and Tsunade, two heavyweights, are worth a fortune in the underground gold exchange! And, of course, there's Kakashi's head and that Sharingan!!

"Raikage, are you going to hand over the scroll or do we have to do it ourselves?" One of the Raikages took a step back and shouted at the one who looked like he could explode at any moment.

"Don't go through all that trouble, I'll just use my clone to search you directly," the other person said directly, forming hand seals to activate his clone and avoid any unforeseen complications!

"This is troublesome. The Raikage is already incapacitated. Once they're free, they'll deal with us. Even with Shizune's help, you won't stand a chance against two members of the Xuanyuan Clan." Looking at the situation, Kakashi took a deep breath, his eyes solemn. "Ishikawa, take this opportunity—the three of you and Shizune, and leave with Lady Tsunade. Don't make futile resistance. I'll hold them off and buy you time..."

"Buy time? Teacher, you can only use one ninjutsu at most. How can you stop them? If we spread our strength like this, we will still die in the end!" Ishikawa shook his head and smiled bitterly, not holding any hope.

The other side isn't stupid. Kakashi is about to explode, why would they risk their lives for nothing!

"No, they want to take my Sharingan. So, I can launch two attacks." Kakashi said, forcing himself to stand up, looking confident and resolute.

"Could it be that you're going to..." Ishikawa's heart skipped a beat and his eyes widened as he looked at Kakashi's resolute eyes.

“That’s right, I will use self-destruction as my second attack method. When they are taking the Sharingan, I will launch a suicide attack to kill at least one person.”

"Teacher!!" Even though he had already guessed it, Ishikawa's heart still skipped a beat when Kakashi actually said those words.

No one can remain indifferent to someone who risks their life to protect them! Ishikawa is no exception!!

For the first time, Ishikawa was deeply moved by this life-or-death bond of mutual trust...

"Kakashi-sensei..."

"Kakashi, you..."

Tarojiro and Shizune also changed color at the same time, both looking at Kakashi with grim expressions, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

The one who had experienced a lot of silence was a little better, but the two younger brothers were already in tears!

"I understand, Kakashi." Despite her reluctance, reason prevailed over emotion. Shizune took a deep look at her once-unrivaled genius classmate, tears welling in her eyes, and nodded in agreement.

She might have a chance to kill the two opponents if she participated in the battle, but Kakashi would still be doomed!

It wouldn't be worth it for her to take any more risks in this situation! She still needs to deal with the exploding bugs inside Tsunade, Ishikawa, and the other two; it's obvious which is more important.

Even after doing all that, she still couldn't escape death! After all, no one could perform surgery to remove the bursting worms from her.

This is probably the moment for her to demonstrate her value!

"call……"

Looking at the sorrowful faces of the crowd, Ishikawa suddenly exhaled a breath of stale air and made a decision. "I'm sorry, teacher. Your arrangement involves too much sacrifice and is very risky; there's no guarantee that we'll escape unscathed."

Kakashi was about to reprimand Ishikawa when Ishikawa raised his hand to interrupt him, "Now that things have come to this, we can only try that desperate measure! Perhaps it can change the situation and save all of us from dying."

"What? You have a battle plan?!"

"How is that possible? Unless you can kill a Jonin, there's no way you can deal with them in this situation."

Kakashi and Shizune exclaimed in surprise, completely disbelieving that Ishikawa was capable of turning the tide.

"Hehehe, you're right, what can that kid do?"

"That's right. Your future is only death!!"

Almost simultaneously, the two who had found the ninja scroll on the Raikage sneered disdainfully.

As they spoke, the two men smiled sinisterly, drew their kunai, and unleashed a fierce attack...

"There's no time to explain. Go and stop them to buy me some time." Without hesitation, Ishikawa urged Shizune and his two underlings to quickly retreat and create distance while holding Tsunade in his arms.

"Trust your brother, let's give it our all!"

The two underlings exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, they both formed hand seals and unleashed all their chakra.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique..."

"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves..."

With two loud booms, a blazing fireball and a stream of water were launched simultaneously.

With Shizune and Kakashi speechless, the two incompatible ninjutsu clashed instantly, generating a large amount of water vapor that enveloped the area in front of them...

And then, uh, that's it!

"Hahaha, this is hilarious. Don't these two idiots know that water and fire don't mix? They're canceling out their own ninjutsu—what the hell is that supposed to do?!"

"Heh! It's not entirely ineffective; at least the mist obscures our vision and barely hinders our progress. Although, only a little..."

Amidst the misty air, two unrestrained, arrogant laughs erupted, causing Taro and Jiro to exchange bewildered glances.

How embarrassing! I was so focused on supporting my brother that I completely forgot about this!

"Kakashi, is this your student?" Shizune was speechless, never expecting that the disciple of the genius Kakashi would be such an idiot.

"Ahem, actually, Ishikawa is my most prized disciple," Kakashi hurriedly explained, exasperated. He really didn't want to look at either of them.

It's so shameful to waste such precious chakra at such an important moment...

"Ishikawa?" Shizune subconsciously turned her head to look, but that one glance made her freeze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Seeing Shizune's astonished expression, Kakashi frowned and turned his head slightly. The result:

"I apologize for my intrusion, Lady Tsunade. But right now, I have no other choice but to use this method, which might be effective." Ishikawa looked at Tsunade's beautiful face, which was already teary-eyed and dazed, and with a heavy heart, he opened his mouth and kissed her.

"Well……"

In an instant, Tsunade, who was still trembling with grief, suddenly shuddered, and her beautiful brown eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the black-haired boy she was in close proximity to.

[How dare he! How could he...]

":(??): He...he forcibly kissed me!!"

"Damn it! Is this your plan? You brat, are you sure you're not trying to take advantage of me??"

Almost simultaneously, Silent Kakashi broke down and screamed in embarrassment, his eyes blazing with undisguised fury!

Kakashi, in particular, felt utterly humiliated, having lost face in the entire ninja world! The thought of calling Ishikawa his prized student burned with embarrassment!

No, I'm going to self-destruct! I'll take that shameless brat with me...
