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

Chapter 529 Battle against Jigen, Strategic Retreat

"Jigen, you can call me by that name, a Jonin of Konoha." Jigen stared at Ishikawa with an indifferent expression, his eyes as calm as still water.

He then slightly raised his head, his gaze cold and his expression naturally commanding, "Hand over that child, or even if you're a Jinchūriki, you won't be leaving here today!"

"Oh? You've figured out who I am?" Ishikawa smiled slightly, not caring. "But that child is from Konoha. You don't seem to have the right to order us around."

At this point, Ishikawa's eyes sharpened, his gaze becoming piercing. "Finding the missing child and the mastermind behind it all is an A-rank mission assigned to us by the Fourth Hokage. Since Lord Jigen is so protective of Amegakure, can I assume that you are the mastermind behind this?"

Unfazed, under Sasuke's astonished gaze, Ishikawa, his left eye bloodshot, uttered a startling statement: "Perhaps today, we will be the ones to capture you."

As he spoke, Ishikawa's body was enveloped in a yellowish-brown chakra cloak, and he unleashed his power, activating Shukaku Chakra Mode to the astonishment of Sasuke and Jigen!

At this point, we can't back down, no matter how difficult it is. Since we've encountered this situation, let's take this opportunity to test Cixian's bottom line.

"Senior brother..." Sasuke murmured with a complicated expression as he looked at Ishikawa, struggling to his feet and refusing to back down.

That's right, he was careless just now!

Now that we have our senior brother, the perfect Jinchūriki, by our side, and with his strength making them arguably the strongest duo in Konoha, how can we let our opponents underestimate us?

"Be careful of their speed and strength, they're very strong!!" Sasuke whispered a warning, his body crackling with lightning as he activated his Lightning Release Armor to its maximum, while his Mangekyou Sharingan fixed intently on his opponent.

He absolutely would not allow the sneak attack to happen again.

"Jinchūriki and the Mangekyou Sharingan? Foolish fellow, do you think that's absolute power..." With a cold snort of disdain, Jigen narrowed his eyes and suddenly waved his hand.

"coming!"

Sasuke gave a warning, but before the other party could wave his hand, he sensed it and moved away from his spot like lightning.

"Bang bang bang..."

Almost the instant Sasuke left his spot, several black chakra rods appeared out of thin air and were pinned to the ground, causing Sasuke's pupils to shrink and his face to shrink in horror.

Yin-Yang Release Black Rod?

How could this be? The opponent is neither an Uchiha nor a Senju, how could they possess such power?!

Could it be that this guy also obtained the Six Paths Technique?

"Magnetic Release Rasengan."

Meanwhile, Ishikawa, who had activated his Red Eyes throughout and left immediately, flashed and unleashed a Rasengan infused with Shukaku's Magnet Release, slamming it directly into Jigen's back.

The Magnet Release: Rasengan, three meters in diameter, resembled a giant Rasengan and instantly enveloped and submerged Jigen behind him...

With a loud bang, the Rasengan exploded on the spot under Yahiko and Konan's worried gaze, directly creating a spider-shaped crater that stretched for several meters.

"Did they take him down?" Sasuke's eyes widened as his Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly, searching everywhere. And at that very moment...

"Sorry, not yet." Suddenly, Jigen's voice rang out in his ear, and before Sasuke could react, he was slapped and sent flying.

As he was sent flying backward, several black chakra rods suddenly appeared, piercing through his limbs, causing Sasuke's face to change drastically and blood to spurt out...

This sudden, light-speed attack completely stunned Sasuke!

No, is this guy crazy?!

Why did his senior brother, who was closest to him, suddenly come all the way to beat him up instead of coming closer?

Moreover, its speed remained as fast as ever, so fast that even his Mangekyou Sharingan couldn't see the trajectory and defend in time.

"Prioritizing the removal of the Uchiha's Sharingan is a standard battle strategy! Isn't that right, Lord Jigen?" Ishikawa feigned composure, his left eye flashing crimson as if he knew everything. "However, sealing your taijutsu is also quite simple."

As he spoke, Ishikawa rapidly formed hand seals with his right eye and activated a ninjutsu, "Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique..."

"Too slow!" Jigen shouted, appearing like a ghost in front of Ishikawa's chest in the blink of an eye, and kicked out, "Whoosh—"

In the blink of an eye, Ishikawa smiled brightly and suddenly disappeared, causing Jigen's attack to miss its target.

"Did it fly away? The Fourth Hokage's Yellow Flash space-time ninjutsu..."

Jigen frowned slightly, his eyes flashing, as he looked at the spot where Ishikawa had suddenly disappeared. This was a troublesome ability.

In other words, if the other party wants to leave, he absolutely cannot stop them!

No, it's not that he couldn't stop it, but rather that the price to pay was too high for this body to bear.

"You little raccoon who ran away, do you think you can make me lose my advantage in physical combat?" Looking at the super fog that was so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face in the blink of an eye, Cixian's eyes turned cold and his voice became chilling.

Although that state might shorten the lifespan of this body, his pride wouldn't allow the other party to keep jumping around in front of him like that!

The next instant, a black wedge mark suddenly appeared on the chest of Cixian, a pale-faced man in a feathered robe, with straight black lines instantly piercing through his body and connecting to his limbs and the corners of his eyes...

"This boring game should end!"

With a single wave of his hand, a black chakra rod appeared in his grasp. Jigen's gaze sharpened like a knife, and his aura surged forth. A terrifying chakra pressure, mixed with rain, swept outwards like a violent storm...

But the moment he blew away the thick fog, he unleashed "Fire Release: Kagutsuchi".

Suddenly, blood and tears flowed from Sasuke's eyes as his eye technique erupted. The half of Susanoo standing in the thick fog flipped open, and Amaterasu arrows shot out like a machine gun.

"Haven't you learned your lesson yet? You fool..."

With a disdainful snort, Cixian wielded his black staff, directly deflecting most of the Heavenly Illumination Arrows. His figure moved like a ghost, once again breaking through Susanoo and arriving in front of Sasuke.

In the blink of an eye, just as Jigen was about to strike with his black staff, "Sage Art: Magnet Release: Rasengan..."

Suddenly, Ishikawa appeared beside Sasuke, activated the Sage's Curse Seal to enter Sage Mode, and launched a swift attack, causing Jigen, who was standing close by, to change his expression.

The next instant, just as Sasuke was overjoyed, thinking his senior brother was about to succeed, Jigen's body suddenly shrank to a tiny inch.

"What?!" Sasuke was dumbfounded when he saw Jigen in this state, and instantly understood why Jigen had suddenly disappeared and moved so quickly earlier.

The opponent, who is already a master of physical skills, can exert speed and explosive power far beyond normal by taking advantage of his shrunken body, making him even more difficult to detect!

"boom--"

Under Sasuke's horrified and scalp-tingling gaze, the shrunken Jigen casually stood on his shoulder, dodging the attack, and then stomped on him so hard that his collarbone and even shoulder bones shattered and collapsed...

"Is this all you've got? Lord Jigen, we'll meet again." With his red eyes wide open, Ishikawa stared at the shrunken Jigen leaping through the air, uttered a harsh threat, and then flew away with Sasuke.

We can't continue like this; if we keep testing the waters, things will get out of hand!

Sasuke, in particular, has been seriously injured and needs medical attention.

Since his strength has already been demonstrated, I believe that with Jigen's confidence, he won't go to Konoha to snatch anyone away.

After all, what was carved was just a white wedge, and Chaomen was still young. The other party could have waited a few more years for Konoha to raise him before taking him away.

And this is exactly the result Ishikawa wanted!
