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

Chapter 353 Karin VS Three-Tails, Abnormal Defense

"A turtle monster covered in hard spiky spikes with three tails? It's a tailed beast, that's the Three-Tailed Beast from Kirigakure!!"

"Tailed beast? No way, our border defense force of less than twenty people, Kirigakure has actually deployed a tailed beast??"

"What's impossible? The Three-Tails has already appeared, so saying anything more is pointless! We should think about how to deal with it..."

"That's right. Quick, send a signal to get reinforcements from nearby units. Tailed Beasts are not something we can handle with just our numbers!"

"Reinforcements? Where would we get any strong reinforcements... Ever since the last time the three Konoha ninja defeated the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the village has assessed that this battlefield would degenerate into a small-scale, protracted conflict. Now the main force has withdrawn to other battlefields, and the nearest squads are at most Chunin squads; if they come, they'll just be throwing their lives away."

"Speaking of which, the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist were nearly wiped out by us before, which was also the battle that made the three young ninjas of Konoha famous! Could it be that the Mist Village has mobilized such a large force this time for revenge?"

"Damn it, even if it's revenge, there's no need to use the tailed beasts! They're the village's ultimate weapon, and they won't be sent to the battlefield unless it's the last resort."

On the coastline, the Konoha ninjas stared in terror at the monstrous beast on the sea, their fear reaching its peak, almost causing them to flee at the mere sight of it…

The reason why tailed beasts are called ultimate weapons is because their deterrent power is not just talk! In particular, they can almost crush ninjas below the level of elite Jonin with overwhelming force.

That feeling of utter despair and helplessness is like the despair of a martial arts master facing a nuclear bomb! Even a very small nuclear bomb, once detonated, means certain death!!

"No, the fact that they can use tailed beasts proves that Kirigakure's strength is nearing its limit. Everyone, retreat first and report the information to the village. Leave this to us." Feeling the fearful screams coming from all around him, the young Kakashi gave a resolute look.

Although he wasn't confident he could escape unscathed from facing the Tailed Beasts, he and Rin were currently the strongest here. If they didn't step up, who would?

Perhaps, today is the day he will embody the Will of Fire!

"Give it to you? If it were just a tailed beast, that would be one thing. But there are hundreds of Hidden Mist ninja here. How are you two supposed to fight them?" Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the Uchiha Chunin widened his eyes and gritted his teeth in refusal.

"Lord Kakashi, although we are not as strong as you, we are equally prepared to sacrifice for the village. Leave the Kirigakure to us, and let the ninja dogs deliver the intelligence." Another Chunin from Inuzuka shouted angrily, nodding to his ninja dog companion beside him.

"If the situation turns bad later, Wolf Fang, you leave immediately and send out the intelligence."

"Woof woof..." The fierce ninja dog didn't hesitate. Although its eyes were filled with fear and reluctance, it still responded with a resolute bark.

In the truly brutal battlefield, sometimes leaving is more important than staying!

"They're here." Kakashi was about to say something more when a special jonin shouted, and the surrounding ninjas drew their kunai and rushed forward to meet them.

"Damn Kirigakure, I will never let you hurt my comrades again!" Kakashi gritted his teeth and roared. Thinking of Obito's fate being unknown because of Kirigakure, he immediately forgot his fear and unleashed his full power.

With a crackling sound, almost in the blink of an eye, Kakashi appeared beside Rin as arcs of electricity crackled around him, transforming into a white and blue afterimage.

"Lin, I'll take the lead and you support. But before that, please summon the slug to distract the Three-Tailed Fox!"

“Slug? I understand.” Nohara Rin nodded immediately, then released her palm technique, bit her finger, and formed hand seals.

"Are you going to deal with the Three-Tails?" Seeing Rin and Kakashi on high alert, Uchiha Hikaru paused, her pupils flashing crimson. "If the opponent is a Jinchuriki, perhaps my Sharingan can help."

It was already embarrassing enough to have two teenagers rescue him; he couldn't afford to leave now and embarrass the Uchiha clan.

Although his opponents were all renowned genius Jonin, he was also a genius Uchiha ninja.

"Help? Don't embarrass yourself here! Your Sharingan is not even in the same league as that guy's." On the other side, Suigetsu Hozuki mocked and immediately ordered Kisame Mangetsu to retreat to treat the wound from the Rasengan.

The next battlefield will be the Three-Tails' home turf; if they stay, they'll be sitting ducks!

As for the Hidden Mist subordinates? Having already reached the coastline, they naturally won't be targeted by the Three-Tails. Well, until the Three-Tails goes out of control.

'Water Release: Iron Cannon Bullet.'

As if receiving a signal, just as the three of them, including Suigetsu Hobutsuki, entered the sea, the Three-Tails, hundreds of meters away, suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed out a chakra water bullet with a diameter of twenty meters.

"Spiritual communication..."

In the blink of an eye, almost simultaneously, Nohara Rin completed the hand seals, unleashed nearly half of her chakra, and shouted.

With a loud bang, a slug clone, no smaller than Bunta, appeared out of thin air on the rippling blue sea.

The moment the slug clone appeared, it saw the chakra water bullet shooting towards it from the opposite side. Immediately, its mouth twitched and it opened its mouth to unleash a burst of "Sticky Tongue and Teeth..."

With a "poof," the thick, strong acid liquid slammed directly onto the chakra water bullet, and the intense corrosion instantly melted the chakra water bullet, causing it to fall into the sea and neutralize the impact.

At that moment, "Lightning Release: Chidori!!"

Kakashi let out a low shout, and lightning raged around him, transforming into a bolt of lightning that appeared on the Three-Tails' forehead. His right hand, imbued with extreme lightning, thrust fiercely towards the Three-Tails' left eye.

To be fair, Kakashi's battle instincts are as sharp as ever. In just one exchange, he spotted the only weak point in the Three-Tails' otherwise perfectly defended body.

The idea was good, but reality was cruel.

Just as Kakashi was about to pierce the Three-Tails' left eye, the Three-Tails suddenly closed its eyes in a flash.

With a bang, Kakashi felt as if his right hand had struck steel. The Chidori, which could pierce through rock walls, was blocked by those unassuming eyelids.

"Just tearing off a layer of eyelid? How...how is that possible??"

Staring at the rapidly healing eyelid gap, Kakashi was instantly dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

For the first time, I truly felt the terror of the tailed beasts!

That was his strongest attack, yet it only damaged the Three-Tails' eyelids. And that wasn't what drove him to despair the most; what drove him to despair was that the torn eyelids were rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Roar!!"

Just as Kakashi was in shock, the Three-Tails opened its huge beastly eyes again, coldly staring at Kakashi, the crimson light in its eyes flashing like a shooting star...

[That's... the Sharingan? Impossible! How could there be a hint of the Sharingan in the Three-Tails' eyes? Am I seeing things??]

Kakashi's pupils contracted when he saw that familiar crimson color, but before he could verify it, the Three-Tails' right claw swatted at him like a fly, causing his expression to change drastically.
