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

Chapter 239 The Counterattack Begins, Soul and Body Separated and Shukaku is Sent Off

"This should be the last batch, right? If there are no problems, I'll send a signal to begin the third phase!" In the Konoha shelter, Iruka looked solemnly at the elderly, weak, women, and children behind Anko and asked.

"The third stage?" Konohamaru asked curiously as he ran out to urinate, looking completely bewildered by the current situation.

"Well, according to Konoha's emergency response plan, the situation when the village is invaded by another country is divided into three stages..." Iruka couldn't help but explain, thinking that the outcome of this war was uncertain, which could also be regarded as letting the next generation understand the cruelty of war in advance and change their thinking.

"In the first phase, eliminate the invaders as quickly as possible. If the enemy cannot be defeated quickly, the process will automatically switch to the second phase, where all civilians will be escorted to various shelters."

"Then, we'll concentrate the power of all the village's ninjas to eliminate the enemy. That's the third stage," Anko added with a smile, making Konohamaru and everyone nearby beam with joy.

"So, a major counter-offensive is about to begin!!"

“That’s right.” Iruka nodded again, then quickly walked to the hidden window and released a signal ninja hawk.

"Chirp—"

The next instant, a loud eagle's cry pierced the sky, and the ninjas in Konoha, amidst the smoke and fire, relaxed their expressions and sharpened their gazes.

"Swift Wind, I will avenge you." Before the memorial stone, Anbu member Yugao sadly offered her condolences, put on her mask, and quickly teleported to a nearby street with her Anbu companions.

"You Sound Ninja, we will absolutely not go any further than you!!" Looking at the several Sound Ninja rushing towards them, Yugao's eyes were as cold as knives, and her killing intent soared to the sky.

"Finally, the transfer is over." On the other side, Nara Shikaku, the leader of the Jonin class, exhaled a breath of stale air, and then quickly formed hand seals. A shadow extended from his feet and rapidly connected with several Sand Ninja, causing their expressions to change drastically.

"Then let me show you the secret mountain techniques passed down through generations in Konoha..." At the same time, Yamanaka Inoichi, the head of the analysis class, who was not far away, also formed hand seals and unleashed his power.

"How nostalgic! The long-lost Ino-Shika-Cho trio have reunited at this moment." With a series of thuds, footsteps sounded, and Akimichi Choza, transformed into a giant, wielded an iron rod as he stepped out.

In another corner, Hyuga Hiashi remained unfazed as he faced the dozen or so Sand Ninja who were attacking him. "Remember, the Hyuga is the strongest clan in Konoha."

Almost simultaneously, the major clans such as Inuzuka, Aburame, and Sarutobi, along with Konoha's elite forces, began a well-organized and planned full-scale counterattack...

Meanwhile, more than ten kilometers away from Konoha.

"Gentle Fist Technique: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Heavenly Strikes..." Neji roared, unleashing his strongest attack to clash with the Cloud Village Jonin.

"Tooth through teeth!!" "Operating tool - Double Rising Dragon."

Beside them, Kiba Inuzuka and Tenten simultaneously launched a pincer attack, their target being the other Cloud Village Jonin who had captured Hinata.

Seeing the situation was dire, the Cloud Village Jonin immediately shielded Hinata to the side as a human shield, but the moment he moved, countless flying insects swarmed into his vision, causing him to instinctively retreat several meters. "Secret Technique: Insect Ball..."

Shino appeared in front of Hinata with a whoosh, his hands in his pockets, momentarily unaware of who his opponent was!

On the other side, behind Konoha Mountain.

"Wind Release: Sky Training Bullet..."

"Water Release: Iron Cannon Ball..."

With a deafening roar, the two ninjutsu slashed through the sky once more, colliding violently and creating an artificial rainstorm that left Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Rock Lee speechless!

"Damn it, this is never going to end. Toad Boss, what other powerful ninjutsu do you have? Stop hiding them! I'm going to take him down and avenge everyone!" Above Gamabunta's head, Naruto angrily urged Shukaku across the way.

It's been over ten rounds and they still haven't won. Is Toad Boss even any good...?

"Idiot, even the most powerful ninjutsu is useless without the medium. We have to find the medium and wake him up, so Shukaku will have to go back even if he doesn't want to." Bunta shouted in dissatisfaction, and then jumped up again to draw his forty-meter-long sword from his waist.

If this continues, its chakra isn't as resilient as Shukaku's, so it'll just be a matter of randomly hacking and slashing and hoping for the best!

"Naruto, have your older brother find a way to lure that guy into that forest, and it would be best to restrain it for two seconds to limit its movement." Just as Gamabunta was about to make his move, Ishikawa appeared above its head in a flash and pointed a finger.

"Senior brother! You're not dead! That's great! And Sasuke and Karin too..." Seeing Ishikawa come back to life, Naruto shuddered and grabbed Ishikawa's clothes excitedly.

The violent Nine-Tails chakra on his body faded considerably with the fluctuations in his mood, and the wildness and bloodlust in his pupils dissipated by most!

"Nonsense, with me here, they'll be fine." Ishikawa rolled his eyes at Naruto, then met Gamabunta's toad-like eyes. "Then I'll leave it to you, Boss Toad."

Without giving Bunta and Naruto a chance to react, Ishikawa lightly touched the ground with his feet and teleported away again to make final preparations.

“This brat…” Bunta looked doubtful, but at this moment he had no other more reliable method.

"Let's give it a try! To restrict that guy's movements, we'll need fangs and claws. Naruto, you prepare the combination transformation." Gamabunta shouted, his long sword instantly slicing through the air and forcing Shukaku to leave its spot.

"Here we go, Naruto."

"Huh? So fast??" Naruto was immediately flustered, his mind filled with images of various creatures with sharp teeth and claws.

[That's right, that's the one!!]

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck Naruto, his hands forming hand seals with overwhelming force, "Henshin..."

With a loud bang, white smoke billowed up, obscuring the sky. The next instant, just as Shukaku was filled with suspicion, a nine-tailed fox with orange-yellow fur and nine swaying tails burst out of the white smoke.

[It's that stinky fox, no doubt. I see, no wonder I hate that brat's chakra so much!] Shukaku's pupils contracted as he looked at the familiar figure opposite him, and then he immediately opened his mouth and unleashed Wind Release: Sky Bullet.

Bunta was well aware of this, and the moment he transformed, he flicked his tail and used it to block the attack from the trees.

Quickly approach Shukaku, open its mouth to bite and entangle it, and then lead it to the location Ishikawa designated.

"Now, Karin!" Ishikawa shouted, and eight Karins simultaneously formed hand seals in eight directions.

"Sealing Technique: Separation of Soul and Body..." Ishikawa leaped up, took out a talisman, and activated the spell. A crimson sealing array instantly emerged from the talisman, its light reflecting off the sealing spell beneath Shukaku's feet.

Almost simultaneously, sensing the danger, Bunta immediately deactivated his transformation and jumped away...

"What is this?!" Shukaku, bewildered, was about to leave when he felt his soul being uncontrollably pulled and torn apart by a magic circle, and his expression instantly changed drastically!

[The plan to divide Shukaku has begun.]

Upon seeing this, Ishikawa's lips curled into a slight smile, and he activated the sealing array with all his might to pull Shukaku's soul.

He was determined to try and take a bite of the tailed beast's power to enhance his strength, since it had been delivered right to his doorstep.

Do you think an apology is enough to settle a failed intrusion?

Impossible, absolutely impossible...
