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

Chapter 150 The Sandfall Three Siblings Steal the Kills

Two days later, "Ninja Art: Shadow Clone Technique..."

Outside a small town in the Land of Rivers, Karin formed hand seals and her chakra erupted instantly, creating four shadow clones around her with a bang.

As soon as the four shadow clones appeared, they each activated Body Instantaneous Movement and rushed to the four directions of east, west, south, and north to use Kagura's Mind's Eye to expand their perception area.

"As expected of Karin, she learned the Shadow Clone Technique so quickly."

"That's the advantage of having a lot of chakra. We get exhausted after just half a day of training! She can train continuously for a whole day without getting tired."

Tarojiro said with envy, while looking at his older brother Ishikawa with a resentful gaze.

Karin's abilities could have helped them recover their chakra and speed up their training, but Ishikawa, the eldest brother, firmly rejected the suggestion.

"Forget about it! Unless we face a life-or-death crisis or a fatal wound, I will not agree to use Karin's abilities to help us or others recover chakra and injuries." Ishikawa glared at him and warned him repeatedly, then turned his gaze to Karin, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"Don't forget how your mother died! The ability to heal through physical means is essentially draining your life force. I will not use my partner as a medical tool. Karin, I hope you can also stick to your principles and not help people recover indiscriminately. I don't want to see your name engraved on a memorial stone too early."

“Ishikawa-kun…” Hearing Ishikawa’s heartfelt words, Karin’s slight resentment vanished instantly, leaving only the gratitude of being cared for.

She was initially upset that Ishikawa didn't want her to express herself, but she didn't expect that he was the one who genuinely cared about her.

Indeed, physical healing abilities are impressive, but the side effects are also very obvious.

Leaving aside her mother's fate, the fact that she hadn't been exploited and absorbed in the past six months allowed her body to recover rapidly. Not only did her chakra increase quickly, but her figure and appearance also seemed to have grown a year older and developed considerably.

Thinking of this, Karin subconsciously puffed out her small, pointed chest to show that she was in good health.

"Huh? This is..." Suddenly, just as Karin was about to say something in her emotion, the feedback from the shadow clone of the west side made her expression change.

"What, another new discovery?" Ishikawa asked casually upon seeing this, not surprised at all.

These past two days, they've been using Karin to conduct a thorough sensory investigation, checking any chakra reaction from Chunin or higher to see if it's a target for the mission.

Unfortunately, neither of the two ninjas discovered so far is the target, Hashima.

“What evil chakra! Captain, my clone sensed ninjas chasing and fighting 22 kilometers to the northwest. One of them has very strange chakra.” As she said this, a hint of fear flashed in Karin’s eyes. “It felt like facing a monster from hell.”

"A monster??" Ishikawa said subconsciously, a vague sense of unease creeping into his heart.

Taro and Jiro exchanged a glance, feeling a sense of déjà vu about the scene...

Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen to this mission!

"Let's go check it out first. My Red Eye will be observing from two kilometers away. As long as the other party isn't the mission target, we'll retreat." After thinking for a moment, Ishikawa put aside his nagging feelings and said directly.

Two kilometers away, he could lead his team to a safe retreat, no matter who the enemy was. It was the team's first independent mission, and although Ishikawa intended to drag it out, he didn't want to fail.

"Follow me." Seeing that Ishikawa had made up his mind, Karin didn't waste any more words and immediately led the way towards the direction that the shadow clone sensed.

Ishikawa then followed alongside Karin, with Tarojiro close behind...

Meanwhile, twenty kilometers away.

"Damn it, how could there be such a brat! He's just a genin, yet he killed three of my genin subordinates in a single move. If I hadn't been hiding my strength, I probably would have been killed already! So, is he toying with me?" Panting as he dodged another sand attack, Hashima Masamune said with a mixture of anger and fear.

He thought that by disguising himself as a Chunin and keeping his bounty at B-rank, along with three Genin subordinates hiding in the shadows and his own exceptional Jonin strength, he could rest easy. He never expected that the guy who came this time was no ordinary character.

"But don't underestimate me, you brat!" With a hateful grin, Hashifumi quickly retreated, simultaneously forming hand seals. "Earth Release: Earth Waterfall..."

With a final shout and his hands slamming into the ground, the calm ground suddenly churned and roared like ocean waves, and a section of earth and rocks about twenty meters wide surged and crashed down like a mudslide.

"This is an A-rank ninjutsu that I, Hashimama, have used to dominate the world! Die, brat..."

"Is that all? Is this all the value you have?" Faced with Qiao Fujian's clamor, the red-haired youth remained unmoved by the surging mudslide, even showing some disappointment.

The next second, the red-haired boy suddenly clasped his hands together, looking bored. "Forget it, I've had enough!"

'Flowing Sand Waterfall...'

Almost simultaneously, a thick, raging sandstorm, about a hundred meters wide, surged forth from beneath the boy's feet, instantly crushing the mudslide opposite. Before the stunned, terrified eyes of Qiao Fujian, a sand hand materialized in the sandstorm and reached out to grab him.

"Damn it!!" Hashimama screamed in terror, his chakra bursting as he tried to escape, but he realized that his feet were already entangled in sand and he couldn't move.

"What?! When?!"

"Hmph, of course, while you're still reeling from the quicksand waterfall." The painted puppet man opposite him sneered as he explained, then turned to warn, "Gaara, don't be too violent and crush him! When we submit the mission, we at least need to bring back his head."

"You're talking too much nonsense, Kankuro." The red-haired boy's tone was icy and his eyes were bloodthirsty, causing the smug man in the paint to immediately shut up and shrink his neck, no longer speaking.

However, despite what he said, the sand that had wrapped around Hashimama's body only covered the area below his neck. Amidst Hashimama's terrified and resentful expression, the red-haired boy's indifferent voice rang out again.

"Sand Binding..."

"Phew... that's all right, Temari." Seeing this, the man with the oil paint breathed a sigh of relief and said to the blonde girl next to him.

As long as the head remains, submitting the mission won't be affected at all, even if the body is crushed by sand.

In the blink of an eye, just as the sand was about to crush Hashifuma's body, a bolt of lightning appeared with lightning speed.

Like lightning, the white blade flashed across Qiao Fujian's neck as easily as slicing vegetables or cutting melons, instantly taking his head and sending him retreating dozens of meters.

"Sorry, he's our target." Looking at the Sandfall siblings opposite him, whose expressions were gloomy and ready to explode at any moment, Ishikawa sheathed his white fang longsword and smiled helplessly.

If he could, he wouldn't want to face the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, but Gaara's opponent is his mission target!

Sure enough, his luck remained the same...
