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

Chapter 266 Fusing the Corpse Bone Pulse, Tsunade's Resolve

Night, a time-traveling room.

"Finally, the IV drip is finished! This kind of intense feeling is something most people can't experience. Let me see what changes 500cc of the Corpse Bone Vein blood will bring to me." Watching the last drop of blood enter his body, Ishikawa immediately pulled out the needle, stood up, and reached for the doorknob.

Since Karin wasn't around, and he had nothing better to do, he decided to sneak back and try out Kimimaro's blood fusion.

If it works well, then draw a few more bags before trapping Orochimaru.

"Crack..."

As the familiar electric current spread through his limbs and capillaries, Ishikawa felt the discomfort and pain in his blood vessels quickly subside, his blood surge, and all 206 bones in his body undergo a qualitative change as his blood boiled...

Even though his whole body was numb and he could only observe through red eyes, Ishikawa could clearly feel the strengthening of his bones.

As the bones undergo transformation, the body's flesh and blood also react, and the physique is refined and strengthened...

"Is this the invincible Corpse Bone Pulse technique in close combat? My physique has probably doubled, my muscles are incredibly defined, and my eight-pack abs are clearly visible. Moreover, I seem to have grown five centimeters taller." Two minutes later, Ishikawa did a somersault and marveled at the changes in his body.

However, there was one worrying aspect: Ishikawa seemed to possess a faint, almost bloodthirsty urge, like someone wanting to tear a tiger or leopard apart. Even though it was only a trace, Ishikawa still sensed it!

No wonder the Kaguya clan are all brainless brutes. Just from the bag of Shikotsumyaku blood he fused with, he's already shown this kind of change. If he continues to inject, Ishikawa can't even imagine what kind of muscle-bound, brainless man he'll become.

"Furthermore, I haven't awakened the Corpse Bone Pulse, so I can't test the strength of my bones..." Despite repeatedly activating his chakra, Ishikawa couldn't see any changes in the bones throughout his body, and he couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

It's a bit of a shame, but not unacceptable. While the bone-burst attack from within seemed powerful, it didn't offer much help to Ishikawa.

With the Lightning Release Armor, developing the Chidori Stream later would be far more cool and stylish than turning into a bone spike monster...

"Fine, that's fine!" Seeing the items belonging to the Third Shinobi World War disappear and the connection broken, Ishikawa didn't summon White Zetsu and quietly left, taking the opportunity to test his current physical abilities.

Rushing out of Konoha, Ishikawa unleashed his Lightning Release armor once more, transforming into a blue lightning bolt that crashed through the depths of the forest...

The next day, Tanba Street.

"Heh! I didn't expect you to come looking for me ahead of time, Tsunade." Outside a room on the outskirts of the castle, Orochimaru looked at the uninvited Tsunade and the red-haired ANBU beside her with a look of surprise.

Was the ability of that ANBU member the reason we were able to find him directly in Tanabata Street?

"Karin Uzumaki..."

With his eyes greedily fixed on the red-haired ANBU girl, Orochimaru immediately revealed her identity.

"Don't look at my disciple with those disgusting eyes, Orochimaru." Tsunade stepped forward, blocking Karin's path, and glared at her coldly. "Tell me, Orochimaru. What will you do to Konoha if I heal you?"

"Oh? It seems you haven't made up your mind yet, Tsunade," Orochimaru said with interest, though he secretly harbored doubts.

She actually took Karin as her disciple. Does Tsunade even have that kind of ability now?

A guy who's terrified and powerless at the sight of blood, is he even qualified to teach disciples? Especially a medical ninja??

"Although I really want to lie and say that I will spare Konoha, I can't lie to my old friend." Orochimaru said calmly, a sinister smile playing on his lips. "So, I will continue to complete the unfinished plan to destroy Konoha."

"Konoha will be utterly destroyed by me..."

Tsunade's pupils contracted and her face turned pale upon hearing this. "Just as I thought, just like Jiraiya said!"

"Master." Seeing Tsunade's pale face, Karin said instinctively with concern.

She was secretly worried about what would happen next, and wondered if Ishikawa had seen her message.

"So, have you decided now? As long as you heal my hands, I'll not only revive those two people, but I'll also spare your newly accepted disciple." Orochimaru licked his lips, threatening and enticing, completely disregarding whether he, having lost both hands, was a match for Tsunade.

"Broken, Nawaki, I really miss you all..." Tsunade lost her composure again upon hearing this, and tears fell to the ground like pearls from a broken string.

"Yes, that's it. I will grant you all your requests, as long as you heal my hands." Orochimaru smiled confidently and stepped forward without any guard.

Meanwhile, Tsunade, seemingly also swayed by her emotions, staggered forward, her hands igniting with green fluorescence.

"Master..." Karin murmured in surprise upon seeing this, and immediately drew her kunai to stop him.

But Kabuto, who was watching her intently, was not to be outdone. He drew his kunai and stared intently at her, ready to strike.

"Damn it, Master, what are you trying to do? If you betray Konoha, then I won't acknowledge this master-disciple relationship anymore!" Karin said, exasperated.

Although Tsunade's legacy is tempting, she wouldn't betray Konoha for it. Because betraying Konoha is betraying Ishikawa-kun, something she absolutely cannot accept.

"boom!!"

Just as Karin was getting emotional and couldn't help but make a move, Kabuto Yakushi's expression suddenly changed and he shot out a kunai.

Karin instinctively tried to block, but the kunai swept past her and went straight for Tsunade!

"What?!"

Seeing this, Karin was completely bewildered and hadn't even reacted when Tsunade casually and precisely flicked the handle of the kunai with her finger, sending it flying.

The next instant, "Boom!"

Karin heard a deafening roar as the earth cracked open, and Orochimaru was sent flying by a powerful punch, dragging him through a deep trench!

Almost simultaneously, Tsunade slowly raised her tear-streaked face, "I really want to see them, I really want to..."

"But I am even more certain that such a meeting would only add to the pain, and they would not want to see me like that."

"So Orochimaru, I will kill you here! For Sarutobi-sensei, and for all the innocent people who died..."

"I don't want Konoha to experience the cruelty of war again."

In the end, Tsunade practically roared, flung her green robes aside, her hair standing on end in a rage, and charged straight at Orochimaru.

"Oh no!!" Kabuto's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. He immediately disregarded everything and stood in front of Orochimaru, drawing his kunai and bringing his sword down once more.

Now, only the method Orochimaru mentioned can suppress the opponent!

The next instant, a splash of bright red blood shot from Yakushi Kabuto's arm into the air, blooming like vibrant flowers...
