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

Chapter 210 Kakashi vs. Orochimaru, the Butterfly Effect

"As expected, he's afraid of that eye too..." Sasuke smiled and felt a surge of satisfaction as he saw Orochimaru, who had been manipulating him, show fear on his face.

Although the Mangekyou Sharingan wasn't his own power, it was undeniably the power of the Uchiha clan. This filled Sasuke with pride and gave him a clearer understanding of his future.

If he follows Kakashi-sensei, he'll also have those eyes!!

"To actually awaken the Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan with the bloodline of an outsider, Kakashi, you really are a super genius. No wonder you dare to be so arrogant in front of me, is it because of the special eye technique residing in that eye..." Orochimaru licked his lips to calm himself down, but his eyes subtly avoided the gaze of the Mangekyou Sharingan as he probed.

Itachi's left eye, the Mangekyou Sharingan, possesses the strongest genjutsu, Tsukuyomi. What about Kakashi?

If it's a similar eye technique, then Kakashi's threat level will be maximized. In that case, this variable will deal a fatal blow to his plan to destroy Konoha.

Moreover, even if it weren't for a genjutsu like Tsukuyomi, given the Mangekyou Sharingan's ability to counter tailed beasts, Shukaku might not appear as planned.

This is troublesome; I never expected things to take this turn!

However, a stroke of luck allowed him to see Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan before he could make his plan, giving him a chance to salvage the situation.

"Orochimaru, do you think this ridiculous test is necessary?" Kakashi's gaze swept over Orochimaru's head with a deep look, his left eye locking onto Orochimaru's head meaningfully.

Now, if he wanted to, he could easily unleash his divine power and behead Orochimaru on the spot!

But Orochimaru is too dangerous; he's unsure if his eye technique can kill his enemy in one strike. If something unexpected happens and Orochimaru becomes prepared, the consequences could be unimaginable.

Rather than revealing the Kamui eye technique now, it's better to intimidate the opponent first and make them willingly give up Sasuke, ensuring a smooth passage through the Chunin Exams...

"So, you want to negotiate with me too, Kakashi?" Seeing that Kakashi didn't intend to make a move, Orochimaru couldn't help but sigh knowingly.

First it was Kakashi's disciple, Mitarashi Ishikawa, and now it's Kakashi again. Ishikawa is fine, he poses no threat to him; it's just a ploy!

But Kakashi is a real threat.

For so many years, since Itachi Uchiha, another junior has dared to defecate on his head. He tried his best for half his life, but in the end, he was still intimidated and threatened by a mere Mangekyou Sharingan!

The Mangekyou Sharingan—it's all because of the Mangekyou Sharingan. He'll stop at nothing to obtain the power of the Uchiha clan.

"Conditions aside! But Sasuke and Konoha are people I cherish. If you intend to harm them, don't blame me for being impolite." Kakashi locked his gaze on Kamui, ready to unleash his power, as a surge of blue chakra erupted, showcasing his Kage-level strength.

"So confident, Kakashi?" Orochimaru, not to be outdone, unleashed a burst of purple chakra to counter him. The two Kage-level auras surged in the empty chamber, making Sasuke's eyes burn with both fervor and dread.

Is this Kakashi-sensei's true strength? Even the Third Hokage is probably only this strong. If he had this kind of power, he could definitely have taken his revenge!

"Then, we will meet again." Without refusing or agreeing, just as Kakashi was about to make a move, Orochimaru suddenly lost all his momentum and his body slowly sank into the ground.

Kakashi didn't make a move, but silently watched Orochimaru leave. When Orochimaru used Earth Release, that body was probably already a substitute.

He also wanted to try and see if he could intimidate Orochimaru and make him give up those unrealistic fantasies.

As long as the Kamui eye technique remains undiscovered, no matter what Orochimaru intends to do, he is confident that he can give Orochimaru a surprise when he actually makes his move!

"Let's go, Sasuke. Let's go to the exam hall..." Kakashi pulled down his headband to cover his left eye and smiled lazily as always, showing no nervousness in front of Orochimaru.

"Yes, Kakashi-sensei." Sasuke nodded emphatically, acknowledging Kakashi's status as his teacher for the first time.

This person was someone who risked their life for him, and a guiding light on his path to future growth. What reason did he have not to respect such a teacher!

Watching Kakashi's retreating figure, and thinking of his senior Ishikawa, Naruto, and Sakura, Sasuke's lips suddenly curled into a smile, as if he had found something...

"How could he be so confident that he could kill me? What kind of eye technique has that eye awakened?" On the outskirts of the tower, Orochimaru, who had reappeared, had a gloomy look in his eyes, which were filled with rage.

Just now, he sensed the signs that Kakashi was about to unleash his power!

Without absolute confidence, Kakashi shouldn't have acted so directly there, given his personality. So, what exactly was it?

"Lord Orochimaru, this is the information I've gathered about Konoha." Just as Orochimaru was deep in thought, Kabuto Yakushi emerged from the shadows and handed over three cards.

"Ishikawa, Karin, Sasuke, is that all? Kakashi, how much information have you gathered about Hatake Kakashi?" Orochimaru asked coldly after glancing at the three cards.

"Kakashi?" Kabuto Yakushi was slightly taken aback. Wasn't it common knowledge in the ninja world that Kakashi was the Copy Ninja with the Sharingan? What information could be gathered about him?

"Kabuto, you have disappointed me greatly!" Seeing the astonished look in Kabuto's eyes, Orochimaru instantly realized that he knew nothing about Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan.

The Mangekyou Sharingan is one thing, since Kakashi wouldn't reveal such a trump card unless absolutely necessary. But Kakashi has already surpassed the limits of a Jonin and possesses the strength of a Kage, and Kabuto, his ace spy, didn't even know about this?

"Kabuto, I still have some things to prepare. You'll be in charge of all the arrangements for communication with Sunagakure from now on. Don't let me down again..." Orochimaru glanced deeply at Kabuto, whose forehead was covered in sweat, and then disappeared again after saying those words.

Kakashi with the Mangekyou Sharingan? Don't think that having that power makes you a threat. Not making a move today was Kakashi's biggest mistake!

Meanwhile, at the high tower examination hall.

[Did they leave? It's expected they didn't make a move, since neither Kakashi nor Orochimaru are impulsive. However, knowing about the Mangekyou Sharingan, Orochimaru will probably have a countermeasure prepared!]

Given Orochimaru's current abilities, the most likely scenario is that he'll use Edo Tensei to fight one or two Kage-level ninja against Kakashi. This would likely return the story to its starting point, but the impact would be minimal.

Withdrawing his red eyes, Ishikawa casually watched the battle nearing its end, secretly analyzing it.

Honestly, he doesn't want a butterfly effect that allows three generations to continue ruling!

By sacrificing himself as a hero to nurture the tender shoots of Konoha, this was the only path for the Third Hokage to redeem himself and elevate his character...
