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

Chapter 203 The Curse of Heaven, Karin's Temptation

"That's it!!" Outside the Forest of Death, Red Bean gazed at the vast sea of ​​fire burning in the distance, her face alternating between pale and red...

Which damn examinee actually used such a terrifying fire-style ninjutsu? This level of damage is not good news for her! As the chief examiner for the second round, she also bears undeniable responsibility for allowing the examinee to destroy the venue like this.

"Chief Examiner Hongdou, something terrible has happened!" Just as Hongdou, her face dark with frustration, was about to go check, a subordinate suddenly appeared in a flash, shouting anxiously, "One of the examinees' faces is missing! You must go and see what happened!"

"His face is gone??" Hongdou's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and she immediately followed her subordinates to the scene of the incident.

"It's the Face-Changing Technique! This is truly a terrible situation." Looking at the faceless corpse lying on the ground, Hongdou suddenly thought of a figure, her pupils contracted, and sweat beaded on her forehead!

As far as she knew, only one person knew how to use this ninjutsu.

"Wait, so the fire jutsu just now was probably..." Suddenly, Anko thought of the terrifying fire jutsu from before and her hands and feet went cold. She quickly connected all the clues.

"Quickly notify the Hokage to dispatch at least two Anbu squads for support. I'll go track these guys down first." Thinking of how terrifying that person was, Anko immediately left after saying this.

Damn it, she'd stop that guy even if it cost her her life!

Meanwhile, in the Death Forest.

"Quick, they've already started fighting!" Karin urged, her chakra surging as she watched the billowing fireworks two kilometers away.

Tarojiro was also slightly taken aback, not expecting that his two junior brothers, Sasuke and Naruto, would cause such a commotion. He immediately sprang into action and quickly followed.

As they raced towards this direction, many nearby squads also sprang into action! Some headed this way, while others quickly fled to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

At the same time.

"Did you...done it?" Naruto's eyes lit up with surprise as he looked at the large swath of burned forest opposite him. But in his joy, he couldn't help but gloat. "I never thought that my Wind Release combined with your Fire Release could unleash such a powerful ninjutsu! But speaking of which, Sasuke, you actually had such a powerful Fire Release ninjutsu hidden away."

"Of course. But Naruto, this time you finally didn't hold us back." Sasuke's lips curled up in pride; he hadn't expected Naruto to overcome his fear and escape from the snake's belly.

Has this guy come to his senses too?

"Hehehe... I won't let Sasuke steal the spotlight from Sakura all by himself. That was just an accident, and I'm not afraid of him now!" Naruto scratched the back of his head, pretending to be relaxed, but deep down he was still a little scared.

If it weren't for seeing Sakura being almost digested by the giant snake, which helped him overcome his fear, he might have already turned into snake dung and died alongside Sakura!

"Hehehe, you thought it was over?" Just as the two relaxed and were about to turn around and leave, a magnetic voice, different from before, suddenly rang out in the sea of ​​fire.

Instinctively, Sasuke and Naruto both turned their heads to look, their pupils shrinking as they stared in disbelief!

Amidst the scorched earth and billowing smoke, a figure emerged, its body charred, clothes torn, and skin tattered.

What's most striking is the pale face revealed by the burns, and that mesmerizing long, golden, serpentine eye!

"Naruto, take Sakura away quickly, I'll stop him." Without the slightest hesitation, Sasuke immediately shouted, his eyes flashing with tomoe and his hands rapidly forming hand seals.

"No way, I won't abandon you and run away!" Naruto said without hesitation, clasping his hands together and shouting with focused concentration, "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique..."

bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...

A large plume of white smoke drifted by, and hundreds of Narutos appeared instantly, charging forward without a word.

"Let's stop this boring charade! Sasuke, get ready to accept my gift." Ignoring the numerous shadow clones, Orochimaru tore off her disguise, revealing her true form, and charged towards Sasuke.

With his near-afterimage high-speed serpentine movement, Naruto's shadow clones either couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes, or they crumbled at the slightest touch and were already close to Sasuke and Naruto's main body in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it!!" Sasuke, who had already completed the hand seals and was preparing to unleash his Fire Release technique, could only give up in desperation when he saw Naruto and his shadow clones around him. He grabbed a kunai and charged forward.

With the aid of the Sharingan's three-tomoe perception, he was able to exchange more than a dozen quick blows with his opponent in the blink of an eye.

Naruto wanted to help, but there was no opening at all given that the two were already locked in combat.

"So this is the power of the Sharingan? Then the game is over!" Seeing that the time was almost up, Orochimaru suddenly revealed a sinister smile, her neck coiling around Sasuke's arm like a long snake as she bit down on the back of his neck. "Remember, my name is Orochimaru."

The fire-style attack just now was unexpected, and he now had to finish the battle quickly.

"Die!" In a flash, Sasuke saw the opponent's ferocious snake fangs and hardened his heart. Without dodging or avoiding, he directly stabbed the sharp kunai into the opponent's chest.

He would accept any price, whether it was poisoning or something else, as long as he killed the other person!

"Your body is mine now, Sasuke." Seeing Sasuke's desperate attempt to take the plunge, Orochimaru's eyes flashed with delight as he bit down hard.

So what if his heart ruptured? That kind of injury would do absolutely no good to him!

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall..."

In the blink of an eye, just as Orochimaru's sharp fangs bit into Sasuke's nape, a delicate shout suddenly rang out from nowhere.

The next instant, a surging torrent suddenly erupted from Sasuke's feet, rushing straight towards Orochimaru's neck, lifting him into the air and creating distance between them.

"Water Release: Water Whip." Almost simultaneously, a long water whip shot out and wrapped around Sasuke's waist, pulling him back.

Under Orochimaru's surprised gaze, another voice rang out, "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique..."

With a deafening roar, a fiery dragon hurtled towards him, blocking his path and forcing him to dodge!

In the blink of an eye, a smooth combo was executed, providing cover and rescuing teammates with perfect teamwork, the movements flowing like water in one go.

"Karin, Tarojiro-senpai, it's so good to see you here!" Upon seeing the newcomers, Naruto exclaimed with delight and quickly rushed to Sasuke's side.

But his joy was short-lived. Sasuke suddenly groaned, clutching the back of his neck and kneeling on the ground, drenched in sweat. And on that pale nape, three black tomoe appeared, one at the top and one at the bottom…

"Sorry, my gift has been successfully presented!" On the other side, Orochimaru, seeing Sasuke's reaction, immediately revealed a smug smile.

The reason the other party was able to successfully rescue Sasuke from his grasp was not because he couldn't stop them in time. Rather, it was because they had already succeeded and saw no need to stop them.

"However, that girl is Karin, the traitor the Grass Ninja mentioned. She has a special constitution that can heal injuries with a single bite." Suddenly, Orochimaru ignored Naruto's angry expression and fixed his gaze on the red-haired girl with burning eyes.

The value of such a special talent to someone who frequently conducts human experiments is self-evident!
