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

Chapter 303 The Aftermath of the Turmoil: The Invitation from Nanga Shrine

"Sa...Sasuke, did you save me? I...I..." In a daze, Sakura woke up from the pain in her back and her cheeks turned red.

Sasuke, her idol Sasuke, was actually treating the wound on her back. The thought of her fair and beautiful back being exposed to Sasuke made Sakura tremble and her breathing become rapid!

This is so embarrassing...

Sakura: (Haha, if Ino saw this, wouldn't she be so jealous? I'm so happy, I'm just too happy!)

In an instant, some sweet images flashed through Xiaoying's mind, and her pretty face turned bright red again, as if the door to love was right in front of her and within reach.

"Are you awake? Although it's not a serious injury, it's not an internal injury that will heal quickly either. Honestly, I never thought you'd end up being the one who holds me back." Just as Sakura was overjoyed and fantasizing about love, Sasuke's calm words struck her like a thunderbolt.

"You're dragging me down..." Sakura blurted out instinctively, her face turning pale with shame.

It seems that their team is indeed in that situation right now!

"Besides, it was Naruto who saved you this time. If he hadn't stopped that Amegakure Jonin, you might have been dead by the time we arrived."

Sakura "(oДo*)?"

"Ahem, you can't say that." Runtu coughed lightly to break the awkward silence.

Sasuke really doesn't know how to talk to girls!

"Sakura, Idaten has already told us about your heroic performance. Well done." After praising her, Junto stopped smiling and got to the point. "Sakura needs to rest and recover now, but the mission can't be interrupted. So I've decided to split up. Naruto and I will be in one group to protect Idaten and help her finish the match."

"As for Sasuke, you should take Sakura back to Wasabi's house to rest first, and we'll return to Konoha together after the competition!"

"But what about Naruto?" Sasuke frowned instinctively, looking at the unconscious Naruto. Was this guy even capable of anything...?

"Don't worry, I've got everything covered." Runtu gave Sasuke a confident look; no one knew Naruto's situation better than him.

Naruto will wake up in half a day at most and become that energetic and passionate young man again!

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. If only our team had a medical ninja, we could treat any unexpected situations without being forced to split up." Juntu shrugged helplessly, looking at the two hesitant individuals.

If it were their Kakashi squad, this kind of injury wouldn't be so troublesome at all with Rin's medical ninjutsu!

Unfortunately, Team 7 is an all-combat ninja squad.

“Medical ninja…” Sakura murmured unconsciously upon hearing this, a thought flashing through her mind as she recalled Sasuke’s earlier words.

If she became a medical ninja, wouldn't she stop being a burden to the team?

But can she really do it?

"I'll go with Naruto to complete the mission. You go take care of Sakura, Junto." Just as Sakura was feeling anxious and preparing to go back with Sasuke to recuperate, Sasuke suddenly changed the subject and raised an objection.

Immediately, Sakura's face fell again, looking utterly dejected...

As expected, she was still rejected!

"Okay." After hesitating for a moment, and thinking that the defeated Sound Ninja and Rain Ninja could not possibly make a comeback so quickly, Junto finally nodded in agreement.

Sakura opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she remained silent.

"Idaten, let's go." Sasuke called out upon seeing this, then carried Naruto on his back and quickly left along the race route.

And in fact, just as Junto had expected, no ninja appeared to assassinate Idaten in the following matches.

Until Naruto woke up, the three of them raced all the way to defeat their opponents and win the championship. Everything went exceptionally smoothly...

Of course, the result of this match brought joy to one side and sorrow to the other.

Compared to the jubilant laughter of the victor, Wasabi Jiro, the rival Mustard Family was naturally furious but helpless!

The day after the competition ended, Team 7 bid farewell to Jirocho's enthusiastic hospitality and embarked on their journey home.

This time, however, there was one more person in the team...

"By the way, Idaten, why do you insist on coming back to Konoha with us? Do you have some other motive?"

"Hmph, I'm just going back to see my older brother. And while I'm at it, I'll see what Konoha is like under the Fifth Hokage..."

"really?"

"Of course. But if you insist on saying I have ulterior motives, then it's Miss Sakura! She saved my life, so of course I'm going to repay her with my body in gratitude."

"What?! Damn it, you really did have some ulterior motives..."

"No, I don't want this kind of gratitude..."

For a moment, Naruto and Sakura's resistance resounded through the sky, leaving Sasuke speechless.

These three guys are really boring!

"Brother Runtu, do you know the gathering place of the Uchiha Naga Shrine?" Raising an eyebrow, Sasuke turned to look at Runtu beside him.

“Nanka Shrine? Uh, I think I vaguely remember it…” Junto scratched his head, a little embarrassed, as he wasn’t really sure about it.

Their world is in the midst of war; who has time to care about this!

Sasuke didn't seem to care. Junto was only a little older than him, so it was understandable that he didn't know.

After a pause, Sasuke took a deep breath and said solemnly, "There, there is a Nanga stone tablet passed down through generations of the Uchiha clan. Only those with the Sharingan can read its contents. And depending on the level of their eye power, the content they see will also differ!"

"Brother Runtu, I hope you can come back and take a look with me. I want to know if what the Mangekyou Sharingan sees is the same as what that person said!"

"The Uchiha stone tablet that can only be read by the Sharingan??" Junto was slightly taken aback, then nodded frantically with joy as he realized something.

He still doesn't understand why his Mangekyou Sharingan brought him to this world; perhaps that stone tablet can give him some answers.

Who knows, maybe the higher-ups will have a way back!

While Junto and his group were rushing back to Konoha, at the Northern Base of the Land of Rice Fields...

“You’re all pretty familiar with the power of the cursed seal now. Next up is ninjutsu training. I’ll only give you one week to train.” Ishikawa wiped the sweat from his brow and nodded in agreement as he watched Tarojiro, who was panting heavily after the cursed seal was removed.

Even in his normal state, he found it somewhat difficult to deal with his two underlings who had their curse seals fully activated.

Keep in mind that Ishikawa's strength at this time was almost at the level of a near-Kage!

This shows that the two underlings with the cursed seal definitely have the strength of Jonin, and with their flying support, they are not much weaker than elite Jonin.

"Yes, brother." Taro and Jiro replied in unison, each beginning their training in the ninjutsu from the Book of Sealing.

While they were cultivating, Karin outside was also working hard, sweating profusely.

As for Shigeo?

Yes, that guy is being sent by Ishikawa to collect and organize the cursed seal data from the base and pack it up to take away.
