Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 1 The Shadow of War

Late at night on October 1th, Konoha Year 50.

Konoha Village, located in the heart of the Land of Fire, was eerily quiet. The usually bustling streets were deserted. A bright moon hung high in the sky, its light casting a silvery veil over the village, creating a hazy and beautiful scene.

The Hokage Building in the center of the village was brightly lit and very conspicuous in the darkness.

A group of Konoha ANBU members, wearing white animal masks, black bodysuits, white tank tops, and carrying ninja swords on their backs, stood solemnly around the Hokage Building like wooden stakes, creating an invisible yet real atmosphere of oppression in the air!

Suddenly, a figure dressed in a white cloak and wearing a pure white mask appeared on the rooftop platform of the Hokage Building, speaking rapidly: "The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Sand Village are attacking. Immediately notify all the ninjas in the village."

"Have them assist the police department in evacuating civilians to shelters as quickly as possible, and then assemble at the Hokage Building!"

"Yes, Minister!"

All the ANBU ninjas knelt in a half-bow salute, then left with heavy hearts, their shadows scattering in all directions of the village.

About six minutes later, on the western edge of the Uchiha clan's territory, an Uchiha ninja landed in front of a two-story building.

"Uchiha Gen, emergency summons! Assemble at the police department immediately."

"understood."

Upon hearing the response, the Uchiha ninja quickly disappeared.

In the bedroom by the window on the second floor, a figure quickly got up from the warm and comfortable bed, nimbly put on clothes and shoes, donned armor, hung up the ninja tool bag, slung the ninja sword over his shoulder, and then jumped out of the window and landed in the small courtyard.

The figure was revealed under the moonlight, appearing to be about twelve or thirteen years old, with deep and defined facial features, eyes as black as lacquer, eyebrows sharp as swords and knives, a high nose bridge, and thin, slightly red lips.

He wore a tight-fitting black top and black trousers underneath, and black and gray breastplate, arm armor, gauntlets, leg armor, and back armor on top. The back armor was painted with the Uchiha's iconic fan pattern. Instead of the sandals that ninjas usually wear, he wore black breathable boots.

He looks cold and aloof, yet exceptionally heroic!

"What could possibly warrant issuing an emergency mobilization order so late in the night?"

"What kind of airplanes are the third generation making?"

These disrespectful words sounded nothing like those of someone from Konoha Village; they sounded more like those of a spy from another village.

After all, everyone in Konoha Village, from the powerful high-ranking officials and clan leaders to ordinary civilians, respected the Hokage and others greatly and dared not show the slightest disrespect.

In reality, Gen Uchiha was not from this world, but came from Earth.

One late night, Uchiha Gen, as usual, stayed up late, lying in bed watching "Naruto" on one phone and "One Piece" on the other.

I don't know when I fell asleep, and when I regained consciousness, I found myself in a time warp.

The original owner had already died in a corner of the battlefield due to severe injuries, but after Uchiha Gen transmigrated, he returned to the front-line camp.

Because of the severity of his injuries, he was unable to recover and return to the battlefield in a short time and was sent back to Konoha for treatment and recuperation. It has been three and a half months since then.

After recovering from his injuries, and without receiving any transfer orders, Uchiha Gen spent his days cultivating in the clan's territory to improve his strength.

"Sigh, nothing good can happen at this time of year; it's most likely war."

"Although I gained battlefield experience from the original owner's memories, this is my first time participating in it personally. I'm both nervous and... excited."

Uchiha Gen slightly raised his head, and his black pupils instantly turned into blood-red eyes. There were two symmetrical black tomoe in each eye, emitting a faint red light in the night, making him look evil and eerie!

These Sharingan eyes were born from the original owner's suffering.

The first time the original owner opened his eyes was when he was ten years old, upon hearing that his parents had died on the battlefield; the second evolution was due to witnessing the deaths of his teacher and teammates.

Unfortunately, even though the original owner activated the two-tomoe technique, he still died from severe injuries due to insufficient chakra, despite avoiding the pursuit.

With a whoosh, a cool night breeze blew by. Uchiha Gen cleared his mind of all distractions and stopped thinking about it. His figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

In front of the Konoha Police Department building plaza, a large number of Uchiha clan ninjas dressed in dark, tight-fitting suits gathered together. There was no noise or disorder; they stood in silent ranks.

The police department is a militarized management department with its own set of rules.

Upon seeing Uchiha Gen appear, the Uchiha clan ninjas silently made way for him to stand at the front.

The Uchiha clan is the most powerful clan in Konoha and the most powerful clan in the ninja world, with more than two thousand members, including men, women, and children.

More than half of these two thousand people are ordinary people, and not everyone among the remaining people can awaken the Sharingan.

In reality, only a minority of the Uchiha clan ninjas have awakened the Sharingan; the majority are ninjas who have not.

You can become an excellent ninja even without the Sharingan, but the Uchiha clan reveres the Sharingan.

Therefore, ninjas with Sharingan naturally have a higher status in their clans, and those with two-tomoe Sharingan, second only to those with three-tomoe Sharingan, are considered to be in the middle and upper echelons of the clan.

Especially since Uchiha Gen is only thirteen years old this year and can be called a genius of the Uchiha clan, his status is even higher.

A few breaths after Uchiha Gen arrived, three more ninjas arrived. After a roll call to confirm that everyone was present, a tall ninja walked out of the police department building.

This ninja has short brown hair, squinting eyes, and wears a dark blue long shirt and a black tight-fitting combat suit. The back of the suit is embroidered with the Uchiha clan's fan pattern, and the exterior is covered with green Jonin chainmail. The Uchiha clan emblem is embroidered on the shoulders.

"Captain Hachidai," the group said, bowing slightly.

Uchiha Yatsuho narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly, his expression grave. "The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Sand Village have launched a surprise attack and are not far from Konoha."

"The Hokage has ordered that civilians be evacuated to shelters as quickly as possible, and then assembled at the foot of the Hokage Building."

"Take immediate action!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt extremely heavy-hearted, and their faces turned even more grim. Was Konoha about to be attacked on their doorstep?

This has never happened since the founding of Konoha!

Uchiha Gen's expression was also grim; his suspicions had been confirmed—it really was war!

The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Sand Village are advancing straight to the heart of the enemy, their momentum unstoppable. The Hidden Leaf Village ninjas will also do everything in their power to protect their homeland, sparing no sacrifice. Clearly, this war will be extremely fierce!

However, this war did resolve a doubt in his mind.

The reason why Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was in his prime, stepped down was probably due to this brutal war in which he was driven to his doorstep.

In addition to the huge losses suffered by Konoha in the Third Shinobi World War, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who commanded poorly, was indeed to blame and had no choice but to resign and elect the Fourth Hokage.

"yes!"

Although everyone felt incredibly heavy-hearted, their answers and actions were without the slightest hesitation.

One after another, figures quickly disappeared from the police department building. They first went to their own clans to wake up their clansmen, then left some behind to guide them, while the remaining ninjas went into the village to wake up and guide the civilians.

Thanks to the efficient actions of the Konoha ninja, the entire village quickly became bright and bustling. The streets were filled with Konoha villagers with their families, and the cries of babies and children echoed throughout the village...

Since it was the first time they had been attacked on their own doorstep, and they had not practiced before, neither the ninjas nor the civilians were familiar with the situation, resulting in low coordination efficiency.

Therefore, it wasn't until dawn that all the civilians were sent to the shelters.

The Konoha ninjas, without a moment's rest, immediately followed instructions and assembled in the plaza beneath the Hokage Building, looking from a distance like a flock of fleas...
