Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 103 More Painful Than Losing One's Own Father

"S...S country one."

Seeing that the enormous Nine-Tails vanish without a trace in an instant, a Konoha ninja murmured to himself in shock.

The surrounding ninjas all agreed, saying that he was indeed very powerful, worthy of being called the Yellow Flash, and worthy of their Hokage!

"Anbu ninja, follow me."

"The other ninjas immediately aided the wounded, searched for survivors, and cleaned up the battlefield."

"The crisis is not completely over yet; do not let your guard down!"

The Third Hokage, holding the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel), spoke with a very serious expression.

"Yes, Lord Sandai."

Everyone perked up and quickly spoke up.

"Third Hokage, please wait a moment," Uchiha Gen said hurriedly.

"What's wrong?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was anxious, so his tone was somewhat impatient.

"Third Hokage, please bring along our Uchiha Jonin. If we work together, we can at least affect the Nine-Tails for about a second and a half, which will definitely be helpful in dealing with the Nine-Tails," Uchiha Gen said solemnly.

Fugaku is such a slowpoke, his reactions are really slow and his adaptability is lacking. This is clearly another opportunity for him to gain favor with all the ninjas.

Once these ninjas find out, sooner or later all the ninjas and villagers of Konoha will know how the Uchiha clan behaved when disaster struck.

Furthermore, given what Minato Namikaze said in front of everyone, who would dare to openly pin the blame for the Nine-Tails' attack on the Uchiha clan of Konoha?

In this way, as long as there are no traitors, who can destroy the Uchiha?

No, with him around, even if there are traitors, they can't wipe out the Uchiha!

As for the other hidden benefits, there's no need to elaborate.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Gen Uchiha with some surprise.

I used to think this little guy was a ninja who couldn't break free from the constraints of his clan, but I didn't expect him to be so concerned about the Hokage and the village at such a crucial moment.

Based on his understanding of Fugaku's personality and style of doing things, he believed that Fugaku would not bring Jonin from the police department to participate in the battle.

Now that this has happened, could it be that this little guy came up with the idea?

I once heard Minato say that it was this little guy's idea that the two geniuses of the Uchiha clan became his apprentice and grand-apprentice respectively.

It seems this guy, like Shisui, is an unusual Uchiha.

If it really was this little guy's idea, then he's someone we could try to win over.

Despite the thoughts swirling in his mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi remained outwardly calm, only softening his tone slightly.

"Are you guys alright?"

At this moment, Fugaku finally realized what was happening and quickly replied, "Okay, we can do it."

"Everyone, you agree, right?"

"Third Hokage, protecting Konoha is our duty!" Uchiha Shisui said solemnly, his voice firm and powerful.

The ancestors' idea of ​​bringing peace was correct, but the descendants were not educated well. How could they destroy Konoha?

Their ancestors rode the Nine-Tails to fight the First Hokage outside Konoha Village, yet their descendants have committed such heinous acts...

Clearly, Shisui had heeded his teacher Minato Namikaze's advice and assumed that the attacker was a descendant of Madara Uchiha.

This way of thinking isn't entirely wrong. Obito was related to Madara by blood, and even if the blood relationship was distant, he inherited Madara's name and ideals, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a descendant.

Minato Namikaze's guess was a lucky accident.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

"I'm still okay, I can keep going."

A Jonin with two-tomoe Sharingan raised his hand and wiped away the bloody tears streaming from his eyes with his sleeve.

"Me too."

"Me too."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Jonin of the Uchiha clan successively expressed their opinions.

Seeing this scene, all the ninjas present were deeply moved.

Although the Uchiha clan ninjas may not have the best temper and can be annoying at times, they are truly reliable in crucial moments.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was quite pleased and moved by this scene, realizing that the Uchiha clan still had its merits.

"In that case, you may come with me."

"Set off!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi then led his direct ANBU and Uchiha clan ninjas quickly toward the direction where the Nine-Tails had been pushed out of the village.

Along the way, ninjas who felt their chakra was insufficient took out their soldier rations and swallowed them.

The other ninjas followed orders and began to work around the battle area.

……

At the summit of the back mountain of Konoha, Shimura Danzo was stunned to see Kurama suddenly disappear.

Where is my nine-tailed fox?

With the Nine-Tails gone, how can I seize the opportunity to make a contribution and regain power?

After a moment of stunned silence, Danzo Shimura angrily ordered all the Root ninjas to scatter and search for the Nine-Tails' whereabouts...

The number of Root ninjas is not large. As a second-level ANBU training department under the ANBU, the official organization of Root is a squad, which is seventeen people.

Of course, the Root ninjas were definitely overstaffed, but even if they were overstaffed, the number wouldn't be much, at most only half the number of Anbu ninjas, which is two squads.

Among these ninjas were naturally those with sensory abilities, but these ninjas were unaware of the specific direction of the Nine-Tails' transfer.

To prevent the village from being damaged again, Minato Namikaze did everything he could to relocate it, even though the distance wasn't very far, it wasn't exactly close either.

Finding a Root ninja is no easy feat.

It took Hiruzen Sarutobi and his men quite a while to get past the Nine-Tails' enormous size and pinpoint its location.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived, the Nine-Tails had already been bound by Kushina's Adamantine Lock, and an invisible barrier derived from the crisscrossing Adamantine Lock chains also enveloped all directions.

The sealing and defensive power of this barrier is extremely strong. Even though the Vajra Sealing Barrier is effective against tailed beasts but not against humans, breaking it is still quite difficult.

Moreover, it cannot be broken. Forcibly breaking it, or even just attacking it, would consume Kushina's limited chakra, thus causing the Nine-Tails to break free of its suppression.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was the fastest. When Gen, Fugaku, Shisui, and two top members of the Anbu arrived, Minato Namikaze was forming hand seals to cast the Reaper Death Seal.

"That mark, could it be...?"

"Ah, it's the Reaper Death Seal!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked shocked and muttered to himself.

"Third Hokage, what kind of ninjutsu is that?"

Looking at the figure floating in the void, dressed in a wide white robe, holding red prayer beads, with a white short sword strapped to his mouth, and revealing a purplish-red chest, Uchiha Fugaku could not suppress his curiosity and asked.

The others, seeing this, also listened intently.

"This is an S-rank sealing technique originating from the Uzumaki clan."

"Using one's own soul as a sacrifice and one's own life as the price to summon the Grim Reaper to seal the target is a forbidden technique that will inevitably lead to death!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a sorrowful expression.

"What?" Fugaku Uchiha exclaimed in shock.

Will it kill you if you use it?

Does that mean the Fourth Hokage is going to die here today?

No!

Our Uchiha clan has finally gained another Hokage disciple, finally begun to break free from the shackles of the police department, and finally started to gradually reduce the distance between us and the village...

The Uchiha clan is at the peak of its potential; how can it be interrupted?

If a new Hokage were appointed, the situation might not develop in the direction the Uchiha clan hoped for.

Lord Hokage, Lord Hokage, you were too impulsive.

When we arrive, we might have a way to deal with the Nine-Tails, so why are we in such a hurry?

Fugaku Inwardly groaned, feeling even more pain than when his own father had died...

The others also changed color upon hearing this. Why did it have to come to this?

Uchiha Gen sighed inwardly. Minato still chose the Reaper Death Seal, unable to break free from his predetermined fate. What about Kushina?

Are you going to seal half of the Nine-Tails inside your own body?

He did remind me!
