Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 117 Reversing the Heavenly Gang

At the Konoha Memorial Monument, two figures stood before a memorial monument.

A figure dressed in a pale yellow kimono with a purple sash around the waist, white magatama embroidered on the collar, long black hair casually draped over the shoulders, skin as pale as snow, golden pupils, exuding a cold aura that keeps strangers at bay.

The other figure wore a brown outfit with a red outer jacket, wooden clogs, and wrist guards. His slightly messy white hair reached his waist, and he wore a Konoha headband on his forehead. He had red marks under his eyes and exuded an aura of sadness.

About 20 meters away from the two, there was another girl wearing fishnet stockings underneath and beige trousers and a jacket on top.

"I never expected you'd come to pay your respects to Minato..."

"Hehe... Although the old man is biased, not just anyone can take the Hokage position from me."

"I acknowledge Minato's strength and abilities."

"Jiraiya, you've taken on a fine apprentice."

Jiraiya smiled faintly upon hearing this, but then his expression quickly faded as he thought of the departed Minato.

"Minato is dead, you should take responsibility."

"I?"

"Heh heh... It seems the old man has a problem with me. He won't let me become Hokage unless I become the way he wants me to be."

"But it doesn't matter, I've found a new goal in life."

"What's the goal?"

Orochimaru smiled faintly, did not answer, and changed the subject instead.

"Compared to me, you have a much greater chance of becoming Hokage if you're willing."

"Go see the old man today, and he'll definitely make you Hokage."

Jiraiya shook his head and said, "I don't like paperwork and backstabbing, and I need to continue searching for the Child of Prophecy, so I can't stay in the village forever."

"Heh heh... the child of prophecy?"

"You're still so unrealistic, always putting your hopes on others."

"Since you desire peace so much, why not become Hokage and put it into practice?" Orochimaru sneered.

"I know that with my personality and abilities, even if I become Hokage, I won't be able to bring peace."

"You knew without even doing it?"

"I don't remember Jiraiya being that smart."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's forehead veins throbbed, and he hissed in a low voice, "Get lost!"

"I'm gone."

"Aren't we going to ask the old man what exactly happened on October 10th?"

"I have my own sources of information, but since you've invited me, I'll reluctantly go with you."

Jiraiya: "..."

The two turned and left, with Hongdou following behind. They soon left the area where the Konoha Memorial Monument was located.

"Senior brother."

Upon seeing the long-lost figure, Hongdou jumped up and waved with a big smile.

Uchiha Gen nodded to Anko, then walked over and bowed slightly, saying, "Orochimaru-sensei, Jiraiya-senpai."

Gen Uchiha obtained information about Orochimaru's whereabouts from the police department; Orochimaru did not conceal his movements.

Orochimaru nodded slightly, without saying a word.

"Oh, it's Gen! It's been a long time!" Jiraiya said with a hearty laugh.

Jiraiya naturally recognized Orochimaru's new disciple, having met him on the battlefield of Kirigakure.

"It's been a long time. I heard that Jiraiya-senpai wrote a book, and I read it. Jiraiya-sama has the potential to become a bestselling author."

"Haha, Orochimaru, your disciple really knows how to talk. He's quite different from the average Uchiha brat."

"He is indeed different from ordinary Uchiha ninjas."

"What do you need me for?"

"Nothing much, I just thought I should come and greet the teacher when she comes back, and maybe we can have dinner together tonight."

"Jiraiya-senpai, would you like to come along?"

"Me? Forget about me, I still need to go see Kushina and Naruto."

Normally, Jiraiya would be happy to get a free meal, but thinking of Minato's widow, he lost interest.

"You and Anko go and prepare. Jiraiya and I are going to the Hokage Building too."

"it is good."

After descending the mountain, the four separated, with Uchiha Gen and Anko going to a nearby market to buy groceries.

"Senior brother, I heard from the teacher that the Nine-Tails has caused an attack in Konoha?"

"Yes, you saw the area where Konoha is rebuilding when you came down the mountain, right?"

"Hmm, that's a huge area."

"The damage to the buildings is secondary; the main problem is the deaths of many ninjas and civilians."

"How could this happen out of the blue?"

"Someone took advantage of the weakened seal during the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's production to launch an attack."

"That's outrageous! Who is that person?" Red Bean frowned and said fiercely.

"It's not clear exactly who it is, but according to the Fourth Hokage, it's very likely to be a descendant of Madara Uchiha."

"Uchiha?"

"You Uchiha clan members?" Anko exclaimed.

"They are not from the Uchiha clan of Konoha, but rather Uchiha who have been living in exile."

"Oh...I see. So, who is this Uchiha Madara?"

"That's a long story, but in short..."

"Hmm... You can think of them as the older generation who worked with the First Hokage to quell the chaos and establish Konoha, but left Konoha after conflicts arose due to differences in their ideals."

"That……"

"Alright, let's not talk about Madara Uchiha anymore."

"It would take several hours to explain this completely, it's none of your business, I don't want to waste my breath," Uchiha Gen interrupted directly.

He explained to Shisui and Itachi that it was valuable, but explaining it to Anko would be like telling a story, so he was too lazy to say it.

"Hmph, you stinky senior brother, how is this none of my business?"

"He is an enemy of Konoha, and I am a Konoha ninja, so he is also my enemy!"

"Come on, you'd be instantly killed if you ran into him."

"That amazing?"

What do you think?

"Otherwise, how could the seal be broken and the Nine-Tails released right under the noses of the Fourth Hokage and the Anbu?"

"That's true."

"If you have time, you could go and see more of Hong."

"What's wrong with red?"

"Her father died at the hands of the Nine-Tails."

"What? Hong must be very sad, right?"

"Of course I was heartbroken, but Hong is very strong."

"What...what are you doing?"

"I'm going to see the red now."

After saying that, Hongdou ran off in a flash.

You're so carefree and impulsive. What if Hong isn't home if you just show up?

Then we would have made a wasted trip.

Uchiha Gen shook his head and had no choice but to go to the market alone. Since he was alone, he bought more of what he liked to eat.

I had just bought some medicinal herbs when Hongdou arrived.

Upon seeing Anko's appearance, Uchiha Gen knew he had made a wasted trip.

"Senior brother, Hong isn't home. Sigh, what a wasted trip."

"It's okay, just consider it exercise."

"Yeah, we can eat more tonight, hehe."

Uchiha Gen: "..."

"Senior brother, what are you cooking for dinner tonight?"

"Everything is good with the teacher, except the food is too ordinary. The teacher only cares about filling their stomachs and providing enough energy; they don't care at all about how good it tastes..."

"Dry pot".

"What makes dry pot so delicious?"

You'll find out tonight.

"Would you like to learn how to cook with me? Then you can cook delicious food on your own."

Hongdou lives alone, and although her cooking skills aren't exceptional, they're still decent.

Hongdou's eyes lit up, and she nodded frantically, saying, "Great! Great! Why didn't I think of that before..."

"Then I'll teach you, study hard."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely study hard."

Once you learn it, I can eat it ready-made from now on.

How can it be that the senior brother always cooks for the junior sister?

This is utterly upside down!

The junior sister should be cooking for the senior brothers and teachers...
