Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 128 A Twist of Fate

I'm leaving Konoha early tomorrow morning and won't be back for a while, so why not search for White Zetsu before I leave?

Could it be that Obito hasn't sent any White Zetsu to infiltrate Konoha yet after all this time?

Two Soul Reapers are simply too few; they're too inefficient. The more Soul Reapers, the better.

Upon realizing this, Uchiha Gen immediately formed hand seals and used the Spirit Transformation Technique, sending half of his soul out of his body to activate his soul perception.

The soul can perceive a wider area after leaving the body than it can while inside the body.

In an instant, countless souls appeared in Uchiha Gen's consciousness. The densely packed souls were like flying objects appearing on a radar screen. Although they were not perfectly visible, they were nonetheless impossible to spot.

He eliminated the souls of ordinary people and the souls of ninjas. Uchiha Gen specifically sought out souls with unusual locations and strange auras.

Soon, two souls came into Uchiha Gen's "sight": one soul was located at the main gate of the Uchiha clan's territory, and the other soul was located at the back gate of the Uchiha clan's territory.

These two souls are different from the souls of ordinary people and ninjas.

The souls of ordinary people and ninjas possess the true form of humans, but these two souls only have the outline of humans, without facial features or hair, similar to No-Face.

Their souls seemed underdeveloped, their auras vastly different from those of ordinary people and ninjas.

With a thought, the divided soul split in two again, passing through the floor and disappearing into the earth, then speeding forward in two different directions.

Inside a banyan tree beside the main gate of the Uchiha clan compound, White Zetsu was fast asleep, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

The next moment, Uchiha Gen's soul arrived at the banyan tree and entered the body of White Zetsu.

Stimulated, White Zetsu suddenly opened his eyes, but due to the huge difference in soul strength and his weak will, he was also taken over by Uchiha Gen.

At the same time, the White Zetsu at the back gate of the Uchiha clan compound was also taken over.

Uchiha Gen manipulated the bodies of two White Zetsu, activating the Mayfly Technique to quickly move them into his home using plants. They emerged from the floor and stood side by side.

As their souls returned to their bodies, the two White Zetsu had barely regained consciousness when a pair of scarlet Sharingan with three tomoe swept across them, and the two White Zetsu were once again trapped in genjutsu.

How many White Zetsu are there in Konoha Village?

Uchiha Gen leaned against the headboard, his expression calm and his tone relaxed and casual.

"Ten in total." The two White Zetsu looked confused and said in unison.

It feels like there aren't enough, only ten. Couldn't we give him a hundred?

If Obito knew what Uchiha Gen was thinking, he would definitely criticize him harshly: Do you think it's an easy thing to select White Zetsu with a qualified IQ?

"The purpose of coming to Konoha."

"Gather intelligence on all aspects of Konoha, with a focus on Jinchuriki and monitoring whether any Sharingan users with the three-tomoe Sharingan have left the village."

"Um?"

Uchiha Gen's expression shifted, and he raised an eyebrow. He could understand the former, but what did the latter mean?

"Why gather information about the departure of the three-tomoe Sharingan user?"

"have no idea."

"Two magatama, what about one magatama?"

"Ignore".

What's so special about the three-tomoe Sharingan?

Aside from being the pinnacle of the ordinary Sharingan, it also serves as a sacrifice for the Izanagi technique.

Obito's ability to escape during the Nine-Tails' rampage must have been inseparable from the Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan. Could it be that Obito used up one of his three-tomoe Sharingan to unleash Izanagi that night?

If that's the case, it's no wonder that even though Minato Namikaze knew the information beforehand, he still couldn't defeat Obito.

With Kamui and Izanagi combined, Obito's ability to survive was practically maxed out!

His ability to protect himself is somewhat lacking...

Wait a minute, have these guys relayed the information that he's leaving the village?

"Have you relayed the information that Uchiha Gen is about to leave the village?"

"It has been passed back."

Uchiha Gen: "..."

Doesn't this mean that Obito is going to come to him in person?

Damn, being targeted by such an elusive enemy doesn't feel good...

Akatsuki is still in hiding, and Obito is surrounded by Black Zetsu and White Zetsu. If he doesn't take action himself, how can he possibly defeat this genius of the Uchiha clan?

The combat power of a high-ranking White Zetsu can only be fully displayed when it is attached to a ninja with Hashirama cells.

Without Hashirama cells, their combat power is just so-so.

Without Yamato to rely on, White Zetsu can only rely on Obito to improve their own and Obito's fighting power, achieving a win-win situation.

Furthermore, Obito is a notorious underachiever in the Uchiha clan and the Ninja Academy, and now there's an opportunity to hunt down this Uchiha genius...

The Obito of today is not what he used to be, and he'll probably find it amusing.

Isn't it interesting that the worst student beats the genius?

This is also a kind of human nature; he didn't believe that Obito, the second son of Kenji, could be immune to worldly customs.

However, it's not a big problem. He's not someone to be trifled with. If Obito underestimates him, he might very well fall into his hands!

With the Homies protecting him, he wasn't afraid of Obito launching a sneak attack while he was sleeping.

He estimated that they would most likely make their move while he was on a mission, which would allow him to conceal himself and pin the blame on Mist Villager, killing two birds with one stone.

Since that's the case, I'll accept the White Zetsu from Konoha Village.

As Uchiha Gen's three-tomoe Sharingan eyes swirled, the scene before the two White Zetsu changed drastically...

In the scene, the two White Zetsu find themselves transformed into humans. A towering, incredibly thick divine tree extends its bark, resembling ropes, to wrap around and bind them, leaving them suspended in the tree to endure rain, snow, and wind.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe a moment, maybe millions of years, but they were put down and the bark covering them was removed.

Two white, humanoid monsters appeared...

Seeing this scene, the two carefree white Zetsu were suddenly filled with terror for some reason, and fell into extreme fear.

This level of fear has reached the point of mental breakdown, to the point where the soul is no longer bound by the body and has broken free!

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Gen looked surprised. The power of this genjutsu seemed excessive for White Zetsu.

Despite his astonishment, Uchiha Gen also took the opportunity to reap the souls of two White Zetsu and most of their lifespans.

With a thud, the two white Zetsu fell to the floor, their jagged mouths wide open, their faces contorted with extreme fear.

Next, Gen Uchiha used the Spirit Transformation Technique again, his soul roaming freely across the earth, and quickly found the locations of the other eight White Zetsu and possessed them.

Eight White Zetsu stood in the bedroom. Uchiha Gen withdrew his soul and was about to cast the same genjutsu as before, but immediately changed his mind.

He has been using fear as a means of harvesting souls, forgetting that it is also possible to harvest souls voluntarily.

It's hard to be willing in the world of One Piece, but it's not difficult in this world. I just don't know if it's possible.

Hypnotic eyes!

"Give me your souls, and you will be freed from endless suffering. Are you willing?"

"We...will." The eight White Zetsu slowly said in unison.

The next moment, eight souls and eight white orbs of light emerged from White Zetsu and quickly flowed into Uchiha Gen's body.

Hey, this really works! It will be even more convenient from now on!

Then, Uchiha Gen separated ten strands of his soul core and merged them into the light cluster that stored souls and lifespans, and then merged the light cluster into the bodies of ten White Zetsu.

The ten White Zetsu, reborn, rose from the ground and knelt on one knee, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

Uchiha Gen repeated what he had said to Bai Yichang and Bai Erchang, mentioned a place name, and then sent the White Zetsu to see the two instructors.

After each harvest of souls and lifespans, Bai Yichang and Bai Erchang would use the Ephemeral Technique to go to that place to rest.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about not being able to see these White Zetsu; at most, it's just a matter of waiting for a while.

These White Zetsu are masters of disguise and infiltration, and few in the ninja world can detect them, but their combat strength is really average, and their methods are quite limited.

Without the training of the two instructors, they would hardly achieve good results, and Uchiha Gen, as the boss, naturally wouldn't agree to that.

After finishing his business, Uchiha Gen lay back, covered himself with the blanket, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.
