Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 130 Don't Touch Me

"He spoke?"

Orochimaru jumped to Uchiha Gen's side, his face full of excitement, as if he had discovered a new continent.

How can a mere sword talk?

"There's no need to hide anything now that there's no birth."

The next moment, miniature facial features appeared on the silver-white blade of the Kusanagi sword, positioned slightly below the hilt.

"Tsk tsk, it's alive! What's the principle behind this?"

Orochimaru examined the Kusanagi sword, which he had once been so familiar with, and clicked his tongue in amazement before looking up at Uchiha Gen.

"My new bloodline limit is to imbue inanimate objects with souls, giving them anthropomorphic qualities," Uchiha Gen explained.

Once on the battlefield, the Homies would be needed, so I decided to explain it on the way.

"To imbue inanimate objects with souls?"

"Tsk tsk, what an interesting ability."

"Is a corpse acceptable?"

"A corpse won't work; it's never been successful."

"Is any inanimate object acceptable?"

"Theoretically, it is possible."

Orochimaru stroked his chin and said, "Your bloodline limit has great potential for development."

"So you can absorb the souls of enemies and bestow them upon inanimate objects?"

"There is a transformation process involved, and after the transformation, the original intelligence is gone."

"Hiss... Does that mean we won't even have the chance to go to the Pure Land?"

That's right.

"Tsk tsk... The ninjas who died at your hands were so miserable. What terrifying abilities."

"That's not necessarily true. Who knows what the Pure Land is like?"

Is the Pure Land truly a place of complete harmony?

"Only when one truly disappears from the world, returning to dust and ashes, can one truly be free from worries."

To be honest, he didn't believe that Pure Land was equivalent to heaven or a paradise.

"Tsk tsk, your mentality is truly ruthless. No wonder you were able to awaken such a bloodline limit..."

I am a werewolf, a werewolf who is a little more ruthless than a human. Unfortunately, the language of this world is different from that of my previous life, so when I speak it, it just doesn't feel right.

"Just telling the truth, after all, nobody really knows what the Pure Land is like..."

"It's alright, I'll know soon enough once I learn the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

"I hope so. I am quite curious about Pure Land."

"Xuan, what do you think of your teacher's attitude towards you?" Orochimaru asked with a smile.

This tone... it doesn't feel right, it's like someone in my past life wanted to borrow money from me.

Although the two initially became master and disciple through a transaction, Orochimaru was indeed quite good to him.

You can't do this against your conscience; you can't just say, "I'll lend you the money."

"Quite good."

"Without Orochimaru-sensei, although I am confident that I have come this far, it certainly wouldn't have been so smooth," Uchiha Gen said solemnly.

Orochimaru felt pleased upon hearing this.

No one likes an ungrateful person, even if the person themselves is ungrateful.

Was Orochimaru ungrateful to the Third Hokage?

This matter is complicated and depends on the perspective. In any case, Obito is definitely an ungrateful person.

In the original work, Kushina did not wrong Obito in the slightest; on the contrary, she treated Obito very well.

"Then get me some cells for research."

This bloodline limit is so interesting, I'll have to study it properly when I have time.

Uchiha Gen: "..."

He knew it wouldn't be good news...

"Alright, since you're going to give, then give a lot."

"Teacher, you've already started researching cloning technology, haven't you?"

"That's right." Orochimaru nodded.

Reincarnating one's soul into a younger clone is truly a promising prospect.

"When we get to the research base, we'll store more cells."

"Can."

"By the way, Orochimaru-sensei, the others will find out about my new bloodline limit sooner or later."

"We'll just say it was an accidental awakening with your help."

"Can."

Orochimaru didn't mind this endorsement at all; it wouldn't do him any harm.

"It's getting late, and we've been delayed a bit. We need to hurry on our way."

Orochimaru glanced at the now brightening sky and said, but his tone remained calm and unhurried.

Kirigakure might gain the upper hand with their well-prepared surprise attack and achieve more strategic advantage, but it's virtually impossible for them to defeat the elite forces sent by Konoha.

"I think we can try a different way of traveling," Uchiha Gen said with a faint smile.

"Zhurong".

"Yes, Master."

With a flash of red light, a miniature crimson dragon appeared in mid-air, then its body rapidly expanded dozens of times, transforming into a majestic fire dragon over ten meters long and as thick as a water bucket.

"This is... an elemental creature?"

Orochimaru was shocked, but after regaining his senses, he stared at the majestic red fire dragon in the void with shining eyes.

Uchiha Gen leaped onto the dragon's body, sat slightly behind the dragon's head, and tilted his head slightly, saying, "That's right."

"Orochimaru-sensei, come on up quickly."

"Tsk tsk, interesting, interesting, this is really interesting."

Orochimaru exclaimed in admiration as he leaped onto the dragon's body, sat down a short distance away, and then gently stroked Zhu Rong's dragon body with his pale palm.

"Don't touch me, or I'll burn you!"

Zhu Rong turned his head, spewing two balls of fire from his nostrils, and bared his teeth menacingly.

"Zhurong is my teacher, so please be polite."

Uchiha Gen stroked Zhu Rong's dragon head, speaking gently to comfort him.

"Teacher, please forgive Zhurong for her bad temper."

Orochimaru smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing."

"His hands were too cold, and his gaze made Long very uncomfortable."

"Hmph, if he weren't your teacher, I would have called on him long ago!"

Uchiha Gen turned his head and laughed, "Teacher, please tone down that look you give when you're looking at research materials."

"Your gaze would make any creature with even a modicum of intelligence uncomfortable."

Orochimaru smiled helplessly and said, "I'll be careful."

He couldn't help it; he really couldn't resist. The elemental life forms created by this bloodline limit were truly fascinating to him.

"Alright, let's go."

Upon hearing this, Zhurong's dragon eyes swirled, and it instantly shifted from a suspended state to full-speed flight, displaying astonishing inertia between extreme stillness and motion.

This caused Uchiha Gen, the master, to lean back and quickly grab the dragon's horn. Orochimaru behind him was even more embarrassed, leaning back so much that he almost fell.

If Orochimaru hadn't possessed incredible flexibility and managed to entangle the dragon's body in time, he would have truly fallen.

Although a height of twenty or thirty meters is not enough to kill Orochimaru, or even make him fall to his death, he will inevitably suffer a terrible fall.

"Zhurong, what are you doing?"

"This is outrageous!"

Uchiha Gen frowned and turned his head to avoid the gust of wind, then scolded him.

Zhu Rong rolled his eyes and pretended not to hear.

Before Uchiha Gen could say anything more, Orochimaru quickly interjected, "Never mind, it was just a little joke."

This fire dragon has quite a temper and isn't very vengeful. If someone holds a grudge and deliberately tries to knock it down, it could be dangerous.

Although he could hold on tightly by wrapping around it, he couldn't stop this guy from getting bigger and smaller.

That height must be seven or eight hundred meters, right?

It flies really fast.

"This is a one-time exception, or you'll definitely be taught a lesson."

After saying this, Uchiha Gen turned his head and raised his hand to slap the dragon's head, using a little force, but not much.

Zhu Rong, knowing when to stop, quickly tilted his dragon head back and nuzzled against it in a fawning manner.

Just as the sun was rising in the east, thousands of golden rays radiated from the east, warm and gentle. A huge red sun slowly rose, dyeing the distant white clouds in gold and red. A rainbow stretched across the sky, truly magnificent and awe-inspiring...

Both Uchiha Gen and Orochimaru were captivated by the magnificent scenery, gazing blankly into the distance.

Looking from behind, the two figures, one dragon and one human, seemed to be rushing into the rising sun...
