Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 133 The Schemes Between Old Schemers

Relying on his resistance to genjutsu and the presence of his teammates, Kurosuki Raiga did not deliberately avoid Uchiha Gen's Sharingan.

Because of the Blood Mist policy, the bonds between Hidden Mist ninjas are very fragile, but that doesn't mean they will stand idly by when facing enemies.

Suigetsu Hobuki and Kurosuki Raiga are not like Kurihara Kushimaru and Murashi Jinpachi, who purely enjoy killing and don't mind killing their teammates if they get in their way.

The reason why Kushimaru Kurihara and Jinpachi Murashi died at the hands of Might Dai was not only because they were close by and unlucky, but also because they were extremely unpopular among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Of course, Suigetsu Hozuki and Kurosuki Raiga are definitely not good people either, but their personalities are relatively less wicked.

Although it is in the three-tomoe form, it is still essentially the Mangekyou Sharingan, and its power is incomparable to that of the ordinary three-tomoe form.

Raiga Kurosuki was instantly struck by the Naraku-sight technique, which directly confronts the most terrifying thing in his heart.

The lightning emanating from the Thunder Blade vanished, and Black Hoshino Raiga's expression turned terrified as his soul and lifespan began to detach from him...

Fortunately, Suigetsu Hozuki arrived in time and used his chakra to disrupt Kurosuki Raiga's chakra, freeing him from the genjutsu.

The fear vanished, and Raiga Kurosuki's soul and lifespan shrank back into his body.

"Phew... What a terrifying illusion!"

Having narrowly escaped death, Kurozumi Raiga was panting heavily, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"Just now, a soul and a white light emanated from your body, very similar to that of the deceased Kanda."

"Don't let your guard down, the enemy seems to have some strange abilities..."

Suigetsu Hozuki, holding Samehada in his hand, stared blankly ahead, his gaze slightly lowered, no longer showing any contempt.

Judging from what just happened, even Lei Ya, whose strength is comparable to his, was almost instantly killed. If he were to be hit, he would probably suffer the same fate.

"I was just under a fear-based illusion. Kanda's expression seemed extremely fearful when he died..."

"Could it be that the other party's special ability is to extract the soul and something else from a person's body when they are afraid?"

"I've never heard of the Uchiha clan possessing such a bizarre ability, aside from the Sharingan?"

Kurozu Raiya gripped his thunder blade tightly, his gaze slightly lowered, his expression calming down, but his voice still betrayed a hint of lingering fear.

"Perhaps he has mastered some secret technique of the Uchiha clan."

"After all, the Uchiha clan has a very long history, so it's not surprising that they might have some strange secret techniques."

The conversation between the two reached Uchiha Gen's ears, and he felt a slight sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection).

As expected of the elite among the Hidden Mist Ninja, he guessed almost everything about one of the abilities of the Soul-Soul Fruit in a short period of time.

But it doesn't matter if you guess right. If you fall into a trap or are defeated, you'll still die. This world has many and convenient ways to make people fearful and willing!

"Hey, Fatty, Green Hair, haven't you two said enough?"

"Enough talk, come and face your death."

Uchiha Gen glanced at Orochimaru, who was fighting six opponents with unpredictable and powerful taijutsu and getting further and further away, then grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth and mocking him.

After keeping a low profile for so long, it's time to be a little more arrogant.

And the commentary, the feeling of being arrogant is really quite enjoyable!

Even though Suigetsu Hobutsuki and Kurosuki Raiga told themselves not to get angry, they still couldn't control themselves.

As a ninja who has been famous in the ninja world for a long time and has a high status in Kirigakure, no one has ever dared to use such contemptuous and insulting terms as "fatty" and "green-haired"!

Does having the Sharingan combined with special abilities really make you invincible?

Watch me slice you, you damned Uchiha brat, into pieces (electrocuted into charcoal)!

Suigetsu Hobuki and Kurosuki Raiga exchanged a glance, then simultaneously plunged their ninja swords into the ground and formed hand seals to unleash the same ninjutsu.

The technique of concealing oneself in mist!

An extremely dense white fog quickly spread out and enveloped the three of them. Coupled with the dense snow falling from the sky, it was so thick that they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces, greatly hindering the Sharingan's ability to perceive.

To prevent the use of Wind Release techniques, the two also deliberately spread a lot of chakra in the mist for control.

This renders ordinary wind-escape techniques largely ineffective, and even advanced wind-escape techniques cannot completely disperse them.

Out of fear of Uchiha Gen's genjutsu, special abilities, and the cautiousness of a ninja's instinct, Suigetsu Hobuki and Kurosuki Raiga chose to approach him head-on using water clones.

The main body, three meters away, moved to the side and slowly approached using the technique of silent killing...

The Silent Killing Book is an assassination technique developed by Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) in combination with the Kirigakure technique.

This secret technique is not something every ninja can access, but the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are qualified to use it.

However, due to their different paths, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have varying levels of mastery over this secret technique.

The person with the highest mastery of the art of silent killing is none other than Zabuza Momochi, the second owner of the Executioner's Blade.

Ordinary Uchiha ninjas would find the Hidden Mist Technique troublesome, but Uchiha ninjas who have mastered the Dust Concealment Technique are no longer afraid of it.

If the Dust Concealment Technique is used at the right time, it can even counter the Mist Concealment Technique.

Under the soul perception of the Spirit Transformation Technique, the two people's desperate attempts to hide were completely useless.

He sheathed the Kusanagi sword back into its scabbard at his waist, and Uchiha Gen's crimson eyes darted around slyly as he formed hand seals.

Fire Release: Dust Concealment Technique!

Normally, this move would produce flames, but under Uchiha Gen's precise control, all that came out of his mouth was scorching ash.

The dust quickly and silently merged into the thick fog, forming a nearly semi-circular fan-shaped barrier.

After using the Dust Concealment Technique to disrupt the enemy's senses, Chiha Gen created another shadow clone, while his main body slowly sank into the soil...

Two breaths later, the water clones of Suigetsu Hozuki and Kurosuki Raiga touched the scorching dust barrier and immediately collapsed into two puddles of water.

The two, Suigetsu Hozuki and Raiga Kurosuki, who were cautiously lurking in the past, froze.

"The water clone has been destroyed."

"It seems that the sensory means in the Silent Killing Technique also failed for a moment just now."

"My silent killing technique is barely passable; have you noticed it failing?"

Kurozuki Raiga lowered his voice as much as possible.

It's a pity that using Lightning Release ninjutsu in this terrible environment would easily result in electrocuting yourself first; otherwise, why would you need to go through all that trouble?

"I also felt the effect fail for a moment. That brat probably set a trap ahead," said Suigetsu Hobutsuki, trying to keep his voice down.

"Then let's attack from the rear."

"You go around to the back, I'll use Water Release ninjutsu to deliberately create a commotion and attract attention."

"how?"

"That's a good idea, but I have a better one."

"What idea?"

"The two of us will secretly leave and ambush Orochimaru!"

"Ah...woo."

Raiga Kurosuki was very surprised and couldn't help but exclaim, but fortunately Suigetsu Hobuki quickly covered his mouth.

"Hehe, how about it?" Watermelon Pufferfish Demon chuckled sinisterly.

"You can do that?"

"Pufferfish Demon, you are truly a man of deep thoughts."

"My wisdom is profound."

"Orochimaru is that brat's teacher. Killing Orochimaru would surely cause that brat immense heartache, wouldn't it?"

"Moreover, Orochimaru's death will inevitably cause the morale of the Konoha ninja to plummet, while our morale will soar. A great victory for Kirigakure is just around the corner."

"Besides, even if we kill Orochimaru, what chance does that wretched brat have to cause trouble?"

"We can make it however we want then..."

Kurozuki Raiga's eyes lit up and he said, "That makes sense."

"Let's do it!"

"Walk."

The two took a long detour, avoiding the high-temperature dust barrier, and quickly moved along the edge of the valley.

At first, Genji Uchiha didn't notice anything amiss with their movement, assuming they were about to ambush him from behind.

This is part of his plan.

After all, he was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, one of whom was known for his deep cunning. In the original work, it is said that even Obito Uchiha regarded him differently.

So it's not surprising that the two didn't crash straight into the hot dust.

Uchiha Gen quickly realized that the movement trajectory was wrong. He cursed the old cunning man in his heart and jumped out of the ground, directly ordering Zhu Rong and Wu Sheng to take action.

Let's not outsmart each other, let's just gang up on them!
