Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 152 Konan and Scorpion

After leaving Konoha, Uchiha Gen used the Flying Thunder God Technique to quickly head towards the Land of Whirlpools, but upon arriving in the Land of Whirlpools, he did not immediately return to the Konoha camp.

I had a great time on my way back to Konoha, and I should have a great time before leaving Konoha to make it a complete experience.

Therefore, Uchiha Gen bypassed the battle zone between Konoha and Kirigakure and went directly to Uzushiogakure, intending to spend most of the day in Uzushiogakure before returning.

Although Konoha and Kirigakure are at war, the Land of Whirlpools has not only not declined, but has become even more prosperous.

Because some of the supplies for Konoha and Kirigakure are not transported from the villages, but are purchased from nearby Uzushiogakure, this method is more cost-effective.

Both Konoha and Kirigakure have their own procurement channels, transportation channels, intelligence forces, and security forces in Uzushiogakure.

In an effort to disrupt each other's logistics, forces belonging to both sides also began to fight, which presented an opportunity for neutral forces.

The weather in Uzushima City was rather gloomy today, with thick, dark clouds covering the sky. It wasn't snowing or raining, but the wind was a bit strong and it was chilly.

Having changed his appearance, Uchiha Gen spent most of the day in the Land of Whirlpools, visiting restaurants, brothels, casinos, and street food stalls.

When Uchiha Gen was about to leave around 3 p.m., he discovered that someone was following him.

Uchiha Gen naturally wouldn't refuse the souls and lifespans offered to him, so he quietly headed towards the outer city.

Fearing that it would alert those who were following him, Uchiha Gen did not deliberately lead the way to a secluded place.

In a chaotic and dark place like the Land of Whirlpools, it's not uncommon for someone to play dumb to take advantage of someone else; the relationship between prey and hunter is constantly shifting.

Once outside the city, they arrived in a desolate wilderness, where several rogue ninjas and wandering samurai jumped out and surrounded Uchiha Gen.

"Kid, hand over all your money. We'll only rob you, we won't kill you!"

A one-eyed man with a fierce appearance stepped forward, raising his katana and pointing it at Uchiha Gen.

Did your excessive and frequent spending attract attention?

Without real strength, the Land of Whirlpools is truly a place that devours people without spitting out their bones.

In the blink of an eye, with a bang, white smoke appeared, and Uchiha Gen's original appearance appeared in the robber's eyes.

"Konoha ninja?"

"Brothers, let's retreat!"

It's not that Konoha's reputation is so great that the ninja dare not even make a move, but rather that a large number of Konoha ninja are currently gathered in the Land of Whirlpools.

These ninja feared that Uchiha Gen was a member of Konoha's intelligence network, and that his disappearance or death would surely trigger an investigation.

The ninja were well aware that their tracking methods were far from foolproof, and that quite a few people had witnessed them.

When the Konoha ninjas investigate, they will face being hunted down.

An ordinary ninja facing pursuit by the ninjas of the number one ninja village is basically doomed.

These ninja retreated decisively, but how could Uchiha Gen allow prey that had willingly delivered itself to his doorstep to escape?

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat; every little bit counts.

Then, Uchiha Gen moved swiftly and blocked the retreat of the rogue ninja.

"Kid, don't..."

Before the one-eyed leader could finish speaking, he saw Uchiha Gen's dark eyes transform into three-tomoe Sharingan, instantly falling into a genjutsu.

The other ninja were also caught in the genjutsu without any resistance when Uchiha Gen's eyes swept over them.

In this world, a look can truly kill!

The rest was simple: extract their souls and lifespans, destroy the evidence, and send the ninjas back to nature.

As for the roguish ninja's claim that they only robbed money and didn't kill, Uchiha Gen simply didn't believe it.

To allow potential risks to exist, and not being afraid of retaliation from wealthy people, does Langren have such high moral character?

Then, as Uchiha Gen was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape, he suddenly heard an explosion.

Another chance to harvest souls?

What great luck I've had today!

Uchiha Genichiro interrupted the Flying Thunder God Technique and rushed directly in the direction from which the explosion came.

As the saying goes, skill breeds daring, and Uchiha Gen was not afraid that curiosity would kill the cat if it happened to him.

The battle took place in the forest, with explosions constantly occurring, and the fighting was quite intense.

Uchiha Gen leaped from tree branches and quickly approached the battlefield, where he saw the people fighting.

A man and a woman are fighting in a clearing in the forest.

The man was a handsome young man with red hair, dressed in a brownish-red robe.

The woman was a young girl with light blue-purple hair, a bun hairstyle, a light blue paper flower on the right side of her head, light orange-yellow eyes, delicate features, and light purple eyeshadow.

She wore a black trench coat embroidered with white-edged red cloud patterns, light purple tight-fitting trousers, and a backless top with a zipper underneath.

Most of the snow on the open ground had melted, leaving behind many puppet parts and numerous large and small craters. At this moment, the red-haired boy solemnly pulled out a scroll.

With a bang, white smoke rose, and a figure appeared, with dark blue hair, yellow eyes, and wearing a white robe over a blue ninja outfit.

Since Gen Uchiha did not make any special effort to conceal his whereabouts, Konan and Sasori of the Red Sand quickly noticed the arrival of outsiders.

Konan noticed it immediately because she was flying in the sky and bombarding Sasori.

Upon seeing the figure standing on the white tree canopy, Konan and Sasori of the Red Sand stopped fighting simultaneously.

Upon seeing the ninja headband on Uchiha Gen's body, both of them simultaneously revealed a hint of killing intent.

Neither Konan nor Sasori have any goodwill towards the Konoha ninjas nowadays.

As for Konan, Yahiko died as a result of the conspiracy of Danzo, the leader of Konoha's Root, and the leader of Amegakure, and Nagato's legs were also crippled.

The goodwill I had towards the Konoha ninjas because of Jiraiya had long since vanished without a trace.

As for Sasori of the Red Sand, his parents died at the hands of Konoha's White Fang, who was also a Konoha ninja.

Furthermore, this was precisely the time when Konan was testing Sasori's strength on behalf of the Akatsuki organization, and the Third Kazekage's abilities had also been exposed...

Konan and Sasori of the Red Sand exchanged a glance, and without saying a word, they both charged towards Uchiha Gen.

Seeing their actions, Uchiha Gen thought to himself, "Our ancestor was right; curiosity really killed the cat."

Thank goodness, thank goodness he wasn't a cat, but a tiger!

Since the other party intends to start fighting directly, there is no need for him to say anything, because only strength can calm them down!

Uchiha Gen's eyes transformed into Sharingan, and he leaped directly from the tree, drawing his Kusanagi sword mid-air and unleashing a series of slashes.

Wind Flame Sword!

Golden and white flames and sword energy intertwined to form a net, one net being cast upwards and another downwards.

Upon seeing the unsealed ninjutsu, the two were slightly startled. One quickly flew upwards to dodge, while the other manipulated the Third Kazekage to activate the sand iron to form a wall of defense.

Boom! The wind-flame sword energy crashed into the sand-iron wall, unleashing a loud roar. A net-like crack appeared on the wall, and the sand-iron on the cracks turned directly into molten red iron.

After dodging, Konan used the Paper Shuriken Technique, and countless paper shuriken transformed into a torrent of furious energy that poured down.

Upon landing, Uchiha Gen unleashed Musou, which rapidly spun and lengthened, transforming into a silver-white shield that deflected all the incoming paper shuriken.

"Another fine addition to my collection of Uchiha clan ninjas."

As he spoke, Sasori manipulated the Third Kazekage to form hand seals. Molten iron fell to the ground, and jet-black iron sand condensed into fine needles, shooting out wave after wave like ocean waves...
